Esidisi


 * The character featured in this article is commonly reffered to as "ACDC".

Esidisi (エシディシ Eshidishi) is one of the major villains featured in Part II: Battle Tendency.

Personality
Like Wamuu and Kars, Esidisi is very confident in his powers and abilities and see humans as inferior. However, he has a more violent temper than the others to the point that he has to cry and sob to calm himself down.

Synopsis
Esidisi, along with Wamuu and Kars, were discovered by Nazis in Rome. He later appears with Wamuu and Kars in pursuit of the Red Stone of Asia held by Lisa Lisa before helping in attacking a Nazi facility and killing Mark, a Nazi Caesar befriended.

After learning of the whereabouts of the Red Stone of Asia, he attacked and killed Loggins, initiating a fight with Joseph Joestar. In his battle with Joseph, he tries to intimidate him by disabling Joseph's deceptive tactics. Esidisi cuts the hidden rope through which Joseph plans to send "ripple" energy to hurt him. Nevertheless, he falls for Joseph's more sophisticated deception, for Joseph has predicted his action and employed the cut-and-restore rope trick on the rope.

His bones and muscles are destroyed but his brain and blood vessels possess Suzie Q, who takes the Red Stone of Asia and sends it to Cars in Switzerland. Esidisi then turns Suzie Q into a "blood bomb", however Joseph and Caesar attack Suzie Q at the same time, their ripples cancelling each other out and keeping Suzie Q unharmed, but destroying Esidisi.

Abilities
Esidisi uses "the skill of fire": he raises his body temperature in order to heat his blood to 500 degrees Celsius. He then extends his blood vessels out of his body and makes them into long, prehensile needles with which he injects his hot blood into enemies.

Esidisi had also traveled to ancient China and knew Sun Tzu's theory that "all warfare is based on deception".

Trivia

 * In the game Imperishable Night from Touhou Project the comment for Kaguya's Spell Card Divine Treasure "Salamander Shield" (Lunatic) references Esidisi.
