Nós sempre teremos inimigos em algum lugar, mas... nós sempre venceremos. A família Higashikata sempre vence.
—Tsurugi Higashikata, JoJolion Chapter 91: The Wonder of You, Part 8

Tsurugi Higashikata (東方 つるぎ, Higashikata Tsurugi) é um aliado primário na oitava parte de JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, JoJolion. Tsurugi coopera com grupos diferentes durante o curso da história.

Ele é o filho de Jobin e Mitsuba Higashikata, e o membro mais jovem da família Higashikata. Criado como uma garota, o medo de Tsurugi da doença de pedra o leva a cooperar com Josuke Higashikata e Yasuho Hirose para encontrar uma possível cura. Tsurugi é um usuário de Stand cujo Paper Moon King permite com que ele transforme objetos em origami que manipular as habilidades sensoriais de seus oponentes com ilusões.

Aparência

borderless

Tsurugi é uma criança baixa com um porte um pouco musculoso. Ele tem um cabelo escuro na altura de seu pescoço em um estilo de cabelo chanel. Já que o primogênito de cada geração da família Higashikata tem que ser criado como uma garota para tentar espantar a doença de pedra, Tsurugi se transveste ao usar um vestido sem mangas com um padrão de bolinhas e um par de sapatos sem cadarços. A parte de baixo de seu vestido tem um padrão horizontal de grandes chapéus de samurai feitos de origami por volta dele e também tem babados abaixo disso. A frente de seus sapatos também tem chapéus de samurai de origami e no topo de sua cabeça há um grande sapo de origami.

Personalidade

A personalidade de Tsurugi é uma estranha mistura de infatilidade típica e uma sombriedade precoce.

Tsurugi é introduzido como um garoto brincalhão porém esquisito. Durante seu arco de introdução, ele faz uma pegadinha malvada em Yasuho e Josuke ao fazê-los não conseguir diferenciar pessoas com seu Stand Paper Moon King. Ele eventualmente se desculpa a Yasuho pela angústia que ele a fez passar.[1] Outras características similares são sua amizade rápida com o cão Iwasuke e seu amor por fazer trocadilhos. Tsurugi também é bastante libidinoso e mostra uma atração perturbadora por Yasuho, frequentemente a tocando e a lambendo inapropriadamente.[2][3][4] Isso tendo sido dito, Tsurugi também a vê como uma aliada valiosa, se não uma amiga. Enquanto o tempo da colheita da Locacaca se aproximava, ele tentou ligar para mandá-la sair por sua própria segurança, sabendo que seu pai mataria quaisquer invasores.[5]

No entanto, ele também mostra ser uma ameaça. Por exemplo ele não hesita em enviar Josuke até Yotsuyu Yagiyama para ser morto, afirmando que a vida de Josuke era um sacrífico para salvar a sua própria.[6] Quando ele foi perseguido por Aisho, Tsurugi não hesitou em enganar seu oponente a confundir um ônibus com seu pai, o matando.[7] Também é mostrado que Tsurugi é uma ovelha negra em sua escola, sendo alvo de bullying e não tendo amigos vistos até então.[8]

Devido à sua criação solitária e isolada, Tsurugi pode ser bastante introspectivo, muitas vezes pensando sobre as maneiras que sua doença iminente diferenciam ele das outras crianças, assim como a natureza geral de sua família. Ele também é surpreendentemente um bom juíz de caráter para sua idade. Por exemplo, ele admite que as tendências infantis de seu pai Jobin e obsessões por vários passatempos o deixam fácil de se manipular, e precisamente critica Yasuho por projetar seus próprios problemas de segurança em Josuke. Como parece, Tsurugi percebe que seu nível de maturidade é bastante incomum, o que às vezes sobe à sua cabeça, fazendo com que ele aja desdenhosamente ou de forma mandona quando tentando ajudar Yasuho conscientemente invocar seu Stand pela primeira vez, e desrespeitosamente responde as perguntas de sua mãe Mitsuba sober ter escondido algo importante ao sugerir que ela também está guardando muitos segredos da família.

