Villain Overview

Jobu: I got bored one day, then I put everything in a bagel... everything. All my hopes and dreams, my old report cards, every breed of dog, every personal ad on Craigslist, sesame, poppy seed, salt, and it collapsed in on itself. 'Cause you see, when you really put everything on a bagel, it becomes this... the truth.
Evelyn: What is the truth?
Jobu: Nothing... matters.
~ Jobu Tupaki revealing her everything bagel's origin and her beliefs to Evelyn.
All this time, I wasn't looking for you so I could kill you. I was just looking for someone who could see what I see, feel what I feel.
~ Jobu Tupaki explaining her true goal behind finding Evelyn.
The universe is so much bigger than you realize.
~ Jobu Tupaki.

Biography[]

Background[]

When the Alpha Evelyn and Waymond studied verse-jumping, the Joy of that universe - along with many other young minds - were sent to practice. However, Joy had the most potential; and so Alpha Evelyn pushed Alpha Joy to her limits until her mind overloaded. Instead of dying, her mind was fractured into every possibility, having her experience everything at once. This led her to have a nihilistic belief that nothing mattered, henceforth transforming into Jobu Tupaki as a result. Tupaki goes on to create the Everything Bagel by putting literally everything on a Bagel to see what happens as a result and forms a cult (with a more sinister version of IRS agent Deirdre Beaubeirdre as Jobu's top enforcer) around it worshipping the Bagel as "The Truth" all with the end goal of unleashing the bagel once she's found a version of her mother who truly understands her and enter it together in order to end her life and be at peace.

Part 1: Everything[]

Jobu is introduced as a "great evil" that threatens the existence of the multiverse. Jobu is first seen looking for the protagonist Evelyn, in a universe where she is seen as a deity. She overloads the mind of that universe's Evelyn, accidentally killing her. She then detects the protagonist Evelyn, travelling to her universe, going straight to the IRS building she is in. After some time, she meets with Evelyn, and easily wipes out the guards in her way, confronting Evelyn face to face. She shows her the everything bagel that she made by putting everything she could think of on a singular bagel, that collapsed on itself. She shows her beliefs to Evelyn in a speech before being intercepted by the alpha Gong Gong and Waymond, and they lock all of them in a room away from Jobu. After an attempt to catch up, Joy enters the room and is immediately taped to a chair, while Jobu remains absent. Alpha Gong Gong's solution is to kill Joy before she can return as Jobu to heavily hinder her goal, but Evelyn resists, helping Waymond release Joy from her chair. Jobu pursued the Alpha Wang family and their group, crashs their van, and kills all of them. Jobu returns to the protagonist Evelyn, who decides to become like Jobu to defeat her. However, Evelyn overloads her mind and temporarily dies.

Part 2: Everywhere[]

In another universe, Evelyn is greeted by Joy with her girlfriend, Becky. Jobu reveals herself, leads Evelyn to their living room to confront her again. She then transports herself and Evelyn to the temple containing her bagel. She turns back the curtains to reveal the bagel and that she just wants to see if she can die, and Evelyn travels to many universes at the same time, who has also gotten Jobu's nihilistic beliefs. Evelyn then meets with Jobu as two rocks in a universe where life didn't survive. Jobu says that she feels trapped in her fate, and hoped that Evelyn would see something different. This is when the Waymond of every universe does something that makes Evelyn see that there are things worth living for before Jobu interrupts, and says that it doesn't matter. She then activates the everything bagel, and leaves Evelyn behind to enter the bagel, effectively dying. However, Evelyn travels up the stairs, making everyone in her way feel something good to get to Jobu. When Evelyn reaches her, they get into a fight where Jobu pushes her belief that the bagel is the only way to peace, when Evelyn hugs Jobu to pull her back. They meet in the parking lot of the laundromat where Evelyn first arrived in the universe. Jobu convinces Evelyn to let her go, which she does, allowing herself to be consumed into the bagel. However, Evelyn changes her mind, and convinces Jobu to come back and not leave. Moved by Evelyn's speech, she goes back on the bagel, hugging Evelyn back. They embrace themselves in their arms.

Part 3: All at Once[]

The Wang family is reunited and everyone accepts Becky into the family. The Wangs go to the IRS to discuss the laundromat, where things are looking hopeful though it wont stay like that for long.

