"Well, it would hardly be fair of me to kill you all without at least explaining my powers fully. Do you mind if we take a time-out for an explanation?"
—Jean-Pierre Polnareff, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders
"Stand users never reveal their abilities! Even though we may be allies, to reveal your ability is to reveal your weakness!"
— Rubber Soul, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders
"Your Stand is like your asshole. You can't go around showing it off to other people."
— Norisuke Higashikata IV, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: JoJolion
Stockman: That ploy might have worked against a lesser mechanoid, but as always, I'm one step ahead in my design work. In addition to the central power nodules, each component in my cyborg armor has its own internal backup power source! Hah!
Donnie: [approaches the Arm Cannon Leo previously sliced off] So, what you're saying is... this arm should still be fully functional, right? [levels it at Stockman]
Stockman: ...Oh no.

Stockman: ...Oh no.
Hamilton: Let me say this as clearly as I can. You cannot beat me. I am a part of them. The Wolf, Ram, and Hart. Their strength flows through my veins. My blood is filled with their ancient power.
Angel: [stands up, smirks] Can you pick out the one word there you probably shouldn't have said? [vamps out and bites Hamilton's neck, jumping back] Wow! You really are full of it.

"My ability is to release a bunch of jelly or jam or slime or something all out over my body, and that can be stuck on my opponent. I can turn myself into rubber, too. It's pretty damn awesome. This Handsome....my Handsome power, and my Temperance is stuck on you temporarily."
— Rubber Soul, Vaguely Recalling JoJo: Jotaro's Journey
Blueblood: Stop that!
Rarity: Stop what?
Blueblood: Using dirty little tricks! You only injure me when you pull out some weird fake-out maneuver out of nowhere with that icky blood power! That spike didn’t even come from the disgusting pool that you have flying around! Where did it even come from!?
Rarity: Oh, are we sharing the secrets of our abilities now? I’ve seen this part of Rainbow Dash’s quaint Japanese cartoons. The characters do so love to talk about how their powers work in those shows. Sorry, darling, but I don’t think I want to tell you anything. Doesn’t strike me as a very smart thing to do. Of course if you want to tell me about your abilities, I’m all ears.

"I probably shouldn't monologue at you, but you're about to die anyway, so I suppose I can explain. My Dragon Witch ability allows me to empower or command dragons as I see fit. A Servant with a weaker mind would have bent to my will already, but it seems that you're strong enough to simply feel my powers wearing on yours."
— Avenger, Fate/Harem Antics
Sydney: That's it! I'm declaring Silver Age Rules! You have to introduce yourself with your name and your powers! Otherwise you'll end up being called Stick Girl or something.
Heavenly Sword: Silver Age Rules? I can get behind that. My name is Heavenly Sword, and my power is... this! [uses a wooden sword to produce a Sword Beam]

Viridi: That's a Jitterthug. Melee attacks won't hurt him at all when he's red. And when he's green, shooting him won't work! What are you gonna do now?
Pit: Uh... I guess I'll just melee him when he's green and shoot him when he's red.
Viridi: But... Oh, darn it!
Palutena: Thanks for the advice!
Pit: Uh... I guess I'll just melee him when he's green and shoot him when he's red.

Enforcer 1: I suggest you stay down now, and let me finish you off. I'll make it fast.
Bullfrog: You know, I have this... strange power. I blow bubbles.
Enforcer 2: ...You havin' a laugh?
Bullfrog: I blow bubbles, and in them I can see images. Images from the past, and sometimes the future.
[The enforcers begin to laugh]
Enforcer 2: Is that a French thing?
Enforcer 3: That is so disgusting.
Enforcer 1: He can't be serious.
Bullfrog: I am serious. Would you like to know which one of you will die first?
