—Jobin Higashikata, JoJolion Chapter 76: Ozon Baby's Pressure, Part 4

Jobin Higashikata (東方 常敏, Higashikata Jōbin) est un antagoniste primaire figurant dans la huitième partie de JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, JoJolion.

Jobin est l'héritier aussi excentrique qu'ambitieux de la Famille Higashikata. Il est le mari de Mitsuba Higashikata et a un fils, Tsurugi. Il travaille au sein de la Maison du Fruit Higashikata, mais est aussi un membre de l'Organisation Locacaca. Jobin est un manieur de Stand et son Speed King lui permet d'accumuler la chaleur dans des points précis.

Apparence

borderless

Jobin Higashikata est un homme adulte de taille plutôt supérieure à la moyenne avec une carrure moyenne. Il a quatre rainures verticales qui lui traversent le visage, croisant le milieu des yeux et allant jusqu'au bas de la mâchoire, deux autres cicatrices allant à l'extérieur de chaque rainure principale. Il n'avait pas ces rainures en tant qu'enfant mais elle sont apparues sans raison apparente alors qu'il avait 16 ans.[1] Plus tard, un redesign réduit le nombre de rainures à deux, une de chaque côté du visage.[2] Au début, ses sourcils étaient coupés par les rainures mais ce détail disparait pour des apparitions ultérieures. Ses sourcils ont tendance à se froncer.

Jobin a une coupe courte, les cheveux sur les côtés sont coupé très court, étant de ton foncé et parsemé de pointes courtes, tandis que les cheveux clairs sur le haut de sa tête sont plus longs et repliés sur la droite de son front, la frange étant maintenue par une barrette.

Il porte une tenue générale de couleur claire composée d'un pantalon et d'un haut à capuche, tous deux munis de pointes bulbeuses. La partie à capuche est de couleur foncée, et le deuxième des deux boutons porte le blason de la Famille Higashikata. Jobin porte également un petit collier tissé. Dans ses apparitions ultérieures, la section des poignets de ses manches est également de couleur foncée ; et ils ont des boutons de manchette qui ont un design similaire à celui des lunettes de son Stand.

Après avoir perdu son pari contre Josuke, Jobin se rase le sourcil gauche, ce qui lui donne un air " bizarre ", comme il le dit lui-même.

Personnalité

Que le temps ou l'ère où nous nous trouvons change, ou que les règles et les lois de la société changent... quelque soit le cruel ennemi qui trépasse sur les terres de la famille Higashikata... nous sommes sans merci.
—Jobin, JoJolion Chapter 85: The Wonder of You, Part 2
Jobin était et est toujours proche de sa mère Kaato

Quand il était un enfant, Jobin Higashikata était très timide et introverti. Il était mélancholique à cause de la Maladie Pétrifiante et supportait en silence le mauvais traitement que certains de ses aînés lui infligeait dans son groupe de scouts, n'ayant pas le courage de se défendre. On voit cependant Jobin refuser lorsque la brute qui le harcelait lui ordonne de brûler une maison.[1]

Un soir, après que Jobin ait utilisé Speed King pour la première fois et gravement blessé son tourmenteur avec, Kaato a utilisé cette opportunité pour changer Jobin pour toujours. Lui assurant qu'il n'avait rien fait de mal, Kaato a assuré Jobin qu'il se devait de toujours "grimper plus haut" et laisser derrière le reste de la société, et qu'il devait protéger sa famille. Inspiré par les mots de sa mère, Jobin commit son premier meurtre et effectua un transfert de sa maladie à la brute. Depuis, Jobin est un homme assuré, confiant, très extraverti mais aussi très ambitieux et impitoyable.[1] Cet incident a forgé la philosophie de Jobin. Selon lui les hommes sont tous nés à un niveau "nul", quelque soit leurs circonstances. Il croit que par conséquent, les hommes devraient chercher constamment et à tout prix à grimper, à acquérir plus de bien et plus de puissances, et que c'est seulement comme cela qu'on obtient le bonheur. Etant très ambitieux et fier du statut de la Famille Higashikata, Jobin méprise le reste de la population. Il se montre arrogant et se croit privilégié, exigeant qu'on donne à sa famille un traitement de faveur à cause de leur status, et se plaint lorsque d'autres personnes les traitent comme des gens ordinaires.[3] Jobin est fier de la famille et son ambition s'étend à vouloir faire hisser sa famille au sommet. Croyant au darwinisme social, Jobin ne croit qu'en la force et rêve d'acquérir du pouvoir, que ce soit sous forme d'argent, ou autre ressource qui leur assurerait du succès. Il dit d'ailleurs que les notions de chance ou de malchance, de bien ou de mal, de légalité et d'illégalité ne sont pas importantes car seule la force permet de maîtriser sa vie. Jobin souhaite de faire sa famille une famille forte et sans merci,[4] et essaie d'inculquer ses leçons à son fils Tsurugi.

