Hail 2 U! (HAIL(ヘイル) 2(トゥー) U(ユー) (君に幸あれ)!)

Judgement (ジャッジメント(審判), Jajjimento) is the Stand of Cameo, featured in the third part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, Stardust Crusaders.

Judgement is a burly mechanical humanoid Stand whose ability is to sculpt fakes out of dirt, "granting" wishes by creating things that its victims ask for.

Appearance

Judgement

Judgement appears as a large, mechanical humanoid robot. Barrel-chested, it wears massive shoulder pads and has three fingers of a metallic sheen on its hands. A piece in the shape of a round helmet sits atop the left side of its head. Its design is inspired by Android Kikaider and Kamen Rider by Shotaro Ishinomori.[1]

Personality

Cameo speaks through Judgement, pretending to be a kind Genie and goads Polnareff into activating its ability.[2] However, it soon reveals its true plan and exposes its pleasure at turning the wishes of his victim against themselves.[3] Judgement often shouts "Hail 2 U!", after granting a wish, and as a battle cry.[2]

The stand represents the tarot card, Judgement, which symbolizes rebirth and self-reflection. The Stand's nature is also consistent with the card's symbolism in reverse: casting doubt and deceiving people into making poor decisions.

Abilities

Judgement is a fairly powerful Stand, having above average strength and speed as far as Stands go and is able to clash with Silver Chariot and come out without a scratch.[2] Its large metal body is particularly hard to damage. However, it yields against more brute-force Stands like Magician's Red[4] and relies on tricking unwitting victims to use their wish against them.

Wish Granting

Judgement's unique power is to create clay constructs out of humans' deepest desires[5] but it will turn the wishes against its victims. This is a representation of Judgement's power; to toy with a person's heart. The fakes are nearly perfect: fake treasures will have the weight and texture of real gold[2] and fake people will have the appearance (although Judgement purposefully makes them more monstrous), voice and memories of the real person.[5] Passing as a genie, it tricks Jean Pierre Polnareff into wishing for his sister to come back to life and then used his emotional power to form a visage of her out of the dirt. However, Sherry's clone tried to devour Polnareff, who couldn't muster the strength to hurt his sister's figure.[3]
