ACT1 made appearances after Josuke's fight against Akira Otoishi and Koichi.
However, when Koichi was kidnapped by Yukako, although ACT1's long range and power allowed Koichi to contact Josuke, it was too weak against Yukako's willpower. Koichi would then use it a second time against Surface and Hazamada to fool them into thinking Josuke really pierced his own eye and then fool Hazamada into taking a detour and let Josuke join with Jotaro first. It obeys its master's command and sometimes lets out a small growl.ĪCT1 hatched from its egg during Koichi's fight with Tamami, and although it was weak, its strange power easily subdued Tamami. Its most common color scheme is green and black spots.ĪCT1 doesn't have a full-fledged personality. The third section is equipped with a set of small wheels and a large serpentine tail with a dark belly and a clearer back covered in swirling spots and at whose end is a metallic rattle. The second section is a shelled torso with a dark belly. The head is covered with a shell on top of which a spike is visible, and the face is nearly entirely covered by metallic blinkers, only leaving a small beak visible. Its oversized first section serves as a head and two small shelled arms are attached to it.
