Numerous characters, especially former antagonists like Kars, are shown to regret their past actions, ruminate on things that could have been and reflect on their past selves. Some accept their losses and try to move on with their lives (like Ikuro and Joseph), some get second chances to make amends (like Kars). The BigBad calls himself "a man with no regrets" and uses his stand ability to ensure that.

* PersonOfMassDestruction: Forty Six & 2 allows Karaiya to be this, casually putting a third of the Pink Dark Rhapsody 2000 territory on fire with twisting his ability to be explosive. [[spoiler:In Chapter 27 Baoh, having taken control from Ikuro, uses the exact same ability against Maynard and Josuke.]]
** Koichi recognizes his own potential to be this because of how Echoes and its [=ACTs=] work. A giant wind sound graffiti of [=ACT2=] merely pushed the air balloon falling onto the Morioh Grand Hotel, but Koichi reasons that a giant explosion sound graffiti could level it and the neighboring territory. [=ACT3=] is also described to behave unpredictably, but with great effect, which is why Koichi limits himself to [=ACT3=] Freeze, since it's an ability he knows well.

The Baoh parasite, in fact, begins to act on its own, controlling Ikuro's body, especially when he's put out of commission trying to kill himself against Undertow.]]
