[quartz tendon]

[delicate hound]

https://tenor.com/view/fnb-get-this-man-a-true-gif-25257480

[near dirge]

Cream would be a cannon

[delicate hound]

yah

ice ice baby

HE COULD US ICE

to throw

i think joseph would use undecisive weapons to like trick

[quartz tendon]

araki was thinking smth whn he named the user ice and the stand cream

[north cliff]

I'm the daughter of a farmer and you likely larp as more country than you are like roughly 50% of American ruralites

[near dirge]

Joseph's weapon is whatever he has at hand at the moment

[quartz tendon]

so? im no in us

[delicate hound]

ur still from the city blud

[near dirge]

The user is named Vanilla Ice and the stand is Cream

[delicate hound]

ya

[near dirge]

Vanilla Ice Cream

[delicate hound]

choc better

[quartz tendon]

as i said he's planning

[delicate hound]

do u prefer kanye or taylor swift
taylor swift
i prefer kanye
walks away

[near dirge]

What

[delicate hound]

vanilla ice is a music band

[north cliff]

Regardless

[delicate hound]

shit not a band

[near dirge]

He's a solo artist not a band

[delicate hound]

mb

[grave rune]

Jobin (because fuck Toru, he's my goat)- Molotov. He's obviously very associated with heat and fire, he's a very rebellious force, he'd probably prefer to not be constantly burdened with a weapon, and if somebody got too close he'd have zero hesitation just using his fists

[delicate hound]

hes a rapper

[near dirge]

Napalm

[quartz tendon]

well i never remember asking

[near dirge]

Fast spreading and extremely dangerous and hot

[quartz tendon]

so idk why you had to tell me

[delicate hound]

https://klipy.com/gifs/monke-monkey-20

[north cliff]

This is extremely funny to say because you initiated the conversation via over an hour of unwanted L rizz

[slender leaf]

Johnathan: Sword
Joseph: Clacker balls/Whatever he has on hand
Jotaro: Would still use his fists and also still win
Josuke: Metal Bat
Giorno: Biological warfare
Jolyne: Gun
(Edited to change some things after discussion)

[delicate hound]

isnt josuke js mista then

without the bounce

[near dirge]

Josuke and Joseph are whatever they have at hand

[north cliff]

If you don't care just exit the conversation I won

[delicate hound]

uses a diaper to beat kars

[near dirge]

Reminder that the clackers only showed up for like 3 chapters

[slender leaf]

I guess
Idk what else I could’ve picked other than also fists but that’s boring

[delicate hound]

solid metal bat

like a japanese gangsta from the 1990's

[slender leaf]

Yeah that could work

[north cliff]

clacker volley lowk got the star finger treatment

[near dirge]

Bile said a wrench and I think that's based and AdrianShepherd-pilled

[quartz tendon]

l rizz for an l person ig

[quartz tendon]

https://giphy.com/gifs/city-boys-gaming-tag-AsOYVbIUoOBrUXaAIK

[north cliff]

💔

Ts is pathetic

[near dirge]

bro's pulling out the AI slop it's already joever

[safe pond]

gun

[quartz tendon]

sybau bro i aaint even talking to you

[near dirge]

Whatever you say vro

[north cliff]

You said you gotta go but wanted to feel like you won the conversation whereas I'm snowed in

[quartz tendon]

look who's talking

[quartz tendon]

wtf

i said tht an hour ago

[north cliff]

Yeah bro and you came back

[grave rune]

Jodio- Shaolin spade. Its a polearm with the capacity for either lethality with the blade side, or just a strong blunt hit if you need to pacify a foe. Its a bit of a weird pick, but Jodio is a bit of a weird guy

Acca Howler- it's so hard to say for him right now, but I'm gonna say axe. Its savage, intuitive to learn, and it's kinda symbolic of ||Acca having to let go of his land to avoid jail time||

[quartz tendon]

so?

[near dirge]

can't even imagine saying someone is pathetic when you attempted to rizz up a random internet person whom you've had seen before for like 29 seconds

For over an HOUR

[delicate hound]

isnt this about weapons and jojo

not nitin trynna flirt

[quartz tendon]

ong tell this eboy to fuck off man

@delicate hound

[north cliff]

Called in reinforcement

[grave rune]

Rohan- Pen. He's not gonna try and fight you, he's above that (and would likely lose). Instead, he shit talks you in his writing afterwards

[delicate hound]

is it ballpoint or fountain

[quartz tendon]

again look who's talking

[near dirge]

he's definitely a wojak person

[north cliff]

Pen shiv is an interesting choice

[delicate hound]

shiv?

