J. Geil is an antagonist appearing in the Japanese manga JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Part III: Stardust Crusaders, by Hirohiko Araki. The character is portrayed as an enemy of the protagonist.
Story
J. Geil is the man responsible for the murder and rape of Polnareff's sister, earning him Polnareff's desire for revenge.
He first shows by making his stand appear in front of Polnareff and forcing him to separate from the rest of the group, making him an easy target for him and his partner Hol Horse. After a short confrontation between The Emperor and Silver Chariot, Mohammed Abdul joins the fight but is quickly disposed of by a combination of the antagonists' Stands.
Polnareff is blinded by anger, and is almost killed in the same way, but Noriaki Kakyoin manages to save him in time. The two escape with a jeep, but The Hanged Man follows them and destroys the vehicle. At this point, Polnareff discovers J. Geil's stand's true nature: it is made of light and can move between reflections at high speed and attack from there. Having guessed its nature and direction, Silver Chariot manages to stab it, revealing J.Geil's position.
However Polnareff and Kakyoin are once again tricked: J.Geil gathers a crowd of people and makes its Stand enter their eyes. The trick is spoiled by Kakyoin, who focuses the people's attention on a coin, allowing Polnareff to strike the final blow. J.Geil falls and accidentally hangs himself on a gate.
Appearance/Personality
J. Geil spends most of his time hiding from plain sight, preferring to have a partner in which to rely on. This made him a perfect candidate for Hol Horse who liked him, believing they should work in pairs. He would hide in the shadows while Horse broke the glass needed for his stand to work; occasionally they would do a combination attack, such as Hol Horse breaking glass and J. Geil attacking while Hol Horse shot a bullet from his Stand, the Emperor, locking the enemy in a mortal circle.
Like his mother he had a deformity that give him two right hands.
Trivia
- In the First Edition of the Italian version of the manga, J.Geil actually had two left hands. This happened because in the 90's, manga chapters were mirror-printed in Italy, a standard procedure made to appeal the public accustomed to American comics. From Part V onwards, mirror-printing ceased, therefore in the new Italian version of Part III, J.Geil has two right hands.
