Smooth Operators (スムース・オペレイターズ, Sumūsu Opereitāzu) is the Stand of Dragona Joestar, featured in the ninth part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, The JOJOLands.
It is a colony of small Stands which can grab and displace anything. Dragona named it when they were fourteen years old,[1] and later refers to the Stand as their children.[2]
Appearance
Smooth Operators is a group of four small robot-like Stands. Each "operator" has the appearance of a small robot with a humanoid head and torso and tank treads instead of legs. Their heads have an oblong shape with curved corners, and the front part elongated like a nose. They also have two mechanical eyes protruding from the top of their heads. Their shoulders are cylinders and their arms have artificial articulations. Finally, each operator has a stylized "SO" engraved on the top of the head.
Color Schemes
Personality
Although they don't regularly talk, Smooth Operators is capable of saying words, as one of them replies "OK!" to Dragona after Dragona announces the team's plan.[3]
Abilities
Displacement
Smooth Operators enables Dragona to move things across two-dimensional planes, regardless of that thing being a physical object or a physical feature on the object. The Stand has been used so far to move numbers around on a car license plate,[4] photographs on a driver's license,[4] a fingerprint on a tablet computer to its fingerprint scanner,[5] and a human's facial features[4] with no permanent damage to the objects or people affected. Dragona is initially shown being in physical contact with the objects affected by Smooth Operators, often with them directing Smooth Operators in a specific direction, but later chapters show Smooth Operators acting without their instruction.
Dragona can also use Smooth Operators on themself,[6] allowing them to displace wounds inflicted upon them to other objects, causing the object to break. For example, Dragona moves wounds inflicted as a result of middle school bullying from their chest onto a soup spoon which then shatters,[1] and also moves a bleeding neck wound onto a bottle of wine which shatters as well.[7]
The only limitation to what can and cannot be moved by Smooth Operators appears to be the physical strength of the collective Smooth Operators themselves; Dragona says it is difficult for Smooth Operators to crack the safe in Rohan's Villa because the metal bars that make up the lock mechanism are too heavy to be moved.[2]
