{{nihongo|'''Dario Brando'''|ダリオ・ブランドー|Dario Burandō}} is a minor character featured in the first part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[Phantom Blood]]''.<br />
<br />
<!--T:2--><br />
Dario is the father of [[Dio Brando]]. An alcoholic and abusive man, he is primarily responsible for Dio's descent into evil. After a tragic misunderstanding, [[George Joestar I]] decides to give him a favor, eventually adopting his son Dio into the [[Joestar Family|Joestar family]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance== <!--T:3--><br />
Dario is an elderly man with a stocky build. He is balding, save some hair on the back of his head and a white beard. He bears a scar crossing his forehead, and is missing several teeth.<br />
<br />
<!--T:4--><br />
Dario has a tattoo on his chest of a cross with the words 'In memory of mother' visible.<br />
<br />
==Personality== <!--T:5--><br />
Dario Brando is portrayed as a corrupt, alcoholic, and abusive father.<br />
<br />
<!--T:6--><br />
Dario is repeatedly portrayed as extremely immoral. Being a petty thief, Dario has no qualm stealing from the dead, notably stealing a then unconscious [[George Joestar I|George Joestar's]] ring, believing him to be dead. He also told his companion to let George's baby die. When George woke up, Dario tricked him into believing he was saving him, hoping to exploit the gentleman's naïveté. When George covered for him out of kindness, Dario couldn't understand the gesture.<ref name="Ch1" /><br />
<br />
<!--T:7--><br />
Dario was an abusive husband and father, having presumably forced his wife to work to death. He was hated by his own son, whom he would yell at and beat for the flimsiest reasons. At some point, he asked his son to sell his dead mother's clothes in order to buy more booze. His alcoholic nature was shared with Dio, who hated himself for resembling his father after getting drunk.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 7}}</ref><br />
<br />
<!--T:8--><br />
Nonetheless, he cared about Dio enough to let him be adopted within the [[Joestar Family]].<ref name="Ch1" /><br />
<br />
==History== <!--T:9--><br />
===''Phantom Blood''===<br />
[[File:DarioSaves.png|thumb|left|Dario Brando "saves" George Joestar.]]<br />
Dario was a poor man in Victorian England who witnessed [[George Joestar I]]'s carriage crash one day in 1868. He immediately started looting the wreckage on the assumption that there were no survivors, even as a [[Woman from Bar|woman from a bar]] that he brought with him noted that the [[Jonathan Joestar|infant]] was still alive. George wakes up and assumes that Dario saved his life, feeling indebted to him. Although George later learned the truth about Dario's personality when he was arrested for trying to pawn [[Mary Joestar]]'s wedding ring, George pressed no charges and asked Dario to become a good man for his family. Even after receiving money from George to start a hotel, Dario soon found himself back in poverty, eventually working his wife to death.<ref name="Ch1"/><br />
<br />
<!--T:10--><br />
[[File:DarioGrave.png|thumb|right|Dario's tombstone.]]<br />
For the next twelve years, Dario took out his frustration on his son Dio, who he grew to hate his father enough to poison him with [[Wang Chan]]'s assistance. Unaware that his own son was killing him, he tells Dio of the debt George still owes him on his deathbed. Dario gives Dio a letter to mail to the [[Joestar Mansion]], in which he details his condition and asks the Joestars to adopt Dio. Though Dio is adopted into the family, Dario's letter plays a vital role in exposing his attempted murder of George seven years afterward.<br />

==Trivia== <!--T:14--><br />
<br />
<!--T:15--><br />
*George mistaking Dario as his savior bears resemblance a similar scene in Victor Hugo's novel Les Misérables, in which Marius's father mistakes the corrupt innkeeper Thénardiers as his savior and sends Marius to seek aid from him on his deathbed. George also claims that he gave his ring to Dario Brando, who was imprisoned for stealing said ring, resembling the bishop Myriel claiming the same for Jean Valjean, who attempted to steal his silverware.<br />
*Dario's English voice actor would ironically later to go on to voice [[Yoshihiro Kira]], the father of [[Yoshikage Kira|another primary antagonist]].<br />
*Dario's design and alchoholism is a reference to the [[Poker Under Arms' Narrator|Old Man]] from [[Poker Under Arms]], [[Hirohiko Araki]]'s debut work.<br />

{{Hatnote|For a complete list of Stands, see [[List of Stands]]. For Stands yet to be named, see [[List of Unnamed Stands]].}}{{Quote|Indeed Jotaro, what you have called an "evil spirit" is but a powerful vision created by your own life energy! And since it stands next to you, it is called... a '''Stand'''!|Joseph Joestar, {{Ch2|Chapter 116}}}}<br />
<br />
<!--T:2--><br />
A {{Nihongo|'''Stand'''|スタンド|Sutando}} is a physical manifestation of a person's {{nihongo|"life energy"|生命エネルギー|Seimei enerugī}}.<ref>[[JOJOVELLER]]: STANDS | Definition of a Stand, p.316</ref> It is a power unique to the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series.<br />
<br />
<!--T:3--><br />
A Stand is an entity psychically generated by its owner, referred to as a {{Nihongo4|'''Stand User'''|スタンド使い|Sutando Tsukai}}.<ref>[[Chapter 139]], Yellow Temperance Part 4</ref> It generally presents itself as an ethereal figure hovering over or near the user and possesses abilities beyond that of an ordinary human, which, depending on the Stand User, can be wielded for good or evil.<br />
<br />
==Definition== <!--T:4--><br />
Stands are defined as personifications of "life energy" whose abilities are given visual form. When first presented, the term is written as {{nihongo|"Stand"|{{ruby|幽波紋|スタンド}}|Sutando}},<ref>''Chapter 116: [[Chapter 116|Jotaro Kujo (3)]], pg. 7''</ref> with {{w|furigana}} to change the pronunciation of what literally means {{nihongo|"Ghostly [[Ripple]]"|幽波紋|Yūhamon}} in {{w|kanji}}. According to [[Joseph Joestar]], the name "Stand" comes from the fact the vast majority of Stands usually manifest themselves standing next to the User: ready to act on their command.<br />
[[File:Stand battles.gif|left|thumb|265x265px|Stands are typically used in battle]]<br />
A Stand can also represent the manifestation of an individual's innate "fighting spirit" and embodies, to an extent, the individual's psyche. However, Stands may also derive through the exploration of possibilities and expression of the mind, in which case, only a large amount of mental strength is required. Beyond that definition, Stands present themselves in a large variety of forms and with different behaviors, if they are sentient at all. They follow a loose set of rules, with no definite standard by which one can fully classify them. As an embodiment of someone's psyche, Stands are therefore as varied as human minds can be.<br />
<br />
<!--T:5--><br />
Due to their diversity, Stands are not made equal. Some can be incredibly powerful due to their User's outstanding grit, others can be highly situational because of a defining quirk of character, or even detrimental to their User if they do not have the necessary fighting spirit.[[File:JotaroStandCard.png|thumb|Star Platinum, the "Star" card]] When Stands were first introduced in ''[[Stardust Crusaders]]'', they were named after {{w|Major Arcana|Major Arcana of the Tarot}} and then {{w|Ancient Egyptian deities}}, with their designs often featuring motifs of those cards or mythological figures. Towards the end of ''Stardust Crusaders'' and in all subsequent story arcs, Stand names are [[List of cultural references in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure|references to musicians, bands, albums, and songs]] from American, Australian, British, and European music scenes; only [[Chocolate Disco|one Stand]]'s name has ever referenced Japanese music.<ref name="JOJOVELLER">''[[JOJOVELLER]]: STANDS - Comments by Hirohiko Araki''</ref><br />
<br />
<!--T:6--><br />
Stands are also connected to an alien virus contained in the rock of a meteorite that fell in Cape York, Greenland. It is explained that the virus can infect people and for the most part kills them, but the few who survive are granted a Stand ability.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 552}}</ref><br />
<br />
==The User and their Stand== <!--T:7--><br />
The Stand is created from someone's psyche, which includes not only humans but also other living creatures. That individual is referred to as the Stand User. The User then gives their Stand a name and uses it for various purposes.<br />
[[File:Wounding_stand_demo.gif|thumb|left|250px|A Stand and the User usually share wounds]]<br />
Unless bound to a specific object or automatic, Stands are attached to their User's body. In that case, any damage the Stand sustains results in an equivalent injury on the User's body and vice-versa. Exceptions to this rule include automatic Stands and bound Stands, which usually do not reflect the damage into the User, or special abilities like [[Silver Chariot]]'s armor.<br />
<br />
<!--T:8--><br />
Except for rare occasions, when a Stand User dies, their Stand disappears with them. If a Stand suffers so much damage they are destroyed, the User dies as well. However, a User can survive with their Stand destroyed<ref>Chapter 126, [[Chapter 126|Silver Chariot Part 3]]</ref> if the Stand is automatic or depending on the level of the User's injury. Inversely, some Stands can survive beyond their Users through exceptional abilities like [[Notorious B.I.G]].<br />
