D3lph0xL0v3r: Because canon recognizes that he is one of the worst types of people, someone who trusts blindly, ignores warning signs, actively harms others due to that trust and acts like the victim when they're exposed. He's just an awful person.

calderoneric758: It does, but for the purpose of this story, everyone who's received it so far has had the willpower necessary to wield a stand.

SentinalSlice: I didn't realize I did that with the electricity shot... whoops. Anyway, yeah, a lot of fics I read had Naofumi make custom shields that had unique abilities that are way past cool, and I want to make my stake in that, so I am going to do just that. I'm sorry to hear about your dog, the loss of a family member is an awful thing to go through and I'm glad I could help you, even if its just by letting you enjoy my story :)

anapgod1: When you get here, here's your response: I mean, to Naofumi that's a significant amount of time and he blindly trusts them since he literally doesn't know any better. To him, he's known them for all the time he can remember, which to the others is literally a day or two, but to him is way more significant.

Dalthale1642: Hell yeah, dude! Black Ops 1 and 2 were the bomb!

ThePhantomReader: Uhhhhhhhhh... I don't know? Jury is out on Glass right now, but that's an interesting idea.

Hanged Man: Requested by HolyDemon101 on Ao3

"Hey! There's two guys in a really weird fight!"

Naofumi whipped his head to the voice, finding one of India's street beggars pointing in the direction of one of the many main shopping district streets. Without hesitation, he charged off in the direction the man had pointed, praying he made it before there would be a corpse. Seeing an alleyway, Naofumi didn't think twice to head down it, using the convenient path as a wonderful shortcut.

Unfortunately for him, it ended up being a dead end alleyway. Fortunately for him, he had a stand that just kind of negated stuff like that. Wireframe phased out from Naofumi's body and latched onto his shoulders and Naofumi dove through the wall, harmlessly passing through the stone structure and appearing on the inside of the building. A quick look and he found he was inside a small clothing shop and the window outside showed Polnareff and a cowboy attire wearing man… laughing?

Naofumi deadpanned, "What."

Without warning, the two took up intense poses and summoned their stands. Polnareff's familiar Silver Chariot took up a regal stance and prepared to parry any blow. In the cowboy's hand, a strange gun, perhaps a colt, appeared and he took aim. A ranged stand, that would be annoying. Naofumi scrambled as he leapt through the wall, the cowboy's stand firing.

Silver Chariot stepped forward and lashed out with a downward swing, aiming to slice the bullet in half… only for the bullet to easily maneuver around the projectile. Polnareff quickly realized how utterly fucked he was and could only watch as the bullet came closer to his temple.

He was only saved by Naofumi shoulder tackling the overly buff Frenchman away from the shot.

"You goddamn idiot!" Naofumi shouted as the two rose to their feet, "The bullet came from his stand, so it's obviously part of his stand too!" Naofumi drove his finger into Polnareff's temple, "You have a brain, so use it for once, you got it?!"

"Now what the hell gives you the right to-" Polnareff tried to defend his pride, only to be outright ignored.

A quick glance revealed to Naofumi the cowboy doesn't have two right hands. There's two stand users. "I refuse to let your pride kill you, so go find the other user while I handle Cowboy over here!"

Polnareff had many things to say, but held his tongue, knowing nothing he could say would improve his situation, so in a display of uncharacteristic patience, he searched the windows of the stores on the street. Dammit, there's too many people.

Naofumi watched warily as the cowboy twirled his stand on his finger.

"Y'know, I've already introduced myself to Polnareff over there, but I guess I don't mind spreading my name a bit farther." The cowboy grinned, "The name's Hol Horse, and my stand represents the card, The Emperor. And, unfortunately you seem to be on that idiot's side, so I guess I'm going to have to kill ya." He sighed, "It's nothing personal, really kid, but DIO terrifies me and I'd rather not die because I failed to kill your group, alright?"

"If he scares you that much, then why don't you join up with us?" Naofumi replies, "You've seen the awful shit he does, how can you stomach working for him when you can fight him?"

Hol Horse smirked, "Y'see kid, I can tell you aren't the most experienced in all this, no one goes against DIO and lives to tell the tale. But if you do somehow reach him, let me give you some advice..." His smirk widened, "Watch your surroundings."

Naofumi felt a hand clamp down on his shoulder, "What?!" He cried out in confusion. In the corner of his eye, he saw a puddle laying at his feet. Inside the reflection was the Hanged Man in all his glory, wearing cloth wrap around its upper torso and most of its head, the stand had a long blade unsheathed. It threw its wrist down and plunged the blade into the flesh between Naofumi's shoulder blades. Blood erupted from the wound and Naofumi couldn't help but glimpse at the injury that had manifested on his back. The sound of a gun firing caught his attention and Naofumi whipped his head back to the cowboy, only to have a bullet lodge itself in his skull and blow him back to his feet, blood beginning to poll around him from his two wounds.

Polnareff could only watch in stunned shock as one of his new friends died in just a few seconds. He couldn't tear his eyes away. "NAOFUMI!" He screamed and with his grief, the people casually watching the three strange men standing in the middle of the street scattered, hoping to avoid sharing the same fate from whatever had struck the young man.

Hol Horse watched from afar as Kakyoin arrived and the two other stand users sped off in a stolen truck, leaving the kid's body behind. "Well, that's one down. Shame it had to be the kid, but at least he won't give us any more trouble, right J Geil?" He called out to his partner. After failing to get a response, Hol Horse shrugged, "Guess he went after them," he holstered his stand, "I should get outta here before the others show up. Wouldn't want to… huh?!" His eyes bulged from their sockets as he saw the previously dead kid now groaning and climbing to his feet.

Naofumi stood and wiped the blood from his eyes, blinking a couple times to clear his vision.

