Jean-Pierre Polnareff is a primary ally featured in the third part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, Stardust Crusaders.

In Stardust Crusaders, the Frenchman Polnareff travels with Jotaro and Joseph to avenge his sister, who was murdered by a man with two right hands.

Polnareff is a Stand user that wields Silver Chariot, a humanoid Stand clad in armor and armed with a rapier.

Polnareff is a man of above-average height and a muscular build. He has silver hair styled in a tall flat top and a receded hairline. He has no eyebrows. He also wears jagged earrings in the shape of a broken heart.

When Polnareff was a child, he had buck teeth, large ears, and freckles. His hair was also shorter and wider.

Polnareff wears a fitted black tube top, which is shoulderless except for one strap running from his chest over his left shoulder. He also wears a pair of light pants with pouches tied to the belt on each of his hips. He lost two of his left fingers and all his left toes after the battle against Vanilla Ice.

Jean-Pierre Polnareff is a boastful but honorable and well-meaning Frenchman. He hates being bored and taking the easier path. Even if it means he would get in danger, he is the type to go all-out and does whatever he can to fulfill his dreams Polnareff's most defining trait is his honor. His first appearance has him handicap himself on purpose by explaining his ability and fight his opponent Avdol in a terrain more suitable to the latter. Polnareff's honor is such that even under the control of DIO, he refuses to do something as dishonorable as attacking someone from the back. Adopting a chivalrous mindset, Polnareff is reluctant to flee from a fight or use dishonorable tactics, although he can be persuaded if the opponent is one he deeply hates like Vanilla Ice or DIO. He is in fact somewhat happy to see Chaka challenge him directly. Polnareff is also very eager to avenge his fallen loved ones, for instance traveling the world to search for the one to have killed his sister Sherry. Polnareff is well-meaning and will also sacrifice a potential romance so his enemies won't harm an innocent woman, the most notable case with Malèna, whose kindness towards him when Alessi's Stand caused him to shrink into a child moved him.

Polnareff's impulsive nature and blunt attitude leads to people thinking he's arrogant and stubborn, but he's a truly reliable ally for those who are on his side. He is very proud of his Silver Chariot, with good reason as he trained hard with it. However, his overconfidence unfortunately means that he is poorly suited to fight the cowardly Stand users on his path, as he doesn't expect their moves. This leads him into a number of disadvantageous positions, notably against Hol Horse's Emperor or Anubis. Polnareff has trouble seeing his own faults and thinks of himself as better as he really is, having for instance once noted the carelessness of throwing a lit cigarette butt on the ground, despite it being a cigarette that he threw which ended up causing a fire. During his journey, it isn't unusual for Polnareff to argue with his companions or run afoul of various people he meets. He also initially held a poor view of Avdol, as he fled DIO instead of fighting, and had an argument which severed his relationship with him. Likewise, Polnareff attacked Iggy upon their first meeting, their two personalities clashing violently.

Polnareff is also the least serious member of the group, serving as an opposite to Jotaro. He easily bonds with his companions, casually joking with Avdol, Kakyoin, Joseph, and even Jotaro. Being very extroverted, he has no problem expressing joy or sorrow and openly mourns his comrades. This trait pushed the other members of the Joestar Group to not reveal Avdol's recovery to him as they feared he would spill the secret. Polnareff is somewhat easily distracted and repeatedly finds a way to lighten the mood, cracking a joke in sign language with Kakyoin while the submarine they were in was being sunk, and being willing to taste homemade baby food from Joseph. Polnareff's childhood dream was to become a comic artist bigger than Disney. He eventually wanted to build his own amusement park, named Polnareff Land. Polnareff references pop culture icons frequently, such as Tom & Jerry or The Exorcist. He can seem unintelligent but in battle has shown surprising intellect, strategy and instinct.

Polnareff fancies himself a ladies' man. This is in part due to having mild narcissism, often considering himself a handsome man and taking special pride in his hair. A woman's good looks are always enough to distract him from even the most serious subjects, leading to Joseph commenting that Polnareff thinks with his crotch. Even as a toddler, he was already delighted to bathe with a beautiful woman. Usually a very perceptive fighter, being able to sniff out Devo the Cursed, Chaka, and Alessi, he seems to be unable to think that a woman would ever be evil, never suspecting Nena or Enya when he met them. Polnareff is very friendly with women, giving love advice to Nena and trying to bond with Enya (though it unintentionally enraged her). Polnareff's favorite type of woman depends on his mood.

As a "sophisticated" man, Polnareff cannot stand filthy places, especially filthy toilets or those that do not fit his standards.

Interestingly, Polnareff's best friends during the course of the series are Avdol and Iggy, neither of whom he could stand when they first met.

Polnareff's humanoid Stand is Silver Chariot, one of the fastest of all; utilizing a rapier in a flexible and deadly offense. The Stand is also capable of removing its armor to move even faster, to the point of creating after-images, and of launching its sword, with both techniques having their own drawbacks.

*The Tarot card of The Chariot symbolizes invasion and victory, heralding the overcoming of all obstacles.

Having been born with Silver Chariot, Polnareff is stated to have intensively trained with his Stand, with great results. Thanks to his training, Polnareff is able to expertly wield Silver Chariot and make it fight with the expertise of a seasoned swordsman, able to command it to slash or stab with great precision and timing. Although the sword is its main feature, Polnareff can also command his Stand to perform kicks in a pinch. Moreover, Polnareff has a habit of partially channelling Silver Chariot through his body, adding greater protection against attacks.

Polnareff's tactical acumen is greatly impeded by his faults, such as mild arrogance, tendency to be distracted by women (especially pretty ones), and his general nobility of character which makes him slow in expecting treachery.

However, Polnareff has proven to be a very quick and perceptive fighter, being noticeably faster to catch when a man is trying to attack him. He has shown to greatly use the environment to his advantage, and he often keeps the basics of combat, such as blind angles and the high ground advantage, in mind. Having faced Stands with far more esoteric powers than his own, such as Hanged Man, Cream and King Crimson, Polnareff has managed to not only figure out their abilities, but also devise simple and practical counters to them, using nothing but his immediate surroundings or even his own body.

Polnareff's training with Silver Chariot and an off-hand comment about Chaka's amateurish sword stance suggest that Polnareff himself is a skilled swordsman. His skill is somewhat demonstrated when after being possessed by Anubis, he himself is able to overwhelm Star Platinum. The anime expands on that by giving him a typical fencing stance.

