About
Ringo Roadagain is first introduced as a man standing by the curtains near the door of his small, worn out log cabin located within a orchard. After walking out of the door the readers find that out that he is a tall and slender man probably in his late twenties ranging to his early to mid thirties. Unbeknownst to the contests of the Steel Ball Run wandering within the orchard, they were all under the affect of his stand, Mandom. It is safe to assume to that Ringo Roadagain reiterates the same line over to people lost within the orchard "You'll find your way out after you kill me."

Gaucho, thinking Ringo was playing with him in someway had enough, and thus challenged him to a duel. This is where the readers, Johnny, Gyro, and Hot Pants find out his uncanny ability to "analyze" things. A pissed off Gaucho foolishly charges and fires a couple of shots at him. All of which were futile except one that scrapped the bottom left corner of his neck. Ringo, firing a lone bullet got it into contact with Gaucho's heart. After "analyzing" he concluded "although it has reached the heart, it didn't destroy it completely." After taking one step closer to Gaucho, he fired once more and deprived Gaucho of his existence.

After seeing this unfold right in front of them, Johnny, Gyro, and Hot Pants devise a plan to kill Ringo which ultimately failed since Ringo countered with his stand's abilities. A fight ensue, leaving both Gyro and Ringo injured, and Johnny as well as Hot Pants unable to continue fighting. It is during the fight that the readers find out that the president, Funny Valentine, hired him to retrieve the corpse parts from Johnny and Gyro.

In the midst of the fight between Gyro and Ringo we find out more about Ringo's past. From birth, Ringo was a sickly young boy. He had fragile skin and was often ill. Ringo's father was drafted and sent to war, later escaped, imprisoned, and then died because of a disease. Ringo's family, branded as traitors, were forced to travel across the country. Ringo, 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. The large man looming over Ringo then tried to rape him but was greeted with a gun, that Ringo slyly took from the large man, pointing towards him. Ringo quickly shot the man as he charged at him. It was after this event that the formerly sick young boy experienced a newfound power. He overcame a wall that he called "The True Man's World," that he believed it was the only path he could pursue.

Gyro follows Ringo into his log cabin hoping to end the fight. A colossal showdown ensues between Gyro and Ringo. Gyro sends a devastating attack aimed at Ringo's collarbone which will paralyze Ringo's whole left side if it made contact. After a shard of wood pierces Ringo right below his left side of the shoulder, Gyro finishes him off by throwing one steel ball right at Ringo. Before his death Ringo utters, "Welcome...to the True Man's World."
