Doctor Wu grants Tomoki a useful ability that makes him both elusive and dangerous, as the particles he turns into can bypass the defense of his foes and are difficult to attack.

Doctor Wu allows Wu Tomoki to break apart his body into small independently controlled stones. The particles themselves have no power and float around on the wind. In this form, Dr. Wu can invade someone's body and take control of their movements, fusing with body parts such as the bones. However, it seems the ability to parasitize someone is tied to a particular rock acting as a beacon for the rest of the gravel and paralyzing its victim at the same time.

His gravel form seems to induce an allergic reaction in those he attacks if inhaled, as he is essentially a foreign body. He can also add other substances to his gravel form, such as sleeping pills, which he uses to try to subdue [[Mitsuba Higashikata]] and [[Yasuho Hirose]].

This article is about the Stand. For the Stand's user, see Wu Tomoki.
Like the yellow dust that drifts on the westerly winds, my body can reduce to tiny fragments and reassemble. But that is all... That is all there is to my ability.

Doctor Wu (ドクター・ウー, Dokutā Ū) is the Stand of Dr. Wu Tomoki, featured in the eighth part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, JoJolion. It is a pure ability Stand that allows Dr. Wu to decompose himself into small particles.

Appearance

Doctor Wu is an ability-type Stand that only manifests itself within its user as a supernatural ability and thus has no appearance of its own.

Abilities

Doctor Wu grants Tomoki a useful ability that makes him both elusive and dangerous, as the particles he turns into can bypass the defense of his foes and are difficult to attack. On the other hand, this same granular state limits his ability to act and makes him vulnerable to new objects, such as being stuck.

Gravel Transformation

Wu turning into particles

Doctor Wu allows Wu Tomoki to break apart his body into small independently controlled stones, then reconstruct himself. The particles themselves have no power besides floating around with the wind.

His gravel form seems to induce an allergic reaction in those he attacks if inhaled, as he is essentially a foreign body. He can also add other substances to his gravel form, such as ground-up sleeping pills, which he uses to try to subdue Mitsuba Higashikata and Yasuho Hirose.[1][2]

Bone Possession

When Wu transforms into gravel, he can invade someone's body by entering through their bodily orifices. He fuses with body parts such as bones, ligaments and tendons.[3] However, it seems the ability to parasitize someone is tied to a particular rock acting as a beacon for the rest of the gravel and paralyzing its victim at the same time.[4] If Wu manages to enter a person's body, he can take control of their movements, as well as control their Stand to some degree. An example of this would be when he takes control of Mitsuba's body, making her send out several arrows using her Stand ability, Awaking III Leaves.[5]