Jobin frustré quand Joshu ne reconnait pas une citation de "Mitsuo Aida".

D'ordinaire, Jobin se montre excentrique et jovialement extraverti. Il a un certain sense de l'humour, et par exemple aime citer le poète Mitsuo Aida. Lorsqu'il s'amuse, Jobin aime bien augmenter les enjeux pour rendre la situation plus intéressante et s'amuse d'un rien. De manière bégigne, il va par exemple demander à son petit frère Joshu d'encourager son adversaire Josuke Higashikata.[5] Dans le contexte du test de personnalité de Norisuke,[6] Jobin aime les figurines de robots.

In contrast, Jobin sometimes displays the personality of a manchild, with even his own son Tsurugi noticing. In his room, he keeps a large shelving unit full of display cases for exotic beetles.[7] It is hinted that his fondness for beetles is the way they symbolize strength. He breeds beetles to make them fight[8] and considers them to be gladiators when on the arena.[9] He takes great care of his beetles, but he is ready to sacrifice them in order to match a beetle match. For instance, he stuffs one of his beetles with wax so that Speed King can control its movement, uncaring of the fact it will die soon after.[10] This childish streak appears to extend beyond this as Jobin often makes reference to 'summer vacation' and other such indulgences correlating to a typical childhood.[11][12][13]

Jobin prend agressivement les rênes de la famille

On ne voit pas souvent Jobin interagir avec ses frère et soeurs, sachant qu'il est souvent occupé à comploter. On peut le voir interagir avec Joshu le temps d'un arc, et on le voit regarder son frère le dos, lui assénant quelques piques et étant agacé quand Joshu a du mal à le suivre. Joshu cependant adore et respecte grandement sa mère. Il est le seul allié de Kaato au sein de la famille, ayant eu des moment très proches et étant complices ensemble d'un meurtre.[1] Jobin aime et respecte aussi son père, Norisuke IV, mais son ambition est frustré par l'attitude plus placide de Norisuke et Jobin souhaite développer la Maison du Fruit Higashikata.[13] Jobin aime aussi sa femme Mitsuba et son fils Tsurugi, coopérant aussi avec eux pour sauver Tsurugi à tout prix.

Dans l'histoire, Jobin désire acquérir le Locacaca et utiliser son pouvoir. Cela lui permettrait de débarrasser la famille de la Maladie Pétrifiante[14] mais il est aussi conscient du potentiel du fruit. Ce désir fort fait qu'il veut obtenir à tout prix le fruit et ne recule devant rien pour l'acquérir. Il essaie d'empêcher Josuke le fruit, disant même qu'il se fiche que le Stand de Dolomite qu'il déploie cause le chaos en ville, ou même que la ville soit détruite. Quand il acquiert le fruit, Jobin est aussi prêt à tuer de sang froid pour le conserver. Il assassinera Ojiro Sasame et Maako Kitani lorsqu'Ojiro vole le fruit, et élimine Maako par simple association avec lui.[15] Il essaiera aussi de tuer Yasuho Hirose lorsque celle-ci enquête dans la maison des Higashikata pour trouver le fruit.[16] Enfin, il s'attaquera même à son père Norisuke pour prendre le contrôle de la famille lorsqu'il semble que Norisuke ne voudra pas coopérer avec lui pour garder le fruit, même s'il le fait avec regret.[17] Malgré son impitoyabilité et confiance apparente, Jobin avait des doutes et des craintes sur ce qui allait se passer lorsqu'il a acquis le fruit, confessant seulement cela à sa mère Kaato.[18]

Jobin est plutôt intelligent et perceptif. Par exemple il sait utiliser son pouvoir de façon imaginatif pour tricher à un combat de scarabées, et devine rapidement que Josuke est venu le voir pour accomplir un objectif secret.[19] Malgré les grandes restrictions sur son pouvoir, Jobin est imaginatif et sait utiliser les effets de la chaleurs pour accomplir d'autres taches.

