My memory’s bad so plz correct me if im wrong.
In Part 3,4and 6, non stand users (including jolyne) got stands from arrow.

But for ppl with already standos:-
In Part 4, Kira got BTD. He had his old powers and got another extra ability. Also it’s worth mentioning that Kira got Killer queen from that very arrow.
In Part 5, Chariot got Requiem. Chariot just became something completely different than what it used to be. It became another living being who didn’t knew what it was doing itself. For Gold Experience Requiem also, it gained the return to zero, assuming that it couldn’t turn objects into living beings.

So what is the arrow actually supposed to do? Like ik it gives standos to the ppl it wants but what abt the ones who got chosen already have it? Does it have to do with the arrow providing stand to the user in the past? Because that just seems stupid honestly.

Arrow strikes stand user -> another ability, BTD
Arrow strikes stand -> requiem, CR/GER

It doesn't matter if you got your stand via arrow

The Arrows fashioned from the meteorite will catalyze and awaken the Stand of any living creature they pierce, given that the target has sufficient spiritual strength. If the target lacks sufficient spiritual strength, contact with the Arrow will prove fatal; on the other hand, the Arrows normally only seek out and pierce those who will live.

In certain cases, such as with Ken Oyanagi and Tama, the wound caused by the Arrow will heal and leave a hole about the size of an average coin.

EFFECTS ON BLOODLINES
The Arrow's effects transfer through bloodlines, generally without exception. The Arrow that pierced DIO (and thus Jonathan Joestar's body) awakened Stands in the rest of the Joestar family. Members of a bloodline without the necessary spiritual strength to wield a Stand slowly die from its power, as if they were suffering a severe fever; such is the case with Holy Kujo and a young Josuke Higashikata. If the person responsible for the Arrow's influence dies, any family members suffering in this way are cured instantly, though Josuke fully awakened and retained his own Stand.

The Arrow can also awaken a Stand within one's siblings, as the wound from the Arrow that pierced Enrico Pucci also transferred to his brother Wes Bluemarine, granting him Weather Report.

If a person affected by the Arrow in this manner has a child after the source of the Arrow's effect dies, the child does not inherit a Stand of their own. The only known example of this scenario is Jolyne Cujoh, who didn't awaken her Stand until she cut herself on a shard of an Arrow.

A degree of uncertainty surrounds the effects of an Arrow piercing a Stand or its user after its awakening. When an Arrow pierces a Stand user, the user in question awakens a new ability; such is the case with Yoshikage Kira's Bites the Dust ability. However, this fact seems to be context-sensitive, as Giorno Giovanna's repeated contact with the Arrow in Black Sabbath's mouth seemingly has no effect beyond wounding him.

#

In certain cases, piercing a Stand may cause it to change its form and gain a completely new ability, one that holds dominion over souls themselves.[16] These evolved Stands are referred to as Requiem Stands. In the two known cases of this phenomenon, Polnareff's Silver Chariot loses its previous abilities while Giorno's Gold Experience retains them. The transformation can usually be reversed by retrieving the Arrow from an evolved Stand, though the berserk Chariot Requiem retains its form even without the Arrow.

if your stand gets stab with it it will take your desire in that moment and grant it in a over the top way

A short summary is less overwhelming for readers and makes it easier to digest

the arrows have the microbe cuz they are from the meteorite, but its probably dumbed down because we see no one die

#

kira got an ability because it pierced him

#

the requiem works the way it does because you pierce it into the stand, which is your soul, and your fighting spirit, so whatever you want most at the time will happen, and the stand evolves

#

why cant the other arrows give requiems? thats never confirmed, but im guessing because of the beetle, its added microbes, and basically an extra dose of the shit

requiems are to an absolute extreme

Ok but do you really need a more potent virus if all it does is awaken your innate self?

its all just theories