Polnareff was born in 1964 in the French countryside with his Stand, though he would not realize he had it until some time later. His mother died when he was still young, leaving him alone with his sister Sherry. Three years before events of Stardust Crusaders, his sister was ambushed, raped and murdered by J. Geil. To avenge her, Polnareff travels the world to seek him out but knows next to nothing about him except for his two right hands. It is stated that Polnareff trained extensively with his Silver Chariot to become a strong Stand user.

His Stand powers attracted DIO, and they met one year before the events of Stardust Crusaders. During their meeting, DIO used Jonathan Joestar's stand to show Polnareff a vision of Sherry's murderer through a crystal ball and persuaded Polnareff to join him. DIO also implanted one of his flesh buds in Polnareff, turning him into one of his servants.

Polnareff first appears in Hong Kong. Approaching the Joestar Group in a restaurant posing as a tourist, he soon reveals his plans to attack the Joestars, summons his Stand, Silver Chariot, and challenges Muhammad Avdol as his first victim. Polnareff reveals who he is and shows off Silver Chariot's great fencing skill by skewering five coins thrown the air and five flames in one thrust. Avdol answers in kind by remotely commanding the flames to disintegrate a table. Polnareff invites the group to go to the Tiger Balm Garden, one of Hong Kong's famous landmarks where the open space will allow Magician's Red to fight at its full potential and make Polnareff's victory all the more honorable.

Polnareff and Avdol start their battle. Sure of his victory, Polnareff sculpts a statue of Magician's Red while deflecting its flames into a rock. Avdol uses a special technique: the Cross Fire Hurricane. Magician's Red shoots a giant ankh of flames which Polnareff easily deflects back at the Stand and cuts it in two. However, Avdol has tricked Polnareff with the statue the Frenchman made earlier and shoots a second Cross Fire Hurricane. Polnareff is nonetheless unharmed as Silver Chariot's armor has protected the Stand.

Shedding out the armor, Silver Chariot is now so fast it can leave afterimages. Magician's Red attacks again but only succeeds in hitting the ground. Avdol thus decides to use another technique: the Cross Fire Hurricane Special with Magician's Red shooting 6 fire ankhs. Silver Chariot is ready to guard against the attack but is taken out by Avdol's real attack, the flame Avdol has shot into the ground has persisted and dug its way through the ground to hit Polnareff from below. Polnareff is defeated and covered in flames, and Avdol tosses him a dagger so that he can kill himself instead of suffering. Surprisingly, Polnareff doesn't try to attack Avdol with the dagger. Impressed, Avdol cancels the flames and the Joestar Group decides to save him. Jotaro then discovers the flesh bud on his forehead and extracts it.

Polnareff reveals that he's seeking the man who murdered his sister and decides to accompany the Joestar Group for the time being. The group decides to take the sea route and use a ship crewed by men from the Speedwagon Foundation. The crew discovers a stowaway child who dives into a shark-infested sea by mistake and must be saved by Jotaro. However, an enemy Stand appears from the depths to attack Jotaro and the teenager is only saved thanks to Hierophant Green. The group wonder if the little girl Jotaro saved is an enemy, but Jotaro unmask Captain Tennille as an impostor. Jotaro is dragged underwater and Polnareff is stuck witnessing Jotaro's fight against the Impostor Captain Tennille and Dark Blue Moon. Although the enemy is defeated, the Fake Captain has sabotaged the boat and everyone must evacuate. Stranded on a life boat, the group, the stowaway girl and the boat crew soon cross path with a mysterious freighter. The freighter is nearly empty save for an orangutan. The ape reveals itself to be a Stand user whose Stand is the freighter itself, Strength. Polnareff is bound as the boat's every components come to life and attack the group but Jotaro manages to defeat the enemy. The Joestar Group and the stowaway girl are the only survivors.

The Joestar Group is finally rescued and reach Singapore. Soon after they arrive, Polnareff has a run-in with a policeman who mistakes his bag for garbage and tries to fine him. Out of sympathy, the group also invites the girl to stay in the hotel until her father supposedly arrives to pick her up. The group check in at a hotel and Polnareff gets a single room. As soon as he arrives he spots bottles laid out on the ground and tells his assailant to come out of the fridge. The new enemy presents himself as Devo the Cursed and summons his Ebony Devil, but Polnareff's Silver Chariot takes a few good stabs at Devo, forcing the enemy Stand user to flee while cursing the Frenchman. At this moment, Ebony Devil's true power activates. Something slashes Polnareff's ankle. Polnareff calls Avdol's room to tell him what has happened and then calls room service for a first aid kit. After he replaces a creepy doll that must have fallen to the ground during the fight, Polnareff notices that he's bandaged himself with a dirty underwear. Polnareff looks for his keys and strangely finds them under the bed. Crawling under it to take the keys, Polnareff hears suspicious noises. Suddenly, his hands are feet are tied to the bed, shampoo is thrown in his eyes and the legs of the bed are sawed off, trapping him. It is revealed that Ebony Devil, fueled by Devo's newfound hatred for Polnareff, has possessed a doll strategically placed in the bed room. Blinded, Polnareff's Silver Chariot cannot fight the doll. The doll bites off a chunk of his neck and in the confusion, Silver Chariot breaks a mirror. The doll doses the underside of the bed in alcohol and prepares to toss a malfunctioning hair dryer into the puddle to electrocute Polnareff to death but Polnareff stabs it in the head, having broken the mirror to see above the bed with the shards. Polnareff shreds the doll, killing Devo the Cursed at the same time.

Ironically, an exhausted Polnareff joins with the rest of the group, who chastise him for being late to their discussion about how to defeat Devo.

Later, Jotaro learns from Rubber Soul that the man who has murdered Polnareff's sister is near and that his ability involves mirrors.

As the group arrives in Calcutta, Polnareff is one of the most affected by the culture shock. At a restaurant, he notably discovers with horror a pig sticking out of a toilet bowl he was about to use. Soon after, Polnareff is attacked by a Stand coming from the mirror: Hanged Man. He breaks the mirror and informs his companions of the enemy, but decides to leave the group and seek his enemy alone. A dispute ensues with Avdol who advises against remaining alone, but Polnareff calls him a coward and leaves nonetheless.

Polnareff asks the locals about a man with two right hands but meets with another enemy instead. Hol Horse, a gun for hire, unveils his gun Stand Emperor and shoots Polnareff. Emperor allows Hol Horse to control the bullets and Polnareff is almost shot in the head, but Avdol suddenly appears to push him out of the trajectory of the bullet. Avdol reprimands Polnareff again but Hanged Man and Hol Horse use a combination attack to kill Avdol with a shot to the head. Polnareff is devastated.