Pouvoirs

Stand

Main article: Speed King

Jobin possède le Stand Speed King. Lorsque Jobin ou Speed King touchent quelque chose, la zone de 10 cm (3.9 in) de diamètre retient la chaleur et l'accumule même, augmentant localement la chaleur et produisant un endroit où la chaleur devient intense.

Speed King (スピード・キング)Link to this section

Introduction
Pouvoir(s)
Accumulation de chaleur
SPEEEEYYY SPEYAHH! / MERARYARYA!

Ce pouvoir requiert que Jobin entre en contact direct avec le point qu'il veut affecter. Le point de chaleur peut se faire transférer d'un objet à l'autre, par exemple, lorsque Jobin offre un mouchoir à Josuke, le point de chaleur dans le mouchoir se transmet à Josuke quand celui-ci s'essuie avec. Jobin s'en sert de diverses façon. En augmentant la chaleur du corps à des températures extrêmes, il peut faire bouillir le sang dans les vaisseaux et donner des coups de chaleur dangereux aux gens. Sa capacité à augmenter la chaleur lui est utile dans d'autres cas plus uniques, comme faire fondre de la cire mises dans une lucane pour contrôler ses gestes, ou faire brûler du papier.

Histoire

Passé

It is known from his son Tsurugi's explanation of the Higashikata family's superstitious beliefs of warding away "demons of sickness" that Jobin, being the firstborn son of his family, was raised as a girl until he turned twelve.[20]

Kaato & Jobin sacrifice another boy

During his youth, Jobin suffered from the Rock Disease, causing his skin to crack and suffer short-term memory loss, forgetting whatever happened the last day. Two of his seniors at a local scouting movement he was part of, bullied and coerced him to steal a set of Kaato's underwear and take a photo of her under the shower. Coincidentally, a fellow scout spotted Jobin being bullied and denounced the bullies to their school and the police. One of the bullies dragged Jobin to the scout's house one night and tried to coerce him further to set the denouncer's house on fire, Jobin refused and punched the bully in retaliation. Furious, he drenched Jobin's head in oil as a threat; at this moment, Jobin awakened his Stand, Speed King, and heated the blood inside the bully's head, stunning him gravely. Going to his mother for help, Jobin went to the hole under the lone pine tree with the unconscious bully and Kaato. There, Kaato told him that he was destined to climb further up despite his unfair birth, and told him to go bury the bully inside the hole. Jobin thus performed an equivalent exchange. Since then, Jobin had taken Kaato's words to heart and became more assertive.

At one point, Jobin attended the funeral of Rai Mamezuku's father.[21]

Jobin met the Rock Humans of the Locacaca Organization one day as he and Norisuke were watching a game of baseball at Morioh Stadium. He was frustrated by the lack of recognition the Higashikata Family should have, and ambitioned to expand the business to cheap products. However, Norisuke objected to these plans. Frustrated, he was then contacted by Yotsuyu Yagiyama and became a member of the Locacaca Organization, using his trades as a cover for the organization's operations.

JoJolion

Lorsque Josuke Higashikata est accueilli au sein de la famille Higashikata, Jobin est déjà parti en voyage à l'étranger pour affaires. Lorsque Norisuke organise une séance photo pour marquer l'adoption de Josuke, Joshu mentionne l'absence de Jobin. Norisuke IV annule immédiatement la photo, car il ne supporte pas l'idée d'avoir une photo familiale sans l'héritier de la famille. Durant son voyage, Jobin va au Vietman et aux Philippines pour trouver des fruits à importer. Il ramène discrètement avec lui un pot de Locacaca au Japon, qu'il donne à Aisho Dainenjiyama dans la rue avant de ce rendre au Bar à Fruit Higashikata.

Meeting Josuke Higashikata

Main article: JJL Chapter 33
Jobin formally meets Josuke

Josuke first encounters Jobin in the Higashikata Fruit Parlor after the events surrounding Yotsuyu. Josuke spills some ice cream on his foot. As Jobin cleans it up, he sees his father and they share a happy welcoming back. He formally meets Josuke and offers him several gifts as a welcome to the family, including a prized Dorcus titanus palawanicus (giant stag beetle). Norisuke and Jobin leave the place, but Josuke discovers that Norisuke's King Nothing has detected the scent of the Locacaca on his handkerchief, suggesting that Jobin may know something regarding the fruit capable of healing the family's disease and may possibly be involved with Yotsuyu. Jobin then returns to the house and gives the family souvenirs from his trips.

