The Immortals (イモータルズ Imōtaruzu?) are a rival gang in Jet Set Radio Future. Their home turf is the Skyscraper District and Pharaoh Park.
Overview[]
Appearance[]
The Immortals appear as mummies, wrapped head to toe in bandages, with only the left eye visible. They wear sand colored shorts with hieroglyphs all over them held up with gold colored suspenders. They wear brown fedoras with a light brown hatband, gold ankhs on a chain around the neck, as well as thick gold bracelets around the wrist. Their skates are gold, and resemble Egyptian death masks.
Personality[]
The Immortals are a mummy-like gang with cryptic movements and dialogue. Their dialogue showcases this as they bring up death and sacrifices during the encounters against them. They are also shown to be aggressive towards the GG's as they claim they will "rue" the day the went against them and even threaten to drown their opponents in the River of the Dead during their final encounter. Seemingly, they are delusional to the point where they believe they are a part of the royal Egyptian family.
Role in Jet Set Radio[]
The Immortals debut in Jet Set Radio Future after the player completes chapter 3. DJ Professor K reports that Yoyo is kidnapped and that he believes that the Immortals are responsible for doing so. He then tells that the only way to disturb them out of their sleep is to cover up all of their graffiti, which are all located in the Skyscraper District and Pharaoh Park, Kibogaoka Hill, and Hikage Street.
Once the player has covered up all of their graffiti in the three areas, they return to Pharaoh Park to deal with the Immortals. A game of Tagger's Tag ensues and the player is victorious. Then, the Immortals flee to Highway Zero.
In Highway Zero, another match of Tagger's Tag ensues, and in a cutscene, a trapped "Yoyo" cries for help inside a cage. The player defeats the Immortals, but when the player arrives at the foot of the cage, the cage drops on the player, and "Yoyo" escapes.
In chapter 5, the player faces the Immortals again at the Tokyo Rokkaku Expo Stadium in a game of Death Ball.
In chapter 7, the player faces yet another game of Tagger's Tag in 99th Street. However this Tagger's Tag is actually optional and is not really required to beat to unlock them, if the player already has completed all Street Challenges and acquired all the Graffiti Souls in their home turf before facing them again. If the player ignores the Immortals in chapter 7 they will appear in chapter 9 instead.
