Dark Determination

"I'm not wavering anymore."

- Johnny to Gyro, SBR Chapter 59

Dark Determination is a phenomenon, in which the user throws away their morale and humanity to kill or protect a person. The trigger for it depends on the user, but it is normally activated when one is desperate to attain a goal. When activated, the user will also become more ruthless and cold-blooded, using any means necessary to complete their objective. All non-stand users and stand users alike are capable of achieving this form it, though only a few have been fully confirmed to be using it.

Appearance
Dark Determination takes the form of a fiery aura on their eye, which normally resembles fire. Weather Report's version takes the form of thunderous clouds. This is debatable, however, since Weather's Dark Determination isn't yet confirmed to be the ability itself. Generally, the fire isn't the same colour as the eye itself. It's either a lighter or darker tone of the iris. Jolyne's version is a different colour altogether, being in a bright bluish green tone. This is the same for the anime's version of DD.

Ability
Dark Determination seemingly throws away their concept of morale and turns them into cold-blooded fighters. As stated by Gyro, "The user's eyes are the eyes of a killer.". This is because, under its effects, the user will show no hesitation in committing crimes to achieve their goal, if not just outright murder. This makes the ability rather powerful, though it could also get them into trouble. It is unknown if the ability boosts a person's power, though this is highly likely due to anger and rage in JoJo being heavily linked to powering up.

Game Appearances
Dark Determination appears in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle as part of Johnny's HHA, where his stand changes from Tusk Act 2 to Tusk Act 3. It also appears in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven.
