Speed King

Speed King belongs to Jobin Higashikata in JoJolion. Its mannequin-like frame carries a face crowded with gritted teeth, eye holes later drawn as goggles, a spiked fisherman's cap, and two large horns, and its body turns skeletal and mechanical below the chest. Painted bright orange and red, its look and expression call to mind Japan's ancient haniwa clay figures. When Jobin first summoned it as a boy, the Stand appeared small and childlike, maturing in step with him.

Its known talent is heat accumulation. The Stand can lock temperature into a narrow point, anywhere from the surface of a banknote to a single spot on a body, and prevent that point from cooling. Since the laws of thermodynamics drive temperatures to equalize, whatever later touches the stored heat receives a sudden, punishing buildup of warmth. The effect only reaches things within about ten centimeters, yet a charged object can be carried far away and still discharge, as when Ojiro Sasame walked from the Higashikata house into downtown Morioh while marked.

Jobin can raise temperatures past 300 degrees, hot enough to free oxygen from sodium chlorate, boil the blood inside a victim's vessels to knock them out or kill them, and burst the eyes when the heat strikes the temples. The Stand is also said to hold further, hidden abilities that Jobin keeps secret even from his own relatives, though what they are is never shown.

Jobin Higashikata, the eldest son of the Higashikata household, is the only user, and like every family Stand its name includes the word King. He deploys it with quiet cruelty, giving Josuke a nosebleed through an offered tissue, melting the wax packed into his beetles, and boiling the blood in Yasuho's head to knock her unconscious.