Josuke comes to ask for advice concerning raising a beetle but when he inspects the live beetles Jobin keeps in a terrarium, he nonchalantly mentions that his Palawanicus could beat it in a straight fight. Interested, Jobin then challenges Josuke to a beetle fight. Josuke uses the opportunity to raise the stacks with a bet. Setting a fighting arena made of cork circled with soft rush plant, Jobin explains the rules of a beetle fight:

  • According to the apparent 45-second memory of the beetles, during which they are eager to fight, a determining factor in a fight can be raised by brushing them with female beetle pheromones.
  • The contestants make the beetles fight for a period of 45 seconds. The beetle that is killed, is lifted up for 10 seconds, or leaves the ring loses.

Jobin then demonstrates the fighting proficiency of his own Palawanicus by making it kill a Japanese hornet and proposes that the loser shaves his eyebrow, to which Josuke accepts.

Josuke challenges Jobin to a beetle fight

The first round begins between the two Palawanicus. At first, Jobin's beetle gets the upper hand due to its sharpened mandibles and planted female pheromones from a brush, making it push Josuke's beetle to the border of the arena. However, Josuke's beetle then somehow makes Jobin's beetle flee out of the arena. Josuke is shown to have planted pheromones on the arena and released then at an opportune moment to boost his beetle. A frustrated Jobin shaves off his left eyebrow. Despite his loss, Jobin is enjoying himself and challenges Josuke to another beetle fight, and again Josuke accepts. Josuke then proposes his true goal; the Lamborghini Jobin owns. Jobin accepts and also orders Joshu to cheer Josuke on. Jobin takes a second opponent: a golden stag beetle, also known as a Rosenbergi. As the match begins, Jobin tells Josuke that if he wins, he is allowed to lick Josuke's eyeball.

Jobin uses his Stand during the beetle fight

The Palawanicus' superior size and weight enables it to push the Rosenbergi to the border of the ring. However, the Rosenbergi suddenly moves in an unnaturally precise manner, knocking the Palawanicus over and biting off one leg. The Palawanicus is almost pushed over the border as Josuke reads from an encyclopedia that stag beetles instinctively play dead when feeling strong vibrations at their legs. As the Rosenbergi chomps off another leg, Josuke notices liquid oozing from its head. The Palawanicus falls from the ring, but since the clock went over 45 seconds, Josuke has not lost. Before the second bout, Josuke inquires about the liquid. Jobin reveals that it's wax, that when melted will cause convulsions in the beetle and eventually kill it, but not before Jobin wins. The second bout begins and the Rosenbergi slowly overwhelms the Palawanicus with its precise movement. Suddenly Joshu knocks his foot on the tank where the hornet was killed and asks where the lower half of it's body with the stinger went. The abdomen is shown to be near Josuke who is now showing confidence as the Rosenbergi goes mad and convulses. Josuke had planted some of the hornet's poison in Jobin's brush, which eventually killed his beetle, making Josuke the winner.

As Josuke takes the Lamborghini's keys with him and leaves the room, Jobin stops him, having realized that Josuke went there for an ulterior motive. Using Speed King, Jobin induces a heavy nosebleed in Josuke and tries to interrogate him. However, the fire alarm activates and Josuke flees in the confusion. Jobin decides not to immediately follow Josuke and checks on the garage, but sees nothing out of the ordinary.

Doobie Wah

Après le chaos causé durant le combat de scarabée, Jobin nettoie sa chambre. C'est alors qu'Aisho Dainenjiyama l'appelle au téléphone. Aisho demande si Jobin sait pourquoi on est en train de suivre Aisho. Jobin connecte cet évènement à Josuke, mais n'étant sûr de rien, ne dit rien. Il permet à Aisho de tuer ceux qui suivent ce dernier, ne sachant pas que Tsurugi est parmi ces poursuivants. Ce sera Aisho qui meurt, tué par Tsurugi.

Hato Brought Her Boyfriend Home

In the aftermath of Tamaki Damo's attack on the Higashikata House, Jobin is shown in his car nearby, where he witnesses Damo's death at the hands of Josuke. He is then called by his mother, Kaato Higashikata, who he promises to pick up from prison, but is asked to keep her release a secret from the family as she wants it to be a surprise.

