Boingo (ボインゴ) est un antagoniste secondaire figurant dans la troisième partie de JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Stardust Crusaders. Il est introduit dans l'arc "'Khnum' Oingo et 'Thoth Boingo", puis réapparait dans l'arc "Hol Horse et Boingo". Boingo apparait aussi en tant qu'allié dans le spin-off Crazy D Demonic Heartbreak et le roman du spin-off Crazy Heartbreakers.
Boingo est un petit garçon manieur de Stand et l'un des 9 Dieux Glorieux d'Egypte. Lui et son frère Oingo essaient d'assassiner le Groupe Joestar à Assouan en Egypte. Boingo réapparait plus tard, travaillant avec Hol Horse pour réessayer de tuer les héros au Caire.
Boingo est un jeune garçon de carrure moyenne, mais qui est assez petit, n'arrivant qu'aux genoux de son grand frère Oingo (qui lui est de taille adulte). Il a une bouche inhabituellement large, et possède une grande touffe de cheveux bouclés qu'il porte serré dans une casquette sans haut, ce qui lui cause quelques mèches libres. Il a un t-shirt clair sous un gilet et un manteau, et un pantalon sous un short large, et des chaussures simples.
Dans le spin-off Crazy D Demonic Heartbreak, situé en l'an 1999, Boingo a conservé sa tenue, et est resté petit. Il a une barbe de quelques jours.
Boingo est un petit garçon craintif et timide.
Boingo est un garçon très timide et craintif, préférant un role de support dans ses partenariats avec d'autres servants de DIO. Il utilise son Thoth pour guider son grand frère Oingo puis Hol Horse vers la bonne voie sur la façon d'assassiner leurs cibles, et ensuite se cache et observe comment la situation se déroule. Sa passivité est justifiée sachant que Boingo est un petit garçon et que son Stand n'a aucune possibilité offensive. Etant assez timide, Boingo n'est comfortable qu'auprès de son grand frère Boingo, duquel il est proche. Après ses déboires avec le Groupe Joestar, Boingo semble avoir grandi spirituellement et se promet d'être plus brave, mais c'est alors qu'Iggy l'attaque. Boingo régresse dans sa timidité. Boingo bégaie aussi, ce qui renforce l'impression de timidité qu'il donne.
Malgré sa crainte, Boingo a une confiance absolue envers le pouvoir de son Stand, Thoth. Il dit régulièrement que les prédictions de Thoth son tout le temps correct, mais si elles paraissent absurdes.
En tant que l'un des serviteurs de DIO, Boingo exhibe des signes de malveillance. Par exemple, il sourit et même rit d'un rire étrange quand Thoth prédit que les héros vont mourir, et il participe de plein gré lorsque son frère vole quelqu'un. Durant sa dernière apparition, Boingo dit qu'il veut changer et essayer d'utiliser son pouvoir pour le bien d'autrui pour qu'on les apprécient plus, mais ce développement est interrompu quand Iggy l'attaque.
Boingo et son frère Oingo sont très proches l'un de l'autre, étant des partenaires et s'appuyant l'un sur l'autre pour essayer d'assassiner les héros. Il est dit que Boingo se sent seul après qu'il soit séparé de son frère, mais il accepte de coopérer avec Hol Horse pour pouvoir venger son frère.
Dans le spin-off Crazy D Demonic Heartbreak dix ans après les évènements de Stardust Crusaders, Boingo est resté un homme timide et craintif. Il est ami avecMariah, sachant qu'elle attaque Hol Horse pour venger Boingo de la fois où Hol Horse l'avait kidnappé. En même temps, Boingo n'aime pas Hol Horse et veut que Hol Horse ne le contacte plus après avoir retrouvé Pet Sounds.[3] Boingo est aussi encore terrorisé par la mémoire de DIO et le simple fait de se souvenir de DIO lui donne des frissons.[4]
Thoth est une bande dessinée au style de dessin eccentrique et à la narration enfantine. Lorsqu'on le consulte, Thoth prédit le futur proche avec une précision de 100%, même si les évènements dépeints sont étranges.
