Rai Mamezuku
Rai Mamezuku (豆銑 礼, Mamezuku Rai) est un allié majeur présenté dans le 8ième volet de la série JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, JoJolion.
Introduit dans l'arc "Rai Mamezuku, botaniste (31)", Rai Mamezuku est un botaniste et cultivateur qui travaille pour la Maison du Fruit Higashikata secrètement et pour le compte exclusif de Norisuke Higashikata IV. Il s'allie à Josuke Higashikata pour sa protection et l'aide à rechercher le Locacaca.
Mamezuku est un manieur de Stand et son Doggy Style lui permet de dérouler son corps en cordelettes.
Apparence
Mamezuku est un homme bien bâti, de taille supérieure à la moyenne. Il a une coupe de cheveux plate au sommet plat coupé court mais aussi des tresses sombres derrière sa tête qu'il réajuste vers le devant. Il porte une combinaison moulante avec un motif de vigne et de nid d'abeille par dessus une chemise de couleur claire et une cravate, ainsi qu'un chapeau d'aviateur de style bombardier avec sept petites boules ressemblant à une grappe de raisin sur le devant du chapeau.
Après que le Stand Brain Storm ait infecté sa main gauche, Rai Mamezuku a perdu quatre de ses doigts.[1]
Palettes
Personnalité
Rai Mamezuku est un individu aussi brusque qu'excentrique qui se soucie peu d'être sociable ou même agréable. Il a une grande capacité d'analyse et sait penser rapidement à un moyen de confronter les obstacles sur sur chemin. Lorsqu'il apprend l'existence des Hommes-rocher à Morioh, de Josuke Higashikata et de sa quête, et surtout que les hommes-rochers vont l'attaquer, Rai prend l'initiative et part au devant de ses alliés pour être protégé.[2] Il apprend et comprend rapidement la situation et voit alors la meilleure chose à faire pour lui.[3] Durant ses premières apparitions, Rai a une certaine tendance à observer attentivement la situation et ses environs, prenant note à haute voix de tout ce qui l'interpelle. Il a aussi tendance à vouloir analyser à fond une attaque contre lui. Dans la même lignée, Rai a alors l'habitude de calculer la probabilitié qu'une chose arrive, notamment la probabilité de survie selon les facteurs environnementaux et les actions que lui et ses alliés entreprendront.[4] Il en perdra l'habitude après l'arc narratif "Urban Guerrilla et Doremifasolati Do".
Mamezuku est un homme plutôt impitoyable dans ses méthodes, et il montre qu'il n'a aucun scrupule à sacrifier d'autres personne pour atteindre un objectif qu'il juge être plus important. Par exemple, Rai a organisé son verger spécifiquement pour qu'une partie et seulement une partie soit infestée de pestes et de maladies pour protéger le reste de ses cultures, ou encore n'a aucune hésitation à se couper les doigts de la main pour préserver son bras lorsqu'un ennemi Stand menace de le tuer[1]. Enfin, Rai va jusqu'à pousser Yasuho du haut de son remonte-pente pour l'exposer à une attaque ennemi et en tirer des information, se justifiant car il pense que sa sécurité doit être la priorité dans le cadre de la recherche du Locacaca.[5] Un autre exemple de son impitoyabilité se produit lorsqu'il expose délibérément un prisonnier à Satoru Akefu pour que l'homme se blesse et ainsi avoir une chance de s'échapper discrètement de la prison et d'être discrètement amené à l'hôpital universitaire TG.[6]
De plus, Mamezuku a un grand sang-froid. Bien qu'il soit introduit en étant poursuivi par un ennemi inconnu, il agit très calmement et ne panique jamais malgré le danger mortel qu'il encourt. Une fois en terrain relativement sûr, Mamezuku prend même le temps de préparer un goûter pour lui, Josuke et Yasuho.[7] Lorsqu'il perd sa main gauche à cause d'une attaque de Stand, il la sectionne calmement pour préserver le reste de son corps.[1] Cela dit, même Rai ne peut rester calme lorsque Akefu laisse entendre qu'il est derrière la mort du père de Rai ainsi que toutes les calamités qui ont détruit le verger de ses parents, et il s'empresse d'essayer de tuer le médecin-chef, succombant à sa colère.[8]
Cependant, le trait le plus marquant de Mamezuku est son excentricité et sa franchise excessive. Tout d'abord, il est extrêmement asocial. Il semble n'avoir pour seul ami que Norisuke IV, qu'il considère néanmoins comme un très bon ami.[9] Mamezuku prend aussi de nombreuses mesures afin de rester isolé, puisque sa maison pendant l'été est en fait un remonte-pente pour une montagne laissée à l'abandon durant l'été, un remonte-pente qu'il a aménagé avec au moins une cuisine cachée et un flanc de montagne entier converit en verger;[10][11] et pendant l'hiver il réside dans une villa. De plus, Mamezuku se fiche ouvertement des autres. Par exemple, il détourne un bus sans se soucier des répercussions qu'il pourrait avoir, dit ouvertement à Yasuho qu'il se fiche de son histoire tragique[12] et considère que dans le cadre de la recherche du Locacaca, sa survie est la plus grande priorité, au-dessus de celle de Josuke et de Yasuho. D'un autre côté, Rai semble être satisfait lorsque Yasuho prend l'initiative de brouiller leurs pistes et il a tout de même la politesse d'inviter ses hôtes pour une collation pendant qu'ils discutent de leur plan.[13] Cela n'empêche pas Mamezuku de réprimander Josuke lorsque ce dernier privilégie instinctivement la sécurité de Yasuho au beau milieu d'une attaque. Il va jusqu'à pousser froidement Yasuho hors du téléski pour exposer cette dernière au Stand ennemi et ainsi observer ce qui se passe.