<br />
<!--T:9--><br />
Since a Stand is the form of its User's psyche, they share an intimate psychic bond. First and foremost, Stands usually obey their Users' command without question. If a User demands it, the Stand will perform any task within its capacities, which includes attacking someone, defending the User, or any miscellaneous order. In the case a Stand is sentient, they can occasionally advise their User that an order is unwise but will carry it on all the same. Stands are also shown to protect their users in certain instances, such as when [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]] tries to shoot himself,<ref>Chapter 114, [[Chapter 114|Jotaro Kujo Part 1]]</ref> or [[Weather Report]] tries to commit suicide.<ref>SO Chapter 129, [[SO Chapter 129|Heavy Weather Part 5]]</ref><br />
[[File:Holly's Stand.png|thumb|209x209px|Holy falling sick from having a Stand]]<br />
However, there are instances when a Stand cannot be controlled by the User. It can be either automatic like [[Super Fly]] or the User can acquire a Stand but not have the fighting spirit to control it like [[Holy Kujo]].<ref name=":0">Chapter 121, [[Chapter 121|The Power called a "Stand"]]</ref> In both cases, a Stand can accidentally work against its user's interests through their unsupervised power. However, specifically in the second case, a Stand can go out of control and slowly kill its User like a disease. According to [[Muhammad Avdol]], the User becomes ill, then falls into a coma only to never wake up again; moreover, such occurrences are common enough for him to claim having witnessed many people succumbing to this.<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
<!--T:10--><br />
One of the defining rules about Stands is that someone may only have one Stand (at a time). Although Stands may take different forms, or be split into several entities, no one is able to summon several Stands at once. Although exceptional circumstances may lead to someone wielding several Stands, only one will be the User's real Stand. A Stand generally remains attached to its User, but it can sometimes change Users. For instance, it can be stolen from its original User, or if the Stand's ability involves changing User. Thanks to [[Whitesnake]]'s [[DISC]]s, a Stand can change Users but will act to protect its new User instead. Others Stands, like [[Anubis]] or [[Cheap Trick]], will actively try to change Users, and their malevolent nature makes them harm their Users instead of protecting them.<br />
<br />
<!--T:11--><br />
Occasionally, a Stand can emit a [[Stand Cry]], shouting repeatedly while delivering a beatdown.<br />
<br />
===Manipulating a Stand=== <!--T:12--><br />
When a User acquires their Stand, their control over it is partly instinctual but needs practice.<br />
<br />
<!--T:13--><br />
When a User discovers their Stand, they usually do not know anything about it and thus has to figure out what their power is. Sometimes the ability is straightforward and easy to understand like [[Koichi Hirose]]'s [[Echoes]], at other times a sentient Stand may explain the power directly to its User as [[Spice Girl]] did for [[Trish Una]],<ref>Chapter 538, [[Chapter 538|Notorious B.I.G. Part 6]]</ref> but sometimes the User will need time to know their Stand's power. For instance, both [[Dio Brando|DIO]] and Jotaro possessed their Stands for some time until they discovered that they could stop time.<ref name=":1">Chapter 257, [[Chapter 257|DIO's World, Part 11]]</ref><br />
[[File:Dio_discovers_timestop.gif|thumb|DIO discovers his power to stop time|251x251px|left]]<br />
Afterward, it is up to the User to discover what their Stand can really do with its ability. A Stand User will need practice to develop their Stand's potential and manipulate it in a more precise manner. Hidden subtleties and applications of the Stand's power may require time for the User to notice. [[Giorno Giovanna]], for example, had to use [[Gold Experience]] on [[Bruno Bucciarati]] in order to discover what its Life-Giving ability did to humans,<ref>Chapter 445, [[Chapter 445|Bucciarati's Coming Part 3]]</ref> and similarly had to figure out that its abilities could mend wounds.<ref>Chapter 504, [[Chapter 504|Baby Face Part 5]]</ref><br />
<br />
<!--T:14--><br />
To use a Stand, the User has to consciously summon it. Likewise, to use its power, the User has to command their Stand. Thus, Stand Users are still vulnerable to sneak attacks. This does not apply to automatic Stands which act by themselves.<br />
<br />
===Acquiring a Stand=== <!--T:15--><br />
{{See also|Bow and Arrow|Devil's Palm}}<br />
<br />
<!--T:16--><br />
[[File:Stand_Creation.gif|thumb|250px|A mystic Arrow can give Stand power]]In most cases, Stand Users are either born with the ability to use their Stands or with the potential to unlock one later in life. Without this potential, a person can not achieve a Stand through natural means. For those born with it, the trigger for unlocking one's Stand varies with the user but is generally derived through the refinement of their talents or skills throughout their life. As such, a Stand's awakening and abilities are often tied to the users' occupation.<ref>[[JOJOVELLER]]: STANDS | Techniques to Stands, p.319</ref> Notable users who acquired a Stand through natural means include [[Noriaki Kakyoin]], [[Muhammad Avdol]], [[Tonio Trussardi]], and [[Kenzou]]. The most widespread way to acquire use of a Stand is to be pierced by a special [[Arrow]] made from a meteor from outer space. If a person has the potential, they will survive being stabbed and acquire a Stand. Otherwise, the person will die. Notable people who unlock their Stand this way include [[Dio Brando|DIO]], [[Koichi Hirose]], [[Diavolo]], [[Enrico Pucci]], and [[Jolyne Cujoh]]. However, if a person is pierced by the Arrow and does not have the potential, but is healed afterward, they will still gain a Stand.<br />
<br />
<!--T:17--><br />
Moreover, if someone acquires a Stand this way, their existing descendants will also gain a Stand, although it may not manifest itself at first or be uncontrollable. In one such case, [[Jonathan Joestar]]'s body was pierced by the Arrow, causing every living member of the [[Joestar Family]] to awaken their own Stands. The way siblings acquire Stands is portrayed inconsistently: although Koichi Hirose awakened a Stand, his sister [[Ayana Hirose]] did not; however, the twins Enrico and Weather both awakened a Stand when Pucci was pierced. If a childless person acquires a Stand, their future children will have at least the potential of developing a Stand.<br />
<br />
<!--T:18--><br />
In the new continuity of ''[[Steel Ball Run]]'' and ''[[JoJolion]]'', the Arrows don't exist. The way most known Stand users have acquired their Stand is unknown. However, one confirmed method of acquiring a Stand is to survive going through a location named the [[Devil's Palm]], a shifting plot of land containing the [[Saint's Corpse]], which can bless someone and give them a Stand.<br />
<br />
==History of Stands== <!--T:19--><br />
{{See also|Bow and Arrow|Saint's Corpse}}<br />
<br />
<!--T:20--><br />
The "Stands" in JoJo can be conceptualized as a reification of hidden talent, with their source being a sort of energy that's been in the Earth since ancient times.<ref>[[Hirohiko Araki/Interviews|Hirohiko Araki]], 2006</ref> The oldest instance of a Stand User dates back to the 16th century with the death of [[Minor Characters/Part 3#Caravan Serai|Caravan Serai]] and the emancipation of his Stand, [[Anubis]].<br />
[[File:Stand history 1.png|thumb|208x208px|The Arrows' creator]]<br />
Appropriately 50,000 years ago, a meteorite crash landed on Earth around an underpopulated region of {{W|Cape York (Greenland)|Cape York}}, {{W|Greenland}}. Several hundred years before the discovery of the virus, a man who wished to acquire the power of gods took the rocks and fashioned them into a set of [[Arrow]]s whose fate is undetermined.<br />
<br />
<!--T:21--><br />
In 1978, a mineral excavation team discovered the meteorite and uncovered an unknown virus within the rocks of the surrounding area and determined that it has been laying dormant inside the meteorite that hit Earth long ago. Despite extensive research, government doctors were unable to determine the alien virus' purpose outside the culling of life. Akin to the theory of evolution, it was discovered that certain people possessed the quality that would allow them to survive when exposed to the virus, rewarding them new abilities as they surpassed the trial.<ref name="C552">Chapter 552: ''[[Chapter 552|Pronto! On the Line (2)]]'' p.13</ref><br />
<br />
<!--T:22--><br />
The Arrows resurface in 1986 when an Egyptian ruins investigation team uncovered six of them from underneath the Egypt desert. The Arrows were eventually stolen by [[Diavolo]], who sold five of them to [[Enya the Hag]]. The Arrows allowed the wielder to unlock Stand abilities in those who had the potential to awaken one, essentially acting as the aforementioned trigger. Thus since the '80s, there has a been a sharp rise in the population of Stand users. The six Arrows were eventually distributed to various people, among them were [[Keicho Nijimura]], [[Yoshihiro Kira]], [[Jean Pierre Polnareff]], and the [[Speedwagon Foundation]].<ref name="C569">Chapter 569: ''[[Chapter 569|A Brief Flashback]]'' p.13</ref><br />
