Ringo Roadagain

Background

From birth, Ringo was sickly. As a young boy, he had fragile skin and was often ill. Ringo's father was drafted and sent to war, later escaped, was imprisoned, and then died because of a disease. Ringo's family, branded as traitors, were forced to travel across the country. Ringo, at the age of ten, woke up one night to a large man in military uniform by his bed and his family, his mother and two sisters, killed underneath the table that had a bloody knife sticking on top of it.↗

Three years before the events of Steel Ball Run, Ringo acquired his Stand, Mandom. He then entered Funny Valentine 's service.↗

The World of Man

Ringo Roadagain is dispatched during the 4th Stage and sets up camp in a cabin located in a forest where the racers will pass through. He purposefully activates Mandom 's power regularly while the racers cross the forest, making them lose their way. A contestant named Gaucho confronts him but Ringo refuses to let him go or help him, saying that he'll only let him free after he kills him. Gaucho leaves for the moment.↗

Gaucho shouts and challenges Ringo while Johnny Joestar, Gyro Zeppeli, and Hot Pants observe from afar. Ringo prepares to draw, and although his hand shakes from fear, Ringo argues that it's better than to be frozen by fear. Analyzing the situation, Ringo sees that Gaucho's gun will be inaccurate to the right at their current distance and requests that Gaucho is five steps out of the accurate range. Angry, Gaucho draws and shoots first but merely grazes Ringo's shoulder, then completely misses.↗

Johnny, Gyro, and Hot Pants return and confront Ringo as they too cannot get out of the forest. Ringo asks Johnny to be the first duelist. Hot Pants then attacks from behind with Cream Starter and melts Ringo's gun hand, but Ringo uses his power Mandom to rewind time to 6 seconds ago. He avoids the ambush. Revealing his Stand, Ringo explains its power and says again that they must kill him to escape. Ringo shoots Hot Pants's hand.↗

However, Gyro returns with a renewed fighting spirit. He throws his Steel Ball through the walls into Ringo's face, forcing the gunslinger to rewind time. However, Gyro has detected an old wound in Ringo, a damaged collarbone on the left shoulder that would paralyze Ringo if it was broken. Breaking in, Gyro confronts his opponent. The two attack at the same time. Gyro is shot in the throat but Ringo's collarbone is broken, paralyzing him.↗

Personality

When a deserter killed his family and threatened to kill him, Ringo awakened his fighting spirit and shot the man dead to defend himself.↗
