==Effects==
Objects imbued with the Spin have a range of effects on humans, animals or the environment. While dependent on contact to inflict an effect, it would seem that the Spinning object does not actually have to be in motion in order to affect a target: For instance, during their initial meeting, Johnny's crippled legs twitch as he accidentally touches an inert Steel Ball that is spinning around its axis in Gyro's holster. As Gyro primarily uses the Steel Balls as thrown weapons, it is as such difficult to determine how much of their destructive damage is dependent on Spin alone.
Use of the Spin has been shown for a wide range of destructive, defensive, medical and utilitarian purposes. Upon contact with a target, Spiral ripples appear in the flesh, allowing the deliberate manipulation of muscles and tissue. Body manipulation with the Spin allows skin to be twisted so tight that it becomes bulletproof, entire limbs to be flattened, and on one occasion Gyro applies Spin to himself to wring water out of his body. The effect of Spin on muscle allows the user to contort, twist, and to a certain extent control the movement of others: during his introduction, Gyro wins a duel by manipulating his challenger's arm with a Steel Ball to the shoulder, causing the man's pistol-carrying arm to twist around until the man shoots himself in the head. While under the effect of Spin, muscles also seem to be able to contract more forcefully than they usually would be able to, as shown when Gyro hits Valkyrie's flank with a Steel Ball to initiate a sprint. In more destructive techniques, such as the ones employing Wrecking Balls, it has been shown that the Spin can cause temporary to permanent nerve damage, resulting in left-half ataxia.
Much like Hamon, the property of Spin is able to pass through a medium without affecting it. This allows both for redirection of trauma (moving a wound from the hand to the leg) and damage (targeting a hostage with a Steel Ball, transferring the force and the applied Spin to their captor behind them). However, while Ripple attacks have been shown to transfer through metal (see [[Metal Silver Overdrive]]) and stone walls (during Jonathan's fight with [[Jack the Ripper]]), only softer objects seem to be able to transfer the Spin. This is possibly due to how Hamon moves as arcs of energy, while Spin moves through applying intrinsic movement to the medium itself. Trees and bark are susceptible to fine manipulation with the Spin (such as when Gyro creates an improvised rope during the battle against [[Dr. Ferdinand]]), but stone shatters.
Objects imbued with the Golden Rotation are shown to carry near-limitless energy, making for fearsome Spin-based attacks. Stands centered around Spin (such as Tusk or Ball Breaker) seem to make use of this energy for supernatural purposes: Tusk ACT 2 and 3 is capable of spatial manipulation by moving a nail bullet hole using the Spin retained within it, and Ball Breaker uses the vast power of the Super Spin to simultaneously age cells in a target's body until the point of cell senescence.
The Spin has been long studied as a human anatomical corrective and medical treatment by the Napoletani [[Zeppeli Family]], doctors renowned throughout Italy, although they are employed by their government as executioners, able as they are to effect clean, certain and painless death.<ref>[[Gyro_Zeppeli's_Mission_(2)|SBR C.21]]</ref>▼