Noriaki Kakyoin has arrived to witness Avdol's death. Taunted by Hanged Man, Polnareff attacks without success and Hol Horse shoots another bullet for him. However, Kakyoin saves him and the duo drive away in a truck, followed by Hanged Man. In there, Polnareff apologizes for his behavior and Kakyoin elbows him in the face as a token of his forgiveness. The enemy Stand forces the truck they're driving to crash but Polnareff discovers its secret: Hanged Man is Stand of light that hides onto reflective surfaces, traveling between reflective surfaces at the speed of light. When a boy arrives and asks if the two are alright, and Hanged Man is about to attack from the boy's eye. However, Polnareff has the presence of mind to kick sand in the boy's eyes, forcing them to shut and Hanged Man to travel into his own eye. Moreover, Silver Chariot manages to slash Hanged Man while it traveled in the air, wounding J. Geil. Polnareff and Kakyoin hear a cry of pain and run toward the source, sure to find the enemy. However, J. Geil ambushes them with a decoy and attracts a crowd of beggars, allowing himself several points from which Hanged Man can attack. Kakyoin returns the situation by tossing one coin high while Polnareff kicks sand in the eye of the beggars, forcing Hanged Man to jump toward the coin. Silver Chariot slashes it a second time and J. Geil is defeated. As revenge, Polnareff stabs him multiple time and sends him flying into a fence, leaving him hanging upside down.

Polnareff and Kakyoin are soon confronted by Hol Horse and they inform him that J. Geil has died. The gunman quickly understands that he must run and although Jotaro and Joseph arrive, a young girl named Nena who is in love with Hol Horse tackles Joseph and allows Hol Horse to flee.

The group travels up to Varanasi with Nena tagging along. In reality, Nena is also an enemy Stand user. While Joseph is attacked by Empress, Polnareff is kept distracted by Nena who fakes falling in love with him. When Joseph finally defeats Empress, Nena reveals her true form as an ugly woman who was wearing a young girl's skin, shocking Polnareff.

The Joestar Group flees Varanasi and make its way toward Pakistan on a car. On the road, they pick up the same runaway girl who was with them at sea. Soon, the group crosses path with another car with an unseen and aggressive driver. Because of it, they almost crash into a truck, only for Star Platinum to throw the car above it. The group decides to follow the enemy. In a roadside cafe name Cafe Marhaba, the group sees that the enemy car is parked nearby. Jotaro, Joseph and Polnareff decide to rough up the clients to discover the enemy, but they have already left with the car. The group is lured toward a cliff with the enemy car appearing from behind and pushing the heroes to their death. Polnareff notably tells the group to leave the car but releases the brakes, allowing their car to be pushed down. Thankfully, Jotaro and Kakyoin combine their abilities to save the group. However, it is revealed that the car is the Stand Wheel of Fortune, which comes back from the bottom of the cliff to attack. Wheel of Fortune uses an invisible attack that wounds Jotaro and the group decides to retreat further up. It is revealed that the car is shooting drops of gas at high pressure the driver lights the gas, setting Jotaro on fire. However, Jotaro digs a tunnel to fake his death and flanks the car. He swiftly defeats the enemy Stand user. The heroes leave ZZ, the driver, tied up.

After leaving the runaway girl on a plane back to Hong Kong, the group travels to Pakistan. They enter a foggy village, in which Polnareff, along with his companions, are unnerved by the strange inhabitants. They decide to rest there for the night and an amiable old woman invites them to her hotel. The woman is in reality Enya the Hag, one of DIO's followers. While the group rests in their room, Polnareff goes to the hall and almost surprises Enya trying to kill Hol Horse. Polnareff starts a conversation with Enya and soon infuriates her as he keeps mentioning her family, unaware that he just killed her son J. Geil.

When Hol Horse crawls out from under a couch and warns Polnareff, Enya reveals her true color and also the army of zombies she's gathered from the inhabitants. Terrified, Polnareff runs to safety and locks himself in the bathrooms, expecting the horde of zombies to eventually attack him. Polnareff cannot resist peeking through the keyhole and at this moment, a zombie's tongue lashes out of the hole and wounds his tongue. He's thus controlled by Justice through his tongue. As a first spiteful humiliation, Enya forces Polnareff to clean the bathroom with his tongue. Thankfully, Jotaro arrives and defeats Enya in short order. Hol Horse flees again and Enya is taken prisoner.

In Karachi, Steely Dan confronts the group and assassinates Enya. Worse, he sends his Lovers inside of Joseph's brain with some of DIO's cells to make them grow. While Jotaro is forced to stay with Steely Dan, Polnareff, Kakyoin and Joseph retreat. Joseph uses Hermit Purple on a TV set to look inside his brain. Thanks to that, Polnareff and Kakyoin can guide their Silver Chariot and Hierophant Green inside Joseph to reach Lovers. Silver Chariot is technically stronger than Lovers but the enemy Stand uses the cells in the brain to create duplicates of himself. Thankfully, Hierophant Green deploys its tentacles to secretly check every fake and wounds the real Lovers, driving it away. It is Jotaro who finishes off Lovers and defeats Steely Dan.

The Joestar Group reaches Abu Dhabi. Joseph decides to buy camels to cross the desert toward the village of Yabrin, but as they cross the desert, the group notices that the Sun is still up. It reveals itself as a powerful enemy Stand that bombards the heroes with lasers and they must hide under a rock with the scorching heat getting at them. Polnareff is the third to notice the enemy's hiding spot laughs alongside Kakyoin and Jotaro. Jotaro has Star Platinum throw a rock at the enemy and Sun is defeated.

In Yabrin, Kakyoin is attacked by Death Thirteen in his sleep but Polnareff fortunately wakes him before he dies. Kakyoin has forgotten his dream but is clearly nervous. Meanwhile, Joseph has bought a Cessna and accepts to have a sick baby tag along with the group to be delivered to a hospital. In reality, the baby is Mannish Boy, Death Thirteen's user who plans to kill the group in their sleep. Polnareff and Kakyoin sleep again and find themselves in Death Thirteen's nightmare world. In here, Polnareff also learns about the Stand and is almost killed but is woken up to change the baby's diapers. Kakyoin is stuck in the nightmare but struggles so much he disturbs Joseph and causes a crash.

The group has to make camp for the night while rescue arrives. Kakyoin is still affected by his nightmares and suspects that the baby is the enemy. However, Mannish Boy manages to hide his true nature and the group thinks that Kakyoin is having a nervous breakdown. When Kakyoin summons Hierophant Green to attack the baby, Polnareff knocks him out. The whole group falls asleep and is victimized by Death Thirteen. However, Kakyoin reappears with his Stand, as being rendered unconscious with one's Stand out allows one to keep them while dreaming. Kakyoin defeats Death Thirteen and the whole group is saved.

