* CrazyPrepared: When Jojo challenges them to a fight after giving him time to train, they immediately force a time-delayed poison into his body so they can use a PoisonAndCureGambit to make sure he can't back out. Esidisi, Wamuu, and Kars were all carrying hollow rings filled with poison just for this purpose. They also ensure that their rings are filled with different poisons and fuse them into Joseph's vital organs to ensure that their victim must face them individually and can't remove the rings surgically just to ensure that there is no escape.

* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Ancient {{Mayincatec}} demigod Subverted. While the Stone Mask-augmented Pillar Men have vampiric traits such as being LifeDrinkers and being weak to sunlight and Hamon, they're never officially referred to as vampires at that.(in fact, they ''eat'' vampires) and show a few noticeable differences. Not only does sunlight merely turn them to stone, but their consumption of other beings seems to be inherent, as normal Pillar Men bore fangs and claws while showing no sign of bloodlust or ferocity.
