02Appearance
Oingo is a young man of average to above-average height and a muscular build, having long, dark hair and a long face. His attire consists of a T-shirt bearing a stylized version of his name, over which he wears a light vest, baggy jeans, gloves, and an unusually tall cap with an oversized visor. In the anime, his shirt bears a stylized design of his Khnum 's Glory God card.↗
03Personality
Like all of DIO's servants, Oingo is an evil character, although in a more petty way than most. He is an assassin and thus has no problem trying to murder the heroes. In a lighter way, Oingo is also petty enough to pick on people weaker than himself; when he is frustrated that an assassination attempt went wrong, he punches a random man on the street whose face happens to anger him and happily takes his fallen wallet with him.↗
Oingo has an unshakeable confidence in the combination of his Khnum and Tohth, which allows them to set up assassinations easily. This confidence leaves him unprepared for the stroke of bad luck that befalls him during his and Boingo's "battle" against the Joestar Group. He shows a level of determination in keeping up his disguise as Jotaro while trying to escape, but in the end, he recognized defeat and comes to believe that killing the heroes is impossible.↗
Oingo has a very close relationship with his brother Boingo and is protective of his shy little brother. He tries his best to stay with his brother at all times, and tells him not to talk to strangers because there are "bad men" everywhere. When Boingo decides to take revenge and try to kill the heroes himself, Oingo shows pride in his little brother's spiritual growth.↗
04Abilities
Stand
Khnum confers Oingo the ability to remodel his appearance, voice and even smell. This allows him to put on several disguises when trying to assassinate his targets.↗
05Story
SPOILERS
Stardust Crusaders (1989)
Oingo is first shown threatening one comic artist interested in Tohth to stay away from Boingo and then decides with help from Boingo's Stand Tohth to wait four hours for the next bus, as the Stand warns them about an accident with the bus. The brothers then look into Tohth for the next prediction and realize that they were meant to poison the Joestar group's tea. Oingo secretly assaults one of the waiters at a nearby restaurant and takes his place.↗
Initially, the group decides to order tea, but a suspicious Joseph Joestar decides to order the unopened coke instead. This seems to prevent Oingo from poisoning the drink at first, but an angry customer reacts to the warm coke he was served, causing the Joestar group to order the tea that Oingo successfully poisons.↗
Next, the brother consult Tohth again and the book predicts that Jotaro will be taken out by a bomb. Encouraged, Oingo breaks into the heroes' car and tries to sneak in a bomb enveloped in an orange peel. However, Joseph and Polnareff return and Oingo is forced to disguise himself as Jotaro to save himself for the moment.↗
Oingo initially tries to prevent the bomb by throwing it out of the window, but Iggy fetches the bomb and brings it back into the car. Polnareff then demonstrates a cigarette trick, in which he lets a cigarette fall into his mouth, and calmly breathes out the smoke, and asks "Jotaro" to show him the trick with five cigarettes. Oingo pulls off the trick but fails when he is forced to prove himself by drinking the juice while the cigarettes smolder.↗
Fed up with having to deal with Joseph and Polnareff, Oingo runs off to the rocks to escape, using a bathroom break as an excuse, and resolves to escape by changing his appearance behind the rocks again. However, Polnareff, considering the truth of "Jotaro"'s statement, throws the disguised bomb out of the car. Oingo then accidentally steps on the bomb, causing it to blow up and split his face in two.↗
Boingo then arrives and resolves to defeat the Joestar group on his own, causing Oingo to become proud of his younger brother's growth. However, the man they assaulted earlier returns with other thugs, who beat up the two brothers and send them to the hospital. Meanwhile, the real Jotaro returns from visiting the hospital, and, happening to be thirsty, picks out an orange to eat.↗
Oingo is later mentioned by Hol Horse, who convinces Boingo to help him, asking if he wants to avenge his brother. Hol Horse states that Oingo will be in the hospital for another month, due to his injuries from the orange bomb.↗
