![]() ![]() Unlike Echoes' first two forms, ACT3 has a much shorter effective range but is extremely fast and noted to be stronger, though it's still no match in direct combat against even Stands like Killer Queen. Since it also has a long range (and Koichi can likely see through its eyes), as well as newfound speed, ACT2 is also used as a scouting ability. Foreshadowing the speed of ACT3, ACT2 also gains a massive increase in speed - fast enough to give the impression of disappearing into the air. Īlthough ACT2 is still physically weak, it now possesses a stronger and more versatile power than its previous form, making it more suited to direct confrontation. However, it has the longest range of all ACTs and can go up to about 50 meters from its user, and it's suggested that either Koichi can see through ACT1's eyes, or it can report back to him, making it useful as a scouting ability. It is very weak, its punch failing to hurt Tamami, and also slow. In ACT1 form, Echoes is a long-range Stand. The egg eventually hatches, revealing ACT1, and then is never seen again - though it is unknown whether he could potentially summon it at will like the stand's ACTs. It is immobile and cannot do anything, other than being summoned or withdrawn (though it has enough weight to it that Koichi considered using it as a weapon ). Koichi can still call upon previous ACTs after a new one is unlocked, though is not shown to be able to use multiple at a time, and it likely has to transform first.Įchoes makes its first appearance during the battle against Keicho, though as an egg, that is slowly hatching. Each of these distinct forms is referred to as an ACT. While it is common for Stands' abilities to grow stronger as their users do, Echoes gains entire new forms with distinct abilities and characteristics, usually during monumental events Koichi experiences. It starts off weak (reflecting its user), but as Koichi's fighting spirit evolves, it evolves with him. Koichi's Stand has the uncommon ability to undergo metamorphosis and evolve naturally, becoming stronger as its user grows as a person. In the original manga, its speech is often written in katakana to underline a mechanical tone. However, he has a tendency to suddenly curse in English, in a manner seemingly inspired by rap music. ![]() ACT3 speaks politely when talking to Koichi, following his orders and referring to him as Master. Koichi develops Echoes ACT3 during his confrontation against Sheer Heart Attack when ACT2 proves too weak to battle the Stand.ĪCT3 is now fully sentient and able to communicate with its master. They obey its master's commands and sometimes let out a small growl. Echoes ACT3, Chapter 437: Let Me Remind YouĪCTs 1 through 2 don't possess a full-fledged personality. Its tail is now vestigial, a single long spike protruding from its behind. ACT3 now possesses a cloth wrapped around its waist similar to shorts with the number 3 printed on the front and keeps ACT2's boots. Its body is covered in multiple striped protrusions mimicking human muscles and several of them form a crest at the top of the head, which also has two X-shaped holes on its sides. It still has a long organic tail with a dark underside and bright back, now equipped with a detachable kunai-like stinger.Įchoes ACT3 takes on a completely humanoid form but still retains features from its previous ACTs, giving it an almost robot-like appearance. ACT2's oversized head has a now revealed face with metallic striped eyes, nose and a small robotic mouth. It is fully clad in a shell-like armor decorated with metallic striped protrusions at the crotch and other places, the most prominent piece being a large high collar fused with shoulder weights with "S2" written on it's rear covering the back of the head and the shoulders. It takes on a more humanoid appearance but is much smaller than ACT1. The third section is equipped with a set of small wheels and a large serpentine tail with a dark underside and a clearer back covered in swirling spots and at whose end is a metallic rattle.Įchoes ACT2 is a developed form of Echoes ACT1, gained during the battle against Yukako. The second section is a shelled torso with a dark belly. The head is covered with a shell on top of which a spike is visible, and the face is nearly entirely covered by metallic blinkers, only leaving a small beak visible. Its oversized first section serves as a head and two small shelled arms are attached to it. Echoes first appears as a large egg whose bottom is covered in swirling spots.ĪCT1 takes the appearance of a three-section larvae-like creature. ![]()
