Magent Magent

Magenta Magenta is an antagonist featured in Part VII: Steel Ball Run.

Personality
He has bad habits, such as licking his own snot, and speaks with a grossly irritating voice. Magenta Magenta also has a fondness for airplanes, wondering why he and Wekapipo were unable to take an airplane to intercept Gyro and Johnny.

Synopsis
When first seen Magenta Magenta is along with his partner in crime, Wekapipo, and waiting to ambush Gyro and Johnny. His disgusting habits are mentioned by his partner and upon battle he quickly shows his capabilities by disabling Gyro's steel balls with his defensive stand. Getting carried away Gyro is able to outwit him and heavily scars his face, and figures that Magenta Magenta is dead. This is later shown to be false when he ambushes his ex-partner while trying to kill Stephen Steel. He ended up wrapping himself with dynamite and tried to blow Wekapipo up, but the impact sends him into a river, where he hopelessly awaits rescue by Diego.

Trivia

 * In chapter 62 he finds himself at the bottom of a river, completely tied up, with his stand's power active so that he does not drown. He thinks that all he can do is wait for Diego to come and help him, but that help will never come. At this point the narration voice says that eventually Magenta stopped waiting and "stopped thinking". Since that's the same end Kars met in Part II, Magenta is probably his alternate universe counterpart.
 * Him being at the bottom of the river also echoes the death of Anubis who was thrown at the bottom of the sea by a cow. Anubis was forced to stay underwater until he rusted to his death.
 * Magenta's appearance, particularly his hair and face, is very similar to that of Marc Bolan, the lead singer of T.Rex (who performed 20th Century Boy). It is not known whether or not this is coincidental.