[vapid cairn]

Joseph a tommy gun
jotaro prolly just a piece for show and never uses it
josuke would 100% use a bat
giorno a butterfly knife
Jolyne wit the pepper spray

[grave rune]

I think he switches, but probably primarily fountain since that's his go to for manga from memory

[near dirge]

It's fountain in the manga and ballpoint in the anime I think

[north cliff]

Shiv is a term that refers to improvised knives and I could easily see a fountain pen having an improvised blade

[near dirge]

small blades typically fashioned out of daily objects

[delicate hound]

OH

[grave rune]

That's odd, since his earrings are clearly fountain pens lol

[delicate hound]

like the thing they use in prisons

to shank

[near dirge]

ye

[north cliff]

Yeah but shank refers to an improvised point

[delicate hound]

dawg no one cares

[north cliff]

Like people will famously sharpen toothbrushes

[delicate hound]

as far as everyone knows

shank means to stab

[near dirge]

shank is a verb here for stabbing

[north cliff]

Ah I see

[delicate hound]

yes

shakespeare

[near dirge]

the meaning you're using is correct but it's mostly phased out by now

I think they call it language or colloquial fallacy

[delicate hound]

tu quoque

[north cliff]

In prison culture shanking is a specific term so it feels like a weird situation linguistically

[grave rune]

Jouta Kujo- knuckle dusters. He's kind, so always has the potential for an open hand. But someone who's (probably) strong and you (probably) shouldn't mess with too much

[delicate hound]

noo

yeah its colloquial fallacy

what did u type

[near dirge]

Jouta is the male pregnant baby

It's Jotaro

[grave rune]

Yessir

Kakyoin, did you lay this egg?

[near dirge]

Man why is the shorthand for male pregnant banned

[uncut fox]

I think nitin would use packgod as a weapon maybe

[near dirge]

What could even possibly be the reason

[north cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/king-engine-gif-14418252691903487661

[uncut fox]

Lmao

[grave rune]

Jo Kujo- Water balloons filled with some kind of questionable, stinky substance. Its ambiguous, and you'd never get answers, but he just has that look

[north cliff]

Fujoshis be wild sometimes

[near dirge]

oh my god bruh

[grave rune]

I'm gonna keep going down and getting more obscure

Qtaro Kujo- Pitchfork. You just gotta feel this one

[north cliff]

What would Shizuka Joestar use

[near dirge]

Is that the gigachad Jotaro in DIO and Pucci's heaven world?

[north cliff]

It'd have to be something that compliments invisibility I imagine because she doesn't have much characterization that's unrelated to her stand

[grave rune]

My goat

[still prawn]

johnny with a fuck ass rusty screwdriver

[near dirge]

nerve gas

[grave rune]

Gyro- hmm, this one's tough tbh. What weapon would Gyro from Steel Ball run use?

[near dirge]

his balls

[uncut fox]

A run

[north cliff]

If JoJo had a seventh shonen part Shizuka shouldve been the jojo

[grave rune]

Making him the perfect foil to Johnny

[uncut fox]

Exactly

[near dirge]

I like to imagine Shizuka as someone like Viper but good

So nerve gas would be cool

[north cliff]

Some of the Shizuka fanart is very tough

I should find like a decent fan written story

[near dirge]

It's hard to find JoJo fanfiction that isn't yaoi or self insert romance with one of the JoJo's

[north cliff]

The first one is my bad

[grave rune]

Besides the very obvious, either an executioner axe or some kind of older medical device that can double as a weapon like a bonesaw

[north cliff]

https://open.spotify.com/track/3qc98Q21AKdbzYrAtPnIZS?si=oLuIMpktTCWjmaaskS6S5w
Would go hard as a Shizuka fan theme even if it's not super typical of jojo

Or like blind idiot God from same album

[quartz tendon]

https://giphy.com/gifs/diss-clap-back-discord-packing-bevL3yQ3XxFV5rWFts

its my stand

[north cliff]

Fan depictions feel something between like a brutal and subtle

Character

[uncut fox]

Tuff

[quartz tendon]

shi @delicate hound we forgot about toruu

[quartz tendon]

ik i am

very very tuff

[north cliff]

I'm gonna be a bit of a weirdo and say a traditional Italian executioner's sword

Executioners swords are interesting and like have no ability to stab, they're also heavy and exceptionally good at delivering cuts albeit cumbersome

[uncut fox]

I feel like gyro would still use something that could be spinned but idk

[north cliff]

The blade is rectangular as opposed to pointed

[north cliff]

Like a revolver?

