Paco's muscles are unusual in that they can grab onto things with stuff like the backs of his hands or his elbows.

—Jodio Joestar, The JOJOLands Chapter 1: Departure

THE Hustle (THE(ザ) ハッスル, Za Hassuru) is the Stand of Paco Laburantes, featured in the ninth part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, The JOJOLands.

THE Hustle grants Paco expert control over his own musculature, enabling him to grab and hold onto objects without the use of his hands or fingers.

Appearance

So far, THE Hustle has only manifested as an integrated ability for Paco. It is unknown if it has an appearance of its own.

Abilities

Prehensile Muscles

THE Hustle morphs Paco's muscles to bulge and be able to grab onto things, such as with the backs of his hands or his elbows. He can easily swipe objects such as wallets without even needing to move the joints in his fingers. Jodio describes Paco's muscles as being similar to when people tense up their muscles to trap mosquitoes sucking blood. For example, he is capable of trapping his enemy's limbs in his muscles.

The Stand allows Paco to be versatile with his movements, as he can hang from a ceiling vent or climb a tree using his back muscles.

Vibrating Muscles

THE Hustle is also capable of vibrating Paco's muscles. He uses this ability to free himself from the string Stand by wedging a scissor blade in between the strings and then vibrating his leg muscles to push the blade upward and break the string off.

Trivia

• In the character summary pages before the second to sixth chapters in Ultra Jump, the Stand's name was written as "The Hustle" (The(ザ) ハッスル) despite "THE" being capitalized in the first chapter. Furthermore, in the fourth chapter, it was written fully in English as THE HUSTLE(ザ ハッスル). These were corrected as of the seventh chapter and the first volume respectively, where all instances of the name have "THE" capitalized in English with "Hustle" in Japanese.