Boingo apparait pour la première fois en Egypte, près du temple d'Abou Simbel. Il est en train de lire sa bande dessinée Thoth lorsqu'un touriste, un mangaka cherchant l'inspiration, l'aborde et s'intéresse à Thoth. Cependant, Oingo survient et chasse le touriste, disant à Boingo de ne pas parler à des inconnus. Les frères s'apprêtent à prendre le bus pour Assouan, mais Boingo lui montre Thoth, montrant la mort du touriste. Devinant que le bus va avoir un accident, Oingo et Boingo attendent le prochain. Sur le chemin d'Assouan, Boingo consulte son Stand et voit que les héros vont boire du thé empoisonné. Oingo se charge alors d'assommer un barman quelconque et de prendre sa place pour empoisonner Jotaro, Joseph et Polnareff qui approchent. Pendant ce temps-là, Boingo se cache dans l'arrière-boutique. Les héros choisissent de boire dans le café d'Oingo.
Au début, les héros commandent du thé comme prévu, mais Joseph préfère alors commander des bouteilles de cola pour tout le monde, afin de ne pas être empoisonné. Cependant, les circonstances conspirent pour que les héros commandent du thé : en effet, le frigo est en panne et le cola est tiède, tandis qu'une cigarette a démarré un feu dans le café voisin; enfin, Polnareff dit qu'il serait improbable que des ennemis se tiennent en embuscade dans un café qu'ils ont choisi au hasard. Oingo peut leur servir du thé, mais Iggy cause un scandale en volant un gâteau et les héros recrachent leur boisson et partent précipitamment pour poursuivre le chien. Oingo et Boingo ont raté leur première tentative d'assassinat. Frustré, Oingo suit une autre des prophéties de Thoth et cogne un passant, qui laisse tomber son portefeuille, ce qui console les deux frères.
C'est alors que Thoth prédit que Jotaro va mourir d'une bombe déguisée en orange. Oingo cache donc une bombe dans une peau d'orange et essaie de la mettre dans la voiture des héros, mais c'est alors que Joseph et Polnareff le surprennent. Oingo est forcé de se déguiser en Jotaro avec le pouvoir de Khnum et part avec les héros. Il semblerait que le Jotaro dans la bande dessinée pourrait être Oingo. En fin de compte, c'est Oingo, déguisé en Jotaro, qui est grièvement blessé par la bombe. Boingo le retrouve et jure de le venger, ce qui émeut Oingo. Cependant, l'homme qu'ils avaient volé tout à l'heure revient avec une bande de brutes pour se venger. Oingo et Boingo sont tabassées et envoyés à l'hôpital.
Hol Horse va à Assouan et va kidnapper Boingo, le ramenant au Caire caché dans une valise. Bien que Boingo a peur, Hol Horse le convainc de faire équipe avec lui pour venger Oingo. Cependant, Boingo se cache sous une caisse tellement il n'a pas confiance en Hol Horse. Hol Horse consulte Thoth mais est étonné par la prédiction. Il va donner un coup de pied à une femme qui va lui offrir un bijou par reconnaissance. Hol Horse a du mal à croire qu'il puisse blesser une femme, et qu'elle va le récompenser, mais s'exécute. Il sauve la femme d'un scorpion mortel, et elle lui donne alors un bijou pour lui avoir sauvé la vie. Hol Horse est alors convaincu du pouvoir de Thoth.
Hol Horse et Boingo traquent le Groupe Joestar dans les rues du Caire. Caché dans un coin, Hol Horse est sceptique car Thoth montre qu'il va devoir mettre ses doigts dans le nez de Polnareff et que les héros vont être blessés. Polnareff surprend Hol Horse et le coince contre un mur. Boingo se cache mais Polnareff remarque sa présence. Il est distrait, ce qui permet à Hol Horse de mettre ses doigts dans le nez de Polnareff. Cependant, les autres héros approchent. Hol Horse est pris, mais une voiture fonce alors sur les héros, ce qui les sonnent. Pendant ce temps-là, Hol Horse et Boingo se cachent derrière un coin.
Hol Horse voit l'opportunité et consulte alors Thoth, qui montre que si Hol Horse tire dans un tuyau, à midi, la tête de Jotaro sera transpercé de balles. En effet, Jotaro se tient prêt d'un tuyau, observant les environs. Hol Horse parvient difficilement à convaincre des plombiers de dégager un tuyau pour tirer dedans, mais à la surprise de tous, Polnareff éternue sur Jotaro (car Hol Horse lui a chatouillé les narines), qui se penche en arrière par dégoût. Les balles manquent Jotaro et volent au loin. Consterné, Hol Horse prend Thoth et se rend compte que sa montre était en avance. Alors que les douze coups de midi sonnent dans un clocher, les balles ricochent et percent Thoth pour aller voler vers la face de Hol Horse, qui est mis hors-combat.
