—Anasui meeting Jolyne, SO Chapter 68

Narciso Anasui (ナルシソ・アナスイ Narushiso Anasui) is a major ally featured in Stone Ocean.

Anasui is an inmate in Green Dolphin Street Prison who falls in love with Jolyne Cujoh and decides to help her with defeating Enrico Pucci. Anasui is a Stand User who wields Diver Down in battle. 

Appearance[]

Femme anasui

Anasui's first appearance

Anasui is a man of above-average height and medium to athletic build. He is always seen with a slim, flat hat on his head, and he wears a form-fitting mesh over his upper body and lower legs, exposing most of his chest. The mesh is comprised of diagonal stripes which resemble a fishnet pattern with extremely large gaps between the clothing lines. One of the most prominent features of his shirt (or lack thereof) is the presence of footprint designs leading from his waist skirt and up onto his chest. This perhaps reflects one of the uses of his Stand, as Diver Down displays the ability to extend its arms and feet from within another person's body.

In his first appearance, Anasui was depicted with short hair and was originally depicted as a woman. When he is re-introduced later, he takes on a more masculine design. In a panel in 2019, Araki said he changed the design to go beyond the normal standards of beauty.[6] In the anime, this is not the case, and his re-designed appearance is used from the beginning.

Personality[]

Don't trust him . . . he's a murderer.

—Emporio warning F.F to watch out for Anasui


Described at first as 'the type of person that doesn't help other people',[7] Emporio tells F.F. that 'if Weather Report wasn't there to keep him calm, there is no knowing what Anasui would do'.[8]

As a child, Anasui had the habit of 'disassembling' things, once even disassembling a telephone pole and a neighbor's Porsche.

When he caught his former girlfriend making love to another man, he 'disassembled them' on the spot. However, he later acknowledges himself as a killer and expresses guilt over what he had done, seeing Jolyne as a chance at redemption for his sin.

After meeting Jolyne, he became drawn to her strong will and determination to save her father and vows to help and then marry her. When they aren't in danger, he would try to woo Jolyne, though he is often unsuccessful. In love with the concept of her courageous and burning determination, Anasui mused that given the chance, he would follow Jolyne for eternity. His dedication extends to the point he is fully willing to sacrifice his life for her, telling FF they can use his body after he dies if they can get Jotaro's memory disc Pucci embedded into his dying body out.

While he made aiding Jolyne his primary goal, he is shown to care about the few other people able to move his heart. One of these is Weather Report, whom he had been close friends with prior to meeting Jolyne. After Weather's death, he stated that Weather is one of the few people he cares about. Notably, he also mentions avenging F.F. when discussing settling a score with Pucci with Weather.

Abilities[]

Main article: Diver Down

Diver Down is a close-range stand with the main ability to imprint an attack on any surface and release it. It also is able to phase through solid materials and change the materials that make them up.

History[]

Background[]

Obsessed with disassembling objects, Anasui was an awkward child. He painstakingly disassembled pocket watches, toys, and whatever else caught his interest. At the age of 10 he disassembled his neighbor's car causing him to be institutionalized for six months. Another time he disassembled a high-voltage telephone pole. One day when he was 21, while returning from work, he found his girlfriend cheating on him with another man. In response, he methodically tore both of them apart so they would never "come together again". He was sent to prison and faced a twelve-year sentence for first-degree murder.

During his time in prison, he eventually met Weather Report and Emporio and discovered his stand ability, Diver Down.

His Name Is Anasui[]

Although he was briefly seen next to Weather Report by Ermes Costello, Anasui doesn't get involved with Jolyne until F.F. comes to Emporio for help. Seemingly entranced by the tales he has heard of her, Anasui agrees to become Jolyne's bodyguard out of his burning love for her and exits Emporio's ghost room. Using Diver Down, he opens a door by storing energy into it and releasing the energy as a kick upon two incoming guards. In exchange for his aid, he forces Foo Fighters to promise that she will do everything in her power to ensure that Jolyne marries him.

