Yoshikage Kira and his stand, Killer Queen

“For me, it’s not really about winning or losing. I just want to survive. I want a peaceful life. It’s just that it’s in my nature to kill. I will have my happy life!” Yoshikage Kira lives an average life. He works at a normal job, and has no spectacularly impressive or unimpressive qualities about him. He’s the type of person you could bump into on the street and never think about ever again, and that’s exactly the way he wants to be viewed. However, hidden beneath this facade of normalcy lies the mind of a serial killer. A man who kills for no other reason than his own pleasure. The true Yoshikage Kira is a hand fetishizing murderer who uses his stand, Killer Queen, to make sure his heinous acts are untraceable. Killer Queen is a versatile stand with three different abilities, referred to as its “bombs”. The first bomb, which is nameless, allows Killer Queen to turn any object it touches into a bomb, blowing up whoever touches it. The second bomb is named Sheer Heart Attack, and takes the form of a small tank with a skull on the front. Sheer Heart Attack acts autonomously for Kira, seeking the hottest object in its vicinity and produces a proportionately strong explosion next to it. Finally, Killer Queen’s final bomb, Bites the Dust, only appears after Kira was pierced by the stand arrow a second time and its ability is… complicated. See its section in the RT for details.

Bites the Dust
- Bites the Dust is a bomb planted onto a non stand user (hereafter referred to as the “Trigger”), and activates when the Trigger divulges Kira’s true identity (willingly or not), killing those who hear it (source)
- Once Bites the Dust activates and kills a target, time resets back to an hour before it went off. Only the Trigger is aware of the time loop. (source)
- During the time loops, fate will play out identically to what happened in the original loop, even if the Trigger makes different decisions (source)
- Bites the Dust will prevent the Trigger from harming themselves by manifesting as a small Killer Queen. This manifestation will also activate Bites the Dust if another person sees it. (source)
- Bites the Dust will even block attacks made by Kira, shown here where it blocks a punch from him (source)
- While Bites the Dust is active, Kira is unable to use Killer Queen for any purpose until he deactivates it, which prevents the explosion of any victims if they haven’t happened yet (source)
Stray Cat
- After an encounter with a cat-turned-plant stand user, Yoshikage Kira uses it to his advantage by incorporating it into Killer Queen (source) (For more details, see Stray Cat’s Respect Thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/respectthreads/comments/kghj25/respect_stray_cat_jojos_bizarre_adventure/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)
