However, Koichi can only call upon one at any given time. Echoes Act 1 can replicate sound effects, such as a train alarm; he can attach these sound effects as written
kana to anything, and if he attaches them to an opponent, he can overwhelm them with sound. Echoes Act 2 also writes out sound effects in
kana, but rather than replicating the noise, it replicates the phenomenon that would create that sound effect (e.g. attaching the word "whoosh" causes a gust of wind to blow by, or "sizzle" will cause something to glow with heat). Acts 1 and 2 are also long range, and Koichi can use either of them as a scout to find a specific target. Echoes Act 3 loses the former abilities and its long range, but gains the ability "3 Freeze", which causes a target to become extremely heavy to the point that it is incapable of moving.

His Stand is , which erases whatever space it swipes with its right hand, drawing objects closer to Okuyasu or drawing Okuyasu himself closer to an object. Should he erase the middle of an object, the two remaining halves will snap together (demonstrated when he erases the middle of a sign, causing it to say something different with the middle portion gone).

As Abbacchio hesitated to shoot, his partner leapt in front of a bullet fired by the thief, dying in the process. Labelled a dirty cop, Abbacchio lost his job and fell into a drunken depression until Bucciarati recruited him. His Stand can repeat the past movements of anything or anyone like a 3-D video recording, transforming into that person or thing. While doing so, Moody Blues becomes an easy target for enemies to attack, since it cannot defend itself when it is "rebroadcasting." Once it is out of "rebroadcasting" mode, it can attack again. Abbacchio can also use Moody Blues' transformations to disguise his Stand as a person. When Giorno joins the gang, Abbacchio trusts him the least out of the group and frequently confronts him on his decisions. Abbacchio is later stabbed in the chest by Diavolo after the boss disguised himself as a young soccer player while Abbacchio was using his Stand to recreate the boss's face.

Somehow, through the will of destiny, all of the bullets fired at him had missed, and Mista fired back four shots with pin-point accuracy whilst under fire. Bucciarati arranged for the charges to be dropped, and recruited Mista to his gang. Mista uses a revolver as his weapon of choice in conjunction with his stand, . Sex Pistols is represented by six bullet-shaped humanoids, numbered from #1 through #7 with no #4. Mista controls them by telling them to send the bullet ricocheting in a certain direction. Each of them have distinct personalities; they love to eat, and if not fed, will not work. Sex Pistols has no #4, due to Mista's

Narancia was so overwhelmed with Bucciarati's kindness that he vowed to follow him forever. After joining the gang, he befriends Fugo and looks up to him as a role-model and mentor. His Stand is a toy-like tiny airplane, equipped with machine guns and bombs to attack enemies. It detects expelled

Fugo tends to have an erratic temper, erupting into a violent rage before quickly calming himself down. His Stand is , a humanoid with a violet-and-white diamond pattern skin and a glass gladiator's helmet. Its main form of attack comes from the three capsules on its knuckles, each of which contains a powerful virus that is released when any of the capsules are broken. Once released, the virus will spread and rapidly devour organic matter—a human body will be annihilated in about 30 seconds. However, the virus is destroyed by sunlight. Purple Haze is difficult for Fugo to control in even the best of situations, since it represents everything he hates about himself, which explains its manic behavior about cleanliness and its inability to distinguish friend from foe: Fugo has no immunity to the virus.

Time flows normally for Diavolo in skipped time and he alone may move around objects in erased time (visually represented as Diavolo and the object superimposed on each other, in a fashion akin to
Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2). For example, this stops Risotto Nero from killing Diavolo when he takes control of Aerosmith in a last ditch-effort to take Diavolo with him, since he uses the time skip to move out of the way of the hail of bullets. King Crimson has a secondary ability called that exists as a second face on King Crimson's forehead and can be used to predict 10 seconds into the future. This method allows him to see within the erased time; any object or individual other than Diavolo must behave according to the prediction. If Epitaph shows him an undesirable outcome, time skip is used to move to a more desired position to counterattack as soon as the time skip ends. If Epitaph shows him an outcome that works in his favor, time skip will allow fate to play out said actions while Diavolo stays hidden.
