~ Esidisi to Joseph Joestar

Background

Esidisi is a primary antagonist in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency and is the third of the four main Pillar Men featured throughout the part. He serves as Kars' right hand man during their search for the flawless Red Stone of Aja.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Esidisi's story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Pre-Battle Tendency
Esidisi originally lived in the Americas with the rest of the Pillar Men, a human like species weak to the sun. Sometime during his life he would meet Kars, another Pillar Man who wanted to use his creation, the Stone Mask, to conquer the sun so his race would no longer have to hide from it to survive. Esidisi would be one of the few Pillar Men who agreed with Kars ideas as the other Pillar Men would view the mask as too dangerous. Due to this Esidisi would be spared by Kars, who would slaughter almost all of his entire species only leaving himself, Esidisi, and two kids named Wamuu and Santana alive. Esidisi would go on to become Kars' right hand man during his search for the flawless Red Stone of Aja.

During their search Esidisi, Kars, and Wamuu would abandon Santana in Mexico and would head to Eurasia to find the red stone. While searching in Eurasia, Esidisi would learn of Sun Tzu before coming to Rome, where he and the other Pillar Men would defeat members of the Hamon tribe before entering hibernation under the Roman Colosseum. The wall the three Pillar Men would embed themselves in would be booby trapped so they could absorb nourishment, which is what killed the Hamon user Mario Zeppeli. At some point the Nazis would find the Pillar Men and would being researching them to make sure they wouldn't pose a threat to Germany.

Battle Tendency (1938-1939)
In 1938, Esidisi, Kars, and Wamuu would awaken underneath the Roman Colosseum. Shortly after waking up Esidisi would scold Wamuu for attacking Kars on accident, though Kars would apologize as it was him who triggered Wamuu's reflects. Esidisi would view Wamuu's battle with Joseph Joestar and Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli and would allow him to fight them as he and Kars left the Colosseum. Esidisi would meet up with Wamuu when the battle moved outside the Colosseum where Joseph would try to bargain for his life telling Wamuu that he would be able to defeat him in thirty days once he's trained. Amused Wamuu would place a poison ring inside Joseph to make sure he would train and fight him for the antidote thirty days later, which Esidisi would do as well. After that the Pillar Men would leave in search of the Red Stone of Aja.

A few weeks later Esidisi would find out the red stone's location around Air Supplena Island and would head there alone. While on a nearby island Esidisi would kill the Hamon user Loggins.

Right after killing him, Esidisi would encounter Joseph, who had been training on the island and was prepared to battle against his teacher, Loggins. Esidisi would realize the red stone was on the main island and would prepare to battle Joseph in a spiked arena. Esidisi would attack Joseph, who would block his attack with his finger and would use his Hamon to pierce through Esidisi's hand. Esidisi would grab Joseph's fist and would attempt to flip him over but Joseph would vault over Esidisi and would tie string around his arm. Joseph would yank the string and would slice Esidisi's arm off. Esidisi would then begin to bawl his eyes out, trying to control his emotions. Once Esidisi calmed down he would slice of Loggin's arm and would fuse it with his arm as a replacement. Joseph would witness Loggin's corpse melt and Esidisi would reveal to Joseph his Erratic Blaze King Mode, which allows him to fill his veins with extremely hot blood which he can splash its victims with. Esidisi would dig out his skin to unleash his veins and would attack Joseph, burning his mouth in the process. Esidisi would then impale himself with spikes to unleash even more veins and would surround Joseph with his burring blood veins as well as taking care of a string trap Joseph had sent up. However Joseph would reveal that he used a cut and restore rope trick to hide another set of string behind Esidisi. Joseph would then yank one of the strings, which would tighten around Esidisi, which would cause him to start evaporating. Esidisi would reveal his horn and would try to attack Joseph but would be nearly evaporated when Joseph destroyed his horn. Esidisi's body would be destroyed but Esidisi would live as just a nervous system clinging on to Joseph's back without him noticing.

Clinging on the Joseph's back Esidisi would sneak into Lisa Lisa's mansion and would possesses the body of Suzi Q. Using Suzi Q, Esidisi was able to grab the Red Stone of Aja and would mail it to Switzerland. Esidisi would reveal himself to Lisa Lisa before Joseph and Caesar entered her room. Esidisi would attack Caesar, and would tell the Hamon users that they would have to kill Suzi Q in order to kill him as a way of stalling. Esidisi would then decide to turn Suzi Q into a burning blood bomb to kill the Hamon users but would be stopped by Joseph and Caesar who would use positively charged and negatively charged Hamon to remove Esidisi with harming Suzi Q. Esidisi would then be killed by sunlight as he tried to escape to Joseph's body.

Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (Able to speak Latin. Understands Hamon and alongside Kars and Wamuu, they were able to take out most of the Hamon tribe. Was able to predict what Joseph Joestar would say next. Should be smarter than Santana, who after waking up from his slumber he was able to escape his chamber in a short amount of time. Santana can master languages just by hearing people speak them. Despite Santana not knowing what a gun was he was able to take a gun apart in seconds which takes a solider hours of training to do.

Notable Techniques

  • Erratic Blaze King Mode: When using Erratic King Blaze Mode, Esidisi is able to control his veins and fill them with blood that reaches six hundred degree Celsius which he can use to attack his enemies. He used this to battle Joseph Joestar while searching for the flawless Red Stone of Aja.

Other

Standard Tactics: Like most other Pillar Men, Esidisi will usually try to absorb his opponent. If he can't do that he will fight them in physical combat.

Weaknesses: If Pillar Men are exposed to the sun's light or ultra violet light, they will turn into stone. If it is strong enough, Hamon is able to disintegrate the Pillar Men. If the Pillar Men are reduced into many one centimeter cube squares they will be unable to regenerate and will die. The Pillar Men sleep in two thousand year cycles requiring them to sleep for two thousand years when the time comes. Positively and negatively charged Hamon can drive a Pillar Men out of the body they are controlling or possessing. Sunlight is able to kill pillar men if they are just a brain. When Esidisi loses his temper or gets frustrated he will bawl his eyes out to calm himself down. Pillar Men who have used the Stone Mask need life force to maintain their Immortality.

Trivia

  • Esidisi's name is a reference to the Australian rock band AC/DC.
  • In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle, if Esidisi, Kars, or Wamuu battle in Skeleton Heel Stone stage, the crowd of Vampires will shout out their name, similar to a scene in the manga.
  • The appearance of the Pillar Men is based of a combination of Roman sculptures, the Great Sphinx of Giza, and the Nio Buddhist guardians.[2]