[agile rampart]

Knife idk

[uncut fox]

Maybe

[north cliff]

He uses a revolver in the manga and I think it's thematic to his penchant for spinning objects and his cowboy aesthetic

[uncut fox]

Image he uses spin to shoot like really fast

[north cliff]

I also think theres just like, a lot of revolvers in general featured in part 7 because it's a western

[uncut fox]

True

Or just things shooting in general

Steel ball run is so cool dude

[north cliff]

Yh it's my favorite part my ranking is like

7, 8, 4, 5, 6, 2, 3, 1

From strongest to weakest

[uncut fox]

🔥🔥

[delicate hound]

i didnt watch p8

[midnight saffron]

Want if I throw a nuke🤑

[rain swift]

@midnight saffron, your Stand Rank is now 3!

[delicate hound]

FR

steel ball run is cool af

ngl p4 is good

like

its not considered much

bcuz its more like a slice of life

ppl treat it wierd

[midnight saffron]

Just horses crippled guy and balls

https://giphy.com/gifs/plush-metal-sonic-bootleg-zOgAJCLR14r09gIPRP

[north cliff]

I don't think the original Jojo vampire trilogy is necessarily bad but like post that Araki has just like figured out his style of writing imo

[midnight saffron]

WAIT I FINALLY HAVE FUCKIN EMBEDS NOW

https://tenor.com/view/invincible-sea-salt-invincible-sea-salt-cecil-omni-man-gif-17044353696911297270

[uncut fox]

Lowkey I feel like johnny probably could've use his nails like a shotgun

Like he shoots all at once

In one direction

Idk tho

[north cliff]

I kind of wish they foreshadowed Johnny's stand by giving him a revolver that has 5 shots while everyone else uses 6 shooters

[uncut fox]

Honestly kinda fire

Like at the start of the race

He's missing a bullet or something

But I mean he does kinda get his stand kinda fast for the part

Not alot of stands at the start

[meager spire]

Roblox

[rain swift]

@meager spire, your Stand Rank is now 2!

[north cliff]

A lot of snub noses are 5 shot actions too

Maybe like he is explained to have bought a snub nose because he was shot

[uncut fox]

True

Honestly I kinda wish sbr had more race chapters and stuff but I could just be forgetting them

[north cliff]

Or more interestingly, he's shot with a snub nose because it's a good concealment weapon and the attacker accidentally leaves it because he fled the scene and this leads to Johnny keeping it

[north cliff]

While there's a lot if you include chases it's a little lacking wrt like horse riding stuff I think just because Araki wanted variety

[uncut fox]

Yeah

I can't wait for March dude

Boutta be peak

[north cliff]

I love the fall off your horse scene because like that's a specific insult that was used by cowboys and jockeys

Just a lot of cultural awareness

[median solstice]

Pucci a staff representing moses as he believes he is a prophet of God to bring his plan in
Jolyne nunchucks similar how she uses the threads of stone free

[uncut fox]

Honestly i gotta reread sbr

[lofty current]

weird ass

[rain swift]

@lofty current, your Stand Rank is now 1!

[lofty current]

stfu

[median solstice]

Josuke knuckle dusters to represent delinquency and how it's not your image that defines you it's your actions

[lofty current]

get a job guys

[median solstice]

Giorno probably a baseball bat playing into that mafia theme

[uncut fox]

Ragebait

[lofty current]

such wannabes lmao

[uncut fox]

Youre In a jojo server getting mad people are talking about jojo✌😭 0/10 ragebait big dawg

[median solstice]

Joseph his volley thingy is a weapon on its own

[lofty current]

not even japanese but sucking japanese dih

[north cliff]

My biggest like disappointment was wishing Johnny was more affected by Soundman

[lofty current]

its like things in the normal world vs japan

but japan is superior

jobless ahh

[uncut fox]

Yeah

[median solstice]

I shall not fall for the bait

[north cliff]

Araki's best work is literally set in the United states lol

[bitter atlas]

Dio: GUN Kars: Minigun (RUN COWARDS AHAHAHAHA) Dio part 3: GUN Kira: NOOB 2 Diavolo: Idk, like a rapier/longsword or something? Pucci: GUN Valentine: GUN Toru: No guns, just fists, he got that calamity on him Acca: GUN

[median solstice]

And giorno isn't Japanese he's half English half Italian

[lofty current]

can u ban me atleast bro

please

[uncut fox]

Honestly I can't wait to see sandman in the anime

[lofty current]

please ban me bro

[north cliff]

Yea I love him

[lofty current]

im on my knees

please

[median solstice]

Probably the coolest side character in sbr

[uncut fox]

He's got such a good design and just an amazing character

[lofty current]

simps

[median solstice]

As much as I think sbr is overrated sandman is one of my favourite side characters in jjba

[uncut fox]

He would've probably won If he kept going

[lofty current]

BRO FUCKING BAN ME
P

PLEAASE

[median solstice]

His writing is so good

[lofty current]

FUCK U

LOSER

ur mother

[bitter atlas]

