Vitamin C

“

Mon Stand s'appelle Vitamin C – il a le pouvoir de vous ramollir totalement.

”

—Tamaki Damo, JoJolion Chapter 49: Hato Brought Her Boyfriend Home, Part 3

Vitamin C (ビタミンC, Bitamin Shī) est le Stand de Tamaki Damo, figurant dans JoJolion. C'est un Stand tentaculaire avec un motif de main. Lorsque quelqu'un touche ses mains ou les traces de doigts qu'il laisse, alors la victime est ramollie à un degré extrême au point d'être liquéfiée, du moment qu'elle reste à portée de Damo.

Apparence

Vitamin C se manifeste pour la première fois à travers les traces de mains et de doigts humides qui demeurent sur toutes les surfaces que Tamaki Damo touche. Lorsqu'il confronte ouvertement Norisuke IV et Josuke Higashikata, Tamaki Damo révèle plus de la forme de Vitamin C

Vitamin C est constitué d'une tête et d'épaules desquelles pendent une multitude de tentacules. Sa ressemble à une tête d'harlequin robotique avec un visage robotique marquée par une main renversée. Il ne possède que des yeux robotiques et pas de bouches. De sa tête pendent deux cornes descendantes rappelant les oreilles d'un bonnet de fou. D'autres très petites piques forment une couronne au sommet de son crâne. Un motif de "C" décore son front et ses cornes.

Les épaules de Vitamin C sont recouverts par un col couvert de C aussi et de ce col pendent plusieurs plaques hexagonales tenues par un fil. Le bas de son corps est remplacé par plus d'une dizaines de tentacules en bandes qui se terminent en forme de main.

Pouvoirs

Vitamin C is a terrifying Stand to face in close quarters and in narrow spaces because its softening power renders everyone powerless before Damo. Vitamin C doesn't show exceptional physical abilities, but is at least able to punch a softened person into a wall.^[1] Vitamin C is also showed to have exceptional speed, able to easily outspeed Killer Queen, multiple Sheer Heart Attacks and even Soft & Wet.^[1]^[2]

However, it has a short range, leaving Damo vulnerable to ranged attacks.

Ramollissement

Norisuke is softened to the point champagne bubbles can stretch his body

Vitamin C's main ability is to "soften" living organisms' tissues, melting them into a liquid state.

Vitamin C and Damo can leave faintly visible fingerprints on any surface, and with Vitamin C's multiple hands, this results in entire rooms being covered in handprints.^[3] The fingerprints seem to be made of a squishy substance that people may notice.^[4]

Anyone, even Stands,^[2] who touches the fingerprint will be softened, taking the characteristic of a liquid and becoming elastic.^[5] People lose their consistency and typically melt into a puddle of flesh over time.^[3] It becomes easy for Damo to insert random objects into his victims and even slice into them. He notably cuts limbs and organ from his softened victims with a 1000 yen bill.^[6] In that state, the victims become unable to move or attack, as any impact makes them lose their coherence. Thus they are powerless, and Damo is free to torment and kill them. Damo seems to be able to modify the speed at which people are softened. Joshu was softened over a sizable period^[3] while Hato was reduced to a liquid almost immediately when Damo attacked her.^[1]

The weakness of the softening ability is that it has a very short range, seemingly restricted to a single closed area like a small boat^[2] or a house.^[1] If someone affected by the ability leaves Vitamin C's range, its effects disperse immediately.^[1]
