Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, frequently shortened to D4C, is the Stand of Zev Raregroove.

Biography[edit | edit source]

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap is described as being a mostly-white humanoid with several dark green arrow-like decorations, eyes with strange natural green lenses, two large, upright horns, and a clock on each joint.

According to Witchy Woman, D4C has "monstrous power" that can only be acquired by devouring other Stands. However, it remains to be seen if this is true.

D4C has the ability to stop time within a certain radius of itself. When activated, this power manifests as a ripple of energy that expands outwards from D4C, freezing everything in its immediate surroundings. Zev is not affected by this ability, nor is D4C itself or either of their abilities. It is unknown if there is a limit to how long D4C can keep time frozen, but it seems able to resume the flow of time itself.

Secondly, D4C has demonstrated the ability to absorb energy that it comes into contact with and release it in the form of projected beams as an offensive measure.

History[edit | edit source]

In 150,080 CMT, Zev Raregroove hit Malygos with a Stand Arrow, which caused the mage to manifest his Stand for the first time: Witchy Woman. To force Malygos to use his Stand, and in order to find out what its abilities were, Zev introduced his own Stand, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, and ordered it to attack. First, Zev made D4C stop time around it, freezing Malygos's allies, then fired twelve blasts of concussive energy into D4C, which D4C absorbed and redirected towards the enemies, though they were caught in D4C's time field before they could hit their targets. Now that D4C was confident that the trap had been set, it resumed the flow of time, allowing the energy blasts to continue on their course. They slammed into Malygos's allies, throwing them into a nearby wall and knocking them unconscious.

After receiving Malygos's permission to perform a counterattack, Witchy Woman revealed a technique called "Chest Fever", which involved turning into energy and flying into D4C's chest, immobilizing the enemy Stand. Witchy Woman then used its power to correct anomalies to disable the semi-anomalous D4C: a process which caused Zev considerable agony. Fortunately, Witchy Woman exited the body of D4C before it could inflict lethal damage upon it and its master. As expected, Zev conceded the duel.

D4C has not been seen in the story since, though it probably still exists, because Zev would die if it was destroyed. However, the role of Zev's "Stand" has since been occupied by a Spirit Ally named Asabana, meaning that D4C has probably been replaced in that regard.
