Johnny's Unique Nail-Shooting Technique: A Curious Case

Johnny has the ability to shoot his fingernails as bullets with enhanced destructive power. This ability is called Tusk and is awakened when Johnny's left hand combines with the corpse part. ACT1 allows Johnny to spin his nails and fire them akin to bullets, and regrow his nails in seconds. ACT2 allows Johnny to shoot a nail while incorporating the Spin's Golden Rectangle and ACT3 allows Johnny to transfer parts of his body through the holes to shoot from different directions.

How Johnny's nails spin around his fingers

Johnny's nails spin around his fingers when he activates Tusk, which is a direct upgrade to ACT1. ACT1 is awakened in the Devil's Palm when the corpse part combines itself with Johnny's left hand, manifesting his Stand with the ability to spin his nails and fire them akin to bullets, and regrowing his nails in seconds. ACT2 manifests when Johnny shoots a nail while incorporating the Spin's Golden Rectangle in a fight against Sandman. ACT3 is the final "base" form for Tusk and manifests when Johnny shoots himself with a Golden Rectangle-empowered nail, enabling him to transfer parts of his body through the holes to shoot from different directions.

When Johnny activates Tusk, the fingernails now rotate around his fingers like axes. Thus, when he shoots the fingernails, they possess a drilling property, which dramatically increases the power of the shots. For instance, one shot is able to blast away a large zone on impact.

When Johnny shoots himself with a Spin-imbued fingernail with axial rotation, he is able to suck his body into the hole it creates. The hole created by the nail shot, specifically the infinitely small rotating point at the end of the hole, becomes a special space which, due to the infinite proportion of Johnny's spin, is also infinite and becomes a wormhole through space. A tailpiece theorizes the space as a boundary between dimensions. Johnny alone can enter that "location" and anything other than him will be cut. This ability is limited by how long the holes can persist in the world.

When Johnny shoots a fingernail with axial rotation, the fingernail takes several minutes to grow back; however, Johnny discovers that by munching herbs or drinking tea, among others mint and chamomile, he can accelerate the growing process.

Johnny can keep the nails spinning around his fingers without actually firing them. He is mostly seen using this for mundane tasks like brushing his teeth, grating cheese and wrapping spaghetti around his fingers.

How the nails are imbued with Spin

Johnny imbues his fingernails with spin by activating Tusk, which enhances the basic properties of his shots. When Johnny activates Tusk, the fingernails now rotate around his fingers like axes. Thus, when he shoots the fingernails, they possess a drilling property, which dramatically increases the power of the shots. For instance, one shot is able to blast away a large zone on impact.

When Johnny shoots a nail whilst incorporating the Spin's Golden Rectangle in a fight against Sandman, ACT2 manifests. ACT2 is a direct upgrade to ACT1 and allows Johnny to fare better in combat but limits the number of nails at his disposition.

Like with Tusk ACT1, Johnny can keep the nails spinning around his fingers without actually firing them. He is mostly seen using this for mundane tasks like brushing his teeth, grating cheese and wrapping spaghetti around his fingers.

How the nails are fired akin to bullets

Johnny's ability to shoot his fingernails akin to bullets is a result of his stand called Tusk. When Johnny activates Tusk, his fingernails rotate around his fingers like axes and possess a drilling property, which dramatically increases the power of the shots. For instance, one shot is able to blast away a large zone on impact.

The spin is a key component of Johnny's ability to shoot his fingernails. It is something that harnesses the energy given off of the gravitational forces when you spin something super fast allowing you to do magical stuff.

When Johnny shoots himself with a Spin-imbued fingernail with axial rotation, the hole created by the nail shot, specifically the infinitely small rotating point at the end of the hole, becomes a special space which, due to the infinite proportion of Johnny's spin, is also infinite and becomes a wormhole through space.

The holes created by the nail shots are by definition void and there isn't anything to send away. However, the holes follow the target for a small amount of time and Johnny alone can enter that "location".

The enhanced destructive power and new properties to its nail bullets, Tusk ACT2 is a direct upgrade to ACT1. It allows Johnny to fare better in combat but limits the number of nails at his disposition.

How the nails create wormholes

Johnny's ability to shoot his fingernails is a result of harnessing the energy given off by gravitational forces when you spin something super fast. This allows him to shoot his fingernails with axial rotation, which drills through the target and sucks his body into the hole it creates. The hole created by the nail shot, specifically the infinitely small rotating point at the end of the hole, becomes a special space which, due to the infinite proportion of Johnny's spin, is also infinite and becomes a wormhole through space.

How the nails can be used to transfer parts of the body

Johnny can shoot his fingernails with axial rotation and imbue them with Spin. This allows him to transfer parts of his body through the holes created by the nail shots.

When Johnny activates Tusk, the fingernails now rotate around his fingers like axes. Thus, when he shoots the fingernails, they possess a drilling property, which dramatically increases the power of the shots. For instance, one shot is able to blast away a large zone on impact.

When Johnny shoots a nail whilst incorporating the Spin's Golden Rectangle in a fight against Sandman, ACT2 manifests. Despite the longer regrow time, the nails possess more power and a new ability that lets the holes of the bullets follow the target for a small amount of time.

When Johnny shoots himself with a Golden Rectangle-empowered nail, ACT3 is the final "base" form for Tusk and manifests. This enables him to transfer parts of his body through the holes to shoot from different directions.