<br />
====Second Continuity==== <!--T:23--><br />
In the later parts, the Stands were reintroduced but with unknown real origins. In Steel Ball Run, Stands were described as being granted by the Devil's Palm and the Saint's Corpse which both bestowed power to those that could seek them out and survive their presence. However, a number of Stand Users acquired their powers without ever stepping in America or meeting with the Corpse, most notably the characters of JoJolion.<br />
<br />
==Appearance== <!--T:24--><br />
[[File:StandAppearanceGraph.png|thumb||160px|left|Classification Graph]]<br />
{{Main|Stand Types#Form Types}}<br />
<br />
<!--T:25--><br />
Stands present themselves in a wide variety of forms. Some adopt a humanoid form, others, the appearance of an object or a tool. These Stands all share an inability to be viewed by ordinary humans, unless bound to physical objects. In addition, some Stands can simply be devoid of appearance, simply manifesting themselves as a special power.<br />
<br />
<!--T:26--><br />
Stands can be divided into 5 trends based on their appearance. Most of the Stands have features from two or more categories.<ref name="jojoagogo">[[JOJO A-GO!GO!]]: STANDS - Standlogy, pp. 84, 103-105, 118-120</ref><br />

|Natural Non-Humanoid<br />

This includes basic organisms such as animals and plants, but also more unorthodox concepts such as fog. Stands that may be described as "monster-like" are often applicable here. Stands in this category include [[Hermit Purple]], [[Tower of Gray]], [[Yellow Temperance]], [[Lovers]], [[Justice]], [[Sun]], [[Horus]], [[Stray Cat]], [[Sex Pistols]], [[The Grateful Dead]], [[Notorious B.I.G]], [[Metallica]], and [[Rolling Stones]].<br />

|Artificial Non-Humanoid<br />
| align="left" |Stands comparable to instruments or mechanical objects are placed in this category. This includes vehicles, weapons, and machines. Stands in this category include [[Strength]], [[Emperor]], [[Wheel of Fortune]], [[The Fool]], [[Ratt]], [[Aerosmith]], and [[Beach Boy]].<br />
|-<br />
|Phenomenon<br />
| align="left" |Stands in this category typically either don't have clear appearances or are integrated into their user's appearance. This includes Stands such as [[Tohth]], [[Khnum]], [[Tenore Sax]], [[Love Deluxe]], [[Achtung Baby]], and [[Atom Heart Father]].<br />
|}<br />
[[File:Anime_Child_Chariot.png|thumb|140px|Stands change with age]]<br />
A Stand's appearance is not set in stone. Stands change appearance as their Users age. As seen with [[Jean Pierre Polnareff]]'s [[Silver Chariot]]<ref>Chapter 206, [[Chapter 206|"God Sethan" Alessi Part 2]]</ref> or [[Jobin Higashikata]]'s [[Speed King]],<ref>JJL Chapter 64, [[JJL Chapter 64|The Plant Appraiser Part 1]]</ref> young Stand Users have typically childlike Stands and when they become adults, the Stands' features also become adult-like. A special category of Stands that can evolve into different forms or ACTs, is also able to change form and therefore appearance. Finally, a Stand pierced by the [[Bow and Arrow]] can evolve into a brand new form called a [[Stand Types|Requiem Stand]].<br />
<br />
<!--T:27--><br />
When a Stand is injured, they may either bleed like an organic being, crumble into ashes, fizzle out in flashes of light, or break into small pieces like a statue.<br />
<br />
<!--T:28--><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
==Behavior== <!--T:29--><br />
[[File:Anubis_&_Chariot.gif|thumb|left|250px|Some Stands emote, but most don't]]<br />
Most Stands display no personality, sometimes because they do not have a form with which to emote, but the majority of humanoid Stands simply hover behind and above the user awaiting a command. Some Stands display bits of personalities through facial expressions, but it is ambiguous whether the emotions come from the Stand or simply reflect the User's state of mind.<br />
<br />
<!--T:30--><br />
For unknown reasons, a handful of Stands do have a separate consciousness from their Users. They are sentient and can converse with their Users whenever they are summoned. Although they display a variety of personalities, most still obey their Users to the letter. Examples of such Stands include Echoes, Spice Girl, and Whitesnake. Rarely, these Stands are uncontrollable and have no true master, and instead, move from host to host and actively seek to harm their "user" with their powers. Anubis and [[Cheap Trick]] are examples of such Stands.<br />
<br />
<!--T:31--><br />
Whenever a Stand talks, their otherworldly nature is indicated in the original manga material as a text written with {{W|Katakana}}. In the case of audiovisual media such as the anime or a video game, a Stand's voice will possess a ghostly echo and mechanical tone.<br />
<br />
==Abilities== <!--T:32--><br />
{{Main|Stand Types}}<br />
<br />
<!--T:33--><br />
Each Stand possesses supernatural properties as well as a special, unique power, indirectly granting its User superhuman abilities:<br />
[[File:SP_steals_no_dignity.gif|thumb|211x211px|Stands can act unseen from most]]<br />
<br />
<!--T:34--><br />
*In general, a Stand is invisible to normal humans, yet can interact with normal objects. It allows the User to use their Stand unnoticed by a large majority of the population. The mundane use of a Stand has been likened to a poltergeist phenomenon by normal people. Even a Stand's power is invisible for ordinary humans; for instance, normal people cannot see [[Magician's Red]]'s flames but can feel its heat.<ref>Chapter 115, [[Chapter 115|Jotaro Kujo Part 2]]</ref><br />
*Stands are ethereal and, as a result, possess intangibility. It is uncommon but not unheard of for Stand Users to channel their Stands inside their bodies to protect themselves, using their Stand's superhuman durability to their advantage. It is even more uncommon for Stands to phase through objects, but the possibility exists.<br />
*[[File:only Stands can hurt Stands.gif|211x211px|thumb|Only Stands can harm Stands]]A Stand is invulnerable to any harm except against another Stand or if their Stand User is harmed.<br />
*As psychic projections, Users can also communicate through their Stands. Barring rare exceptions, a Stand User typically shares their consciousness with their Stand and is able to see through its eyes. Moreover, a Stand User can also speak through their Stand, enabling a form of distant communication. However, the Stand must have a mouth or otherwise be able to speak to do so. Notable examples include [[Star Platinum]], [[Death Thirteen]], [[Highway Star]] and [[King Crimson]].<br />
*Users possess the ability to shrink their Stands to a microscopic level, but the one time it was shown, Polnareff indicated that it was difficult to manipulate the Stand at such a subtle level and that it was taxing to maintain the small size,<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 163}}</ref> making that property impractical in most cases.<br />
<br />
===Power=== <!--T:35--><br />
Each Stand possesses an esoteric and unique power that defines it and sets it apart from other Stands.<br />
[[File:SC_v_MR.gif|thumb|left|250px|A sword Stand and a fire Stand]]<br />
A Stand's power can wildly vary between Stands. The nature of the power can range from relatively mundane powers such as using a sword or controlling flames to extremely powerful ones such as the ability to manipulate the flow of time. These powers have many different subtleties, such as a limited range or a special way of manifesting themselves, that can be exploited during a fight. For instance, [[Sticky Fingers]] can create zippers on any surface, but it has to hit an object with its hand to be able to create them. It is up to the User to know how to protect themselves or use their enemy's weakness to their advantage.<br />
<br />
<!--T:36--><br />
The User is sometimes immune, or protected to a degree against the power of their Stand. For instance, [[Prosciutto]] can stay young despite his [[The Grateful Dead]] aging everyone around it. However, the reverse is just as widespread, as Stand Users like [[Pannacotta Fugo]] with [[Purple Haze]]'s virus, and Muhammad Avdol and Magician's Red's flames are stated to be just as vulnerable.<br />
<br />
<!--T:37--><br />
In rare cases, Stands can have the same abilities. Usually, siblings like the [[Daniel J. D'Arby|D'Arby]] [[Telence T. D'Arby|Brothers]] or [[Bug-Eaten|two]] [[Not Bug-Eaten|rats]] can roughly have the same power.<br />
<br />
<!--T:38--><br />
Barring rare exceptions, if the Stand is destroyed or the User is knocked out, the Stand's power immediately disappears and any modification to the environment due to its power is reversed.<br />
<br />
<!--T:39--><br />
Each Stand is unique, but many share enough characteristics that they may be grouped under specific Stand Types. Very uncommon [[Stand Types|special stands]] may appear in the story from time to time due to exceptional circumstances.<br />
<br />
===Range=== <!--T:40--><br />
[[File:Stand range demo.gif|thumb|266x266px|Great power can be offset by short range]]<br />
