User blog:Battlefan237/JJBA minor antagonists showdown: DIO's Agents vs. La Squadra

My last JoJo battle got consumed by evil wikia so I hereby make another to make it up lol.

Intro
Why do we love JoJo ? Some say it's because of the series' memetic nature, while some say it's due to the bizarre character designs. However,you're not a real JoJo fan if you don't feel impressed by the major component of JJBA - the stand fights.

From Dio Brando's epic downfall to Yoshikage Kira's death of irony and Diavolo's even more ironic demise, every final battle in JoJo has managed to carve a deep impression in JoJolovers' hearts, topping the charts in almost every ranking of JoJo fights. However, let's not forget that the final battles only take up a small portion of the entire JJBA, while the other parts are filled with amazing fights contributed by countless minor antagonists that attempt to mess with our heroes on their sacred crusade.Some of the minor villains impress us with their sense of honor,while some just act like assholes and make our hearts swell with satisfactory as the hero delivers pages of punching, sending them to hell.Regardless, the minor villains are vital parts of JoJo and today let's pay tribute to two of the most impressive minor villain groups: DIO's Agents,dastard but dedicated followers of DIO that attempted to sabotage the Joestar group on their way to Cairo; La Squadra, Passione's finest hitmen that rebelled against Diavolo. Who will be the deadliest ?

DIO's Agents
"Just one little wound is all I need...then "Justice" will do the rest!"
 * -|The Leader=

- Enya the Hag

Enya is a devout follower of DIO and one of his closest confidantes. Enya was the person to awaken DIO's Stand after acquiring the Bow and Arrow and was also the mother of another one of DIO's henchmen, J. Geil. Sending out various Stand users in an attempt to stop the Joestar Group reaching Egypt she would eventually confront the group herself in Pakistan after J. Geil was killed by Polnareff. Defeated by Jotaro and captured, DIO dispatched another Stand users to trigger the flesh bud in her brain to kill her before she could reveal the secret of his Stand.

Stand: Justice

"Looks like Justice wants to dance with you."

- Enya the Hag on Justice

Justice is a fog based Stand.It takes the form of fog covering a village-size area with its core shaped like a skull with skeleton.It has the following abilities.


 * Body Control:It's main power is the ability to control the bodies of others through an open wound. When someone is wounded on any part of their body the victims blood will be absorbed into the fog and turned into a perfectly clean round hole allowing Justice to control the associated body part. It can make these parts move as it wishes being able to move and throw people about or force the victim to harm themselves. Enya facilitates this either by using a sharp pair of scissors to pierce the victim or having one of her zombies cause a wound on the target. Justice can control as many people as it wants and Enya makes uses of nearby graveyards in order to build up a small army of corpses to attack her target.

Other weapons
 * Illusion Creation:Justice also has a secondary power of illusions. Enya has been shown creating a city illusion over a graveyard, disguising hazardous objects as vehicles and disguising the skeletons of corpses she has resurrected as normal humans, albeit with deformed features and holes all over their body. Also as Justice is a fog based Stand it makes it impossible to harm directly as any attacks merely pass through it.
 * Various improvised weapons:Enya uses a set of improvised weapons to inflict wounds, most notably a pair of scissors.She also used her cane to bash a cat at one point in the series.

"Do yo underSTAND?"

- Rubber Soul to Jotaro Kujo

"rero rero rero rero rero rero...etc."

- Rubber Soul, when impersonating Kakyoin

Rubber Soul is a minor antagonist featured in Stardust Crusaders.

While the Joestar Group is in Singapore looking for tickets to travel to India, Rubber Soul uses his Stand to assume the appearance of Kakyoin when Jotaro Kujo and Anne were looking around.Initially he was able to fool Jotaro into thinking he was Kakyoin, however he soon aroused suspicion because of his violent response towards a pocket-picker.Later,he attempted to push Jotaro off the cable car platform, only to fail because of Star Platinum's intervention.

Finally being discovered as a hostile stand user, Rubber Soul attacked Jotaro with his stand, managing to place a fragment of Yellow Temperance on his finger. Faced with the danger of being devoured by the Stand, Jotaro jumped out of the cable car, with Rubber Soul gloating that he has no need to chase him. Then Rubber Soul gets off and enters a cable car in the guise of a woman just to see Jotaro's futile attempts to freeze the Stand fragment. Rubber Soul reveals himself and gloats of his Stand's invincibility while it consumes a dog that happened to be in the cable car. Jotaro is forced to use his grandfather's final secret technique of running away by punching a hole in the bottom of the cable car and dragging Rubber Soul with him into the water below.

