Wonder of U/ru

"Я - Wonder of U. Поток событий всегда будет приводить к бедствию."

- Wonder of U

Wonder of U (ワンダー・オブ・) - это Стенд Тоору, представленный в восьмой части серии JoJo's Bizarre Adventure JoJolion. Впервые появляется в сюжетной арке "The Wonder of You".

Это разумный стенд, максирующийся под обликом главврача Университета Больницы TG под именем Сатору Акефу (明負 悟). Wonder of U способен вызвать бедствие для любого, кто будет преследовать его или действовать против него.

Внешний вид
Wonder of U - искусственно-гуманоидный стенд преимущественно чёрного цвета. У него кукловидное тело, с массивным туловищем, но тонкими трубчатыми руками. Каждое сочленение, от талии до локтей, представляет собой шарнирный сустав. Тело покрыто равномерно распределёнными круговыми гребнями. Так же, как у Карса, на каждом запястье у Wonder of U находится длинное изогнутое лезвие.

Its head has a flattened ovoid shape, still black with the same ridges around its head. Moreover, it has a reverse U-shaped ridge framing its face and a pair of round mechanical eyes. Its early design features eyes that are decorated with a sun motif, similar to the symbols found on Tooru's outfit. Later chapters change this to plain monocle-like circles.

The Stand is capable of appearing as an elderly-looking man with a slightly stocky build. Its arms and legs are noticeably slimmer than the rest of its body. It wears a dark-colored hat and suit, along with a lightly colored scarf with a pattern of irregular "-" shaped slits cut into it. It also wears dress shoes and uses a cane to walk.

Характер
Wonder of U демонстрирует асоциальное поведение, полностью игнорируя Джоске, Ясухо и Рай, когда те впервые его преследуют. Wonder of U пребывает в постоянном спокойствии, зная, что его автоматическая способность поможет избавиться от любых врагов. Помимо этого, Wonder of U довольно разумен и способен, в том числе, распознать ловушки, устроенные для него Джоске.

Identity Assumption
Wonder of U allows Tooru to lead a double-life under the assumed identity of Satoru Akefu, head doctor of TG University hospital. This is done by Wonder of U taking on a human form, which unlike most stands, can be seen by non-stand users. This allows Tooru to gain access to both the hospital resources and presumed credentials needed to carry out his role as presumed mastermind of the Locacaca Organization.

Long-range Illusion Creation
Wonder of U is able to create multiple visions of itself, which can be designated to specific targets. These visions normally take on the form of Tooru's assumed identity, and typically position themselves so that their back faces a given target. Wonder of U has been shown to have a degree of control over who can and cannot see these visions. For example, a vision meant for Mitsuba Higashikata could not be seen by other members of the Higashikata family, while another vision of the Stand could be seen by a large audience attending the head doctor's presentation. Even in human form, Wonder of U's illusions are able to phase in and out of objects such as walls, and are able to travel across reflective surfaces.

Генерация бедствий
Основная способность Wonder of U автоматическая, действующая на дальних дистанциях. Она крайне опасна, так как защититься от неё возможно лишь в крайне редких случаях.

Wonder of U's ability can be activated on any person who has looked at the Stand's back while in its human form. While Wonder of U's ability is active, targets will experience horrible developments referred to as calamities. Some calamities will be a result of the target's own behavior leading to an unusually detrimental result (i.e. Mitsuba cutting her hand while preparing food) while others take the form of environmental factors that would normally be harmless having an abnormally bad outcome (i.e. receiving near-lethal wounds from the impact of raindrops, or a light bulb in Mamezuku's vicinity exploding.)

Как только Wonder of U фиксируется на своей цели, любая преследовать или атаковать Сатору Акефу приведёт к реактивации способности стенда. Даже простогонамерения Джоске противостоять Wonder of U было достаточно, чтобы стенд атаковал и чуть не убил его. Преследование - главный триггер для активации стенда, однако Wonder of U способен атаковать любого кто увидел его спину, независимо от намерений жертвы. Это было продемонстрировано Мамедзуку, когда тот показал фотографию спины стенда другому 🇺🇳, в результате чего последний был смертельно ранен.

There is a strong correlation between the size of an object and how immediate and severe the injury will be upon impact. For example, while a discarded cigarette striking Josuke's hand resulted in it immediately piercing his palm, colliding with an umbrella stand caused a much more serious wound on Mamezuku's leg, though with a noticeable delay between the collision and appearance of the injury. It seems that for collisions with larger objects, there's a waiting period in which the effects of this impact can be transferred to another person. A bystander was shown to suffer a sudden, fatal neck injury after coming into contact with Josuke's blood within moments of the latter being hit by a car during this Stand's attack. As stated by Mamezuku, the severity of the calamities caused by the head doctor to someone who is not pursuing him seem to function as a form of karma and are influenced by an individual's history. This is demonstrated when a convicted killer who caught a glimpse of Wonder of U's back received a calamity that resulted in a life-threatening wound, while Mamezuku's took the form of relatively harmless things, such as a light bulb bursting and maggots appearing in his uneaten food. This is further expanded upon by Wonder of U, stating that there is a "flow" of things that always results in calamity which was previously hinted at by Tooru.

However, despite Wonder of U's seemingly unbeatable offensive and defensive capabilities, a possible weakness in its defense is noted by Josuke following his initial defeat by the Stand. By remaining completely idle and forcing the Stand to confront him, Josuke was seemingly able to bypass the danger of the Stand's ability, as no behavior or environmental factors were present that could be extrapolated into a calamity.
