For instance, one shot is able to blast away a large zone on impact. Thus, when he shoots the fingernails, they possess a drilling property, which dramatically increases the power of the shots.
When Johnny activates Tusk, the fingernails now rotate around his fingers like axes. Once Johnny learns to imbue his fingernails with the Spin, in accordance with the Golden Rectangle, it greatly enhances the basic properties of his shots. It allows Johnny to fare better in combat but limits the number of nails at his disposition.

With an enhanced destructive power and new properties to its nail bullets, Tusk ACT2 is a direct upgrade to ACT1. Tusk ACT2 is primarily pink in all media featuring it. Araki added some elements to make it unclear whether it's animal or machine, like a traditional Stand. A barrel-like unit the size of its head is suspended at the base of a short, flat spine. From its head hang two barrel-shaped objects.
Mechanically, ACT2 possesses small, sturdy torso and arms, greater in proportion to its head. Tusk ACT2 is the first evolved form of Tusk, accessed when Johnny makes progress in the technique of the Spin and uses the Golden Rectangle. Manga Debut: SBR Chapter 43, Silent Way (4) Tusk ACT1 first appears to Johnny later during the second stage to inform him of the location of the Saint's Corpse's Eyes and briefly help him against Wired, spinning his toenails and allowing Johnny to deduce the true nature of the Steel Ball Run. Later against the Boom Boom Family, Johnny awakened his Stand Tusk, which enabled him to defeat Benjamin Boom Boom and L. Synopsisĭuring the second stage of the Steel Ball Run, Johnny and Gyro traversed a Devil's Palm without knowing it and the Corpse's Left Arm fused with Johnny not noticing. The spinning nails emit a faint buzzing sound, similar to that of a wasp, according to Oyecomova. He can also use his nails as short-range cutting weapons. When he puts the nails against the ground, their rotating movement can rapidly carry Johnny away from his current position. Occasionally, Johnny lets the nails stay on his fingers. Once Johnny shoots a fingernail, they take a short time to grow back. However, they do not possess the power to cut through metal. The nails have incredible cutting power, capable of slicing through rock, cutting limbs clean off, or carving a tree into a humanoid shape within seconds. Johnny is able to make his fingernails, and later toenails, spin themselves at a high velocity and shoot them like bullets up to 10 meters. Tusk ACT1 grants Johnny the ability to imbue his nails with the Spin.
Tusk ACT1 is overall quite weak and isn't sufficient to challenge most Stand users. It decides to appear to Johnny and independently help him.ĪCT1 occasionally produces the sound " chumimi~in".ĭespite having a corporeal form, Tusk's power functions as a supernatural ability that Johnny must use personally to fight like a gunman. Tusk ACT1 possesses sentience separate from Johnny, as it is the guardian of the Left Arm. Tusk ACT1 is primarily pink in all media featuring it. Eight wavering vestiges emanate from its head laterally: Two above four from its sides, the lower of which, at its cheeks, are also surrounded by a dark circle and one either side of its chin. On its head, it bears two long, mammalian ears small, reflective black eyes, under a brow of a troubled angle a large star at the top of its forehead, behind which a dark circle radiates to its points, and from the center of which a string links with the tip of a cone fastened to the region of its nose. Its posterior is marked somewhat irregularly by small stars, behind which dark circles radiate to their points while four tendrils droop from the base of its trunk to the approximate length of its leg, bearing heart shapes. Its head is of equal or slightly greater size than its body, and it floats with two short, vague, and inarticulate arms and one such leg. AppearanceĪCT1 resembles a small, neotenous W animal. It is referred to as the guardian of the Left Arm of the Saint's Corpse. Initially named "Tusk" as it was the first form that Johnny sees, Tusk ACT1 is the Stand's base form.