Being forced to lower his Stand's guard to breathe,Rubber Soul was eventually retired by Jotaro.

Stand: Yellow Temperance "I'll just digest you right down to your shit!"

- Rubber Soul boasting his stand

Yellow Temperance appears as an amorphous, yellow substance, with no mouth, eyes, nose or any other facial features, bound to its user.

Unlike most Stands, Yellow Temperance can be seen, as it is bound directly to its User's body.

Its blob-like nature and ability to absorb organic matter from physical contact result in one of the few Stands of the series that can be said to be physically invincible.

On the other side, Yellow Temperance is limited by its own user's human vulnerabilities, to the point it can be said that its one weak point is Rubber Soul.

"Very well ! (E-rai-nei !)"
 * Assimilation:Yellow Temperance's primary power is the ability to assimilate organic matter, using it to grow stronger and larger. Thus, its user constantly seeks things to consume even when hidden.It also makes it visible to ordinary people. When deposited as just a small part on someone else, Yellow Temperance begins to cover their entire body, spreading to wherever it has touched until it completely assimilates the victim, killing them.
 * Appearance Replication:Yellow Temperance is able to alter Rubber Soul's physical appearance.This ability seems to be almost instantaneous, as it manages to kill a woman in a ski lift and steal her body in an instant, while the other riders are focused on Jotaro, who had been thrown into the car earlier.This ability has been shown to mimic other Stands as well, when what seemed to be a part of Yellow Temperance detached itself from Rubber Soul under his Noriaki Kakyoin disguise and formed into Hierophant Green.
 * Physical Imperviousness:Yellow Temperance, because of its blob-like nature, has the capacity to absorb obscene amounts of physical punishment and impacts, acting as an armor for Rubber Soul.It can resist impacts, burning, and freezing. It also seems to protect its user underneath from any damage as well. It cannot, however, make up for human frailties, such as the need for oxygen.For all intents and purposes, Yellow Temperance is invincible as long as Rubber Soul is still alive to use it.
 * -|The Shrinker=

- Alessi's catchphrase

Alessi is a cowardly assassin and one of the Egypt 9 Glory Gods. He was assigned to ambush Jotaro Kujo and Jean Pierre Polnareff.Initially he successfully transformed Polnareff into kid Polnareff and managed to corner him in a bathroom. However he soon got cocky and got outsmarted by Polnareff, resulting him getting stabbed in the face by baby Silver Chariot and falling out of the window.He then met Jotaro and once again transformed him to his kid form.However it turned out kid Jotaro was already a badass, who beat up Alessi, resulting in him temporarily shutting off his stand. Thanks to this Jotaro and Jean Pierre transformed back to adults and beat the crap out of Alessi.

Stand: Sethan "Pedo-lo-lo-lo-lolo ！Here's Alessi !"

- Alessi,making a Shining reference while chasing Polnareff

Sethan is bound to Alessi's shadow, taking its form but with a distinguished shape, the most prominent feature being its round head, a pointed crest and large eyes. If the shadow is sideways, Sethan's cruel, jagged beak is revealed.It is a weak Stand with almost no offensive options, relying on its esoteric power to make its opponent weaker than Alessi. However, this alone makes it a terrifying opponent to face.

Other weapons
 * Age Reversal:Anyone standing in Alessi's shadow will age backwards at a rapid speed.Polnareff, who touched it for a split second, ended up as an approximately 7 or 8-year-old child,while a woman in her twenties stood in it for ten seconds and was reverted back into a helpless fetus[4] that, without the connection to her mother's womb, is bound to die within minutes. If a Stand user is de-aged to before he acquired their Stand like Jotaro, they will temporarily lose it. The mind of the target also ages backwards, making them forget things they only knew as an adult (like names of friends or how to conjure a Stand). Stands also become younger in form, as Sethan also reverts the age of the spirit.
 * Shadow Reflection:Because Sethan takes on the form of Alessi's shadow, it imitates and replicates everything he does and has.Because of this, any weapon Alessi holds is also held by Sethan, allowing it to attack the opponent with the shadow of the weapon.Moreover, the shadow can move independantly from its possessor and even partially stick out of a surface to attack.
 * Hatchet:An over-sized hatchet (engraved with the word 'Ax') used by Alessi when attacking his opponents.
 * Handgun:A long-barreled handgun with approximately five to six rounds, which he uses to attack his reversed opponents.
 * -|The Covert=

"Hey Jotaro, you're my kind of guy... too bad I have to make my Stand, the High Priestess, digest you."

