yo I got my 8 year old brother watching jojo rn but he can’t read that fast so I’m trying to get him the dub, but I don’t want a website like 9anime or kissanime, and the dvds I really don’t feel like buying bolth of them cause thats $50-60

#

is there any way I can get it without having to buy

odd sierra
#

dont want a site but you dont want to buy, pick one

solid grove
#

wintry rampart
#

@waxen flume that would be pretty dope to see young joseph again

grand gorge
#

I was going to say Netflix has the dubs for parts 1 and 2 at least

#

Then I remembered what channel this was

#

They'll prolly put it up eventually though

scarlet helm
#

hulu has parts 1-4

#

@thin quest if you have hulu anyways

white dew
#

just make your brother learn japanese so he doesn't have to read the subtitles

scarlet helm

Well shir

Like FR, Polnareff has a lot of fights in part 3. Gib me some more Joespeh or Kakoyin....

Death 13 was so good

I love this

#

how star platinum got time stop tho

#

is there story about it

#

wth

last coral
#

the same type of stand

wintry rampart
#

Star plat and the world were the first created stands @fading radish

#

Pretty much always had it

#

Jotaro just didnt know how to use it

thin quest
#

that one moment when you teach your stand to speak ora

wintry rampart
#

He didnt teach it

waxen flume
#

Who’s stronger the world or Star platinum

#

I think star plat because he has better precision

weary turret
#

i mean they did fight

#

and star platinum won

#

so i think the choice here is pretty safe

waxen flume
#

At first didn’t know vampires can die if they’re stands were destroyed

#

Forgot Dio’s vampire powers were limited

wintry rampart
#

He didn't die from having his stand destroyed, he died from having his body thrown into the sunlight

white dew
#

having his stand destroyed nerfed him enough for them to toss him into the sun yeah

placid quiver
#

Star plat, easy: better stats

placid quiver
#

I remember a while ago, someone asked what DIO was reading in the scenes when his house is getting destroyed below him and he’s just just chilling in his bed; well I didn’t even mean to, but I stumbled upon a answer

#

He was reading the Quran

#

Controversy
In May 2008, both Shueisha and studio A.P.P.P. halted manga/OVA shipments of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure after a complaint had been launched against them from Egyptian Islamic fundamentalists, after noticing a scene in the OVAs that has the villain, Dio Brando, reading a book depicting pages from the Qur'an.
-Wikipedia

lone hatch
#

it’s funny because the manga doesn’t have the quran

#

but it still got halted anyway, although i’m pretty sure it was because the DIO’s World arc originally depicted mosques being destroyed

#

they actually got Araki to redraw parts of it to just being generic towers iirc

#

specifically the part where Kakyoin does the 20m radius Emerald Splash iirc

toxic bolt
#

so jotaro's hair is connected to his hat

#

maybe kinda idk

#

but like episode 42 of stardust crusaders

#

he takes off his hat

#

when he verses d'arby v2

white dew
#

he loses his hat fighting N'doul too

placid quiver
#

the back of the hat is frayed

weary turret
#

the hat is a part of his body

#

source: araki

toxic bolt
#

someone on reddit said that the hat is part of the hair

#

from an interview

#

WITH ARAKI

#

but he turns it a bunch of times

placid quiver
#

maybe he was referring to oingo?

toxic bolt
weary turret
#

no he was just making a joke lol

placid quiver
#

^

weary turret
#

he was talking about how jotaro is drawn

#

jotaro is always drawn as if the hat were a part of his body

#

and then he sort of made a joke about it

toxic bolt
#

he says that his hat has been on his head for so long

toxic bolt
#

so it just

weary turret
#

he didn't say that

#

:v

toxic bolt
#

yes

#

yes

#

yes

#

he did

placid quiver
#

here's what i could find of him w/o a hat quickly in my starred gifs

storm turtle
#

araki told me that jotaro's hat is part of star platinum

lone hatch
#

it actually overlaps

rigid ruin
#

Don’t talk about his hat

outer yarrow
#

Why did he draw it like that though lol

wintry rampart
#

Adding the hat line to every frame would be kinda tedious I think, so it makes sense for the animators especially to fuse the hat and hair.

placid quiver
#

im p sure the hat does that in the manga aswell

wintry rampart
#

Yeah it doesn’t make much sense for it to happen in the manga. I guess since his hair is so dark anyway, maybe Araki just thought no one would question not seeing the hat line? I have no idea.

#

Jotaro’s hat is the biggest mystery of JoJo, even to this day.

placid quiver
#

it's frayed in the back, but like

#

yeah it's styleistic

tiny bear
#

It looks like the hat has hair too

last coral
#

It's both

hexed lion
#

Broken hat

#

Ngl at first I thought jotaros hat was one of those hats that only go like halfway

umbral niche
#

y'all ever realise that jotaro listens to japanese rnb

umbral niche
#

on the hat thing I'm pretty sure Araki said something about him never really not wearing his hat, so Araki just thought it would be fine to combine the hat and his hair

#

and so that people could recognise him even from the back or something

#

iirc

fading radish
#

@umbral niche what...?

winged crest
#

Yare yare daze

umbral niche
#

@fading radish I was just talking about what Araki once said on how Jotaro's hat worked and why he drew it that way since people were mentioning it beforehand

