In a Silent Way

In a Silent Way (イン・ア・サイレント・ウェイ) is the Stand of Sandman, featured in Part VII: Steel Ball Run.

Appearance
In a Silent Way is a humanoid Stand, decorated in an assortment of references to art of the indigenous peoples of the Americas, including a war bonnet and a head/face resembling the Mosaic mask of Tezcatlipoca. Its arms and torso bear small, evenly spaced studs/bumps, and it wears two columns of two or three roses on its chest.

Abilities
Sound Construct: Sandman is able to manipulate and store sounds in objects, or make them into three-dimensional kana. When a stored sound makes contact with another object or individual, it is released as a hazard characteristic of that sound (e.g. "burning", "cutting", "stabbing").

The best way to attack proves to be through water, sound travelling faster in water than in air. In the deadliest aspect of this ability, Soundman may stealthily utilize sounds not humanly perceptible.

Sound Shield: In a defensive expression of the Stand's primary ability, Soundman swings his knife, storing the "whooshing" sound generated; its kanji capable of deflecting oncoming projectiles.

Team Attack: In conjunction with Diego Brando's Scary Monster, kana can even be turned into dinosaurs; tracking targets while carrying a destructive sound.

Trivia

 * This Stand's ability is very similar to that of Koichi Hirose's Stand, Echoes ACT 1 and ACT 2.
