Soap Bubble Boy was good

Every time I saw the bubbles

rough sable
#

Why hate bubbles

mild crown
#

I went wth Araki

#

That's not threatening

#

Not

#

Menacing

void spire

im not gonna lie the the Bloody Stream animation made me think someone was high making it

rough sable
#

It's called bizarre for a reason

#

Also they're Hamon bubbles
Very danger

Such Bubble

sometimes i call hamon, “breathing but better”

rough sable
#

So Italian

mild crown
#

OMG

How Italians use breathing techniques

void spire
#

i once overthiught why its called stands thinking “but they can summon in while sitting so whys it called stands” then i gave up

#

Too Deep A Question

void spire

It's a stand-in?

gloomy hull

H a

void spire

#

my one wish for a stand design is a chair

Not actually meant to be a joke

#

So kakyoin is one of the most popular crusaders?

rough sequoia
#

Yes

fluid forge
#

The most popular crusader is Jotaro

#

But Kakyoin is a fan favorite along with Polnareff

full plaza
#

l love every one of them

fluid forge
#

I don't lol

#

Not a big fan of Polnareff

#

I love Silver Chariot but not the user

full plaza
#

he's my least fave but l still love him deep down

rough sable
#

Same Scal

cedar kayak
#

I love them all equally except for kakyoin who I would give my liver for

desert pivot
#

[This is actually spoilers if you didn't watch the whole thing.]
Is Kakyoin actually dead? Because it showed everyone else's soul who died, even Iggy's, but not Kakyoin's.

rough sable
#

Yep. Unfortunately, he's totally dead.

eager sierra
#

kakyoin died like a motherfucker

#

I wish Kenny G's stand name was "Hotel California"

#

get it?

gloomy hull
#

Yes

mild furnace
#

the stand ability

#

and the song

sonic fern
full plaza
#

look at that mouth

nocturne pulsar
#

Every character's mouth is like that though.

#

It looks so badly animated.

#

It's funny because it looks great in the English dub since in Engish dubs they reanimate the lip flaps to sync to what they're saying.

strong gale
#

Was the Stardust Crusaders manga that different from the previous two arcs to where they needed to completely change the animation to where everyone has doorbell shoulders and awful facial lines????

nocturne pulsar
#

Every JoJo part has it's own artstyle.

#

Except Part 7 & 8 which are the same.

fluid forge
#

They're not the same lol

#

The latter of part 7 bleeds into part 8

#

But the beginning of 7 doesn't look like how the end does

#

Araki's art style changes not just between parts, but as the parts progress

nocturne pulsar
#

For the anime series, they're also doing that. Making an art style for each part (except 1 & 2 since they're in the same series), using character designs taken from the end on their manga arcs to keep consistent character designs.

#

There we go. That's a better explanation, that Miko gave.

desert pivot
nova sonnet
#

.> not really but he was definitely dumbed down

steady oak
#

He had to play the part of weird grandpa

rough sable
#

He had the same silly personality in part 2 tho

nova sonnet
#

he kicked ass in part 2 tho and he could outsmart people easily

#

not so much in part 3 :/

#

apart from empress he didn't really get to shine a lot

rough sable
#

Well it wasn't his place to shine, really

nova sonnet
#

yeah...

desert pivot
#

@nova sonnet I really can't see how he wasn't shat on. I mean you even said he got dumbed down.

#

Hermit Purple was the weakest stand!

nova sonnet
#

He wasn't really treated that bad

#

and yeah, he deserved a better stand

#

I still don't get why him and Jonathan have those useless purple vines

#

ffs

desert pivot
#

I really can't see how he wasn't shat on in any way.

nova sonnet
#

The Sun

#

desert pivot
#

Taiyō
太陽

fluid forge
#

They have those stands because that's what Hamon looks like as a stand

nova sonnet
#

TAIYOKEN

#

Can't have both Hamon proficiency and a powerful stand eh

fluid forge
#

Not everyone needs to have stands that fight, you know

#

Utility can be just as important

rough sequoia
#

Like Rohan

nova sonnet
#

Joseph literally died against the guy he was supposed to take down

steady oak
#

There's quite a few in p6 that don't fight

rough sable
#

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

nova sonnet
#

Joseph didn't have enough raw power

rough sable
#

Also p8. One of the main characters has a cool-ass Stand which isn't combat-type

nova sonnet
#

hermit purple barely has any utility tho

steady oak
#

He can swing from tree to tree

hard acorn
#

apparently hermit purple first manifested in jospeh's fight with kars when his hand was somehow drawn towards the red stone of aja

rough sequoia
#

Hermit can show where a person is

nova sonnet
#

Joseph is too old to act like a monkey

#

🐒

rough sable
#

Spying on people is pretty useful

#

He's not?