Burn, Dragon's Dream[]

Anasui then appears coming up the stairs of the Ultra-Security Punishment Ward just as Foo Fighters and Jolyne are about to face Kenzou. At first, he doesn't engage in the battle, instead expounding on Kenzou's history and confesses his love to Jolyne. He then explains the concept of 'feng shui', which Kenzou's stand Dragon's Dream relies on. When Jolyne presses him to go and protect Foo Fighters, he replies saying that his promise was to only protect Jolyne, Foo Fighters not being included, as well as the fact that Foo Fighters specifically told him not to help her. As Foo Fighters is flung into the electric chair through Kenzou's attacks and Jolyne drops down the stairs, Anasui springs into action in order to protect Jolyne from being the next target of Kenzou's 'feng shui assassination'. He phases Diver Down into Jolyne's body and upon Kenzou's kick coming into contact with her body, he changes the structure of Kenzou's legs to resemble that of a spring. This causes him to be put out of commission, crumpled up in a bucket. Upon finding her and connecting with her, Anasui keeps true to his word and protects Jolyne to the point of self-sacrifice at times.

A "Green" Birth[]

After the fight with Kenzou, Anasui attempts to convince Foo Fighters to make Jolyne trip down the stairs in order for him to save her from falling, which he believes will make her fall in love with him. Foo Fighters, still distracted by the remaining enemies, refuses at first, but caves and trips Jolyne. She uses Stone Free to grab onto the arm of the small prisoner holding DIO's bone, leaving Anasui in favor of her goal. He then notices the strange effects of the Green Baby's birth on the prisoner, shocked at the metamorphosis. Anasui warns Jolyne to stop, noticing the plants on her face and inspecting her before concluding that the roots and plant-like things appearing in the Ultra-Security Punishment Ward are the cause of DIO's bone. Anasui then uses Diver Down to remove most of the flowers that grew out of Jolyne's body after she went to give chase to the bone. He lightly nibbles on one of the flowers to confirm that they are living things, while also warning Jolyne to stay out of the sunlight in order to prevent further growth. However, he is unable to stop her from taking the Green Baby.

Yo-Yo Ma is Coming![]

Anasui hurries and leads Jolyne and Foo Fighters out of the Ultra-Security Punishment Ward, but is informed of the actual direction of the exit by Foo Fighters. It's here that they meet Guccio, who is cowering and whimpering in a corner. Anasui approaches him casually and asks his name and if he's an enemy, Guccio responding without really understanding and pleads for his life. Anasui gestures for him to come closer, and uses Diver Down to transform Guccio into a living trap that mutilates D an G's left arm using his ribs. Anasui ultimately decides to use Diver Down to climb up a wall and out a window, escaping through the eastern side of the building.

While escaping, the three are accosted by Yo-Yo Ma who swallows the Green Baby. He reacts to the group's attacks (including Anasui's phasing of Diver Down's fist into his stomach) with pleasure. Anasui notes the awful stench of his body, making it impossible to focus and retrieve the Green Baby out from Yo-Yo Ma. While Jolyne and Foo Fighters figure out the situation, Anasui reminds them that Jolyne is still in danger in the sunlight and states that they need to head further east, opposite of the setting sun. Foo Fighters is charged with finding Yo-Yo Ma's user, while Anasui escorts Jolyne to safety, taking Yo-Yo Ma with them. They steal a fan boat which Anasui is taught how to drive by the submissive Yo-Yo Ma.

After a short while, Anasui hides the boat in a mass of leaves and grass to hide from patrolling guards. Yo-Yo Ma then comes up with a plan to camouflage the two of them and their boat, by covering Anasui and Jolyne in roots and leaves. The guards' propellers, however, reveal them. Anasui lets the guards sink their ship, telling Yo-Yo Ma to fetch another boat. Yo-Yo Ma takes care of another boat, and Anasui steals the remaining one by using Diver Down to punch through one guard's face in order to hit the other. He then leaves piloting the boat to Yo-Yo Ma.

Anasui takes notice of Jolyne's whistling, and then notices her stressed movements trying to tell him that there are holes in her tongue. He, however, interprets it as her confessing her love to him and almost kisses her before being punched by Jolyne. She attempts to get him to understand what she is saying, but he continues thinking that she wants to kiss him. However, he eventually realizes that something is wrong when Jolyne's face starts melting from Yo-Yo Ma's acidic spit. He notices her message, reading 'BE ALL EYES', and immediately attacks Yo-Yo Ma, ignoring the holes in his body and ordering Yo-Yo Ma to empty his pockets. Anasui gains more holes in his body while obtaining more information about the stand, including its 'target sensor', by attacking it. In the process, he connects one of Yo-Yo Ma's frog's brains to its 'target sensor', making it have the wants and impulses of a frog and neutralizing it as a threat. Anasui picks up Jolyne and the two wait for Foo Fighters to kill D an G.