Tsurugi demonstra um medo profundo de morrer por causa da doença de pedra e sua vontade de sobreviver a essa enfermidade comanda a maioria das suas ações durante a história. Já que ele rápido para trocar de lados para quem possa lhe garantir as melhores chances de obter uma cura, mesmo que seja um detrimento para os membros mais próximos de sua família, como se deixando ser manipulado por Yotsuyu Yagiyama quando oferecido a Locacaca,[9] e então se aliando com Josuke e Yasuho para encontrá-la[10] e então ficando do lado de seu pai para recuperar a fruta.[11] Tsurugi é mais apegado aos seus pais e seu avô Norisuke e é mais indiferente com os outros membros da família Higashikata.

Como uma criança, Tsurugi é bastante propenso a momentos de pânico e nervosismo quando diante de perigo iminente, seu Stand não tendo uma habilidade ofensiva e não tendo muito o que fazer em tais ocasiões.

Habilidades

Artigo principal: Paper Moon King

O Stand de Tsurugi é o Paper Moon King, permitindo que ele dê um grau de vida aos origami que ele cria. Esses origami mostram capacidades diferentes dependendo no tipo de animal ou objeto cuja forma eles assumem, semelhante ao Tubular Bells. Após eles tocarem em seu alvo, o alvo é sujeito a uma ilusão em que todas pessoas e/ou símbolos e textos parecem os mesmos.

História

Passado

Tsurugi nasceu da união entre Jobin e Mitsuba Higashikata. Como o filho mais velho de Jobin, Tsurugi foi destinado a sofrer da doença de pedra e foi criado como uma garota sua vida inteira. Ele parece se dar bem na família Higashikata. Ele estava presente durante a foto da família e foi introduzido Norisuke Higashikata IV.

Consciente da maldição de sua família, Tsurugi se preocupa com seu destino eventual. Logo antes de sua introdução, Tsurugi conhece o arquiteto Yotsuyu Yagiyama, que o mostra uma possível cura na forma de uma fruta desconhecida. Yotsuyu então persuade Tsurugi a ajudá-lo a matar Josuke em troca da cura.

JoJolion

Ilusão Paper Moon

Os origami de Tsurugi fazem Yasuho não conseguir distinguir rostos e escrituras

Tsurugi comes to the forefront when Yasuho encounters him after being taken to the Higashikata family's underground storeroom. After attempting to play with her and having taken her phone, she discovers that Tsurugi is male after some struggle, at which point he reveals that his family's first born always cross-dresses in order to ward off the "curse" that strikes them at age 11 where their bodies stiffen and turn to stone, similar to what happened to Rina Higashikata. Daunted, Yasuho leaves the storeroom, though not before Tsurugi activates his Stand ability on her after having touched her phone, which he transformed into an origami frog.

Yotsuyu approaches Tsurugi with a "cure"

Tsurugi continues his prank by also affecting Josuke but eventually cancels it and apologizes to Yasuho, leaving her to rest in the bunker.

Josuke later spots him bringing food to the bunker and follows him.

When Josuke and Norisuke are attacked by Yotsuyu Yagiyama's I Am a Rock, Tsurugi begs his grandfather to leave Josuke for dead, as he is cooperating with Yotsuyu. Tsurugi eventually tells them that he is afraid of the Rock Disease which will affect him, and that Yotsuyu showed him a cure in the form of a mysterious fruit, testing it on a dog.

After Yotsuyu is defeated and killed, Josuke confirms the existence of the fruit and Tsurugi adopts the dog Yotsuyu fed the fruit to, naming it Iwasuke.

Every Day Is a Summer Vacation

Yasuho & Tsurugi investigate the event recorder and find Jobin's link to the fruit

While Tsurugi is playing with his new dog, Josuke approaches him to enlist his help in interrogating Jobin, Tsurugi's father. Initially reluctant to go against a family member, Tsurugi is eventually swayed to Josuke's side by urgency and reveals to him that his father is obsessed with stag beetles, which will allow Josuke to uncover a weakness. While Josuke confronts Jobin, Tsurugi goes to Yasuho's house and asks her to help with her new Stand Paisley Park.

