Born This Way

"If something is closed and I open it, I'll be automatically pursued and attacked by that mysterious enemy rider...!"

- Josuke Higashikata

Born This Way (ボーン・ディス・ウェイ) is the Stand of Kei Nijimura, featured in the eighth part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, JoJolion. As a humanoid Stand on a motorcycle, it automatically pursues a designated target, appears near them when they "open" something, and conjures strong freezing winds.

Appearance
Born This Way is composed of a humanoid rider and a motorcycle. The rider is covered by black clothes apparently similar to protective motorcyle clothing, including a visored helmet. As such, it is not easily identifiable as a Stand, but when its helmet is removed, it has a stout, robotic head and face, lending it the appearance of a hunched back. This was done in order to make it clear at first glance that it was definitely a Stand and not a human when its helmet came off.

The motorcycle is a heavy, almost armored black. The front wheels feature flower decals on the hub caps and the front fork has a stitched design similar to the face of the rider.

On the bottom of its helmet, there is a skull-shaped emblem, similar to those found on her brother's stand.

Born This Way and its motorcycle are primarily black in the colored manga. Underneath its helmet, Born This Way is also grey and purple.

Personality
Knocking the rider off the bike causes it to make a "Shuu" noise and quickly jump back on.

Abilities
Born This Way is an automatic Stand defined by constant power independent of the distance from Kei, and is unusual in that it rides a motorcycle. Equipped with a helmet and motorcycle riding gear, Born This Way is more resilient than most Stands. The bike is durable enough to withstand Soft & Wet's punches, and as a vehicle, can be used to ram into people.

Although Born This Way is physically powerful, it can only appear when certain conditions are met and can be warded off if the target is careful about their actions.

Trivia

 * Born This Way was originally called Going Underground (ゴーイング・アンダーグラウンド) until the release of the JJL Volume 4 tankobon. Despite this, Kei Nijimura's design still features the initials "G.U." on her clothing.
