Mandom is the stand of Ringo Roadagain featured in Part VII: Steel Ball Run.

Appearance/Personality

Being an attachment to Ringo's watch, Mandom has no personality. It does however have strange appearance as the mask with several eyes covering it intertwine with strings.

Ability

Time reversal: The wristwatch is the core of Mandom's ability. By turning a hand on the wristwatch, Mandom causes time to reverse. The time reverse is exactly six seconds. Ringo stated that Mandom always reverses by 6 seconds “not a second more, not a second less”. This time reversal reverses everything to how and where it was 6 seconds ago. While time has been reversed, it seems only Ringo is aware when it happens, although everyone retains the memory of those six seconds.

It is stated that Ringo does not explicitly need to turn the hand on his watch in order to rewind time, but he does so for the purpose of a psychological switch that enables him to do so.

Trivia

  • Aside from the alternate Diego Brando's The World, Mandom is the only time-manipulation stand of a minor antagonist.
  • Mandom is a Japanese brand of perfumes and deodorants. Ringo and his stand name were probably based on one of their commercials featuring Charles Bronson(an actor mostly known for his roles in westerns) and the song "Lovers of the World".
  • The single "Lovers of the World" was called "男の世界"("True Man's World") in Japanese release. The lyrics mention "living in the world of Mandom".
