History

Phantom Blood (1889)

Cabbage and Stark are a pair of young teenagers who bully Erina Pendleton, with one of them stealing her doll. Cabbage wonders if Erina got it from her father, who he refers to as a quack doctor. When they're about to rip off the clothes from the doll, Jonathan Joestar intervenes, headbutting Cabbage and repeatedly punching his stomach. Cabbage withstands the blows and knocks Jonathan to the ground by slamming his fists on the boy's back. As Cabbage and Stark mock him for getting beaten while trying to help her, they recognize Jonathan as George Joestar's son. Cabbage declares that he hates rich people, and the two of them proceed to beat up Jonathan by kicking him on the ground before walking off.[1]


The information below derives from the first season of the TV anime which was not written by Araki. As such, it may not be considered canon.

Cabbage and Stark watch Jonathan and Dio Brando's boxing match alongside a group of other teenagers. Impressed over Dio's victory, Cabbage asks Dio how he managed to do that. Dio claims that it's a new defensive boxing technique and that he'll teach it to all of them.[3]


Concludes non-canon section.

The two later appear as associates of Dio and witness him forcefully kissing Erina.[4] Cabbage expresses his admiration for Dio's bold move. He also thinks that Erina is crazy, seeing her wash her mouth with muddy water rather than using water from the nearby river. Insulted, Dio pushes them away and slaps Erina, which surprises the pair. They leave together with Dio afterwards.

Some time later, Cabbage, Stark, and two more of their friends greet Jonathan by pelting rocks at him, laughing at his expense and informing what Dio did to Erina. Angered by this revelation, Jonathan runs back to the manor to confront Dio.[2]