Awaken.[]

Following Yo-Yo Ma's disappearance, Anasui and Jolyne find the empty shell of the Green Baby on the deck of the boat. As the Green Baby starts to fall into the water, Anasui goes to catch it and obtains a hand-shaped burn on his hand. The Green Baby falls into the water and Anasui panics before Jolyne repairs her tongue and points out its next location. As Jolyne goes to run for the baby, Anasui stops and shows her the anomalous effects around the Green Baby, such as a rock getting bigger the farther away it rolls, or Anasui growing larger as he is father away from the baby. Anasui and Jolyne experiment somewhat with the effects before Anasui explains how the Green Baby's powers work by drawing in the sand with a stick, hypothesizing that they'd never be able to reach the Green Baby, since they would continue to shrink the closer they got to it, meaning they could never close the distance.

The two notice guard dogs barking in the distance, and after Jolyne rushes in, Anasui ruminates on her attitude and follows after her. He prevents her from fully unraveling herself, but is unable to stop her from jumping down onto the Green Baby and shrinking exponentially. He arrives near her just in time to save her from the Green Baby's stand, Green, Green Grass Of Home's grasp. The two cling onto a microscopic cliff, but soon they are attacked by falling pebbles and make a run for it. The two start to slide off of the cliff, their fingers being bloodied from the friction, but Anasui reveals that he was leading the stand into a glass bottle that he had rolled when Jolyne first jumped down onto the Green Baby, trapping the stand and by extension, the user. 

Whitesnake: Pursuer[]

Anasui plans to kill the Green Baby, and phases the entrance of the bottle over to him and Jolyne so that they are able to escape while trapping Green, Green Grass Of Home by putting the cap back on the bottle. However, the stand starts to roll the bottle towards the two of them and almost crushes Anasui before the Green Baby calls off the attack, intrigued by Jolyne's birthmark.

The guard dogs, however, are still prowling the wetlands, with a heavy fog rolling in. Anasui once again confesses his love for Jolyne after she questions his motivations, mentioning how he was even married once before in prison. Meanwhile, the Green Baby starts eating his hair. Anasui notices people coming and orders the two of them to get down. The two people coming are revealed to be Weather Report and Foo Fighters, and as Weather Report and Jolyne hug, Anasui becomes jealous and orders Foo Fighters to tear them apart, claming that Weather Report is getting his scent on Jolyne. When Foo Fighters tries to calm him, he angrily tells her that she's nothing but plankton and doesn't understand. Anasui announces his plan to kill the Green Baby, which is met with backlash, especially from Foo Fighters. Anasui insults Foo Fighters again and asks Weather Report for his opinion, who then punches a hole through Anasui's chest and chops Foo Fighters' head in half. 

Weather Report is revealed to be nothing more than one of Whitesnake's illusions as Anasui lays dying on the ground. During a tense fight between Jolyne and Whitesnake's user, Enrico Pucci, Pucci throws Jotaro Kujo's memory disc into Anasui's dying body as he starts to fade away, ensuring that Jotaro's mind will die with Anasui. As he dies, he thinks about how Jolyne looks sad, and asks Foo Fighters to use his body as a vessel in order to save the disc. Foo Fighters uses the last of her strength to keep Anasui alive and heal his wounds, ejecting the disc but sacrificing herself in the process. 

Anasui is then taken back to the men's ward of Green Dolphin Street Prison with Weather Report.

Bohemian Rhapsody[]

In the men's ward of the prison, Weather Report states that Jolyne has left the prison, able to sense her due to the Joestar birthmark. Weather announces that he is leaving the prison to find Pucci, with Anasui insisting that he take him with him.

