History Characters / JoJosBizarreAdventureJoJolionTheHigashikataFamily

* TakenForGranite: [[spoiler:The entire family suffers from a curse where every first-born child will slowly turn into stone. To remedy this, first-born sons are required to become {{Wholesome Crossdresser}}s until they reach the age of 12. Josuke and friends are currently seeking for a cure that will avert this trope for Tsurugi who has been dressed as a girl for his whole life. The first born daughters don't begin to exhibit symptoms of the curse until adulthood.]]

** He's similar to Joseph, Part Four Josuke's father, a ''lot'' more than you would think. Aside from his CoolOldGuy status, [[spoiler:having his left arm cut off while in a liquid state is not too far off from Joseph's left arm being melted off by Kars.]]

* AdultFear: Once Mitsuba uses her Stand, Awaking III Leaves, and gets all of the fragments of Doctor Wu out of her body, Yasuho notices [[spoiler:a tiny stone arm that's still twitching, revealing her unborn child is still alive but has become stone through EquivalentExchange]].

* AdultFear: How she acquired California King Bed; when she was two, she fell into a deep fault near the Wall Eyes, which gave her her Stand, but gradually robbed her of her sight.

* AdultFear: Picture this; [[spoiler:you're the proud father of your 9-year-old son, born to a wealthy family but forced to turn to illicit means for the sake of your son. Said son sees an exchange of illicit goods from one of your men, and that man hunts him down for being a witness, and would almost certainly have killed your son without your intervention]]. Jobin's not aware of the events of the Doobie Wah! arc; all of this goes down right under his nose.
** [[spoiler:Later on, Ojiro takes control of Jobin and forces him to strangle Tsurugi with his own hands.]]

Her Stand, Walking Heart (a portmanteau of the band Music/{{Heart}} and their song, [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanatic_(album) "Walkin' Good"]]), allows Hato to extend the heels of her feet to sharp points, up to 4 meters with the heels of her shoes stretching alongside them if she's wearing any. She can use them to climb up walls or pierce through glass and stone to attack someone from a distance.

* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Daiya is Norisuke and Kaato's youngest daughter. However, she is not the youngest member of the family; that would be her nephew Tsurugi.

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:She takes a fatal Calamity from Wonder of U to feed Tsurugi the sap from the Locacaca plant, saving his life and proving once and for all that she would sacrifice her life for her children.]]

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:She takes a fatal Calamity from Wonder of U to feed Tsurugi the sap from the Locacaca plant, saving his life.]]

His Stand, Speed King (named after a Music/DeepPurple [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_King song]]), lets him build heat up in an object he has touched, without letting it disperse (the highest it has gone so far is ''300 degrees Celsius''). He can then release it all at once to be conducted to other objects.

!!Joseph Joestar (Stand: Unnamed)

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Hiroaki Miura (''All-Star Battle'', ''Eyes of Heaven'')

* TheBabyofTheBunch: Daiya is Norisuke and Kaato's youngest daughter. However, she is not the youngest member of the family; that is her nephew Tsurugi.

* BodyHorror: [[spoiler: Once the Rock Disease starts kicking in, he starts to what can only be described as ''liquifying''. It gets worse when he gets himself attacked by the Head Doctor, and ends up looking like he's ''fusing'' with his Stand, looking paper-like and and with an origami crane lodged in him.]]

* {{Irony}}: The first thing we hear from Old Joseph in Part 3 is how much he hates Japan and Japanese people; in this timeline, Joseph's equivalent ''is'' Japanese.

* BodyHorror: [[spoiler Once the Rock Disease starts kicking in, he starts to what can only be described as ''liquifying''. It gets worse when he gets himself attacked by the Head Doctor, and ends up looking like he's ''fusing'' with his Stand, looking paper-like and and with an origami crane lodged in him.]]

* VanityIsFeminine: The original reason she went to the university hospital was to get a breast enhancement surgery. Unbeknownst to her, the treatment was Locacaca and she lost her teeth and sense of taste in EquivalentExchange.

