Forever

Stardust Crusaders (1988)

Forever is among the seven Stand users deployed by Enya the Hag to assassinate the Joestar Group.↗

Forever confronts Jotaro and company off the coast of Vietnam on their way from Hong Kong to Singapore during their journey to Egypt, right after the confrontation with the Imposter Captain Tennille. Jotaro, his comrades, and Captain Tennille's seamen approach a large oil carrier and get aboard, only to find out that nobody is on the deck nor in the cabins. The only living being they meet is Forever, a seemingly normal orangutan, lying in his cage.↗↗

Attracted to Merlai Anne, Forever leaves his cage, kills all of the remaining seamen and ambushes the girl in the shower. He is stopped by Jotaro, only to quickly regain control of the situation by exploiting the fact that Jotaro and the others couldn't imagine the enemy Stand to be the entire ship. At the same time, he binds the whole Joestar Group, slowly crushing them in the metal of the ship.↗↗

Caught by surprise by the now unbound Jotaro, Forever begs for mercy. Jotaro refuses the ape's proposal, saying that Forever has rejected the rules of the animal world, becoming just as corrupt as a human being, and brutally beats him with a barrage of Star Platinum's punches. With Forever incapacitated, the ship begins to break apart and sink into the sea as Strength's power fades. The heroes leave the ape for dead as they continue their journey.↗↗

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (OVA)

In the OVA, Forever is among one of the five Stand users sent to kill the Joestar Group by Enya.↗

After the Joestar Group 's SPW plane crashes in the Pacific Ocean, the group wait in a raft for somebody to help them. They encounter Strength and climb aboard, but strangely encounter no trace of the ship's crew.↗

The group eventually finds Forever in a cage. Joseph calls Forever a "huge monkey," to which Kakyoin replies that he is an orangutan. Forever points and taps at the lock of his cage in an attempt to get the Joestar Group to get closer, but they do not respond. Disappointed, Forever pulls out a book. One of the Joestar Group's pilots gets closer to Forever, comments on him as a "smart monkey." Kakyoin warns the pilot that the orangutan might rip his arm off, scaring him.↗

Shortly after Avdol defeats Polnareff, the two SPW pilots enter the room. The group tell them that their enemy is defeated. Forever then uses Strength to kill the first pilot by impaling his head with a hook. The second pilot gets shot by bolts used as projectiles, which the Joestar Group narrowly avoids. Jotaro catches one of the bolts with Star Platinum and drops it on the floor. The bolt begins flinching and moves into Forever's hand, revealing him to be the Stand user.↗

Forever encases Jotaro in a thick metal pipe, but Jotaro responds by using Star Finger to stab his forehead. Enraged, Forever tightens the pipe as Jotaro tries to punch his way through it. Just as he begins to indulge in his "victory," his head is cut in half by Polnareff's Silver Chariot. Strength then begins to disappear, revealing the small boat that it was bound to. The group uses this boat to get to India. When Enya informs DIO of Polnareff's betrayal, she refers to Forever as "useless."↗
