Noble Eightfold Path is the Stand of Cassius Calm. It is a powerful Meditation-Type Stand, with the ability to generate force-fields for both defensive and offensive purposes.

Biography[edit | edit source]

Noble Eightfold Path appears as a humanoid being of swirling white light, clad in Calm's discarded purple robes, and with a golden wheel resembling the Dharma wheel on its back. When Calm first summoned Noble Eightfold Path, he did so by discarding his robes, which took shape around the Stand; it is currently unknown if this is a requirement for it to be summoned.

Noble Eightfold Path possesses the ability to generate force-fields, which can be defensive or offensive in nature - for example, he could create a sphere of force to protect himself with, or a bolt of it to push at someone. This fits with Cassius's pacifistic, nonlethal fighting style, and allows him to wind or KO opponents as opposed to killing them outright.

Noble Eightfold Path possesses no atypical "quirks" or personality traits, and appears to be fully under the control of its user, Cassius.

Naming[edit | edit source]

It is named for the Noble Eightfold Path, one of the core teachings of Buddhism.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • Noble Eightfold Path was originally going to be called Nirvana, after both the band of the same name, and the Buddhist concept. It was later changed to Noble Eightfold Path, because of its more difficult pronunciation and more unwieldy length, which is more in keeping with the intention behind the naming scheme given for the Stands.