The group reaches the Red Sea but they first stop by an island where Muhammad Avdol's father lives. Painfully reminded of Avdol's death, Polnareff walks alone on the beach and finds an oil lamp. He rubs it and discovers "Cameo" a genie who will grant him three wishes. Skeptical, Polnareff tells Cameo to make him rich and the Frenchman suddenly discovers a treasure. He is won over and hurriedly tells Cameo to bring back his sister Sherry. The wish turns against him as Sherry reveals herself as a flesh eating zombie. Moreover, Cameo reveals itself as Judgement and also "grants" Polnareff's wish of bringing back Avdol. The two keep attacking Polnareff who cannot bring himself to hurt them.

Suddenly, a second Avdol appears, summons Magician's Red, and defeats the zombie. Avdol reveals that Emperor's bullet merely grazed his skull and that he faked his death in Calcutta to recover in tranquility. Avdol easily defeats Judgement then the pair discover Cameo's hiding spot. They humiliate him and then quickly defeat him. Polnareff happily presents Avdol to the Joestar Group and is dismayed to learn that everyone already knew about his survival and kept Polnareff out of the secret for fear that he'd inadvertently reveal it. Avdol also reveals a submarine he's bought which will allow the group to reach Egypt undetected. However, in the middle of the underwater journey, the group is attacked by High Priestess. The enemy Stand is extremely nimble and deadly, and it sabotages the submarine, forcing the heroes to evacuate their vessel. High Priestess disguises itself as a regulator and enters Polnareff's mouth but thankfully, Hierophant Green and Hermit Purple pull it out of the Frenchman. The group successfully exits the submarine but High Priestess fuses with the seabed and turns into a giant head that swallows the heroes. Thankfully, Jotaro smashes High Priestess' rock teeth, taking out the user.

When the group reaches the surface, Polnareff goes to check on the enemy user but sees her ravaged face and tells the group to not bother. The heroes have reached Egypt.

The group meets with a helicopter envoy from the Speedwagon Foundation. The crew delivers some supplies but more importantly, bring Iggy, a dog Stand user. The dog jumps on Polnareff's head, tear his hair, and then farts on his face. Enraged, Polnareff sends out Silver Chariot but Iggy also summons his sand Stand, The Fool. The Fool is made of sand and easily neutralizes Silver Chariot. Unbeknownst to them, the group is targeted by N'Doul, another one of DIO's henchmen.

The group finds the Speedwagon helicopter crashed in the desert. Soon N'Doul attacks the heroes with his remote controlled water Stand, Geb. Crouched together, Kakyoin tells Polnareff to attack the canteen from which Geb came out, which offends Polnareff since Kakyoin could do the attacking himself. Geb then suddenly comes from the sand and slashes Kakyoin's eyes. Polnareff is targeted as well, but thankfully, one of the dead pilots' wristwatch rings, distracting Geb which attacks the watch. Carrying his friend Kakyoin, Polnareff is pursued by the enemy Stand which slashes his leg. However, Joseph manages to catch him and Kakyoin with Hermit Purple. Helpless against Geb, Polnareff lets Jotaro and Iggy defeat N'Doul.

In Aswan, Polnareff plays a large role during Oingo and Boingo's attempt on the group's lives. He fatefully chooses the café in which he, Joseph and Jotaro will sit while Kakyoin and Avdol are treated by tossing his cigarette on the ground and choose wherever the cigarette points. Polnareff then unintentionally helps Oingo and Boingo as his cigarette starts a fire near another café, dissuading the suspicious group from leaving. While Polnareff, Joseph and Jotaro end up sipping poisoned tea, Iggy causes a scene, making the trio spit everything out and run after him.

Later, Jotaro splits from the group. Joseph and Polnareff surprise Oingo trying to break into their car but Oingo disguises himself as Jotaro, fooling the pair. Polnareff forces Oingo into the car and go to the hospital, cornering Oingo with Jotaro's face and a nearby bomb in an orange peel threatening to explode. On their way to the hospital, Polnareff keeps prying "Jotaro" about his new clothes and unusual behaviour, and Oingo ultimately manages to escape the car. Polnareff performs a trick when he manages to flip a lit cigarette into his mouth and then tells "Jotaro" to repeat his cigarette trick with five cigarettes. Ultimately, Oingo finds an excuse to get out of the car and runs toward a rock to change back. Polnareff then tosses the bomb out of the car, having been persuaded that it wasn't edible by Oingo. The bomb then lands near Oingo and explodes, taking out the assassin.

The Joestar Group go up the Nile via boat, unaware that the sword Stand Anubis prepares its attack and possesses an innocent farmer named Chaka. The group stops at the temple of Kom Ombo. Polnareff is accosted by a local who tries to sell him a papyrus but Polnareff tears it apart, aware that papyrus is a stronger material. Polnareff is separated from the group and walks toward the temple of Kom Ombo, followed by Chaka. In the temple itself, the two formally present themselves and begin to fight. The Anubis sword can shift through matter and injures Polnareff, forcing Polnareff to retreat a bit. Chaka hides momentarily only to make a pillar fall on Polnareff while he's perched behind it, ready to strike. Polnareff uses his secret technique: he can shoot Silver Chariot's sword blade from its handle and manages to hit Chaka in the neck, defeating him. Polnareff decides to take the sword and is almost possessed, but the group calls him out, breaking the spell for the time being. In Edfu, Polnareff and Jotaro go to a barber's shop. The barber, Khan, is also possessed while Polnareff gets ready to be shaved. Polnareff fights him again but discovers with horror that the sword gets stronger and faster the more it fights someone and that it knows how to counter his secret technique. Jotaro must intervene and defeats Chaka with difficulty. Polnareff tries to sheathe the sword but a policeman tries to confiscate it and Polnareff accidentally grabs the sword and is fully possessed by Anubis. Combining Silver Chariot with Anubis, Polnareff easily gets the better of Star Platinum but Jotaro has baited Anubis into stabbing his stomach. Anubis is immobilized and Jotaro reduces the sword to pieces. One of the bigger shards attempts a last assassination by possessing a nearby child but Iggy accidentally makes the boy trip, sending the sword into the Nile.

In Luxor, while Joseph and Avdol are attacked and isolated by Mariah, Polnareff and Jotaro decide to go look for them. The pair is followed by Alessi, another one of DIO's assassins. Polnareff sees Alessi and confronts him alone, testing whether he's a Stand user or not. Alessi sends his shadow Stand, Sethan, towards Polnareff who briefly touches it, but then the assassin runs away.

