"Le "char" symbolise l'invasion et la victoire."

- Jean Pierre Polnareff,

Silver Chariot (シルバーチャリオッツ（銀の戦車）) est le Stand de Jean Pierre Polnareff, apparaissant surtout dans la troisème partie de JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Stardust Crusaders, et brièvement dans la cinquième partie, Vento Aureo.

Silver Chariot est un stand humanoïde vêtu d'une armure et armé d'une rapière. Il est particulièrement mortel en combat rapproché en raison de sa vitesse et de sa précision.

Apparence


Silver Chariot ressemble à un robot humanoïde mince, vêtu d'une armure médiévale en argent, armé d'une rapière avec une garde sphérique. Bien que Silver Chariot soit mince, il porte une armure de plaque lourde à pointes sur les épaulières et les coudières. Silver Chariot a un casque distinctif avec une gemme intégrée dans le front et plusieurs dents métallique pointant vers le bas protégeant la bouche et les joues. L'épée de Chariot peut être non équipée pour les tâches qui nécessitent deux mains. Selon JOJOVELLER, sa conception est une combinaison d'un robot avec une armure européenne.

Après avoir combattu Diavolo et son King Crimson à la fin des années 90, Silver Chariot perd ses jambes et son avant-bras droit. Ils sont remplacés par des appendices en forme de pointes métalliques.

Polnareff était capable d'utiliser Silver Chariot depuis qu'il était enfant, bien que son Stand soit aussi petit que lui et beaucoup plus faible. À mesure que Polnareff vieillit, Silver Chariot se développe avec lui.

Comme son nom le suggère, Silver Chariot est souvent décrit comme étant couvert d'une armure argentée polie. Les exemples les plus notables d'une telle représentation sont l'anime et les jeux vidéo. L'OAV de Stardust Crusaders le montre plutôt comme portant une armure terne et grise avec des pièces d'armure d'or ici et là.

Personnalité
Comme la plupart des Stands, Silver Chariot est dépourvu de toute volonté ou personnalité, servant Polnareff sans faille - bien qu'il affiche une capacité d'apprentissage élevée, car Polnareff lui donne rarement des ordres directs. Le cri de combat de Silver Chariot est "Hora Hora Hora", et il semble avoir eu tendance à crier "Pami" quand Polnareff était enfant.

Silver Chariot is a dedicated combat-oriented close-range Stand. It represents the Tarot Card, which symbolizes invasion and victory.

Pouvoirs et compétences
Silver Chariot est un puissant Stand à courte portée dédié au combat qui combat principalement avec la rapière dont il est équipé.

All its powers directly assist the Stand in battle but have limited use anywhere else. It is an incredibly agile Stand, able to attack enemies with barrages of sword slashes and thrusts before the opponent can react. It can also use this agility, along with its sword, to defend and deflect attacks aimed at it or its user. Silver Chariot usually doesn't stray far away from Polnareff, but still had the ability to move several meters away from him to attack. Silver Chariot has the distinct weakness of not being able to see whatever its user cannot see, making it weak if Polnareff is in any way in a blind spot.


 * Speed: silver chariot powa 01.gifr Chariot is an incredibly quick Stand, as it is able to appear in multiple places at once, due to moving at a speed faster than the human eye can process and creating illusory afterimages. However, Silver Chariot is weighed down by its armor and needs to shed it to reach its full speed. Its speed is high enough that it is able to skewer several falling coins and balls of fire in an alternating pattern in one thrust, deflect bullets shot at a point-blank range, cut Hanged Man who is stated to go at light-speed, caught up to lasers shoot out by the Sun and even match Star Platinum and its barrage of punches.


 * Power: Even though the majority of Silver Chariot's power is in its astonishing speed, it still has great destructive power, as it is able to slice through solid rock instantaneously. Silver Chariot's strength is portrayed inconsistently, first shown to be able to lift Polnareff against Muhammad Avdol but then shown to be barely strong enough to slowly pull its user against Vanilla Ice.


 * Precision: Silver Chariot's speed is perhaps only matched by its precision. Having trained his Stand for several years, Polnareff has enough control over Silver Chariot's movement to be able to overall fight like an experienced fencer, to slice through a bullet or skewer several coins and balls of fire in a single thrust when they align.

Armor
Silver Chariot's oddest property is that it is clad in a heavy suit of silver armor.

The armor lowers its speed, but also prevents it from being injured, as Polnareff does not receive the same injuries that the armor does as long as it's donned. The armor is shown to be capable of withstanding extreme heat without melting. This ability's drawback seems to be Polnareff's inability to see through Silver Chariot's eyes. Polnareff is able to shed Silver Chariot's armor in order to gain more tremendous speed (enough for afterimages to appear), but doing so renders his Stand more vulnerable to attack as a trade-off.

Sword Launch
Silver Chariot's only ranged ability and a secret technique. This launches his sword with great force and precision, capable of ricocheting off other objects and striking with enough force to pierce a human body. The major drawback of doing this is that Silver Chariot can only materialize one sword, so Polnareff must retrieve the weapon before being able to attack again.

Trivia

 * Since Star Platinum looked like a human, Araki decided to make Silver Chariot look more robotic, as well as contrasting Star Platinum's punching fighting style with swords.
 * Silver Chariot is seen holding 2 rapiers instead of one in the JoJo Sono Chi no Kioku ~end of THE WORLD~ opening sequence of the anime adaptation of the Egypt Arc of Stardust Crusaders, likely as a nod to its possession by Anubis.
 * Silver Chariot's head resembles the mask worn by Jagi in Fist of the North Star.
 * Silver Chariot's rapier closely resembles an, a smaller and flimsier sword that is used in modern fencing.
