Random Complicated Stand Abilities That Are Hard To Understand From Jojo's (13 items)

• 

  (#1) Fun Fun Fun

  Ojiro Sasame's Stand, Fun Fun Fun, is a lot more complicated than its name implies. It lets him control his target's bodies through their wounds - if a wound opens up, the blood forms a seal that Fun Fun Fun can control. But it can only control the affected body part - specifically, the feet and hands and limbs. In order to control the whole body, all four limbs need to be injured. 

  Also, in order to activate and maintain the effects, Ojiro needs to be standing directly above his target at all times. He also can't lose track of the target's position - any disruption and he loses control. It's not exactly useful for combat - Ojiro does use it occasionally, but mostly he just uses it to mess with people.

  (#2) Dragon's Dream

  Kenzou's Stand, Dragon's Dream, doesn't actually do any fighting itself. Rather, it draws on the principles of Feng Shui to point to lucky and unlucky spots that he can exploit to make it more likely that he'll be able to defeat his opponents. Once a spot has been identified, he can enter the space inside the ring and use it to teleport his limbs to the spot of his choosing.

  But Dragon's Dream doesn't actually care if Kenzou wins or loses. While the information it provides is often to his advantage, his opponents can also use it to predict his movements once they figure out the pattern. Dragon Dream is a useful tool, but one that can also easily be turned against its user.

  (#3) Civil War

  Civil War is confined to the closed space of a garbage dump, but if you find yourself within its territory, you're in huge trouble - that is, as long as there's anything you feel guilty about. Civil War uses its targets' feelings of guilt to manifest someone or something they've abandoned, harmed, or otherwise felt guilty about. Whoever or whatever it summons is used to attack the target, both physically and by fusing into a membrane that they try to engulf them with. The membrane shrinks until the target is completely flattened by it. Contact with the guilt-object causes the target to remember everything about their guilty feelings. The only way to dispel the objects is through water. 

  The Stand has another layer: if anyone in Civil War's territory - or Axl RO himself - is destroyed by the target, they can be resurrected and used to attack the person who took their life. This can be circumvented if the killer doesn't feel any guilt about what they did.

  (#4) Tusk ACT IV

  Johnny Joestar's Stand, Tusk, has several different forms known as ACTS. While some of them are pretty straightforward, ACT IV is not. To use this Stand, Johnny has his horse run in its "natural state" which somehow achieves the Golden Spin - infinite rotational energy. By combining this energy with Tusk, Johnny is able to control this energy. Whatever Tusk ACT IV touches will be unable to stop spinning until it's completely destroyed. Apparently, when they disintegrate, they're also sent to another direction. The spinning can't be stopped through any means until this happens - even switching bodies or dimension-hopping isn't enough to do the job.

  (#5) Gold Experience Requiem

  Just because Giorno Giovanna is a protagonist doesn't mean that his Stand is straightforward! 

  Gold Experience Requiem is a Requiem Stand, which means that it's an evolved form of Gold Experience. Just like the original, it's capable of creating a stunning of lifeforms: turning a piece of luggage into a frog, generating functional human organs, and more. The confusing part comes with the new power Return to Zero.

  Return to Zero nullifies any action or intention back to 'zero' thus preventing it from ever having happened in the first place. For this reason, GER is nearly impossible to defeat. Anyone who loses their life to it will experience a never-ending loop of repeated deaths. That's the gruesome fate that Diavolo meets with.

  (#6) Sky High

  One of Dio's sons, Rikiel, is the owner of the incredibly convoluted Stand, Sky High. Through a beetle-frog hybrid attached to his wrist, Rikiel can control Rods, see-through cryptids that feed on body heat. Using the Rods, Rikiel can create localized illnesses in his target. He does this by directing the Rods to suck heat out of a specific body part, making them more prone to illness and dysfunction. These effects can include forcing a person's eyelids shut and blinding them, destroying their muscles, or even attacking their brainstem.  

  The biggest drawback of Sky High is that before Rikiel could use it effectively, he was subject to the same Rod-related health issues. But they can also impact his body in positive ways - they can numb the nerves in his neck to help him avoid feeling pain and keep fighting for longer periods of time.

  (#7) King Crimson

  King Crimson is a complex and multifaceted Stand that's notorious for being one of the most confusing ones out there. This is partially because of not-so-clear fan translation, and partially because of the Stand itself.