#

If you're referring to the rnb thing, Jotaro's favourite musician is Toshinobu Kubota. He was a big Japanese RnB artist in the 80s

#

Random question, if Joseph unlocked his stand, Hermit Purple, during Part 2 would it be exactly the same as it was in Part 3 or would it be stronger since he's younger?

wintry rampart
#

probably stronger

white dew
#

I'd think stronger too

blazing solstice
#

I think his abilities be more accurate or powerful (spirit photography)

white dew
#

but then again Hermit Purple's primary ability is the spirit photos, which a more of a utility stand than a fighting stand, so maybe that could be -- yeah

#

not necessarily stronger as in more battle oriented

blazing solstice
#

He uses it mid battle to read their minds

white dew
#

that would mimic his "your next line" gag from p2

blazing solstice
#

True

#

The only reason this question came up wad because apparently Araki said "If Jotaro's group time-traveled to the world of Part 2, they would probably be able to see "Hermit Purple" wrapped around Joseph just like in Part 3."

near starBOT
#

@blazing solstice, Your Stand Power is now level 3 !

white dew
#

oh really?

blazing solstice
#

So "you next line" gag was technically him using hermit purple without knowing

white dew
#

so Joseph had his stand the whole time but only unlocked it because of what happened with Dio? hmmmmmm

#

also explains why tiny joot has such furious fists

blazing solstice
#

It just never manifested until Dio

white dew
#

I want to know what Holly's stand might be like if she could control it

wintry rampart
#

little jotaro had them hands

#

luckily he was a good kid back at that age or else all them kids would’ve been in trouble

blazing solstice
#

I think it would have been a plant based stand since her stand had all those vines and flowers

#

Maybe control plants like poison ivy or something

white dew
#

maybe a cross between hermit purple and star platinum since she's inbetween joseph and jotaro on the family tree hmmmmmm

blazing solstice
#

I still find it funny that official on a list of things Jotato likes, Holly cooking is on top

white dew
#

ikrrrrr

#

he's such a softie dork

blazing solstice
#

Somebody once posted that what if Joseph and Jotaro come home to Holly and Suzie Q after defeating DIO only to find Holly manifested her stand and The World is standing beside her

#

It's a nice concept but then again the only reason she almost died was because she couldn't control her stand

weary turret
#

jotaro is not a big epic tactician genius who doesn't give a fuck. he's just big and weird

Who was the actual part 3 jobro, kakyoin or polnareff?

storm turtle
#

kakyoin

solid grove
#

why doe

wintry rampart
#

@storm turtle justify your answer

storm turtle
#

he called jotaro jojo

#

that does it for me

winged crest
#

He figured out Dio's stand

#

And then knowing it's power Jotaro was able to strategies

meager spear
#

Polnareff, he had a substantial personality and character progression

dapper pier
#

polnareff was the real protagonist jotaro was the jobro

placid quiver
#

what scene does kak call jotaro jojo?

weary turret
#

most of them

placid quiver
#

hm, ok then

#

can't way to rewatch

wintry rampart
#

@dapper pier i agree

#

Polnareff almost developed scoliosis for carrying the entire plot of stardust crusaders on his shoulders 😔

dapper pier
#

precisely

#

prayers for the homie

white dew
#

@wintry rampart Kakyoin is the main jobro because he has the first fight*, he's close to Jotaro in age, they're most often seen beside each other in scenes, etc

(* not counting the jail breakout with Abdul because that's a showcase fight for Stands and not an actual fight like JoJo vs Kakyoin)

#

@placid quiver he calls him JoJo up until Wheel of Fortune, in that episode when they talk about sumo it's Jotaro and he doesn't switch back

#

in Yellow Temperance he calls Jotaro "JoJo" a few times

wintry rampart
#

Polnareff is a more intimate friend of jotaro and has more screentime and plot relevance

white dew
#

Polnareff is a jobro but he's not the main jobro, that's Kakyoin

wintry rampart
#

Hmm i disagree

white dew
#

I mean you're allowed to be wrong that's fine kakcool

#

@placid quiver if you're looking for specific scenes, the end of Yellow Temperance when Kakyoin asks if he can eat the leftover cherry and then points out the flamingos he calls him JoJo twice ("JoJo, are you going to eat that cherry?" and "Oh, JoJo, look. A flock of flamingos")
He refers to him as JoJo when he returns to the hotel room ("JoJo ditched me so I went sunbathing")

solid bane
#
Polnareff is a more intimate friend of jotaro and has more screentime and plot relevance
#

when polpollaugh

#

don't even mention the ending cus he was the only one left

placid quiver
#

Nice

white dew
#

kakcool lmk if you want other references, but he does stop calling him JoJo. It's definitely "Jotaro" in ep 13 (Wheel of Fortune) and stays as "Jotaro" for the remainder

wintry rampart
placid quiver
#

I’m disappointed that the term “JoJo” is used less and less as the series progressed