Dawn of the Higashikata Family

Following Kaato's arrival and shortly after her sudden departure to the hotel, Jobin enters the family room. He nonchalantly reveals that he was the one to let her in, and goes to examine his breakfast. This causes Norisuke to become suspicious of Jobin.

Dolomite's Blue Lagoon

Jobin meets with Dolomite

Working directly with Kaato, Jobin begins to investigate Norisuke's garden at night as he searches for a Locacaca Branch. He is accidentally caught by one of his father's security surveillance cameras, which Josuke quickly discovers. The event confirms Norisuke and Josuke's suspicions of his treachery while Jobin remains unaware of his detection. Kaato calls Jobin, informing him of his father's suspicious behavior and the fact that Norisuke has given Josuke a private cell phone to contact him with.

Worried by this, Jobin drives to a nearby shrine where he summons a disfigured Rock Human named Dolomite using fried chicken. He informs Dolomite of the deaths of the previous Rock Humans that were defeated by Josuke and company, all before asking Dolomite for a favor. Jobin shows Dolomite the evidence that through the power of the Locacaca, Josefumi Kujo and Yoshikage Kira fused to become the current Josuke. Jobin then proposes that Dolomite help him find a Locacaca.

Jobin takes out Yasuho

Jobin compliments Dolomite on his choice to cooperate, stating that everyone needs to overcome obstacles to be happy. Showing the photo of Josuke again to Dolomite, he announces his intention to stop him from finding the unknown ally who will let him find the Locacaca. As Jobin carefully puts Dolomite's tooth into an envelope, Dolomite asks if it's fine if anything dire happens to Josuke or even Morioh as a whole because of his Blue Hawaii. Jobin simply responds that he doesn't care and leaves Dolomite to eliminate Josuke. As Yasuho Hirose investigates the identity of who Blue Hawaii's user could be, Jobin tracks her down. While Yasuho is distracted using Paisley Park, Jobin uses Speed King to touch her temple. The blood within her veins begins to boil, rendering her unconscious. Jobin ponders killing her to deal a crippling blow to Josuke, however he decides against it as the murder would confirm Norisuke's suspicions. Instead, Jobin leaves Yasuho on the sidewalk and dumps the only evidence of Dolomite's true identity into a sewer drain. However he does not return to Dolomite.

Poor Tom and Ozon Baby

Jobin & Tsurugi are attacked by Ozon Baby

Jobin receives a phone call from a certain "Poor Tom", who asks to meet him inside a parking lot. At the meeting, Jobin sees that this Poor Tom is another Rock Human, and proposes him to cooperate in order to stop Josuke from getting the fruit. The baby-like Poor Tom gives him a toy house which he presents as his own Stand Ozon Baby and instructs him to bury it inside his orchard.

Jobin complies and sneakily buries Ozon Baby in the garden of his house, and soon after Tsurugi confronts him about his goals. Their conversations are interrupted when the air pressure decreases dramatically. When he tries to escape out of the shed they were in, Tsurugi begins to suffer depressurization sickness and is gravely injured. Jobin manages to save him, and realizes that he has been tricked by Poor Tom. Ozon Baby will indiscriminately attack anyone in its range through its air pressure ability. Determined, Jobin decides to use Josuke and the plant appraiser, whom he guesses are present in the garden.

Jobin & Tsurugi win the Locacaca branch

Eventually, Jobin has Tsurugi use Paper Moon King on Poor Tom to have him mistake a pear-tree branch for the Locacaca Branch. Once Poor Tom is killed and the fake branch is retrieved, Jobin takes the real Locacaca branch. Afterwards, Jobin is disguised as a cactus by Paper Moon King while Tsurugi talks to Norisuke about the branch being lost. After he leaves, Jobin reveals himself and announces his and Tsurugi's victory over everyone.

Some time after Poor Tom and Ozon Baby's attack in the Higashikata household, Kaato meets with Jobin to talk about the inevitable danger coming to the family. Jobin explains to her that his Miyama stag beetle has performed an equivalent exchange with his Hercules beetle. He shows the pot of the grafted New Locacaca branch that Josuke Higashikata and plant appraiser Rai Mamezuku had been searching for. Kaato advises against telling Norisuke about their plans and expresses her pride in Jobin. She tells him to continue growing the plant using her Stand to store a part of the potted plant in between her cards. Later on, he asks her to bring his favorite cream stew for her next visit in the following day.[22]

The Harvest Approaches

Jobin hides the Locacaca

Hiding the Locacaca in his vivariums, Jobin talks with his wife Mitsuba and ominously declares that the Higashikata Family is becoming stronger. Mitsuba catches a glimpse of the Locacaca, causing Jobin to suspect that she is up to something.