Following their escape, Anasui admonishes Weather Report for helping up an old man, fearing it would make them stand out. He asks Weather about his history, and Weather responds that he simply wants to kill Pucci, despite not remembering the reason why due to having his memories erased. They hide in the bathroom as they figure out a way to avoid the cops. Weather uses his stand to aid the old man, prompting him to offer them a ride.

As Anasui thumbs through the magazines in the back of the old man's car, he bemoans the lack of Disney characters on the Disney amusement park guidebook. Then, he notices something scurrying past and uses Diver Down to grab it, pulling out a twisted version of Pinocchio. He threatens Pinocchio with violence, and when Pinocchio lies about working alone, his nose stabs Anasui in the cheek. He interrogates the puppet further before being interrupted by the Seven Dwarves, who emerge after Anasui picks up an apple from the floor. Anasui becomes confused, recognizing the characters, and becomes angry when he notices Weather eating the apple and reading the book Anasui had been thumbing through. However, when Weather starts asking where Anasui is, he realizes that he is nothing but his 'soul': His body has fallen under the truck and is being run over. 

He tries to use Diver Down to pull his body up, but is unable to. The truck crashes, but Anasui and Weather land safely with the help of Weather's stand ability. Anasui interrogates Pinocchio further, ultimately destroying him. He wakes up back in his own body, but notices that the old man driver is acting strangely. He questions the driver's bloody mouth, chipped nail, tail, and Glasgow smile. The driver attacks him as a wolf, and Anasui is unable to summon Diver Down, unknowingly having been separated from his body once more. Anasui, from a passing bus, uses Diver Down to cut off the wolf's head, and sees himself once again.

Anasui's soul runs through Orlando looking for its body, being accused by a chocolate shop owner of trashing the store. In truth, his body had ran past just earlier, and despite Anasui's bribe (that he stole from the cash register), he is forced to change his appearance using Diver Down to avoid the police by phasing chocolates into his face. However, when he spits them out, they turn into small goats that tell the story of a wolf who ate several baby goats and subsequently had his stomach cut open and filled with rocks by the mother before being drowned. Anasui then finds himself turning into the wolf from the story.

He goes to punch the goat reading the story, but attracts the attention of the mother unintentionally via the pleas of the goats inside his stomach. He tries to punch it into the ground, but the mother unfolds itself, being made of paper. Anasui runs down the alleyway and slams a heavy iron door, using Diver Down to change the inner workings so that it wouldn't open. The goats, however, simply open it as if it was paper. He attempts again, but fails, the mother goat cutting open his side. In order to escape, he has Diver Down phase into the wall and pull himself along to the door, momentarily escaping and hijacking a cop car. However, the car door opens to the alleyway from before, the goats jumping out and cutting open his stomach with rocks at the ready. 

Anasui, stuck in a wildly veering cop car, falls out on top of Weather Report, in the middle of re-enacting Vincent Van Gogh's suicide. Anasui starts to melt, his own flesh drowning him. However, Weather succeeds in defeating the stand by tricking Van Gogh into creating a new story, featuring the 'Put-Back Hero' who returns things to the way they were. Since the stand caused stories to come true, this successfully reversed its effects, saving Anasui.

Heavy Weather[]

Anasui and Weather Report make their way outside the hospital where Jolyne and Ermes fight against Donatello Versus' stand, Under World.

After Versus uses Under World to deliver Weather Report's memory disc to Weather Report inside the hospital, he regains his memories and activates Heavy Weather. Anasui is shocked by Weather's new attitude, but follows him nevertheless in order to find Jolyne. 

Following the subliminal effect spreading across the city, Anasui confronts Weather Report, who asks Anasui to kill him. Anasui is more upset about Weather not taking him to Jolyne than anything, but quickly gets serious when Weather informs him that Pucci is nearby. Weather promises that he will take Anasui to Jolyne after Pucci is dead, if Anasui promises to kill him afterwards.

Anasui checks for Pucci in the sewers, but only sees snails. Anasui suggests an abandoned car as a possible hiding spot before Weather gets his right leg chopped off by Pucci. He deflects a batch of snails coming towards him using Diver Down, and starts turning into a snail himself. However, he uses Diver Down on Weather to give him a makeshift leg and allow him to attack Pucci. Pucci reflects the sunlight on Anasui to make him turn into a snail faster, making him unable to focus enough to use his stand. He tries to attack once more, but is beaten into the asphalt by Whitesnake, who reveals that he has temporarily blinded himself to escape the effects of Heavy Weather.