JoJo protags: Jonathan: GUN Joseph: TOMMY GUN Jotaro: GUN Josuke punk: GLOCK Giorno: Revolver Jolyne: GUN Johnny: GUN Josuke sailer: GUN Jodio: GUN

[median solstice]

It's a shame that mfs like Ringo road again are glazed to the moon and back

[uncut fox]

Duuuudddeee exactly

I think most villains are amazing but the glaze for some of them

[median solstice]

Funny valentine is a good villain but oh my lord is he overglazed

[north cliff]

Araki was kinda based for his portrayal of sandman as like a noble modernizer whose tribe was devastated and lost land because of manipulation by the American government even if it's like depressing I think because it's very period appropriate

[uncut fox]

So true

[median solstice]

People ignore the subtle parts of his character like how he is a huge racist

[uncut fox]

And people try justifying his actions

[median solstice]

He uses racist dog whistles

[uncut fox]

Wasn't his second hand man a black guy tho

[median solstice]

"all the undesirables will leave" that basically means all black Americans and all immigrants due to how nationalistic he is

[north cliff]

Valentine imo isn't a very subtle racist because he centers Americans over everyone else no matter what this means and it represents a dark side to patriotism

[median solstice]

Nearing jingoistic

[median solstice]

People ignore that part of his character and it annoys me so much

[gusty wave]

JoJo's hood adventure

[ionic vortex]

joseph pulls out a...

[lofty current]

fuckc

UR MOM

[gusty wave]

https://tenor.com/view/gun-jo-jo-joseph-joestar-anime-reaction-image-gif-15084302

FUCK GOJO

FUCK JJK

[ionic vortex]

ah yes that thing

[lofty current]

FUCK TOJI OR SM SHI

[gusty wave]

Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed

[median solstice]

Funny valentine is gonna be mischaracterised so badly when the anime releases

[uncut fox]

Yeah

[median solstice]

Especially by those "anime isn't political" mfs

[uncut fox]

"He was just trying to help his country"

[lofty current]

2015 AHH COMEBACK

[median solstice]

"he is doing the right thing you just don't understand him bro"

[north cliff]

iirc Funny Valentine doesn't hate black people and it's implied that it's because they're considered American but is racist in the sense he's more willing to sacrifice the well being of someone he doesn't consider american

[uncut fox]

Yeah true

[median solstice]

I wish he was more of a caricature than he was

Imo he is too grounded

[north cliff]

I'm not sure if I am satisfied with how much of a caricature he is or if he's at an appropriate level of grounding personally

[median solstice]

I wish he was more like comically evil to poke fun at the cult of personalities us presidents are

[uncut fox]

If he was actually doing it for his country he wouldn't have sent so many people to their deaths for absolutely no reason other than the fact he wants to rise to the top basically 😭 there's other ways big dawg

[north cliff]

He was doing it for his country and himself simultaneously because he viewed himself as a patriot

[median solstice]

Genuinely never seen a country more obsessed with their leaders

[uncut fox]

Yeah

And willingly

[north cliff]

For Valentine America is Valentine because Valentine is the napkin mover

[uncut fox]

Yeah

People are gonna defend saying it was just for his country and not him but like

[median solstice]

Valentine is a cult of personality America needs him and he needs America

[north cliff]

I think this is like the central point of Araki's critique of imperialism and nationalism

[median solstice]

Yea I do like those themes through valentine but I wish he was more like ridiculous to further how ridiculous imperialistic and nationalistic beliefs can be especially during the 19th century where ideas of jingoism and social Darwinism becomes very popular

Take the 2nd boer war as an example of this

[north cliff]

Which is necessarily based in the United States because America to Araki is the most powerful country in the world and critiquing Japan for this wouldnt land as well with Japanese people

[median solstice]

Japan is a VERY nationalistic state all throughout their history it would have been very unpopular especially with their imperial Japanese past where even now those beliefs and ideas are still around in different forms

[north cliff]

Yeah but with the United states it lands well because the United States has consistently defeated Japan in war and generally has had the upper hand over Japan diplomatically in history as a more powerful nation

In addition to being aligned with Japan when it was written as well as today

[north cliff]

I think nationalistic tendencies started in the Edo period and got intense in the Meiji period but I might need to check with my Japanese friend

[gusty wave]

Haters hate

[median solstice]

I mean not consistently WW2 for modern conflicts that's about it America even helped covered up some of the war crimes Japan did commit after that Japan was an important ally for the US along with south korea

[north cliff]

Prior to the Edo period the prevailing ideology was Buddhism to the point where people were barred from eating meat

[median solstice]

Japan really was more focused with Russia Korea and china pre WW2

[north cliff]

Japan post WW2 became an instrument for American power projection in the Pacific and Asia so these like, unethical acts imo were in American strategic interests

[median solstice]

With the Russo Japanese war 1904-5 the Manchurian crisis form the top of my head

[lofty current]

lmaoooo MOTIVATION AHH HATERS HATE

[rain swift]

@lofty current, your Stand Rank is now 2!

