{{Nihongo|'''Cheap Trick'''|チープ・トリック|Chīpu Torikku}} is originally the [[Stand]] of [[Masazo Kinoto]] and temporarily of [[Rohan Kishibe]]. It is a [[:Category:Tertiary AntagonistAntagonists|tertiary antagonist]] featured in the fourth part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[Diamond is Unbreakable]]''.
 
It is a dwarfish humanoid Stand that latches onto its victim's back. Having no power other than being able to speak, it does its best to have someone else see the victim's back. If it happens, the victim dies and the witness becomes Cheap Trick's new host.
 
In the [[Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan (TV Drama)|TV drama adaptation]] of ''[[Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan]]'', it instead takes the form of an unnamed {{Nihongo|'''Clinging Yokai'''}} that attempts to force [[Rohan Kishibe]] to relinquish the property rights to [[Mutsu-kabe Hill (Location)|Mutsu-kabe Hill]].

The unnamed {{Nihongo|'''Clinging Yokai'''}} is a [[:Category:Tertiary Antagonists|tertiary antagonist]] featured in the [[Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan (TV Drama)|TV drama adaptation]] of ''[[Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan]]''.
 
It is a yokai that latches onto its victim's back, taking the form of its previous victim. Having no power other than being able to speak, it does its best to have someone else see the victim's back. If it happens, the victim dies and the witness becomes the yokai's new host. The yokai uses the architect [[Masazo Kinoto]] to pursue [[Rohan Kishibe]] after he buys the property rights to its home, [[Mutsu-kabe Hill (Location)|Mutsu-kabe Hill]], attempting to force him to relinquish them.
 
The Clinging Yokai is heavily based on the [[Stand]] {{Nihongo|'''Cheap Trick'''|チープ・トリック|Chīpu Torikku}}, which is featured in the fourth part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[Diamond is Unbreakable]]''.

==Appearance==
Line 34 ⟶ 53:
 
Its concept was based on Onbu-Obake (also known as {{W|Obariyon}}), a piggyback {{W|yōkai}} that jumps onto people's backs and makes them heavier until they can no longer walk.<ref name="JOJOVELLER">{{JJV|Cheap Trick}}</ref>
 
In the [[Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan (TV Drama)|TV drama]], the Clinging Yokai instead takes the form of its previous host, with some minor differences: in the form of Masazo Kinoto, the yokai wears a black tie and has blonde hair and shaved eyebrows, rather than Kinoto's black hair and eyebrows. A hypothetical scenario where the yokai takes Rohan's form is also shown, with the yokai possessing bright green hair and a blue headband instead of Rohan's black hair and gray headband, as well as similarly shaved eyebrows.
 
===Color Schemes===
Line 53 ⟶ 74:
Cheap Trick is a unique Stand in that it can change users and actively seeks its current user's demise. Its sole purpose is actually to single out a victim and wear down its user's psyche until it can kill them and carry on to another hapless user.
 
Although very weak (it cannot even pull off a sticky band-aid),<ref name=":3">{{Ch|Chapter 415}}</ref> it is also quasi-invulnerable and only needs someone to see its user's back to kill itthe user, making it very dangerous.
 
===Attachment===
Line 59 ⟶ 80:
 
[[File:Cheap_trick.gif|thumb|220px|Cheap Trick is nearly impossible to get rid of]]
When it attaches itself to someone's back, Cheap Trick becomes the new host's Stand even if the individual already has a Stand. andPlus, it can only be seen by the userhost.<ref name=":0">{{Ch|Chapter 414}}</ref> As the Stand of the host, it cannot be attacked by the host without said host harming themselves since it is technically a part of them.<ref name=":0" /> Cheap Trick can also notcannot be removed from their back and forceful removal would simply rip the user's skin off, killing them. However, it is susceptible to the malicious spirits of the [[Ghost Girl's Alley]] and it may be the only way to safely remove it without harm.<ref name=":2">{{Ch|Chapter 417}}</ref>
 
Cheap Trick then actively and relentlessly seeks to make someone else look at the user's back, being especially dangerous when the host is asleep because it can then act unnoticed.<ref name=":3" /> If it happens, Cheap Trick detaches from the host, killing them in the process, and attaches itself to the looker's back, beginning its process anew.<ref name=":1" /> Previous users are reduced to a dried-up doll-sized version of themselves as a result of Cheap Trick sucking their life force out upon detachment.<ref name=":0" />
 
===Universal Speech===
Cheap Trick's other ability is its power to make itself heard and understood by anyone, including non-Stand users<ref name=":3" /> and even animals.<ref name=":4">{{Ch|Chapter 416}}</ref> It describes "talking" as its main ability.
 
