Holy Joestar-Kira
Holy Joestar-Kira (吉良・ホリー・ジョースター, Kira Horī Jōsutā) est un personnage secondaire clé figurant dans la huitième partie de JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, JoJolion. Elle est introduite dans l'arc narratif ""Paisley Park" et "Born This Way"" et prend ensuite de l'importance dans l'intrigue.
Holy est une ophthalmologiste célèbre de l'université de médecine TH, et une professeur associée à l'Hôpital Universitaire TG de Morioh. Elle est la fille de Joseph Joestar, femme de Yoshiteru Kira et la mère de Yoshikage Kira et de Kei Nijimura.
Atteinte d'une maladie inconnue, Holy est alité à l'hôpital universitaire TG. Josuke Higashikata décide de retrouver le Locacaca pour la sauver.
Apparence
Holy est une femme d'âge mûre d'ascendance occidentale. Malgré son âge mûr, Holy conserve un air jeune. Holy a de longs cheveux bruns. Elle est représentée avec des yeux verts dans le manga couleur.
Lorsqu'elle apparait à l'hôpital, Holy porte un sweat à capuche complété par une cape. Elle porte une blouse moulante de couleur unie par dessus un autre vêtement dont on voit seulement un col décoré d'un "H" majuscule. Elle porte aussi un pantalon recouvert de plaques métalliques carrées. Elle porte également une sorte de casquette blanche décorée de fleurs et d'un autre "H". Elle était initialement représentée avec des lunettes de soleil.
Lorsque son mal s'aggrave, une partie de son corps se transforme en un énorme morceau de pierre, lequel se déplace sur son corps. Holy a commencé gribouiller sur elle-même pour conserver les informations importantes à portée de main. Elle a notamment griffonné une graduation sur elle-même pour mesurer le temps qu'il lui reste avant que le morceau de pierre en mouvement n'atteigne sa tête, ce qui lui fait perdre conscience.[1]
Palettes
Personnalité
Holy souffre de troubles mentaux d'origine incertaine. Elle est alors capable de prendre des gens pour des objets, par exemple elle prend une infirmière pour une paire de chaussures.[2] On découvre d'abord que ses troubles sont dû au fait que Holy manque une partie de son cerveau,[3] ce qui sera expliqué par le fait que l'Organisation Locacaca en avait fait un cobaye involontaire pour des tests sur les pouvoirs médicinaux du Locacaca, à tel point que des morceaux entiers de son corps sont pétrifiés. Elle est encore capable d'interagir avec une semblance de normalité, pouvant parler par exemple à Yasuho Hirose même si elle reste distraite et a du mal à écouter Yasuho. Par exemple, on la voie ignorer pendant un long instant Yasuho quand celle-ci explique qu'elle vient enquêter sur le fils de Holy, Yoshikage Kira.[4]
On découvre au fils de plusieurs flashbacks la dégradation graduelle de sa santé mentale. Lorsqu'elle avait sauvé Josefumi Kujo, Holy était encore normale.[5] Alors Yasuho avait 13 ans et qu'elle avait été hospitalisée, Holy montrait déjà des symptômes légers de délire, s'approchant de la jeune Yasuho sans crier gare et faisant des remarques qui en apparence étaient incohérentes (mais faisant sens d'un autre point de vue).[6] Au moment où Josefumi et Kira étaient en train de cultiver secrètement le Locacaca, Holy avait déjà du mal à faire la différence entre Josefumi et Kira mais pouvait le réaliser si on lui faisait la remarque. Alors elle pouvait partiellement reprendre ses esprits[7] Holy fait preuve d'un goût pour la lecture. Dans le passé, Holy pouvait lire et recommender des romans, recommandant à son fils un roman nommé La Rose de Versailles,[8] mais lorsqu'on la découvre pour la première fois dans JoJolion, elle en est réduite à lire des magazines adultes.[9] Peu après, sa santé et santé mentale se dégradent au point qu'elle essaie de manger ses propres doigts et semble ne plus pouvoir reconnaitre personne.[10]
Dans ses rares moments de conscience, Holy montre qu'elle est en fait cultivée, sage et perspicace. Alors une rencontre inconfortable avec Yasuho, Holy remarque seule le Stand Paisley Park dans l'ombre de Yasuho et elle devine que Yasuho va être un allié précieux pour son fils, disant que ceci était prédestiné.[11] Lorsqu'elle rencontre enfin Josuke, Holy est capable de révéler tout ce qu'elle sait sur l'organisation Locacaca, a la présence d'esprit pour l'amener au laboratoire secret de l'hôpital pour lui administrer une dose de Locacaca et traiter ses blessures, et donne à Josuke un indice crucial sur le moyen de combattre Satoru Akefu sans le poursuivre.[1]
Par le passé, on pouvait voir que Holy était un médecin dédié à son travail de sauver des gens, avec une attitude bienveillante. Elle est notamment responsable d'avoir sauvé Josefumi Kujo avec l'aide de son fils Yoshikage.[5] Alors qu'elle a perdu sa raison, Holy se montre toujours aimable dans ses conversations.