After Josuke wins Jobin's Lamborghini in a beetle fight and gives the key to Tsurugi, he and Yasuho secretly investigate the Lamborghini in order to discover Jobin's previous whereabouts. Paisley Park subsequently discovers that Jobin exchanged the fruit with a certain Aisho Dainenjiyama.

Doobie Wah

Yasuho proceeds to investigate Aisho. Observing the place where Jobin met the man from a rooftop, Yasuho and Tsurugi uncover a link between Aisho, who is a security guard at the stadium, and Yotsuyu, who oversaw the renovation of the stadium. They see Aisho at the same place heading to a nearby park and decide to tail him with Yasuho's phone folded into a frog. They witness a man who, after eating the fruit, regrows his missing legs while his eyes shatter into stone. As the phone is sent investigating the remains of the fruit, it is spotted by Aisho who crushes it under his feet. Affected by the damage, Yasuho and Tsurugi are nearly killed, but Aisho stops his attack when he kicks the phone away and attempts to phone Yotsuyu. Startled by the lack of answer, Aisho attempts to crush the phone again, but is distracted by a banana peel Paisley Park placed under his feet, allowing Tsurugi to use his Paper Moon King. Aisho is unable to recognize the phone and it subsequently escapes.

Yasuho & Tsurugi chased by Doobie Wah!

Having checked Aisho's access card, Yasuho determines that the fruit comes from inside the stadium. As they both go down the stairs, they are assailed by Aisho's Stand Doobie Wah! hiding in a deadly wind vortex. Escaping the building by a window, they realize that Doobie Wah! is materializing via their breath, forcing them not to breathe as they try to flee. The two try to take a bus away from the enemy Stand but it still materialized out of their breath and attacks them. Yasuho and Tsurugi leave the bus near the Motoyagura train station, and Tsurugi releases a car origami. Soon after, Aisho and Jobin meet a cornered Yasuho and Tsurugi. Recognizing Jobin's son, Aisho demands that Jobin allows him to kill him, but Jobin remains silent. The car origami Tsurugi released comes back to his hand, and Tsurugi explains that he made Aisho confuse any bus with his father. When the bus starts up, it runs over the confused Aisho who is killed and breaks down into dust.

The next day, Tsurugi and Yasuho meet with Josuke, but Tsurugi decides to leave the two alone. Although he is seen at Yasuho's home, Tsurugi lays low for a while

Ozon Baby's Pressure

Jobin & Tsurugi win the Locacaca branch

Tsurugi decides to confronts his father Jobin about the latter's involvement with the Rock Humans. Before long, Tsurugi, Jobin and Iwasuke feel the attack of Ozon Baby, an enemy Stand Jobin has planted inside the family orchard. Trying to escape out of the shed they were in, Tsurugi meets Ozon Baby itself and bears the full brunt of its power, suffering a debilitating decompression sickness. He almost dies but Jobin manages to take him to safety and revive him.

Tsurugi later uses Paper Moon King to make Poor Tom see a pear-tree branch as the Locacaca branch. After Poor Tom is killed, Norisuke talks with Tsurugi about them losing the branch, but unbeknownst to Norisuke, Tsurugi had used Paper Moon King on him to disguise Jobin. It is then revealed that Jobin and Tsurugi had taken the Locacaca branch.

The Wonder of You (Your Miraculous Love)

Tsurugi's Rock Disease manifests itself

Before the fruit can be harvested, Ojiro Sasame confronts Tsurugi and tells him that he knows about the Locacaca Organization and his father Jobin Higashikata's involvement in their operation. Threatening to denounce Jobin unless Tsurugi lets him meet the father, Ojiro also stealthily puts Tsurugi's hand under his control. Fleeing from Ojiro, Tsurugi inadvertently leaks the location of the Locacaca because he's forced to hold a phone and send photos and videos to Ojiro. Ojiro manages to place his mark on Jobin's hands, cornering him. Jobin is forced to relinquish the Locacaca but Tsurugi tricks Ojiro with Paper Moon King into thinking the glasses shards on the frame of a broken windows are bigger than they really are; Ojiro makes Jobin close the broken window on himself and Tsurugi, but the little shards only hurt a bit while Ojiro thinks that the Higashikata are dead. Ojiro does steal the Locacaca but is baited into taking bank notes charged with heat from Speed King and dies. Jobin subsequently retrieves the Locacaca and also kills Makorin.

