Pet Sounds's Stand
This Stand used by Petsounds is featured in Crazy Diamond's Demonic Heartbreak, a spinoff manga of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. As of the current chapter, its name has yet to be revealed.
Appearance

The Stand has the appearance of a mechanical bird, slightly larger than its user. The head is small, with it having tubes protruding out from it, and a large ridge along the top. While its central body is unseen, it appears to have a thin torso with several appendages. These arms have several circular joints which connect to several circular reels. These reels can unfurl into long thin strips, similar to a tape dispenser.
The Stand's legs are also fully mechanical in appearance, with them starting from the center of one of the reels. These legs have other reels attached where a knee joint would be, and they connect to large mechanical talons (similar to that of a large predatory bird).[1]
Abilities
The Stand, while not fully understood, appears to be a powerful long-range Stand that uses the memories of Petsounds against its targets.
Memory Replay
When Petsounds repeats a sound or voice from its memory, its Stand forces its victims to relive and re-enact the events of that memory. Those under the Stand's thrall gain a strange dimpled texture over their eyes. The Stand also appears to make punched cards enter its victims' bodies to replay the sound from inside of them.
The Stand's power not only affects people who were present for the relived memories, such as Hol Horse when he took aim at DIO in 1989 with Emperor,[2] but it can also affect people who were never present for the memory, such as Hiraoka reliving Wilson Phillips crashing his car.[3] The Stand's power can also extend to multiple people at a time, as Petsounds is able to force several pastry chefs to reenact the actions of women who sacrificed themselves to DIO.[4] Petsounds can also negate the Stand's effects, causing its victim's actions to diverge from the memory, as it does when it stops mimicking DIO's voice during Hol Horse's memories and his finger is still ready to pull the trigger, unlike in his memory when he never got the chance.[4]
The only limiting factor to the Stand's ability is how far the sound travels. If someone cannot hear the Stand repeating the sound, then they will not be forced to relive the past event.[5] A victim can also escape the Stand's control by remembering an even more vivid memory such as Hol Horse remembering how he fled Cairo with Boingo while witnessing Kakyoin's final Emerald Splash[4] or a stronger emotion such as Josuke breaking free after flying into a rage.[5]