One of the most important features of a Stand is its range. Stands in principle can only be used within a predetermined range centering around the Stand's owner. As such, for the sake of convenience, the range that a Stand can perform abilities is referred to as {{nihongo|"Firing Range"|射程距離}}. A Stand's range and accuracy are inversely proportional; the further the Stand moves away from its firing range, the weaker and less subtle it becomes. This principle is applied to almost all Stands. Furthermore, this can be construed more specifically as an "effective firing range", as a Stand will only gradually lose effectiveness the further it deviates from its firing range, rather than just relinquish immediately.<ref name="jojoagogo" /> The Stand's range is effectively just the range where it can optimally perform, though this can notably fluctuate depending on the emotional state of the user.<ref><sub>Crazy Diamond - Vol.12 "[[Shueisha Jump Remix]] ''Diamond is Unbreakable'' Edition" P94 What is the STAND?</sub></ref><br />
<br />
<!--T:41--><br />
From a general point of view, all Stands can be roughly divided into two types: "Short distance", and "long distance". As a trend, short-range types display great power, many of which excel at direct blows or destruction (Silver Chariot, Crazy Diamond, Sticky Fingers, etc.), and are often referred to a "Power Types". Long-range types typically have a special ability that can let them indirectly attack. (Hierophant Green, Echoes ACT1, Beach Boy, etc.)<br />
<br />
<!--T:42--><br />
Some long-distance types are referred to as "Automatic Pilot", in which the "power vs distance from user" principle does not apply. This is exactly what is touched upon in the third Stand theorem, in that autopilot types are typically an extension of an "effect" that results in a Stand triggering. As such, these Stands are independent of the Stand User's will and mental strength, and their power does not drop as a result. As a related note, certain Stand abilities do not have specified ranges (Earth Wind and Fire), an example being time-based powers, such as The World or King Crimson.<ref name="jojoagogo" /><br />
<br />
===Stand Parameters=== <!--T:43--><br />
{{See also|Stand Stats}}<br />
[[File:Standstats.png|thumb|borderless|{{ImageSize}}|Example of Stand parameters displayed ([[Star Platinum]]) in JOJOVELLER]]<br />
{{nihongo|'''Stand Parameters'''|スタンドパラメータ|Sutando Paramēta}}, or '''Stand Statistics''' are six statistics used outside of the story to gauge a Stand's capabilities. Some parameters refer to specific abilities of the Stand, such as in the case of [[Moody Blues]] and [[Whitesnake]]. They are in order (clockwise from top): Destructive Power, Speed, Range, Persistence, Precision, and Developmental Potential. <br />
<br />
<!--T:44--><br />
*{{Nihongo|'''Destructive Power'''|破壊力|Hakairyoku}}:<br />
<br />
<!--T:45--><br />
Measures the Stand's strength and ability to cause destruction (physical injury or collateral environmental damage) in a given period of time. Close-Range Stands such as [[Star Platinum]], [[The World]], [[Crazy Diamond]], [[Killer Queen]], [[Gold Experience]] and [[Stone Free]] will typically boast high destructive power (Rank C or higher). There are also cases like [[C-Moon]], where destructive power is low or not applicable, despite having fairly destructive abilities.<br />
<br />
<!--T:46--><br />
*{{Nihongo|'''Speed'''|スピード|Supīdo}}:<br />
<br />
<!--T:47--><br />
Measures the Stand's agility and reflexes as well as performance speed. This is also typically evaluated fairly high for Close-range Stands. Sometimes it can be strengthened through training, such as with Stands like [[Silver Chariot]].<br />
<br />
<!--T:48--><br />
*{{Nihongo|'''Range'''|射程距離|Shatei Kyori}}:<br />
<br />
<!--T:49--><br />
Measures a compromise of the Stand's range of manifestation, range of ability influence, and spatial mobility. In most cases it is inversely proportional to destructive power. However, there are cases where both power and range are excellent, such as [[Red Hot Chili Pepper]] and [[Weather Report (Stand)|Weather Report]]. In addition, a Stand's range may decrease due to evolution, such as with [[Echoes]] and [[Made in Heaven]].<br />
<br />
<!--T:50--><br />
*{{Nihongo|'''Power Persistence'''|持続力|Jizoku-ryoku}}:<br />
<br />
<!--T:51--><br />
Measures the duration of time that the Stand can actively maintain its ability. It can also be used in the sense of the time it takes before a special ability can be activated again, such as [[Star Platinum#Star Platinum: The World|Star Platinum: The World]]'s time stop.<br />
<br />
<!--T:52--><br />
*{{Nihongo|'''Precision'''|精密動作性|Seimitsu Dōsa-sei}}:<br />
<br />
<!--T:53--><br />
Measures the Stand's accuracy and range of influence/effect of their abilities to specified targets. Automatic type Stands are generally evaluated with Rank D or under with [[Boy II Man|a few]] [[Marilyn Manson|exceptions]].<br />
<br />
<!--T:54--><br />
*{{nihongo|'''Development Potential'''|成長性|Seichō-sei}}:<br />
<br />
<!--T:55--><br />
Measures the Stand's possible functions, utilization of its abilities and powers, and capacity to improve its overall capabilities. It decreases in rank as the user masters their Stand. For example, [[Jotaro Kujo]]'s [[Star Platinum]] is Rank A in Developmental Potential during ''[[Stardust Crusaders]]'', but is given Rank C during ''[[Stone Ocean]]'', as Jotaro has had many years to hone Star Platinum's power. However, Rank C implies that all of Star Platinum's possible abilities and functions still had not been discovered or figured out by that time. For a Stand to gain an E-Ranking, it means that either their Stand user discovered all of their Stand's abilities or the Stand came with very few abilities and thus cannot grow any more than it has. Stands such as [[Green Day]] and Notorious B.I.G, with infinitely increasing abilities, will be evaluated very high in this parameter.<br />
<br />
<!--T:56--><br />
Each statistic is ranked from A to E; though rankings of [[Gold Experience Requiem|None]] and [[Notorious B.I.G.|In]][[Bohemian Rhapsody|fi]][[Made in Heaven|ni]][[Remote Romance|te]] are also possible. If a rank is Unknown, it will show a question mark (?); this is usually because the Stand or its full capabilities have not yet been revealed in the storyline. Rankings are defined as follows:<br />
<br />
<!--T:57--><br />
:A: {{nihongo|'''Very Good'''|超スゴイ|Chō Sugoi}}<br />
:B: {{nihongo|'''Good'''|スゴイ|Sugoi}}<br />
:C: {{nihongo|'''Average'''|人間と同じ|Ningen to Onaji|lit. "Comparable to a Human"}}<br />
:D: {{nihongo|'''Poor'''|ニガテ|Nigate}}<br />
:E: {{nihongo|'''Very Poor'''|超ニガテ|Chō Nigate}}<br />
<br />
<!--T:58--><br />
They are first seen in the artbook ''[[JOJO A-GO!GO!]]'', later in canon from ''[[Vento Aureo]]'' onward as Stands are shown with their parameters along with their name and ability description. ''Steel Ball Run'' and ''JoJolion'' do not display parameters, but Stands introduced during these arcs are given them in [[:Category:Artbook|artbooks]].<br />
<br />
====Gallery==== <!--T:59--><br />
In the anime from [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders]] onward, Stand parameters appear as {{W|Eyecatch}} illustrations displayed after commercials. In [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable]], a silhouette of the Stand User is displayed as well. In [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind]], eyecatches are stylized by a spinning gold coin which transitions into the Stand and its information.<br />
<br />
<!--T:60--><br />
Stand Parameters are also used in weekly web radio programs like ''[[ORAORAdio]]'' and ''[[Morioh RADIO 4 GREAT]]'' to rate the hosts and guests.<br />

==Conception== <!--T:62--><br />
Araki had conceived his idea of Stand following a need to illustrate his character's abilities and drew inspiration from several sources. As the [[Vampires]] and therefore the Ripple which was needed to fight them, became less relevant, there was a need to innovate the way characters in the series would fight each other. Araki mentions several trains of thought which would eventually lead into the creation of the Stands.<br />
<br />
<!--T:63--><br />
In several instances, Araki says that he was influenced by spiritualism, the ancestor cult of the Shinto religion giving him the idea of an otherworldly being protecting someone.<ref>[[Interview Archive]], Animeland (06/01/2003) </ref><ref>[[Interview Archive]], French Reportage 09/20/06</ref> Moreover, Yokai legends and folklore would become one of the main inspirations for the Stands' appearances.<ref name=":2">[[Interview Archive]], JOJO 6251</ref> Araki also claimed that the concept of Stands were inspired by the 'guardian spirit' from Jiro Tsunoda's Ushiro no Hyakutarō manga.<ref name="WSB100Q">[[Interview Archive#Weekly Shonen Brackets 100Q (04/05/2003)|Weekly Shonen Brackets 100Q (04/05/2003)]]</ref><br />
<br />
<!--T:64--><br />
Alternatively, starting from the idea of psychic powers, Araki mentions that his natural skepticism about psychic powers inspired him to draw a psychic entity summoned by the characters. His interrogation about how psychic powers could affect the physical world without any medium led him into illustrating the psychic powers through Stands, which could make the reader visualize the way characters affected the world with their minds.<ref name=":2" /> Araki mentions having in mind a punching fist coming out of the body to break an object, and thought that anything could be drawn, giving him a lot of artistic liberty.<ref>[[Interview Archive]], JOJO PS2</ref><br />
<br />
==Trivia== <!--T:65--><br />
<br />
<!--T:66--><br />