  Diavolo can use it for raw combat, but that's not its most noteworthy feature. The Stand can erase up to 10 seconds of whatever time frame Diavolo chooses, meaning that everything that happened within that time frame is gone and nobody has any memory of it - except, of course, for Diavolo. Afterward, the target will find themselves in whatever situation Diavolo made sure to put them in. 

  Using Epitaph, Diavolo can make predictions up to 10 seconds into the future. While he can't change the outcome, he can find ways to minimize damage, or even avoid it altogether if he uses his Stand to erase the right time frame.

  (#8) Awaking III Leaves

  To use Awaking III Leaves properly, Mitsuba Higashikata needs to have some serious math and physics skills. This means that for JoJo fans who aren't mathematically inclined, the Stand might be pretty hard to track. It's able to manipulate vector space by generating arrows that move energy in the direction they're pointing towards. This can be useful for a lot of reasons, from physical attacks to expelling foreign objects - in fact, when the arrows are placed on a person, anything inside that person that isn't native to their body will be forced out. The arrows can also be stacked on top of one another to multiply the force behind them.

  (#9) Paisley Park

  Paisley Park's abilities are hard to understand even when Yasuho explains them. Basically, this Stand tries to help her escape danger or get things done more efficiently using a multitude of different methods. These include hacking into electronic systems, traveling through data networks via Yasuho's phone, deleting and copying files at Yasuho's command, and more.

  But Paisley Park is more than just a high-tech hacking device. It also presents Yasuho with two time-limited choices, each of which produces a different result. She has to choose quickly, otherwise the Stand won't act. If she does choose, she'll be presented with an object related to her choice, which will presumably come in handy later.

  (#10) Weather Report

  Weather Report would be easy enough to understand if it were restricted to its main ability - controlling the weather. By manipulating the atmosphere around it, this Stand can create wind, rain, or lightning at will. It can also increase air resistance, creating defensive barriers to protect its user, who is also named Weather Report. 

  But Weather Report has an additional ability called Heavy Weather, which is one of the most bizarre things in the whole series. By generating rainbows, Weather Report is somehow able to hypnotize its targets into believing that they are snails. This would be weird enough, but that belief somehow leads them to actually transform into snails. How does this work? Nobody knows.

  (#11) Baby Face

  Baby Face is a Stand operated by Melone. It's a supercomputer capable of generating homunculi that are a combination of human and Stand. After choosing a female host based on characteristics like blood type, horoscope, age, health and (for some reason) Kama Sutra preferences, the Stand impregnates the target with a homunculus called a Junior. The Junior takes about three minutes to fully develop, and is hosted not in the woman's uterus, but in her head. If a target's blood is mixed into the Junior's DNA, they'll be able to use that to hunt their target down. 

  While the exact characteristics of the Juniors vary, they all seem to possess the ability to break down matter and reform it into any shape they desire - for example, they once split Trish's body into cubes and then rearranged those cubes into a table. It can also split up its own body in order to blend in with its environment. 

  While the Juniors are quite powerful, their partially human nature means that they can disobey Melone and go rogue if they want to.

  (#12) Chocolate Disco

  D-I-S-C-O's similarly named Stand, Chocolate Disco, lets him rapidly teleport objects to a space in a grid field by pressing a corresponding button on an armband. So, for example, he can choose to send it to a space marked B2 or F7. The object will then fall on top of the target.

  He can use objects belonging to other people, or objects that belong to him. The Stand is not capable of attacking on its own, so if D-I-S-C-O doesn't have any objects to work with, he'll be at a disadvantage. He also has to be extremely precise - if he teleports an object to the wrong space, or the target manages to leave the area, he won't have any means of defending himself. 

  While this Stand is pretty straightforward once broken down, many fans say that they struggled to understand it as it was presented in the manga.

  (#13) Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap

  Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, also known as D4C, is the Stand belonging to Funny Valentine, the 23rd President of the United States. D4C lets Funny Valentine travel from one dimension to another by positioning his body between two objects. He can also pull and swap people with the alternate dimensional versions of themselves. That's how he was able to confuse everyone about who shot Johnny Joestar - he brought alternate versions of Diego and Wekapipo into the world, tricking them into thinking they were shooting each other while they were actually shooting Johnny. 

  But D4C also has another impressive ability: Love Train. Love Train only works while Lucy Steele is around, since it utilizes a powerful light that comes from her body. This light redirects any misfortune that comes Funny Valentine's way, and has it manifest as a disaster effecting somebody else instead.
