02Appearance
Chaka is an Egyptian man of average height and muscular build. He has dark hair that is fashioned into a ponytail. Chaka has prominent cheekbones and lips, and his eyebrows curve upwards towards the outer ends. He wears a tunic, a cape, a thin waist sash, wristbands, and ragged pants that are torn above his shins. He goes barefoot, wearing no shoes.↗
03Personality
In his brief appearance, Chaka is a belittled meek farmhand. When he unsheathes Anubis his demeanour and expression morph into a cold-blooded killer. He is manipulated by Anubis into battling the Joestar Group. Though an amateur swordsman in reality, the blade fuels his hubris. Polnareff in-particular compliments Chaka for confronting him directly.↗↗↗
04Abilities
Stand
Chaka temporarily wields the Stand Anubis when he picks up the sword. It is a Sentient Stand that possesses Chaka's mind and makes him a deadly fighter despite his lack of experience. Polnareff notes that his stance and grip are like an amateur's.↗↗
While fighting Polnareff, he prefers to hide behind pillars to perform sneak attacks with the sword's capability of becoming selectively intangible.↗
05Story
SPOILERS
Stardust Crusaders (1989)
Chaka is a young farmer traveling with his father and his father's two companions near The Nile. His father berates him for falling behind, and mockingly asks whether Chaka is actually his son. Meanwhile, Chaka notices a sword on the ground. Chaka's father attempts to unsheathe it, but the sword refuses to budge, even with the man and his two friends attempting to pull the sword out together. Chaka asks twice whether he can try to do it too.↗
As Chaka claims that it was an accident, his father's friend attempts to pull the sword out but his head gets sliced open instead. The sword begins speaking to Chaka, revealing itself as the Stand Anubis. Anubis takes control of Chaka, claiming to make him a master swordsman. Chaka's personality immediately changes after being possessed. He declares that his father and the other guy deserved to die, and now he'll cut down the remaining guy as well.↗↗
Chaka confronts Polnareff at Kom Ombo Temple, introducing himself and his Stand for a one-on-one battle. Polnareff praises him for getting right to the point and the two begin their duel. After Chaka unsheathes Anubis, Polnareff is confused due to Chaka's grip and stance being that of an amateur's. However, Chaka dashes behind a pillar and then slashes through it using Anubis's selective intangibility to cut Polnareff.↗
On top of the pillar he just cut, Chaka attempts to attack Polnareff by having the sword phase through the pillar as it falls. However, Polnareff shoots Silver Chariot 's sword at a nearby pillar, having it rebound and impale Chaka's neck. Chaka lies on the ground immobilized after his defeat, though Polnareff mentions that he hasn't killed him.↗↗
