The Nijimura Residence (虹村邸, Nijimura-tei) is a secondary (should we catagorize locations like we do characters?) location featured in the fourth part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, Diamond is Unbreakable. It is a home situated in the Japanese town of Morioh.

Seemingly abandoned for several years, Josuke Higashikata enters the home to save Koichi Hirose after he is shot with an arrow and dragged inside. It's inhabitants, a pair of brothers, stealthily use the Bow and Arrow to create Stand users in Morioh.

Description

Located in the suburbs of Morioh, the Nijimura residence is a Victorian-style three-story home. Over the years, the home has deteriorated, its exterior now sporting overgrown foliage, and weathered to the point where the brick underneath is exposed. At some point, the home's windows and front door were boarded up, with several "no trespassing" signs being placed around the surrounding gate. The sign on the home's front gate changes from saying "no trespassing" (立入禁止) to saying "no passing" (立禁止), after The Hand erases the space while trying to attack Josuke.[2] Additionally, following Josuke's battle with Keicho Nijimura, several rooms in the home are significantly damaged.

Most of the home's rooms are empty, lacking any furniture or notable qualities. The lone exception, a room on the 3rd floor, houses the patriarch of the Nijimura family, Mansaku Nijimura, along with Keicho's bow and arrow. The home was believed by Koichi to be abandoned for about 3-4 years, with nearby realtors making sure squatters haven't inhabited the home.[3] According to Okuyasu, Mansaku is the owner of the home.[4] The home is close to the Higashikata residence.

History

Background

Mansaku mutating after DIO's death

Sometime in 1989, after he began receiving money and treasures from DIO, Mansaku Nijimura moved from Tokyo to Morioh with his two sons. One day, when returning home from school, a young Keicho discovers Okuyasu crying in front of the house crying. Assuming their father had been beating him, Keicho goes to confront Mansaku, only to find him deforming in the kitchen. Mansaku has been implanted with a flesh bud by DIO, and upon his death, the flesh bud went haywire, slowly transforming him into his current monstrous state. [6]

At some point after Mansaku's transformation, Keicho comes into ownership of Enya the Hag's bow and arrow. At some point in the mid-90s, the home is considered abandoned by locals, and the windows and front entrance are boarded up. In the years prior to the start of Diamond is Unbreakable, Keicho begins shooting random passersby with the bow and arrow, in hopes of creating a Stand user who can kill his father.

The Nijimura Brothers

One day, while walking home from school with Josuke, Koichi notices a person standing in a window on the second floor of the home. The two discuss the abandoned and decrepit state of the home, with Josuke doubting that anyone is in the home. As Koichi looks through the front gate of the home, someone suddenly kicks the gate closed, strangling Koichi. The person, Okuyasu Nijimura, proceeds to taunt Josuke, until an arrow suddenly pierces Koichi through the throat. Okuyasu looks up to see his brother, Keicho, who informs him that Josuke was the person who took down Anjuro Katagiri, and orders him to kill Josuke. When Okuyasu takes his foot off of the gate, Koichi falls to the floor, leading Keicho to remark that Koichi failed to manifest a Stand and will die soon.

Keicho begins berating Okuyasu, warning him to take the situation seriously and use his Stand to quickly kill Josuke. Josuke quickly punches Okuyasu away, and runs to check on Koichi's condition. Okuyasu rushes back to Josuke and summons his stand, The Hand, repeatedly attempting to strike Josuke with it's right hand. Josuke, taking note of this, uses Crazy Diamond to stop The Hand from striking him. After The Hand accidentally strikes the front gate of the home, Josuke notices that the "no trespassing" sign now says "no passing", and realizes that the Stand can erase space. Okuyasu confirms this, using the power to transport Josuke closer to him, but accidentally sends several flower pots crashing into him and knocks himself unconscious. After remarking upon Okuyasu's stupidity, Josuke notices Koichi being dragged into the home.

Trivia

  • In the manga, the front door additionally has chains and another "no trespassing" sign placed over it. In the anime, this is changed to simply just a few planks of wood.
