Character: killer queen (jjba)

post #1124494 post #2230372

Killer Queen is the stand of Yoshikage Kira, the main antagonist of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 4: Diamond is Unbreakable.

Killer Queen is a close-range power type artificial humanoid stand that resembles and robotic anthropomorphic pink cat. It has a similarly muscular build to that of Yoshikage Kira himself. It wears black studded leather fingerless gloves, a garter belt, and sandals. On its shoulders, belt buckle, gloves, and shoes is a gold emblem that resembles a cross between a cat face and a human skull. Much like its own design.

Killer Queen is one of the most powerful stands in the entire series. It boasts above average strength and speed but not durability, and it is nowhere as powerful as some of the other direct combat stands like Star Platinum and Crazy Diamond. The true danger of Killer Queen is its special ability: Primary Bomb: Bomb Transmutation. Any object that Killer Queen touches with its index finger becomes an incendiary bomb. It can then clench its opposite hand into a fist and push down with its thumb on the phalanx of its index finger, as though triggering a C-4 detonator, causing the object to explode on an atomic level, leaving no trace. The Bombs created this fashion can also be made into contact bombs that explode when enough pressure is applied to them, thermal bombs that explode when they come into contact with high enough temperature, or charge bombs that only explode when detonated. If a person touches and object that has been transmuted, they themselves become the bomb. The subsequent detonation travels through the entire body of the victim before exploding. All of the bombs created by Kira abide by stand rules, they cannot be seen or heard by non-stand user. Nor can the explosions be heard by stand users, making it extremely deadly for assassinations.

But wait there's more! Killer Queen possesses a secondary stand in the form of its Secondary Bomb: Sheer Heart Attack. Sheer Heart Attack is a small blue tank that is stored in Killer Queen's left hand. It is completely indestructible and automatically begins moving towards the hottest object in the room. By using Bomb Transmutation to turn the tank into a Thermal Bomb, Sheer Heart Attack becomes an unstoppable force of destruction. Its weakness however is that it is a long-range automatic stand, that relies on the simple temperature algorithm to identify and prioritize targets.

Spoilers for the End of Part 4

"Killer Queen Bomb #3 Bites the Dust!"

post #2389325

After being pierced a second time by the stand arrow after accidentally killing Hayato Kawajiri, Killer Queen evolves a third stand ability: Tertiary Bomb: Bites the Dust. Bites the Dust was born from Kira's desperation as he realized he was being cornered and wanted to preserve his quiet life.

The stand appears to be a miniature version of Killer Queen, but with red eyes.

In order for Kira to use this stand, several conditions must first be met:
# Kira must touch the victim with his right hand.
# The victim must know Kira's secret identity and the truth that he is a serial killer.
# Kira must be cornered and emotionally desperate in the same fashion when he originally obtained Bites the Dust.
# Kira must give up his stand Killer Queen completely. (He can choose to recall his stand to defend himself from Bites the Dust's current host).

If all these conditions are met, the victim becomes an infohazardous landmine. If the victim reveals any information about Kira's to anyone, be it intentionally, unintentionally, audibly, or through writing, Bites the Dust will appear before the person who learned Kira's secrets. If you can see Bites the Dust, that means it is already in your eye and you are as good as dead. It will then detonate itself inside the victim, killing them in a similar fashion to its normal bomb transmutation ability. However, the true horror of Bites the Dust is revealed only after it is triggered. Bites the Dust will rewind time by one hour. During which all events that occurred in the previous timeline will be fated to occur once again. This includes the person who learned about Kira in the previous timeline dying at the hands of Bites the Dust, even if the current host does not interact with them at all during that loop.

Killer Queen only has 2 major weaknesses. The first is that it can only make one bomb at a time. Because of this, it struggles to deal with multiple enemies simultaneously. Its second weakness is if Killer Queen's opponent can prevent its bombs from detonating. Because all its bombs are technically incendiary, placing the bomb in an air vacuum with no oxygen will prevent detonation. Moreover, physically breaking/cutting off Kira's hand will prevent him from being able to press the "detonator", disabling his charge bombs. Not really a weakness per se, but while powerful in hand to hand combat, especially against non-close-ranged power-type stands, most other stands with specifically combat based abilities easily outclass it.

Killer Queen and Yoshikage Kira both appear in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 8: JOJOLION.

Killer Queen is named after the Queen Song off their album Sheer Heart Attack.