Polnareff pursues Alessi but soon notices that he's de-aged into a small boy whom even Jotaro doesn't recognize. Alessi corners Polnareff in an alley but thankfully he was born as a Stand user and thus had Silver Chariot as a child already. Silver Chariot is overpowered by Sethan but the latter breaks Chariot's rapier and accidentally sends the blade into Alessi's shoulder, driving him away. Polnareff then meets a kind woman who mistakes him for a lost child and takes him to her home. Polnareff and the woman go into the bathroom to get cleaned but Alessi reappears and makes the woman disappear. Alessi almost drowns Polnareff but the small boy kicks his feces into Alessi's face, making him drop Polnareff in disgust. Polnareff discovers with horror that the woman has been turned into a fetus that will die soon and Alessi comes forward to attack again. The boy takes the fetus and runs away, cornering himself in a small closet. Polnareff cannot escape but engineers his own hiding spot by hiding his head inside a balloon and his body behind a mirror plunged in an aquarium. When Alessi breaks in, Polnareff ambushes him and stabs his nose, making the assassin run and jump down a window; causing Alessi to meet Jotaro.

Jotaro is unaware of Alessi's true nature and despite Polnareff's warnings, is de-aged as well. However, Jotaro pummels Alessi with his own hands. Sethan's power is cancelled, Polnareff and Jotaro are free to summon their respective Stands at full power to finish off Alessi. Afterwards, Polnareff crosses path with the woman again. She senses some familiarity with Polnareff but the Frenchman reluctantly denies knowing her to prevent her from becoming a target. Guessing the situation, Jotaro takes the time to comfort Polnareff.

The Joestar Group arrives in Cairo and begins the search for DIO's Mansion. In a cafe of Cairo's outskirts, the group meets a peculiar card sharp man named Daniel J. D'Arby who claims to know about the mansion and asks the group to bet and win it. Frustrated by D'Arby, Polnareff angrily accepts to bet on which of two pieces of dried fish a nearby cat will catch first. Just before the cat sees the fish, D'Arby asks Polnareff to bet his soul and the Frenchman accepts, thinking D'Arby to be mad. Polnareff bets on the bigger piece of fish but he loses. At that moment, D'Arby's Stand, Osiris, appears to steal Polnareff's soul and effectively kills him. Polnareff stays dead until Jotaro manages to defeat D'Arby.

In the streets of Cairo, Polnareff senses someone trailing the group and confronts the enemy alone. He discovers Hol Horse and quickly dominates him then asks the gunman where is his partner, as Hol Horse wouldn't dare to fight the group alone. Polnareff notices Boingo's presence but is distracted, allowing Hol Horse to put his fingers in Polnareff's nose, confusing the gunman. Unfortunately for Hol Horse, the rest of the heroes come back toward Polnareff.

Hol Horse hides in a corner behind Polnareff and forces him to act as if nothing's wrong. Polnareff tries to signal the enemy with his tongue, unsuccessfully. Hol Horse discovers the ploy and almost kills Polnareff but the Frenchman sneezes, his nose having been irritated by Hol Horse earlier. Hol Horse is discovered and surrounded but a truck fortunately crashes into the group, taking most of them out. Hol Horse and Boingo hide again and see that Tohth predicts that Jotaro's face will be riddled with bullet at noon. Hol Horse hurriedly shoots into a network of pipes to shoot Jotaro from an unexpected angle, but as Jotaro tries to help Polnareff, the latter sneezes again. Jotaro backs away in disgust and evades the bullets, confusing Hol Horse. At the end, Hol Horse receives his own bullets in the face and is taken out while Iggy angrily defeats Boingo after the boy accidentally kicks a crate into him.

In the streets of Cairo, Polnareff clashes with a beggar because he is unknowingly taking his spot. Avdol intervenes on the beggar's behalf and explains how the beggar community is organized. The group decides to ask the beggar to find DIO's Mansion and the latter accepts. Humourously, the beggar reveals he's wearing a suit and has a luxurious car. While the group awaits, Iggy is fighting Pet Shop, the falcon guardian of the mansion.

After Iggy defeats Pet Shop and is saved, the Joestar Group reunites with the dog and Kakyoin. Iggy leads the group directly to DIO's Mansion and they begin their assault on the place. However, they are nearly immediately greeted by Telence T. D'Arby, the butler of the mansion and Daniel J. D'Arby's little brother. D'Arby reveals his Stand, Atum, and demonstrates his prowess by predicting and evading one of Jotaro's attacks. D'Arby then forcibly drags Jotaro, Joseph and Kakyoin into a hole that then disappears, splitting the group in two.

Polnareff, Avdol and Iggy wait a few minutes before deciding to enter the mansion. Discovering an impossible labyrinth, Avdol deploys a fire radar to detect a hidden enemy and Iggy swiftly defeats him. The illusion is dispelled, but then Vanilla Ice, one of DIO's most devout followers, ambushes the group. His Stand, Cream, can devour and send anything into a void dimension. Plus, Vanilla Ice can hide inside Cream's mouth and Cream can swallow itself to become an invisible void sphere, making the enemy nearly invincible. Vanilla Ice kills Avdol, who shoves his allies aside, and continues his assault.

Polnareff and Iggy are forced to retreat but are determined to fight, and thus run up to the first floor. Polnareff and Iggy try to trick Vanilla Ice with a DIO made of sand but he sees through the ploy and mortally wounds Iggy. Polnareff retaliates and Vanilla Ice hides in Cream's mouth again, but the Frenchman has the idea of scattering sand around the room to see the foe's position. He manages to ambush Ice and drives Silver Chariot's rapier in his mouth. However, Vanilla Ice refuses to die and threatens to break Silver Chariot's arm. Polnareff must push Ice away and is gravely crippled in the counterattack. He sends Silver Chariot to bring Iggy back to him, but he then notices that Ice is circling around him, shrinking the circle and slowly converging on Polnareff's position. Despite his best efforts, Polnareff is unable to avoid the incoming void sphere and says his goodbye to Iggy. However, Polnareff is actually saved by Iggy, who uses the last of his strength to lift Polnareff to the ceiling with The Fool. Iggy dies but gives Polnareff the opening to fatally wound Vanilla Ice. Ice stands back up but Polnareff has guessed that he's become a Vampire and thus exposes him to the sun to finish him off. Polnareff then briefly sees the spirit of Avdol and Iggy saluting him one last time before ascending to the heavens.