nova sonnet
#

👀

steady oak
#

Breaking cameras is not useful

rough sable
#

He's super strong and vital

fluid forge
#

He only breaks stuff because he's not good at using it lol

rough sable
#

He's silly. He's always been silly. He's the same silly dude who introduced himself to the first Pillar Man he saw like a school girl.

steady oak
#

I'm sure he could just hit the button with his stand to take pictures, but whatever.

nova sonnet
#

Is part 2 Joseph physically stronger than Jotaro

#

?

rough sable
#

LMAO how are we supposed to know the answer to that seriously

steady oak
#

Physically? Probably

rough sequoia
#

Yes

#

Since Joseph punched a cop so hard his hand went through his nose

nova sonnet
#

Jotaro looks tough as nails

steady oak
#

Joseph actually did training whereas Jotaro is just strong from bloodline and streetfights

nova sonnet
#

forgot to mention that I was specifically referring to ep 10 joseph

#

before undergoing any serious hamon training

rough sequoia
#

Yes I’d say

steady oak
#

Hmm.... I'd say par level then.

rough sable
#

It's difficult to say I mean this is all just a speculation, you're not gonna get a definitive answer

#

He was 2 years older than Jotaro at that time, but idk if that plays any role

steady oak
#

Not much. Erina would probably keep Joseph from doing bad things like fighting.

nova sonnet
#

B-but age in jojo is... YasuhoDisgust

steady oak
#

Whereas holly didn't have much of a leash on Jotaro and he did what he wanted

nova sonnet
#

Jotaro has the edge

#

on this one

fluid forge
#

Joseph was a shithead but he rarely disobeyed Erina

steady oak
#

If anything, Jotaro might be slightly more combat skilled than Joseph, pre-hamon training.

fluid forge
#

If she told him to do something and he didn't want to do it, he'd probably whine but just do it

#

Jotaro was a little punk when he was a kid

rough sable
#

He had nobody to keep him in line

fluid forge
#

But a big difference is Jotaro never had a dad

rough sequoia
#

But Joseph does still has his predictions and tricks

fluid forge
#

While Joseph's dad was dead, Speedwagon probably filled in that paternal role quite often

nova sonnet
#

no tricks and weapons

#

good old fist fight

rough sable
#

Jotaro is most likely just as perceptive, though. Joseph just voices it out loud

fluid forge
#

Jotaro literally had no father figure that we know of

nova sonnet
#

What about Joseph?

fluid forge
#

It fucks kids up when they grow up without a parent

nova sonnet
#

Oh yeah speedwagon

fluid forge
#

I just said Speedwagon lol

nova sonnet
#

yeah srry didn't notice

fluid forge
#

Like I'm not saying Speedwagon always acted like his dad though

nova sonnet
#

but speedwagon filled the gramps role

steady oak
#

The needwagon for speedwagon

fluid forge
#

But he still could have filled that spot in

#

Not necessarily?

#

I mean yeah Erina was Joseph's grandma, but she raised him from infancy

steady oak
#

Just having a male figure in his life made things better

nova sonnet
#

I can't believe that speedwagon didn't get to pass down his genes

rough sable
#

He was still a father figure of sorts and Erina was strict, too. Whereas Jotaro only had Holly. And we know what she was like.