- Midler to Jotaro Kujo

Midler is a mercenary for hire pledged to DIO. Midler encounters the Joestar Group while they are travelling towards Egypt on a submarine. Infiltrating the vessel, she disguised her Stand as a cup of coffee before revealing herself and attacking, managing to incapacitate Joseph Joestar. The group attempted to lock her inside of the submarine and scuba-dive up to the surface but 7 metres from the surface she reveals her Stand once more, this time with gigantic proportions and swallowed them whole. However Jotaro was able to break them free by destroying her Stand's teeth, leaving her unconscious and badly injured on the shoreline above.

Stand: High Priestess "High Priestess will chew you to bits!"

- Milder on HP

High Priestess is a long range Stand that takes the form of an ugly crawling humanoid creature.


 * Shapeshifting:It's main ability is that it can shape-shift into any inorganic matter such as metal, rock, glass etc. The transformation is convincing enough that even when closely observing or touching High Priestess while disguised it is impossible to tell her apart from her surroundings and can use this to stealthily move from one part of it's surrounding to another. High Priestess can even turn into more complex structures such as a spear gun to attack her enemies.
 * Various powers whose stats rely on the distance between itself and Milder:High Priestess herself has razor sharp claws can easily cut through bone and metal and diamond-hard teeth which are near impossible to break. It is also incredibly quick and nimble, able to avoid the superhumanly fast Star Platinum in close quarters. High Priestesses size and power are directly proportionate to how far away she is from her user and the closer she is to Midler the larger it can become ranging from being the size of a human hand to the size of a seabed.However when it is far from its user it is severely weakened and easy to punch away.


 * -|Long-Range Menace=

"I'm planning on doing one hell of a... MASSACRE!"

- Gray Fly

Gray Fly is an assassin responsible for many massacres and disasters. He specialises in making his mass killings look like accidents involving trains and plane crashes, including a plane crash in England which killed 300 people. Gray Fly was enlisted by DIO in order or bring down the plane which the Joestar Group was travelling on and posing as a normal passenger he boarded their plane and used his Stand to attack them. However he was ultimately defeated by Kakyoin and seemingly foiled in his plans only for him to reveal before his death that he had already killed the pilots in order to ensure the plane crashed after all. Stand: Tower of Gray

"You could be one inch away, pointing at me with ten guns... The ten bullets wouldn't even touch my Stand!"

- Gray Fly on his Stand

Tower of Gray is a insect Stand, taking on the appearance of a large stag beetle.
 * Super Speed:This Stand is one of the fastest stands in the entire JoJo series.Its amazing speed which allows it to easily avoid the punches of Star Platinum (a Stand with fast enough reflexes to catch a bullet fired at point blank range) and multiple Emerald Splashes in a row. According to Gray Fly it can move so fast that you could have ten guns fire at it at point blank range and Tower of Gray would still escape unharmed.
 * Stinger:Tower of Gray's main form of attack comes from it's secondary jaw which is attached to long, extendable stinger and is lined with dozens of razor sharp teeth. It has enough force to tear through flesh and force it's way through a persons head with Tower of Gray's preferred attack being to rip out the tongues of his enemies/victims.In the show it tore through the heads of an entire line of passengers on the plane, murdering them all in sheer seconds.

However Tower of Gray itself is incredibly frail and one hit would be enough to so kill it and so it relies entirely on it's speed to avoid taking damage. It also cannot dodge something it does not see coming so it can be ambushed.

Other ability
 * Normal appearance/Skilled actor:Gray Fly is the most normal-looking stand user in the entire series. He is also able to pretend to be an innocent passenger that happens to be awaken by Joestar group's noises in the early stages of his battle, fooling the entire Joestar group.


 * -|The Duo=

"You really did waste your youth trying to hunt me down... but it looks like you won't succeed! What a pathetic life you've lived!"

- J.Geil to Jean Pierre

"Better to be No.2 than No.1, that's my motto!"

- Hol Horse

Hol Horse & J. Geil are a pair of Stand users who work together in order to compensate for their respective Stand's weaknesses. Both are mercenaries for hire but J. Geil is also a serial rapist and raped and killed Polnareff's sister which sparked his quest for revenge. Dispatched to India to take of the Joestar Group, they lured Polnareff away from the rest of the group but failed to kill him after intervention by Avdol, who by sheer stroke of luck they managed to apparently kill instead. J. Geil was eventually tracked down and killed by Polnareff in revenge for his sister and Avdol but Hol Horse was able to escape and would encounter the Joestar Group several more times.

Stands:Hanged Man and Emperor

"The gun is mightier than the sword!"

- Hol Horse on Emperor

"I'm inside the mirror, you cannot reach me in here..."

