Crazy Diamond

"It can be said that humans live by destroying. In the midst of that, your power is kinder than anything else."

- Jotaro Kujo to Josuke Higashikata,

Crazy Diamond (クレイジー・ダイヤモンド) is the Stand of Josuke Higashikata, featured in the fourth part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, Diamond is Unbreakable.

A powerful Stand with strength comparable to Star Platinum, it possesses the ability to heal or repair objects and/or people.

Appearance
Crazy Diamond is a humanoid Stand with a muscular build and tall stature, usually standing at around Josuke's height or taller.

It is clad in circular, oval, cylindrical, and heart-shaped armor plates that cover most of its body. On its head is a tall helmet shaped like a heart from the top, that occasionally resembles a. Cables join the back of its head to its upper back. It bears a heart motif between the top of its helm, its chin, shoulders, upper abdomen, belt, and knees. Short spikes protrude from its shoulders, ankles and head. Toward the end of the part 4 manga, Crazy Diamond is depicted in some panels with a small nose visible underneath its helmet.

Personality
Crazy Diamond has no distinct personality, usually with an angry or blank expression during fights and shouting its Stand Cry "DORARARA!"; similar yet uniquely distinct from that of Stands belonging to other Joestars. In a very small handful of scenes, Crazy Diamond has shown emotion through facial expressions, such as fear during the fight with Bug-Eaten.

Crazy Diamond was named by Jotaro Kujo.

Abilities
Crazy Diamond is a Stand, which like Jotaro Kujo's Star Platinum, is characterized by its physical might and speed at the cost of a short range of 2 meters. Its basic characteristics are:


 * Super Strength: Crazy Diamond possesses immense physical strength, having been able to easily punch through the abdomens of two people at once. Its strength matches that of a Star Platinum weakened by 10 years of being unused, having once successfully broken its defense and prompting Jotaro to remark that Star Platinum in its unused state would have difficulties against Crazy Diamond in a contest of strength.


 * Super Speed: Not only is it capable of surprising an on-guard and fully charged Red Hot Chili Pepper, but Crazy Diamond can also outpace other Stands such as Highway Star in close combat. Josuke estimates that its strikes exceed 300 km/h, though this is likely an understatement as his speed is comparable to Star Platinum, which moves faster than the speed of light. It was also able to catch a bullet fired in close proximity to Josuke.


 * Precision: According to Jotaro, it can effectively fire off a rifle bullet from its fingers up to 50 to 70 meters when Josuke concentrates.

Thus, Crazy Diamond is a powerful Stand in close-quarter combat whose capabilities are enhanced by its unconventional power of repairing broken items, making it a redoubtable and unpredictable Stand in a fight, but also an invaluable fighting partner as it can effectively heal any wound.

Restoration
Crazy Diamond's unique ability is to restore or revert objects or organisms to a previous state in their history through touch.

Trivia

 * Araki has stated that when drawing Atum for Part 3, it was "at this point" he started to incorporate hearts to his designs. This eventually tied itself into Crazy Diamond's design. He also drew Crazy Diamond so that its color scheme would contrast with Jotaro Kujo's Star Platinum.
 * An alternate version of Crazy Diamond bearing the same appearance, name and presumably abilities appears in a 4-koma comic from Jump Multi World. It is summoned by an alternate version of Josuke Higashikata, who tries to fix the friendship between two students. However, Crazy Diamond simply violently punches the students and kills them since, as the alternate Josuke puts it, not even Crazy Diamond can "heal people's hearts".
 * In JOJO A-GO!GO! (published in 2000), Crazy Diamond is listed as Araki's overall favorite Stand, followed by Sex Pistols and Sticky Fingers.
 * Crazy Diamond's image is seen chalked on a road by a street artist in JJL Chapter 12.
 * In DU Episode 2, Josuke is shown playing "Oh! That's a Baseball '99," in which he customizes the members of his team to resemble Crazy Diamond, similar to Jotaro's and Telence T. D'Arby's team members' resemblances to their respective Stands during their battle in Stardust Crusaders.