Dans sa jeunesse, Rai était décrit comme un garçon au mauvais caractère qui n'aimait pas les gens. Lorsque son verger familial a été saboté, Rai a rejeté l'entièreté de la faute sur ses parents.[14] Un second flashback montre aussi qu'il était déjà ami avec Norisuke IV durant sa jeunesse.[15]
Pouvoirs et compétences
Stand
Mamezuku's Stand is Doggy Style, which can create a prehensile bandage-like string from his body in order to grab objects from afar. It unravels his body into "wire rope" that he can control and manipulate.
Horticulture
Mamezuku is an expert in horticulture, his profession being a plant appraiser and a fruit grower, implying a great deal of knowledge and experience on plants. He can identify a plant simply from its appearance in a photograph, and has the knowledge on how to properly care for rare plants such as the Locacaca.
Rotation
It is eventually revealed that Mamezuku is aware of the existence of the Spin. He demonstrates this to Josuke by letting down a rope of his skin and letting it twirl around rapidly, revealing to Josuke that Soft & Wet's soap bubbles are actually soft lines that spin around.
Histoire
Passé
Mamezuku was born into a family of fruit farmers, whose high-class pears were prized goods.
In a flashback, the cultivating techniques of Mamezuku's parents were leaked, leading to a competitor managing to steal an entire crop of pear and bringing down the fruit trees. The usurpers were connected with local money lenders. Thus, his parents had to part with their orchards. Blaming his parents, Mamezuku began to live alone on a ski slope, cultivating his own fruits despite the difficulties. Mamezuku met Norisuke Higashikata IV at 17. Impressed by their quality, Norisuke appointed Mamezuku in secret to be his personal fruit grower and appraiser. Mamezuku's existence in the company was kept with the utmost secrecy, with not even Norisuke's own son Jobin ever being informed.[16]
In another flashback, Mamezuku's family seemed to have been acquainted with the Higashikata Family. At some point, the pear orchard had been ravaged by a typhoon and a strange phenomenon occurred where the trees leaked asbestos from all their orifices as they grew. Mamezuku insists that he saw an insect harm the orchard but no one believed him. However, his father went to investigate the fruits during this typhoon and was killed by a landslide. Norisuke Higashikata IV attended the funeral with his son Jobin and daughter Hato. During the ceremony, Mamezuku was pestered by some acquaintances but Norisuke got rid of them. After hugging Norisuke for comfort, Mamezuku told him again that the orchard was well raised and that he saw a strange insect lurking in the orchard while the trees died. However, Norisuke refuted his claims as he checked and saw no insect, and told Mamezuku that everything that had happened to him was some natural calamity.
At that moment, although it was very brief and hardly noticeable, it was here that young Mamezuku met Satoru Akefu, who was standing with his back turned. However, Mamezuku had duties to attend to and forgot about the strange man.[17]
JoJolion
Mamezuku is first shown when Norisuke presents a photo of him to Josuke Higashikata, advising the latter to go find him, as his skills would enable Josuke to recognize the grafted Locacaca branch.
The Plant Appraiser
After communicating with Norisuke in regards to a certain Josuke Higashikata's inquiry about a Locacaca branch, Mamezuku notices that he is under attack from an unidentified enemy moving underground. Running from his assailant, Mamezuku ends up hijacking the bus which Josuke and Yasuho Hirose are on, formally meeting them and presenting himself in the process.