- J.Geil


 * Emperor:Emperor is Hol Horse's stand which takes on the form of a revolver. Emperor fires bullets like a normal gun but Hol Horse is able to freely control the trajectory of his bullets. This enables him to bend his bullets around corners, do a U turn if he misses his target, navigate them through a metal pipe without being able to physically see them and all with enough precision to avoid even incredibly fast stands such as Silver Chariot with no lag time. Hol Horse summons Emperor directly into his hands which makes it perfect for a quick or stealthy attack and he has an infinite number bullets. Emperor works in conjunction with Hanged Man by shattering windows or mirrors in order to give it more angles to attack from.


 * Hanged Man:Hanged Man is J. Geil's Stand which resides within reflective surfaces. Rather than attacking a person directly, Hanged Man appears in reflective surfaces such as mirrors, windows, puddles of water and even the pupils of someone's eye. It then attacks it's victims reflections through the use of two wrist blades which are sharp enough to cut through flesh with ease and they will bear the wounds of this attack. Hanged Man can travel between reflective surfaces at the speed of light which makes it incredibly hard to actually damage. However it can only move between reflective objects in a linear faction and has to move it's location if it's current surface is covered or destroyed meaning it can be forced into following a particular path.

Squadra Esecuzioni (Or: The Hitman Team)
"I can't wait! I can't wait to see the look on your face as you die! I'll send your head flying!"
 * -|The Leader=

- Rissoto Nero to Diavolo

Risotto Nero is the leader of La Squadra Esecuzioni and sends his squad-mates to battle Team Bucciarati; all in order to take Diavolo's daughter Trish Una and use her to get to him, in an attempt to avenge their fellow teammates Sorbet and Gelato, who were murdered by Cioccolata and Secco under the boss's order. After he is the only one left, Risotto Nero tails Team Bucciarati up to Sardinia to confront them, only to meet with Doppio (Diavolo in his another personality ) instead, resulting in a heated battle between him and Diavolo/Doppio. Risotto almost succeeded in killing Diavolo, but the intervention of Narancia's stand ruined his chance and resulted in Diavolo converting a defeat into victory.

Stand: Metallica

"No matter how heavily someone breathes after massive amounts of iron have been stolen from their body... No oxygen will be absorbed into it! Your body becomes a corpse before you have even died."

- Rissoto Nero

Metallica manifests itself inside Risotto's body as a swarm of small metallic beings with stitches across their individual bodies. Their mouths are shaped as though they are moaning or screaming.

Its design is based on human cells, red blood cells and the hattifatteners of the Moomins. It has the following abilities.


 * Magnetism/Iron Manipulation:Although Metallicas are physically weak and unable to fight as they can only accumulate inside Risotto Nero's body. Nonetheless, their magnetism power is highly lethal and Risotto masterfully uses this ability to the fullest to threaten even Doppio and his limited use of King Crimson.First of all, this stand has the ability to manipulate iron with magnetism. Inside a 5 to 10 meters circle around Risotto,the assassin can use his magnetism in various ways, having enough precision to create objects by gathering the iron inside someone. By default, he naturally attracts iron. Risotto Nero prominently uses this ability to turn the iron inside a target into sharp objects such as razor blades, needles or scissors in order to internally damage them. This is shown when Doppio tried to rush Risotto, only to get a face full of needles created from the iron within his blood. Metallica can also use the iron inside its user to manipulate his severed body parts and create staples to reattach them.Furthermore, the use of iron from a target's body dramatically diminishes the quantity of hemoglobin inside them, reducing the blood's ability to carry oxygen throughout the body.Unable to function, the suffocating body will eventually die if the victim doesn't replenish their iron in time,enabling Risotto to simply wait out his opponent's death. Iron is one of the most common elements on earth and thus Metallica can also manipulate iron from the environment to form objects, such as forming knives from the iron within the earth and then hurling them at a target.
 * Camouflage:With its ability, Metallica can also stick fine particles of iron onto Risotto's body,causing him to reflect light and blend into the background.This ability also carries on to Risotto's blood, as shown when Risotto was shot by Aerosmith, causing his blood to splatter onto Doppio's head and automatically camouflage it with the background, resulting in the image that Doppio saw previously that made him believe that Risotto would blow a hole through his head.

