Cheap Trick

Cheap Trick (チープ・トリック) is originally the Stand of Masazo Kinoto and temporarily of Rohan Kishibe featured in Part IV: Diamond is Unbreakable.

Appearance/Personality
Cheap Trick is a Stand bound to its user's back. It resembles a humanoid frog with mechanical features and suction cup fingers allowing it to cling to someone's back. It has lazy, semi-closed eyes, and a kind of mechanical apparatus strapped to its chin. Its personality is vicious and sadistic, using any possible tactics from taunting its target to predicting their death. Cheap Trick is visible to others while clinging to its current user's back, and if anyone else sees it the user will be killed and the Stand will transfer itself to its new target.

Synopsis
Cheap Trick was the Stand of architect Masazo Kinoto. Created when Yoshihiro Kira hit Kinoto with an Arrow, it was dispatched to kill Rohan Kishibe and destroy the photos Rohan had taken in the search for Yoshikage Kira's new identity. Kinoto was unaware of the Stand's presence, but felt instinctively that he needed to hide his back and managed to reach Rohan's house that way. After Kinoto's death, Cheap Trick attaches itself to Rohan and tries to trick people into looking at Rohan's back.

After much struggle, Rohan manages to take a path to Reimi's alley. There, he willingly shows his back to Koichi Hirose, but when Cheap Trick tries to attach itself to Koichi, it finds itself facing backwards into the alley. It is torn off his back by ghostly hands and dragged into the afterlife. As this happens, Rohan uses Heaven's Door to command Cheap Trick to go to Hell (although whether or not Hell exists is unknown even to Rohan himself).

Abilities

 * Attachment: If anyone looks at the user's back, Cheap Trick detaches from the user, killing them in the process. It then attaches to whoever looked at the original user's back, and the process repeats. Cheap Trick is then officially the Stand of the new user, even if the individual already has a stand. This also prevents the individual from attacking it, since attacking Cheap Trick is the same as attacking themselves. Cheap Trick can not be removed from their back, since its Stand power enables it to be held there. Forceful removal would simply rip the user's back off. Previous users are reduced to a dried-up doll-sized version of themselves as a result of Cheap Trick sucking their life force out upon detachment.


 * Talking: Cheap Trick is unique in that it does not follow its user's will. It can speak to its user and to other individuals. Cheap Trick can even be heard by non-Stand users and animals. It describes "talking" as its main ability, using it to disorient others people and even call others to look at its user's back.

Trivia

 * According to JOJOVELLER, its concept is based on Onbu Obake.