#

*progresses

#

Also, Noriaki is 100% main jobro

#

I don’t see Jotaro’s and Jean’s child anywhere hypereyes

white dew
#

jouta polnareff did you lay this egg

placid quiver
#

And like every other jobro, he gets game ended

#

OI I JUST REALIZED

OI I JUST REALIZED

OI I JUST REALIZED

#

oh what te hell

#

Discord chill

white dew
#

discord wanted to emphasize your realization

placid quiver
#

Anyway, in Jojo’s Bizarre Married Life, how come people still call noriaki “Kakyoin” even though he’s married and the wife? I highly doubt the jotaro let him keep his name, since he was forced to sign the marriage documents, and is the “wife”

wintry rampart
#

@solid bane dude polnareff had more protagonism in sdc than both jojos lmao

solid bane
#

ok then i ask this

#

and i need you to understand this

wintry rampart
#

He had more character sure

solid bane
#

since it's probably hard to understand

#

common people can't answer this question

wintry rampart
#

Bur tbf a lot of characters have more or less develoment than the main character

meager spear
#

Polnareff is best jobro because I like him more and it’s my opinion

solid bane
#

how the fuck does that have to do with his relationship with jotaro

wintry rampart
#

Besides part 1 2 7 and 8

meager spear
#

god damn

lone hatch
#

polnareff has a solid character arc which is why he has a lot of focus in the first half but in egypt he gradually gets a bit less focus, so "polnareff has more screentime than jotaro" isnt quite true

wintry rampart
#

I wish polnareff said Hora more often

#

Name me a meaningful scene of friendship between jotaro and kakyoin 🤔

#

Yellow temperance

#

And take off the shipping googles

hey look at the flamingos jojo
do you like sumo jojo

now name one for polnareff

#

oh yeah forgot one for kakyoin

#

the start when he joins

wintry rampart
#

LMAO ok that's just shows the jotaro-kakyoin friendship is a meme

meager spear
#

Polnareff exudes so much personality that he works on his own

solid bane
#

that is true pol has more personality

wintry rampart
#

And almost gets avdol killed

#

Then gets him killed anyway

#

If you ask someone If they like sumo and tell them to look at flamingos that clearly means you two have a super close super intimate friendship that will last a lifetime

meager spear
#

Tbh it doesn’t help the kakyoin was gone for most of the Egypt arc

placid quiver
#

Yeah that was fucked up

wintry rampart
#

I mean

#

He was blind

placid quiver
#

Jean has so much screen time it’s unreal

#

Polnareff is more interesting; that doesn’t mean he’s main jobro

wintry rampart
#

What can you do when youre blind

#

Fighting is out of the question

placid quiver
#

Use your stand hypereyes

wintry rampart
#

Kakyoin was kinda underdeveloped imo

#

Can he see through his stand tho?

#

No

meager spear
#

If you can use your stand to talk, can’t you technically use your stand to see?

molten niche
#

ah yes

wintry rampart
#

You cant

#

@solid bane, Your Stand Power is now level 19 !

wintry rampart
#

If you get damaged so does your stand

placid quiver
#

There’s a whole lot of drama whether stands can see or not

wintry rampart
#

And vice versa

placid quiver
#

Oh yeah

meager spear
#

Jotaro uses star platinums eyes during Daniel Darby fight tho

molten niche
#

I think they can see
but to other humans that dont have a stand, they can't see a stand like star platinum

wintry rampart
#

It kinda differs in every part

#

You can't see through your stand in sdc

#

People also dont pay attention that when polnareff and kakyoin fought lovers joseph broadcasted the fight on a tv

#

@wintry rampart true

#

That's how they could see

placid quiver
#

There’s a scene in part 5 where someone can sense where their stand is without seeing them

wintry rampart
#

Stand users are drawn to one another, though only said in the next part

placid quiver
#

Stand users can’t see with their stand unless they’re next to them, like jotaro using to amplify his binoculars and to draw the fly

#

But wen they’re at a distance, like ebony devil, lovers and that scene in part 5 you can’t see them, but you can sense where they are

wintry rampart
#

Kakyoin stand needs to aim the splash first

#

Cant do that from far away

white dew
#

@wintry rampart off the top of my head:
Jotaro bringing Kakyoin back to show Joseph and saving him from the fleshbud. Why did you save me? and Why are you doing this? mirroring their answers with vague "idk" bullshit
Both being students and wearing their school uniforms on the ship, rooming together in Singapore
Making plans together that get sidelined by Yellow Temperance, them hanging out on the train together
The sumo exchange
Jotaro saying "You don't know Kakyoin" to Steely Dan and showing confidence in him
During Death 13, Jotaro shows concern by asking if Kakyoin did that to himself (carving 'baby stand' into his arm)
Kakyoin being trusted enough to know the secret of Abdul's not-death
After Kakyoin returns to the group in ep 39, Jotaro clasps Kakyoin's hand and looks happy to see him again

#

idk what you have against Kakyoin and Jotaro being friends, they clearly are

wintry rampart
#

When did i say i have anything against them being friends?

#

I said they're not as close for me to consider kak the main jobro

#

Kakyoin x polnareff > polnareff x jotaro

placid quiver
#

eh, everyone has their opinion

white dew
#

Polnareff is the last to join up with them, when tf is the main jobro the last one to join?

#

that's like trying to say Iggy is the main jobro

placid quiver
#

if you prefer polanerff as main jobro then whatever, we just think ur wrong

white dew
#

(last of the main 5)

#

I mean if you ship Jotaro with Polnareff that's fine

#

lots of muscles, I get it

wintry rampart
#

When tf does the main jojo not show a sign of even acknowledgement when his main jobro gets killed?