[lofty current]

GROW UP

GROWN AHH MEN

[gusty wave]

I'm 14 gng

[lofty current]

AND UR IN A NSFW SERVER

[north cliff]

America was going to go to war with Japan over like diplomatic isolation and had something that was almost like war

Gunboat diplomacy which the United states defeated Japan in

[median solstice]

Same with the FRG essentially acting as a capitalist buffer state which is why America did the Berlin airlift the marshall plan and the frg massively benefited from the Korean war economically

[uncut fox]

It's ragebait just ignore him

He's trynna get banned or something

[gusty wave]

I feel no rage

[north cliff]

Operation paperclip was crazy work

[gusty wave]

https://tenor.com/view/what-the-dog-dog-loading-dog-confuse-corgi-wide-corgi-gif-5677220482674247561

[median solstice]

Yeah and also in the FRG and the USSR

[lofty current]

BROS CRYING LMAO

[north cliff]

Japan pre WW2 was like will we won't we wrt aligning with the USA because of opportunistic tendencies so like you have things like cooperating with the USA and Europe in opening up China in addition to competition in the Pacific

[median solstice]

Adenauer really got lucky that the US had such huge interests in FRG

[rain swift]

@median solstice, your Stand Rank is now 7!

[north cliff]

This is part of why pearl harbor was surprising

Japan was weaker which made Japanese attack without German/Mexican attack surprising to the USA

Mexico didn't want to attack the USA but there was a scandal with the axis trying to get that to happen

[median solstice]

On the other side of the coin you also have the pact of steel which was a huge ideological based pact which benefits Japan a lot especially after the Manchurian crisis where they got really close to the USSR and would have kick started WW2 if Germany never started it with an invasion of the USSR

[north cliff]

Yea

[median solstice]

Also the league of nations weak being contributed a lot

The league of nations didn't do anything about the Manchurian crisis because of how big Japan was in the east

[summer dawn]

🐦‍⬛

[tall timber]

Jolyne would use a vibrator as a weapon

[north cliff]

Famously impotent compared to the UN, even if the UN isnt necessarily decisive in global politics

[median solstice]

The UN has least has a peacekeeping force but even then it doesn't do much when the big countries like China USA Russia even France and Britain to an extent

[near dirge]

Hi chat

[median solstice]

Also being useless with how much power the USA within it

[near dirge]

Why we arguing about the league of nations and the UN now

[north cliff]

I kinda think Valentine is meant to have subtle parallels with admiral Yamamoto but I'm unsure if this is a reach

[median solstice]

I think he would be

[north cliff]

Yamamoto had like similar thoughts to the whole napkin moving concept

[median solstice]

Honestly valentine could have been a great criticism of modern democracy with how lobbyists is basically corruption and bribery

[north cliff]

In the sense that he thought first action is a grandiose type of power

[lofty current]

Yall are ass at life

[near dirge]

He's right in the sense that the people who decide things first have incredible historical power but the way he went about is wrong

[median solstice]

I wish he was more of a caricature to make fun of extreme nationism

[forest vine]

Of course dio would pull out his trusty musket, such as the founding fathers intended

[north cliff]

Tally fucking ho

[median solstice]

That's when jjba is at its best imo when it makes it's villains so ridiculous yet still make them have such great writing and importance

Kars embodies this idea to the max and love him for that

[median solstice]

While wearing a traditional red coat like the true Englishman he is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[north cliff]

I like Araki's use of villains as a social critique of for example sociopathy and perversion or self absorbed patriotism that starts after the vampire trilogy

[median solstice]

Kira does it the best imo

Him and pucci

[north cliff]

They're a distillation of immorality

[forest vine]

Quite agreeable, Hisagi kind sir

[median solstice]

Yeah and the irony they both have

Especially pucci

[north cliff]

Dio the type of dude to use grapeshot in a home invasion

[median solstice]

How he is a priest yet loses himself to the lust of power and his idolatry of Dio

[north cliff]

Because Dio is his Christ imo

Continuing the work of the dead to redeem the world

[median solstice]

In a way yeah especially how vulnerable he is when they meet

How religion sometimes preys on the most vulnerable in society

[north cliff]

To me that's very thematically christian

Though I do kinda think Araki does lack specific knowledge of Catholicism and this is why he avoided writing in a way where that's a weakness

[median solstice]

To a degree yeah I kinda see Dio as a prophet like figure and pucci sees himself as that Christ figure who redeems the world of their sins