Other Ability "Even roaring trains, even the raging seas will come to a grinding halt at my command! None can defy my whims !"
 * Stand Manipulation:Another deadly function of Metallica is invading other stands. By sticking itself into a Stand, Metallica can forcefully manipulate that Stand. Risotto uses this lesser property of Metallica to seize control of Aerosmith from Narancia and attack Doppio from behind.
 * Stand User Deducing:Nero is capable of telling whether an individual is a stand user or not by observing the details of his/her appearances,behaviors,etc. Example being he successfully deduced that Diavolo/Doppio is a stand user the first time they met through observing Diavolo's eye movements.
 * -|User of wearable stand=

- Ghiaccio

Ghiaccio is a member of La Squadra Esecuzioni who chases Giorno Giovanna and Guido Mista near Venice with his cryogenic ice-generating Stand, White Album. Not much is known about him, aside the fact that he is easily irritated by minor things such as misspelling,misreading, receiving too many packages at a time and confusing of words and metaphors. Thus, when the boss didn't give his squad the attention and the amount of salary they thought they deserved, Ghaccio was the first and loudest to complain. In a word, he's always pissed.

Stand: White Album "There is nothing that can move in the cryogenic world. I can freeze anything in the universe!"

- Ghiaccio on the effect of White Album

White Album is rare among Stands in that it appears as a suit for Ghiaccio to wear. Protecting its user from harm and giving him the potent ability to freeze everything, White Album is a fearsome Stand in battle. It does, however, possess a weak point in the form of a vulnerable hole at Ghiaccio's neck. It has the following abilities.


 * Freezing things:White Album's signature ability is to dramatically decrease the temperature of anything Ghiaccio touches.When the assassin touches something, the affected object's temperature decreases dramatically. White Album's power is so powerful it can reach temperatures of about -100 °C easily, freeze gasoline,and rapidly create a large quantity of ice out of sea water (faster than someone could swim). Naturally, the cold is dangerous to the human body: White Album can freeze people, dropping the temperature to the point vital functions are threatened and can solidify limbs to the point they can break like ice.As White Album drops the temperature, so does the ability of objects to move. At low enough temperatures, Ghiaccio can simply stop attacks in their tracks, making conventional attacks like gunshots or punches ineffective. \Ghiaccio can also precisely control his power. He can form specific shapes of ice such as blades to ice skate on or redirect the freezing of a large body of water. Moreover, if he cancels White Album's freezing willingly, the previously affected objects immediately return to their normal temperature.If Ghiaccio stops contact with a frozen object, it will return to its normal temperature.


 * Ice Armor:In addition, White Album can solidify the moisture surrounding him into an armor of ice.The armor is invulnerable to bullets as it stops their movement long before they fully penetrate, and is at least strong enough to withstand Gold Experience's punches. However, a massive enough object like a large screw bolt can pierce through it. White Album also enhances the physical abilities of its user. With the armor, Ghiaccio becomes strong enough to break a stone statue with a single punch or can skate so fast he's easily able to reach a car running at 80 km/h.Like an igloo, the inside of the armor is kept insulated, meaning he is always warm.The only opening in the armor is an air hole on the back of the user's neck, making it the Stand's greatest weak spot.However, Ghiaccio mitigates this by incorporating chunks of frozen air inside his armor as reserve and defrosting the air as he needs it, thus free to seal the airhole.


 * White Album Gently Weeps:This is the stand's special move. When unleashing Gently Weeps, White Album can decrease the temperature to reach -210 °C or less, at which point the surrounding air itself freezes solid. With this technique, Ghiaccio is able to create floating sheets of invisible frozen air that are able to reflect bullets back to an attacker.The two downsides of this ability is that it burns through Ghiaccio's stamina and it doesn't perfectly cover Ghiaccio's body: if exposed, Sex Pistols can guide their bullets through the frozen air sheets to hit Ghiaccio directly.
 * -|The Shrinker=

"A threat is something that only exists because of the mystery behind it!"

- Formaggio

Formaggio is a member of La Squadra Esecuzioni who is particularly known for his efficiency, fast-thinking and sharp wits (found Gelato's body with ease, figured out Areosmith's powers with small clues, instantly figured out the heroes are guarding boss's daughter by observing things inside Narancia's shopping bags). After Team Bucciarati takes custody of the Boss's daughter Trish Una, trails and battles Narancia during a supply mission in an attempt to discover her location. If it hadn't been the info of boss's daughter he wanted, Narancia would have been killed by him.However, the fact that Formaggio left Narancia alive for information ultimately bit back, resulting in his death.

Stand: Little Feet "I shrank myself! That's my ability Little Feet! The other guys say it's worthless...heh, heh, heh... well, whether it's worthless or worth-ful is all up to how you use it..."