* MissingMom: A common occurrence in this family is that all the women die very young if they have children, due to the curse that originated with [[spoiler:Johnny Joestar, who sacrificed himself to save his wife at the time of his death. The curse is a rock disease that gradually causes its victims to turn to stone, and currently the only way to avert it is to transfer the curse onto another person. The mothers often do this because if not, the children will die instead]]. Kaato did go missing for a while, then came back to hostile reception [[spoiler:because 15 years ago, she committed child homicide against a bully who was tormenting Jobin and ended up severely injured when Jobin's Stand emerged. Kaato didn't want to sacrifice herself and miss out on her children's lives, and buried the bully alive at the shrine where her husband's mother sacrificed herself, transferring the curse onto the bully instead. Her efforts end up for naught as she was arrested for her crime, and her husband divorced her to ward off shame from the family name]].

* GoodParents: Norisuke has a deep love for his family and can be quite insular. He looks over all of them and loves them, working with Josuke in order to retrieve the cure he thinks Kira had for the Higashikata family rock disease and being sorry for Holly's state as she is a relative. Norisuke is particularly close to his eldest son Jobin and his daughter Daiya, while considering Joshu a problem child without scolding him too severely.

* IDidWhatIHadToDo: [[spoiler:Claims she did the right thing, in regards to murdering Jobin's childhood bully, and sacrificing the bully instead of herself to save her son from the rock disease.]]

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler:The fact that he didn't suffer from memory loss or physical problems well into his teenage years, despite having had previously suffered from the family's rock disease, was extremely suspicious to Norisuke.]]

* HiddenDepths: Despite his {{Jerkass}} ButtMonkey status, he's the one that tries to rally the Higashikata family and raise morale when Tsurugi's rock disease starts taking a turn for the worst. In Chapter 95, he's also the only one to stand up against his older brother Jobin after [[spoiler:he seemingly kills Norisuke, by kicking Yasuho's phone to the power outlet and saving Paisley Park]].
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: The "Milagro Man" arc reveals that his Jerkass tendencies are rooted in his jealousy of 'talented people'.

* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: He starts off as a villain before being defeated ([[DefeatMeansFriendship standard JoJo fare]]) and working alongside Josuke for much of the early manga, but even then, is willing to partake in quite a bit of TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior. [[spoiler:Ultimately though, as his father Jobin is made to appear to be the ultimate BigBad of Part 8, Tsurugi is pretty willingly acting as his lackey, taking his side in the conflict against both the Rock Humans and Josuke out of his own fear of the rock disease and the New Locacaca being a cure.]]

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler:His usually worried personality dramatically changes as of Chapter 83, as the rock disease sets in and he becomes more involve in Jobin's attempts to cure him at the behest of the rest of the family knowing the truth.]]

Norisuke IV's mother. She sacrificed her life a long time ago to save a young Norisuke from the rock disease.

* TheUnfought: Is technically this, despite being [[BigBadWannabe built up]] to be the [[BigBad main antagonist]] of ''[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureJojolion JoJolion]]'' he is never fought once (at least not physically) by Josuke.

* MythologyGag: A huge family of Stand Users? Sounds like the Joestar family.

** Additionally, all of the Higashikata's Stands we've seen so far have "King" in their name. Furthermore, the positioning of the "King" indicates their generation: King Nothing has the "King" come first, because Norisuke is the eldest; his sons, daughters and wife have "King" second (Speed ''King'', Nut ''King'' Call, California ''King'' Bed, Wal''king'' Heart, Space Truc''king''), and his grandchild has it third (Paper Moon ''King''). It might also be worth noting that [[spoiler:Yoshikage Kira, a direct descendant of the original Norisuke Higashika, had the Stand named Killer ''Queen''. Though it's possibly coincidental since his sister's stand doesn't follow suit.]]

His Stand King Nothing (named after a Music/{{Metallica}} [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Nothing song]]) has a jigsaw puzzle pattern and is able to track scents by replicating their origin's appearance and movement. He can also use his Stand to detach psychic projections of his limbs if his own arms cannot fit through a gap.

