Esidisi

**Esidisi** (エシディシ *Eshidishi*) is an antagonist featured in *Battle Tendency*.

Esidisi is the second highest ranked Pillar Man after Kars, and battles the Ripple users for the possession of the Red Stone of Aja.

## APPEARANCE

Esidisi's appearance is that of a tall, dark skinned, and very well-built man. He has light hair, protruding in a bouffant tuft from under a tall headpiece. A dark painted or tattooed X mark spans his face, joined at the bridge of his nose, touching the middle of his forehead and jaw. He commonly wears a nose ring in his right nostril, and great, thick hoop earrings. His brow rests in a sinister scowl.

During his fight with Joseph, his top is bare save for leather-like patches stitched to his skin at his shoulders and chest.

## PERSONALITY

Like Wamuu and Kars, Esidisi is very confident in his powers and abilities and sees humans as inferior. He is particularly smug against Joseph and enjoyed outwitting the human. Despite this, Esidisi is very affable and acts calm a majority of the time, tranquilly asserting the situation before taking action. Esidisi never loses sight of his goal, and will always act to get the Red Stone of Aja. But he has a dangerous temper so he tends to emotionally break down as a calming mechanism, the abrupt tantrum and sobbing also serving as an unsettling destabilization tactic.

Esidisi's devotion to Kars's goals is so adamant that he would gladly lower himself to bring them to fruition, as Joseph noted to be the Pillar Man's motivation for possessing the defenseless Suzi Q.

## ABILITIES

**Body Manipulation:** Like other Pillar Man, Esidisi can freely manipulate his body structure. When his body was destroyed, he was able to alter his brain and nervous system to continue thriving as a a parasitic organism that can possess a human body.

* **Absorption**: The cells that constitute Esidisi's body release a potent digestive acid that melts anything organic on physical contact while making it appear Esidisi is absorbing his victim into his body. Esidisi displayed this ability through grafting Loggin's hand as a replacement for his severed limb.

**Master Strategist**: Despite his violent temper, Esidisi is a brilliant tactician, being able to see through Joseph's deception and even managing to thwart his insidious plans using his own, something no other villain in the series demonstrated. Esidisi also traveled to China and is knowledgeable about Sun Tzu's *Art of War*, including his theory "all warfare is based on deception".

**Flame Mode** (炎の *Honō no Mōdo*): Using *Flame Mode*, Esidisi is able to raise his body temperature in order to heat his blood up to 500 degrees Celsius, then hurl it out melting anything the blood touches. In the anime, it is called the "Heat Mode" (熱の *Netsu no Mōdo*).

* **Erratic Blaze King Mode** (怪焔王の *Kaien'nō no Mōdo*): After entering his *Flame Mode*, Esidisi extends his blood vessels out of his body and makes them into long, prehensile needles with which he injects his boiling blood into enemies.
* **Erratic Blaze King's Giant Cartwheel Prison** (怪焔王大車獄*Kaiennō Daishagoku*): After creating several holes in his back, Esidisi makes a huge spinning jump, while extending his blood vessels out of the newly created holes, similar to a hedgehog's spines. He then attacks using his blood vessels to surround his enemies, giving them little room to escape.
* **Self Detonation**: As a last resort, Esidisi is able to detonate his own body, in order to cover a wide area with his boiling blood and kill a big group of enemies. Presumably, not even Esidisi himself can survive after performing this attack.

## TMNT X POKEMON

Esidisi is one of the many villains you will face throughout the game. He's one of the most difficult on the difficulty scale.

## TRIVIA

* Because Esidisi and Santana appear in the 1988 Famicom game *Famicom Jump: Hero Retsuden*, he and Santana are the very first JoJo antagonists to be featured in interactive media. This is even before DIO, whose own video game debut was in the 1993 Super Famicom game *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (SFC)*.
