“

Nous ne sommes que des esclaves endormis ! C'est mon pouvoir... le sens de Rolling Stones !

”

—Scolippi, Chapter 592: Sleeping Slaves, Part 3

Rolling Stones (ローリング・ストーン(ズ), Rōringu Sutōn(zu)) est le Stand de Scolippi, figurant dans Vento Aureo. Comme son nom le suggère, Rolling Stones est une pierre ronde. Il prédit la mort prochaine d'un individu proche et va automatiquement les suivre. Si la cible touche Rolling Stones, alors elle meurt immédiatement d'une mort paisible.

Apparence

D'ordinaire, Rolling Stones a l'apparence d'une pierre ordinaire. Il est rond mais le kanji kyō (凶, "de mauvais augure", "malheur", "malchance") est gravé dessus. Plus tard, il est possible qu'il prenne l'apparence d'une ou plusieurs personne sculptée à même la pierre, qui peut exhiber des blessures.

It is visible to ordinary humans, as an eyewitness reported seeing a woman holding it as she jumped down a building to her death.^[1]

Dans le manga couleur, Rolling Stones est noir. Dans l'anime, il est plutôt gris comme de la pierre commune.

Pouvoirs

Rolling Stones is an automatic Stand, as Scolippi can neither control nor stop it. It isn't actually malevolent as it shows a target their fated death, but the dubious mercy of instantly euthanizing them still makes it very dangerous.

Homing to Dying Target

Rolling Stones sinks into the ground, reappearing above Bucciarati to reach him

Rolling Stones spots a target fated to die soon and then begins to automatically stalk it.^[1] Rolling Stones follows a chosen person whose death is close, appearing and disappearing^[2] or even moving by itself^[3] until it touches the target. In truth, it can enter the ground and walls to move unnoticed.^[3]

As it follows the target, Rolling Stones gradually breaks down until the form of the target appears on it.^[2] More precisely, it shows a presentation of the target dying, exposing how they are fated to die, regardless of how close or far away the date of death is. When the target touches the stone, they will die, peacefully and without visible damage, as to "spare" them the pain.^[4]

Although Scolippi theorizes that breaking Rolling Stones or changing its shape significantly may change the target's fate, it is ultimately revealed that even the dust will take the shape of the prediction.^[3] Thus it is impossible to change the fate predicted by Rolling Stones, but breaking it will still stop it from chasing people. Those close to Rolling Stones without being sculpted inside it are not fated to die.^[4] Mista exploits this to purposefully jump down a building and come out unscathed.^[5]

This Stand gets its power from fate and moves by itself.^[4]^[6]

When someone not targeted by Rolling Stones touches it, several words or sentences such as Please kill me (オレヲ殺シテクレ, Ore wo koroshite kure) appear on their skin.^[2]

Trivia

Rolling Stone's ability is inspired by a famous quote from Renaissance artist Michelangelo about artistic inspiration, who claimed that every block of stone had already a statue inside it which the sculptor merely discovered.^[7]