Mamezuku thus drives to his summer home in the mountains, a ski lift. Discussing with Josuke and Yasuho, Mamezuku manages to find the location of the Locacaca using photographs of the orchard, and determines that the best course of action for his survival is to work with Josuke.
After a brief snack, the trio is attacked by the unknown assailant revealed to be a duo of Rock Human and Rock Animal, Urban Guerrilla and his pet Doremifasolati Do. Losing several fingers to a first attack, Mamezuku becomes upset that Josuke has protected Yasuho first instead of him. To observe the enemy, Mamezuku pushes Yasuho down the ski lift, which pushes Josuke to also jump down, although Mamezuku tells him they have to take a fuel tank stored inside one of the lift poles.
Separated from his allies, Mamezuku is attacked by Urban Guerrilla and falls down the lift, heavily injured. However, he's managed to pierce the fuel tank and bring it to Josuke alongside his lighter, which Josuke uses to make Doremifasolati Do and Urban explode.
Afterward, Mamezuku takes with him a vivarium full of moth larvae. When he tells Yasuho to leave and go home, Yasuho refuses and begins to tell her story. Uninterested by her, Mamezuku nonetheless listens when Yasuho theorizes that the strange hair clip which has tormented her may have been a Rock Animal. Thus, he sends her to investigate it.
La pression d'Ozon Baby
Arriving at the Higashikata estate through secret underground tunnels, Mamezuku and Josuke stealthily manage to plant the moth larvae in the Locacaca branch and must now wait 2 days before a new fruit grows.
Their departure is interrupted when they notice the atmospheric pressure growing inside the tunnel. Looking outside, the two see the orchard on fire and decide to use giant bubbles to protect themselves from Ozon Baby's power. Going out into the open to take the branch, Mamezuku sees the enemy, Poor Tom, and decides to confront him.
Mamezuku's attempts to break Poor Tom's neck by strangling him with his wired arm proves to be a mistake as touching Poor Tom directly increases Ozon Baby's influence on him. When Poor Tom traps a part of the wire inside a knife sheath to simulate a closed space, Mamezuku succumbs to the pressure, making his body explode.
Despite all observing parties assuming that the plant appraiser was killed by the explosion, Mamezuku was able to successfully utilize Doggy Style in order to disassemble his body rapidly, giving the impression that he was torn to shreds. After the conflict with Poor Tom ends, Josuke discovers a surviving yet disassembled Mamezuku and mourns the loss of the branch, not knowing that Jobin had obtained it covertly.
A la poursuite du directeur
After the battle, Josuke explains what happened to the Higashikata Family. Mamezuku suspects Jobin of lighting the orchard on fire, but none of them have any proof of what happened. They decide to follow the trail of the ambulance's license plate. Finding that that no such ambulance is recorded, Josuke finds another trail when Yasuho calls her to go to the TG University Hospital.
Arriving there with Josuke, Mamezuku spends some time searching for Yasuho while at the same time, she is busy fighting Dr. Wu Tomoki alongside Mitsuba Higashikata. Tipped by Yasuho's ex-boyfriend Tooru, Josuke and Mamezuku reach the secret laboratory containing several Locacaca branches. After Josuke saves Yasuho, Mamezuku scans the room and deduces in his turn that the stolen Locacaca branch isn't in the laboratory and destroys the trees of the garden.
Although Yasuho theorizes that since Tomoki tried to gain control of Mitsuba, he may have suspected Jobin as the possessor of the branch, Mamezuku is adamant about the branch being in the hands of the Locacaca Organization and stays deaf to her suggestions. He instead reports his attention to the last member of the organization unaccounted for: Satoru Akefu, the head doctor of TG University Hospital. The trio are eventually informed about the head doctor walking away behind them, but to Mamezuku's frustration, the supposedly 89 years old doctor keeps evading them as they continuously bump against objects, Mamezuku being the most subjected to these occurrences.
As the doctor leaves the hospital grounds, Mamezuku notices that his legs are being shredded and that the group is under attack from an enemy Stand. Warning against continuing the pursuit, he helplessly watch a car almost crashing into Yasuho and Josuke as they pursue the head doctor, who has now boarded a bus. Moreover, Josuke gets into trouble when a patient nearby starts a fight and his broken neck violently and suddenly snaps on Josuke, making it look like he murdered the man. A crowd gathers and the police arrives as Mamezuku, unwilling to be arrested, tells Yasuho to get away while he and Josuke must find a way out of this situation.
