Anime Debut: Stone Ocean Episode 5: Prisoner of Love
A DISC (
The DISCs are similar in appearance to compact discs but have the word "DISC" engraved on them in capital letters. A Stand can be seen inside the Stand DISCs while memories can be glanced at in memory DISCs, although a full examination requires the insertion of the DISC.
Despite their appearance, the DISCs feel rubbery and elastic,[1] instead of plastic, making them impervious to physical damage. The DISCs are perennial, existing even long after Whitesnake ceases to exist, and are indestructible unless inserted into a dying person, causing the inserted DISC to slowly crumble.
Unlike Stands, an ordinary person can see the DISCs.[2]
There are two main types of DISCs:
Pucci is able to create other types of DISCs. By inserting DISCs, Pucci can command people to follow his bidding. For instance, he can brainwash a guard into thinking he's been ordered to kill Jolyne Cujoh without him dwelling much on why or how he's found himself in her proximity.[5] The orders can be quite extraordinary and even physically impossible. For instance, Pucci has been able to command a frog to explode at a preset distance from him.[6] Some DISCs containing a person's sense, like sight, can be extracted.[7]
After this DISC was recovered by Jolyne, Pucci sent Lang Rangler after her. With the aid of Weather Report, Jolyne made it to the courtyard but was chased down by Whitesnake. Weather helped Jolyne escape and give the DISC to Savage Garden, a Speedwagon Foundation carrier pigeon, allowing Jotaro to regain his physical strength and conscious.
All-Star Battle OST Disc
Extracted from Thunder McQueen when he was defeated, Jolyne and Ermes examined the memories inside and discovered Whitesnake's hidden stash of Stand DISCs.
Like the original Whitesnake, Kars's Whitesnake Ultimate can extract Stand and memory DISCs out of anyone. After Kars learns how to use a Stand or Bound ability, he can make a copy of the ability and convert it into a DISC. He can then give the copy of the ability to anybody while also keeping the ability for himself.
However, if he places DISCs containing copies of his ultimate Stands into an ordinary human, they will immediately explode as their bodies are not capable of withstanding Kars's ultimate power. Kars can create degraded versions of his Stands instead to give to others. There is a limit of one Stand per person unless they are an Ultimate Thing like Kars.
The Stand DISCs appear in All-Star Battle as part of one of Pucci's skills and his HHA. During those special moves, Whitesnake steals a DISC from the opponent, disabling their special and Style-related abilities until Pucci takes damage. The characters who don't have Stands are not able to use their respective abilities, such as Jonathan's Ripple or Johnny's Slow Dancer.
