Yoshikage Kira (吉良 吉影, Kira Yoshikage) est un personnage secondaire clé posthume figurant dans la huitième partie de JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, JoJolion. Il est présenté tôt dans l'histoire et gagne en signification dans l'arc narratif "Vitamin C et Killer Queen".

Yoshikage est le fils de Holy Joestar-Kira et le grand frère de Kei Nijimura. Il travaillait en tant que manieur de Stand, maniant le Stand Killer Queen. Dans la mort, des parties de son corps sont intervertis avec celui de Josefumi Kujo, ce qui créera Josuke Higashikata.

Apparence

Kira est un homme de corpulence mince à moyenne et de taille plus grande que la moyenne. Il a les mêmes mensurations que Josuke Higashikata. Il a des yeux sombres et des traits saillants, avec des cheveux noirs ondulés en batailles dont les mèches sont de longueurs inégales, une mèche lui tombant jusqu'au menton sur le côté droit du visage. Selon les dires d'Ojiro Sasame, il a de belles mains et ressemble vaguement à Josuke, bien qu'Ojiro ait déclaré qu'il y a cependant une distinction visible entre les deux. Kira portait un uniforme de marin semblable à celui de Josuke, mais avec un béret ou un bonnet à glands, contrairement à la casquette de marin de style "Dixie cup" de Josuke.

Lorsqu'on découvre son cadavre, celui-ci a perdu sa paire de testicules sans blessure apparente.[1] Ceci est dû à l'échange qui s'est effectué lorsque Kira et Josefumi étaient enterrés près des Murs qui Voient.

Personnalité

Although Yoshikage Kira has many unusual and dark personality traits, his love for his mother and loyalty to his allies put him on the side of good.

Kira harrassing Ojiro

Kira is a narcissist, keeping sculptures of his own hands around his house, apparently as documents to their ideal state.[2] A copy of the Mona Lisa hangs from a wall in his living room,[3] alluding to the Kira from Diamond is Unbreakable's obsession for beautiful hands although this version of Kira doesn't show the same fetish. He seems to have certain obsessive-compulsive tendencies, keeping an organized stock of entirely green foods,[4] and shelves of containers of his fingernails in his bathroom, labeled by date.[5]

His interactions with others are mostly cold and apathetic, fitting and contrasting his occupation as a surgeon. As a teenager, he immediately jumped to the conclusion that a drowned and unconscious Josefumi was fated to die, showing exasperation when his mother prompted him to manually save the boy's life, only wishing to see Titanic in theater later and leaving the hospital alone because of it.[6] As an adult, when a fellow crew member on his team is injured, sustaining heavy blood loss and the inability to breathe, as the surgeon of the crew, Kira applied little effort to helping him, nonchalantly putting his shoes on before getting out of bed and ordering the others to hold his hand and encourage him, without so much as looking in his direction, his lack of concern was mostly due to presumably knowing the seriousness of the injury and that the crew member was in no life-threatening danger.[7]

He is shown in several instances speaking to Ojiro Sasame in a deliberately confusing and insulting manner, intimidating and threatening him away from the coast in order to rectify Kira's personal problem with him as a surfer; being 'indecisive' about being either a man of the sea or of the land. Apparently, it went to the point that Ojiro ate his own fingers.[8] Another milder instance of Kira brutalizing Ojiro happened when he inserted a small bomb in Ojiro's cheek to chase him away.[9]

Despite his aloofness, Kira has helped save Josefumi

However, his sister Kei claims that he was not heartless, as he cared for his mother and actively worked to save her from the same disease that plagues the Higashikata family.[10] On another occasion, Kira sacrificed his life to save Josefumi when their plan to cultivate and harvest the Locacaca fruit was found out by Yotsuyu and Damo, as he believed Josefumi had no right to die since he was only involved because of Kira's own personal agenda. This proves he can be a good loyal friend to those he cares for.[11][12] His thoughtfulness was also shown the first time he met Yasuho Hirose, as he made sure to kill the Hair Clip that tormented Yasuho while apologizing to her and promising to reimburse the cost.[13]

Even when he's cornered, Kira remains defiant

Kira also shows remarkable spirit in the face of adversity. When Tamaki Damo captured him and Josefumi, Kira showed unwavering defiance, even swearing that he would kill all of them and seize the Locacaca, and at the same time thought up and completed a plan that would help him and Josefumi escape from the Rock Humans.[14]

