THE Hustle

Character

THE Hustle is the Stand of Paco Lovelantes in The JOJOLands, an integrated power woven directly into his body with no known outward form. It reshapes his muscles so they can grip with odd body parts, act as armor, and send out vibrations sharp enough to cut through a binding string.

Mechanics

Under THE Hustle, Paco's muscles swell and gain the ability to grip using unlikely parts of his body, such as the backs of his hands or his elbows, so he can lift something like a wallet without ever bending his fingers. Jodio notes he can flex the muscles into a kind of armor, stopping a mosquito from piercing his skin, and he can trap an opponent's limbs within his own bulk. The heightened muscle also lends him agility, letting him hang from a ceiling vent by the power of his back alone.

The Stand further lets Paco send vibrations rippling through his muscles. He used this to break out of a string-based Stand's hold, slipping a scissor blade between the threads and shaking his leg muscles to drive the blade upward until the strands snapped.