*Araki explains that Stand abilities are often the first element he thinks of when he creates a character, and that he then develops the character's personality and appearance based on the harmony with said Stand power.<ref name=":2" /><ref>[[Manga in Theory and Practice]]; Chapter 3: Designing Characters; Special Abilities and Finishing Moves, the origins of Stands.</ref><br />
*Starting from Part 3 to Part 6, the name of each Stand that is used by the main protagonists are referring to their own representative sub-titles (e.g. '''[[Star Platinum|Star]]''' [[Star Platinum|Platinum]], Stand of [[Jotaro Kujo]] from '''[[Stardust Crusaders|Star]]'''[[Stardust Crusaders|dust Crusaders]]).<br />
** Like characters named after musical acts, the names of Stands names after musicians, albums or the such have historically been [[Name Variants|the subject of renaming in English localization of JoJo material]], so as to avoid trademark infringement. These altered names have become a common point of chagrin and humor among ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' fans within the Anglosphere, most notably the renaming of [[Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap]] to "Filthy Acts at a Reasonable Price".<br />
* While in the original universe Stand was written as 幽波紋, in Steel Ball Run, {{Nihongo|立ち向かうもの}} was briefly used by [[Mountain Tim]], which literally means "the thing that confronts".<br />
*Currently, Stands that don't have an anime version of their Stand parameters are [[Tenore Sax]], [[Love Deluxe]], [[Echoes]] (ACT 2), [[Achtung Baby]], [[Ratt]], and [[Boy II Man]].<br />

And since it stands next to you, it is called... a '''Stand'''!|Joseph Joestar, {{Ch2|Chapter 116}}}}<br />
<br />
<!--T:2--><br />
A {{Nihongo|'''Stand'''|スタンド|Sutando}} is a physical manifestation of a person's {{nihongo|"life energy"|生命エネルギー|Seimei enerugī}}.<ref>[[JOJOVELLER]]: STANDS | Definition of a Stand, p.316</ref> It is a power unique to the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series.<br />
<br />
<!--T:3--><br />
A Stand is an entity psychically generated by its owner, referred to as a {{Nihongo4|'''Stand User'''|スタンド使い|Sutando Tsukai}}.<ref>[[Chapter 139]], Yellow Temperance Part 4</ref> It generally presents itself as an ethereal figure hovering over or near the user and possesses abilities beyond that of an ordinary human, which, depending on the Stand User, can be wielded for good or evil.<br />
<br />
==Definition== <!--T:4--><br />
Stands are defined as personifications of "life energy" whose abilities are given visual form. When first presented, the term is written as {{nihongo|"Stand"|{{ruby|幽波紋|スタンド}}|Sutando}},<ref>''Chapter 116: [[Chapter 116|Jotaro Kujo (3)]], pg. 7''</ref> with {{w|furigana}} to change the pronunciation of what literally means {{nihongo|"Ghostly [[Ripple]]"|幽波紋|Yūhamon}} in {{w|kanji}}. According to [[Joseph Joestar]], the name "Stand" comes from the fact the vast majority of Stands usually manifest themselves standing next to the User: ready to act on their command.<br />
[[File:Stand battles.gif|left|thumb|265x265px|Stands are typically used in battle]]<br />
A Stand can also represent the manifestation of an individual's innate "fighting spirit" and embodies, to an extent, the individual's psyche. However, Stands may also derive through the exploration of possibilities and expression of the mind, in which case, only a large amount of mental strength is required. Beyond that definition, Stands present themselves in a large variety of forms and with different behaviors, if they are sentient at all. They follow a loose set of rules, with no definite standard by which one can fully classify them. As an embodiment of someone's psyche, Stands are therefore as varied as human minds can be.<br />
<br />
<!--T:5--><br />
Due to their diversity, Stands are not made equal. Some can be incredibly powerful due to their User's outstanding grit, others can be highly situational because of a defining quirk of character, or even detrimental to their User if they do not have the necessary fighting spirit.[[File:JotaroStandCard.png|thumb|Star Platinum, the "Star" card]] When Stands were first introduced in ''[[Stardust Crusaders]]'', they were named after {{w|Major Arcana|Major Arcana of the Tarot}} and then {{w|Ancient Egyptian deities}}, with their designs often featuring motifs of those cards or mythological figures. Towards the end of ''Stardust Crusaders'' and in all subsequent story arcs, Stand names are [[List of cultural references in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure|references to musicians, bands, albums, and songs]] from American, Australian, British, and European music scenes; only [[Chocolate Disco|one Stand]]'s name has ever referenced Japanese music.<ref name="JOJOVELLER">''[[JOJOVELLER]]: STANDS - Comments by Hirohiko Araki''</ref><br />
<br />
<!--T:6--><br />
Stands are also connected to an alien virus contained in the rock of a meteorite that fell in Cape York, Greenland. It is explained that the virus can infect people and for the most part kills them, but the few who survive are granted a Stand ability.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 552}}</ref><br />
<br />
==The User and their Stand== <!--T:7--><br />
The Stand is created from someone's psyche, which includes not only humans but also other living creatures. That individual is referred to as the Stand User. The User then gives their Stand a name and uses it for various purposes.<br />
[[File:Wounding_stand_demo.gif|thumb|left|250px|A Stand and the User usually share wounds]]<br />
Unless bound to a specific object or automatic, Stands are attached to their User's body. In that case, any damage the Stand sustains results in an equivalent injury on the User's body and vice-versa. Exceptions to this rule include automatic Stands and bound Stands, which usually do not reflect the damage into the User, or special abilities like [[Silver Chariot]]'s armor.<br />
<br />
<!--T:8--><br />
Except for rare occasions, when a Stand User dies, their Stand disappears with them. If a Stand suffers so much damage they are destroyed, the User dies as well. However, a User can survive with their Stand destroyed<ref>Chapter 126, [[Chapter 126|Silver Chariot Part 3]]</ref> if the Stand is automatic or depending on the level of the User's injury. Inversely, some Stands can survive beyond their Users through exceptional abilities like [[Notorious B.I.G]].<br />
<br />
<!--T:9--><br />
Since a Stand is the form of its User's psyche, they share an intimate psychic bond. First and foremost, Stands usually obey their Users' command without question. If a User demands it, the Stand will perform any task within its capacities, which includes attacking someone, defending the User, or any miscellaneous order. In the case a Stand is sentient, they can occasionally advise their User that an order is unwise but will carry it on all the same. Stands are also shown to protect their users in certain instances, such as when [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]] tries to shoot himself,<ref>Chapter 114, [[Chapter 114|Jotaro Kujo Part 1]]</ref> or [[Weather Report]] tries to commit suicide.<ref>SO Chapter 129, [[SO Chapter 129|Heavy Weather Part 5]]</ref><br />
[[File:Holly's Stand.png|thumb|209x209px|Holy falling sick from having a Stand]]<br />
However, there are instances when a Stand cannot be controlled by the User. It can be either automatic like [[Super Fly]] or the User can acquire a Stand but not have the fighting spirit to control it like [[Holy Kujo]].<ref name=":0">Chapter 121, [[Chapter 121|The Power called a "Stand"]]</ref> In both cases, a Stand can accidentally work against its user's interests through their unsupervised power. However, specifically in the second case, a Stand can go out of control and slowly kill its User like a disease. According to [[Muhammad Avdol]], the User becomes ill, then falls into a coma only to never wake up again; moreover, such occurrences are common enough for him to claim having witnessed many people succumbing to this.<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
<!--T:10--><br />
One of the defining rules about Stands is that someone may only have one Stand (at a time). Although Stands may take different forms, or be split into several entities, no one is able to summon several Stands at once. Although exceptional circumstances may lead to someone wielding several Stands, only one will be the User's real Stand. A Stand generally remains attached to its User, but it can sometimes change Users. For instance, it can be stolen from its original User, or if the Stand's ability involves changing User. Thanks to [[Whitesnake]]'s [[DISC]]s, a Stand can change Users but will act to protect its new User instead. Others Stands, like [[Anubis]] or [[Cheap Trick]], will actively try to change Users, and their malevolent nature makes them harm their Users instead of protecting them.<br />
<br />
<!--T:11--><br />
Occasionally, a Stand can emit a [[Stand Cry]], shouting repeatedly while delivering a beatdown.<br />
<br />
===Manipulating a Stand=== <!--T:12--><br />
When a User acquires their Stand, their control over it is partly instinctual but needs practice.<br />
<br />
<!--T:13--><br />