Mamezuku and Josuke eventually decide to hide inside a Lamborghini, itself also hidden in the foliage of a tree. They last until two days before the harvest. Having bought some supplies, Mamezuku stitches himself up and also discovers that Satoru Akefu may be attending a lecture on regenerative medicine at the TG University Hospital. At the same time, he and Josuke discuss the exact nature of Satoru Akefu's Stand. Once they decide to actually go to the lecture, Akefu's Stand reappears, making them realize that it is triggered by the intent of pursuit. As they worriedly leave the car to escape the incoming attack, Mamezuku and Josuke discover with horror that the drops from an incoming rain become lethal projectiles, forcing them to take refuge in a police car.
Determined to get to the hospital and reach Satoru Akefu's lecture, Josuke steps out of the car and gets pierced by the raindrops on purpose to be injured and taken to the hospital. Shocked, Mamezuku notices that the attack has ended with Josuke being taken out, or worse, and angrily yells at the police to get an ambulance. Mamezuku is apprehended by the police.
Combat contre le directeur
Mamezuku thinks about the enemy's ability and enacts his evasion plan. He begins by stealing a mobile phone and a kitchen knife from the evidence locker and smuggles them inside of his cell.
Sitting with another prisoner who complains about his constant mumbling, Mamezuku mentions that he's innocent and was only sheltering his equally innocent friend Josuke and then inquires about his cellmate's health. This enrages the man who only wants to be left in peace but then Mamezuku mentions the power of the head doctor Satoru Akefu. Mamezuku shows the mobile phone and the kitchen knife and states that he's free to go outside but must stay in the cell. Filming the exterior with the phone, Mamezuku shows the screen to the cellmate and mentions the elderly man in a black suit standing near the window but with his back facing them. The cellmate shouts that there isn't anybody but Mamezuku insists, theorizing the figure to be a materialization of "calamity energy". To prove his point, Mamezuku stands up to get a good look at the man but a cup of water suddenly spills on the floor and the light breaks, sending shards flying at them. He also tries to call Josuke to inform him about the enemy and his dish bursts, revealing a swarm of maggots.
Thus, Mamezuku claims that the man is a form of karmic retribution whose energy is probably related to the deeds of the individual who sees him. Mamezuku finally manages to make his cellmate see the doctor and mentions that he's found photos of a knife attack in the phone incriminating the cellmate. Pushed over the edge, the cellmate takes the knife but Mamezuku unravels his hand and pushes the knife in the cellmate's throat, stating that he's been waiting for this moment. The police rushes the injured criminal to the hospital. When the ambulance reaches the TG University Hospital grounds, Mamezuku gets out of his hiding spot, as he's unravelled himself to hide under the cellmate's clothes. Still, he can see the figure of the head doctor in the parking lot. Mamezuku expresses his final finding: that the figure is actually the Stand and that the real user is hiding somewhere. However, Mamezuku spots the real Satoru Akefu walking behind him this time, and deduces that he and the doctor are going in the same direction: towards Josuke.
As Mamezuku and Akefu both go towards the laboratory, Mamezuku is able to see more of how the Stand Akefu moves through objects and through reflections. Arriving at Josuke's room, he warns Josuke about the head doctor and its calamitous powers, but Josuke has a plan. Akefu phases through the wall to peek inside the laboratory but doesn't completely enter the room. Instead, it brings a Rock Insect named Dododo De Dadada out of his pocket. It attacks Josuke via a strange method but Josuke manages to avoid taking serious damage. Akefu dares him to get up from his chair. However, Josuke retorts that this is the latest of a series of attempt to bring them out in the open. Thus, Josuke asks a question: wouldn't it have been enough to just keep the new Locacaca? Akefu remains silent, allowing Mamezuku to realize that Akefu does not have the fruit.
Suddenly, Mamezuku remembers his past and that he'd already seen Satoru Akefu. Remembering his family's devastated pear orchard and the Rock Insect, Mamezuku then saw Josuke excreting asbestos. Remembering how his trees died, Mamezuku protects Josuke from Dododo De Dadada's second attack by blocking the stick with his palm, injuring himself in the process, and told Josuke not to move. He explains that moving up must trigger the appearance of the asbestos, and the head doctor, who identifies himself as Wonder of U, precises that the trigger is to extend one's limbs, just like how the Mamezuku's pear trees died leaking out asbestos as their branches grew. As Wonder of U practically reveals he's been responsible for the orchard's destruction and his father's death, a dark determination appears in Mamezuku's eye. However, he must first warn Josuke of an incoming attack from Dododo De Dadada, who's merged with the desk Josuke is perched on.