Tsurugi's disease eventually sets in and half of his body is turned into an origami. Bedridden, Tsurugi is eventually contacted by Yasuho Hirose's Paisley Park, hiding in a mobile phone near him. He tells her to leave but can only witness Jobin taking the phone and tossing it into the toilets in an attempt to drown Yasuho alongside her Stand. His condition worsens by the minute and by the time Jobin attacks his father Norisuke, Tsurugi's body is almost taken over by the Rock Disease. The head doctor seemingly openly manifests himself and causes Jobin to succumb to a dramatic blood loss, letting the potted Locacaca roll towards the door to the garage.

Tsurugi is cured of the Rock Disease

Soon, Tooru infiltrates the Higashikata residence to retrieve the Locacaca plant from Yasuho. While unconscious, Tsurugi, along with his mother Mitsuba, Hato, and Daiya, are caught along Wonder of U's calamity as the plane door flying towards Yasuho lands inside the house. When Kaato arrives in the Higashikata household, she stores Tsurugi's body in between her cards and uses him to perform an equivalent exchange with Tooru. Kaato reveals that a branch of the Locacaca plant had been grafted and kept in between Space Trucking's cards. The sap of the branch drops on Tooru and Tsurugi, initiating the exchange, while Wonder of U attacks Kaato. The exchange is successful - Tooru completely disintegrates into the air and Tsurugi recovers, although Kaato is revealed to have been stabbed during when she crushed the branch due to Wonder of U's ability. With the curse broken, a recovered Tsurugi attends to Norisuke. He notes that Jobin ensured that his burns from Speed King were minor. Meanwhile, an ambulance arrives in the estate.

Aftermath

Days later, the Higashikata family go to the Higashikata Fruit Parlor to order a cake as a celebration for Norisuke's discharge the next day, as well as a new beginning in the Higashikata family history. Daiya invites Josuke and Yasuho who have been walking nearby. While choosing a cake made by the Higashikata parlor, everyone breaks down into tears, including Daiya, Hato, Mitsuba, and Joshu. Tsurugi then insists Josuke to choose a cake. With the family reunited once again, Yasuho Hirose sheds a tear before exiting the room.

  • Stand abilities. They are a reflection of the shape and state of one's heart. It is the power of the heart that controls it. And they are normally kept deep within the heart. Like hiding the underwear you have on, even if you know about them, their existence never appears on the surface. They are implicit and are never brought up in conversation. Even among families that live together. Even in front of those you love. But occasionally, there are changes in the heart. The heart, along with a Stand ability, feels things like fatigue and age as time goes on. Sometimes, when once accidentally steps in the wrong place, something that one had meant to keep shut deep inside them will boil over like lave from a volcano. A Stand is a form of energy. When that happens, no matter how desperately you try to stop it, you won't be able to. You won't be able to control it until it stops at its destination.
    —Tsurugi Higashikata, JoJolion Chapter 83: The New Locacaca

Curiosidades

  • Tsurugi's name possibly refers to the 'Sword' suit in playing cards, which is sometimes used instead of the 'Spades' or 'Pikes'. This continues the naming convention of the Higashikata family, in which the female members are named after playing card suits. Tsurugi, despite being male, was raised as a female, and as such is named using the tradition. As well as this, him being named after 'Sword' instead of 'Spade' may be in reference to him not fitting the tradition properly, with him being male; as such, his name doesn't follow the French suits as the others do.
  • Tsurugi's age is notably inconsistent, changing three times during the run of JoJolion. He initially appears as a two-year old in the Ultra Jump release of JJL Chapter 7, but was corrected to nine years old in the volume release. By the Wonder Of You arc, he has turned 10,[12] leading to the onset of the Rock Disease. However, in Chapter 107, Jobin states in a flashback that Tsurugi is now 11, despite the scene occurring at some point prior to the Wonder of You arc.