* CoolOldGuy: He's the Higashikata patriarch and a grandfather, but he's relaxed and amicable to Josuke. He also says some of the most [[Funny/JojosBizarreAdventure memorable]] lines in Part 8, such as "Your Stand is like your butthole: you can't go around showing it to other people!"

* BagOfHolding: Kaato's Stand Space Trucking allows her to hide and hold objects in between a deck of playing cards, including, but not limited to, a chair leg. Joshu ''never'' saw that coming. Space Trucking is also not limited to inanimate objects, [[spoiler:as revealed when she pulls a petrified Tsurugi out to thwart Tooru's plans]].

* CharacterDevelopment: Kaato's past showed she valued self-preservation over what was expected of a Higashikata matriarch, that is to sacrifice herself to save the first born from the family's curse, the mindset that lead her into the perfect scenario where [[spoiler:she used Jobin's bully as the scapegoat to save her son and herself; many years later however, Kaato is then ready to put her life on the line to save her grandson Tsurugi, her gamble against Tooru succeeded in saving the boy, at cost of a mortal injury per Wonder of U's calamity]].

* DragonAscendant: [[spoiler:After Tooru brutally murders Jobin via calamity, she returns to the spotlight and takes it upon herself to finish what Jobin started, by finishing off Tooru and using him to heal her grandson Tsurugi.]]

* FreudianExcuse: She feels entitled to things that she believes both the world and her family denied her, and will do anything to get recompensated. [[spoiler:Flashbacks showed that she was supposed to sacrifice herself to protect Jobin from the family's rock curse, but instead replaced herself with a bully her son accidentally injured with his Stand so she could continue raising her children. Then the bully's corpse was discovered, and she resorted to TakingTheHeat to protect Jobin (who was suspected to have ample motive for the bully's death as one of his victims). Despite being a model prisoner, the judicial systems refused to lessen her prison sentence for it, so she ended up missing out on a huge chunk of her children's lives. By the time she finally came back, she found her husband divorced her, and half her children want nothing to do with her because of her crime. From her perspective, she loved her family and did everything she could to keep them happy and safe, but because she didn't die like she was supposed to, she was rewarded with nothing but scorn for her actions]].

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:She takes a fatal calamity from Wonder of U to feed Tsurugi the sap from the Rokakaka plant, saving his life.]]

His Stand Speed King (named after a Music/DeepPurple [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_King song]]) lets him build heat up in an object he has touched, without letting it disperse (the highest it has gone so far is ''300 degrees Celsius''). He can then release it all at once to be conducted to other objects.

* AntiVillain: He wants to save his family from the rock curse... but also wants to become stronger than anyone else in the process. It's implied that if Jobin and Josuke didn't have different reasons for wanting the fruit they'd be easily able to cooperate with each other in obtaining the Locacaca Fruit, but since only one person can get the fruit, they're at odds.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:As a young boy, Jobin suffered from the rock curse, which included short-term memory loss. His bullies gleefully exploited his chronic forgetfulness to torment him and get away with it, including making him steal his mother's underwear and take photos of her in the shower. When a young girl saw what the bullies were doing and tattled on them, Jobin was later forced to set fire to the girl's house (with her still inside), then was doused in oil and threatened to be burned alive when he refused. That was when he [[TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening awakened Speed King]] for the first time and rendered his bully unconscious by superheating his face. Kaato helped him bury the bully in the family shrine assuming he was dead ([[BuriedAlive he wasn't, albeit barely]]), then advised him to [[EarnYourHappyEnding climb his way up in the world]] if he desired happiness]].

* {{Foil}}: To Josuke. Both of them are [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} airheaded goofballs]], [[BewareTheSillyOnes yet cold, calculating, and vicious otherwise]]. Both of them also have a beloved family member they want to save at all costs. However, Jobin tends to step on everyone else to achieve his goals, [[AmbitionIsEvil to climb higher than anyone else]], even willing to destroy Morioh if he has to; while Josuke simply wants to save his mother. Their stands also contrast each other; Both have abilities related to storing things up and releasing them, however [[FireWaterJuxtaposition Soft &]] ''[[FireWaterJuxtaposition Wet]]'' [[FireWaterJuxtaposition can make soap bubbles, while Speed King can heat objects up]]. They are also [[BlueOrangeContrast blue and orange]] respectively, in the colorized manga.

* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:After the flow of calamity causes a hairspray tube to pierce him, Jobin falls to the ground. This causes the New Locacaca pot he was holding to land on the tube and push it all the way in. The very same plant that he murdered for ends up killing him.]]

** [[spoiler:Should Norisuke IV die, Jobin would become Norisuke V.]]

Her Stand Awaking III Leaves allows her to manifest arrows that directly change vector quantities, essentially letting her "push" things in the direction they're pointing at.

* AdultFear: Once Mitsuba uses her Stand Awaking III Leaves and gets all of the fragments of Doctor Wu out of her body, Yasuho notices [[spoiler:a tiny stone arm that's still twitching, revealing her unborn child is still alive but has become stone through EquivalentExchange.]]

Her Stand Walking Heart allows Hato to extend the heels of her feet to sharp points, up to 4 meters with the heels of her shoes stretching alongside them if she's wearing any. She can use them to climb up walls or pierce through glass and stone to attack someone from a distance.

His Stand Nut King Call (a punny alteration of Music/NatKingCole) can materialize nuts and bolts onto objects. If the nut and bolt are separated, the affected object falls apart as if it was always held together by a nut and bolt. This even extends to human limbs. The bolts can also be used to restore the object or put two different objects together.

* DetachmentCombat: His stand can do this to people of course, but he can also detach parts of himself and move it around, like he did by detaching his tongue and [[{{Troll}} making it lick Hato's ears]]. He hasn't actually used it in a fight yet, though.

* CallBack: Daiya is one of the younger members of a group of Stand users, and suffered an eye injury when she was younger. She has an innocent and childish personality despite being in her late teens, which is represented by her Stand looking like a toy. That Stand is a potentially dangerous one and she's not afraid to use it. She shares all of those traits with Narancia Ghirga from ''Golden Wind.''

* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: Her room is full of plush toys. Her Stand California King Bed is modeled after one as well.

* LaserGuidedAmnesia: What her Stand California King Bed can do. She can remove specific memories in the form of chess pieces, which are forced out of different body parts. She can even remove knowledge of ''Stand abilities''. If the chess pieces are broken in some way, the memories contained within them are lost forever.

* {{Yandere}}: She falls almost instantly for Josuke, much to his confusion. She uses her Stand California King Bed to force him to playing a game with her and steal his memories so he can stay with her forever. When she discovers he was trying to call Yasuho on her cell phone, she tries to destroy his stolen memories of Yasuho in a jealous rage.

Tsurugi's Stand Paper Moon King (named after a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_Only_a_Paper_Moon 1930s jazz standard]]) has power over origami creations. Anything Tsurugi makes out of origami gains innate abilities and behaviors belonging to what the origami represents; a frog or cicada comes to life and moves on its own, paper fortune tellers read minds, bananas make someone slip and fall, and so on. Paper Moon King is also not limited to paper, and can fold other flat objects like a smartphone into an origami creation. Another effect of Paper Moon King is that people who come into direct contact with one of its creations will begin to hallucinate, which Tsurugi claims is a result of indecision in the afflicted's heart. The effects go from making every person have the same indistinct face and making every sign have the same text to directly distorting the target's depth perception or wholesale illusions to benefit Tsurugi.

* BreakTheCutie: The poor kid is getting caught up in smuggling cartels and Stand fights at age ''nine''. He even has to kill Aisho with his stand in self-defense, causing him to break down in tears. [[spoiler:It gets worse once the stone disease sets in in earnest.]]

** Comes back in full force when [[spoiler:he's accused of trying to kill a classmate by closing the school gates with her between them. As of Chapter 84 it's unclear whether he actually did that, but most if not all evidence points to him. It's later revealed it happened because his control over his stand is starting to suffer from PowerIncontinence as the stone disease sets in, and implied that it's the result of Wonder of U narrowing in on the family as the possessors of the New Locacaca.]]

* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: He starts off as a villain before being defeated ([[DefeatMeansFriendship standard JoJo fare]]) and working alongside Josuke for much of the early manga, but even then, is willing to partake in quite a bit of TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior. [[spoiler:Ultimately though, as his father Jobin is made to appear to be the ultimate BigBad of Part 8, Tsurugi is pretty willingly acting as his lackey, taking his side in the conflict against both the rock humans and Josuke out of his own fear of the rock disease and the New Locacaca being a cure.]]

* TokenHeroicOrc: The only established rock creature to be completely benevolent to normal humans. While he did try to bite Tsurugi when he was first adopted he is otherwise a docile good boy.

** Additionally, all of the Higashikata's Stands we've seen so far have "King" in their name. Furthermore, the positioning of the "King" indicates their generation: King Nothing has the "King" come first, because Norisuke is the eldest; his sons, daughters [[spoiler: and wife]] have "King" second (Speed ''King'', Nut ''King'' Call, California ''King'' Bed, Wal''king'' Heart, [[spoiler:Space Truc''king'']]), and his grandchild has it third (Paper Moon ''King''). It might also be worth noting that [[spoiler:Yoshikage Kira, a direct descendant of the original Norisuke Higashika, had the Stand named Killer ''Queen''. Though it's possibly coincidental since his sister's stand doesn't follow suit.]]

Her Stand, Space Trucking (named for the Music/DeepPurple song "Space Truckin'") allows her to hide things in a deck of cards she keeps with her at all times. She can also use the cards to pin objects in one place.

* AdrenalineMakeover: Very subtle, but it's there between her two costumes so far. Both are very similar and keep the same playing card theme, but her first design when she got out of prison was a long dress, whereas once she [[spoiler: reappears after Tooru's attack, taking a more active role]] she's wearing long pants with an odd half-skirt on the back. The top is mostly similar and the decorations are shuffled around, but her second costume looks less "ladylike" and more like it's easier to move on, which In Universe could be easily justified if she didn't want to deal with a long dress that day.

* DragonAscendant: [[spoiler: After Tooru brutally murders Jobin via calamity, she returns to the spotlight and takes it upon herself to finish what Jobin started, by finishing off Tooru and using him to heal her grandson Tsurugi.]]

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:She takes a fatal calamity from Wonder Of U to feed Tsurugi the sap from the Rokakaka plant, saving his life.]]

* IDidWhatIHadToDo: [[spoiler: Claims she did the right thing, in regards to murdering Jobin's childhood bully, and sacrificing the bully instead of herself to save her son from the rock disease.]]

* PlayingCardMotifs: Compared to Daiya, Hato, Tsurugi and Mitsuba, Kaato doesn't point to one suit directly, as her name seems to imply the english word "Card". In fact, she could represent all of the qualities seen in the Bartle taxonomy of player types. Like the Clubs suit that represents "Killers", [[spoiler: Kaato had killed a child who was bullying Jobin and used said child to transfer Jobin's curse to]]. Like the Hearts suit that represents "Socializers", [[spoiler: she did it so that she could be with her family and take care of them]]. Like the Diamonds suit that represents "Achievers", [[spoiler: she's trying to get compensated by Norisuke for the divorce he's forced her into, wanting half of his fortune for it, and she also pushed Jobin to become a person he is today]]. Like the Spades suit that represents "Explorers", [[spoiler: she's come back to her family and wants to get to know of the children she wasn't able to raise.]]

* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler: She was arrested for murdering a child 15 years ago. However, Jobin was the one who mortally injured the bully in self-defense when his Stand Speed King first manifested. Kaato then transferred Jobin's curse to the other boy and buried him]].

* {{Foil}}: To Josuke. Both of them are [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} airheaded goofballs]], [[BewareTheSillyOnes yet cold, calculating, and vicious otherwise]]. Both of them also have a beloved family member they want to save at all costs. However, Jobin tends to step on everyone else to achieve his goals, [[AmbitionIsEvil to climb higher than anyone else]], even willing to destroy Morioh if he has to; while Josuke simply wants to save his mother. Their stands also contrast each other; Both have abilities related to storing things up and releasing them, however [[FireWaterJuxtaposition Soft & ''Wet'' can make soap bubbles, while Speed King can heat objects up]]. They are also [[BlueOrangeContrast blue and orange]] respectively, in the colorized manga.