fluid forge
#

She didn't have the heart to discipline him tbh

rough sable
#

Pretty sure Speedweed had his sperm frozen somewhere tbh

nova sonnet
#

An Englishman who used to live in the slums that then became one rich mofo

steady oak
#

I doubt that was a thing in 1920

nova sonnet
#

that's a 💯 husbando

fluid forge
#

The difference between Erina and Holly is the Erina was strict and Holly coddled

nova sonnet
#

also spinning hats

rough sable
#

Idk Speedwagon Foundation was pretty ahead of its time lmao

steady oak
#

Tru

nova sonnet
#

maybe they couldn't find anyone worth speedwagon's genes

fluid forge
#

Holly probably felt guilty that Jotaro's dad was never there

#

Because she married him and had a child with him and welp, he's gone basically all the time

steady oak
#

Sadao "I love my saxophone more than my son" Kujo

rough sable
#

He was all about that jazz

fluid forge
#

So I see her coddling him as a way to try and make up for the fact his dad wasn't ever there

steady oak
#

Fffffff

rough sequoia
#

Let’s be honest

nova sonnet
#

why is Jotaro so tough in the first place

rough sequoia
#

Would you leave ya kid for jazz

steady oak
#

Bloodline

rough sable
#

Because he's a Joestar

fluid forge
#

Except it didn't really help him at all, it just gave him the impression he could be a little shit and get away with it

nova sonnet
#

Jonathan is one cuddly man and Joseph is an outgoing machohead

fluid forge
#

But yeah, I more or less consider the cause of the reason as to why Jotaro is the way he is is because he never had that father figure

#

Joseph technically didn't have a dad either but he at least had Speedwagon

nova sonnet
#

We all need a speedwagon in our lives :^)

fluid forge
#

Joseph never seemed to have visited the family much when Jotaro was little, so he never could have acted as a father figure towards Jotaro

rough sequoia
#

I mean

fluid forge
#

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Joseph didn't visit at all within Jotaro being able to remember

rough sequoia
#

Joseph was in an air plain crash twice before meeting ing Jotaro

#

Kappa

nova sonnet
#

Joseph is the opposite of a father figure

fluid forge
#

He never expressed fear at getting on a plane, he only was fearful of being at the controls of it

rough sable
#

Joseph hated Japan

fluid forge
#

^

#

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if he was kinda racist towards the Japanese too

steady oak
#

Too American for that shit

rough sequoia
#

Yeah

steady oak
#

He did grow up during ww2

rough sequoia
#

AMERICA

steady oak
#

So I wouldn't be surprised

#

So the stigma from the war plus sadao leaving holly alone probably really pushed him over the edge

fluid forge
#

Definitely, yeah

rough sequoia
#

All his friends are dead

rough sable
#

Yup his dislike towards Japan and the Japanese is mainly explained to be the result of WW2

rough sequoia
#

Pushed Joseph to the edge

steady oak
#

Not all his friends

#

Smokey became governor of Georgia

rough sequoia
#

I wish I remembered smokey

#

Never spoken of again

steady oak
#

Smokey was v important

nova sonnet
#

I always thought that the girl who took a liking to jotaro was his daughter lol

rough sequoia
#

He was

steady oak
#

Having smokey as a good friend during times where segregation was still a thing is good shit.

#

Araki did good on that one.

rough sequoia
#

Where is he in the other parts?

steady oak
#

Georgia

#

Governing

#

WHICH IS ALSO IMPORTANT

fluid forge
#

I wish Smokey had a bigger role though, but considering when the story takes place and when it was written, Araki did decent enough lol

full plaza
#

same

steady oak
#

Because SEGREGATION WAS STILL A THING

rough sequoia
#

Seriously

fluid forge
#

^

steady oak
#

And smokey did damn well for himself

fluid forge
#

Yeah segregation was a big deal back then

steady oak
#

A+character development

rough sable
#

Considering how short BT was and how little room the characters had to develop... Smokey was good.

steady oak
#

Smokey appreciation

fluid forge
#

Fuckin Plessy vs Ferguson

rough sequoia
#

Wens a novel or spin off for Smokey

steady oak
#

I can't believe someone needs to write a canon spin-off for smokey

hard acorn
#

NIGERUNDAYO SUMOKI

steady oak
#

jotaro you can write it. I believe in you. jotaro

hard acorn
#

wait...

