“
Głupcy! Czy nie chcecie podbić słońca?! Czy nie chcecie rządzić wszystkimi? Czy nie chcecie się niczego nie bać?! (太陽を克服したいと思わないのかッ！何者をも支配したいと思わないのかッ！あらゆる恐怖をなくしたいと思わないのかッ！)
Kars jest przywódcą Ludzi z Filaru i projektantem Kamiennej Maski. Jego celem jest dalsza ewolucja, aby stać się odpornym na promienie słoneczne, a zatem szuka Czerwonego Kamienia Aja aby wzmocnić swoje maski, walcząc z użytkownikami Fali o jego posiadanie.
Jako twórca Kamiennych Masek i wampirów, Kars jest jedną z bardziej wpływowych postaci w serii, a jego wynalazek ma daleko idące reperkusje dla wielu głównych postaci, takich jak Dio Brando, rodzinę Joestar i rodzinę Zeppeli.
Kars jest wysokim, bardzo dobrze zbudowanym mężczyzną z długimi, ciemnymi, falującymi włosami, które trzyma pod ciemnym, ciasnym nakryciem głowy (zdejmując je na znak honoru lub agresji). Trzy małe spiczaste rogi wyrastają z jego głowy i nosi mały diadem z jednym klejnotem osadzonym w nim. Projektując Karsa i jego towarzyszy, Araki czerpał inspiracje z rzymskich posągów, egipskich sfinksów i japońskich posągów Nio, aby podkreślić ich piękno jako boskich postaci.[1]
Poza tym jest minimalnie ubrany, nosi wysokie buty, ochraniacze na przedramiona, stringi i powłóczystą przepaskę na biodrach. Podczas ataku wytwarza długie, połyskujące ostrza z przedramion i nóg.
Kars jest jedynym, który nosi turban, aby pokazać swoją najwyższą moc i inteligencję jako król grupy Ludzi z Filaru. Jednak Araki uczynił go nagim od pasa w górę, aby kontrastować z jego inteligencją.[1]
W Szwajcarii Kars zakłada fedorę i długi płaszcz, aby wyglądać mniej wyraźnie publicznie.

Nie mam żadnego romantycznego ducha, ani nie chcę zostać wojownikiem jak Wamuu... ponieważ metoda nie jest ważna. Liczy się tylko to... jest zdobycie ostatecznego zwycięstwa!
”
—Kars
Kars jest inteligentny, bezwzględny i zdeterminowany w swoim poświęceniu, aby zdobyć Czerwony Kamień Aja. Mówiono, że był geniuszem wśród Ludzi z Filaru, będąc oryginalnym twórcą Kamiennej Maski.
Początkowo wydaje się być najbardziej powściągliwym i rzeczowym Człowiekiem z Filaru, rzadko się uśmiecha i często przypomina Wamuu i Esidisi o ich celu.[2] Kars jest całkowicie oddany zdobyciu Czerwonego Kamienia Aja i depcze każdego, kto stanie mu na drodze, bez względu na metodę. Chociaż bawi się początkowym wyzwaniem Josepha, a później Lisy Lisy. W umyśle Karsa liczy się tylko ostateczne zwycięstwo. Nadal ma pewien poziom szacunku dla odwagi, ale ostatecznie jego filozofią jest nigdy nie pozostawiać niczego przypadkowi.[3] Łamie słowo o walce o Kamień fair and square, oszukuje, aby pokonać Lisę Lisę i okazuje się, że zabija dzieci, przewidując ich zemstę.[4] Chociaż poprzysięga pomścić swoich towarzyszy, odkrył, że duch wojownika Wamuu jest słabością. Kars będzie walczył o pamięć swojego towarzysza, ale jego priorytetem zawsze będzie zdobycie absolutnej władzy za wszelką cenę.[5]
Kars uznaje tymczasowe zwycięstwo JoJo i odchodzi
Kars jest spostrzegawczy, metodyczny i szczyci się niesamowitą inteligencją przyzwyczajoną do podstępów. Jego pierwsza bitwa z Josephem pokazuje wielką nieustępliwość w próbach zdobycia Kamienia, gdy Człowiek z Filaru spokojnie odpowiada na każdą sztuczkę Josepha własnymi ruchami.[6] Niewzruszony niepowodzeniami, takimi jak ta, gdy spokojnie zaakceptował, że Józef ukradł mu sprzed nosa Kamień,[7] będzie nieustępliwie walczył o zwycięstwo w najgorszej sytuacji. Dopiero gdy znajdzie się w kosmosie, niezdolny do poruszania się pomimo wielokrotnych prób i oddalający się od Ziemi, traci opanowanie i nadzieję.[8] Niemniej jednak jego obsesja na punkcie Kamienia Aja jest słabością łatwą do wykorzystania, ponieważ Kars woli nie ryzykować jego utraty. W ten sposób został użyty jako tarcza i dźwignia przez jego wrogów z łatwością.[7][9]
