{NAME:}

Endless Calamity/Wonder of U

{VERSE:}

Jojo's Bizzare Adventures part 8

{CLASSIFICATION:}

Logic Manipulation, Fate Manipulation, Luck Manipulation, Calamity Energy Generation, Karmic Retribution and Homing Attack

{DESCRIPTION:}

The ability manipulates a "natural law of calamity", which is a form of negative energy independent from the Stand, with it automatic and functions at a long range. The ability can be activated on any person who has looked at the Stand's back while in its human form. While active, targets will experience horrible developments referred to as calamities. Some calamities will be a result of the target's own behavior leading to an unusually detrimental result (i.e. Mitsuba cutting her hand while preparing food) while others take the form of environmental factors that would normally be harmless having an abnormally bad outcome (i.e. Josuke receiving near-lethal wounds from the impact of raindrops, or a light bulb in Mamezuku's vicinity exploding). As a rule, calamities always manifest themselves as some form of harmful collision.

Once Wonder of U has locked onto a target, any attempt to pursue or otherwise harm the user will result in the ability reactivating. The threshold for reactivation is extremely sensitive, as the mere intent to confront the Stand's presumed user was enough for the ability to target and nearly kill Josuke. While pursuit is the Stand's most common trigger, Wonder of U can also attack any person who sees the back of its presumed user, regardless of whether or not they hold the intent to pursue. This was demonstrated by Mamezuku, who showed another prisoner in his holding cell a photograph of the Stand's back, resulting in the latter being mortally wounded. Objects that come in-contact with Wonder of U can be infused with calamity and trigger the ability when touched.

There is a strong correlation between the size of an object and how immediate and severe the injury will be upon impact. For example, while a discarded cigarette striking Josuke's hand resulted in it immediately piercing his palm, colliding with an umbrella stand caused a much more serious wound on Mamezuku's leg, though with a noticeable delay between the collision and appearance of the injury. It seems that for collisions with larger objects, there's a waiting period in which the effects of this impact can be transferred to another person. A bystander was shown to suffer a sudden, fatal neck injury after coming into contact with Josuke's blood within moments of the latter being hit by a car during this Stand's attack. As stated by Mamezuku, the severity of the calamities caused by the hospital director to someone who is not pursuing him seems to function as a form of karma and are influenced by an individual's history. This is demonstrated when a convicted killer who caught a glimpse of Wonder of U's back received a calamity that resulted in a life-threatening wound, while Mamezuku's took the form of relatively harmless things, such as a light bulb bursting and maggots appearing in his uneaten food. This is further expanded upon by Wonder of U, stating that there is a "flow" of things that always results in calamity

{HOW IT WORKS:}

The ability activates by another person trying to 'pursue' the user, be it in any shape or form. This could be literally chasing the user, trying to find out information about the user, etc. In response to the pursuit, Wonder of U manipulates logic, luck and even fate to stop the pursuers. The closer the pursuer the stronger the ability will become.

{POTENCY:}

The ability can happen literally anywhere, anytime, any place. Anywhere across the world the ability could activate. So yeah, basically a omnipresent ability

{DISCLAIMER:}

The ability can only harm one person at a time, so multiple targets could be hard to deal with. Any abilites that can control/manipulate/above fate, logic, and luck would be able to combat or be immune to the ability. But those aren't that common.