Seul, Boingo pense à changer de voie et décide d'utiliser son pouvoir pour le bien d'autrui. Devenant aussi plus brave, il donne un coup de pied dans la caisse, mais elle atterit sur Iggy, qui se met en colère et attaque Boingo. Boingo devient alors encore plus introverti, et son livre déclare que s'il était aussi facile de changer, alors il n'y aurait pas de mauvaises personnes.
Un employé de la Shueisha en vacances en Egypte rencontre Boingo, qui lui donne la bande dessinée "The Oingo Boingo Brothers' Great Adventure" (ou "La Grande Aventure des frères Oingo et Boingo"), photographiant et publiant le livre comme tel. Rohan Kishibe complimentera le livre, bien qu'il pense toujours être le meilleur mangaka.
It is shown that after Boingo and Hol Horse were defeated and were brought to the hospital, the both of them woke up the evening DIO fought Jotaro. Assuming that DIO must be preoccupied with fighting the Joestar Group, they took the chance to run away before DIO could kill them next for their failures. Running on the streets of Cairo, Hol Horse and Boingo saw Hierophant Green's Emerald Splash fire at a clock and they witnessed Kakyoin's last moments.[5]
After DIO's defeat, the Speedwagon Foundation informed Boingo and DIO's other agents about all his evil deeds and left them be. Ten years after the events of Stardust Crusaders, Boingo still remains with Oingo. He hasn't grown much taller since then, but now has a stubble on his chin. By March 1999, Oingo and Boingo have been freeloading at Mariah and Kenny G.'s house. Boingo's Tohth predicts that he'll have to cooperate with Hol Horse again to find a parrot, though he still detests the cowboy.
Boingo meets Hol Horse at a hideout and though he's reluctantly resigned himself to Tohth's prediction, Boingo asks Hol Horse to never get involved with him afterwards, though Hol Horse is mostly confused. Boingo and Hol Horse consult Tohth to divine their path and they see that they have to go to Morioh, Japan. Once they arrive, Boingo drops Tohth and ends up getting lost searching for it. Ryoko Kakyoin finds his comic book laying on the ground.[3]
Boingo later goes to Budogaoka Police Station. As he hides under a desk, Ryohei Higashikata tries reaching out to him. Ryohei asks how he got lost and Boingo mumbles in response, though Ryohei manages to understand him. Ryohei learns about what happened to Boingo so far as soon as he arrived in Japan. Boingo thinks back to the last pages he read in Tohth. His Stand thanked him for reading and being the comic's number one fan, but as fate foretold, he must part ways with the book for some time. Tohth also mentioned that Boingo has to throw away the book himself after gaining the confidence to graduate from being DIO's underling. Boingo says that although he definitely didn't throw it away himself, the book's predictions can't change. He also tells Ryohei that the book isn't really his and he's just looking after it. Ryohei asks his co-worker, Karaiya, to get Boingo back to his hotel safely in case Hol Horse is looking for him there.[6]
Once at the hotel, Boingo ponders on his situation, reminiscing his childhood and how Tohth has been with him as long as he can remember. Even if his father sold it for drinking money, the book would reappear by his side. Although DIO and Enya thought of it as his Stand ability, Boingo actually thinks that there is a "Tohth" in this world who chose him to watch over this book. Boingo expects the book to return to him, but he's still incredibly nervous. Even after Tohth told him that he "graduated from being DIO's underling", Boingo is still afraid of the vampire. He wonders if the book tried to free him from DIO's curse and if the current user won't be involved with the end of the prophecy. Boingo wants to get out to get Tohth back, but he finds himself unable to open the door.[4] Meanwhile, Josuke and Hol Horse manage to stop a man named Koji Kiyohara who seemingly has used Pet Sounds to cause various rampages across town.
Later, Hol Horse and Boingo meet with Ryohei and Josuke. Ryohei tells Hol Horse and Boingo about what happened to Koji Kiyohara after he was taken to custody. They investigated Kiyohara's home and found videos of him shooting animals to death, so they are planning to do a psychological evaluation on him. Furthermore, some victims still haven't regained consciousness from the incident, possibly due to shock. Hol Horse thanks Ryohei for the information and figures they should go look for Boingo's comic book next. He tells Boingo to stay in his hotel room until everything is resolved. After they leave, Ryohei suggests that Boingo should try looking for the book on his own, since it's something he treasures. Boingo appreciates his advice. Josuke is curious as to why Boingo is so desperate to get his manga back instead of just buying another one. He looks at a drawing of the book and suddenly realizes where he might have seen it before. Josuke tells Hol Horse that he'll meet up with him at the hotel later and leaves on his own.[7]
However, Boingo soon meets Kazuki Karaiya, a policeman who's also the true mastermind behind the chaos caused by Pet Sounds. Karaiya knocks out Boingo and takes him with him. Later, Karaiya also finds Tohth on the street, left behind by Ryoko Kakyoin.[8] Karaiya also captures Ryoko and puts her clothes on Boingo to use the latter as bait, putting him inside of a tower for Josuke to find. Josuke uses his Stand to tie a rope around him and grabs him into his arms and only then discovers the trick.
