02Appearance
While in his car, ZZ has an intimidating aura, revealing only his muscular arms from his car's windows. However, to everybody's surprise, this is only for show. He has a tall head with a sharp jawline, prominent cheekbones, large ears, and hair that points upwards on each side like horns. He wears wristbands, a tight-fitting tank top with his stomach exposed, ragged jeans with a belt too large for him, and shoes without socks.↗
03Personality
ZZ, initially a silent enemy, ominously rides around the Joestar Group and tricks them into a number of near-accidents. He seems to be a dangerous, intelligent foe, and with only his arms reaching out of the car, he could also seem physically imposing. However, ZZ is simply an arrogant and cowardly Stand user. He taunts the group and claims that they have no hope or future on their journey. He even declares that Part 3 has ended after seemingly killing Jotaro Kujo.↗↗↗↗↗↗
Without his Stand, ZZ is merely a coward who begs for mercy. To cover up, he relies on bluffs such as his muscular arms and his Stand's modifications to his car to seem more intimidating than he actually is. He admits that he only chased the group for money, with no real loyalty to DIO.↗↗
04Abilities
Stand
ZZ's Wheel of Fortune can enhance a car into an upgraded and monstrous version of itself, allowing normally impossible driving feats and in general having full control of the car's pieces.↗
05Story
SPOILERS
Stardust Crusaders (1988)
ZZ is first seen driving his car slowly along the road to Pakistan. Jean Pierre Polnareff, driving the group's jeep, rudely passes the car and kicks up some rocks with the jeep on purpose to taunt the slow driver, but the group soon realize that they are being followed by his car.↗↗
The group stops for some rest and spots ZZ's car again, which they then give chase. Soon, Noriaki Kakyoin realizes that the group is headed the wrong way and Polnareff stops the jeep abruptly at the end of a closed road. ZZ then appears from behind and pushes the group's jeep off the cliff. Kakyoin's Hierophant Green, however, manages to hook the jeep's harness onto ZZ's car, stopping their fall.↗↗
However, ZZ is revealed to have survived and reveals to the group that he was using a Stand, called Wheel of Fortune and his knowledge of Joseph Joestar 's name. He then bursts out of the ground in his car, smashes the jeep, and transforms his car into a more aggressive style. He charges at the group and fires gasoline bullets at them through his car, while effortlessly squeezing between crevices and causing spikes to grow out of the wheels to enable it to climb the cliff.↗↗↗↗