#

I don't ship him with pol
Why would i do that?

white dew
#

??? tf you talking about, Jotaro acknowledges it. Did you expect him to fall to his knees and start screaming in grief? he's focused on trying to defeat Dio

placid quiver
#

cause he's too busy kicking dio's ass

#

not to mention he didn't see it happen, and jotaro isn't as emotional as, say, joseph who had a whole thing when caesar died

wintry rampart
#

He didn't even flinch when the speedwagon foundation announced his dead lol

white dew
#

he's not on the screen.....

#

he's also trying to keep Joseph alive and it's been like 30 seconds since he just ora'd Dio's ass

#

for Jotaro he shows a strong a reaction to hearing about Kakyoin's defeat

#

then when SPW announces Kakyoin's dead, we don't see his reaction at all

#

obviously he cares a lot for Joseph and wants to save his life

#

how tf is Polnareff the main jobro

#

you could make a better argument Joseph is the main jobro

#

he's obviously closer to Jotaro than any of them

placid quiver
#

guys chill

wintry rampart
#

Imo he shows a stronger reaction to the possibility of dio targetting polnareff, he even puts himself in danger so dio will focus on him instead of attacking pol, even after going through all the trouble of stopping his own heart

placid quiver
#

lets all back up and realize were different people with different character preferences

solid bane
#

you expect him to let him die lmao

placid quiver
#

and that different people may interpret people's relationships differently, especially since it's a big group, bigger then previous parts

wintry rampart
#

@white dew you clearly are a huge kak fan, i get it, let's just agree to disagree and leave it at that?

solid bane
#

jotaro is a softie on the inside, he doesn't cry for the fallen but keeps people from falling

placid quiver
#

correct

white dew
#

you asked for reasons, I gave them bruh

wintry rampart

I know, Why are u against agreeing to disagree and leave it at that? ._.

wintry rampart

idk im just

placid quiver

well, he didn't train him, but he could not beat dio straight out

wintry rampart

yeah thats what i said because he had more fighting experience after he fought the previous villians

#

but he said he could still do it

placid quiver
#

bullshit

#

he could barely beat avdol

wintry rampart
#

right?

#

thanks

#

He probably wouldnt beat him

#

If he hadn't gotten fighting experience and worked on his strategy he couldn't have figured out he could stop time too nor would he have survived the trillion knives dio threw at him

he would’ve gotten bopped

Donutted then have his blood drained

yep

remember when they had to look closely to see polnareff's stand

oh that reminds me

my friend also shit talked me about how the younger darby couldnt see josephs hermit purple on the controller

but he should be able to see it

he had it thru jotaro dipshit

#

dipshit being ur friend

#

stands can pass thru things if their thin enough and thier user wants them to

wintry rampart

yeah but you can see that his hermit purple was around gripping that controller

#

And so was jotaro

hm

idk rn

yeah same

fuck it

Jotaro literally held the controller

wait can i send images in here?

Your friend does not think about things like these

If related yes

hol up

Basically since stands can (when the plot requires it) phase through things

So hermit purple phases through jotaros hands

#

Speculations on holly's stand's name and what its abilities could have been?

placid quiver
#

well were out of tarot cards

#

unless we use thoth deck or minor arcana

wintry rampart
#

thot deck

placid quiver
#

we know that it literally looks like the holly plant, and it's probably simillar to hermit purple

#

honestly it is the thot deck

#

or we could used reversed star

#

in tarot, if a card is dealt upside down it has the opposite meaning

meager spear
#

Upside down hermit?

wintry rampart
#

I have the theory that if she had been able to withstand it her stand would have taken an humanoid form, kinda like how someone else in the family only had strings at first

placid quiver
#

strings at first?

wintry rampart
#

Spoilers

placid quiver
#

oh

#

what part?

wintry rampart
#

placid quiver
#

ah yeah i'm not their yet

#

@meager spear reversed hermit represents spending time alone simply because you want to, in contrast to upright hermit which represents spending time alone to learn more about yourself

meager spear
#

Hmm idk what that would mean for a stand

wintry rampart
#

Hmm that doesn't seem like holly

placid quiver
#

that's hermit not star 👀

wintry rampart
#

What about reverse the star and reverse the world?

placid quiver
#

ngl star for jotaro makes 0% fucking sense at first glance

#

star represents optimsiom, iirc

#

i can't spell :/

"It's a strong card, one that gives hope to those on the ground below. It shines in times of need. But, eventually, it is destined to fall to the earth and disappear... Even I can feel the sadness of this inescapable destiny..."
—Margaret, Persona 4

wintry rampart
#

;-;

placid quiver
#

the reversed star represents feelings of hopelessness; but only feeling that way, not that it actually is

#

sort of telling you that you need to take action

wintry rampart
#

I think that one fits her

#

She must have felt hopeless dying while her dad and son risked their lives wihout her being able to help

placid quiver
#

exactly

#

one thing that i have noticed about some peoples cards is that some of them already have reversed symbolism in them. since holly would be a special case, i think specifying that in her stand name would be neccasary

#

for example, the hanged man arcana generally represents sacrificing yourself to help others, while it's reverse represents having others sacrifice themselves for your selfish needs. for the hanged man's user, i think the reverse fits better, considering... what he would to people

#

(The World) often appears as the final triumph arcana, creating miracles and aiding the protagonists. Portrayed as a young woman (or an androgyne, depending on deck) surrounded by figures of an angel, a bull, an eagle and a lion (representations of the four elements in transcendent form, as well as the symbols of the four Evangelists (Luke, Matthew, John and Mark respectively), The World Arcana is a representation of the world's totality, the symbol of fulfillment, wholeness and harmony.