However, his plans are thrown into disarray as his son, Tsurugi approaches him. Informing Jobin of a man named Ojiro that knows about the Locacaca. Jobin doesn't know the man and hastily checks on his Locacaca, only to realize that Tsurugi's hand has been put under the influence of Ojiro's Stand Fun Fun Fun. Tsurugi inadvertently leaked the location of the Locacaca to Ojiro who yearns to possess the fruits, so Jobin tries to think of a counterattack.

Ojiro uses his Stand to send Tsurugi crashing through a window, forcing Jobin to grab Tsurugi to prevent him from being injured further. However, this allows Ojiro to mark Jobin's hands, and he forces Jobin to start choking Tsurugi. Jobin reveals to Ojiro that the New Locacaca can be harvested in three days, to the man's delight. Ojiro orders Jobin to reveal his Stand, to which Jobin complies. However, Tsurugi reveals his Stand as well, causing an annoyed Ojiro to swipe it out of the way. Believing that Jobin's Stand looks too dangerous for him to be left alive, Ojiro slams the window closed on the duo's necks and steals the New Locacaca (as well as some of Jobin's cash). Ojiro believes both were killed but the duo's wounds were merely an illusion created by Paper Moon King, and Jobin reassures Tsurugi that he will take the New Locacaca back. This promise is soon fulfilled, as Jobin proceeds to follow Ojiro to his girlfriend Makorin's apartment, mercilessly eliminating both of them using Speed King, and steals back the New Locacaca.

The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love)

Tsurugi's condition is worsening. As Mitsuba holds him, Jobin approaches them both from a hall-way, shocked to see the rock disease's development.

Jobin attempts to kill Paisley Park who's investigating the Locacaca

On the day of the Harvest, Jobin surprises Paisley Park in a cell phone talking to Tsurugi. He immediately grabs the phone and tosses it into a toilet to let Paisley Park drown. Watching over Paisley Park, Jobin also dissuades Mitsuba from helping Yasuho. However, when Mitsuba tries to use Awaking III Leaves to kill Yasuho, Satoru Akefu's ability manifests itself. A drip of water pierces Mitsuba's hand and she misplaces one of the arrows, which directs the force into a wall and destroys it, revealing the new Locacaca to the rest of the Higashikata Family.

When Norisuke arrives at Tsurugi's bedroom, he immediately saves Paisley Park from drowning and demands to know what is happening. Jobin tries to sway Norisuke to his side. He explains how he's gotten a hold of and grown the new Locacaca, claiming that he is following the right path, a path where Tsurugi can be saved without any sacrifice and that the family is now too committed to turn back. However, Norisuke then investigates the fruits: thanks to King Nothing, he materializes Ojiro Sasame and exposes the link between Jobin and Sasame's death. Tearful, Jobin induces a heat stroke in Norisuke with Speed King. Norisuke collapses as Jobin asks for forgiveness and Jobin cradles his father's body for a moment before recomposing himself. When his siblings rush to see Norisuke, he wards them off using Speed King and tells them to prepare themselves for the future. Jobin covers Norisuke with a tarp and expects victory, but he notices that Paisley Park's phone has been moved near an electrical outlet, allowing the Stand to escape. Jobin crushes the phone. With his siblings' attention, he reveals the nature of the Locacaca and its importance. He adds that they will protect the fruit from all enemies, including Josuke and Yasuho. Jobin then reassures them, stating that some unfortunate things may happen, but they won't be letting Norisuke die.

Jobin is struck by a calamity and dies from blood loss, letting the potted plant roll over to the door

Jobin tells them to help him bring Norisuke to the second floor and the fruit in another hiding spot. Suddenly, Mitsuba warns him about Satoru Akefu's presence in the house. Seeing him approach Mitsuba and Tsurugi in the bed in impossible ways, Jobin summons Speed King to attack the head doctor who is seemingly hiding under the bedsheets. The head doctor can't be seen and Jobin finds a damaged hair spray that bursts under the damage Speed King caused it, with the blast being quite weak and seemingly harmless. As he's explained the nature of the attack by Mitsuba, Jobin refuses to let go of the fruit and goes to check the monitors of the security cameras, seeing Yasuho but also Tooru. Jobin suddenly realizes that he's bleeding and eventually sees that the dip tube of the hair spray has pierced his chest without him realizing it. Blood flows at an alarming rate from Jobin's body and he collapses, swiftly dying in the process[23], letting the potted plant rolling towards the door to the garage.