As Whitesnake prepares the killing blow, Weather Report creates blood spikes on the ground to trap Whitesnake. Using his stand powers, Pucci grabs hold of Anasui, controlling his mind and using his eyes. Anasui lists off the blood spikes and tells Pucci the way out, but fails to tell him about the spike forming on his shoulder until it is too late. Anasui watches as Weather Report almost kills Pucci, but a car crashes into the one they were by, carrying Jolyne, Emporio, Ermes, and Versus. Jolyne is about to attack what she believes to be the priest, but Anasui uses Diver Down to reveal it as Donatello Versus' corpse. 

As the others notice Weather's dead body, Anasui comforts them, remarking on his own callousness which like Weather's was changed by his will to die for those who rescued him. He states that the time Weather had with Jolyne and the others were the happiest times in his life. Anasui then reveals that in the moments before his death, Weather tricked Whitesnake into extracting his stand as a disc, which he has now left behind for Jolyne and the others to use.

C-Moon[]

On the car ride to Cape Canaveral Space Station, Anasui notices Jolyne asleep on his chest and comments on how cute she is. He then produces a wedding ring that he bought from a prison merchant, softly placing it on her finger. However, Ermes startles her by pointing out a large alligator and she unknowingly throws it at the alligator. Anasui repeatedly asks her to open her hands when he notices, weeping. 

Anasui resolves to find Pucci as soon as possible and not wait for Jotaro to arrive, and as gravity suddenly shifts by 90 degrees, he uses Diver Down on the road to hold on to everyone and keep them from falling, with the exception of Ermes who is struck by debris. He motions that if they continue climbing the rail, they could get to the space station, and Jolyne makes up her mind to kill Pucci. Anasui thinks to himself about how in love he is with Jolyne. As they are on the sideways space station, Anasui watches as Jolyne is attacked by C-Moon, Pucci's new stand, shouting warnings for her and eventually using Diver Down to attack C-Moon. He is pelted with inside-out tiles and starts to fall, but Jolyne uses Stone Free to hold onto him and wrap around C-Moon's neck at the same time. Anasui warns her not to be reckless, and when C-Moon puts Jolyne's string in danger of turning inside-out, he phases Diver Down into it to have his own arm turn inside-out. 

When Jolyne herself turns inside-out due to a direct attack, her strings dissolve and he uses Diver Down to anchor himself to the floor. He sprints off towards Pucci after Emporio tells him that Jolyne is still alive. When he meets Pucci, he creates a decoy version of himself out of a civilian's corpse using Diver Down and tries to attack him. However, Pucci turns himself inside out and avoids the attack, countering and just barely missing Anasui, who floats off and grabs a pole to keep himself from falling.

Made In Heaven[]

While Jolyne is narrowly saved from death by Jotaro and Ermes, Anasui joins them in surrounding Pucci. However, as Pucci floats into the air and starts to attain 'heaven', Anasui climbs onto the space shuttle and attacks Pucci with Diver Down. Pucci's new stand, Made in Heaven, emerges out of his arm.

As Anasui tries to attack Pucci, a bright light fills the area and the group wakes up in Cape Canaveral with gravity restored to its normal state. Anasui is touched by Jolyne worrying about him, but is soon confused by the effects of Made In Heaven when he accidentally drops a heavy rock on Ermes. Suddenly, Pucci begins to attack the group using the abilities he gained after attaining heaven.

Anasui takes this moment to ask Jotaro for Jolyne's hand in marriage, and is disappointed when a confused Jotaro gives him no answer. Jolyne clings to him for comfort, but is taken away by Jotaro a short time afterwards who commands everyone to huddle close. Despite this, Anasui still takes a blow that would have been fatal for Jotaro by phasing Diver Down into Jotaro's body. He gets wounded again shortly after on the hand by Pucci, but as the group flies through the air via Kiss' ability, Anasui posits that there is one way they could kill Pucci as he directs Emporio towards the marshes.