[woeful flame]

i feel like jotaro would use brass knuckles (though it looks liek his stand has that already) as he just fits that type of thing

dio already used a weapon

[median solstice]

I wish he kinda expanded on his Sicilian background

Him being Sicilian is very important

Because Sicily quite poor compared to the north of Italy having a very seasonal economy and him being a catholic priest is a reaction to him being from a very poor place

[north cliff]

I actually disagree tbh and view Dio as Puccis sort of dark Christ whereas Pucci is actualizing Christ viewing himself more as a saint

Dio has that blood and wine association which you can reference for part 6 context and can be interpreted as a martyr to pucci

[near dirge]

He was raised in a Christian school

I think he avoids the subject because he doesn't like it much

[median solstice]

That's why I see him more as a prophet like figure and how his flaw kinda is how he raised pucci leading to his death

[near dirge]

There's some clear parallels with Diavolo and Giorno in part 5 to Christ and the Devil

[median solstice]

Christianity≠Catholicism

[near dirge]

the modern image of Christianity is largely catholic

[median solstice]

To be a catholic you have to be Christian to be a Christian you don't have to be catholic

[strong forge]

Jojo 1: a sword
Jojo 2 : a tommy gun
Jojo3: american fist
Jojo4: his bag
Giogio5: a suitcase
Jojo6: a prison metal
Jojo7: horse
Jojo8: whatever
Jojo9:DrU G s !!

[median solstice]

Its evangelical id argue

Especially in the states

[north cliff]

I don't understand what you mean because I said he lacks knowledge of catholicism

[rain swift]

@north cliff, your Stand Rank is now 12!

[near dirge]

I don't know much but Japan does have a sizable christian population, I think their beliefs are somewhat catholic in a sense?

[median solstice]

People tend to to associate Christianity with those preachers in public which is very much is evangelical rather than Catholicism which tends to use schooling

[north cliff]

Araki attended a protestant school

Not a catholic one

[median solstice]

The Dutch that came over to Japan was protestant btw

[hard yacht]

Idk like their stand or smth

[near dirge]

I think it's largely due to him wanting to portray it in certain ways, he did go to England and the US and Italy to research to write his manga, I hardly doubt he wouldn't research catholicism before writing it as a main theme in part 7

[dapper ledge]

Jonathan: sword
Dio: knives
Joseph: something blunt like a bat
Kars: Swords
Jotaro: his fists
Josuke: maybe a bat but his fists when you insult his hair
Jolyne: taser
Pucci: gun
Johnny: Gun
Valentine: gun
Gappy: bubble blower
Toru: knife

[north cliff]

Imo if Araki went into the weeds it'd be more likely he approached protestantism but on the flip side I think protestantism might be too farmiliar and uncomfortable vs some recovery of Christian ethics because Araki is very socially progressive

[median solstice]

The Portuguese was catholic but didn't have as much as an impact as the Dutch did id argue

[median solstice]

Protestantism can be VERY hard right wing which is smth that araki isn't he is very progressive

[north cliff]

He's like a 65 year old in a conservative country who is very queer supportive and like inclusive so I think he has reservations

[median solstice]

Catholicism tends to be a lot more left wing that it used to be

Especially under pope Francis and Leo

[north cliff]

Depends I grew up with a stepdad who was like supportive of Vatican I and it was insane

He was like a sedevacantist

[median solstice]

Pope Francis very much was known for being very progressive within his views

[median solstice]

Depends older Catholics tend to be a lot more conservative especially on Catholic issues younger catholics are very much more aligned with the modern Catholic church being quite progressive

Francis is more consistently distributist/welfarist than the other 21st century popes and I think that's why he has the left wing association when I would pin him as like moderately left wing and a racially egalitarian soft conservative

Sounds self contradictory but it makes sense in catholicism

[median solstice]

Yeah Catholicism tends to be very right wing and rigid within its belief set while pope Francis very much for a pope was progressive and Leo seems to be asw denouncing what the American government is doing and the current state of immigrant hatred around western countries

Pope Francis also went on the most state visits out of any pope ever

[north cliff]

If it's been consensus for a while that if you're not supportive of racial equality you contravene Thomas Aquinas' ethics so intellectually consistent Catholics either reject Aristotle and become somewhat heretical or reject racism

How well this is applied practically varies

[median solstice]

He always pushed the idea of coming together with other religions to speak on issues

[north cliff]

It's different from protestant racial ethics which I would say are more split with regards to there being an imperative for racial equality

Like methodists are consistently for it Baptists against for example

[north cliff]

Catholicism has a thing where it's more or less bottlenecked into Aristotleanism wrt ethics which I guess isn't necessarily bad even if I have some conflicts with Thomas Aquinas and prefer aristotleans like WD Ross who have surpassed Eudaimonia

Ross genuinely my goat wrt ethical philosophy

[cursive walrus]

^editing it

[near dirge]

An IED of all things?

