Nut King Call (ナット・キング・コール Natto Kingu Kōru) is the Stand of Joshu Higashikata, featured in JoJolion.
Appearance[]
Nut King Call is a humanoid Stand similar in height to Joshu. It has screws embedded both in the sides of its head and its spindly arms; two shield-shaped eyes similar to a bug's, and a ruff collar of sorts composed of many nuts and bolts. On its forehead rests a large V. Its face and arms are also textured with slight ridges. Its torso is covered in a tessellated triangle motif similar to Caesar's headband or Jotaro's belt.
Nut King Call is purple and white in the colored manga and Eyes of Heaven.
Abilities[]
Nut King Call can perform a stand rush, as seen with Joshu's attempt to halt Toru's exchange with Yasuho.
Nuts and Bolts[]
By planting nuts and bolts in a target, Nut King Call creates functional artificial joints. When a nut is removed from a bolt, which may be done almost instantly, the object breaks up and is disassembled. When applied to humans, the process of dismantling body parts appears painless[1]. These separations seem to undo themselves when a target is out of range, as seen when a thug accosting Joshu finds his hands reattached (albeit incorrectly) when Joshu flees[2].
Nut King Call may also fasten together whatever objects are between a nut and a connecting bolt. This is first demonstrated when Joshu dispatches of a bar owner and his men by forcibly affixing parts of their bodies together and escaping as they stumbled around[3]. Later, he does the same to a bottle that Zaihei Nigatake was drinking from and the cursed money generated from Milagro Man[4].
Nut King Call can even detach its own user's body parts, such as a tongue. When this happens, it is shown that Joshu still has control and feeling over the detached body part[5].
