02Appearance
Nukesaku is a small, pale-skinned male vampire. He has long dark unkempt hair spiked backwards and a large widow's peak. Nukesaku wears a dark jumpsuit with an assorted vest and scarf on top. He also wears boots, a loincloth, multiple ringlets on his wrists and ankles, and an animal print taqiyah.↗↗
Nukesaku's back is the face and physique of a woman, used to disguise himself and fool the Joestar Group. Disguised as a female, Nukesaku wears simple earrings, a light dress, and a stylish belt. However due to his clumsiness, he forgets to fixate his hands to match his body.↗
03Personality
Nukesaku is the dim-witted and loyal servant of DIO. He is looked down by the others within DIO's mansion, and ordered to not interfere in the climactic battle. DIO's henchmen seem to detest him so much that he was nicknamed idiot (抜作, nukesaku). Although he accepts his nickname, he acts snide when the other henchmen are defeated before him, mocking them for being the useless ones. Since Nukesaku lacks combat strength, he acts as a crying woman to lure his opponents to him. However, he overestimates his bizarre ability and immortality as he is easily defeated by the heroes who coerce him to reveal DIO's location.↗↗↗↗↗
04Abilities
As a vampire, Nukesaku has the natural ability to dislocate his body parts. In conjunction with his "Female Face", he can use it to trick people into believing he's actually just an innocent woman.↗
Female Face
Nukesaku has the face and physique of a woman on his backside. Using the female face, he can use it to talk and make expressions. While somewhat useful, he often forgets to fixate his body to match the way this face is looking.↗↗

Stardust Crusaders (1989)
Nukesaku is refused any involvement in the climactic battle with the Joestar Group by his allies, who threaten to kill him should he interfere. However, after hearing that DIO's remaining loyalists were defeated, he hopes to gain the chance to prove his value.↗
Nukesaku attempts to use his ability to trick Jotaro and company into believing he's an innocent woman trapped in DIO's mansion. He, however, is greeted with a punch to the face by Star Platinum, and it is then that Jotaro tells him that he was careless, due to the fact that he had not reversed his hands as well. Nukesaku notes that he forgot his thumbs pointed in the opposite direction when he was clasping his hands.↗↗↗↗