[north cliff]

IED feels very Kira

[timber shore]

Diavolo is using a sickle I know it

[north cliff]

But like

[near dirge]

An IED represents certain parts of Kira very well but I don't think he'd use it

[north cliff]

Only if it's a remotely controlled ied

[near dirge]

He considers himself a lot cleaner then that

[cursive walrus]

that's the idea

[north cliff]

There are well made IEDs

It takes skill and a methodical nature that can be impractical though

Hypothetically if there was like no stand an actual remote controlled explosive would be good for his character I think

With the stand it might be like redundant

[cursive walrus]

im taking into account that stands don't exist

[north cliff]

That like finger on the button is so iconic

[cursive walrus]

if stands exist, what's the point of a weapon?

[near dirge]

that click is truly straight from heaven

[cursive walrus]

fr

[north cliff]

He is genuinely feeling himself so much every time he does it I wouldnt be surprised if Araki said its not necessary for activating his ability

[cursive walrus]

added the rest of the goobers

lowk wish i could see a drawn version of pucci lol

[north cliff]

Could go either way imo because hamon and stand users like striking poses

I wonder if QOTD popping off today has anything to do with the severe weather for others

[twilit harbor]

id imagin diavolo using a gun

hes a mafia boss after all why use a stand while u can just one tap him with a bullet

[muted flint]

Gyro teams up with chris hansel and they defeat valentines using the power of cancelling

[gusty wave]

I ain't crying either

https://tenor.com/view/ragebait-rage-bait-lol-lmao-gif-3554026694133497645

[grim root]

King Crimson with a gun would actually be op

ANY gun tbh

[narrow vale]

do they still have stands

[tawny blaze]

Josuke would use a hammer(because hammer repairs things like crazy diamond) and Kira would use a knife

At least I think so even though I'm not yet at part 4

[coarse blade]

Jonathan: A sword (I wonder why)
Joseph: Everything (I wonder why)
Jotaro: Brass Knuckles (Delinquent Weapon Nr. 1)
Josuke: Bat (Delinquent Weapon Nr. 2)
Giorno: The Blicky
Jolyne: DIY Shank
Johnny: He is the fucking weapon
Gappy: Monkey‘s Paw
Jodio: A rock

Dio: Dagger
Kars: He is the fucking weapon
DIO: More Daggers
Kira: Poison Darts
Diavolo: Blicky
Pucci: The Bible (Mozgus Moment)
Valentine: Blicky
Tooru: Cane Sword
Howler: A Rock

[tawny blaze]

Joseph using everything is genuinely too accurate. This guy would legit somehow manage to kill Kars with a single piece of toilet paper if he found it at his disposal

[near dirge]

Kira did use a knife to kill people before he got KQ

[coarse blade]

Joseph Joestar is THE personification of Battle IQ

[near dirge]

I enjoy his character

[tawny blaze]

Was gonna add that kira might use a grenade launcher after KQ considering how much he loves spamming the explosive move

[coarse blade]

Even as a Geezer, he made hermit purple, which is one of the weaker stands of part 3 INSANELY useful

[near dirge]

The people who say he predicts shit because of hermit purple will never cease to piss me off though

[coarse blade]

Hear me out: Thermite Powder

Commonly placed on locks. Isnt too loud iirc and looks sort of like an explosion

[near dirge]

Killer Queen's explosive power comes largely because of how Kira's impulses are largely uncontrollable, and well, explosive

[rain swift]

@near dirge, your Stand Rank is now 8!

[tawny blaze]

Yeah this mf legit drew out the entire map of a city to use Hermit Purple to find tar to kill Empress with

[near dirge]

It also erases things due to his will to erase his crimes

[tawny blaze]

"I want to live a quiet life" my ass bruh

[coarse blade]

This man somehow made his grandson clutch against a man WHO CAN READ YOUR SOUL

WITHOUT HAVING THE CHANCE TO EXPLAIN THE PLAN TO HIM

[near dirge]

The entire point of his character is that he can never ever live a quiet life

His impulses directly counter that, which is why there's such a contrast between Killer Queen and SHA

[tawny blaze]

Wait I'm not done with part 3 yet, which episode is that? Dont tell me the name of the villain in that one

[coarse blade]

Oh

[gentle flicker]

Old Joseph with spiderman spiderwebs and a Thompson just in case

[coarse blade]

Mb

Genuinely mb king

[tawny blaze]

Fair but whats SHA

[coarse blade]

Idk the exact number but its decently late

[tawny blaze]

Like when they revive Avdol or..

