02Appearance
Arabia Fats is a short, overweight man with short, spiky hair and a receding hairline. He has a T-shirt bearing a sun resembling the Rising Sun Flag of Japan. He also sports an unbuttoned coat, cargo pants, and loafers.↗
03Personality
He made sure his hiding spot was comfortable since his Stand dramatically increases the temperature of the environment, giving himself a seat, drinks, and air conditioning. He is also shown to be clever in that he attached a large mirror to a small vehicle to take advantage of the desert's barren landscape. However, this ingenuity was not enough to prevent his defeat as the mirror unfortunately reflected a large rock, exposing him.↗↗
04Abilities
Stand
Arabia Fats's Stand is a great fiery sphere akin to the sun itself, which can heat the surrounding area to dangerous levels, give the impression of daylight, and shoot rays of energy. However, Arabia himself is not immune to his Stand, and he must stay within a certain range of his targets to continue exposing them to its effects.↗
05Story
SPOILERS
Stardust Crusaders (1988)
Arabia Fats was one of the Stand users tasked with defeating the Joestar Group. He followed the group up into the Arabian desert in a kart equipped with an air conditioner. He stayed camouflaged by using a mirror device attached to a kart that reflected the sand's image in the desert, so the group wouldn't notice him.↗
Suffering from the heat produced by Arabia's ability, the group eventually deduce the sun itself to be a Stand. As the temperature continues to increase, the group is holed up strategizing. Noriaki Kakyoin hastily manifests Hierophant Green but the Sun bursts out rays of energy. Jotaro reacts by plunging into the ground with Star Platinum, and giving the group some sort of cave to hide in. Desperation runs high, but suddenly they begin to maniacally laugh.↗↗↗