#

nigerun dayo

#

coincidence?

rough sequoia
#

I’m HORRIBLE, at writing stories

#

I used to do some stuff for school, and I don’t even wanna look back at it

hard acorn
#

don't worry, i'm shit at writing too

near starBOT
#

@hard acorn, you just advanced to level 3 !

hard acorn
#

yay

rough sable
#

It would require a LOT of research into the US history of that time

fluid forge
#

Yeah

rough sequoia
#

Yeah

#

I’m busy with high school and all

fluid forge
#

Understanding the Plessy vs Ferguson cases and then knowing how things went before Brown vs Board occurred

hard acorn
#

you'd need to work out who else was running and what smokey could have done to win against them

fluid forge
#

Not to mention the sheer amount of racism he would have dealt with just for even trying to run for governor

hard acorn
#

Smokey Brown: Make America Great Again

fluid forge
#

God no

rough sequoia
#

Stop

hard acorn
#

maybe Hope would be better

steady oak
#

He would have the backing of the speed wagon foundation though

hard acorn
#

yeah

steady oak
#

So that would be crucial in his campaign

fluid forge
#

Yeah

hard acorn
#

they could probably rig an election if jojo asked to do something nice for his bud

steady oak
#

I doubt smokey would allow that though

rough sequoia
#

Yeah

hard acorn
#

wait, shouldn't we be in battle tendancy?

rough sequoia
#

Winning fair and square is best

hard acorn
#

this isn't very part 3

steady oak
#

We were talking about sdc it's fine

hard acorn
#

k

#

I guess yeah, it was after part 2 when smokey won

#

maybe even during the 80s

#

or 70s

fluid forge
#

Not during the 80s?

hard acorn
#

could be during the 80s

fluid forge
#

He probably won around the 50s or 60s

hard acorn
#

he'd just look really old

#

makes more sense

fluid forge
#

They showed him when he won

#

He wasn't that old looking

hard acorn
#

yeah

fluid forge
#

He looked like he was in his 30s or something

rough sequoia
#

Pretty buff tho

hard acorn
#

so probably 60s

#

actually that would make even more sense because it was during the civil rights movement

steady oak
#

At the end of the story it is explained that Smokey saved enough money for college, where he studied political science. He would later become the first African-American mayor of his home town in the state of Georgia.

hard acorn
#

he would have that on his side

fluid forge
#

Also Rohan, he wasn't a governor

#

He was a mayor

steady oak
#

During the events of the High Priestess story arc, a flyer for a charity peace concert that Suzi Q is attending displays a picture of Smokey, now mayor of New York City, as a sponsor of the event.

#

Yeah

#

Oops

rough sequoia
#

Close enough

steady oak
#

I thought he was higher office

hard acorn
#

well considering it was the 60s...

steady oak
#

There would still be social stigma

fluid forge
#

Yeah

#

But he still achieved a lot, considering what he was up again

steady oak
#

Smokey is the pinnacle of life goals

#

He overcame so much

rough sable
#

That's a spoiler

fluid forge
#

It is, technically

rough sequoia
#

Smokey wouldn’t be afraid right

fluid forge
#

Deleted it

rough sequoia
#

Since he ran away with Joseph twice

fluid forge
#

I mean

steady oak
#

After being in the presence of Kars, I doubt he'd be afraid of racist people

fluid forge
#

He was a normal human with no Hamon, face to face with a vampire and then later a pillar man

#

Also, he'd probably still he scared of racist people even after Kars

#

Racists still killed people back then

steady oak
#

I guess in mobs yeah

#

Still human

fluid forge
#

He'd probably just think they were all major idiots for discriminating based off skin color when he'd seen a literal Ultimate Being in the flesh

#

Said Ultimate Being loathed humanity by the very nature of them being human

#

But Pillar Men were a different species entirely, the gap is so much wider

rough sequoia
#

Mind If I post a picture of adult Smokey

fluid forge
#

Sure, go for it

hard acorn
#

why not?

rough sequoia
fluid forge
#

SMOKEYYYYYY

woeful sleet
#

good man

hard acorn
#

yeah he looks like 40 ish

rough sable
#

WHat a man

hard acorn
#

or mid 30s

fluid forge
#

We don't know how old he was in Part 2 but I'd say around 15

#

Maybe 14

#

Probably no older than 16

hard acorn
#

we're not forgetting Josuke was 15 and fucking ripped

rough sequoia
#

I’d say 14

hard acorn
#

I could agree with 14

fluid forge
#

Josuke was 16

#

Giorno is 15

hard acorn
#

oh whoops I got them confused

#

ok so 14 or 15

fluid forge
#

If he was 15 and became a mayor by 40, that would have happened in the early 60s

#

So that would have been after Brown vs Board

hard acorn
#

that's like the middle of the civil rights movement so that fits pretty well

fluid forge
#

Which would have increased his odds a lot because of what was happening in those years

hard acorn
#

yeah

full plaza
#

l don't know anything

fluid forge
#

Have you heard of Plessy vs Ferguson?

