THE WORLD's powers
THE WORLD (ザ・ワールド, Za Wārudo) is the Stand of the Diego Brando from Another Universe, featured in Steel Ball Run.
It appears along side its user during his confrontation with Johnny Joestar in the arc High Voltage.
THE WORLD is a humanoid Stand with a build similar to Diego's and design similar to its alternate counterpart. It wears a headpiece covering its face to below the place of its nose, slanting at a steep angle from the base of its forehead to a peak situated above the rear of its head by about half its height, leaving the face of an inverted triangle visible to the front; somewhat similar to the Red Crown of Lower Egypt.
On it's back are twin diving cylinders, connected via short twin ridged cables to the rear of its mask; perhaps secured by thick, ridged or puffered straps running from the rear of its waist over both its shoulders to its front. The back of it's hands bear the shape of a clock with similar emblems on both its shoulders and hips. Its chin and belt region are decorated with hearts, while its knees are capped with D-shaped pads.
Inherent in most short-range Stands, THE WORLD demonstrates an above-average attack strength, delivering strikes powerful enough to cleave through its own limbs and presumably eliminate enemies with a single punch. Its range of manifestation is at least a couple meters, as it separated from Diego at one point to deliver a pincer attack.[1]
Time Stop: As described by Diego, THE WORLD possesses the ability to stop time, allowing only itself and its user to act within the allotted time. The maximum duration of the ability is approximately 5 seconds, but during this period, objects thrown by itself or its user will eventually stop in midair and once time resumes, will continue traveling at the velocity they were thrown at.
