The Hand (ザ・ハンド（手）, Za Hando) est le Stand d'Okuyasu Nijimura, figurant dans Diamond is Unbreakable. C'est un Stand humanoïde musclé dont le pouvoir est d'effacer tout ce que sa paume droite touche, même l'espace.
The Hand est un Stand humanoïde assez musclé et portant des pièces d'armures rembourrées et équipée de piques sur les épaules. The Hand porte aussi une sorte de col décoré à chaque extrémité par les symboles "$" et "¥", ce qui va avec le thème monétaire de la tenue d'Okuyasu. Sa tête est robotique avec des yeux ressemblant à des lampes. De plus, son visage est entouré par ce qui ressemble à de larges oeillères limitant son champ de vision, ce qui symbolise l'attitude impulsive d'Okuyasu.[1] Sa main droite est couverte d'un motif de toile d'araignée sur la paume, qui d'ailleurs possède deux bosses. Ces caractéristiques physiques apparaissent plus tard dans l'histoire.
The Hand est généralement colorié en blanc avec une armure bleue et des accessoires dorés.
The Hand est un Stand très orienté vers le combat offensif. Comme Crazy Diamond, The Hand est un Stand de courte portée assez puissant physiquement parlant. The Hand peut notamment lutter d'égal à égal contre Crazy Diamond mais il n'est pas aussi rapide.
Son pouvoir unique d'effacer l'espace avec sa paume en font un Stand théoriquement très puissant et l'un des plus redoutables de Diamond is Unbreakable[2] mais comme Josuke le dit, son potentiel est limité par la bêtise d'Okuyasu.
Similar to Cream's, this ability effectively removes whatever is in the Stand's path from existence in accordance with the user's will. Objects that are subjected to the ability appear as if an extremely sharp blade had sliced clean through them.[2] Okuyasu also states that not even he knows where the voided objects go.
Whenever The Hand erases something, the voided space is usually immediately filled and "stitched up" by adjacent space and objects, effectively removing any traces of the removed object's existence.[2] The space elimination and this curious property gives the normally short-ranged Stand substantial ranged capabilities, as it can simply remove the space between itself and a target to bring them closer [2] or have Okuyasu come to them.[3] Okuyasu likes to refer to this technique as "teleportation".
However, that last property is not always portrayed as it was shown that The Hand swiping through the ground could leave craters.[4]
This power has several weaknesses. Because the elimination is concentrated within The Hand's palm and it must make a swiping motion, it is possible to grab the arm and block it as Crazy Diamond did[2] and for a fast Stand like Red Hot Chili Pepper to evade it.[4]