On the staircase leading up to the third floor, DIO confronts Polnareff. DIO tries to persuade Polnareff to join his side but Polnareff refuses. As he goes up the stairs to fight DIO, Polnareff suddenly finds himself at the bottom to which an amused DIO suggests that he subconsciously stepped back in fear. Nervous, Polnareff realizes that he's experiencing a glimpse of DIO's power and summons Silver Chariot to attack. In turn, DIO summons his Stand, The World. However, the clash is interrupted as the Joestar Group appears after destroying a wall, letting the sunlight in and making DIO retreat to the shadows.

Polnareff uses the respite to explain what he's experienced to the group. The group then follows Nukesaku up to the top of one of the tower in an empty chamber with a coffin at its center. The heroes force Nukesaku to open the coffin to attack but the Vampire suddenly finds himself in the same coffin, shredded to pieces. Sensing an incoming attack, the group jumps out of the window. As the sun sets, Polnareff disagrees with Joseph's decision to flee DIO until dawn as he wants to avenge Avdol and Iggy. While he leaves alone, Jotaro soon joins him.[4] Polnareff and Jotaro hijack a motorcycle and follow DIO as the Vampire pursues Joseph and Kakyoin. Jotaro and Polnareff split and the Frenchman lies in ambush. Jotaro and DIO fight, but Jotaro finds himself on the ground, gravely injured and trying play dead. As DIO approaches Jotaro to finish him off, Polnareff jumps down from one of the roofs and Silver Chariot stabs DIO in the head. Unfortunately, the blow lacks the force and precision to hit the brain stem and DIO stops time. DIO then punches Polnareff into a wall and almost finishes him off, forcing Jotaro to nearly ruin his cover in order to save Polnareff.

After DIO is killed, Polnareff parts with Jotaro and Joseph, refusing Joseph's offer to go to the US and instead going back to his motherland, France. The trio hugs a last time, exchanging banters until they go on their separate ways without looking back.

Sherry Polnareff: Not much has been shown of their relationship. However, it is fairly obvious that he loved her dearly. He spent years training his Silver Chariot and spent three years searching for the man who raped and murdered his sister who was J. Geil. He also carried a picture of her wherever he went. It is shown in flashbacks that he took care of her since she was young and was particularly close to her, especially since their mother died when he was three. When Cameo's Judgement claimed to be a Genie, Polnareff had him bring back his dead sister and when she was about to kill him, he initially could not fight back because he thought she was his sister.

Muhammad Avdol: Possibly his best friend throughout the journey, Polnareff initially met the fortune teller under DIO's control (as he had a flesh bud in his head) and challenged him to a battle. Avdol recognized his chivalrous soul and Polnareff was subsequently saved. Initially, Polnareff also thought less of Avdol when he learned that he ran from DIO rather than confront him, but Avdol's "sacrifice" considerably improved his view of him. After Avdol revealed he was alive, the two became great friends despite their opposite temperament. In fact a recurring theme for Avdol was that he often had to save Polnareff from danger such as with J. Geil and Hol Horse, Cameo with his stand Judgement, and Cream. During both Avdol's deaths, Polnareff deeply mourned the loss of his companion, and tried to wish for Avdol's return to life to Judgement. Iggy: The two initially did not get along since Polnareff woke him up after a bumpy flight. Polnareff disliked Iggy's cocky and demeaning attitude and antagonized him frequently, causing Polnareff to be Iggy's most common target when it came to getting bitten and farted on. Despite this, during their fight against Cream, Iggy sacrificed himself to save Polnareff. Polnareff deeply mourned his sacrifice, admitting he initially thought Iggy was a stubborn shitty mutt but grew to love how stubborn he was and how he didn't get close to humans because it showed how proud he was, and it was this determination that allowed him to beat Vanilla Ice.

Noriaki Kakyoin: The two were good friends and while not as close to him as he was to Avdol, the two greatly cared for each other and worked well together in battles, such as Polnareff's battle with J. Geil and when Joseph was infected by Lovers, Kakyoin and Polnareff worked together to defeat him. The two did have a brief falling out when Mannish Boy attacked the gang with Death Thirteen and Polnareff didn't believe Kakyoin when he said the baby was the stand user, believing the journey had taken its toll on Kakyoin and made him crazy. However, upon learning that Kakyoin was right, he genuinely apologized and the two have gotten along since. For example, when the two were in a sinking submarine, the two were still able to joke around with each other and do a manly handshake. At the end of their journey, Polnareff mourned his comrades, including Kakyoin. Jotaro Kujo: Polnareff and Jotaro were very close, their friendship being one of the few relationships for which Jotaro displayed open gestures of friendship such as comforting Polnareff when he rejected a possible love interest, and a teary farewell hug with him. By the time they got to Egypt, Polnareff's jolly temperament managed to make Jotaro appreciate him. Both respect each other as Stand users, Jotaro considering Silver Chariot dangerous enough so that he needs not restrain himself in a fight. Polnareff and Jotaro developed a habit to stick to each other, and Jotaro put himself at risk to save him from Anubis and DIO.

Joseph Joestar: The two got along well with Polnareff respecting Joseph's powers and authority and Joseph respecting Polnareff's abilities with Silver Chariot. While Polnareff had the least interaction with Joseph, it was evident the two got along such as joking with each other during the Death Thirteen and Oingo Boingo Brother arcs. Joseph tended to complain that Polnareff thought too much with his crotch and joked around too much, while Polnareff saw Joseph as sometimes silly and accident prone, (such as with the plane crash and when he tried riding a camel in the Sun arc). Nonetheless, Polnareff was willing to help out Joseph when he was attacked by Lovers and Joseph offered Polnareff a chance to come and live with him in America since he knew Polnareff had no one else back in France. Though Polnareff ultimately declined, he was grateful that Joseph offered him the chance and bid him a teary farewell. Malèna: A kind woman Polnareff met when he was de-aged by Alessi. She saw he was injured and took him to her house to take care of his wounds and clean him. Despite being a child, he was excited when she bathed him because of her beauty and the shared intimacy. When she was turned into a fetus by Alessi, he defeated Alessi to return her to normal. When she asked him where the child she saw was, rather than flirt with her, he pretended not to know because he didn't want to endanger her. It is obvious Polnareff developed genuine feelings for her.