In a general context, The World Tarot card reversed can indicate that you have not accomplished what you set out to do and things have become stagnant. You may have tried to take shortcuts instead of putting in the hard work necessary to achieve your dreams. You may be throwing all your energy into trying to make something work that is not working for you. The World reversed can signify feeling stuck in a situation. This will be one particular part of your life that is taking up your energy rather than problems in all areas. You may be aware of what is it already as it will be a focus for you and you may feel burdened by it. Remember that there is no point in flogging a dead horse. So if you’ve thrown everything you’ve got a something and it’s still not working for you, The World reversed may be telling you that it’s time to accept the disappointment and cut your losses.

hm after some light googling it seems that dio may be the reversed world as well

wintry rampart
#

@placid quiver in that case do you think holly's stand's would have just been reversed star or maybe something else?

placid quiver
#

yeah probably

#

well, i feel like that's what best represents it in the context of part 3, idk what araki would do in that scenario

#

I've seen Guns and Roses as a suggested stand name for Holly

#

I think that's a pretty good one

wintry rampart
#

That'd be a cool name

placid quiver
#

yeah it would be

#

sounds cool but

wintry rampart
#

Though part 3 wasn't huge on stands named after bands

placid quiver
#

it's holly not roses, and songs weren't used for stand names at the time

#

yeah jolyne u get it

wintry rampart
#

I read a fic that had her stand named queen of cups

placid quiver
#

minor arcana could work yeah

#

that makes sense

#

minor arcana are simillar to regular playing cards, with the suits cups wands swords and coins

wintry rampart
#

What is the meaning of queen of cups?

placid quiver
#

lemme check 👀

#

The Suit of Cups (聖杯?, lit. "Chalice" or "Holy Grail") is one of the four Minor Arcana of the Tarot, along with Wands, Swords and Coins. In Tarot, cups relate to the element of Water, and therefore to situations and events most related to emotions. Thus, most cards of the suit of Cups are related to emotional issues or love situations. Additionally, Cups are also related to spiritual and religious matters, since the Cup was often considered the emblem of the clergy in old times.

and also healing or something

white dew
#

hmmmmmm Have a Holly Jolly Christmas

placid quiver
#

...

#

also, i can't believe i'm asking this, but fic name or link?

wintry rampart
#

Oof do you really want it? It has a kinda cringe ship ngl

placid quiver
#

no, then

wintry rampart
#

Ok

placid quiver
wintry rampart
#

Nice

placid quiver
#

...and discord shrunk it

#

alright last try

#

nope

wintry rampart
#

Also you said the meaning of the cups and i think it makes sense for holly especially with the relation to healing

placid quiver
#

well yeah, healing cause she was getting healn't

wintry rampart
#

She is described as a kind compassionate soul that no doubt wish to help those in need so it makes sense her stand would manifest abilities that help her help others

placid quiver
#

minor arcana would make sense as well, since she's literally a minor character whose stand was originally useless hypereyes

wintry rampart
#

Plus the ability to heal connects her to another member of the family

placid quiver
#

dude wow

#

did you just go there hypereyes

wintry rampart
#

I didn't name names

#

But the connections with their stand abilities makes perfect sense

placid quiver
#

it would yeah

#

so her ability would be harmn't

#

like doing the opposite of what happened to her

wintry rampart
#

Yeah

#

She wouldn't be an attack stand

placid quiver
#

mhm

#

yo what if we made an eye-catcher for her

#

like a stat page

wintry rampart
#

That'd be cool

#

Power: E
Speed: C
Range: B or A
Durability: C
Precision: B
Potential: B

placid quiver
#

lemme check what hermit purples range is

wintry rampart
#

For the range i think the humanized ver of the stand has a range of about 1-2 meters but in its plant? Form it can reach around 20-40 meters but it becomes weaker the further away it is from holly

placid quiver
wintry rampart
#

Wh

placid quiver
#

i'm mostly thinking what it would be full plant like, hermit purple style i guess

#

but i don't know about whatever stand was "originally strings" from part 6 so

wintry rampart
#

Basically it's a stand that has a humanoid form when its closer to the user but becomes only a bunch of strings the further away it is

placid quiver
#

ohhh

wintry rampart
#

So in my hc it'd be like that with holly's except its a plant

placid quiver
#

maybe her range would be c-b, and she has to touch someone to start the healing process, but she can get up and move away a bit (the vines still connecting the two) at the expense of healing speed

wintry rampart
#

Makes sense

placid quiver
#

mkay mkay

#

i'll try to draw an eye-cather for her at some point

wintry rampart
#

Cool

#

Do you think healing would be the only thing she can do?

placid quiver
#

well if the plant has stand type physicality, she could probably, like, be spider man along with her pops

wintry rampart
#

Lol

#

For a humanoid version of the stand i like to think it physically resembles her great grandmother erina, like how star platinum resembles jonathan

placid quiver
#

ohhhhh shit damn you right

wintry rampart
#

Sorry if i'm getting too deep but if we go with the theory that star plat is a reincarnation of Jonathan and that it is build for fighting because Jonathan died a violent death to defeat dio it makes sense erina's reincarnation is in contrast build for healing and preserving life because she died a peaceful death and spent her life providing for and taking care of her family

placid quiver
#

no please i love getting deep for no reason

#

i mean you're 100% correct

#

so what are we deciding on calling the stand?