#

@KQ I mean

#

If you've heard the phrase "separate but equal," that's the case where the phrase came from

#

It was basically ruled in the 1880s that other minorities were separate from whites, but still "equal" (except they weren't treated equally)

#

Brown vs Board overruled that case in the 50s, basically stating it was unconstitutional to segregate people based off the color of their skin, because it didn't make them equal. You can't be separate and equal, that's not how it works

rough sequoia
#

I haven’t history in a while

fluid forge
#

Smokey's odds of becoming a mayor would have risen astronomically just after the Brown vs Board trial

#

Though it would still be hard to do

rough sequoia
#

Was that one girl who did the bus thing in that year?

fluid forge
#

But the Civil Rights movement started in the mid 50s, so things were already making headway

#

Yes

#

Rosa Parks, I think?

rough sequoia
#

That’s her name

fluid forge
#

She refused to give up her seat to a white man on a boss

full plaza
#

oh yes!

fluid forge
#

I believe she was arrested for it

rough sequoia
#

She was

fluid forge
#

That's not the only thing that sparked the Civil Rights movement but it was definitely a major event that lead to it

rough sequoia
#

The people who sat and ate at the whites only seats

fluid forge
#

Yeah

#

Her arrest lead to a boycott by African American citizens

#

The uhh

#

Montgomery boycott I think?

#

Bus boycott

#

I forget how many people participated in it but it was a lot

#

Like well over 10 thousand people

#

But yeah, regarding Smokey, not only would his odds at becoming mayor during the movement have been a lot higher, it would have also strengthen the resolve of the movement too

#

It's pretty interesting to think about tbh

rough sequoia
#

It is

desert pivot
#

Isn't this discussion supposed to be talking about Part 3 and under?

rough sequoia
#

Yes

desert pivot
#

Cause you kind of went off topic.

rough sequoia
#

It was about Smokey being a mayor

desert pivot
#

But then it led to Rosa Parks.

rough sable
#

Not exactly, it was a mention of what the times were like when Smokey ran for a mayor, so it's related

desert pivot
#

Ok then.

#

I see now.

rough sequoia
#

I understand why you see it strange though

#

Talkin about history

fluid forge
#

Can't talk about stories set in the real world without talking about history sometimes though

desert pivot
#

talkin about history in the stardust crusaders section. But, it's ok because it says you could do that in the rules.

rough sequoia
#

Wait

#

We’re in stardust?

desert pivot
#

yeh.

fluid forge
#

Yes, but it's not an issue talking about it here

#

I was talking about history because we were talking about Smoke becoming a mayor

#

And mainly, the challenges he would have faced, knowing what happened in history during those years

desert pivot
#

Ik,Ik

#

got the gist of it.

rough sequoia
#

I wonder how Young Joseph would use hermit purple if he had it then, after Kars.

void spire
#

he did, we just didnt see it

rough sequoia
#

No but how would he use it

void spire
#

its the “your next line” trick I believe

rough sequoia
#

Yeah, but if Joseph got his stand before dio, how would he use it on people or to benefit him self

void spire
#

knowing Joseph, before beating Straizo, he mightve used it to get away w stuff

rough sable
#

Perfect the running away technique

*Strategic Retreat

nova sonnet

*NIGERUNDAYO

wintry rampart
#

if joseph uses hamon then why did he get older

ancient rivet
#

He stopped his training

#

He felt as if there was no need to use it due to no imposing threat

full plaza
#

he should have kept it grr

ancient rivet
#

It would’ve been really sad on Suzies side

#

Not everyone can learn hamon

open valley
#

But seeing what happened to Joseph

#

would she want to in the first place?

ancient rivet
#

Fair point

#

But it decreases the aging process so its worth it

rough sable
#

You get older even with Hamon though
It doesn't stop your aging, only slows it down. One of the reasons why Straizo wanted to become a vampire in the previous part

ancient rivet
#

Oh right yeah I totally forgot about that part. I mean the fact he looked like SW at the age of like 150+ (if my guessing is correct) is pretty impressive

rough sable
#

Yeah and also kinda creepy tbh

ancient rivet
#

How is it creepy exactly?

