Earth Wind and Fire/fr

Earth Wind and Fire (アース・ウインド・アンド・ファイヤー, Āsu Uindo Ando Faiyā) est le nom donné au pouvoir spécial de Mikitaka Hazekura, figurant dans Diamond is Unbreakable. On ne sait pas si Earth Wind and Fire est un Stand ou bien un pouvoir d'extraterrestre à cause des circonstances mystérieuses concernant la nature et l'origine de Mikitaka.

Earth Wind and Fire permet à Mikitaka de se transformer.

Sommaire

Comme tous les pouvoirs de la série qui confèrent directement des pouvoirs à leurs propriétaires, Earth Wind and Fire n'a pas de forme physique à proprement parler et est lié au corps de Mikitaka.

Comme Mikitaka prétend être un extraterrestre, la nature exacte de Earth Wind and Fire est inconnue. On ne sait pas si Mikitaka est véritablement un extraterrestre on non et Araki entretient le mystère. Ainsi, on ne sait pas non plus si Earth Wind and Fire est un pouvoir Stand ou autre.

Pouvoirs

Le Earth Wind and Fire de Mikitaka est un pouvoir inoffensif de transformation dont la forte utilité est quelque peu diminuée par l'excentricité de Mikitaka.

Shapeshifting

Earth Wind and Fire allows Mikitaka to transform into any object.

When transforming, Mikitaka decomposes himself into a cluster of strips of an unidentified substance before recomposing himself into one or several objects of his choosing, replicating their appearance, weight, and texture.

When transformed into an object, he also takes on the properties of the object. Thus morphing a hand into an ice cream cone will make it cold or morphing himself into a binocular enables him to also observe things from afar. He can also partially undo the transformation.

Mikitaka transforming into a (wildly inaccurate) die

 Although he can theoretically perfectly replicate objects, Mikitaka is subjected to several limitations.

• Firstly, he cannot reproduce complex items like machines or something that requires more strength than his own to operate.
• Secondly, Mikitaka considers all humans to look the same and cannot be subtle enough to copy someone's appearance.
• Thirdly, he must have a precise idea of what he's transforming into lest his replication ends up largely inaccurate (ex. Morphing into an inconsistent die).
• Fourthly, Mikitaka is still subject to his bodily weaknesses: being thrown around as dice makes him sick and he will throw up, ruining the masquerade.
• Finally, Mikitaka's requires some amount of concentration to operate; if he panics when hearing a siren, he loses control over his power and the shapeshifting becomes random, eventually forcing Mikitaka into his human form.

More importantly, Mikitaka's own ignorance about Earth and human society signifies that he has no idea how he is supposed to act, and when transformed can easily act suspicious.

Earth Wind and Fire seems able to combine its strength with those of other people: when Mikitaka turned into sneakers for Josuke to wear, he notes that their strength combined is what made them able to move so fast.

Trivia

• Hirohiko Araki mistakenly used the name "Earth Wind and Fire" again in Stone Ocean for the name of Viviano Westwood's Stand when the chapter was published in Weekly Shonen Jump (the name was written slightly different in Japanese). For the tankōbon release, this Stand was renamed "Planet Waves".