Powers and Abilities[]

Powers[]

  • Multiversal Consciousness: Jobu's fractured consciousness splits her existence across all parallel universes simultaneously. Jobu experiences every existence and has the memories of every variant of Joy which ultimately drives her to nihilism. Jobu can instantly assume control of any alternate Joy at any time with minimal effort akin to a flick of her wrist.
    • Nigh Omniscience: Because Jobu experiences an infinite number of alternate realities, and given that an infinite number of parallel universes guarantees that there exists a Jobu who has a given knowledge, Jobu has access to all knowledge. While this isn't directly demonstrated, it is implied by showing that Evelyn, who similarly attains Multiversal Consciousness, has intimate knowledge of strangers such as their desires, fetishes, and medical history obtained through interactions between Evelyn and the strangers in alternate realities.
    • Nigh Omnipresence: the power of jobu have that she is able to travel at the infinite multiverse where she can be find evelyn at paralell universe and able to imaginable her alternate self in other universe. and can see her being everywhere.
      • Possession: Jobu can possess her alternate counterparts without them knowing
    • Accelerated Development: Just like her mother evelyn that two of them able to boosting or having a skill agility fighting combat anything skills they can get it without practicing.
    • Body Manipulation: Jobu has the power of able to control body parts, as in the scene where she wildly fights police officers and breaking their bones and able to influence deirdre body where she controlled it on her hand and made deirdre fall into the 4 or 5th floor.
      • Superhuman Reflexes & Agility: Jobu has inhuman reflexes than normal humans and inhuman agility of fighting and blocking all the physical harm attacks coming from like punches or bodies analyzing.
    • Reality Manipulation: Jobu has the power to reshape reality, including people, objects, and outcomes, by instantly replacing them with the equivalent body, object, or outcome from a parallel universe. With this power, Jobu can transform objects and people into anything else imaginable, given that an infinite number of parallel universes guarantees that every possible configuration for any given object or outcome exists. This also includes transforming people into clouds of confetti. Jobu's ability to transform outcomes makes fighting her impossible as she can replace outcomes with those favorable to her. This is demonstrated when Jobu is shot by a police officer, but replaces the outcome with a fake injury made of organic ketchup. Jobu demonstrates this for Evelyn by asking Evelyn to punch her in the face, and then replacing the outcome with one where Evelyn punches herself in the face in addition to punching Jobu.
      • Transmutation: Jobu can transform objects and people into anything else imaginable. Jobu can rearrange the particles of a object or person with those from an alternate reality. Given that an infinite number of parallel universes guarantees that every possible configuration for any given object or outcome exists.
    • Singularity creation: Jobu can create a multiversal singularity, in the form of a bagel, that, upon entering, theoretically erases all instances of a person in every parallel universe. She intends to commit suicide by entering the bagel, with the hopes that it will destroy every instance of herself and the rest of the multiverse simultaneously.

Abilities[]

  • Genius intellect: Jobu seemed to know a lot about the universe
  • Expert Combatant: Jobu is a capable fighter, as she is able to call upon fighting skills from infinite parallel versions of Joy. She demonstrates this by easily defeating several guards, police officers, and other multiversal travelers in hand-to-hand combat. She was able to initially fight evenly against the main universe's Evelyn Wang who gained the powers of her alternate selves, but ultimately lost.
  • Leadership:

Quotes[]

Feels nice, doesn't it? If nothing matters, then all the pain and guilt you feel from making nothing of your life... it goes away. Sucked... into... a bagel...
~ Jobu further showing her beliefs to Evelyn.
Jobu: You see it all, don't you? You can see how everything is just a random rearrangement of particles in a vibrating super postition.
Evelyn: I have no idea what you are talking about, but I can do this!
Jobu: But you see how everything we feel gets washed away in a sea of every other possibility. You're everywhere, you're like me.
~ Jobu during her first confrontation with Evelyn in Part 2.
Oh... so cute! Come on, Evelyn, come on. [Evelyn steps away] Oh, I get it. Feeling a good thing. They got your hopes up, so I'm here to save you some time. Eventually... that all just goes away.
~ Jobu Tupaki to Evelyn.
Jobu [tearfully]: So what you... you're just gonna ignore everything else? You can be anything, anywhere. Why not go somewhere where... where your daughter more than just... this? Here all we get... are a few specks of time where any of this makes any sense.
Evelyn: Then I will cherish these few specks of time.
~ Jobu with Evelyn before her reformation.
