Hey Ya!
Hey Ya! (ヘイ・ヤー, Hei Yā) is the Stand of Pocoloco, featured in Steel Ball Run.
Appearance
Hey Ya! is a roughly humanoid Stand. Its head is shaped as an upturned bucket, marked on top by three concentric circles, and malformed eyeholes of uneven size. It wears a wreath of many small, hollow cylinders, and its lips are pierced by a row of short nails.
Hey Ya! is light brown in the colored manga.
Personality
As part of its ability, Hey Ya! is an overtly positive and friendly character towards its user. While a bit demanding with its requests, it nonetheless means only wellness towards Pocoloco, not unlike a trainer. Its capacity for speech serves almost-exclusively to boost Pocoloco's mood and confidence. One of its keywords is "luck", telling its user that luck is on his side, whether or not it is actually true, in order to motivate him.
Ability
Hey Ya! has no combat ability whatsoever and is seemingly functionally useless apart from boosting its user's confidence.
Cheering: Hey Ya! is seen lurking about Pocoloco, whispering advice, motivating him to take advantage of his own luck. Despite the misconception that the Stand improves Pocoloco's luck, it doesn't do anything other than encourage its user and put them in a good mood.[1]
Despite all this, Pocoloco begins having a string of fortuitous circumstances happen to him when he follows Hey Ya!'s orders, through sheer coincidence. Hey Ya!'s motivation alone was powerful enough to drive Pocoloco to win the Steel Ball Run in the end.
Trivia
- Hey Ya! is also the name of Pocoloco's horse.
- This Stand's name was only revealed in the JOJOVELLER artbook.