open valley
#

You have a 150 year old man looking 20

#

Well tbf in that case wolverine should be creepy thhhhhnk

rough sable
#

It was mainly creepy because Straizo was kinda creepy lol

ancient rivet
#

Clearly 20

#

(This was the best one I could find in like a minute of searching)

wintry rampart
#

no

#

looks about 40

#

maybe 35 and over

lethal fog
#

Well, joseph was like 69 in part 3

#

Without training in hamon or anything he still aged like fine wine

late arch
#

But what if

#

All the fights up to joseph saying that dios stand secret is to stop time

#

what if we didnt see dios POV

#

until jotaro learns how to stop time

#

you would see kak getting blasted

#

and only a few seconds of stopped time in jotaro vs dio

foggy quarry
#

That would

#

be fuct

#

and bizarre

rotund gazelle
#

That would be terrifying and hella cool

peak plume
#

I dont get it

#

Youd see the replay of kak getting punched after jotaro learns to stop time?

wanton turret
#

He means that we only get to see the earth in time stop form when jotaro learns it

peak plume
#

Yeah but whyd that be so cool

#

Am i forgetting something

wanton turret
#

Cuz dio would actually seem like he's teleporting instead of time stopping which actually makes more sense put into action

#

Kinda like that time when he got behind hol horse or in the OVA where he's holding a knife then he's gone and the knife just drops

#

It adds a sense of the unknown I guess

peak plume
#

So we'd see kakyoins death as dio teleporting to punch him?

near starBOT
#

@peak plume, you just advanced to level 5 !

wanton turret
#

Yeah more or less

peak plume
#

Gotcha

late arch
#

it would make dio seem even more terrifying

#

like when he runs to put polnareff down the stairs

#

because its a real let down seeing dio run up to kakyoin and punch

#

but seeing it from josephs perspective would b spooky

hazy hamlet
#

If you had a tiny clone of DIO, would you torture him?

scarlet heath
#

imagine a tiny the world

#

he only stops time for a millisecond

tacit meteor
#

if we only saw stopped time from jotaro's perspective then we wouldn't see the part where jotaro uses a magnet to mess with dio

rough sable
#

OMG a pocket DIO
Cute

scenic fable
#

Don't let him out of the cage or he'll throw toy knives at you and try to throw a toy steamroller at you.

rough sable
#

No I will let him bite shitty people we will be a great team

scenic fable
#

high pitched chipmunk wryyyyyy

rough sable
#

CUTE OMG AAAAA

#

I'll buy him brand doll clothes so he can look fabulous even when tiny

scenic fable

do any of you guys just think whenever Joseph uses Hermit Purple, its more that HP gives me a series of logical correct choices, and Joseph just picks which option to use?

The fact he's able to get it spot on most of the time I guess just proves how smart he really is. I mean the stand is a manifestation of its user and we all know how tactical that boi is

He did

He admitted it

So harsh, but I guess the ending wouldn't have been as interesting

Oh

It was a jape turned true

The puppet powers could've been expanded on my alot and even linked to jotaro's free will in The World, but because arak forgot, we missed out on such a thing

you know what i want? i want araki to revisit the tarot stands but instead of using the Rider-Waite naming style, the most commonly used one, he'd use the Thoth Tarot naming style, i.e. The Magician = The Magus, Strength = Lust, Judgement = The Aeon, The World = The Universe, etc.

#

okay i lie, i just want to hear dio's voice actor say 'The Universe'

DA UNAVURSE

#

is what i imagine that sounds like

lilac oasis
#

Why did dio die?
He survived getting his head cut in half before
And straizo reconstructed after literally being blown to bits

gloomy hull
#

The sun killed him

#

He got taken out temporarily then the sun came up and he died

void spire
#

and since stands are like a manifestation of the soul, having that destroyed would take regen a while to kick in

lilac oasis
#

The world has been destroyed before

gloomy hull
#

Also cause Dio had Jonathan's body with Jonathan being a Hamon user and sucking more blood out of Joseph who was also a Hamon user his healing probs slowed down

void spire
#

not really, since apparently he became super dio after giving joseph's corpse the good succ

lilac oasis
#

Joseph wasn't that much of a hamon user anymore

void spire
#

his left regen'd became normal SOMEHOW SINCE THE HAMON STILL FLOWS WITHIN JOSEPH

lilac oasis
#

And besides dios healing seemed better than before

#

Actually I don't know anymore

#

His hole in his stomach healed so well it even fixed his clothing
That was super fast healing