Kiedy jego żądza krwi wybucha, Kars często oblizuje swoje ostrze lub usta
Pomimo swojej surowej, bezsensownej powierzchowności, Kars ma morderczą i sadystyczną naturę. Stwierdził, że życie bez wroga jest nudne[2] i pokazał, że od czasu do czasu lubi walki. Jednak tak naprawdę czerpie przyjemność tylko z wyrządzania krzywdy i słuchania krzyków swoich ofiar.[10] Kars cieszy się z desperacji i często oblizuje usta w oczekiwaniu na ich śmierć. Kars również wydaje się szyderczo uprzejmy, ponieważ zaoferował Lisie Lisie truciznę, aby umrzeć na własnych warunkach, zamiast walczyć z nim.[11] Tendencje te stają się bardziej wyraźne, gdy osiąga swoją ostateczną formę i jest postrzegany jako całkowicie cieszący się swoim statusem najpotężniejszej formy życia na Ziemi.[12]
Rozgniewany, że jego ludzie nie podzielają jego ambicji
Kars reveals himself to be a power-hungry Pillar Man, fixated on controlling the full potential of his body and the idea of resting "at the top".[4] When he discovered that the Pillar Men's brains held untapped potential, much like humans, Kars wanted to control it. That obsession made him build the Stone Masks to unlock his hidden abilities; when that failed to meet his expectations, he sought out the Red Stone of Aja to complete his transformation into an Ultimate Thing. He was enraged when the rest of his tribe refused to "conquer the sun" as he wished, believing that they should use their innate power to the fullest and rule over all life; however, he either ignored or failed to consider the fact that the increased hunger brought on by the Stone Mask's power would cause his race to exterminate all life on Earth.[13] When Kars transforms into Ultimate Thing, he is enamored by the sun, brazenly standing in its light and prided with the conquest of his only natural foe.[14]
Kars apologizes to Wamuu for stepping on his shadow
Kars keeps an ambiguous relationship toward those around him. On one hand, he considered Santana to be nothing but a simple guard dog,[15] and slaughtered the rest of his race (including his parents) without hesitation or remorse.[13] On the other hand, he expresses himself to care deeply for Esidisi and Wamuu,[16] repeatedly vowing to achieve his goals and kill Joseph Joestar to honor and avenge their sacrifices in ensuring his success.[15][12] Kars also seems to have a certain respect for nature and animals; he caused a drunk driver who nearly hit a puppy to get into an accident and die,[17] and he deliberately complicated an otherwise-simple landing to avoid falling on a flower.[7] However, he does later attack a squirrel when testing his Ultimate Form's abilities,[12] and is said to have threatened an entire ecosystem fueling his Stone Masks. Ultimately, Kars is capable of affection and forming bonds with others, but those affections always come second to his goals.
Kars looks down on machines, sneering at the cyborg technology Rudol von Stroheim demonstrates and considering it inferior.[15] Moreover, he considers his Vampire grunts to be worthless pawns, unmoved if they are victimized or slain, and willing to execute them himself should they prove annoying to him.[4]
Kars's power is that of light; he is able to produce bladed appendages from his arms and legs and use these to reflect blinding light toward his enemies. The light comes from the tiny, shark teeth-like claws running along the edge of the blade much like a chainsaw. It is from the reflections of these claws that gives Kars's Light Blades (輝彩滑刀, Kisai Kattō, lit. "Gleam Coloring Slide Blades") their shining intensity. In this mode, Kars's blades are sharp enough to cut through most objects, including an automobile and several bullets at blinding speeds.
