Spin: Difference between revisions

It is a state of perfect or near-perfect rotation which produces a unique form of energy that can be applied for a multitude of uses.

The Spin is deceptively and relatively easy to learn at the basic, as the novice Johnny Joestar manages to produce a conclusive Spin with a cork within a day of learning about the power's existence;<ref name=":1" /> however, it is extremely difficult to master. The Spin must be imbued into a medium that will keep on spinning and must be thrown so the object can transfer the energy through contact. Thus, a Spin user must be able to expertly aim and throw objects in order to hope for a result. One must also know the human body extremely well to exploit the effects of the Spin on people to the fullest. For instance the [[Zeppeli Family]] are trained as surgeons to use the Spin on criminals on death row,<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 20}}</ref> otherwise, the Spin may only result in a simple enhancement of destructive energy. Others like the members of Naples's royal guard only use a highly specialized application of the Spin on the human body.<ref name=":9">{{Ch|SBR Chapter 52}}</ref>

|Desc = The Golden Spin<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 43}}<name=":0"/ref><ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 81}}<name=":12"/ref><ref>[[JOJOVELLER]]: STANDS, p.256</ref> is a superior state of rotation that only the masters of the Spin can use. To use the Golden Spin, one must approach the Golden Rectangle, a rectangle with a proportion equal to the {{W|Golden_ratio|golden ratio}} (approximately 16:9) that when recursively divided into a square and another golden rectangle, traces the path of the Golden Spiral; a self-similar and thus endless spiral. Used as a scale, the Golden Rectangle allows the creation of a perfect rotation and thus an infinite amount of energy. The Gold Rectangle is actually observable in nature, from the wings of a butterfly to the shape of a tree to snowflakes, and by extension in works of arts.

{{MI|Gyro's Belt Buckle}} is notably shaped in the proportions of the golden rectangle and can be used as a model. The [[Zeppeli Family]] regularly uses the Golden Spin thanks to their knowledge of the golden ratio. Gyro then taught Johnny how to use the Golden Spin, allowing the latter to achieve greater forms of his Stand.

One can prevent Spin Users from using the Golden Spin by choosing the right battlefield, one that is devoid of life so that there is nothing that a Spin user can observe to discern a golden rectangle. For instance, [[Wekapipo]] and [[Magent Magent]] ambush Gyro and Johnny in the middle of a frozen strait.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 52}}<name=":9"/ref>

Gyro's [[Ball Breaker]] and Johnny's [[Tusk#Tusk ACT 4ACT4|Tusk ACT4]] appear to represent the infinite force of the Golden Spin which trumps many powers. Both are notably capable of bypassing the interdimensional barriers of [[D4C Love Train]] that hide and protect [[Funny Valentine]] and his Stand [[Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap]],<ref name=":5" /><ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 86}}</ref> and it is shown that Tusk ACT4 is impervious, to an extent, to [[The World (Steel Ball Run)|THE WORLD]]'s ability to stop time itself.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 92}}</ref>

Although it is almighty, the horseback Golden Spin is incredibly complicated to set up. One must not only have a healthy horse, but also have the expertise to feel when it runs at its natural pace, in addition to the need of being proficient in the Spin and possessing a projectile that can be imbued with the Golden Spin. An imperfect thrown sphere will result in a failure<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 84}}</ref> and any interference during the horse mounting, like bumping into an obstacle<ref name=":4" /> or the horse being attacked, will completely interrupt the process.<ref name=":6" /> During the events of ''[[Steel Ball Run]]'', only two people on Earth could reproduce the Golden Spin on horseback. There exists a workaround for setting up this technique. Johnny uses a Steel Ball on his horse's leg, making it kick him with the energy of the Golden Spin. Johnny was thus imbued with the energy of the Golden Spin and by spinning his nail at the same time, could reproduce the same infinite Spin he would have by riding his horse.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 85}}<name=":6"/ref>

|Desc = [[Soft & Wet]]'s soap bubbles are actually thin lines that spin rapidly; the lines are so thin that they are close to zero, therefore considered nearly nonexistent. Because of this, they are capable of bypassing any kind of logic in the world, including [[calamity]].<ref>{{Vo|JJL Volume 27}}, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 108}} Tailpiece</ref> These spinning bubbles can also be used as weapons that explode on contact, as inherited from the Stand's late fusion with [[Killer Queen (JoJolion)|Killer Queen]]. After discovering these aspects, [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] develops a new ability, which he dubs {{nihongo|"Soft & Wet: Go Beyond"|ソフト＆ウェット・ゴー・ビヨンド|Sofuto Andoando Wetto Gō Biyondo}}. Go Beyond's Explosive Spin bubbles first manifest from Josuke's [[Star Birthmark|birthmark]], and then are shot out from his fingertip. However, due to the bubbles being invisible and "nonexistent", it's difficult for Josuke to aim Go Beyond, and therefore requires [[Paisley Park]]'s help to direct the bubbles.