J. Geil: As the man who raped and killed his sister, Polnareff greatly hated J. Geil and spent years searching for him to get his revenge, eventually joining the Joestar Group to help him. Upon encountering him and his partner Hol Horse in Calcutta, J. Geil sent out his Stand to kill Polnareff and his allies, taunting him of the deaths of his sister and Avdol while he is free to continue his crimes. Once Kakyoin exploited Hanged Man's weakness, Polnareff finally got his vengeance when he had Silver Chariot wound his Stand and repeatedly stab J. Geil to death. Hol Horse: Polnareff didn't think of much of Hol Horse initially, being only interested in the whereabouts of his partner J. Geil and underestimating his Stand. However, once Hol Horse seemingly killed Avdol with J Geil's help, Polnareff's enmity with the gunman grew, and took satisfaction in rubbing J. Geil's death in Hol Horse's face once he and Kakyoin returned. Devo the Cursed: Polnareff and Devo met as enemies, and while Polnareff initially thought little of Devo since he saw him as ignorant for leaving himself open, the shaman exploited his growing hatred of Polnareff after Silver Chariot injured him, fueling the power of Ebony Devil. Through the doll, Devo trapped Polnareff in his room and sadistically toyed with him while throwing vulgar taunts. Even when Polnareff managed to inflict a critical wound, Devo still mocked Polnareff for the last time before being torn apart.

Boingo: While Polnareff never directly interacted with Boingo, the latter along with his brother Oingo sought to assassinate him along with the rest of the Joestar Group, which became personal once the brothers were hospitalized. Teaming up with Hol Horse to kill the Joestar Group again to get revenge for Oingo in Cairo, Boingo nearly found himself in Polnareff's crosshairs when he noticed the boy's hand slipping into the crate he's hiding in while confronting Hol Horse. Once his prediction failed and Hol Horse is incapacitated, Boingo ceased all hostilities with Polnareff and his allies. Anubis: Anubis was one of many assassins sent by DIO to kill the group. Originally, Polnareff thought Anubis was merely a sword while confronting his thralls, but realized the threat he was when the sword revealed its abilities. Anubis later possessed Polnareff, combining his experience and Silver Chariot's swordsmanship to battle Jotaro. Alessi: Originally Polnareff saw Alessi as another enemy, but after he changed Polnareff into a child and tried to kill Malèna, Polnareff grew to despise Alessi. After turning back into an adult, Polnareff pummeled Alessi along with Jotaro. Vanilla Ice: Polnareff first encountered Vanilla Ice when he murdered Avdol with his Stand and planned on killing him and Iggy next. Initially running for his life blaming himself for Avdol's death, Polnareff's fear turned into hatred, determined to kill Vanilla Ice. Throughout the fight, Polnareff's anger boiled over fruitlessly attempting to kill Vanilla Ice while sustaining crippling wounds and helplessly seeing him beat Iggy to death. After being saved by a dying Iggy from Vanilla Ice's assault, Polnareff avenged his friends by stabbing the Vampire repeatedly before forcing him into the sunlight.

DIO: Like Kakyoin, he too met DIO and was placed under his control. After having his Flesh Bud removed by Jotaro, Polnareff decided to join the team, though at first for his own goals, as Polnareff theorized that DIO would know where his sister's killer would be. Even after he avenged her sister's death, Polnareff chose to stay with the group to defeat DIO. After the deaths of both Avdol and Iggy, Polnareff vowed to defeat DIO no matter what.

A Stand is a physical manifestation of a person's "life energy".

A Stand is an entity psychically generated by its owner, referred to as a Stand user. It generally presents itself as an ethereal figure hovering over or near the user and possesses abilities beyond that of an ordinary human, which, depending on the Stand user, can be wielded for good or evil.

Stands are defined as personifications of "life energy" whose abilities are given visual form. When first presented, the term is written as 幽波紋スタンド, with furigana added to change the pronunciation of what literally means "ghostly Hamon" in kanji. According to Joseph Joestar, the name "Stand" comes from the fact the vast majority of Stands usually manifest themselves standing next to the user: ready to act on their command.

To an extent, a Stand embodies the individual's psyche, usually as the representation of their user's "fighting spirit". However, the will required to manifest a Stand doesn't need to be confrontational, deriving from any exploration of the mind's possibilities, be it mastery of a craft, strong desire or even personal crises. Beyond that definition, Stands present themselves in a large variety of forms and with different behaviors, if they are sentient at all. They follow a loose set of rules, with no definite standard by which one can fully classify them. As an embodiment of someone's psyche, Stands are therefore as varied as human minds can be.

Due to their diversity, Stands are not made equal. Some can be incredibly powerful due to their user's outstanding grit, others can be highly situational because of a defining quirk of character, or even detrimental to their user if they do not have the necessary fighting spirit.

When Stands were first introduced in Stardust Crusaders, they were named after Major Arcana of the Tarot and then Ancient Egyptian deities, with their designs often featuring motifs of those cards or mythological figures. Towards the end of Stardust Crusaders and in all subsequent story arcs, Stand names are references to musicians, bands, albums, and songs from American, Australian, British, and European music scenes; only one Stand's name has ever referenced Japanese music.

The Stand is created from someone's psyche, which includes not only humans but also other living creatures. That individual is referred to as the Stand user. The user then gives their Stand a name and uses it for various purposes.

Unless bound to a specific object or automatic, Stands are attached to their user's body. In that case, any damage the Stand sustains results in an equivalent injury on the user's body and vice-versa. Exceptions to this rule include automatic Stands and bound Stands, which usually do not reflect the damage into the user, or special abilities like Silver Chariot's armor.

Since a Stand is the form of its user's psyche, they share an intimate psychic bond. First and foremost, Stands usually obey their users' command without question. If a user demands it, the Stand will perform any task within its capacities, which includes attacking someone, defending the user, or any miscellaneous order. In the case a Stand is sentient, they can occasionally advise their user that an order is unwise but will carry it on all the same. Stands are also shown to protect their users in certain instances, such as when Jotaro tries to shoot himself

However, there are instances when a Stand cannot be controlled by the user. It can be either automatic like Super Fly or the user can acquire a Stand but not have the fighting spirit to control it like Holy Kujo. In both cases, a Stand can accidentally work against its user's interests through their unsupervised power. However, specifically in the second case, a Stand can go out of control and slowly kill its user like a disease. According to Muhammad Avdol, the user becomes ill, then falls into a coma only to never wake up again; moreover, such occurrences are common enough for him to claim having witnessed many people succumbing to this.

To use a Stand, the user has to consciously summon it. Likewise, to use its power, the user has to command their Stand. Thus, Stand users are still vulnerable to sneak attacks. This does not apply to automatic Stands which act by themselves.

