They’re goofy-looking, but also kinda cute, and hilariously fussy, landing somewhere between being Mista’s employees and his children. These things guide the bullets to where they need to go and cheer as they do. Sex Pistols is actually a group of small and somewhat autonomous Stands that act when Mista, one of the protagonists of Golden Wind, fires his revolver. It also has the ability to control the shape of the air around it, but it continues to act like a normal cat, which makes it a hostile and dangerous foe indeed. As a weird… carnivorous plant thing, Stray Cat has leaves that operate as arms, petals acting like ears, and so on. This Stand was activated after the death of Tama, a street cat that was hit by the Stand Arrow (a magic arrow which activates Stand powers in those pierced by it). Though a number of animals have wielded Stands throughout JoJo - including the French Bulldog Iggy and the sinister eagle Pet Shop - Stray Cat lands on the more disturbing side. The visuals already make for an entertaining foe, but then the show goes a step further by having the one controlling the Stand be the “evil genius baby” named Mannish Boy. Jotaro and the gang are ensnared in their dreams by the childish and sadistic Death 13 - with its appearance landing somewhere between clown and Grim Reaper (that constantly yells “lali-ho!”). With those words Death 13 became one of JoJo’s all-time most outrageous Stands, combining some uncanny Freddy Krueger-esque terror with the kind of sublime ridiculousness that made Part 3: Stardust Crusaders so fun to watch.