- Formaggio on Little Feet

Little feet appears in the form of a little robotic humanoid form, with a sharp nail on its right hand. It has the following abilities.
 * Shrinking others:Little Feet can shrink any person or object by cutting them with its long and sharp index finger.The cut target will gradually shrink over time along with their clothes, any item they carry, and their possible Stand.The shrinking is gradual and slow,and Formaggio states it would take several minutes to reduce the normally 1.70m high Narancia to around 8 cm,and it occurs no matter how far away Little Feet is from the target.As the victim shrinks, so does their Stand's power to the point where they become harmless to Formaggio.If the victim abandons an item while shrinking, the Stand's effect on this item will cease.While Little Feet cannot speed up the shrinking, it can freely stop it or return a shrunken item to its normal size, in which case the reversal is instantaneous and violent, a pen returned to normal growing with enough force to impale Narancia's palm.Potentially, the target could continue to shrink until they are microscopic in size.


 * Self-shrinking:Conversely, Little Feet can freely control Formaggio's and its own size; in addition, the shrinking and subsequent return to normal are instantaneous. It allows Formaggio to easily sneak around, ambush and evade most attacks launched at him.

Other weapons
 * Shrunken Car:For the purpose of this battle Formaggio will be packed with the shrunken car which he used to assassinate an Italian politician in the anime. It is a normal-sized car whose size has been reduced to that of a key, allowing Formaggio to keep it inside his pocket.He can either toss it towards his enemy as a projectile or find other creative ways to use it in this scenario.
 * Spider Bin:When attacking Narancia, Formaggio captured a venomous spider and kept it inside a wine bottle in which he placed Narancia and let the spider torture him. In this battle, he is allowed place his shrunken opponents inside this bottle and leave the killing task to the spider.

"They are a couple, aren't they ? They must be getting it on somewhere."

- Illuso on the disappearance of Sorbet and Gelato

Illuso is a member of the Hitman Squad, and probably the most ruthless member, considering his joking tune when talking about death and killing. Before Vento Aureo, Illuso murdered Sheila E's sister, which partially led to the events of Purple Haze Feedback.

During Vento Aureo, Illuso faces Pannacotta Fugo, Leone Abbacchio and Giorno Giovanna in Pompeii in a race to grab an important key left by the Boss. He is a Stand User and exploits the mirror powers of his Man in the Mirror to ambush his enemies. Initially he gained the upper hand and almost killed Fugo, however after coordinated efforts of GioGio, Fugo and a Abbachio, Illuso was tricked into letting Purple Haze enter the mirror world, which resulted in his gruesome death. During his demise, he regretted everything he had done and felt guilty over every life he had taken.

Stand: Man in the Mirror "I stand secure and unmatched inside the mirror."

- Illuso on Man in the Mirror

Man in the Mirror is a humanoid stand that takes the form of a humanoid dude with a pair of glasses. It has a set of complicated but powerful powers.


 * Mirror World Entrance:Being a rather complicated stand, Man in the Mirror enables its user to enter a "mirror world".

Moreover, Man in the Mirror can also drag anything into the mirror world by using reflective surfaces as portals, selecting anything that can enter through Illuso's orders,and can do so regardless of how small the "portal" is.Breaking the mirror does not stop this ability and actually creates more openings to the mirror world.

Only those Illuso and Man in the Mirror are about to drag into the mirror can see him, even if others are looking directly at the mirror.Moreover, it may also only select specific parts of an object to drag in or let out, thus was able to only let in half of Abbacchio, effectively disabling him.Illuso can play with multiple reflections in order to drag people through blind spots.

If another Stand User is dragged into the mirror, Illuso can choose to forbid their Stand to enter with them and a summoned Stand will find itself alone in the real world although it can be remotely manipulated by the User.This makes Man in the Mirror practically invincible inside the mirror, as it will be the only Stand present. However, Illuso can be tricked into letting a disguised Stand enter the mirror world.

For his part, Illuso is also free to enter or exit the mirror world and also select parts of him. However, he must do so through a reflective surface. If he leaves, those still in the mirror world will be trapped.

In the mirror world, everything (even people dragged into it) is a mirror image of itself and it is devoid of any lifeform. The reverse images are said to be made of spiritual energy.The mirror world is effectively isolated from the real world, and prisoners of the mirror cannot be seen nor heard at all. Any action in the actual world is "reflected" in the mirror and occurs for seemingly no reason. Conversely, only Man in the Mirror can affect objects inside the mirror world, explained as the objects "belonging to a realm of death".

If Illuso dies, the mirror world is destroyed and its prisoners will be freed.

Other weapons
 * Punching:To deal actual damage, Man in the Mirror can punch people. Although its punches are far from being strong by JoJo standard (according to Araki's stats its strength is equal to an average human), it is still able to send Fugo, a teenager with average to above average built, flying several steps backwards with a single punch (However it is later beaten up by Moody Blue, a humanoid stand with little-to-none feats in strength whose strength is average human at best).
 * Glass shards:Illuso uses razor-sharp glass shards to slash his trapped victims.