Stands present themselves in a wide variety of forms. Some adopt a humanoid form, others, the appearance of an object or a tool. These Stands all share an inability to be viewed by ordinary humans, unless bound to physical objects. In addition, some Stands can simply be devoid of appearance, simply manifesting themselves as a special power.

Stands can be divided into 5 trends based on their physical appearance. The first four are categorized using the following descriptors: Natural (lit. Living/Natural Things), Artificial (Artificial/Mechanism), Humanoid and Non-Humanoid. A fifth category, referred to as Phenomenon or Other, exists to encompass all Stands that do not fit into any of the previous trends.

Natural Humanoid – Stands in this category have physical characteristics similar to human beings, most often their users. Obvious identifiable features include arms and legs, but the category distinctly specifies appendages that are reminiscent of the human muscular system as well as having working eyes and mouth. Stands that apply to this category include Star Platinum, Magician's Red, Hanged Man, The World

Artificial Humanoid – While also having humanoid-like bodies, Stands in this category feature artificial or mechanical nuances that separate them from natural humanoids. This includes having completely non-humanoid facial features, tubing or mechanical joints. Appearances that resemble robots, cyborgs or androids are applicable here. Examples of Artificial Humanoids include Hierophant Green, Silver Chariot, Ebony Devil, Death Thirteen, Osiris, Cream

Natural Non-Humanoid – This category features Stands that, while not human-like, are reminiscent of other life forms or objects in nature. This includes basic organisms such as animals and plants, but also more unorthodox concepts such as fog. Stands that may be described as "monster-like" are often applicable here. Stands in this category include Hermit Purple, Tower of Gray, Yellow Temperance, Lovers, Justice, Sun, Horus.

Artificial Non-Humanoid – Stands comparable to instruments or mechanical objects are placed in this category. This includes vehicles, weapons, and machines. Stands in this category include Strength, Emperor, Wheel of Fortune, The Fool

Phenomenon – Stands in this category typically either don't have clear appearances or are integrated into their user's appearance. This includes Stands such as Tohth, Khnum, Tenore Sax.

A Stand's appearance is not set in stone. Stands change appearance as their users age. As seen with Jean Pierre Polnareff's Silver Chariot or Jobin Higashikata's Speed King, young Stand users have typically childlike Stands and when they become adults, the Stands' features also become adult-like. A special category of Stands that can evolve into different forms or Acts, is also able to change form and therefore appearance.

When a Stand is injured, they may either bleed like an organic being, crumble into ashes, fizzle out in flashes of light, or break into small pieces like a statue.

Hirohiko Araki stated that Silver Chariot's design was created as a combination of a robot with European armor. It is a slightly thin, robotic humanoid. It is usually clad in silver, heavy plate armor all over its body, giving it a bulkier look. This armor also has spiked shoulder pads and elbow pads. Silver Chariot has a distinctive helmet with a jewel embedded in the forehead and several pointed down projections protecting its mouth and cheeks.

It almost constantly wields a cup-hilted rapier which closely resembles a fencing saber. However, its rapier can be unequipped if the Stand needs to use both hands.

During Polnareff's fight with Vanilla Ice, Cream annihilates a portion of Silver Chariot's left thigh and its left ring and pinky finger, though these injuries seem to fixed by the time of Part 5. After fighting Diavolo in the late nineties, Silver Chariot loses its legs and right forearm. They are replaced with metal spike-like appendages.

Silver Chariot is a powerful, battle-dedicated close-range Stand that primarily fights with the rapier/saber it is equipped with.

It is an incredibly agile Stand, and it usually relies on attacking enemies with barrages of sword slashes and thrusts before the opponent can react. It can also use this agility, along with its sword, to defend and deflect attacks aimed at it or its user. Silver Chariot usually doesn't stray far away from Polnareff, but still has the ability to move several meters away from him to attack. Silver Chariot has the distinct weakness of, unlike some other stands, not being able to see whatever its user cannot see, making it weak if Polnareff is in a blind spot.

Speed: Silver Chariot is an incredibly quick Stand. Its speed is high enough that it's able to deflect bullets shot at a point-blank range, block light ray energy shots of the Sun, and intercept Hanged Man multiple times who is stated to travel between reflective surfaces at the speed of light. As it is weighed down by its armor, Silver Chariot can increase its speed even further by shedding its armor to reach its full potential. In this state, Silver Chariot is able to appear in multiple places at once, due to moving at a speed faster than the human eye can process, thus creating illusory afterimages. While wielding Anubis, it is capable of matching Star Platinum and its barrage of punches, and Jotaro states that Silver Chariot is a Stand he needed to go all out against.

Power: Even though the majority of Silver Chariot's power is in its astonishing speed, it still has great destructive power, as it is able to instantly slice through solid rock and concrete with ease. It was even shown able to shake the entirety of DIO's Mansion when Polnareff was sent into a fit of rage. However, Silver Chariot's lifting strength is portrayed inconsistently. It is first shown to be able to lift Polnareff against Muhammad Avdol but then shown to be barely strong enough to slowly pull its user against Vanilla Ice, although this might be because Polnareff was very injured at that point.  Precision: Silver Chariot's speed is perhaps only matched by its precision. Having trained his Stand for several years, Polnareff has enough control over Silver Chariot's movement to be able to fight like an experienced fencer, to slice through a bullet, or skewer several coins and balls of fire in a single thrust when they align. Its swordsmanship was also shown in its first fight with Anubis, a Stand which not only gives its user expert skills with a sword, but consistently increases its skill during and after a battle.

Hora Rush: Hora Rush is Silver Chariot's Stand rush. With its incredible speed and precision, it is capable of delivering a barrage of slashes and thrusts from its sword, either to incapacitate an enemy or demolish objects.

Armor: Silver Chariot's most unique property is being clad in a set of silver armor that it can unequip. The armor lowers its speed, but also prevents it from being injured, as Polnareff does not receive the same injuries that the armor does as long as it's donned. The armor is even shown to be capable of withstanding extreme heat without melting, but will be damaged by certain attacks such as Cream's void. This ability's drawback seems to be Polnareff's inability to see through Silver Chariot's eyes. Polnareff is able to shed Silver Chariot's armor in order to reach its top speed (enough for multiple afterimages to appear), but doing so renders his Stand more vulnerable to attack as a trade-off.

Sword Launch: If Silver Chariot is ever in a situation with a severe range disadvantage, Polnareff can use its only ranged and secret technique to launch the blade of his sword. This launch is extremely powerful and precise, capable of ricocheting off other objects and striking with enough force to pierce a human body. The major drawback of doing this is that Silver Chariot can only materialize one sword, so Polnareff must retrieve the weapon before being able to attack again.