Hol Horse pointed accusingly, "How?! I shot you!"

After situating himself, Naofumi sighed, "Did you really attack us not knowing what all our stands abilities were? DIO must really be going senile in his old age." He tutted at the cowboy, summoning Wireframe, "The bullet may have hit me, but it didn't go all the way through, I phased my body through it so it really only dug in a couple millimeters."

He stretched, "Well with the explanation out of the way…" He dashed forwarded at Hol Horse, a furious glare in his eyes, "I'm gonna kick your fucking ass Hol Horse!"

Hol Horse yelped in a manly way as he ran away from the enraged stand user. He summoned Emperor and fired several shots, but they all phased harmlessly through Naofumi's body. SHIT! The two darted down alleyways, main roads, around traffic, and across parts of the empty area surrounding the town. At some point, Hol Horse thought he passed by a car wreck that looked suspiciously familiar but he was more scared of the Japanese kid with an overpowered defensive stand that was slowly closing in on the exhausted cowboy.

"C-c'mon kid! I-wheeze-I promise I'll leave you all alone if you let me go," he panted out between gasping breaths.

"Tough Shit!" Was all he got in response. Hol Horse groaned as his body yowled in agony. He was too old for this, dammit!

The two darted up some steps and into a market district before he crashed into a familiar muscular frenchman.

"Again?!" Polnareff swore as the two men tried to unravel themselves. "Hol Horse?!" He screeched as he recognized the man who crashed into him.

Hol Horse latched onto Polnareff's shoulders, weeping pathetically, "I don't care if you beat me up bad, just get me away from him, please!"

"Hol Hooooorse!" Naofumi's voice rang out and Hol Horse yelped and hid behind Polnareff.

"That voice…" Kakyoin watched in awe.

"Naofumi?!" Polnareff cried out in glee as the previously thought dead member of the Stardust Crusaders barreled through the crowd.

"Hol Horse, get the hell over here and help me dammit!" A bloodied J Geil demanded of the cowboy, who quickly composed himself and darted away from the frenchman. The two stand users looked far less threatening when one was bleeding profusely from a cut across his entire chest and the other was panting and flushed with exhaustion.

"Mind filling me in?" Naofumi asks. It pays to be informed.

"His stand travels from reflection to reflection, but it can be injured as it moves," Kakyoin supplies.

"This one has a gun. The bullets are also a part of the stand," Naofumi gave a not so subtle look at Polnareff.

"Yeah, yeah, you can lecture me later, let's finish these assholes already!" Polnareff summoned Silver Chariot and the silver knight charged forward, its rapier ready to cut the men into pieces. Naofumi joined the charge, Wireframe ready to pummel its aggressors into next Tuesday.

J Geil cowered back but Hol Horse aimed Emperor and fired. Polnareff didn't flinch, however, as emeralds collided with the bullets, knocking them off course. Hanged Man appeared in the reflection of Kakyoin's eye, already driving its wrist shivs towards the two stands, only for them to harmlessly pass through them. It flailed, desperately trying to injure the two, but made no headway.

"W-wait!" J Geil pleaded, "W-we can work things out, right?!"

Wireframe jumped forward and threw a right hook into J Geil's disgusting face. The deplorable man's head cracked to the side and he fell to the ground. Hol Horse attempted to fire once more, now that Wireframe wasn't by its user's side, it would be an easy shot, but Hierophant Green wrapped around him, constricting him and putting an end to that idea. He fell over onto the ground helplessly and tried to wriggle away in his bonds.

"Oi, Polnareff, you mind if I get a few more hits in? He did stab me and all," Naofumi requested.

Polnareff waved, "Of course, of course. I've waited years for this. So what's a few moments more, especially if it gives this asshole some more time to repent before I send him to hell."

Naofumi cracked his knuckles, a feral grin on his face. Wireframe levelled blow after blow into the fool's face, bloodying it and breaking everything it could. "IKARI-KARI-KARI-KARI-KARI-KARI-KARI-KARI-KARI-KARI-KA...RIIIII!"

J Geil sobbed from his spot on the ground and tried to crawl away.

"It seems you're the one who's really good at sobbing, J Geil! Well, you're about to fell to Hell, sobbing the whole way down. But there's one thing I can't rely on the guardians of Hell to do for me. And that's…" Polnareff grits his teeth, looking absolutely livid. "To turn you into a pincushion!"

Silver Chariot appeared and unleashed hell on J Geil, stabbing and plunging its rapier into the flesh of his face and slashing it to ribbons. J Geil cried out in agony all the while, his face deforming even more from the damage. With a final stab, Silver Chariot punctured J Geil's mouth, and threw him into the air where he landed atop a metal pike, skewered all the way through.

"So this was the true Hanged Man…" Kakyoin remarks as he looks at the body, "He was rotten to the core.

"I'm not one for killing, but even I can admit people like that bastard deserve more than death." Naofumi spat at the corpse of the murderer.

"I got my revenge," Polnareff spoke as he left the area, his back turned to the man who haunted his life.

Notes:

So this is basically what the stand specials are going to be: Naofumi is either inserted into an already existing fight in the JoJo story to join the fight or in the case where battles against requested stands don't exist in canon or would be really awkward to write, I'll just make up an entire fight around the two stands.

Hanged Man was a bit of a strange one to start on since the two abilities don't really mesh well for an interesting fight and Hanged Man's ability is relatively straight forward with little room for any sort of creative counterplay or strategies. Which is kind of unfortunate since I've been trying to think of stuff for the fight for a while now. Oh well.

I tried to make up for it by making it a little more comedy focused with Hol Horse's existence and to that end I think I did ok, but let me know if it fell flat.

Anyway, if anyone has any other suggestions for stand fights, then let me know in the reviews or in PMs.

See you all later!