Bodily Manipulation
As with the other Pillar Men, Kars has the same body manipulation capabilities shared by his companions.
As the Ultimate Thing
Ultimate Thing, lit. "Ultimate Life Form"(究極生命体Arutimetto Shingu)
As the Ultimate Thing, Kars acquires multiple abilities and skills:
Superhuman Intelligence: Kars is an extremely intelligent and cunning individual, even by the high standards of his species. He was the one who created the Stone Mask, studying the Pillar Men's brains to unlock untapped power. In battle, Kars is methodical and observant, able to analyze the enemy's plan and plan accordingly with cunning and ruthlessness. Kars has also mastered his godly powers quickly, using the power of Earth's fauna and even its most obscure properties to his advantage. In every setback, Kars manages to quickly find a counter or a way to exploit it and reverse the situation.
Superhuman Senses: Kars can sense the heat and air pressure around him by forming antennae. His vision is akin to an astronomical telescope, and he is able to hear anything from whale calls to bat screams.
Superhuman Strength: Kars's strength is 900 kg/cm2.
Regeneration: Kars can heal any wound in a short period of time.
Immortality: Kars is invincible, immortal, and nigh indestructible. He does not age, is self-sustaining, and is described as more beautiful than a Greek sculpture.
Body Manipulation: As the Ultimate Thing, Kars' body contains the DNA of every organism to ever live on the Earth. He can manipulate his entire body on a cellular level to gain the traits of any life-form, such as bird-like wings that enable him to fly. He can even detach parts of himself and transform them into separate organisms that act independently of himself, such as turning his hand into a flesh-eating squirrel or turning his feathers into armadillo-scale projectiles that morph into piranhas and octopus tentacles to bring down Joseph's plane.
Reactive Evolution: Kars can also alter his body to withstand extreme conditions, as seen when he evolved a continuous layer of inorganic porous material to survive being submerged in magma.
In his Ultimate Form, Kars is able to use the Ripple, but at a level that is hundreds of times stronger than Joseph's. According to Stroheim, Kars's Ripple is comparable to the intensity of the Sun itself,[13] and it can literally melt and vaporize human flesh on contact.
In the novel JORGE JOESTAR, Kars expresses a higher skill of biology manipulation of not only himself but other beings:
Kars and his other versions have complete control over the form of their bodies. His 36 alternate universe versions form themselves into The Eyed Balloon.[18]
Kars also uses this ability to convert the 36 other versions of himself into a fuel for the Giotto Spaceship, which Kars uses to return to Earth.[18]
Kars is able to make his biology compatible with electronic devices, as after observing some visual data, he is able to plug himself into a device and project the information. He does this by producing a light from his mouth, and a cellophane-like membrane in between his upper and lower jaw, turning his mouth into a functioning projector.[19]
He can manipulate the bodies of humans by tweaking their brains, similar to the functions of the Stone Mask. By inserting his finger into a person's brain, he can change their body's electric signals, blood flow, bones, organs, skin, etc. Kars uses this ability to break Jorge Joestar's limbs before reforming them to make him 20cm taller, all with minimal pain. Kars also suggests that he can make wings grow from Jorge's back with this same technique.[19]
Relacje
Sojusznicy
Esidisi: Kars appeared to care for his comrade, being the only Pillar Men of his generation to agree with his ideals. He trusted him to investigate a lead on the Red Stone of Aja alone, and immediately went to Switzerland himself when he realized that something must have happened to Esidisi. Upon learning that Joseph had killed Esidisi in order to keep him from the stone, Kars vowed to kill him after completing his primary objective - and he meant it, as the first thing he did after testing his Ultimate abilities was to attack Joseph.
Wamuu: Along with Santana, Kars raised him along with Esidisi. While Kars respected Wamuu's ability as a fighting genius, he showed no respect for his honor and thought he was too pure to be a warrior. Nonetheless, he seemed to care for Wamuu to some extent, as he immediately cut down a group of his own minions for mocking Wamuu after the latter's demise and vowed to avenge his death along with Esidisi's by killing Joseph.