Relations

Famille

  • Kaato Higashikata : Jobin est très proche de sa mère et la respecte grandement. D'habitude très assertif, Jobin se comporte de façon beaucoup plus obéissant devant sa mère, respectant l'autorité de celle-ci. Il a été grandement influencé par Kaato, étant devenu sans scrupules pour le bien de la famille comme elle, et ayant retenu son darwinisme social et sa volonté de toujours "grimper plus haut".
  • Norisuke Higashikata IV : Jobin est le fils aîné de Norisuke IV, et ce dernier le chérit grandement. Jobin respecte aussi grandement son père. Cependant, leurs ambitions opposés font que Jobin est très frustré que Norisuke ne veuille pas développer l'entreprise familiale. De ce fait, Jobin agit alors derrière le dos de son père pour acquérir plus d'argent et de pouvoir, s'associant avec l'Organisation Locacaca pour participer à un trafic de Locacaca.
  • Mitsuba Higashikata : Mitsuba est la femme de Jobin, une ancienne mannequin qui travaillait pour le compte de la Maison du Fruit Higashikata en participant à des publicités. Ils ont enfantés Tsurugi. Jobin aime beaucoup Mitsuba, et trouve d'ailleurs son nouveau "nez" très drôle et attirant. Jobin et Mitsuba ont un caractère similaire et sont par exemple complices dans leur tentative de tuer Yasuho pour préserver le secret qui permettrait de sauver Tsurugi. Mitsuba utilise cependant l'argent de Jobin derrière son dos pour des opérations de chirugie esthétique.
  • Tsurugi Higashikata : Tsurugi est le fils aîné de Jobin et les deux s'aiment beaucoup et s'entendent bien. Jobin essaie d'inculquer à son fils les mêmes leçons que Kaato lui a donné, à savoir être impitoyable contre ceux qui se dressent sur le chemin des Higashikata. Jobin aime son fils, et est prêt à risquer sa vie pour le sauver. Jobin vole la branche de Locacaca pour avoir le remède pour la Maladie Pétrifiante.
  • Joshu Higashikata : Joshu est le petit frère de Jobin. Joshu tient Jobin en haute estime, l'admirant beaucoup. Jobin apprécie Joshu mais semble ne pas trop le respecter, le regardant de haut quand Joshu ne comprend pas une citation du poète Aida Mitsuo. Il lui offre un homard en plastique de retour d'un voyage en Asie.
  • Hato Higashikata : Hato est la petite soeur de Jobin. Ils n'interagissent pas durant l'histoire mais Jobin a pensé à lui acheter un T-shirt (que cette dernière trouve ridicule) de retour d'un voyage en Asie.
  • Daiya Higashikata : Daiya est la petite soeur de Jobin. Ils n'interagissent pas durant l'histoire mais Jobin a pensé à lui acheter un coco cendrier (même si elle ne fume pas) de retour d'un voyage en Asie.

Ennemis

  • Josuke Higashikata : Josuke est le frère adoptif de Jobin. Ils ont en surface une relation plutôt cordiale, mais derrière les rideaux, chacun sait que l'autre est un adversaire pour la possession du Locacaca. Josuke ne veut pas particulièrement de mal à Jobin mais sait que ce dernier participe au trafic du Locacaca. Jobin lui a moins de scrupule et enverra indirectement un assassin aux trousses de Josuke en la personne de Dolomite. Durant leur combat de scarabée, Jobin appréciait notamment le persona de Josuke qui feignait une attitude nonchalante mais pleine de confiance.

