* GodNeverSaidThat: Due to the following part introducing Requiem Stands, many people have stated that Yoshikage's Bites The Dust was a Requiem Stand. WordOfGod has never stated anything of that sort and instead explains it as a new power he was given by the Stand Arrow that matched what he needed. It's possible that Bites the Dust was a proto-Requiem Stand, and was probably experimenting with the concepts of evolved stands before it officially became a plot point in Part 5.

* WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants: Araki is known for this, but aside from Part 8, it's probably most apparent here. The first half of the series goes through implied [[BigBad Big Bads]] [[TheBigBadShuffle like there's a revolving door]]. Even Kira is utterly backed into a corner shortly after his introduction just like the others. As if Araki realized he should probably settle on a true BigBad by that point, Kira gets bailed out at the last possible second, allowing him to secure his place as the Part's main villain. The anime adaptation helps offset this by adding scenes that tease Kira from the very beginning.

* ShrugOfGod: The alien/human nature of Mikitaka Hazekura/Nu Mikitakazo Nshi is purposefully left ambiguous by Araki. The closest he has come to answering is to state in an artbook that Aliens are "just barely acceptable" within the [=JoJo=] fiction, without directly referring to Mikitaka himself.