Pendant sa première apparition, Holy a démontré une capacité à précisément estimer des distances à l'oeil nu, une capacité similaire à celle de Josuke d'estimer des dimensions d'objets.[12]
Holy a une très grande estime pour son fils Yoshikage malgré le caractère et l'attitude froids de ce dernier.[13]
Pouvoirs
Stand
On sous-entend que Holy Joestar-Kira a un pouvoir Stand, car durant sa première apparition, elle est capable de voir Paisley Park dans l'ombre de Yasuho alors que celle-ci lui rend visite à l'Hôpital Universitaire TG. Elle semble connaître aussi les Stand car elle a immédiatement reconnue la nature de son Stand et a réalisé que Yasuho devait l'utiliser inconsciemment.[9]
Compétences Médicales
As a former ophthalmologist at T.H. Medical University Hospital and an associate professor at Morioh's T.G. University, Holy is presumably a recognized expert in the medical field and seasoned doctor of ocular treatment. In a flashback, she is portrayed as an emergency room practitioner who was capable of diagnosing Josefumi's condition and knew how to stabilize it through the use of her son's Stand ability.[5] She is also noted to have had some background in the Locacaca fruit having created a laboratory solely for researching it.[14]
Histoire
Passé
Born Holy Joestar, she is the daughter of Joseph Joestar and Suzi Q. She is also the mother of Yoshikage Kira, making this Kira a direct descendant of Johnny Joestar. Holy Joestar-Kira is revealed to have been an ophthalmologist who worked at the T.H. Medical University Hospital from 1998-2008 before becoming a guest professor at TG University.[15]
In the late 1990s, Holy was serving as an emergency room doctor when the young Josefumi Kujo was brought into the hospital after an accident that has left him with a possibly fatal blood clot. She asked her son to use his Stand Killer Queen to remove the blood clot, saving the young Josefumi's life. This would leave Josefumi indebted to the Kira family, leading to Yoshikage and Josefumi scheming together to steal a branch of the Locacaca Tree to possibly cure Holy of the mysterious Higashikata family Rock Disease, and ultimately to the creation of Josuke Higashikata from the bodies and minds of Yoshikage Kira and Josefumi Kujo.[16]
Holy created the hidden Locacaca lab at TG University Hospital. However, she failed in her research.[14] Holy witnessed the Locacaca Organization infiltrating the hospital and she began to suffer from memory losses and blackouts, gradually weakening over time. Nonetheless, Holy managed to learn a lot about the organization.[1] It is shown that already when Yasuho was 13, Holy was feeling the first symptoms of the Rock Disease. Holy met Yasuho after Yasuho performed a suicide attempt, and offered her cryptic advice about not overlooking things and only look inward.[17] She is currently a patient at the TG University Hospital, which is the reason she was not present to identify her son's corpse after he died.
"Paisley Park" et "Born This Way"
When Yasuho visits her, Holy is creeping up towards her on the ground and startles her, similar to Josuke in his introduction. Yasuho tries to ask Holy about Yoshikage Kira, but before she can get an answer, she is escorted out by a nurse and two Security Guards. As Yasuho is removed from the room, Holy pays special attention to her shadow, which had, unbeknownst to Yasuho, taken a different, Stand-like form. When Yasuho is brought back to the hospital, she sees a group of doctors talking to Holy, and examining her CAT scans which show parts of her internal organs and her brain missing with almost surgical precision, despite not having any scars from previous surgeries. This happens all while Holy is trying to use a nurse like a pair of boots and a magazine, showing that whatever has happened to her has given her a form of dementia.[18]
L'Aube des Higashikata
At the hospital, Josuke sees Holy, unconscious and strapped to her bed, and more worryingly, put into a dusty room in a neglected aisle of the hospital. He accosts a doctor, outraged by the living conditions of Holy. When the doctor asks him if he is a relative, Josuke confirms that he is Holy's son. At this answer, the doctor then explains that no one has paid her medical expenses since August which her insurances didn't cover. The doctor adds that Holy's condition took a turn for the worse as she began to hallucinate her fingers as food and ate six of them, forcing the doctors to strap her and sedate her. Finally, her treatment only delayed the progress of her illness, and until someone pays the fees amounting to 120,000 yen per night, the hospital won't resume her treatment. Observing Holy, Josuke is overcome by sadness, recognizing her as his mother and sorry for her state. Still crying, Josuke promises to the doctor that the fees will be paid. Josuke then promises himself to go find the Locacaca to cure her.
The Wonder of You (Ton Amour Miraculeux)
During her stay, Holy's illness worsened to the point that a great mass of rock is moving across her body, putting her in a coma whenever it reaches her brain. To calculate what time she had left between each coma, Holy has marked her entire body with grades and numbers to measure how close the rock is to her brain. When Josuke is brought to the hospital, Holy senses his arrival and wakes up to go look for him. Mistaking Josuke for her son, Holy brings Josuke to room A2 in the gynaecology department where the organization has kept vials of Locacaca 6251. Holy tells Josuke to stay away from Satoru Akefu but he remains determined to chase after him. Josuke's lips and nose are turned into stone and he almost suffocates but Holy manages to pour more medicine into his mouth through a hole. Before losing consciousness for good, Holy gives one last bit of advice: to not directly pursue Akefu but to make him do the pursuing. As she goes into a coma, Holy expresses her wish to see her son again.
Holy is brought to her room and at one point, Kei arrives to take care of her. As Yasuho Hirose calls Kei and tells her to find Josuke, Kei notices that Holy has preemptively written notes on herself that also tell Kei to go find Josuke and where he is.
After Wonder of U flees, Josuke walks over to Holy's room and takes a moment to think about her, Rai, and Kei.
Epilogues
After the defeat of Tooru resulting in no Locacaca remaining, Holy stays comatose in the hospital with the equivalent exchange now gone forever.