He tells Jotaro that since Pucci has no choice but to pick them off one by one, when Pucci goes in to kill him, he'll give Jotaro a signal for him to stop time and kill Pucci. He states that he is able to phase into anyone when they're as close together as they are, allowing him to take fatal blows. He states he will take the first blow, and the signal will be transferred through his stand, specifically instructing Jotaro to stop time after Pucci's deathblow, sacrificing himself. This idea shocks the others, but Anasui is confident in his plan due to feeling lucky, joking that he might even propose to Jolyne properly once the battle is won. He is subsequently shocked when Jolyne tells him it's alright for him to ask her to marry him, remarking that his idea carries hope. However, the group is interrupted by Pucci.

As they land in the marshes and Anasui prepares himself, he is punched through the chest by a Stand, but it is Stone Free, manipulated by Pucci's Made in Heaven to deal the killing blow instead. Forced to choose between saving Jolyne and trying to reach Pucci, Jotaro fails to kill him. Anasui perishes, his body sinking into the water. Ermes, Jotaro and eventually Jolyne are killed shortly thereafter, but Emporio survives with Weather Report's disc. Pucci puts his plan into motion, accelerating time to the point where the universe dies and is reborn. Every living creature and their souls are carried over and reborn in this new universe, where Pucci plans to allow everyone to know their fate and the result of each of their fated actions, which is his vision of heaven. However, Pucci chose not to carry over the souls of those who opposed him, including Anasui.

Pucci returns time to normal shortly before it can make a full loop and fulfill his plan in order to kill Emporio. However, Emporio uses Weather Report to surprise and kill Pucci, avenging his fallen friends. With Pucci dead, the universe resets once more.

Annakiss

Anasui's counterpart

Alternate Universe[]

With the universe resetting upon Pucci's death and undoing his actions, Anasui is reborn as Anakiss. In this timeline, Anakiss is seemingly never incarcerated and is the boyfriend of the reborn Jolyne Irene. They are on their way to ask her father for his blessing so that they might be married. On the way, they encounter the reborn Eldis (Anime only name) and Alternate Weather Report, as well as a tearful Emporio, who is the only person who still remembers what they all went through together.

All Star Battle (PS3)[]

Anasui makes his game debut as a DLC character in the PS3 title. He was confirmed for the 4th campaign, alongside Vanilla Ice. He is the only playable male ally for Part 6. For the English localization of the game, he was given the name "Narc Anastasia".

Gameplay-wise, Anasui is a trap-heavy fighter, not unlike Mariah in Heritage for the Future. As one of the mass majority of playable characters in the game with the "Stand" Style, Anasui can turn Diver Down on/off, changing movesets, as well as having access to the Stand Rush ability returning from the Capcom game, being able to attack in conjunction with his Stand.

  • Throw - Didn't see it coming!: Anasui yanks the opponent toward him before delivering a back-handed punch.

While Diver Down is off:

  • Shut yer trap!: Anasui turns around and performs a downward reverse kick. A middle attack that cannot be blocked if the opponent is crouching. Anasui's skills can be performed instantly following this move.
  • And... RELEASE!: By consuming 1/8th of the Heart Heat Gauge, Anasui summons Diver Down to punch the ground, leaving a trap. If the opponent steps on it, they'll be sent into the air. A low attack that cannot be blocked if the opponent is not crouching. The attack can be charged for more damage and to send the opponent flying higher. (Comboable)
  • You're in range!: Anasui summons Diver Down to punch at an upward angle. This move doubles as an anti-air. If it hits, DD enters the opponent, beats them up from the inside, and comes out of their back to launch them into the ground.
  • Meat and Bone Suspension: A Throw. Anasui summons Diver Down to fly forward. If it connects, DD rearranges the structure of the opponent's legs into a spring, before delivering a downward punch that sends them bouncing extremely high into the air. (Comboable)

While Diver Down is on:

  • How awful...: A Throw. Diver Down reaches outward, and if it connects, enters the opponent, beats them up from the inside, and comes out to kick them to the ground.
  • Dive!: Diver Down dives into the floor and comes back up to attack the opponent, the attack depending on the attack button inputted.
    • If Light, DD pops out to punch the opponent's legs, tripping them in a low attack that cannot be blocked if they are not crouching.
    • If Medium, DD leaps out to deliver a downward punch that knocks the down hard enough for them to bounce in a middle attack that cannot be blocked if they are crouching (Comboable).
    • If Heavy, DD comes out to deliver an advancing barrage of punches that knock the opponent into the air on the final hit (Comboable through Puttsun Cancel). A Stand Rush skill that Anasui can disconnect from to attack the opponent while it is executing.
  • Go to hell!: This move can only be used in mid-air. Diver Down swings downward while suspending Anasui in the air. A Stand Rush skill that Anasui can disconnect from to attack the opponent while it is executing.

