“ | What a piercing look... I like that! But when I meet someone with such a look... he dies prematurely! | „ |
~ Esidisi |
“ | I've met and devoured countless Hamon users like you thousands of years ago! | „ |
~ Esidisi to Joseph Joestar. |
Esidisi is one of the two secondary antagonists (alongside Wamuu) of the 1987 manga series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part II: Battle Tendency and its 2012 anime adaptation of the same.
He is the right-hand man of Kars and one of the Pillar Men serving him in his quest to become the ultimate life form. Esidisi is noted to be the most unpredictable of the trio, since he tends to be highly emotional at sudden moments, but is also very calculated and cunning in battle.
He was voiced by the late Keiji Fujiwara (who also voiced Axel in Kingdom Hearts and Mewtwo in the Pokemon franchise) in Japanese and Chris Jai Alex (who also voiced Lord Boros in One Punch Man) in English.
Biography[]
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency[]
Esidisi, like the other Pillar Men, lived for more than ten thousand years. They were searching for the Red Stone of Aja to overcome their weakness to the sun, discovering that it was kept by the Roman Emperor of the time. They were challenged by the Hamon Clan, but Esidisi and the others wiped them out completely. The few remaining members of the clan secured the Red Stone as the Pillar Men went to hibernation.
Centuries later, they finally awoke, and started looking for the stone again. Joseph Joestar, who had been beaten by Wamuu, disciple of Esidisi, had been training in an island in Venice to defeat the Pillar Men. Esidisi manages to locate the island and discovers that the stone is being held there. After killing one of the Hamon masters without much effort, he is confronted by Joseph. Joseph manages to outsmart Esidisi by using a rope trick and seemingly defeats him, but Esidisi, with only his brain remaining, hides in Joseph's back to get access to the main building of the island and get the stone. He possesses the waitress of Lisa Lisa, the master of Joseph, and after delivering the Stone through mail, tries to explode in an attempt to kill everyone, but Joseph, along with his friend Caesar, uses Hamon on the waitress, expelling Esidisi, who disintegrates in the sunlight.
Powers and Abilities[]
“ | I'll tell you this one more time. Back away. You know that with one touch of my hand, you'll soon be missing half of your body. | „ |
~ Esidisi |
Esidisi, besides having all the powers of a Pillar Men (immortality, ability to bend his body in any form or position, absorbing humans through his skin), mastered a technique called Heat Mode. He can elevate the temperature of his blood up to 500° Celsius, being able to send his blood vessels out of his body through his fingers, then either infusing the enemy with his blood or shooting it. He can also possess a person and make it explode, burning everything in the path of the explosion.
Personality[]
Unlike his companion Kars, who remains very calm and collected, Esidisi displays intense emotions, so intense that when his rage gets the better of him he wails to calm himself down.
Trivia[]
- Esidisi's name is a reference to the famous Australian hard rock band AC/DC.
- When Wamuu was only a baby, Esidisi was an adult like Kars, so this makes Esidisi superior to Wamuu in status.
