Biography[]
Past[]
While Boingo's background is largely a mystery, it has been revealed in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Crazy Diamond's Demonic Heartbreak that Oingo had a neglectful father at best, someone more interested in drinking alcohol than taking care of his children. Boingo first became known of Thoth's capabilities after his father attempted to sell it for money to use for his own vices, with the book reappearing by his side shortly after.
Through unknown circumstances, the two brothers would eventually meet DIO and become his servants.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders[]
We are introduced to Boingo reading Thoth as a comic artist introduces himself to him, desiring to read his book. Though some exchanges, the comic artist becomes interested in the book mostly due to its mainly blank pages, and offers to buy it. He does not gain this, however, as Oingo scares him off. Soon after this, we first see Thoth's ability to predict the future to some degree, as both brothers avoid a bus doomed to a great accident.
Looking into the book for guidance, Oingo and Boingo make their first attempt to kill the heroes through poisoned tea. Despite them successfully convincing them to get it through their earlier plan (soda) not being cold, Iggy interferes through being a general nuisance, causing the hero to change after them in anger, leaving the tea behind.
After a brief assault and thievery from a passerby through Thoth, Oingo tries himself to blow Jotaro to kingdom come using a bomb resembling an orange. Using a disguise as Jotaro, the prediction comes true in the technical sense, with Oingo blowing himself up. As Boingo rushes to his aid and plans to defeat the heroes, the robbed and furious passerby uses an small mob to harm the two enough to send them to the hospital.
Soon after this, Boingo is forcefully teamed up with Hol Horse to take revenge on the heroes for the defeat of their partners. The first prediction Boingo has with his new partner (Hol Horse kicking a woman, following by her giving them payment.) draws ire from Hol Horse's respect for the opposite sex, but following actually doing so for the prediction's sake, it is revealed that he actually killed a scorpion, and the woman gives them their cash out of relief for them saving her hide.
Following the next prediction (Hol Horse shoving his fingers up Jeanne Pierre Polnareff's nose leading for the heroes to be hit by a truck) coming true through chain reaction, a fully confident Hol Horse follows yet another prediction by shooting Emperor through pipes to shoot Jotaro down. However, the watch used to time the attack was off, causing the bullets to circle back to the man and instead hitting him. Boingo wonders if he should use his powers for good instead, kicking his hiding crate aside for it to only hit Iggy, the enraged mutt attacking Boingo and sending him back to medical care, now even more of a shut-in.
In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Crazy Diamond's Demonic Heartbreak, it is revealed that after Hol Horse and Boingo reawoke in a hospital in Cairo and fearing that DIO would kill them both for failing them after defeating the Stardust Crusaders, they fled from the city in terror. However, as they ran away, they bore witness to the end of Kakyoin's battle against DIO.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Crazy Diamond's Demonic Heartbreak[]
Boingo first appears in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Crazy Diamond's Demonic Heartbreak breaking up a fight between Hol Horse and Mariah in a hideout he is staying in with her and Oingo, showing to him that they must go to Morioh to rescue a parrot DIO took from his deceased owner. After Ryoko put Thoth in her bag, Boingo is first seen in Morioh within a police station, with Ryohei Higashikata trying to coax him out of his hiding place. After thinking of a prediction Thoth gave him of needing to part with the book for sometime to grow, Thoth begins to tell of Ryoko's story as well, also creating predictions for her own behavior. Boingo is then seen fleeing from the barrage of emeralds that appeared following Hol Horse's brainwashing.
Boingo is next seen within a hotel room in Morioh, recounting a time during his childhood where Thoth reappeared to him even after being sold by his father. Believing that the Stand itself was a give by the god Thoth, Boingo attempts to muster up the courage to find Thoth, but finds himself unable to. Later on, Ryohei gives Boingo the motivation he needs to find the book himself. As Boingo walks outside to look for Thoth, a police officer stops and asks to help him look for it before knocking them out. Finding it for him, Thoth reveals to Karaiya its latest prediction: that upon giving Ryoko a gun, she will eventually shoot Hol Horse dead. After somehow gaining Ryoko's clothes, Josuke mistakes Boingo for Ryoko and reels them towards them, with the two falling into one of Petsounds' illusions after this. In the illusion, Petsounds replays the memory of its original owner's fate for the two heroes, with DIO commanding Pet Shop to send a barrage of icicles towards the heroes.
Reeling from the phantom pain of this attack, Jouke and Boingo are then further attacked by the wicked cruelty of Pet Shop, lighting spilled gasoline on fire to set the heroes ablaze once its ice thaws. Cursing his weakness, Josuke rebukes his allies doubts by facing the attack head-on, with the two eventually managing to escape the illusion itself. Heading off to search for Ryoko, Josuke and Boingo eventually regroup with Hol Horse on accident, the heroes informing them of Petsounds' survival. As Josuke and Hol Horse separate to head after Ryoko and Petsounds respectively, Boingo is left alone on a starcase, left to ponder his allies' plans.
After Kazuki and Petsounds are defeated, Boingo is next seen regrouping with his allies. With his job complete, Boingo first plans to thank Josuke for his help before bumping into Ryohei, assuring the man that his son's brash nature is a virtuous trait to them. However, just as Boingo is about to depart, Thoth ends up slipping out of his hands to reveal a dire truth: that Ryohei is fated to soon perish to an unknown assailant. While Boingo is terrified of this prediction and Ryohei's notice of the message's seriousness, he ends up being escorted away by Hol Horse before he can make a formal statement. Knowing that his grandson will one day be forced into becoming Morioh's savior, Ryohei delivers a call to Joseph Joestar as a invitation to Morioh, helping set Josuke's then-upcoming adventure up into motion.
Powers and Abilities[]
Thoth and his stand stats.
| “ | M... M... my Stand Tohth can only see the near future... It can't see too far... but... once something is printed it can't be changed! | „ |
| ~ Boingo |
Boingo's stand, Thoth, is a comic book that predicts the near future. Although the predictions are always stupid and unbelievable, they will always come true as long as the steps shown are followed correctly. For example, when Thoth predicted that Hol Horse would kick a random woman and be rewarded for it, Hol Horse refused to believe it, but after kicking the woman he discovered that doing so had in fact killed a deadly spider that was about to bite her, leading to her rewarding him.
However, Thoth's predictions are open to interpretation and can backfire. For example, when Thoth later showed Hol Horse an image of Jotaro being shot in the face, this prediction "came true" via Hol Horse's bullets shooting through the image of Jotaro in the book and hitting Hol Horse instead. Mistaking any element of Thoth's prophecy, or worse trying to fight against the prophecy, will always lead to a disastrous backfire.
While it is considered Boingo's Stand, Thoth is an entity that seems to be tied to more than just Boingo's capabilities, as it has appeared numerous times across human history to offer a record of events alongside its predictions. As such, it is likely that Boingo is simply the latest in a long line of Stand Users who called the Stand their own, with Thoth possibly previously belonging to his family and their ancestors.
