The horseman must let the horse run with the force of the Golden Rectangle, meaning it must gallop at its most natural speed. The Cavalry Spin, also known as the Super Spin, represents the most faithful emulation of the golden spiral humanly possible.ĭeveloped in the Middle Ages to bypass the shield and armor of mounted knights, stirrups were invented to harness the power of a running horse. Gyro performing the Cavalry Spin Technique Unlike the Steel Balls, the nails possess more metaphysical properties.Ĭavalry Spin See also: Ball Breaker and Tusk ACT4 Johnny Joestar's Stand Tusk, developed with Gyro's mentoring, allows Johnny to spin his fingernails and toenails to act like bullets. Objects that aren't perfectly sphere-shaped do not produce a perfect Spin and are thus subpar compared to the Steel Balls. While the Zeppeli Family uses a grooved version for maximum faithfulness to the Golden Rectangle, others like Wekapipo use special spheres embedded with smaller satellites to spread their zone of attack. Tusk is a Stand linked to the Spin which uses Spin-imbued finger- and toenails.Įxperts in the Spin like Gyro prefer special Steel Balls: steel spheres characteristic of a baseball or boule, which he calls and shows to be something near the perfect tool for applying and maintaining Spin. Examples include corks, bullets water, or typically any object on which there is an axis around which the object can rotate well.
The Spin can be applied to a variety of objects.
Tools See also: Steel Ball, Wrecking Ball, and Tusk Others like the members of Naples' royal guard only use a highly specialized application of the Spin on the human body.
For instance the Zeppeli Family are trained as surgeons to use the Spin on criminals on death row, otherwise, the Spin may only result in a simple enhancement of destructive energy. One must also know the human body extremely well to exploit the effects of the Spin on people to the fullest. Thus, a Spin user must be able to expertly aim and throw objects in order to hope for a result. The Spin must be imbued into a medium that will keep on spinning and must be thrown so the object can transfer the energy through contact. The Spin is deceptively and relatively easy to learn at the basic, as the novice Johnny Joestar manages to produce a conclusive Spin with a cork within a day of learning about the power's existence however, it is extremely difficult to master. Used as a scale, the Golden Rectangle allows the creation of a perfect rotation and thus an infinite amount of energy. To enhance the Spin, one must approach the Golden Rectangle, a rectangle with a proportion equal to the golden ratio (approximately 16:9) that when recursively divided into a square and another golden rectangle, traces the path of the Golden Spiral a self-similar and thus endless spiral. One advice given to neophytes is to visualize the perfect rotation and then trying to emulate it. To do so, they apply a small force causing the object to Spin near perfectly, giving it an impulse of energy to start the rotation, and then let the rotation perpetuate itself. Users of the Spin typically try to spin objects to follow as best they can the Golden Rectangle, creating a near endless rotation that may then create an infinite amount of rotational energy, before throwing said objects at a target.
All characters who know the Spin are either Neapolitan or have been taught by a Neapolitan.īecause of its miraculous property, the Spin has been wielded as a technique by a chosen few at least since the Middle Ages from which several specialized skills have been derived. It is intensively used there either for medicine or for battle. The Spin is a specialty of the Kingdom of Naples. That rotational energy is transferred to nearby objects in the form of vibrations and can be wielded for a wide array of purposes. Unlike the average rotation, the Spin is persistent and produces more rotational energy than it takes to create. The Spin is a state of rotation defined by its closeness to perfection, that perfection being the Golden Rectangle ( 黄金長方形, Ōgon Chōhōkei), more specifically the Golden Spiral that is derived from the Rectangle, a mathematically endless spiral, and a feature said to be omnipresent in the surrounding nature and a fortiori in works of art.
