Bohemian Rhapsody



Bohemian Rhapsody (自由人の狂想曲 or ボヘミアン・ラプソディー) is a stand power featured in Part VI: Stone Ocean. Its user is Ungaro and it is named for the song Bohemian Rhapsody by British rock band Queen.

Ability
Bohemian Rhapsody is able to bring fictional characters into reality through printed fictional media containing pictures of those characters. Cartoon characters, anime characters, and even works of art and drawings are affected. The characters are still made of the same material they came from, and thus cannot easily be destroyed: the mother goat from a book simply folded into paper when punched. (Interestingly, Pinocchio still broke and spouted blood when Anasui punched him and did not return to the media after he was destroyed, though this could simply be taken as the initial effects of the stand in its developmental stages.)

When one meets a character he or she likes, he or she is dragged into the character's role and the fate of the character will be the fate of the victim. Running away and using barriers is useless, as the story will proceed as is originally described and any such obstacles will simply turn into paper that enables the characters to walk through. Characters can even chase the victim through storybook pages that appear on flat surfaces.

The stand draws power from the original artist's creativity and passion put into the animation, and thus its range is infinite. One may be immune to this ability if they have no knowledge of the story or character, but this is difficult due to the number of characters brought to life, as well as the character's ability to act even based on subconscious recognition and drag even unwilling victims like Narciso Anasui into the role of the wolf in the Mother Goat and her Seven Kids. The only weakness is that there is no physical stand to protect the user, but the large range allows him to attack from across the world, and at the same time there is no physical stand through which the user can be harmed. The countries most heavily affected by the stand were stated to have been the U.S., Japan, Italy, and France while the stand was active.

Trivia

 * Bohemian Rhapsody is the second stand in Part VI to have entirely unknown stats (after the Green Baby's stand) and the first stand since Part III to have stats that aren't listed (although stats aren't exactly relevant to this stand in the first place).
 * Ungaro can be anywhere when Bohemian Rhapsody is being used as his stand has infinite range by nature. Only stands that can manipulate time on a cosmic scale such as The World, King Crimson and Stairway to Heaven (Made in Heaven) should be able to outrange it in effects.
 * The arc in which Bohemian Rhapsody debuted seems to follow the same structure as the song it was based off of.
