Cette branche est une plante démoniaque, il n'y a pas d'humain qui puisse l'apprivoiser ! Alors, je vais aller la ramasser!

Personnalité

Rai se fichant ouvertement de l'histoire de Yasuho

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

Main article: Doggy Style

Le Stand de Mamezuku est Doggy Style. Le Stand lui-même ne fait rien mais permet à Rai de dérouler son corps en bandelettes préhensiles, qu'il peut aussi contrôler pour manipuler des objets.

Introduction
Pouvoir(s)
Corps déroulable

Horticulture

Mamezuku est un expert en horticulture, sa profession étant d'évaluer les plantes et de faire pousser des fruits, ce qui implique une grande connaissance et une grande expérience des plantes. Il peut identifier une plante simplement à partir de son apparence sur une photo et sait comment prendre soin de plantes rares comme le Locacaca.

Rotation

Mamezuku est conscient de l'existence de la Rotation. Il en fait la démonstration à Josuke en laissant tomber une bandelette de son doigt et en la laissant tournoyer rapidement, révélant à Josuke que les bulles de savon de Soft & Wet sont en fait des lignes souples qui tournent. On ne sait pas s'il sait réellement utiliser la Rotation ou s'il en a juste conscience.

Histoire

Passé

Rai Mamezuku est né à Morioh d'une famille de cultivateurs de fruits. Ils étaient spécialisés dans la culture de poire de très haute qualité et leurs poire étaient des produits très prisés.

Wonder of U aux funérailles du Père de Rai

Dans un premier flashback, les techniques de cultures des parents de Rai ont été dévoilés à leurs concurrents, et l'un d'eux a réussi à voler tout une récolte de poires tout en abattant les poiriers des Mamezuku. Ces criminels étaient aussi liés à des des usuriers sans scrupules. Ainsi, les parents de Rai ont du se séparer de leur verger. Rai en vint à blâmer ses parents pour leur incompétence et décida de vivre seul sur un remonte-pente, cultivant ses propres fruits sur la montagne malgré la difficulté de son entreprise. Rai rencontra Norisuke Higashikata IV à l'âge de 17 ans. Impressionné par la qualité de ses fruits, Norisuke fit de Rai Mamezuku son botaniste personnel en secret, en charge de cultiver des fruits et de juger la qualité des produits que Norisuke pouvait acheter. L'existence de Rai fut un secret bien gardé de tous, même de Jobin Higashikata le fils de Norisuke.[16]

Dans un autre flashback contredisant le premier, la famille Mamezuku connaissait déjà la famille Higashikata. A un moment, le verger des Mamezuku a été ravagé par un typhon et par un étrange phénomène, les arbres se sont mis à suinter de l'amiante de leurs orifices alors qu'ils poussaient, ce qui a fini de les tuer. Un jeune Rai avait alors insisté avoir vu un étrange insecte ravager le verger mais personne ne le crut. Cependant, le père de Rai était allé voir cela de plus près pendant le typhon et fut tué dans un glissement de terrain. Durant les funérailles du père de Rai, Norisuke Higashikata IV, son fils Jobin et sa fille Hato assistèrent à la cérémonie. Pendant les funérailles, Rai Mamezuku fut harcelé par des membres de sa famille, mais Norisuke parvint à les éloigner. Dans deuil, Rai serra Norisuke dans ses bras. Rai tenta de convaincre Norisuke de l'existence de l'insecte mais Norisuke réfuta cette théorie, disant qu'il avait vérifié le verger mais trouvé aucun insecte. Il affirma alors que ce qui était arrivé aux Mamezuku n'était que pure malchance, une "calamité" inévitable.

Ironiquement, c'est à ce moment que Rai aperçu pour la première fois le directeur Satoru Akefu, qui avait le dos tourné. Rai et Norisuke oublièrent vite cet homme, ayant des devoirs autre part à remplir.[17]

JoJolion

On aperçoit Rai Mamezuku pour la première fois durant "JoJolion" lorsque Norisuke IV montre à Josuke Higashikata une photo de Rai, conseillant à Josuke d'aller chercher son botaniste afin que ce dernier l'aide à retrouver la branche de Locacaca cachée dans le verger des Higashikata.

