{{nihongo|'''Vitamin C'''|ビタミン{{Ruby|C|シー}}|Bitamin Shī}} is the [[Stand]] belonging to [[Tamaki Damo]], featured in the eighth part of the ''[[JoJolionJoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]''. It is a tentacular Stand with a hand motif. When someone touches the fingerprints it leavesseries, the victim will be softened to the point of liquefaction as long as they remain within range''[[JoJolion]]''.

It has a vaguely humanoid head with drooping jester horns similar to [[King Nothing]], with a hand-shaped marking resembling [[Lucky Land Communications|Lucky Land]]'s logo on its face. The rest of the body below its shoulders consists of a trailing mass of hand-shaped tentacles, akin to a jellyfish. It is covered with nut-shaped objects, some of them chipped in order to resemble the letter C.

Vitamin C is a terrifying Stand to face in close quarters and in narrow spaces because its softening power renders everyone powerless before Damo. Vitamin C doesn't show exceptional physical abilities, but is at least able to punch a softened person into a wall.<ref name="JJLC54">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 54: ''[[JJL Chapter 54|Walking Heart]]''}}</ref> Vitamin C is also showedshown to have exceptional speed, which is able to easily outspeed Killer Queen, multiple Sheer Heart Attacks, and even Soft & Wet.<ref name="JJLC54" /><ref name="JJLC51">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 51}}</ref>

Vitamin C and Damo can leave faintly visible fingerprints on any surface, and with Vitamin C's multiple hands, this results in entire rooms being covered in handprints.<ref name="JJLC48">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 48: ''[[JJL Chapter 48|Hato Brought Her Boyfriend Home, Part 2]]''}}</ref> The fingerprints seem to be made of a squishy substance that people may notice.<ref name="JJLC47">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 47: ''[[JJL Chapter 48|Hato Brought Her Boyfriend Home, Part 1]]''}}</ref>

Anyone, even Stands,<ref name="JJLC51">JJL Chapter 51: ''[[JJL Chapter 51|Vitamin C and Killer Queen, Part 2]]''</ref> who touches the fingerprint will be softened, taking the characteristic of a liquid andbut also becoming elastic.<ref name="JJLC49">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 49: ''[[JJL Chapter 49|Hato Brought Her Boyfriend Home, Part 3]]''}}</ref> People lose their consistency and typically melt into a puddle of flesh over time.<ref name="JJLC48" /> It becomes easy for Damo to insert random objects into his victims and even slice into them. He notably cuts limbs and organorgans from his softened victims with a 1000 yen bill.<ref name="JJLC52">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 52: ''[[JJL Chapter 52|Vitamin C and Killer Queen, Part 3]]''}}</ref> In that state, the victims become unable to move or attack, as any impact makes them lose their coherence. Thus they are powerless, and Damo is free to torment and kill them. Damo seems to be able to modify the speed at which people are softened. [[Joshu]] was softened over a sizable period<ref name="JJLC48" /> while [[Hato]] was reduced to a liquid almost immediately when Damo attacked her.<ref name="JJLC54" />