#

reversed star or something else?

#

reversed star platinum sounds a bit awkward so i think just reversed star would be fine

#

or we could try to find a song

wintry rampart
#

I like Queen of cups, maybe Holy Queen of Cups to make it more extra lol

placid quiver
#

imma do a bit more research on minor arcana

wintry rampart
#

I like reversed star too but idk of a way to make the name feel more like jojo yanno

placid quiver
#

yanno?

#

oh "y'know"

wintry rampart
#

I kinda wanna combine reversed star and queen of cups into a single name

#

But idk how

placid quiver
#

imagine calling jotaro jojo

#

ahaha... ha

wintry rampart
#

Lol

#

Kak did tho

#

"Reversed star: Queen of Cups" is kinda long imo

placid quiver
#

The suit of cups Tarot meaning has to do mainly with the emotional area of your life; it allows you to explore more about your feelings and about the way you connect to the others and to the world. An important note about the Cups Tarot symbolism is that they are not the only cards that deal with emotions, but they are the ones directly linked to the heart and to specific feelings such as love, bliss, melancholy, sorrow. However, other suits also deal indirectly with emotions and feelings: Wands are about passion, Pentacles(Coins) are more rooted into the ground and Swords usually indicate the presence of various types of anxieties. Coming back to Cups, they are part of the Minor Arcana, their corresponding natural element is water and the associated season is autumn and they represent the west. When it comes to romantic life, than Cups definitely play an important role in the reading.

#

revrsed star: queen of cups also makes no goddamn sense lmao

wintry rampart
#

Lol ik

placid quiver
#

The Tarot meaning of Cups Queen is all about awesome personal growth. The feminine nature of the card, indicates high emotional intelligence that serves you well in navigating through life.

#

so do we wanna be negative and more based in the story, or make her a stronger women?

wintry rampart
#

Let's be positive instead lol

placid quiver
#

well, we are stealing it from an aledgly sub par fan-fic

wintry rampart
#

True but the meaning of the queen of cups stays

placid quiver
#

so that's our final answer

wintry rampart
#

Holy Queen of Cups 👀

placid quiver
#

Holly and [QUEEN OF CUPS]

#

i can't find the proper things used for that lmao

#

maybe we could give it a slightly cooler name with same meaning? like Queen of Grails?

wintry rampart
#

You think grails sound cooler?

placid quiver
#

cups is the thing you drink your sub-par coffee out of every morning, a grail contains holy blood/wine

#

not that i'm religious

wintry rampart
#

Fair enough

placid quiver
#

spelling her name with 1 l makes me think you're saying holy as in the adj hypereyes

wintry rampart
#

I am lol
Holy Queen of Grails

#

Sounds like a saint

#

Kinda cool imo

placid quiver
#

you gotta put a comma between holy and queen of grails or else it reads like it's the adj

#

in the sub i watch it's spelled holly, but i mean who rlly cares

#

i don't wanna come off as a grammar nazi

that seems like a rather long stand name lmao

#

placid quiver
#

i guess qg would be short for queen of grails

wintry rampart

#

There are stands with way longer namestho

those are generally song titles, no?

like part 7s villain

wintry rampart
#

Yeah

#

Don't wanna spoil but it's a long af name

placid quiver
#

5 words damn

wintry rampart
#

Oof yeah

#

So um
Should qog's holly fruits(? Have anything to do with healing or it's just decor?

placid quiver
#

hm

#

i think just decor? cause if we have her healing via touch then it wouldn't make sense

#

maybe if fed to another stand it does something?

wintry rampart
#

Can a stand really feed a part of themselves to another stand?

placid quiver
#

well it's a plant

but they're both "ripple" like powers, stands are more a solid representation of the person rather then just energy

Its bound to happen with large fandoms. Lord of the Rings has one large plothole with the Griffins flying to Mount Doom, which is just not true, because of the many defense systems around Mount Doom never letting these Griffins through alive. I find that many people are streching themselves to find , when there are very obvious issues with every part. Some small, like earth wind and fire in part six needing to be changed to planatary waves, and some that are incredibly large, such as the coffin in part 3. Yes, you linked Hamon Beats video on that, but frankly, he does a very very poor job in explaining it. He makes broad assumptions that support his arguments and starts inventing things that just arent in the manga, such as the a secret enterence to the secret compartment of the coffin. Overall, I respect the effort and I will be reasearching the points he made further

#

I can't even be bothered talking about this """"""""meme"""""""" in any capacity anymore. It's taking such a baffling turn from what it originally was that it's actually flipped from being a joke to actively sucking the fun out of any discussion you could have about this series. Like it made sense for why it started in the first place, I get it. People start realising that JoJo's drops a lot of concepts after a short while, with some having better justifications for their dissapearance than others, and then you combine that with the fact that Araki claimed to have a bad memory in a volume cover. Boom, new meme. But it's just turned into "lmao araki has sinkhole brain". Shit like that photoshopped image of Araki having alzhemiers is some emberassing shit. So now it's just turned into this big boring ol game of "cat and mouse", where people are fighting back against the meme by making Araki out to be some 6D checkers writer who's mistakes are actually all justified (they're not), and the other side have to make some bottom of the bottom of the other barrel type claims that end up being more proof of that person's incompotence rather than Araki's forgetfullness. One side looks like blind loyalists, the other look like morons at worse and sore losers at best.

