Moody Blues (ムーディー・ブルース, Mūdī Burūsu) is the Stand of Leone Abbacchio, featured in Vento Aureo.
Moody Blues is a humanoid Stand of a height and build similar to Abbacchio's. It is clothed from its head to its knees in a semitransparent piece of medium shade, open between the base of its neck and its crotch (revealing a light surface), and which forms a tent between its head and its shoulders.
It has a depressed, digital timer on its forehead; while its eyes resemble the speakers of a cassette player; repeated on the sides of its shoulders and the back of its hands.
Most media featuring Moody Blue feature it being white and purple.
Although physically mediocre in direct combat, Moody Blues' esoteric power makes him useful for a number of outside tasks.
Moody Blues' primary ability is to reenact, or "replay" past events with utmost precision, allowing Abbacchio to freely investigate events[2].
Every event happening to a particular location or person will be exactly recreated by Moody Blues, even if it shouldn't happen; for instance Moody Blues reenacting Narancia's past will produce music because Narancia listened to some[2]. However, there are limits to what Moody Blues can replay, for instance, Clash's teleportation through water is impossible to reenact[3].
At the same time, the digital timer on Moody Blues' forehead will remain to indicate the point in time it is reenacting[2]. The "replay" can be controlled as if it was a video, thus Abbacchio can accelerate its speed to skip uninteresting events or pause it, allowing people to interact with the paused event if need be[2][4]. The farther away the event is in the past, the more time Moody Blues must spend immobile to reach it. Thus it had to remain defenseless for several minutes because Abbacchio investigated Diavolo's past meeting with Donatella Una 15 years ago[5].
By using a replay, Moody Blues can imitate the form of an individual for a limited time; at one point enabling Abbacchio to pilot a plane from observing the previous motions of the pilot recorded by Moody Blues.[6] The imitation effect of its ability can also be used to disguise Moody Blues, shown when it changed into Abbacchio in order to fool Illuso's Man in the Mirror into dragging it instead of Abbacchio himself into its mirror world[7].
Since it cannot attack when it is "rebroadcasting", Moody Blues becomes vulnerable[4]. Once finished, however, it can again attack.
