"La déesse était à mes côtés."

- Funny Valentine

Ticket to Ride est le Stand utilisé par Lucy Steel, figurant dans la septième partie de JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Steel Ball Run. Il se manifeste en tant que plusieurs pouvoirs spéciaux qui protègent Lucy.

Apparence
Ce Stand se manifest au moment où le Corps Saint est complété et fusionne avec Lucy, prenant peu à peu contrôle de son corps. Avant le contrôle complet, Ticket to Ride passe par les étapes suivantes :


 * 1) La tête du cadavre se loge dans le ventre de Lucy. Pendant ce mode, elle pouvait utiliser ses larmes solidifiées en tant que lames et invoquer des blessures karmiques sur les autres autour d'elle.
 * 2) Lorsque le cadavre entier est rassemblé, la peau de Lucy commence à se détacher d'elle et révèle l'intérieur de son corps, à l'allure de cadavre.
 * 3) Lucy commence à tomber inconsciente et tout son corps est recouvert d'un revêtement solide. Pendant cette étape, Lucy commence à avoir des difficultés à respirer et sera lentement tuée par les parties du cadavre qui la prennent. De plus, dans ce mode, sa pleine capacité Stand sera activée.

Abilities
Ticket to Ride consists of a set of weak but useful defensive powers that serve to protect Lucy once she becomes the host of the Saint's Corpse.

Blade of Tears
Lucy is able to pull streaks of tears from her eyes and use them like knives. As the blade of tears immediately decomposes upon contact with someone, this ability has no real use besides threatening someone. However, when the blade is used against someone or something, they become vulnerable to Lucy's primary ability: Divine Protection. Ticket to Ride's blade-tear ability was inspired by the phrase "tears are a woman's weapon".

Divine Protection
This ability protects Lucy from any harm done to her by creating a chain reaction of unlikely coincidences from the surroundings to neutralize any assailant. Similarly, the phenomenon can also force a target to do as Lucy wants. This ability, while Lucy is capable of movement, seems to only work against those Lucy has touched with her Tear Cutter.

For example, two people try to tranquilize Lucy, but she accidentally knocks a bottle onto the ground and spills some liquid. One of them suddenly steps onto the liquid and slips, letting Lucy escape, then other chases after her but steps on a glass bottle, causing it to break and shatters pieces into his eye.

This can also be applied to nonliving objects; Lucy writes a note and hides it on a dock, where Valentine destroys it, only for a series of coincidences to recreate the note in its entirety and stick it back to nearly the same place. At its core, this ability (at least until Lucy becomes nonfunctional) manipulates the fortune of what is cut to create the outcome Lucy wants.

Trivia

 * The Stand's name was revealed in the JOJOVELLER Stand book, although it was hinted at as it appears in the chapters titled Ticket to Ride.
