Allowing neighboring worlds to exist simultaneously in the same location. That is my Stand ability, "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap".

—President Funny Valentine
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (いともたやすく行われるえげつない行為, Itomo Tayasuku Okonawareru Egetsunai Kōi)[1] souvent abrégé en D4C (ディー･フォー･シー, Dī Fō Shī), est le Stand de Funny Valentine, figurant dans la septième partie de JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Steel Ball Run.
D4C est un Stand humanoïde qui permet à Valentine à passer, lui et tous ceux qu'ils emmène avec lui dans des mondes parallèles. Avec l'exception de Valentine, toute personne qui entre en contact avec un alter-ego sera détruite.
D4C est un Stand humanoïde qui partage la taille de Valentine et sa carrure athlétique. Son corps clair est plutôt lisse mais les côtés de son corps sont parcourus par des coutures afin d'évoquer l'image d'une balle de baseball[2]. Ses épaules semblent être des grandes sphère lisses. D4C porte aussi un slip avec une marque en forme de "X". Sa tête est plutôt organique mais il possède une protège-mâchoire qui cache la partie basse du visage, et ses yeux sont des yeux striés mécaniques, qui ont une expression perpétuellement calme. La caractéristique principale de D4C sont ses grandes oreilles cousues partant du haut de la tête, évoquant l'apparence d'un lapin.
Après avoir été exposé au pouvoir de Jayro Zeppeli et de son Ball Breaker[3], Valentine âge rapidement et son Stand change drastiquement d'apparence. Il perd en fait la couche extérieure de son apparence, dont ses oreilles. Ceci expose l'intérieur de sa tête qui a une apparence encore plus artificielle, avec un visage qui est relativement lisse sauf pour la présence des yeux et un relief plat à plusieurs branches qui couvre la tête. D4C conserve cette apparence même si Valentine se remplace.
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap est de couleur bleue et rose dans la plupart des médias dans lesquels il figure.

Personnalité
D4C n'a aucune personnalité propre. Cependant, il peut se transférer à n'importe quel Funny Valentine à travers les univers parallèles, leur passant tous les souvenirs de l'ancien Valentine. Ce Valentine devient en pratique le nouveau propriétaire de D4C et le Valentine du monde sur lequel tout est basé.
Pouvoirs
D4C est l'un des Stands les puissants de la série. Par défaut, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap est un Stand de courte portée avec une force et une vitesse remarquables. Il est capable d'envoyer voler un homme d'un coup de poing[4] et rivalise de vitesse avec Diego Brando transformé en dinosaure.[5]
Bien qu'il explore encore son plein potentiel, Valentine est un manieur de Stand créatif et maîtrisant bien ses capacités.
Dimensional Travel
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap allows different parallel worlds/dimensions to co-exist at the same time and/or in the same place. It also allows its user to visit these parallel worlds/dimensions and interact with them.[4]
Valentine travels by being closed between two objects, shown first by putting himself between a chair and the ground.[6] Liquid materials, such as water count as objects as well,[5] and even dust or steam. Valentine only needs an infinitesimal part of himself put between two objects to be able to hop between dimensions. Following that, Valentine may reappear from anywhere, like emerging from someone's back,[4] presumably by affecting objects in a neighboring dimension. One of the early facets of this power was that Valentine was impervious to projectiles as the hit body part would transform simply into a hole, however, this was then left out after its initial usage.[7]
Valentine can also pull other people or items to other dimensions by forcing them between two objects or into the object he uses as a portal;[4] for instance he can slam a door on them while they are backed against a wall. However, as no two versions of the same person or thing can co-exist in the same dimension, one of them will have to go back into their own. If not, and if they get too close to one another, both will crumble, splitting into Menger sponges before obliteration,[8] potentially causing an explosive reaction that may harm those close by.[9] This rule does not apply to Valentine himself. Valentine can also only partially drag people into a new dimension, immobilizing them inside an object.[4]
Diego Brando has demonstrated that people other than the Stand User can pull people to other dimensions if he reuses the same objects that were used to drag them between dimensions.[8]
It is explained that between dimensions, gravity as a force is able to persist with Valentine when he hops between dimensions. This keeps him from breaking into pieces and becoming scattered across the different worlds.[10]
If Funny Valentine is injured, he can hop into another dimension and transfer his D4C to this world's Valentine.[8][11] Said Valentine acquires the memory of the previous Valentine and becomes the 'Root Valentine' by virtue of now possessing the Stand, but his consciousness remains different from that of the previous owner. Nevertheless, since each Valentine is dedicated to gathering the Corpse Parts and has the same personality, the differences are unnoticeable. Furthermore, he can summon any number of alternate selves to a target dimension in order to outnumber his opponents.[5] These Valentines do not have D4C's of their own however, this Stand seemingly being wholly unique to the 'Root World', the single universe where the Corpse resides.[12]
During early chapters, people were somehow able to see into different dimensions from different angles, but this property is never expanded on.
The information below derives from a source not written by Araki. As such, it may or may not be considered canon.
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap also appears in the novel 'JORGE JOESTAR', although it belongs to an incarnation of Funny Valentine from the first universe as well as the grandson of Funny Valentine from the 37th universe, The Funniest Valentine. Later, Kars gets his own enhanced copy of the Stand, known as Ultimate D4C.
Araki states that the rabbit-like design of D4C's head came about because he wanted the Stand's silhouette to be completely different from the Stands of the previous main antagonists, so he decided to give it long ears.[2]
In the English localization of All Star Battle, D4C is only referred to by the shorthand D4C, whilst the full phrase "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" is generally changed to a synonym phrase ("Time to perform some dishonest acts at a fair and reasonable price!"). The JoJo Glossary seemingly mocks this change by claiming that "No one knows what this mysterious abbreviation means".
In Eyes of Heaven, it's explained that the Menger sponge-based dimension effect does not apply towards two versions of the same object or person if they are from the same timeline. This explains why two Joseph Joestars (both Part 2 and Part 3) can coexist and safely interact with each other. Two same people from alternate universes (but not parallel dimensions) are also shown to be capable of safely coexisting, such as Jonathan Joestar and his alternate universe counterpart.
