“

The hooks come out from where you touch! That's the job of the 'bait'! You can't do anything else!

”

—Pork Pie Hat Kid, Steel Ball Run Chapter 27: Tusk, Part 3

Wired (ワイアード, Waiādo) is the Stand of Pork Pie Hat Kid, featured in the seventh part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, Steel Ball Run.

It manifests as a pair of hooked cables that can travel to a different dimension to lure targets with artificial bait.

Appearance

Wired takes the form of a winch and two hooked metallic cables inside the mouth of its user, Pork Pie Hat Kid. When the Stand is inactive, Wired's hooks rest on Pork Pie Hat Kid's tongue. It is possible to attach bait such as feathers or insects to the Stand, allowing the hook to emerge from the bait itself.^[1]

Abilities

Wired's ability enables Pork Pie Hat Kid to ambush victims from far away and gives him a measure of destructive power. The hooks possess enough speed to move faster than the eye can see.^[2] In addition to this, the winch winds up the wires with a lot of power, making it capable of fully tearing a snake apart and strong enough to lift a fully grown man and even gently lift a horse.^[1] The cables themselves are also resistant enough to not be cut by Johnny's spinning nails.

Teleporting Hooks

Pork Pie Hat Kid can "fish" by lowering Wired's hooks into a plate filled with water, which functions like a portal that sends the hooks to a different place in order to catch his prey.

By attaching objects to the hooks and then send the hooks into a body of water, Pork Pie Hat Kid can make it so the hooks can emerge elsewhere from the underside of another object of the same. For example, he can use a bird's feathers to make hooks appear on the underside of falling feathers coming from vultures far away which float just above the protagonists, who are riding kilometers away from him.^[3]

The body of water can then be considered a portal. Pork Pie Hat Kid can also observe where he sends his hooks as long as he's looking at the water from above. Plus, objects can be sent through the portal regardless of their size, and thus Pork Pie Hat Kid was able to send away Johnny's horse through a bowl of water and the underside of a feather, the horse distorting itself without harm to comfort to the size of the portal.^[1]

There are a few limitations to Wired. The water surface Pork Pie Hat Kid uses is small and only offers a limited view of his target. Thus, he can only see his target and attack them from above, and can also be fooled into making mistakes.^[3] Moreover, anyone can use the objects as portals as well, which allowed Johnny to shoot through several feathers to hurt the user.^[1]
