Say hello to Bad Company, my invincible army!

—Keicho to Josuke, Chapter 278

Bad Company (極悪中隊(バッド・カンパニー), Baddo Kanpanī) is the Stand of Keicho Nijimura, featured in the fourth part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, Diamond is Unbreakable.

Instead of a single entity, Bad Company manifests as a whole army of miniature soldiers and military vehicles, with all the firepower it implies. They serve Keicho without question but are shown talking to one another and making very careful maneuvers.

Appearance

Bad Company appears as a group of 60 Patchwork soldiers, an uncertain amount of Green Berets (most likely part of the 60 soldiers), four helicopters modeled after the Boeing AH-64 Apache, and seven tanks modeled after the M1 Abrams,^[3] all armed to the teeth and dressed similar to American G.I.s. Much like the figures they are based on,^[4] all the units in Bad Company are scaled down to size and resemble something like sentient toys.

In the live action film, Araki drew the camouflage pattern on their suits. The pattern repeatedly has the word "TRILLION" written in English in a mix of khaki and purple.^[5]

Abilities

Bad Company is the first colony-type Stand to be featured in the series and as such, it is composed of many weaker individual soldiers and vehicles whose power add up when used in unison.

Bad Company is an imposing force in combat despite the small size of its individual members as it's capable of deploying a great amount of firepower and its user Keicho performs subtle military tactics. Commanded by the meticulous Keicho, who uses the confined space of his house to trap Josuke, Bad Company proves to be highly dangerous.

Military Firepower

Bad Company is a group of hand-held soldiers and war vehicles and fights like a miniature army with the associated firepower.

Keicho orders Bad Company to fire at will

Each of Bad Company's soldiers is armed with an M16 assault rifle, parachute, and combat knife.^[6] Alongside the standard infantrymen, there are Green Berets who have the same equipment as the soldiers, but with the addition of a rappelling rope which allows them to climb objects.^[7] The helicopters are armed with machine guns and missiles,^[6] and the tanks have scaled-down shells.^[6] In addition, Bad Company is also equipped with land mines.^[8]

Despite their reduced size (a soldier barely reaching Keicho's ankle), the weapons of Bad Company are still dangerous. The infantry's miniature M16s are able to puncture through human skin, creating small but deep bullet holes;^[6] a land mine's blast is enough to severely wound a leg and a pair of missiles from one of the helicopters was enough to disable Crazy Diamond's arm.^[8]

Bad Company is most effective when all of its units fire at once. Defensively speaking, the disciplined fire of the infantry, which Keicho describes as a "wall of steel", can shoot down any projectile as long as they have the time to see it coming. Offensively, the combined fire of the infantry and all the vehicles creates an onslaught of projectiles able to blast away a wall.^[7] However, this method commits all units to offense and leaves Keicho defenseless to counterattacks. Thus, Josuke was able to send back a missile to Keicho while the entire army was committed to firing on Josuke as per Keicho's order. As soon as Keicho is knocked out, Bad Company and its projectiles disappear.^[8]

The information below derives from a source not written by Araki. As such, it may or may not be considered canon.

In the live action adaptation of Diamond is Unbreakable, Bad Company is given another caveat in its ability. When Keicho gives Bad Company a command, the army will only work towards carrying out that specific command, and it cannot be changed once ordered.
