Introduction

Akira Otoishi is a minor villain in the fourth part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Diamond is Unbreakable. Made a Stand User by Keicho Nijimura, he kills him and steals the Bow and Arrow to create Stand Users for the purpose of killing or driving out the main group so that he may commit crimes and rock out to his adoring fans in peace. He wields the electricity-manipulating Stand, Red Hot Chili Pepper.

• Electricity Gauge: Akira is governed by a special gauge, which he needs to charge in order to use his special moves, as well as enhance their performance.

Playstyle

Akira Otoishi is a Stand character who utilizes his Electricity Gauge to make outstanding performances at his opponent's expense.
Pros	Cons
Good Damage: MAX Electricity alters Akira's moves, generally granting him greater damage in combos. Pro 2: TBD Pro 3: TBD	Needs Electricity: Akira needs to manage the Electricity Gauge the whole match, and running out of it will put him at a severe disadvantage until he's able to refill it. Con 2: TBD

Electricity Gauge

Exclusive to Akira is a special gauge that directly affects his abilities depending on how much of it is filled, its power constantly draining and being consumed whenever he uses certain abilities or has Red Hot Chili Pepper active.

The Electricity Gauge drains passively over time, but is also consumed by using Akira's special moves (the amount of electricity consumed depending on the attack). He must avoid draining it completely, as if it is empty, he will be unable to use his Throw, special moves, or even summon Red Hot Chili Pepper, leaving only his Stand Off normals available. Upon fully draining, the gauge will refill itself passively so long as Akira remains in Stand Off, but will start draining again after refilling a certain amount.

Akira can manually refill the Electricity Gauge by using either version of "Charge", his HHA or his GHA. Notably, Akira can overfill the gauge to obtain "MAX Electricity", increasing the damage and speed of his electricity-based attacks as well as altering their properties, with Red Hot Chili Pepper visually becoming brighter as more sparks and electric crackles come off of it. If Akira summons Red Hot Chili Pepper with MAX Electricity, he will remain in that state until the gauge runs out or he unsummons his Stand.