Anasui's HHA, "Give me your blessing!", has Diver Down rapidly punch the ground before entering it, resulting in a barrage of uppercuts at the opponent's feet from the floor and sending them flying backward. DD then reappears from behind them and pummels them again, knocking them to Anasui's feet. The HHA can be delayed for a few seconds.

Anasui's GHA, "Diving in", has Diver Down sink into the ground once more, appearing in front of the opponent to lunge at them, regardless of range or orientation. If the attack connects, DD dives into the opponent's body, before destroying them from the inside with a relentless combo of punches and kicks in many directions. The opponent is flung around by the internal force into the air as Anasui expresses DD's ability to kill them from the inside-out. As he finishes talking, DD ends the attack with a powerful kick strong enough to pierce through the target's back and send them flying.

Eyes of Heaven (PS3/PS4)[]

Anasui was confirmed for the game alongside Pucci with C-Moon, Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion), and Joshu Higashikata. As a Stand User, Anasui is one of many characters with wildly varied abilities that grant him uniqueness in battle.

  • Style Action - And... RELEASE!: Diver Down performs a single kick forward, leaving the energy of the kick in the form of a trap. If it hits an opponent, they will become a carrier of the energy, damaging and blowing back both themselves and their partner if they make contact with each other. If it hits a wall, the energy will be left as a trap, damaging and blowing back any opponent that gets too close. If Style Action is held, Diver Down can charge its power in order to increase the damage dealt and the number of stored kicks up to 15, and eventually make the traps unblockable. Anasui may have up to 3 traps active at a given time, including any affecting his opponents.
  • Trait - Wall!: Anasui can perform a second jump off a wall by sending Diver Down into it and vaulting off its leg.
  • You're in range!: Anasui summons Diver Down to punch at an upward angle. If it hits, DD dives into an opponent, beats them up from the inside, and comes out of their back to launch them into the ground. Anasui is invincible from the beginning of the dive until the last punch is thrown.
  • Go to hell!: Anasui and Diver Down leap into the air before landing with a roll. If DD hits an opponent during this period, it will make them bounce high into the air and dive into the ground when it lands. From the ground, DD will unleash an upward barrage of 14 punches on the falling target, the last hit launching them into the air.
  • Diver Down! Dive!: Diver Down moves at high speeds through the ground as Anasui rides it, and can steer left and right. This move can be used for traversal or closing the distance on his targets, assisting in evasion through the former. The activating input can be held to increase the time and therefore distance he covers. While active, Anasui's stamina gauge quickly drains, and he will damage opponents he makes contact with but will stop immediately upon doing so. He may instantly cancel the skill by jumping the instant he stops moving.
  • I dove into your body itself.: Anasui sends Diver Down to protect either himself or his partner. If held, a green circle will appear at Anasui's feet indicating the range he must be in to have DD protect his partner, as well as the maximum range from Anasui the ability will persist for them. While active, DD will automatically counterattack any non-projectiles and non-DHA attacks with a barrage of 15 punches. Anasui will be unable to use any skills that require the use of DD, and attempting to use Normal or Powerful Attacks will result in the ability canceling. If DD is protecting Anasui himself, he may also cancel the skill at any time by reinputting the skill. If his partner is attacked while protected by DD, Anasui will absorb a portion of the damage.
  • EX - Go to hell!: Anasui is invincible until he lands.
  • EX - Diver Down! Dive!: Anasui is invincible to projectiles while moving, will now knock opponents he makes contact with into the air without stopping, and can freely cancel his movement with a Normal Attack, his Style Action, or any skill.
  • Dual Heat Attack - I dove in.: Identical to its performance in All Star Battle, though executes faster for the sake of brevity.

JoJolities[]

  • Give me your blessing!: Anasui must use a fully charged Style Action. (200 Points)