* ManChild: Played with. Tsurugi repeatedly warns Josuke that Jobin ''is'' a sharp, competent, mature businessman as long as he thinks there's even the remotest possibility of business being discussed. Otherwise, he's somewhat obsessed with his hobbies and can't resist a challenge. Even his room reflects this dichotomy--it's spartan and plainly furnished, ''except'' for the many silly-looking toy robots and the many preserved or pet beetles along the walls.

* MotiveRant: Goes on on one to his wife, [[spoiler: after being told about what happened to Tsurugi being bullied and possibly retaliating.]]
-> '' There is '''good''' and '''bad''' luck in this world... That's... something I've been told... There are situations where if you'd gotten somewhere one second sooner... You might have '''been in an accident''' or '''avoided an accident'''... Or... You '''met''' or '''didn't meet''' someone important when you went somewhere... Things where the result... is '''good''' or '''bad'''. And the cause is '''good''' or '''evil'''. There are situations like that... I've been told. But that is a misapprehension. A societal '''misunderstanding''' caused by large numbers of people living together. Once you clear away everything extraneous and view each individual in individual situations... What we find existing around us is... simply... '''Strength''' and '''Weakness'''. Good and bad luck... Good and evil, legal and illegal... You can forget all that. There exist simply the strong that '''survive''' and the weak which are '''destroyed'''. Those two, and nothing more. ''

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: He is considered to be the true alternate counterpart of Yoshikage Kira from Part 4, instead of the actual Kira of this universe, who takes more of Jotaro's traits instead. Both are snazzy, smart businessmen who pride themselves on style and efficiency, down to wearing similarly structured outfits (suits with accented details and personal flairs). Both also have a hidden "wackier" side, with Jobin being almost child-like in his hobbies and Kira having his fetish with hands. Both have a dark secret they're willing to kill for, albeit Jobin's secret fruit harvesting for his son is far more justifiable than Kira's serial killer tendencies. Both ''also'' want a "quiet life" in different ways- Kira wants a quiet life without interruption so he can kill unimpeded, where Jobin realizes that for him to live through every day as if it were summer vacation, he also needs security. Their Stands are also very similar, with Speed '''King''' and Killer '''Queen''' being able to cause small explosions at localized areas, though their means and end results differ. Lastly [[spoiler: like Kira he dies a brutal yet unceremonious death with his lung pierced by a hairspray can while Kira's head is crushed by an ambulance]].

* {{Fingore}}: [[spoiler: Due to the effects of the Head Doctor's Stand, she cuts off two of her fingers while cooking dinner. She manages by placing two arrows on them to keep them attached.]]

* PlayingCardMotifs: Is named after the Clubs suit of cards; in video games, the Clubs suit is associated with players who enjoy causing physical destruction and killing other players. [[spoiler: She appropriately ''eviscerates'' Dr. Wu in her fight against him, and is very aggressive to people who try to harm her son's image.]]

* TakenForGranite: In Chapter 77, we find out she has been going to T.G. University Hospital and been under the care of her physician Dr. Wu Tomoki, a Rock Human, who's been secretly using the Locacaca on her, exchanging various parts of her body, [[spoiler: including her unborn child. She later eats another one to save her baby and gets a rock nose in exchange.]]

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: [[spoiler: As of Chapter 54, she inflicts a CurbStompBattle to Damo after having been only portrayed as a Ditz. In Chapter 58, it's revealed that she was smart enough to go behind her father's back and researched [[WouldHurtAChild the real reason]] why her mother "disappeared" 15 years ago.]]

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Rather pronounced when Kaato shows back up again. While it took Damo actively trying to kill her for her to realize he was no good, the ''second'' she sees Kaato again, she takes her mother's presence more seriously than everyone else except Norisuke. [[spoiler: Helps that she was old enough to remember her mother went to jail for ''murdering a child''.]]