"Di Molto !"

- Melone's catch phrase

Melone is a foot fetishist, pervert and member of La Squadra Esecuzioni. After Team Bucciarati's is forced to take the road, he attempts to kidnap Trish Una and uses his remote Stand, Baby Face, to battle Giorno Giovanna. Although Babyface nearly massacred the team, it was eventually defeated by Bucciarati's team with fire. Then Giorno turned the remains of babyface into a venomous snake, which crept back to Melone and bit him, resulting in the foot fetishist's death.

Stand: Baby Face "Madame, of the following sexual positions, which one do you like best ?"

- Melone to the targeted lady, when "generating" babyface

Baby Face's base entity is an automatic computer-shaped Stand with little combat ability, thus isn't suited for direct confrontation. Its strength resides in its ability to create secondary Stands for Melone to sic on a target. It is laborious to set up, but inherently very safe as a trade-off.

Through its computer Stand, Baby Face has the ability to generate a secondary Stand that will fight in its place. By researching a suitable subject through the pseudoscience of examining a woman's characteristics ranging from one's age or health to their blood type, personality or their horoscope, Melone gathers information and predicts the future homunculus' predispositions. If the data predicts a strong child who is "incompatible" with Melone's target, Melone unleashes Baby Face on the woman and impregnates her with Baby Face's child through undisclosed means.

The development is fast, taking three minutes for a fertilized egg to fully develop into a new homunculus that then appears near the host.

Moreover, if Melone possesses a sample of his target's blood, he can incorporate it into the homunculus so that it automatically feels the target's location and can track them. Stated below are the specific functions of the stand's two parts.
 * Computer form: The computer part Baby Face is not only responsible for the Homunculus Generation power, but is also used like a regular computer, capable of holding and interacting with the data gathered by Melone.The computer Stand also maintains contact with the homunculus, as if Melone was having an online discussion with the homunculus' spirit. A webcam and microphone allows Melone to show the homunculus images and converse with it orally. It also monitors the homunculus' status, allowing Melone to watch its growth.


 * Homunculus form:The secondary Stand or homunculus that Baby Face creates is an independent, long range and power-type Stand that acts as a surrogate fighter for Melone. It is powerful by default, can develop further depending on the progenitor, and its demise doesn't affect Melone, making it useful as a proxy assassin.On the other hand, because of its independence, it can disobey its creator but is also a hassle to create and educate. As a unique mix of human and Stand, the homunculus can be seen by anyone.Unfortunately for it, the homunculus is also vulnerable to mundane things most Stands are immune to like burning. Upon birth, the secondary Stand is capable of breaking matter apart into cubes while keeping lifeforms alive.To do so, The homunculus creates a square-shaped vacuum that forcefully divides anything it touches into cubes, or simply extracts a singular cubic part of the target.Upon dicing something, Baby Face is capable of rearranging and reconstituting the structure of said objects into anything it desires (Baby Face cubed and transformed Trish into a table), and can even apply its powers to itself, reproducing the appearance of anything and blending in with the environment.The homunculus can thus hide inside an object and go into any adjacent object to evade attacks.Although cubed people typically stay alive despite their condition, this can also be used as an attack by removing key parts of the body like the throat.

The homunculus can dice people then absorb the cubes for nourishment.

Although started as a small baby able to hide inside someone's hair,over a short period of time, it will grow both physically and mentally into a fully aged adult.Aside from developing physically, it will grow as a Stand itself. While most autonomous Stands, such as Killer Queen's Sheer Heart Attack, lack precision or the ability to allow their users a sense of awareness to their current condition and status, Baby Face is able to assimilate information witnessed or heard. Through that learning and Melone's counsel,the Stand will become more powerful and efficient in combat. It can also acquire other skills separate from fighting such as driving a motorcycle.On the other hand, it is free-spirited and may go berserk and disobedient if Melone cannot rein it in. For better or for worse, the Stand will then follow its instinct alone when battling an enemy.

For the purpose of this battle Melone will start out in the process of teaching his Babyface Homunculus created from a random lady and Pucci's blood.


 * -|The Duo=

"We don't need to say "I'll kill you"... because by the moment those words come into our minds... our target's already dead and the deed's done!"

- Prosciutto

"Before Big Brother's life leaves his body... I'll make you pay before his very eyes!"

