* KarmaHoudini: Despite being a sadistic murderer, Kakyoin, the only one aware of Mannish Boy's crimes, ultimately refuses to do him any lasting harm [[WouldNotHurtAChild due to being a baby]], and apart from [[RevengeIsADishBestServed being fed some of his own poop]], he doesn't get any serious punishment for his crimes. Kakyoin, [[JustifiedTrope knowing that his companions would think he's insane if he accuses the baby of being a Stand user -- which nearly got him kicked out of the group]] -- has Mannish Boy dropped off in the nearest town. That being said, Kakyoin ''does'' make it clear as he inflicts it that he only gets one chance, solely due to his age: and that if Mannish Boy tries anything again, he ''will'' come back and finish him off regardless.

* VillainousUnderdog: While prior Parts tended to have the villains be superior to the protagonists in terms of raw strength, the majority of the Tarot and Glory Gods take a different spin: the ''heroes'' are the ones who are overall stronger. With the exception of Hermit Purple and arguably The Fool, all of the Joestar Group have Stands that are powerful and versatile, backing up solid-to-excellent physical abilities with unique tricks. Meanwhile, the villains tend to have stands that are specialized (Dark Blue Moon loses most of its effectiveness when not near water, Death 13 can only operate in a dream world), cumbersome (Ebony Devil requires the user to take serious harm before it activates, Osiris and Atum only take effect after beating the opponent in a game), or weak (Lovers is microscopic with strength to match, Khnum and Tohth have no offensive applications whatsoever). Even stronger Stands like Emperor, The Sun and Yellow Temperance are held back by [[PowerfulButIncompetent their users being idiots]]. This is such that, whenever it comes down to an actual one-on-one fair fight, the heroes will basically always win. The villains are considered dangerous because in nearly every case, they have surprise, [[HomeFieldAdvantage favorable circumstances]], and foreknowledge of the heroes' strengths and weaknesses. This effectively turns each fight into a PuzzleBoss where the heroes have to figure out what the villain is up to and how to force the fight off the villain's terms and onto theirs, at which point the battle is decided. When this trope is averted and the villain seems to be on par with or superior to the Joestar Group in a straight fight (N'Doul, Pet Shop, Vanilla Ice, DIO), that usually means things are about to go ''very'' badly.

* PowerfulButIncompetent: Yellow Temperance is an incredibly strong Stand: none of Jotaro's attacks did any permanent damage to it, it has no obvious weaknesses, and its shapeshifting means that Rubber Soul can infiltrate a group with ease. A smarter wielder could have probably wiped out the whole Joestar Group by just isolating them and eating them one by one. Fortunately for the good guys, Rubber Soul is an idiot who blows his disguises by acting like a jackass, lets Jotaro escape multiple times, and gets lured into a trap in a fashion that suggests he forgot he was capable of drowning.

* JustToyingWithThem: After mutilating Philips, DIO cruelly messes with him afterward by seemingly letting him escape into the road through one of his car's side doors... only to then use [[TimeStandsStill The World]] to have him run right back into the car through the other door, [[KickTheDog just because he]] ''[[KickTheDog can]]''.