* HiddenDepths: Despite his {{Jerkass}} ButtMonkey status, he's the one that tries to rally the Higashikata family and raise morale when Tsurugi's rock disease starts taking a turn for the worst. In chapter 95, he's also the only one to stand up against his older brother Jobin after [[spoiler:he seemingly kills Norisuke, by kicking Yasuho's phone to the power outlet and saving Paisley Park]].

* SanitySlippage: [[spoiler: After giving up his arm to heal Yasuho with the new Locacaca, he suddenly becomes stark-raving mad and aggressive towards Yasuho, his face practically covered in snot and tears. Considering he began acting like this right after Yasuho made clear her intention to pursue Tooru, it's highly implied it's an effect of Wonder Of U's Calamity.]]

* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:Goes into one after his attempts at [[{{Yandere}} fusing himself with Yasuho using the New Locacaca]] ends up transferring her injuries onto him instead. He begins backpedalling and demands that she undergo EquivalentExchange with him again to return his body to normal, lashing out and attacking when she refuses. It's also highly implied that this is more due to Wonder Of U's Calamity than something he's doing out of his own free will.]]

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Upon her defeat, she settles for a warmer attitude, helping Josuke enter the secret room of the Higashikata household, her father's private study, for his investigations.]]

* BadassAdorable: Despite being frightened and cornered, [[spoiler:he manages to trick Aisho into getting hit by a bus thanks to Paper Moon King's illusions.]] Tsurugi also gives a DeclarationOfProtection for Jobin.
* BodyHorror: [[spoiler: Once the Rock Disease starts kicking in, he starts to what can only be described as ''liquifying''. It gets worse when he gets himself attacked by the Head Doctor, and ends up looking like he's ''fusing'' with his Stand, looking paper-like and and with an origami crane lodged in him.]]

** Comes back in full force when [[spoiler:he's accused of trying to kill a classmate by closing the school gates with her between them. As of Chapter 84 it's unclear whether he actually did that, but most if not all evidence points to him. It's later revealed it happened because his control over his stand is starting to suffer from PowerIncontinence as the stone disease sets in, and implied that it's the result of Wonder Of U narrowing in on the family as the possessors of the New Locacaca.]]

* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler: He's under constant fear of a deadly family curse, ready to end his life the second he lets his guard down. It's no wonder he complies to Yotsuyu's demand; anyone in that situation would hang on to even a mere shred of hope.]]

* MasterOfIllusion: Paper Moon King gives propsopagnosia to anyone that touches Tsurugi's origami. Later in the part, its illusion abilities become more complex, like messing with people's depth perception, or [[spoiler: exagerrating his and his father's injuries.]]

* WholesomeCrossdresser: Turns out it's a Higashikata custom to [[spoiler: crossdress the firstborn children until they're 12 to protect them from the evil curse that turns them to stone.]]

* OnlyMostlyDead: At first it's implied that he died due to [[spoiler: Ozon Baby's pressure]], but he manages to survive by hardening his skin into rock.

* CallBack: This person is one of the younger members of a group of Stand users, and suffered an eye injury when they were younger. They have an innocent and childish personality despite being in their late teens, which is represented by their Stand looking like a toy. That Stand is a potentially dangerous one and they're not afraid to use it. Now, is this Daiya, or Narancia Ghirga from ''Vento Aureo''?

** YouALLLookFamiliar: Weaponized. Paper Moon King appears to be able to afflict its victims with an abstract form of propagnosia that makes them unable to differentiate between objects that they are looking for. When first used on Yasuho and Josuke, all faces around the two of them, even their own reflections, look the same to them, and all signage and lettering around Yasuho turns into the name of the store she is trying to go to. When used on Aisho Dainenjiyama while he is looking for the combined Paper Moon King and Paisley Park as an origami frog, all leaves at Dainenjiyama's feet turn into origami frogs. [[spoiler:And later Dainenjiyama mistakes a bus for Jobin Higashikata due to another use of Paper Moon King on him, leading to his defeat.]] Tsurugi claims this effect is because the afflicted don't understand who they are in their hearts.
