Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap – sometimes referred to as D4C (ディー･フォー･シー) – is the Stand of Funny Valentine, the main antagonist of Part VII: Steel Ball Run, as well as the President of the United States of America in the storyline. It is named after the song and album Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap by the Australian rock band AC/DC.

Appearance/Personality


Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap has a humanoid form with large, upright horns that somewhat resemble the ears of a rabbit, a mainly white body and some kind of pink decoration covering it.

Funny Valentine still seems to be exploring this Stand's full potential, but he is very adept with its powers. Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap could very well be among the strongest Stands ever (Next to Enrico Pucci's Stairway to Heaven (Made in Heaven) and Giorno Giovanna's Gold Experience Requiem). It is one of the few humanoid stands in Steel Ball Run, with another example being In a Silent Way, whose user is Soundman.

Powers
Dimension Hopping: Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap allows different parallel worlds/dimensions to co-exist at the same time and/or in the same place. It also allows its user to visit these parallel (near)worlds/dimensions and interact with them. Valentine travels by being between two objects. Liquid materials like water count as objects as well.

He can even pull other people from another dimension to another. However due to no two same person can co-exist in one same dimension, one of them will have to go back into their own dimension if not, if they get too close to each other, both will crumble and will be split into thousands of cubes. This rule does not apply to Funny Valentine as he has D4C. He can forcibly send other people to parallel worlds by pulling them with him, or by forcing them between two objects. Valentine usually performs the latter by closing a door on them, so they are between the wall and the door.

If Funny Valentine gets injured, he can hop into another dimension and take possess of the body of that dimension's Funny Valentine, curing all his wounds. This ability makes him nigh invicible since the only way to truely defeat him is to kill him with one blow. Furthermore, he can summon his alternate selves into his dimension to outnumber his opponents.



D4C - Love Train: An ability given to Valentine from Lucy's Stand. Her body generates a gap in space that sends misfortune elsewhere, leaving only good fortune. Using D4C, Valentine can enter this space, causing any attack aimed at him to be directed at someone else across the globe. This makes Valentine effectively invincible. It apparently allows him to easily travel along the ground, shown when he pursues Johnny and Gyro under the train tracks, and across a grassy field. Due to Lucy's stand's ability, objects continuesly move closer to her, including trees, signs, and even the oceans. These shifts in position seem to favor Valentine.

Besides being invincible to attacks, even a scratch from D4C can become fatal. Any wound starts to rise up the body and eventually reaches a vital spot before dealing damage. A scratch or bite on the finger can became a scratch on the heart.

This ability can only be used a certain distance from Lucy, so if she is moved, then he is forcibly pulled with her. It is mentioned in Ch. 81 that gravity is constant for Valentine when he travels between dimensions. This keeps him from breaking into pieces and being scattered across the different worlds. This means that gravity is a power capable of traveling with Valentine and can affect him inside the gap. This power seems to be utilized by Gyro and Johnny when using the Super Spin.

Trivia

 * Its appearance refers to the term "going down the rabbit hole", from the tale Alice in Wonderland.
 * After Funny Valentine was hit by Gyro's Steel balls his appeareance changed drastically. Strangly enough, when Valentine recovered his youth, D4C keeps his new form.Valentine_hit.JPG