Hamon Beat can finish making his videos and other people can respond to them or whatever, but after that, the meme can should permentantly fuck off. or atleast be quarentiened to r/ShitPostCrusaders

cant be bothered talking about this

grizzled linden
#

Hey, writing allot on something isnt inherently bad. Hell, I have been talking about Jojo on multiple discords and sites for over a year now and some points are annoying me now, simply because they are innacurate myths, but I can still go out of my way to write a 400 page essay on them, explaining why they are incorrect

#

I strongly dislike the idea that breaking down inconsistencies of a show becomes a "meme" and should thus be dismissed. Its all about consistency. If Araki drops concepts, is this justified in the text and if it isnt, how does this affect the plot?

valid meteor
#

Hey, break down the inconsistencies all you want.

grizzled linden
#

You should be able to have a conversation on something or ask someone of what they think of an inconsistency and if it is accurate or not and not have it be dismissed as "bruh, araki forgot is a dead meme"

valid meteor
#

I don't think you actually read the post but whatever. I think people who try to justify every single writing thread Araki has ever created are just as bad as the people who make Araki out to be like Zero from the end of MGS4. I hope people do have conversations about the quality of writing, which is why I want the meme to die as soona as possible, so people can stop hiding behind all their shit criticisms by saying "hah its just a meme lmao, why so srs haha (Joker 2019)"

Question.

Joseph had latent Hamon abilities thanks to Jonathan, confirming that Hamon can be passed on by blood.
So... Why did it die with Joseph? Other than Because Araki?

tropic karma
#

Maybe it didnt and the other Jojo can use Hamon subconciously like Caesar before being trained by Lisa Lisa?

To use it they'd need to train a whole shit tone

And hamon is worthless against stands

rain owl
#

This has probably been said but why is holly the only one whose stand disappears when dio dies

#

Also what's the point of making vanilla ice a vampire (is it explained and i forgot?)

last coral
#

Jonathan taught nobody either

#

Leaf parachute, spaghetti spikes, deflecting beams, mind control, temporary knockout (some Joseph + Speedwagon plane incident)

#

Locating lifeforms too I think

#

The first time Jonathan fought using Hamon

lone hatch
#

headcanon that the reason hamon skipped joseph’s father is because joseph got the hamon from lisa lisa practicing hamon during her pregnancy rather than hamon abilities randomly skipping generations

valid meteor
#

I'm just going to accept this because it pretty much explains why no other jojo ever "inherited" hamon

#

what

#

I thought Avdol was in his 40s

quartz spade
#

nah he's like

#

late 20s

#

Polnareff is also early 20s apparently

#

and I thought he was Avdol's age

#

Joseph is the only one who looks his age

lone hatch
#

tbh i assumed 40s for avdol as well but late 20s works

cold epoch
#

I don't remember anything that Avdol did except for be the first one to die twice

lone hatch
#

piss on a dude

weary turret
#

he was their cool buddy

#

must he do more

cold epoch
#

He's boring

#

And his stand is boring

wintry rampart
#

Bad opinions

lone hatch
#

so are most things about part 3

#

that’s just how it is

#

boring stands

cold epoch
#

But Avdol's is extra boring

#

It's just fire

lone hatch
#

and star platinum is just punchy for most of the story

#

that’s just how part 3 is

wintry rampart
#

what

swift light
#

Is it gay

wintry rampart
#

what

quartz spade
#

Avdol had a lot of development potential

#

so did Kakyoin

#

I'm speaking from viewing the anime, idk if it's any different in the manga

meager spear
#

Araki said he didn’t like avdol because he had a boring stand

rain owl
#

He took a bullet for polnareff. That's something

#

But yeah i don't think he really won any fights

#

Except maybe mariah

wintry rampart
#

Avdol definitely helped in a lot of fights, at least.

#

Also yeah, Magician's Red is kinda just a bird that shoots fire, which is kinda boring.

valid meteor
#

It's generic, but I think it's a nice goalpost for the evolution of stand battles, even within it's own context. The beginning of part 3 goes from "fire stand shoot fire ball to hurt man with fire burn" which sounds about as simple as it sounds. By the end of the part though, it's turned into "I can create a compas-like detector of lifeforms with my flames". Which is a lot more indicitive of stands

#

Also thinking about it further, it's kind of incredible how that "fire life detector" ability:

  1. Was Invented and explained
  2. Had it's strengths shown, which resulted in an enemy stand user dying
  3. And had it's weaknesses shown, which resulted in the stand user dying
    all within a 5 minute scene? That's kind of an incredbile synopsis of stand battles