Santana: Along with Wamuu, Kars raised him along with Esidisi. In comparison to Wamuu, however, Kars saw Santana as guard dog and left him behind when he couldn't keep up with them.
Wrogowie
Joseph Joestar: As the man who created the stone masks, Kars is essentially responsible for Dio Brando's transformation and the death of Jonathan Joestar. Initially, Kars was just one of the Pillar Men to defeat in Joseph's eyes, but after Joseph killed Esidisi, Kars voiced a deep-seated hatred for the human above all Ripple users. Kars would win Joseph's ire as well by revealing how dishonorable he is compared to the others. It was only once Kars became the Ultimate Thing that he indulged himself in attacking Joseph who made great efforts in order to defeat him. Kars responded by cutting off Joseph's arm and it ended in Joseph unintentionally sending Kars out into space, but not before mocking him one last time.
Foolish... we are immortal, it's lonely without an enemy. Life is only worthwhile with an opponent. I understand your feelings, but our first objective is to gain the power of the Red Stone of Aja. Don't forget that you two!
Heh! A one-on-one fight... ludicrous! My only goal is the Red Stone! To become the 'Ultimate Thing'! I don't have any romantic spirit, nor do I want to become a warrior like Wamuu, because the method isn't important, all that counts is to get the final victory!
All that matters is that I get a hold of the Red Stone. Move your pieces one at a time on the board, making them effortlessly reduce the risks to a minimum! Chance has nothing to do with it! That's a "true fight"!!
Hehehehe HAHAHAHAHA! The 'Ultimate Thing'! It is the one gathering all the power... from the living world, all the lives... And this beauty! How gorgeous! I've never seen anything as wonderful as this! Finally!! The sun... Finally, I have tamed the sun!!
Heh heh heh. Humans are a fascinating species. They seem like they are constantly striving to become something else, but they resist actual change. Most likely they simply enjoy imagining things. That is what I like most about the human race. They are the only ones who imagine, who create. Who make stories. When I was living underground I gathered the stories human had written, and read them. Humans are the only species that enjoy things that happen to others of their kind. At first I had no idea how they were enjoying it. Our brains had no concept of emotional investment, of putting ourselves in other's shoes. It wasn't easy to do. My race was complete as it was, and satisfied with that. And as a result they lacked ambition, made no progress of any kind, and lived a life of stagnation. But there's a difference between being actually sufficient and simply not knowing that something is insufficient. I came to understand that we weren't perfect. We just hadn't noticed that we weren't. We lacked even the ability to realize this fact because we had never compared ourselves to anyone else. Because we expected nothing from anyone else, and made do entirely with what we already had. But I noticed. Reading human writings and learning to enjoy them sent new electric impulses through my mind. I knew then that we had never stopped to think about our own potential. We were certain our species was the pinnacle of all things, and thus we had stopped progressing. This was the first time I ever felt dissatisfied. The first time I had ever questioned myself. That quickly let to frustration, to anger. And that frustration and anger pleased me. It was what you would call a eureka moment. I was furious with myself, and that was cause for celebration. It was proof that I, too, had potential.
Mere moments ago I intended to take the sole chance I had of killing myself! But I came to understand! Why I ran across the back side of Mars for so long! And why, despite the stifling feelings boiling up inside, I am equally filled with joy! My flesh may not be able to die, but my life is as fragile as it was before, and can be snuffed out so easily! You, who are another 'me'! You are not special! You share the same sadness I feel! But that is a treasure! Rejoice, 'Kars'! You, too, can suffer!"
Araki compares the roles of the Pillar Men to the Japanese historical drama Mito Komon. Kars is similar to the protagonist Mito Komon, a prominent daimyo in the early Edo period. Esidisi and Wamuu are similar to his retainers, Suke-san and Kaku-san, respectively. Araki was inspired by their hierarchy when drawing their poses.[1]
Araki drew the final scene of Kars with the intention of him never returning, stating that unless Kars developed a compass ability or crash-landed on another civilization, he'll remain in space forever.[1]