Rai first tries to warn Josuke but the latter is overwhelmed by Dododo De Dadada. Rai thus intervenes personally. By unraveling himself partially, Rai is able to crawl on the ceiling like a snake and take Dododo De Dadada by surprise. Rai violently extends his fingertip and impales the Rock Insect, killing it. Despite Josuke's wish to let Wonder of U come to him, Rai directly confronts the head doctor, waving his fingertip mere centimeters away from it. Wonder of U taunts Rai about the calamities that had befallen his family. Angered, Rai grabs Wonder of U by the neck and almost impales him. However, a calamity happens and Rai falls into Josuke's trap, several spinning bubbles that cut chunks of his body, including the head. Rai collapses but decides to tell Josuke the truth about Soft & Wet's power, and reveals to him the existence of the Spin, dying afterwards.
Soft and Wet: Go Beyond
Rai's body lies still as Josuke engages Wonder of U. His spirit guides Josuke about the ability of the spin and explains how it could bypass the calamity. Kei Nijimura joins the battle to assist Josuke but gets incapacitated by the calamity, her help reveals the hidden ability within Josuke's bubbles. His and Kei Nijimura's hands are seen grabbing onto Josuke. The fight reaches its climax as Josuke succeeds in using the spin with his stand's bubbles. With Wonder of U out of the fight, Josuke walks over to Holy Joestar-Kira's room and takes a moment to think about her, Rai and Kei.
Relationships
Family
- Father: Due to Mamezuku's parents' incompetence, Mamezuku ran away to live on his own. However, it's shown that Mamezuku still has love for his parents, especially his father, since Mamezuku at some point attended his father's funeral. After finding out that the landslide that struck his father was a calamity caused by Wonder of U, his father's death becomes one of the primary factors that drive Mamezuku's intentions on fighting Akefu.
- Mother: Due to Mamezuku's parents' incompetence, Mamezuku ran away to live on his own. Mamezuku's relationship with his own mother remains unclear, though she attended Mamezuku's father's funeral with Mamezuku. Later on, overwhelmed by the amount of debts from the pear orchard, she fell ill and died.[18] Like the case with his father, Mamezuku becomes enraged after learning that his mother's death was also a calamity by the Head Doctor.
Friends and Allies
- Norisuke Higashikata IV: Mamezuku met Norisuke at the age of 17. Norisuke became impressed at Mamezuku's fruit cultivating skills, and therefore hired Mamezuku to be his secret personal fruit grower and appraiser. Since then, their secrecy remains unnoticed even to the eldest son Jobin. It is shown that Norisuke assumes a father figure role to Mamezuku, as he attended his father's funeral, and was there to comfort him.
- Josuke Higashikata: They ally together due to their connection with Norisuke, and so that Mamezuku could tell Josuke where the New Locacaca branch is. They still get along with each other regardless.
- Yasuho Hirose: Despite Yasuho helping Mamezuku investigating the Rock Organisms and the Locacaca, Mamezuku shows little to no care for Yasuho. During their encounter with Urban Guerilla and Doremifasolati Do, Mamezuku pushed her off as a disposable, ignoring Josuke's angry reaction. They still seem to get along with each other regardless.
Enemies
- Satoru Akefu: Akefu did attend Mamezuku's father's funeral at some point; it was very brief, but it was here that Mamezuku and Akefu met each other for the first time. After finding out that the landslide that claimed his father's life was a calamity caused by Wonder of U, his father's death becomes the primary factor that drives Mamezuku's intentions on fighting Akefu.
- Dododo De Dadada: Mamezuku does not directly consider Dododo De Dadada an enemy, though in his past he saw the Rock Insects infest his father's pear orchard with asbestos. It is unclear if one of them was Dododo De Dadada. Mamezuku kept trying to tell the public about this, but they didn't believe him; only his father did.

Right now, developments in science and technology, terrain and natural environments, art, thinking, and economics seem to have thoroughly surpassed all limitations... Despite all this, there is a region which, ever since the dawn of human civilization, has remained unsolved. A region that no kings or sages have ever been able to conquer. A region which sages gave up on trying to conquer and deemed accepting it to be unconquerable as correct. That is the region known as not dying. But humanity had proof before it that it exists at the cellular level. The mechanism is astoundingly simple. The equivalent exchange of cells.

If you just 'move an inch' from that chair... An all-out attack of a power called Disaster will be coming for you!!”—Rai Mamezuku, JoJolion Chapter 98: The Wonder of You, Part 15
- “Nobody is aware of it. Nobody sees it within their stand. It's a line. The lines, they spin... Your soap bubbles are soft, spinning lines! That is the spin! And inside it, there are things that cannot... be seen...”—Rai Mamezuku, JoJolion Chapter 100: The Wonder of You, Part 17