  • There's one more rule [to beetle fighting]. If it's killed, it loses. For 45 seconds, they are gladiators.
    —Jobin Higashikata, JoJolion Chapter 34: It's a Summer Vacation Everyday, Part 1
  • Thrill is written with the characters for "feel" and "move".
    —Jobin Higashikata, JoJolion Chapter 35: It's a Summer Vacation Everyday, Part 2
  • It feels like I'm a kid on summer vacation again!
    —Jobin Higashikata, JoJolion Chapter 36: It's a Summer Vacation Everyday, Part 3
  • I just want to win. There's no window dressing in the world of gladiators. I want to make you surrender... I'm going to dominate.
    —Jobin Higashikata, JoJolion Chapter 36: It's a Summer Vacation Everyday, Part 3
  • This place, Mutsukabe shrine, may have a pond, it may have frogs and fish, and it may even be a paradise. But... it is certainly not your blue lagoon. Humans... they're happy when they're trying to overcome something. Even for someone like me... someone fortunate enough to be born as the eldest son of a wealthy family, I need to keep climbing higher... or I will never be happy. It's all relative. Because the point we're born at... is zero for us. And people have to go upwards.
    —Jobin Higashikata to Dolomite, JoJolion Chapter 61: Dolomite's Blue Lagoon, Part 3
  • Wait your turn by reserving a seat? Why do we have all these traditions and contributions to society, then?! Like hell I'm getting in line behind people like these! How is that fun? That's no summer vacation...
    —Jobin Higashikata, JoJolion Chapter 72: North of the Higashikata House. The Orchard
  • Listen closely, when daddy was just a bit older than you are now, he got sick. And the one who set me on the road to getting better was my mother... your grandma Kaato. And... if someday, you get sick, too... if that time comes, then daddy will be the one to cure you. I promise I will.
    —Jobin Higashikata to Tsurugi, JoJolion Chapter 72: North of the Higashikata House. The Orchard
  • Speed King, ignite.
    —Jobin Higashikata, JoJolion Chapter 73: Ozon Baby's Pressure, Part 1
  • I have a very different philosophy from grandpa Norisuke! But what I'm doing, I'm doing all of it for the future of the Higashikata Family. Whatever nice-sounding things my father says, the strong survive... and the weak disappear! That's all there is to it. No matter who you are, no one in this world can avoid that law. Listen, Tsurugi... I'll make any sacrifice I have to make are pay any price I have to pay. This curse on the Higashikata Family - your illness, I swear I'll cure it. The only bad thing is defeat! I'm going to get my hands on that Locacaca! And I'll keep them all for myself! I'm not letting anyone else have them.
    —Jobin Higashikata to Tsurugi, JoJolion Chapter 73: Ozon Baby's Pressure, Part 1
  • Let's savor this victory... you and I defeated everyone!
    —Jobin Higashikata to Tsurugi, JoJolion Chapter 76: Ozon Baby's Pressure, Part 4
  • This world, including Morioh, is crazy. And the one thing you can be certain of in this mad world... is that the one that wins is the one in the right.
    —Jobin Higashikata, JoJolion Chapter 76: Ozon Baby's Pressure, Part 4
  • That nose... it's so cool and sexy! It's kinda like my pet Hercules beetle! No, even better!
    —Jobin Higashikata to Mitsuba, JoJolion Chapter 85: The Wonder of You, Part 2
  • "There is good and bad luck in this world." That's something I've been told. There are situation where if you'd gotten somewhere one second sooner... you might have been in an accident or avoided an accident. Or you met or didn't meet someone important when you went somewhere... things where the result... is good or bad. And the cause is good or evil. There are situations like that... I've been told.

    But that is a misapprehension. A societal misunderstanding caused by large numbers of people living together. Once you clear away everything extraneous and view each individual and individual situations... what we find existing around us is ... simply... strength and weakness. Good luck and bad luck... good and evil, legal and illegal... you can forget all that. There exist simply the strong that survive and the weak which are destroyed. Those two, and nothing more.[...] And now, the Higashikata Family is in the process of becoming even stronger.

    Whether the climate or the era we're in changes, or how the rules and laws of society change... whatever cruel enemy has set foot on the Higashikata Family's land... we are without mercy. Because we always get our hands on strength. Tsurugi understands that. I can tell.
    —Jobin Higashikata, JoJolion Chapter 85: The Wonder of You, Part 2
  • Okay, listen closely... heat always flows from where the temperature is higher to where it's lower. Even if it's just a few degrees warmer than the temperature of the body, that heat will always flow from higher to lower. But my Speed King can store up heat and its temperature in one place. Like the surface of paper money, or inside a battery... or a fingertip, or the semicircular canals in the inner ear. Not a large amount of heat, but it can store it up in a place like that and keep it from dispersing. And when that place is touched, it starts flowing again. Do you understand what I've said?
    —Jobin Higashikata, JoJolion Chapter 88: The Wonder of You, Part 5
  • The Higashikata Family will shine on and on, this house will prosper to even greater heights.
    —Jobin Higashikata, JoJolion Chapter 94: The Wonder of You, Part 11
