Bohemian Rhapsody
Bohemian Rhapsody (
Ability
Bohemian Rhapsody is able to bring characters depicted in images into reality through media containing pictures of those characters. Cartoon and anime characters, even works of art and drawings are affected. The characters are made of the same material they came from, and thus cannot easily be destroyed: the mother goat from a book simply folded into paper when punched.
When one meets a character they like, they are dragged into the character's role and the fate of the character will be the fate of the victim. Running away and using barriers is useless, as the story will proceed as is originally described and any such obstacles will simply turn into paper that enables the characters to walk through. Characters can even chase the victim through storybook pages that appear on flat surfaces.
The Stand draws power from the original artist's creativity and passion put into the animation, and thus its range is infinite. One may be immune to this ability if they have no knowledge of the story or character, but this is difficult due to the number of characters brought to life, as well as the character's ability to act even based on subconscious recognition and drag even unwilling victims like Narciso Anasui into the role of the wolf in the Mother Goat and her Seven Kids. The only weakness is that there is no physical Stand to protect the user, but the large range allows him to attack indirectly from across the world, and at the same time there is no physical Stand through which the user can be harmed. The countries most heavily affected by the Stand were stated to have been the U.S., Japan, Italy, and France while the Stand was active.

Trivia
- Bohemian Rhapsody is the second Stand in Part VI to have entirely unknown stats (after the Green Baby's Green, Green Grass of Home). Some of its stats, however, can be deduced by the Stand's nature as an ability Stand and its worldwide effects.
- The images of characters destroyed in reality don't return to the books and papers they were featured. The only example shown in the manga was Pinocchio killed by Anasui.
- This Stand can be considered one of the most deadliest and powerful of all Stands. Thousands of deaths were caused by this Stand alone in the short time it was active.
- Ungalo can be anywhere when Bohemian Rhapsody is being used as his Stand has infinite range by nature. Only Stands that can manipulate time on a cosmic scale such as The World, King Crimson and Made in Heaven should be able to out-range it in effects.
- The arc in which Bohemian Rhapsody debuted seems to follow the same structure as the song it was based off of.