Cheap Trick's ''modus operandi'' is to verbally pester its host to wear them down psychologically, but it can also do other things with its speech ability. As non-Stand users can hear but not see Cheap Trick and would mistake Cheap Trick's voice for its host's, Cheap Trick can insult them so they try to attack its host. At one point, it even told the animals of the neighborhood that [[Rohan Kishibe|Rohan]] was cruel to them, unleashing every surrounding stray on the manga artist.<ref name=":4" />
 
Unlike other sentient Stands, Cheap Trick can converse with everyone, even non-Stand users.<ref name=":3" /> Because people usually mistake Cheap Trick for the host, Cheap Trick can insult people so they try to attack the host. At one point, it even told the animals of the neighborhood that [[Rohan]] was cruel to them, unleashing every surrounding stray on the manga artist.<ref name=":4" />
 
==History==
===Background===
Cheap Trick was the Stand of architect [[Masazo Kinoto]].<ref name=":0"/> Created when [[Yoshihiro Kira]] hit Kinoto in the back with an [[Bow and Arrow|Arrow]], it is dispatched to kill [[Rohan Kishibe]] and destroy the photos Rohan had taken in the search for Yoshikage Kira's new [[Kosaku Kawajiri|identity]]. Kinoto was unaware of the Stand's presence but instinctively felt that he needed to hide his back and managed to reach Rohan's house that way.
 
===''[[Diamond is Unbreakable]]''===
After Kinoto's death, Cheap Trick attaches itself to Rohan. Rohan tries to use [[Heaven's Door]] but ends up turning himself into a book since Cheap Trick is now technically the manga artist's Stand. Moreover, Cheap Trick's power makes it impossible for Rohan to shake him off. The Stand itself then relentlessly tells Rohan to burn his photos.<ref name=":1"/> Rohan tries to call [[Koichi]] for help, but Koichi ends up believing Rohan is playing a prank on him and leaves. Isolated, Rohan then decides to search for Kira in the photos but ends up falling asleep. Cheap Trick uses this opportunity to call for multiple deliveries, and the deliverymen almost see Rohan's back. Thankfully, the door to his office bumps on his chair, waking up the manga artist in time.
 
Line 78 ⟶ 99:
 
Afterward, Cheap Trick speaks to the cats and dogs of the city, pretending that Rohan is torturing animals for fun. The animals attack Rohan but Koichi reappears to save the manga artist. Still, even Koichi's [[Echoes]] ACT3 cannot force Cheap Trick off Rohan's back. Rohan seemingly goes mad and shows his back to Koichi, making Cheap Trick turn back to attack the boy. However, Rohan then reveals that they are in [[Ghost Girl's Alley]]. Cheap Trick is horrified to see a multitude of disembodied hands come out to take him away. To ensure Cheap Trick has the worst possible fate, Rohan uses [[Heaven's Door]] to command it to go to Hell.<ref name=":2"/>
 
===[[Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan (TV Drama)|''Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan'' (TV Drama)]]===
{{Non-Canon}}
In the ''Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan'' TV drama, Cheap Trick is instead an unnamed Clinging Yokai residing in [[Mutsu-kabe Hill (Location)|Mutsu-kabe Hill]]. After Rohan Kishibe buys the property rights to the hill, the yokai possesses Masazo Kinoto, an executive at the MS Resort corporation already seeking to buy the land from him. The yokai convinces Kinoto that no one must see his back, and silently waits for him to visit Rohan. Rohan is baited into seeing Kinoto's back by his eccentricity, like in the manga, though the yokai waits to appear to Rohan until later in the evening.
 
The Clinging Yokai relentless taunts and teases Rohan throughout the night, even forcing him to work all night to finish his manuscript. When [[Kyoka Izumi]] reports on a mysterious [[Ghost Girl's Alley|"Hirasaka" alley]] rumored to trap anyone who looks behind themselves in the underworld, Rohan decides to make his way to the alley himself, despite the yokai's best efforts to sabotage him. As the manga artist finally reaches the alley, he meets Kyoka, who he had called there via text. Rohan pretends to give up and show Izumi his back to force the yokai to turn around, condemning it to an unknown fate. Rohan offhandedly mentions that he had also considered forcing himself to forget about the yokai, under the assumption that yokai are legends that disappear the moment they are forgotten.
