Overview

Draped in a ragged pink cloak, this Stand suggests the outline of a shoebill, complete with a pair of round discs set on either side of its head. The mantle hides most of its frame, leaving only two arms marked by the same stitched pattern in view. Colored artwork gives it a purple hue. Araki based the design on traditional African art as well as the cuckoo bird that pops from a clock at noon, a fitting nod to the timepieces its bombs carry.

Mechanics

Oyecomova can lodge miniature explosives into practically anything he makes contact with. Each charge looks like a small pin capped by a clock, and it fastens to any surface at all, not just solids: his own skin, other people, water, animals, soil, and even a wisp of cigarette smoke have all held them. There is no limit to how many he plants, once demonstrated by tagging every wasp in an entire swarm.

After a short delay the touchy pins leap into the air and detonate with tremendous force, a mere pair of them enough to gut a building. The single way to stop one is to keep it from springing, but pinning it down by hand cripples a fighter, and the sweat of battle eventually lets it slip free anyway. The power also makes Oyecomova almost impossible to seize, since grabbing or striking him leaves the attacker studded with live charges.
