Strength

"The Stand! It's the whole ship!"

- Jotaro Kujo, Chapter 132

Strength (ストレングス（力）) is the Stand of the orangutan Forever, featured in the third part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, Stardust Crusaders.

As a, it possesses the ability to bind itself to a boat and transform it into a massive. Its user is then capable of manipulating the ship at will.

Appearance
Strength binds itself to a small boat and takes on the appearance of a massive cargo ghost ship named "Big Daddy". Although seemingly abandoned, all of the equipment is in good condition.



It represents the tarot card Strength, which symbolizes resilience, compassion, and confidence.

Abilities
Disguised as a freighter, Strength is an incredibly powerful Stand used to take its enemies by surprise. It almost killed the entirety of the Joestar Group at once.

However, it is burdened by the cockiness of its user, Forever, who likes to brag and thus expose himself to retaliation.

Ship Manipulation
Strength is capable of binding itself to a small boat and transforming it into a gigantic freighter.

While Strength is bound to an object, Forever gets unquestionable psychic control over it. Even objects, such as electrical cords, bolts in the hull, and the very floors and walls themselves are bent and twisted to the beck and call of Forever's will. This power can be used to surprise attack those who board the yacht and also allows Forever to travel through the ship's walls and floor as if they were liquid.

Creation and Development
Strength's concept was inspired by the real-life, infamous ship , which was found adrift and mysteriously abandoned in the Atlantic Ocean.

Strength might have also been inspired by the possessed killer freighter from the 1980 horror movie . In the OVA, many shots of Strength's interior and machinery also are similar to the ones seen in the movie.
