Josuke has also enveloped himself and allies with giant bubbles to take advantage of their situational protection. The bubbles have lifting power, allowing Josuke to envelop others like Yotsuyu Yagiyama in a giant bubble and lift them in the air, as well as help him reach vantage points. Josuke often takes direct advantage of his bubbles and their properties. The bubbles are actually comprised of tiny cords vibrating at super-high speeds, giving them the appearance of spheres. However, Josuke can control where the bubbles can fly, allowing him to send them where they are needed. Soft & Wet generates star-embedded floating bubbles, which must make contact with its target to work effectively. Josuke encasing himself in a giant bubble Pre-Equivalent Exchange Bubble Generation When its user transforms into a different person as a result of undergoing equivalent exchange, Soft & Wet is granted additional abilities as a result. Despite its volley of fast-paced strikes, Soft & Wet easily avoided and overcame it with a single 'Ora'-articulated strike.
Its strength in melee exchanges compared to other Stands has been further demonstrated in the brief encounter with Yotsuyu Yagiyama's Stand, I Am a Rock. The extent of the damage it can inflict is limited, however, as it is unable to break rocks. It possesses enhanced strength, demonstrated first when it breaks a large portion of an apartment wall with a single back kick, and is also capable of extremely rapid hand-to-hand combat. Soft & Wet is a humanoid close-range Stand. However, it becomes a regular "ORA ORA ORA" ( オラオラオラ) in every fight afterwards. Soft & Wet's Stand Cry is originally "ORA ORA ARA ORA" ( オラオラ アラオラ) when it first does a punch rush against Ojiro Sasame. After his fusion with Kira, Josuke's bubbles now bear a five-pointed star, similar to Kira's bubbles, and appear to be a sort of fusion between two bubbles of different sizes.ĭecorations (Green tubes, parts and symbols) Josefumi's bubbles were initially featureless. Its ears have also grown a bit longer since it first appeared. It also gains a circular jewel under its neck, and its shoulder pads become triangular, jutting out of its shoulders perpendicularly. In later chapters, its torso takes on a more 'heart-like' shape. Araki imagined a sailor's uniform combined with the flotation devices in a life vest. The design was created to match up with Josuke's outfit, rather than its ability. An internal structure is visible at its profile, showing blocks approximating human centers of mass. The gaps in its plating reveal a deeper surface, covered in a fine pattern of horizontal ridges.
It has fine arms and legs, with dark, exposed ball-and-socket joints supported by short exterior cables. Its feet and hands are covered with plating, as are the sides of its hips and shoulders, both of which are shaped like sharp hearts and bear a five-pointed star. The front of two broad plates covering its torso is cut like its face in the shape of a large anchor as well as in a line beneath both arms and between the base of its back and shoulders. Its face has a thick gap running from the top of the forehead past the bottom of the chin. It has round eyes, shaped as slotted screw heads vertically dividing very small, slight, round pupils. Growing from each side of its head are horn-like ears that Araki enjoys drawing, shaped as tapering pentagrammic prisms.
On the top of its head is a five-pointed star bound with a circle. Soft & Wet is a humanoid Stand of a streamlined, robotic form, light in color, and similar in height to Josuke.