Le botaniste

Mamezuku rencontre Josuke et Yasuho

Norisuke appelle Rai Mamezuku hors-champs pour lui informer que Josuke Higashikata recherche la branche du Locacaca que Josefumi Kujo et Kira avaient cachée et a besoin de lui pour retrouver la branche. Mamezuku se rend compte qu'il est alors poursuivi par un ennemi inconnu qui bouge sous le sol. Mamezuku décide de battre en retraite et retrouve Josuke et Yasuho Hirose dans un bus en direction du Mont Hananero. Rai assomme d'ailleurs le conducteur et prend le volant avant de se présenter à ses alliés de fortune. Rai prend le temps d'insister qu'il doit être protégé à tout prix et que sa survie doit être la priorité.

Mamezuku conduit le bus à sa maison d'été, un remonte-pente à flanc de montagne. Josuke lui montre des photos du verger et Rai parvient à retrouver la branche, mais emmène Josuke et Yasuho pour qu'ils puissent discuter tranquillement de la meilleure façon de faire les choses.

Urban Guerrilla attaque Mamezuku

Rai prépare un romanoff aux fraises pour ses invités, montrant ses talents culinaires et son verger bien organisé à Josuke et Yasuho. Pendant ce goûter, Rai parle alors de leurs ennemis et suspecte qu'ils sont une membre d'une conspiration autour du Locacaca. C'est à ce moment que le trio est attaqué par un duo d'Homme-rocher et d'Animal-rocher : Urban Guerrilla et son animal de compagnie Doremifasolati Do. Lors d'une première attaque à cause du Brain Storm d'Urban Guerrilla, Mamezuku a sa main infectée par le Stand ennemi et il doit se couper quatre doigt. Agacé car Josuke a protégé Yasuho à sa place, Rai réprimande son allié. Rai pousse alors Yasuho hors de son siège, la faisant tomber du remonte-pente pour l'exposer à l'ennemi. Rai souhaite pouvoir observer la méthode d'attaque de l'ennemi. L'ennemi fait surface, et Rai parvient à lancer un couteau dans l'épaule d'Urban Guerrilla, le repoussant sous terre. Josuke s'énerve et saute lui aussi pour protéger Yasuho. Rai décide d'aller rejoindre un réservoir d'essence dans le pilier suivant.

Séparé de ses alliés, Mamezuku se retrouve attaqué par Urban Guerrilla. Se déroulant en bandelette, il créé une arbalète de fortune et tire des fourchette sur Urban et le pilier. Cependant, Urban lui envoie Brain Storm et il tombe du remonte-pente, gravement blessé. Heureusement, il est cependant parvenu à percer le réservoir d'essence. Lorsque Josuke parvient à attirer Urban Guerrilla et Doremifasolati Do près du pilier, Rai donne de l'essence et du feu à Josuke, qui transporte le tout dans Doremifasolati Do et le fait exploser, lui et Urban.

Mamezuku prend avec lui un grand flacon contenant des larves de mites. Il dit à Yasuho de rentrer chez elle mais celle-ci refuse. Elle commence à raconter son histoire et affirmer sa volonté d'aider Josuke. Mamezuku se fiche ouvertement de son histoire mais est intéressé par la barrette à cheveux qui l'avait tourmenté et demande à Yasuho d'aller chez elle tout de même pour vérifier le corps et voir si ce n'était pas un animal-rocher.

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.

Mamezuku & Josuke step out to take the branch but it is ultimately stolen

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.

Somehow Josuke and his companions are unable to reach the head doctor

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 witnesses Josuke steps into the deadly rain

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.

Wonder of U confronts Josuke and Mamezuku

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 is struck by a calamity and dies from one of Soft & Wet's bubbles

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.