Pet Sounds activates its Stand and puts Josuke and Boingo under its control. Suddenly, they appear to be in Egypt. Josuke is surprised because he thought his first overseas trip would be somewhere like Guam or Hawaii. He also points out that the parrot's ability to replay its experiences keeps getting more realistic and might be stronger because Pet Sounds is closer to them than before. Josuke continues hearing DIO's voice and is creeped out. When Josuke and Boingo turn around, they see DIO with Pet Sounds on his shoulder. Pet Sounds is replaying the memory of when its original owner was murdered; DIO commanded Pet Shop to kill his owner for trying to run away. Just like the memory, Pet Shop fires ice spikes at Josuke and Boingo.[5] Despite being illusions, they can still feel the pain. Josuke checks where Boingo was hit by the icicle and regrets that his Stand cannot heal injuries that aren't real. Suddenly, Josuke and Boingo are soaked in gasoline. Boingo wonders if this is the power of The World since their situation suddenly changed. Pet Shop flies behind them and drops a lit match. As soon as it hits the ground, Josuke and Boingo are covered in flames. Pet Shop then fires a barrage of icicles to put out some of the fire, saving them. Boingo wonders why he helped them but Josuke understands that the bird is just playing with its prey. It's cold enough for their bodies and the gasoline to freeze but as soon as the ice thaws, they would be burned to death. There's also no way for them to escape since a circle of fire surrounds them. Boingo wonders if the prediction he saw from Tohth about graduating from being DIO's underling meant that he would die here. He starts crying and blames himself for getting Josuke involved, but Josuke cheers him up and comes up with a plan. He ignores the attack and lets the fire burn them, while Boingo worries that they're going to die. Although it seems as if their bodies were burned, Boingo suddenly wakes up coughing on the ground. Josuke reveals that he used his Stand to make Boingo's rope wrap around both of their necks just before they were killed in the illusion. The lack of blood flow to their brains shocked them back into reality, canceling the illusion's effects.[9]
Boingo and Joseph briefly meet up with Hol Horse, but he is left behind when Hol Horse and Josuke pursue Pet Sounds and Ryoko respectively. Eventually, the two problems are solved, and the heroes gather.[10]
Later, Boingo peeks into the police station, wanting to thank Ryohei for his help earlier. However, Ryohei shows up behind him, and is happy that Boingo got his book back. Ryohei worries whether Josuke caused any trouble for Boingo with his rowdiness, but Boingo believes that's one of Josuke's good traits. Ryohei is relieved to hear that, and Boingo hopes everyone else will understand Josuke someday too. He drops his book mid-speech, revealing new pages. Tohth tells Boingo that wanting to thank Ryohei is proof that he has grown a lot. However, this is the only chance he would have gotten to do so since Ryohei is about to die soon, after drinking a bottle of rum. Boingo is shocked upon reading it, so Ryohei picks up the book for him. Ryohei says he doesn't really understand what it said, but he could tell it was about him. Boingo's expression causes him to believe that it isn't just a bad joke. Hol Horse finds Boingo at the station and also thanks Ryohei, before dragging Boingo away so they could go help Oingo deal with his debt collectors back in Egypt.[11]
Oingo and Boingo are reduced to a supporting role in the game, and they don't use their respective Stands at all. Since Boingo doesn't appear as an enemy, he no longer forms a partnership with Hol Horse.
Boingo's Stand, Tohth, appears as the main menu character for the Gallery Mode, which contains every character ending (available once the player beats Arcade Mode with that character), mini-games, special modes (such as Taro card reading) and mini-boss battles (such as Death 13 and N'Doul).
Boingo is also playable via Alessi's transformation move on the "Hol Horse with Boingo" character, as Boingo assumes Hol's place on the match for a small period of time. However, Boingo doesn't attack the opponent, as Hol Horse does that for him, hiding under the box in the background, by shooting the enemy.