When a User discovers their Stand, they usually do not know anything about it and thus has to figure out what their power is. Sometimes the ability is straightforward and easy to understand like [[Koichi Hirose]]'s [[Echoes]], at other times a sentient Stand may explain the power directly to its User as [[Spice Girl]] did for [[Trish Una]],<ref>Chapter 538, [[Chapter 538|Notorious B.I.G. Part 6]]</ref> but sometimes the User will need time to know their Stand's power. For instance, both [[Dio Brando|DIO]] and Jotaro possessed their Stands for some time until they discovered that they could stop time.<ref name=":1">Chapter 257, [[Chapter 257|DIO's World, Part 11]]</ref><br />
[[File:Dio_discovers_timestop.gif|thumb|DIO discovers his power to stop time|251x251px|left]]<br />
Afterward, it is up to the User to discover what their Stand can really do with its ability. A Stand User will need practice to develop their Stand's potential and manipulate it in a more precise manner. Hidden subtleties and applications of the Stand's power may require time for the User to notice. [[Giorno Giovanna]], for example, had to use [[Gold Experience]] on [[Bruno Bucciarati]] in order to discover what its Life-Giving ability did to humans,<ref>Chapter 445, [[Chapter 445|Bucciarati's Coming Part 3]]</ref> and similarly had to figure out that its abilities could mend wounds.<ref>Chapter 504, [[Chapter 504|Baby Face Part 5]]</ref><br />
<br />
<!--T:14--><br />
To use a Stand, the User has to consciously summon it. Likewise, to use its power, the User has to command their Stand. Thus, Stand Users are still vulnerable to sneak attacks. This does not apply to automatic Stands which act by themselves.<br />
<br />
===Acquiring a Stand=== <!--T:15--><br />
{{See also|Bow and Arrow|Devil's Palm}}<br />
<br />
<!--T:16--><br />
[[File:Stand_Creation.gif|thumb|250px|A mystic Arrow can give Stand power]]In most cases, Stand Users are either born with the ability to use their Stands or with the potential to unlock one later in life. Without this potential, a person can not achieve a Stand through natural means. For those born with it, the trigger for unlocking one's Stand varies with the user but is generally derived through the refinement of their talents or skills throughout their life. As such, a Stand's awakening and abilities are often tied to the users' occupation.<ref>[[JOJOVELLER]]: STANDS | Techniques to Stands, p.319</ref> Notable users who acquired a Stand through natural means include [[Noriaki Kakyoin]], [[Muhammad Avdol]], [[Tonio Trussardi]], and [[Kenzou]]. The most widespread way to acquire use of a Stand is to be pierced by a special [[Arrow]] made from a meteor from outer space. If a person has the potential, they will survive being stabbed and acquire a Stand. Otherwise, the person will die. Notable people who unlock their Stand this way include [[Dio Brando|DIO]], [[Koichi Hirose]], [[Diavolo]], [[Enrico Pucci]], and [[Jolyne Cujoh]]. However, if a person is pierced by the Arrow and does not have the potential, but is healed afterward, they will gain a Stand.<br />
<br />
<!--T:17--><br />
Moreover, if someone acquires a Stand this way, their existing descendants will also gain a Stand, although it may not manifest itself at first or be uncontrollable. In one such case, [[Jonathan Joestar]]'s body was pierced by the Arrow, causing every living member of the [[Joestar Family]] to awaken their own Stands. The way siblings acquire Stands is portrayed inconsistently: although Koichi Hirose awakened a Stand, his sister [[Ayana Hirose]] did not; however, the twins Enrico and Weather both awakened a Stand when Pucci was pierced. If a childless person acquires a Stand, their future children will have at least the potential of developing a Stand.<br />
<br />
<!--T:18--><br />
In the new continuity of ''[[Steel Ball Run]]'' and ''[[JoJolion]]'', the Arrows don't exist. The way most known Stand users have acquired their Stand is unknown. However, one confirmed method of acquiring a Stand is to survive going through a location named the [[Devil's Palm]], a shifting plot of land containing the [[Saint's Corpse]], which can bless someone and give them a Stand.<br />
<br />
==History of Stands== <!--T:19--><br />
{{See also|Bow and Arrow|Saint's Corpse}}<br />
<br />
<!--T:20--><br />
The "Stands" in JoJo can be conceptualized as a reification of hidden talent, with their source being a sort of energy that's been in the Earth since ancient times.<ref>[[Hirohiko Araki/Interviews|Hirohiko Araki]], 2006</ref> The oldest instance of a Stand User dates back to the 16th century with the death of [[Minor Characters/Part 3#Caravan Serai|Caravan Serai]] and the emancipation of his Stand, [[Anubis]].<br />
[[File:Stand history 1.png|thumb|208x208px|The Arrows' creator]]<br />
Appropriately 50,000 years ago, a meteorite crash landed on Earth around an underpopulated region of {{W|Cape York (Greenland)|Cape York}}, {{W|Greenland}}. Several hundred years before the discovery of the virus, a man who wished to acquire the power of gods took the rocks and fashioned them into a set of [[Arrow]]s whose fate is undetermined.<br />
<br />
<!--T:21--><br />
In 1978, a mineral excavation team discovered the meteorite and uncovered an unknown virus within the rocks of the surrounding area and determined that it has been laying dormant inside the meteorite that hit Earth long ago. Despite extensive research, government doctors were unable to determine the alien virus' purpose outside the culling of life. Akin to the theory of evolution, it was discovered that certain people possessed the quality that would allow them to survive when exposed to the virus, rewarding them new abilities as they surpassed the trial.<ref name="C552">Chapter 552: ''[[Chapter 552|Pronto! On the Line (2)]]'' p.13</ref><br />
<br />
<!--T:22--><br />
The Arrows resurface in 1986 when an Egyptian ruins investigation team uncovered six of them from underneath the Egypt desert. The Arrows were eventually stolen by [[Diavolo]], who sold five of them to [[Enya the Hag]]. The Arrows allowed the wielder to unlock Stand abilities in those who had the potential to awaken one, essentially acting as the aforementioned trigger. Thus since the '80s, there has a been a sharp rise in the population of Stand users. The six Arrows were eventually distributed to various people, among them were [[Keicho Nijimura]], [[Yoshihiro Kira]], [[Jean Pierre Polnareff]], and the [[Speedwagon Foundation]].<ref name="C569">Chapter 569: ''[[Chapter 569|A Brief Flashback]]'' p.13</ref><br />
<br />
====Second Continuity==== <!--T:23--><br />
In the later parts, the Stands were reintroduced but with unknown real origins. In Steel Ball Run, Stands were described as being granted by the Devil's Palm and the Saint's Corpse which both bestowed power to those that could seek them out and survive their presence. However, a number of Stand Users acquired their powers without ever stepping in America or meeting with the Corpse, most notably the characters of JoJolion.<br />
<br />
==Appearance== <!--T:24--><br />
[[File:StandAppearanceGraph.png|thumb||160px|left|Classification Graph]]<br />
{{Main|Stand Types#Form Types}}<br />
<br />
<!--T:25--><br />
Stands present themselves in a wide variety of forms. Some adopt a humanoid form, others, the appearance of an object or a tool. These Stands all share an inability to be viewed by ordinary humans, unless bound to physical objects. In addition, some Stands can simply be devoid of appearance, simply manifesting themselves as a special power.<br />
<br />
<!--T:26--><br />
Stands can be divided into 5 trends based on their appearance. Most of the Stands have features from two or more categories.<ref name="jojoagogo">[[JOJO A-GO!GO!]]: STANDS - Standlogy, pp. 84, 103-105, 118-120</ref><br />
{{-}}<br />
{| class="wikitable high-light"<br />
| style="background:#eddaed; width:15%;" align="left" |'''Classification'''<br />
| style="background:#eddaed; width:85%;" align="center" |'''Summary'''<br />
|-<br />
|Natural Humanoid<br />
| align="left" |Stands in this category have physical characteristics similar to human beings, most often their users. Obvious identifiable features include arms and legs, but the category distinctly specifies appendages that are reminiscent of the human muscular system as well as having working eyes and mouth. Stands that apply to this category include [[Star Platinum]], [[Magician's Red]], [[Hanged Man]], [[The World]], [[Crazy Diamond]], [[Heaven's Door]], [[Killer Queen]], [[Gold Experience]], [[Sticky Fingers]], [[Purple Haze]], [[Baby Face]], [[Spice Girl]], and [[Chariot Requiem]].<br />
|-<br />
|Artificial Humanoid<br />
| align="left" |While also having humanoid-like bodies, Stands in this category will often feature artificial or mechanical nuances that separate them from natural humanoids. This includes having completely non-humanoid facial features and mechanical joints. Appearances that resemble robots, cyborgs or androids are applicable here. Examples of Artificial Humanoids include [[Hierophant Green]], [[Silver Chariot]], [[Ebony Devil]], [[Death Thirteen]], [[Osiris]], [[Cream]], [[The Hand]], [[Bad Company]], [[Cinderella]], [[Echoes]], [[Black Sabbath]], [[Moody Blues]], [[White Album]], and [[Green Day]].<br />
|-<br />
|Natural Non-Humanoid<br />
| align="left" |This category features Stands that, while not human-like, are reminiscent of other lifeforms or objects in nature. This includes basic organisms such as animals and plants, but also more unorthodox concepts such as fog. Stands that may be described as "monster-like" are often applicable here. Stands in this category include [[Hermit Purple]], [[Tower of Gray]], [[Yellow Temperance]], [[Lovers]], [[Justice]], [[Sun]], [[Horus]], [[Stray Cat]], [[Sex Pistols]], [[The Grateful Dead]], [[Notorious B.I.G]], [[Metallica]], and [[Rolling Stones]].<br />
