Wall Eyes

The Wall Eyes (壁の目) are a geographic phenomenon featured in Part VIII: JoJolion.

They appeared the night after an earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011 shook Morioh; springing from the ground several hundred meters inland, around the town.

Characteristics
The nomenclature of the Wall Eyes was invented by schoolchildren, sticking then with the remainder of the townspeople.

The Wall Eyes stand at an average height of 1-3 meters and a width of 5-8 meters. The "eyes" are located on top of these large protuberances, at 15 meters from the ground. The Walls span across 10 km intervals, isolating Morioh from the outside. They prevent highways, waterways, power and gas lines from passing through their boundaries. They litter the coastline, all facing towards the sea, "as if waiting in silence to protect against some calamity from the ocean".

News reports focus on the disturbing nature of the Walls, offering no explanation to their origin or meaning. Researchers make reference to faultlines, but cannot relate them to any previous phenomena.

Effects
The Wall Eyes seem to induce Stand abilities in some of those near them. A Wall Eye fault was located at Ojirou Sasame's childhood home, and he later developed Fun, Fun, Fun; as a child, Daiya Higashikata fell into a fault where the Wall Eyes later formed, and though she became progressively blinder, she eventually gained a Stand. Josuke Higashikata, Joshu Higashikata, and Yasuho Hirose have all received deep, human-like bite marks on their bodies since being near the Wall Eyes, all three having eventually unlocked their Stands.

Furthermore, objects buried near the Wall Eyes - and even people - may be combined, or have parts swapped between them. Kyo Nijimura demonstrated this by burying an orange and a lemon together, then digging them up and cutting them open to reveal that some sections of each had swapped with sections in the other fruit. This is not always an equal exchange, however, and does not always exchange complete parts; for example, Josuke was found to have four testicles, while the corpse of Yoshikage Kira was missing his, and Josuke's eyes and tongue have a visible vertical seam where one half of each of Kira's eyes and tongue swapped with those of the other person buried at the Wall Eyes.
