C-MOON: The Gravity-Defying Stand Explained
C-MOON is a powerful and enigmatic Stand from the popular manga and anime series JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean. Its core ability revolves around the manipulation of gravity. Specifically, C-MOON can alter the direction of gravitational pull around itself, effectively changing how objects and people experience gravity. This allows it to not only shift gravity’s pull but also to invert it on targeted objects, turning them completely inside-out with devastating consequences. This ability makes it a formidable close to medium range stand, capable of winning battles with a single punch.
The Abilities of C-MOON
Gravity Manipulation
The primary function of C-MOON is the control of gravity. This isn’t just about lifting or pushing objects; it’s about changing the fundamental force that holds the world together. C-MOON can alter the direction of gravitational pull within a 2-mile radius. This could mean making objects fall upwards, sideways, or even in a swirling vortex. This manipulation is not a passive effect, but rather is consciously controlled by the user.
Inside-Out Attacks
C-MOON’s most dangerous ability is its capacity to reverse gravity on a target. When it attacks with a punch, the effect doesn’t simply apply a force but rather reverses the way gravity interacts with that object. This results in the target being turned inside-out. For living beings, this is incredibly lethal, often resulting in instant death. For example, even a glancing blow could be fatal, inverting an opponent’s heart and other organs instantaneously. This is why, despite its “Null” strength stat, C-MOON is far from weak. Its power lies in the inherent destructive capability of this inversion.
Short Burst Time Manipulation
Due to the fundamental connection between time and gravity, C-MOON possesses the ability to momentarily enter Jotaro Kujo’s stopped time. This ability is not a consistent time stop but rather a fraction of a moment where Pucci can briefly move. This provides a strategic advantage, allowing Pucci to make slight movements or adjustments within the time stop.
The Origin of C-MOON
C-MOON is not a stand that existed from the beginning, but an evolution of the stand Whitesnake. The process occurred after Whitesnake merged with the Green Baby. The Green Baby, a being born from DIO’s bone and the souls of criminals, provided the necessary power to transform the Whitesnake into C-MOON. C-MOON’s appearance is a fusion of Whitesnake and the Green Baby’s features, giving it a unique look, often compared to Darth Maul from the Star Wars franchise.
C-MOON’s Evolution Path
C-MOON is itself a stepping stone on the path to an even more powerful Stand, Made in Heaven. To achieve Made in Heaven, Pucci needed to understand the relationship between gravity and time. C-MOON’s gravity-manipulating abilities played a vital role in this process of understanding and ultimately evolving the Stand. This entire evolution is core to Pucci’s plan to reshape reality.
C-MOON’s Weaknesses
Despite its strength, C-MOON does have vulnerabilities. It is primarily a close to medium range stand, making it less effective at longer ranges. Jolyne Cujoh, the protagonist of Stone Ocean, developed a unique counter to C-MOON’s inside-out attacks. By using her string ability to transform parts of her body into Möbius strips, she created a surface that cannot be inverted. This negated the effects of C-MOON’s most deadly attack on her.
C-MOON in JORGE JOESTAR
It’s also important to note that C-MOON has an enhanced version that appears in the light novel JORGE JOESTAR. C-MOON Ultimate Requiem is the evolution of Kars’s Whitesnake Ultimate when he is pierced by the Stand Arrow. This version of the Stand demonstrates that C-MOON’s power can be even further amplified.

2. Is C-MOON in Roblox unbreakable?
C-MOON has appeared in various Roblox games. However, its in-game capabilities and ‘unbreakableness’ depend entirely on the specific game’s mechanics and its implementation of C-MOON’s abilities.
3. How did Pucci get C-MOON?
Pucci acquired C-MOON by fusing the Green Baby with his Stand, Whitesnake. This fusion granted him the ability to manipulate gravity.
4. How physically strong is C-MOON?
While C-MOON has a “Null” strength stat, it is not physically weak. Instead, its power comes from its ability to invert targets, making every punch potentially lethal.
5. What are the intentions of C-MOON’s user?
Pucci intends to reshape reality in accordance to his understanding of the world and his interpretation of God’s plan. His actions and the powers of his Stands are all in service of this goal.
6. Who can defeat C-MOON?
Jolyne Cujoh has shown an effective counter to C-MOON’s inversion ability by using her string power. Other Stands with abilities that negate C-MOON’s specific powers could potentially defeat it as well.
7. What powers does C-MOON possess?
C-MOON’s primary powers are gravity manipulation and the ability to turn objects inside out by reversing the pull of gravity on them. It can alter the direction of gravity within a 2-mile radius.
8. How did Jolyne counter C-MOON?
Jolyne used her string ability to turn parts of her body into Möbius strips, which are resistant to being turned inside out, thus negating C-MOON’s attack.
9. How fast is Made in Heaven compared to C-MOON?
Made in Heaven has infinite speed as it manipulates time. In comparison, C-MOON does not have this capacity, and only has an extremely brief capacity to enter time-stopped state.
10. How did Whitesnake turn into C-MOON?
Whitesnake transformed into C-MOON through the process of fusing with the Green Baby. This fusion resulted in the gravity-manipulating stand.
11. How does C-MOON control time?
C-MOON doesn’t have full time-control abilities. Instead, it’s capacity to surpass the boundaries of gravity, allows it a brief moment within Jotaro’s stopped time.
12. Is C-MOON a new Stand?
C-MOON is an evolved form of Whitesnake, making it an intermediary step on the path to Made in Heaven, and not a new stand from scratch.
13. Is C-MOON a Requiem Stand?
The version of C-MOON that appears in the light novel JORGE JOESTAR is the C-MOON Ultimate Requiem. This is an enhanced form of C-MOON.
14. Does C-MOON affect the whole world?
C-MOON’s effects are localized and affect anything that comes into physical contact or proximity to Pucci. It does not accelerate time on a global scale.
15. Can Pucci switch back to C-MOON?
No, once Pucci achieved Made in Heaven, C-MOON was no longer usable. C-MOON was a direct result of a fusion of White Snake and the Green Baby which no longer exists, which makes it unable to revert back to.
In conclusion, C-MOON is a highly formidable and strategically complex Stand, boasting powerful gravity manipulation and a lethal inside-out attack capability. Understanding the intricacies of its abilities is essential for understanding the dynamics of the battles in Stone Ocean and its connection to the wider JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure universe.