|-<br />
|Artificial Non-Humanoid<br />
| align="left" |Stands comparable to instruments or mechanical objects are placed in this category. This includes vehicles, weapons, and machines. Stands in this category include [[Strength]], [[Emperor]], [[Wheel of Fortune]], [[The Fool]], [[Ratt]], [[Aerosmith]], and [[Beach Boy]].<br />
|-<br />
|Phenomenon<br />
| align="left" |Stands in this category typically either don't have clear appearances or are integrated into their user's appearance. This includes Stands such as [[Tohth]], [[Khnum]], [[Tenore Sax]], [[Love Deluxe]], [[Achtung Baby]], and [[Atom Heart Father]].<br />
|}<br />
[[File:Anime_Child_Chariot.png|thumb|140px|Stands change with age]]<br />
A Stand's appearance is not set in stone. Stands change appearance as their Users age. As seen with [[Jean Pierre Polnareff]]'s [[Silver Chariot]]<ref>Chapter 206, [[Chapter 206|"God Sethan" Alessi Part 2]]</ref> or [[Jobin Higashikata]]'s [[Speed King]],<ref>JJL Chapter 64, [[JJL Chapter 64|The Plant Appraiser Part 1]]</ref> young Stand Users have typically childlike Stands and when they become adults, the Stands' features also become adult-like. A special category of Stands that can evolve into different forms or ACTs, is also able to change form and therefore appearance. Finally, a Stand pierced by the [[Bow and Arrow]] can evolve into a brand new form called a [[Stand Types|Requiem Stand]].<br />
<br />
<!--T:27--><br />
When a Stand is injured, they may either bleed like an organic being, crumble into ashes, fizzle out in flashes of light, or break into small pieces like a statue.<br />
<br />
<!--T:28--><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
==Behavior== <!--T:29--><br />
[[File:Anubis_&_Chariot.gif|thumb|left|250px|Some Stands emote, but most don't]]<br />
Most Stands display no personality, sometimes because they do not have a form with which to emote, but the majority of humanoid Stands simply hover behind and above the user awaiting a command. Some Stands display bits of personalities through facial expressions, but it is ambiguous whether the emotions come from the Stand or simply reflect the User's state of mind.<br />
<br />
<!--T:30--><br />
For unknown reasons, a handful of Stands do have a separate consciousness from their Users. They are sentient and can converse with their Users whenever they are summoned. Although they display a variety of personalities, most still obey their Users to the letter. Examples of such Stands include Echoes, Spice Girl, and Whitesnake. Rarely, these Stands are uncontrollable and have no true master, and instead, move from host to host and actively seek to harm their "user" with their powers. Anubis and [[Cheap Trick]] are examples of such Stands.<br />
<br />
<!--T:31--><br />
Whenever a Stand talks, their otherworldly nature is indicated in the original manga material as a text written with {{W|Katakana}}. In the case of audiovisual media such as the anime or a video game, a Stand's voice will possess a ghostly echo and mechanical tone.<br />
<br />
==Abilities== <!--T:32--><br />
{{Main|Stand Types}}<br />
<br />
<!--T:33--><br />
Each Stand possesses supernatural properties as well as a special, unique power, indirectly granting its User superhuman abilities:<br />
[[File:SP_steals_no_dignity.gif|thumb|211x211px|Stands can act unseen from most]]<br />
<br />
<!--T:34--><br />
*In general, a Stand is invisible to normal humans, yet can interact with normal objects. It allows the User to use their Stand unnoticed by a large majority of the population. The mundane use of a Stand has been likened to a poltergeist phenomenon by normal people. Even a Stand's power is invisible for ordinary humans; for instance, normal people cannot see [[Magician's Red]]'s flames but can feel its heat.<ref>Chapter 115, [[Chapter 115|Jotaro Kujo Part 2]]</ref><br />
*Stands are ethereal and, as a result, possess intangibility. It is uncommon but not unheard of for Stand Users to channel their Stands inside their bodies to protect themselves, using their Stand's superhuman durability to their advantage. It is even more uncommon for Stands to phase through objects, but the possibility exists.<br />
*[[File:only Stands can hurt Stands.gif|211x211px|thumb|Only Stands can harm Stands]]A Stand is invulnerable to any harm except against another Stand or if their Stand User is harmed.<br />
*As psychic projections, Users can also communicate through their Stands. Barring rare exceptions, a Stand User typically shares their consciousness with their Stand and is able to see through its eyes. Moreover, a Stand User can also speak through their Stand, enabling a form of distant communication. However, the Stand must have a mouth or otherwise be able to speak to do so. Notable examples include [[Star Platinum]], [[Death Thirteen]], [[Highway Star]] and [[King Crimson]].<br />
*Users possess the ability to shrink their Stands to a microscopic level, but the one time it was shown, Polnareff indicated that it was difficult to manipulate the Stand at such a subtle level and that it was taxing to maintain the small size,<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 163}}</ref> making that property impractical in most cases.<br />
<br />
===Power=== <!--T:35--><br />
Each Stand possesses an esoteric and unique power that defines it and sets it apart from other Stands.<br />
[[File:SC_v_MR.gif|thumb|left|250px|A sword Stand and a fire Stand]]<br />
A Stand's power can wildly vary between Stands. The nature of the power can range from relatively mundane powers such as using a sword or controlling flames to extremely powerful ones such as the ability to manipulate the flow of time. These powers have many different subtleties, such as a limited range or a special way of manifesting themselves, that can be exploited during a fight. For instance, [[Sticky Fingers]] can create zippers on any surface, but it has to hit an object with its hand to be able to create them. It is up to the User to know how to protect themselves or use their enemy's weakness to their advantage.<br />
<br />
<!--T:36--><br />
The User is sometimes immune, or protected to a degree against the power of their Stand. For instance, [[Prosciutto]] can stay young despite his [[The Grateful Dead]] aging everyone around it. However, the reverse is just as widespread, as Stand Users like [[Pannacotta Fugo]] with [[Purple Haze]]'s virus, and Muhammad Avdol and Magician's Red's flames are stated to be just as vulnerable.<br />
<br />
<!--T:37--><br />
In rare cases, Stands can have the same abilities. Usually, siblings like the [[Daniel J. D'Arby|D'Arby]] [[Telence T. D'Arby|Brothers]] or [[Bug-Eaten|two]] [[Not Bug-Eaten|rats]] can roughly have the same power.<br />
<br />
<!--T:38--><br />
Barring rare exceptions, if the Stand is destroyed or the User is knocked out, the Stand's power immediately disappears and any modification to the environment due to its power is reversed.<br />
<br />
<!--T:39--><br />
Each Stand is unique, but many share enough characteristics that they may be grouped under specific Stand Types. Very uncommon [[Stand Types|special stands]] may appear in the story from time to time due to exceptional circumstances.<br />
<br />
===Range=== <!--T:40--><br />
[[File:Stand range demo.gif|thumb|266x266px|Great power can be offset by short range]]<br />
One of the most important features of a Stand is its range. Stands in principle can only be used within a predetermined range centering around the Stand's owner. As such, for the sake of convenience, the range that a Stand can perform abilities is referred to as {{nihongo|"Firing Range"|射程距離}}. A Stand's range and accuracy are inversely proportional; the further the Stand moves away from its firing range, the weaker and less subtle it becomes. This principle is applied to almost all Stands. Furthermore, this can be construed more specifically as an "effective firing range", as a Stand will only gradually lose effectiveness the further it deviates from its firing range, rather than just relinquish immediately.<ref name="jojoagogo" /> The Stand's range is effectively just the range where it can optimally perform, though this can notably fluctuate depending on the emotional state of the user.<ref><sub>Crazy Diamond - Vol.12 "[[Shueisha Jump Remix]] ''Diamond is Unbreakable'' Edition" P94 What is the STAND?</sub></ref><br />
<br />
<!--T:41--><br />
From a general point of view, all Stands can be roughly divided into two types: "Short distance", and "long distance". As a trend, short-range types display great power, many of which excel at direct blows or destruction (Silver Chariot, Crazy Diamond, Sticky Fingers, etc.), and are often referred to a "Power Types". Long-range types typically have a special ability that can let them indirectly attack. (Hierophant Green, Echoes ACT1, Beach Boy, etc.)<br />
<br />
<!--T:42--><br />
