Steel Spin

"Hey, hey, so swaying to your left is your habit... But, that's good! Go ahead... go ahead and let your anger explode!" —Gyro Zeppeli

Info

Steel Spin, also known as Ball Breaker in the Manga, is the Legendary Stand of Gyro Zeppeli in Part 7 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run.

Appearance

Steel Spin takes the form of a small dwarf like humanoid stand the size of a Steel Ball which Gyro uses. The patterns and groove across the stand also are similar, as the stand was a manifestation of Gyro‘s innate abilities. There is also small pink markings across its body and a curved headpiece similar to a board across the upper half of its head. This manifestation was created by infusing Spin energy within Steel Balls, hence the name Steel Spin.

Trivia

Conceptually, the Spin/Kaiten is basically an alternative version of Ripple/Hamon, following the same principle of producing and transfering energy with the main difference of requiring an object to produce the energy instead of it coming from the user.
The Spin Charge move has a set energy generation rate that cannot be sped up through the Special stat, however, traits such as Enchanted, Gluttonous and Spiritual can.
Energy of the Spin seems to not work as intended as damage doesn't increases in any way with HT meter no matter what level it reaches. This remains true even after the rework of the spec's Hardened Skin passive.
Just as prior the small rework, one could compare the Hardened Skin passive with Ryoiki and deem it a weaker version of it. Currently it has the small advantage of the generated shield not fading when out of combat, making it better on the long run despite the 30/80% difference in shield limit.
The spec gives the user's avatar the same belt Gyro uses to hold Steel Balls no matter what, being unaffected by the Cosmetic Changes option on the menu.
- This is purely cosmetical as using skills involving throwing Steel Balls won't make the ball holsters empty.
