J. Geil is a minor but consequential antagonist in Stardust Crusaders. An assassin and the son of DIO's advisor Enya the Hag, he rides with Hol Horse to destroy the Joestar Group. As the murderer of Sherry Polnareff, he is the man Jean Pierre Polnareff hunts for revenge, wielding the Stand Hanged Man.
J. Geil is a brawny man of average or slightly above height whose defining oddity is a pair of right hands. His looks are strikingly ugly: a bald skull rising to an unnaturally high crown, a hollow face set with blank, squinting eyes, a small nose, and a mouth nearly stripped of teeth. Flashbacks to his youth show him with long, wispy hair. He usually wears a plain shirt and trousers under a leather jacket with arm warmers, and when first seen he hides his features beneath a dark purple turban-like cap and veil.
By preference J. Geil keeps himself out of sight and leans on a partner, which made him a natural fit with Hol Horse; the two coordinate their Stands, Geil striking from concealment once Horse shatters the glass his power depends on. He is bound to his mother by a strange link that made her suffer the very wounds he took in his final moments. Away from the fight, his character is monstrous: a twisted, sexually depraved predator ranking among the worst of DIO's servants, a serial rapist and killer of young women who boasts of his crimes without a flicker of guilt.
J. Geil earned Polnareff's undying hatred by raping and killing his sister Sherry, and he had claimed many other young women before her. In the desert he sends Hanged Man to isolate Polnareff from the group, turning him into easy prey; when Avdol steps in, the pairing of Geil and Hol Horse quickly cuts him down. Consumed by rage, Polnareff nearly dies the same way until Kakyoin pulls him clear. The two flee by jeep, but Hanged Man tears the vehicle apart, and Polnareff finally works out the Stand's secret: it is made of light and darts between reflective surfaces at blinding speed. Predicting its path, Silver Chariot stabs it and exposes Geil's location.
Geil is not beaten yet. He gathers a crowd and sends his Stand hiding within their eyes, but Kakyoin fixes the onlookers' gaze on a coin while Polnareff flings dirt into everyone's eyes, then slashes the escaping Hanged Man with Silver Chariot. Cornered against a gate with nowhere left to run, Geil is cut down by a storm of stabs; hurled upward by the final blow, he lands strung upside down on the gate, a grim echo of the Tarot card his Stand embodies.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

There are no women on Namek. That isn't an oversight, it's the biology. Why we handed Piccolo the one thing his own species rules out, and why it had to be trap soul....