Kira is one of the few characters who express the belief that there is a kind of fated connection between Stand Users.[15]

Pouvoirs

Stand

Main article: Killer Queen (JoJolion)

Le Stand de Yoshikage Kira est Killer Queen, un Stand humanoïde qui génère des bulles qui explosent au contact. Killer Queen avait aussi la capacité de relâcher des tanks-bombes miniatures "Sheer Heart Attack". Une partie de ses pouvoirs sera transmis à Josefumi Kujo, ce qui résultera en un changement des pouvoirs de Soft & Wet.[16]

Médecine

En tant que médecin-chirurgien, Kira fait preuve d'une grande compétence. Il est par exemple capable de diagnostiquer et de traiter des blessures rapidement et sur place. Alors qu'il travaillait dans un cargo, il a rapidement diagnostiqué et traité les blessures d'un marin qui venait de perdre son oeil.[17] La personnalité calme de Kira et son pouvoir Stand l'aident grandement et lui permettent d'effectuer des opérations difficiles avec une grande précision sans heurt. Il peut par exemple utiliser Sheer Heart Attack pour détruire précisément des caillots sanguins.[18]

Histoire

Passé

Kira as a teen

Yoshikage Kira was born the son of Yoshiteru Kira and Holy Joestar-Kira.

When he was 4, Yoshikage met with the Flemish Giant Rabbit Cindy, but broke two of his ribs this day only to be treated by his mother.

During his youth, Yoshikage helped save Josefumi Kujo from a blood clot using his Killer Queen's Sheer Heart Attack.

In the fall of 2005,[19] Kira encountered a 13-year old Yasuho Hirose after she had been admitted to the hospital for non-fatal head injuries. Following a brief exchange between her and Holy, Kira entered Yasuho's room and apologized for his mother's behavior, while also revealing that he had stepped on Yasuho's hair clip earlier. He stated that the crystal inside was a fake, but offered to pay for it before walking out.

Kira then became a marine surgeon who was once acquainted with Ojiro Sasame. He continuously bullied Sasame questioning him as to whether surfers are "people of the sea or people of the land", stating that he "dislikes passing through the borders of things", as well as the ambiguity in Sasame's profession, before somehow convincing him to bite off or eat all of his fingers.

At some point, Kira carved the Bookseller’s mark onto his wrist, seemingly to investigate it.[20] Josuke theorizes that Kira snuck into the Higashikata household for the "Steel Ball Run Race Complete Record", and removed the name of his sister, Kei, from the family tree that was conspicuously printed at the end of the book.[21]

Pré-JoJolion

In 2009, while on duty, Kira accidentally stumbled over Aisho Dainenjiyama in his rock form, discovering the existence of the Rock Humans. Curious, Kira then investigated Aisho's activities, learned of the Locacaca's existence, and met with Josefumi Kujo. Josefumi, having a debt toward Kira and his mother for saving his life many years before, agreed to cooperate with Kira in stealing the Locacaca. The two eventually managed to snatch a branch of the tree from Aisho without him knowing, planning to graft the branch to another tree to harvest the Locacaca later.

At some point Kira associated with Karera Sakunami, and the two took a photo together with Josefumi. She later claims that Josefumi and Kira used to live together.[22]

The tragedy of Yoshikage Kira and Josefumi Kujo

Kira and Josefumi were eventually found by Tamaki Damo and Yotsuyu Yagiyama. Tamaki proceeded to torture Kira and Josefumi, at one point cutting off Kira's liver. Kira and Josefumi, however, managed to escape and he was dragged to the location of the Locacaca, having already lost consciousness. Josefumi tried to heal him using one of the fruits, even using his Soft & Wet to break the fruit down to feed via bubbles. However, this proved to be in vain, as Kira had already died from his injuries. Josefumi, already undergoing the equivalent exchange process from the Locacaca, hugged his friend as the two were crushed by debris: causing parts of their bodies to be exchanged from the Wall Eye. Josefumi, later known as Josuke, emerged from the rubble with parts of Kira's body exchanged with his own and without any memories.

Kira's corpse is later found at this site, his cause of death diagnosed as cardiac arrest.[23] Josuke and Yasuho subsequently attempt to investigate Kira, particularly due to his connections to the Higashikata family.