#

Why was dio in Egypt again?

void pebble
#

Because he lowkey is scared of water

gloomy hull
#

Yee

#

If you spent a 100 years underwater would you like to be near it

void spire
#

yes

#

fishes r cool

void pebble
#

Im not sure if he actually is scared of water im just guessing

void spire
#

maybe because he found enyaba there?

void pebble
#

Also that

lilac oasis
#

Did dio have a roses stand?

wanton turret
#

which roses? holly's roses or joseph's rose stem-like vines?

lilac oasis
#

In the plane episode

#

Also when kakyoin was gives the flesh bud

rough sable
#

He has a form of Hermit Purple thanks to the Joestar blood/Jonathan's body

boreal surge
#

I read somewhere that Araki was going to have the world turn into any known stand to him, but then later changed it because Jotaro would've needed a bigger ass pull

lilac oasis
#

Is that even possible

boreal surge
#

"Since our stands are alike DIO, star platinum can also be any stand I want it to, and allows me to instantly learn all of the things you did while you were practicing in the next 5 minutes"

novel raft
#

yes

lilac oasis
#

I thought it would have been better if star platinum and za warudo had the same tarot card

But jotaro saw the star as a joestar symbol
While dio saw it as being above the world

wut do u think kakyoin was doing

i should probs rewatch it

but was it just a visual thing and it was actually hierophant

no idea tbh,,,, araki completely forgot about it and there was,, no explanation

ngl it was probably hierophant but he wanted to be Extra™

him : swipes paintbrush
hierophant in the bg : sLASHES JOTARO

It was never really explained as far as I know

But tbf, the name has Bizarre in it after all

So it's maybe to make us go like "what"

He was supposed to replace Avdol after he died in India but Araki brought Avdol back instead

void pebble

Avdol was pretty popular back then makes sense

ruby sand
#

Yeah

wanton turret

Also because araki thought it would be bad to have two comedic members in the team, I think

boreal surge

It was an issue of balance, as Hol Horse didn't fit in the team very well, but Araki did mention that he really liked Hol Horse

Did hol horse die I forgot what happened to him?

really?

thats.....really not taking advantage of his stand

Okay but kak didn't have an "attack" stand. His stand was more of just helping than dealing with everyone

i would think is stand is better at laying traps

would The Sun (the stand) melt DIO like the regular sun would?

THATS

actually a good question

like what

final dragon

well then we have to find out what exactly is about the sun that kills dio

I think it has somewhat to do with hamon

since hamon is sun energy

thus why it kills vamps

#

it's not from the sun

#

it's just like the suns rays

wintry rampart
#

so does this mean the sun stand could kill DIO?

scarlet heath
#

there is 0 answer

#

because from what's shown is that it just produces heat

final dragon
#

but uv lights stop the pillar men

scarlet heath
#

which is why jojo and friends were gonna die

final dragon
#

so

wintry rampart
#

they stop the pillar men but not kill them

#

the sun does kill them

final dragon
#

we don't know for sure

#

cause we never see a live pillar man have uv shown on them

#

gtg

scarlet heath
#

but Sun(the stand) i'm pretty sure just produced heat. Because they never showed that they had a sun burn or anything significant to say that it also produced UV rays

rough sequoia
#

Maybe that’s the only reason dio took him

scarlet heath
#

the UV rays are was kills the Vampires/DIO

rough sequoia
#

Since he’s so shit using his stand

scarlet heath
#

yeah

#

I mean

#

I don't know why he didn't stand further away

#

his stand has a fucking 100 meter range

wintry rampart
#

what suprises me is that the crusaders didnt bring it up

scarlet heath
#

I'm sure Sun(the stand) was just filler lol

rough sequoia

It’s more Joseph didn’t bring it up

yeah

plus its stupid they dedicated a whole ep to the sun