[coarse blade]

Later

[tawny blaze]

Or after Vanilla Ice does his bs

[coarse blade]

Before

VERY close to vanilla ice but before

[near dirge]

Sheer Heart Attack

[tawny blaze]

Because im somewhat spoiled on part 3 but I still enjoy it because I havent seen the episodes fully, just clips of certain episodss

[vapid axle]

Dio sucks Joseph

[tawny blaze]

If Iggy was not the fool

[tawny blaze]

Mf is OBSESSED with the Joestars ngl

[coarse blade]

Thats the peak of jojo

[near dirge]

It's an automatic bomb stand that's the secondary bomb of Killer Queen, it pursues the closest possible heat signal and explodes in a large radius, it's shell is also unbreakable

[tawny blaze]

Kept Jonathans body like he was reminisicing bruh

[coarse blade]

You can get spoiled for the main shit and still get surprised because of how bizarre that is

[tawny blaze]

Yep, no matter how spoiled you are Araki is just that talented man.

[coarse blade]

Araki is truly one of the most goated artists of this generation

Peak storytelling
Peak art
And he‘s a pretty chill guy too from the shit I‘ve seen

[tawny blaze]

Like mf I did NOT expect Gorlock the Destroyer to rip out of Empress and die. Straight up like that one Noob Saibot fatality from MK11

[coarse blade]

(Ruroni Kenshin incident)

[coarse blade]

NAH 😭🙏

[tawny blaze]

Tf happened

[coarse blade]

Ruroni Kenshin author had „those“ things on his hard drive

And for the anniversary of ruroni kenshin a lot of mangakas drew tributes

[tawny blaze]

[coarse blade]

Araki drew one too

[tawny blaze]

But soon regretted it after finding out?

[coarse blade]

But he trilled

He genuinely trolled

[tender stream]

Funny valentine would use his right to bear arms

[rain swift]

A weapon

[vast helm]

https://giphy.com/gifs/bbcamerica-bbc-america-seasonal-wonderlands-sw103-QWGuOFoq82eGx34Zhd

Guns, THE AMERICAN WAY

[quaint pilot]

Jonathan has a sword,
Joseph…..well, a Tommy gun,
Jotaro his fists,
Josuke a hammer but if you insult his hair it becomes a nuke

[south dawn]

Kars would use a cool katana if he knew what they were

[lyric ivy]

Ciococolata would use needles

[brisk stump]

Dio would probably use something like a butterfly knife

okuyasu would use a shoe

[hot isle]

Mista would use a gun

Sorry for the bad joke

[north cliff]

I feel like mista is unfair because he's already extremely firmly established as depending on a 6 shot revolver

[real adder]

obvoisuly kira would use his false identitys son as a landmine tyoe weapon if this is btd kira

[willow raven]

Jonathan would use pluck, and Dio, anything which can conduct heat. Joseph would use his yoyos or whatever is in his inventory, and Kars would use his bone blades. Jotaro would most likely use a revolver, a heavy ass physics textbook, or a shoe, and DIO would use knives. Josuke would use a Comb, and Kira would use anything. Giorno would probably use a metal rod, turn it into a shrimp, force feed it down your throat and reverse it back into a rod, and diavolo would probably use some rocks. Jolyne would use a d*ldo, and pucci would use a hyper sharpened Dio body pillow. Johnny would use his nails, and Valentine a revolver. Josuk8 would use a book, some knife, or a lemon, and tooru would use chemical warfare. and idk what jodio would use.

[earnest grail]

joseph got that entire arsenal up his ass

[frail dawn]

i see the vision

[quartz tendon]

Literally

[leaden kernel]

Jonathan and Joseph alr have weapons being Pluck and the clackers

So Jotaro I think would use brass knuckles because he’s a delinquent and that’s the most delinquent weapon I can think of

Josuke I feel would use a hammer

Giorno would use some Italian switch knife like a stilleto knife

Jolyne lives in the us so she’s using every and any American gun

Wait jolyne with an m1 garand

That would be tuff

[cinder lance]

stinky poo sword

[south dawn]

Joseph would use a table if he didnt have a gun

narancia uses a butter knife

[round thistle]

i’m assuming this is saying other than the weapons they already use
JoJos:

1. crossbow
2. some bug he finds off the ground idk
3. he has too much aura for weapons
4. switchblade
5. gun
6. cinderblock (she could swing it around with her string)

Villains:

1. rapier
2. he has no reason to use any weapons
3. the automobile
4. wouldnt use any weapons in combat, but he would prob use a nail file or something to torture koichi
5. baseball bat
6. he would just be smacking people with a bible highk

[snow patio]

Dio and an ambulance