Some long-distance types are referred to as "Automatic Pilot", in which the "power vs distance from user" principle does not apply. This is exactly what is touched upon in the third Stand theorem, in that autopilot types are typically an extension of an "effect" that results in a Stand triggering. As such, these Stands are independent of the Stand User's will and mental strength, and their power does not drop as a result. As a related note, certain Stand abilities do not have specified ranges (Earth Wind and Fire), an example being time-based powers, such as The World or King Crimson.<ref name="jojoagogo" /><br />
<br />
===Stand Parameters=== <!--T:43--><br />
{{See also|Stand Stats}}<br />
[[File:Standstats.png|thumb|borderless|{{ImageSize}}|Example of Stand parameters displayed ([[Star Platinum]]) in JOJOVELLER]]<br />
{{nihongo|'''Stand Parameters'''|スタンドパラメータ|Sutando Paramēta}}, or '''Stand Statistics''' are six statistics used outside of the story to gauge a Stand's capabilities. Some parameters refer to specific abilities of the Stand, such as in the case of [[Moody Blues]] and [[Whitesnake]]. They are in order (clockwise from top): Destructive Power, Speed, Range, Persistence, Precision, and Developmental Potential. <br />
<br />
<!--T:44--><br />
*{{Nihongo|'''Destructive Power'''|破壊力|Hakairyoku}}:<br />
<br />
<!--T:45--><br />
Measures the Stand's strength and ability to cause destruction (physical injury or collateral environmental damage) in a given period of time. Close-Range Stands such as [[Star Platinum]], [[The World]], [[Crazy Diamond]], [[Killer Queen]], [[Gold Experience]] and [[Stone Free]] will typically boast high destructive power (Rank C or higher). There are also cases like [[C-Moon]], where destructive power is low or not applicable, despite having fairly destructive abilities.<br />
<br />
<!--T:46--><br />
*{{Nihongo|'''Speed'''|スピード|Supīdo}}:<br />
<br />
<!--T:47--><br />
Measures the Stand's agility and reflexes as well as performance speed. This is also typically evaluated fairly high for Close-range Stands. Sometimes it can be strengthened through training, such as with Stands like [[Silver Chariot]].<br />
<br />
<!--T:48--><br />
*{{Nihongo|'''Range'''|射程距離|Shatei Kyori}}:<br />
<br />
<!--T:49--><br />
Measures a compromise of the Stand's range of manifestation, range of ability influence, and spatial mobility. In most cases it is inversely proportional to destructive power. However, there are cases where both power and range are excellent, such as [[Red Hot Chili Pepper]] and [[Weather Report (Stand)|Weather Report]]. In addition, a Stand's range may decrease due to evolution, such as with [[Echoes]] and [[Made in Heaven]].<br />
<br />
<!--T:50--><br />
*{{Nihongo|'''Power Persistence'''|持続力|Jizoku-ryoku}}:<br />
<br />
<!--T:51--><br />
Measures the duration of time that the Stand can actively maintain its ability. It can also be used in the sense of the time it takes before a special ability can be activated again, such as [[Star Platinum#Star Platinum: The World|Star Platinum: The World]]'s time stop.<br />
<br />
<!--T:52--><br />
*{{Nihongo|'''Precision'''|精密動作性|Seimitsu Dōsa-sei}}:<br />
<br />
<!--T:53--><br />
Measures the Stand's accuracy and range of influence/effect of their abilities to specified targets. Automatic type Stands are generally evaluated with Rank D or under with [[Boy II Man|a few]] [[Marilyn Manson|exceptions]].<br />
<br />
<!--T:54--><br />
*{{nihongo|'''Development Potential'''|成長性|Seichō-sei}}:<br />
<br />
<!--T:55--><br />
Measures the Stand's possible functions, utilization of its abilities and powers, and capacity to improve its overall capabilities. It decreases in rank as the user masters their Stand. For example, [[Jotaro Kujo]]'s [[Star Platinum]] is Rank A in Developmental Potential during ''[[Stardust Crusaders]]'', but is given Rank C during ''[[Stone Ocean]]'', as Jotaro has had many years to hone Star Platinum's power. However, Rank C implies that all of Star Platinum's possible abilities and functions still had not been discovered or figured out by that time. For a Stand to gain an E-Ranking, it means that either their Stand user discovered all of their Stand's abilities or the Stand came with very few abilities and thus cannot grow any more than it has. Stands such as [[Green Day]] and Notorious B.I.G, with infinitely increasing abilities, will be evaluated very high in this parameter.<br />
<br />
<!--T:56--><br />
Each statistic is ranked from A to E; though rankings of [[Gold Experience Requiem|None]] and [[Notorious B.I.G.|In]][[Bohemian Rhapsody|fi]][[Made in Heaven|ni]][[Remote Romance|te]] are also possible. If a rank is Unknown, it will show a question mark (?); this is usually because the Stand or its full capabilities have not yet been revealed in the storyline. Rankings are defined as follows:<br />
<br />
<!--T:57--><br />
:A: {{nihongo|'''Very Good'''|超スゴイ|Chō Sugoi}}<br />
:B: {{nihongo|'''Good'''|スゴイ|Sugoi}}<br />
:C: {{nihongo|'''Average'''|人間と同じ|Ningen to Onaji|lit. "Comparable to a Human"}}<br />
:D: {{nihongo|'''Poor'''|ニガテ|Nigate}}<br />
:E: {{nihongo|'''Very Poor'''|超ニガテ|Chō Nigate}}<br />
<br />
<!--T:58--><br />
They are first seen in the artbook ''[[JOJO A-GO!GO!]]'', later in canon from ''[[Vento Aureo]]'' onward as Stands are shown with their parameters along with their name and ability description. ''Steel Ball Run'' and ''JoJolion'' do not display parameters, but Stands introduced during these arcs are given them in [[:Category:Artbook|artbooks]].<br />
<br />

In the anime from [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders]] onward, Stand parameters appear as {{W|Eyecatch}} illustrations displayed after commercials. In [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable]], a silhouette of the Stand User is displayed as well. In [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind]], eyecatches are stylized by a spinning gold coin which transitions into the Stand and its information.<br />
<br />
<!--T:60--><br />
Stand Parameters are also used in weekly web radio programs like ''[[ORAORAdio]]'' and ''[[Morioh RADIO 4 GREAT]]'' to rate the hosts and guests.<br />

==Conception== <!--T:62--><br />
Araki had conceived his idea of Stand following a need to illustrate his character's abilities and drew inspiration from several sources. As the [[Vampires]] and therefore the Ripple which was needed to fight them, became less relevant, there was a need to innovate the way characters in the series would fight each other. Araki mentions several trains of thought which would eventually lead into the creation of the Stands.<br />
<br />
<!--T:63--><br />
In several instances, Araki says that he was influenced by spiritualism, the ancestor cult of the Shinto religion giving him the idea of an otherworldly being protecting someone.<ref>[[Interview Archive]], Animeland (06/01/2003) </ref><ref>[[Interview Archive]], French Reportage 09/20/06</ref> Moreover, Yokai legends and folklore would become one of the main inspirations for the Stands' appearances.<ref name=":2">[[Interview Archive]], JOJO 6251</ref> Araki also claimed that the concept of Stands were inspired by the 'guardian spirit' from Jiro Tsunoda's Ushiro no Hyakutarō manga.<ref name="WSB100Q">[[Interview Archive#Weekly Shonen Brackets 100Q (04/05/2003)|Weekly Shonen Brackets 100Q (04/05/2003)]]</ref><br />
<br />
<!--T:64--><br />
Alternatively, starting from the idea of psychic powers, Araki mentions that his natural skepticism about psychic powers inspired him to draw a psychic entity summoned by the characters. His interrogation about how psychic powers could affect the physical world without any medium led him into illustrating the psychic powers through Stands, which could make the reader visualize the way characters affected the world with their minds.<ref name=":2" /> Araki mentions having in mind a punching fist coming out of the body to break an object, and thought that anything could be drawn, giving him a lot of artistic liberty.<ref>[[Interview Archive]], JOJO PS2</ref><br />
<br />
==Trivia== <!--T:65--><br />
<br />
<!--T:66--><br />
*Araki explains that Stand abilities are often the first element he thinks of when he creates a character, and that he then develops the character's personality and appearance based on the harmony with said Stand power.<ref name=":2" /><ref>[[Manga in Theory and Practice]]; Chapter 3: Designing Characters; Special Abilities and Finishing Moves, the origins of Stands.</ref><br />
*Starting from Part 3 to Part 6, the name of each Stand that is used by the main protagonists are referring to their own representative sub-titles (e.g. '''[[Star Platinum|Star]]''' [[Star Platinum|Platinum]], Stand of [[Jotaro Kujo]] from '''[[Stardust Crusaders|Star]]'''[[Stardust Crusaders|dust Crusaders]]).<br />
** Like characters named after musical acts, the names of Stands names after musicians, albums or the such have historically been [[Name Variants|the subject of renaming in English localization of JoJo material]], so as to avoid trademark infringement. These altered names have become a common point of chagrin and humor among ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' fans within the Anglosphere, most notably the renaming of [[Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap]] to "Filthy Acts at a Reasonable Price".<br />
* While in the original universe Stand was written as 幽波紋, in Steel Ball Run, {{Nihongo|立ち向かうもの}} was briefly used by [[Mountain Tim]], which literally means "the thing that confronts".<br />
*Currently, Stands that don't have an anime version of their Stand parameters are [[Tenore Sax]], [[Love Deluxe]], [[Echoes]] (ACT 2), [[Achtung Baby]], [[Ratt]], and [[Boy II Man]].<br />
