History: This unnamed Stand appears in the unfinished light novel The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp. This is the only time this Stand has ever been seen.
History of Creation: The unnamed Stand was created by the author, Otsuichi, who would only release the first chapter of Nicolaes Tulp, only to scrap the idea and instead write The Book: Fourth Another Day.
Ability: The Stand allows Kaoru to manifest and absorb objects under his skin, which he has to cut open to obtain.
The subject of the dissection and centre of focus is a common criminal. Rembrandt chose the moment when Dr. Tulp dissected the forearm of the corpse to illustrate the muscle structure. The painting is anatomically incorrect, but Rembrandt focuses instead on displaying psychological intensity. The eager inquisitiveness of the onlookers is striking, as is their proximity to the corpse, given the stench that must have accompanied such dissections.
The staged nature of this painting suggests that public dissections were considered “performances.” There is also a moral message connecting criminality and sin to dissection.
[ID: Digital art based on ‘The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp’ by Rembrandt, depicting the anatomy class from MAG 034. At the right of the image, Dr Lionel Elliott sits by an examination table, wearing a collared shirt with the sleeves rolled up, reading glasses, and blue nitrile gloves. He holds a scalpel in one hand. On the table, there is a hairless cadaver, with post-mortem lividity down one side of its body, with its eyes and mouth slightly open. The rest of the image is dominated by seven students, who all wear white shirts and blue jeans. Their necks are all conspicuously slightly too long, and their skin and hair are all in tones unrealistically bright and saturated, with each wearing unconvincing smiles and looking at the viewer, except for one student who looks with great interest at the torso of the cadaver, and another student who looks intently at Dr Elliott. In her hand there is a sheet of paper on which are written notes. There is the heading “the insides” in all-caps, underneath which are written “gooey”, “survivable if missing (?)”, and “recyclable :)”. One of the figures matches the description of Not!Graham given in MAG 003, and one of them has transfigured his hand to resemble the hand of the cadaver. End ID.]

Rembrandt van Rijn (Dutch, 1606-1669) • The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp • 1632 • The Hague, Netherlands
Italian and Spanish Baroque art was largely religious and mythological. The northern Baroque painters of Holland and Germany, however, tended toward scenes of daily life and portraits. Their art was secular due to Prostistanism, which prohibited the veneration of religious images.
Rembrandt van Rijn was one of the most celebrated artists of the Dutch Baroque. His masterful treatment of light and shadow earned him great respect as a painter. He received many commissions from organizations who requested group portraits of its members. Rembrandt’s remarkable sense of composition allowed him to arrange multiple figures without compromising any subject's visibility.
The painting The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp was commissioned by the Amsterdam Guild of Surgeons. The archives preserved the names of every person in the painting, even that of the dead man depicted being dissected by Doctor Tulp. The man, Aris Kindt, was a criminal sentenced to death for armed robbery. It was common for authorities to relinquish the bodies of deceased criminals to medical students and it mostly took place in fall and winter to avoid rapid decay.

History: Yawar Fiesta is the Stand of the secondary ally Pisco. Pisco views his Stand as a curse due to its ability, which causes him pain.
History of creation: Yawar Fiesta was created for the light novel Las Extranas Adventuras de JOJO: El Aleph. It first appears in Chapter 14.
Appearance: Yawar Fiesta is described as looking like the skeleton of a Seahorse made of lead pipes. It has glass eyes, a funnel-like mouth, and four legs. Pisco thinks that the Stand smiles.
Ability: Whenever Pisco makes physical contact with an object, organic or not, and the object has contact with his blood, Yawar Fiesta will cause a copy of the object to randomly appear under Pisco's skin as a stone, similar to kidney stones. This causes his body to be covered in painful, tumour-like nodules under his skin. This can happen even with objects that came into contact with his blood in the past. With help from Lisa Lisa, Pisco discovers that he can use Yawar Fiesta to extract the stones from his body and expel them as the objects they were initially. Yawar Fiesta is implied to also have the ability to predict the future.
Trivia: This ability resembles the unnamed Stand from the cancelled light novel The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp.