#

I mean if his stand is boring it's araki's own fault lol he made him @meager spear

daring mesa
#

most of the stands in this part are boring and generic simply because it's the first time they were used and araki didn't get very creative with abilities yet

wintry rampart
#

The stands design is based off of another series

winged crest
#

@rain owl to answer ur question Vanilla Ice was turned into a vampire because Dio told him he needs just a bit more blood to finally posses Jonathan's body fully, so Vanilla Ice being the fanatic he is chops his own head off but Dio still needed him to keep the Stardust Crusaders off him so night can get closer so he revived him

#

Is what I understood while watching

#

If someone noticed I misunderstood something please correct me

weary turret
#

basically it but

#

dio fully believes he can solo the crusaders

#

he's just a prick that would rather drink the blood of joseph to complete jonathan's assimilation

#

so he keeps vanilla ice alive instead

placid quiver
#

i think that also joestar blood would be better at assimilation then VI

weary turret
#

according to dio it doesn't make a difference. but he's kind of inconsistent about it cause hes a big liar

placid quiver
#

inconsistancy? in jojo? never!

weary turret
#

nah dio's just a big manipulator

lone hatch
#

joseph’s blood really suits him tho

#

gives him the greatest high

#

highest in the room

placid quiver
#

imagine coming back from the dead

#

and the first thing you do

#

is fucking prank your grandson

#

i had like a fucking panic attack when he pulled that shit oh my fucking lord

light dragon
#

I really did think it was Dio

sudden basin
#

Hey how did dio eat josephs blood if he had hamon stored in his body

near starBOT
#

@sudden basin, Your Stand Power is now level 2 !

sudden basin
#

and if he didn't, or dio was able to resist it, then how did joseph not actually become a vampire at the end?

dusk agate
#

In part 1 Jonathan removes Dio's vampiric essence or whatever from his blood so I'd assume something like that happens?

sudden basin
#

ok so that makes sense of how he didnt turn into a vampire or zombie

#

but then why didn't it infect dio?

lone hatch
#

i mean they stress a lot that hamon breathing has to be a constant conscious effort

#

and joseph was knocked out for like

#

at least 5 minutes

sudden basin
#

so i guess when he woke up he was able to resist it then?

#

hmm

lone hatch
#

i guess

dusk agate
#

Makes sense

lone hatch
#

its really weird

sudden basin
#

🤷

wintry rampart
#

Araki isnt so consistent in the earlier parts

#

Specifically 4 and 5

lone hatch
#

just dont worry about it

dusk agate
#

wym @wintry rampart

#

4 and 5 seem fine to me

wintry rampart
#

What i mean is there are more things inconsistent with p3 than the later parts

#

7 and 8 to be precise

valid meteor
#

People still talking about the Joseph blood thign?

dusk agate
#

I guess so

sudden basin
#

yes

my bad

#

:v

#

i just finished p3 again and it never really occurred to me

lone hatch
#

idk why LPC says that

#

its always going to be something people ask about

#

its not even one of those ridiculous questions that people have a right to clown on u for asking

#

its normal

dusk agate
#

There's not really even an obvious answer to it either

valid meteor
#

I thought it had been pretty well established at this point that the answer is simply that Joseph got his blood back because DIO only sucked it like a few minutes before the blood transfusion

lone hatch
#

mr josetar

#

classic typos

valid meteor
#

Ahhhh, Donte el exterminator del deminos

meager spear
#

Jose Tar

placid quiver
#

cause hamon is made by blood flow, and joseph had died when dio went for the blood

Bloody stands i want hamon levels DoggoRee

#

Oingo was useless

#

Boingo's stand at least wasn't complete dog shit

placid quiver
#

Oingo Boingo and Hol Horse are all support type stands, of course there useless by themselves

wintry rampart
#

Not really

Hol Horse as a character is support type

Yeah if Tohth was named after a song it would definitely be called No One Lives Forever or some variant of that

valid meteor

#

There's so many fitting lyrics

#

I meant the oingo boingo song lol

#

"You worry too much / You make yourself sad
You can't change fate / But don't feel so bad
Enjoy it while you can / It's just like the weather
So quit complaining brother...
No one lives forever!"

Give me the entire Ho? Nukate kurunoka. Scene

worthy cedar
wintry rampart
#

Star plat and the world were the first stands araki made, he made both have the same ability but it was never explained in the manga @worthy cedar

worthy cedar
#

Oh ok i havent read the manga of p3

wintry rampart
#

It wasnt explained until a jojoveller i believe

lone hatch
#

so what this means is that araki apparently decided since day 1 to give star platinum time freezing abilities and didn’t want to foreshadow it at all

wintry rampart
#

Araki do what araki do

lone hatch
#

so with all of this in mind, this means that “araki designed TW/SP first” isnt a defense for time stop

#

because it has no relevance on the manga anyway

wintry rampart
#

How is it not

#

If he planned for it

#

He just didnt foreshadow it

#

Unless you count the darby's having similar powers

lone hatch
#

he planned it and decided that he would make it seem like an asspull

wintry rampart
#

With how araki was with the earlier parts

#

Can you blame him

lone hatch
#

if araki thought of time stop one day before he wrote DIO’s World it would make 0 difference

#

the fact that he designed the stands first has no bearing on the actual content of stardust crusaders
