Civil War (シビル・ウォー) is the Stand of Axl RO, featured in Part VII: Steel Ball Run.
Appearance
Civil War is embodied by a humanoid figure with a head shaped like two ridged saucers pressed together, mounted on its neck side-on. A bare spine is visible from its ribcage to its pelvis, and its lower legs are shaped as fraying bell-bottoms.
Civil War generates ghosts of a sort, ranging in type from inanimate objects to humans, which could be considered part of it.
Abilities
- Guilt through Power: Civil War's primary ability is to manifest objects a target has left behind, given up, or feels guilt toward. These objects attach themselves to and move through the target's body, creating a thin membrane that slowly engulfs them. The membrane then gradually shrinks until the target is crushed. Once the target makes contact with the object, they instantly remember how and why they sacrificed it or feel guilt about it. This ability's weakness is water, which dissolves the membrane.
- Impervious to physical attacks: The Stand itself can avoid attacks by breaking apart into several pieces, and is shown to effectively nullify Gyro's Steel Ball attacks.
- Rebirth from Guilt: If the user is killed and their assailant feels guilt towards killing them, the user is brought back to life and the guilt and sacrifices of the user manifest to attack the assailant. However, if the user kills an enemy and feels guilt, the situation is reversed with the enemy revived and the user is attacked by their own sacrifices and guilt.
Trivia
- Civil War's name references both the Guns N' Roses song and the American Civil War, in which Axl RO was a combatant.
