Brain Storm

“

It entered my skin and I can sense it climbing up my body. The insides of my body are being polluted and melted, causing these holes to become bigger and bigger.

Debut: JoJolion Chapter 66: The Plant Appraiser - Rai Mamezuku (31), Part 2

Brain Storm is a bacterial-like Stand that Urban Guerrilla sends out of his hands, which can melt the flesh of anyone touching it. First, they grab onto the surface of the skin with their feelers. They break through the skin and their feelers extend inside the victim's body. The Stand causes hemolysis and enters deeper into the body, while also constantly multiplying exponentially. This causes the target's body to break down as if holes are being dug into it.^[1]

As Rai Mamezuku points out, once the Stand has made its way into the body it is impossible to remove, requiring immediate amputation to prevent death. However, the Stand is easily washed away with water if it has not entered the body yet.^[2]