- Pesci, after his evolution

Prosciutto & Pesci are a duo of stand users that attack the heroes on the train to Florence (between Illuso's ambush and Melone's attack). Prosciutto is the leader of the duo, always guiding, encouraging and mentoring his partner Pesci, who is not very determined, easily startled and immature, despite having a deadly stand. Pesci respects Prosciutto and addresses him as "big brother".The duo's attacks were initially successful, turning everyone old and nearly killed the entire gang, however Bucciarati figured out how Grateful Dead works and was able to fight back. An epic fight ensued, in which Prosciutto and Bucciarati struggled to take down each other. In the end, Prosciutto was knocked into near coma, but he managed to let his stand continue functioning till his death by using his strong will, which moved Pesci, making his partner matured. Another epic fight between Pesci and Bucciarati ensued, resulting in Bucciarati narrowly winning, leaving the stand duo dead on the train.

 * The Grateful Dead:This stand appears as a semi-humanoid figure with several tentacles as arms and many eerie-looking eyes on its body.The Grateful Dead has the ability to cause organisms to age physically and mentally at an accelerated rate. There are two ways The Grateful Dead can deploy its power. The first mode is to spread the aging over a mid-to-large area (the entire train) and indiscriminately attack friends and foes, which is dangerous for Prosciutto's companions. The second mode is to direct its power precisely by grabbing someone, in which case the aging is faster than one can react.The activation of this ability manifests itself as mist spreading from The Grateful Dead although it is unknown if the mist is directly connected to the aging.

When under the effect of The Grateful Dead, people age rapidly with all the effects it implies: their skin develop wrinkles, their teeth begin to fall, the tips of the limbs begin to necrose, the bones and joints shrink, and their cognitive ability is reduced. Infants would succumb to the effect of "aging", with their skin wrinkling and hair falling out, rather than simply growing into an adult quickly. Even fruits and flower wither and dry up.Enemy Stands are also weakened. Their power and stamina are sapped and even a powerful close range Stand like Sticky Fingers can become slower than the rather slow The Grateful Dead. Prosciutto is normally immune to The Grateful Dead and can stay young inside its range. However, he can freely toggle the aging on himself, notably fooling Mista into thinking he's a mere civilian.The rate at which people age is dependent on their body heat. The warmer one's body is, the faster they age. Because of minute differences between men and women's body, women also age more slowly.Thus things warming the body like intense physical activity will accelerate the aging but exposure to cold, like ingesting ice, will counter and reverse The Grateful Dead's power immediately,although both effects balance themselves and insufficient coldness will not have an effect.

Aside from its features, it can also punch things, Example being it punched an iron cupboard apart and traded blows with Sticky Fingers.


 * Beach Boy:Despite its innocuous appearance, Beach Boy is a remarkably deadly Stand, both at long range and at short range.Not only can it kill someone by shredding their heart with its intangible hook, it is nearly impossible to defend against. Pesci's masterful manipulation made Bucciarati deem it even more dangerous than Prosciutto's already formidable The Grateful Dead.Its signature ability is to phase its line and hook through any object, including walls or flesh. Pesci skillfully uses his fishing rod to search for a target through obstacles and like a fisherman, ensnares them when the hook makes contact. He is then free to reel in his catch or even tear through the whole body by wildly moving the hook,but as an assassin prefers to phase the hook through his catch's body in order to reach a vital organ and cut it from the inside for a sure-fire kill. Beach Boy's pulling strength is only as strong as Pesci's own arm strength, but the catch will tire themselves trying to pull on the extremely elastic line.

However, the ability is cancelled immediately if Pesci drops the Beach Boy, and the hook and line disappear, called back to the fishing rod.

By hiding the hook inside a chosen object, Pesci can use Beach Boy to bait and catch people by surprise.

Apart from conventional attacks, Beach Boy's line is extremely sensible and transmits information to the handle of the rod for Pesci to see.

The hook and line of Beach Boy act as very sensible life form sensors, being able to tell Pesci the number of people inside a given room and can even transmit the vibration of a heartbeat.Furthermore, by analyzing the vibrations and strength of the pull on the line,Pesci can accurately guess which body part he is hooking, the catch's weight, their position and their actions to the centimeter.

Yet another deadly feature of Beach boy is that Beach Boy's string cannot be destroyed by any usual means, as any damage inflicted to the string will instead affect the one hooked on the string. It is thus impossible to destroy the string once it is hooked into an object or person. This property is a derivation of the line's intangibility: although it will phase through any object, the shock of any attack is transmitted into the catch's body.

Other Ability
 * High Pain Tolerance and Peak-human Durability (Prosciutto):Prosciutto demonstrated high level of pain tolerance and durability during his fight with the protagonists.Not only did he survive a fall from a high-speed train, but also he managed to continue activating his stand and remain calm when stuck between moving wheels and the train's bottom (not to mention he has already had a broken arm, a twisted leg, and lots of broken bones by this point).
