For the English versions of the game, Keicho's Stand is localized to be "Worse Company" - a name which has been used since the English dub of the Diamond is Unbreakable anime adaptation and VIZ's English translations of the manga.[5]
Keicho uses the Stand (スタンド, Sutando) Battle Style, fighting foes with Bad Company (バッド・カンパニー, Baddo Konpanī). During a fight, he can use several different attacks of his that were featured in Diamond Is Unbreakable.
Keicho commands his Infantry to shoot forward and up.

Bad Company
Bad Company is always active for Keicho; He can switch Bad Company's forces between Infantry (squads of foot soldiers wielding assault rifles) and Helicopters/Tanks (groups of Apache helicopters and Abrams tanks), altering his available skills.
Maintain Battle Formation
during ★ skills (costs ½ HH)
Any skill marked with a star (☆) allows Keicho to expend half a bar of Heart Heat to disconnect from Bad Company's current force and freely act while it continues executing its current skill, not unlike the Stand Rush mechanic for most other Stand Users. At the moment of activation, Keicho summons his other forces and can immediately begin using their respective attacks and skills, allowing for conjunction attacks involving both Infantry and Helicopter/Tanks attacking at once. This ability cannot be used if both Infantry and Helicopters/Tanks are active on-screen simultaneously.
It pisses me off!
+ WHEN DOWNED
Keicho delivers a forceful stomp in a low attack that causes the opponent to crumple. (Comboable) The stomp can also strike a downed opponent.

Skills [Infantry] (コマンド技)
All units, charge!
+ // [★] ON GROUND
Keicho commands his soldiers to charge forward while firing their assault rifles in a low attack, covering a short range in front of him before returning. If the attack is guarded, the opponent is pushed a significant distance away from Keicho, rendering him safe from retaliation. The distance the soldiers charge and the number of bullets they fire increase in order of , inversely affecting Keicho's recovery speed. (Flash Cancel comboable)
If Flash-Canceled, the attack will continue executing while Keicho can act freely, allowing him to use another Infantry skill in conjunction.
A group of parachuting soldiers descend from above and fire their assault rifles diagonally downward in a middle attack, before disappearing. The number of soldiers that appear and the damage of the attack increases in order of , inversely affecting Keicho's recovery speed. (Flash Cancel comboable)
If Flash-Canceled, the attack will continue executing while Keicho can act freely, allowing him to use another Infantry skill in conjunction.
Keicho commands the soldier taking point to deploy a landmine that functions as a low attack. If the opponent touches the landmine, it detonates to launch them high into the air. The mine also deals immense Guard damage, making it useful when trying to Guardbreak the opponent. The attack button inputted determines how far the point soldier moves before deploying the mine, in order of , inversely affecting Keicho's recovery speed. The landmine will disappear after a set period of time, and only one may be deployed at a time, automatically disarming the previous if the skill is performed again. (Comboable)
If Flash-Canceled, the attack will continue executing while Keicho can act freely, allowing him to use another Infantry skill in conjunction.
Attack type: High Damage: 60 + 50 (110)

Fire missiles!
+ // [★] ON GROUND
Keicho commands his helicopters to fire a set of projectile missiles that fly forward at a slight diagonal angle. The behavior of the missiles is determined by the attack button inputted, inversely affecting Keicho's recovery speed.
: The missiles are fired normally in a dense group, staggering the opponent on-hit. (Flash Cancel comboable)
: The missiles start slow and quickly accelerate, knocking the opponent off their feet. (Comboable)
: The missiles start stationary and accelerate at different speeds so that they connect consecutively, launching the opponent into the air. (Comboable)
If Flash-Canceled, the attack will continue executing while Keicho can act freely, allowing him to use another Helicopter/Tank skill in conjunction.
Attack type: High Damage: 44
All units, halt!
x2 + (costs 1 HH) ON GROUND
Expending a stock of Heart Heat, Keicho commands both his Helicopters and Tanks to attack from a stationary position while he himself begins to freely act separate from them. Helicopters will fire missiles and Tanks will fire artillery rounds, and they will do so three times before the attack concludes.
While this skill is executing, Keicho may act and deliver normal attacks, but cannot use other skills not summon his Infantry. His normal attacks are temporarily changed to be heavy punches delivered by himself. However, if Keicho takes any damage, the skill will end prematurely.
Attack type: High Damage: 3 x (44 + 40)

Heart Heat Attack / Great Heat Attack (ＨＨＡ / ＧＨＡ)
My Bad Company has unbreakable defense. (我が「バッド・カンパニー」は鉄壁の守り……, Waga 'Baddo Kanpanī' wa teppeki no mamori...)
+ 2 ATK Buttons ON GROUND
Keicho commands both of his Apache helicopters to let loose a rapid, chaotic onslaught of close-ranged missile fire, rapidly damaging the opponent before blowing them away. Keicho will automatically leave off with Helicopters/Tanks active afterward. This HHA does not require an initial hit to connect in order to work, and will not stop until it finishes or Keicho is interrupted. It also inflicts immense Guard damage, making it useful when trying to Guardbreak the opponent.
Attack type: High Damage: 7x14 + 50
“
Commence attack! (攻撃開始イーーーッ)
”
Fire! (撃てェーーーーッエエエエエエ, Uteeeeeeeeeeee!)
+ 3 ATK Buttons, or ON GROUND
Executing his multi-step strategy, Keicho declares that he'll blow the opponent's brains out as his Infantry soldiers take aim and fire a moderate distance forward. If they connect, the opponent is forced backwards trying to defend against the bullets, where they step on a deployed landmine that damages and immobilizes them. On cue, the Apache helicopters fly in and fire missiles that disarm the opponent's guard. Bad Company's full force, Infantry, Helicopters, and Tanks alike surround the helpless opponent on all sides before Keicho screams the final order to fire, prompting all units to attack at once and resulting in a gargantuan, fiery explosion.
If Keicho misses the initial attack, he reels back in disappointment and says, "Gh... Target missed." (チッ、外したか, Chi~, hazushita ka.)"
Attack type: High Damage: 288 / 345 / 432

Special Interactions
Dialogue
Keicho has unique interaction dialogue for both his match entrances and victories when facing certain characters.
Due to the availability of certain voice actors, most of these interactions re-use existing dialogue for Keicho's opponents. In this case, only Joseph Joestar, Risotto Nero and Rudol von Stroheim have new dialogue - Joseph because the voice actor returned for his character's "Your next line is..." interaction; Risotto and Stroheim due to the three characters being DLC released close to each other.

Keicho Nijimura's Stand. An army comprised of Infantry, Tanks, and Helicopters that attacks its target. Despite being toy-size, their weapons deal real damage and are powerful enough to remove limbs on a direct hit. They carry out Keicho's stratagems with military precision and boast both great firepower and impressive defenses.
Those struck by these Arrows manifest Stand abilities. If they do not possess the necessary qualities, they die instead. The arrowheads are fashioned from fragments of a meteorite that hit the Earth tens of thousands of years ago.
