Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

And also that pylon in part four that would only let you leave if someone took your place.

So it seems like inanimate stands need some sort of living host to function.

In other words, Stands seem to mostly depend on living beings (even if just originating in them) but can be passed on to inanimate objects. Anubis, Superfly and the Gucci bag Stand would be examples.

Then we have a case for Stands being able to be born out of, well, dead beings and remain fully functioning without a living host, like Notorious B.I.G.

... And that's called jazz!

You know, I was kind of bitter about this divide between the versatility of Hamon vs Stands. I think Hamon could've still been pretty crazy, I mean it was already breaking it's own rules. And Joseph was living proof you could do some crazy stuff with it.

That said. I really freaking love Stands.

I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!

And it turns out I'd forgotten that Silver Chariot Requiem was a stand that manifests physically.

Dolly Dagger from 'Purple Haze Feedback is another Stand that is bound to a physical object—a dagger—and has a physical form.

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.

You know, I've been looking up Rule 63 of the Joestars and I've suddenly come down with an idea: Rule 63 Jonathan Joestar actually has story potential.

Trans rights are human rights. TV Tropes is not a place for bigotry, cruelty, or dickishness, no matter who or their position.

That would be true regardless of whether Dio was Rule 63'd or not.

There is one story that has rule 63 Jonathan Joestar, and she and Dio were fiances before he was discovered to be poisoning her father.

It also have Joahnna Joestar's love interest in this fiction to be Speedwagon as well.

...Speedwagon? Why?

Edit: Erm, sorry, read that wrong.

I approve of this ship.

I felt like part 2 made Hamon worse actually :/ Lisa Lisa and Ceasar were cool with it but it becoming an inherited thing was kind of lame. Also I missed the color coded overdrives from, kind of wish they developed Hamon more around that.

Part 2 made Hamon too random. It did anything and everything from turning a few strands of hair into a bulletproof shield, to brainwashing random women, to giving your arm a clean shave.

And shoving a living pigeon into a woman's mouth.

My various fanfics.

I mean, it's not any wackier than the stuff that started to show up Part 5 and beyond, like using rainbows to turn people into frogs or rock monsters that cry plastic.

Let's see if you can get past my Beelzemon. Mephiles, WARP SHINKA!

That pigeon trick was some bizarre stuff.

Secret Signature

Araki took it as a challenge when he named the series Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

Wake me up at your own risk.

One of my favorites was Caesar catching spaghetti with another piece of spaghetti, and redirecting it into a glass of wine.

I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!

The difference is that those things are all their own powers with their own limitations and rules. Hamon is just supposed to be sunlight breathing power so it's a bit ridiculous that it just randomly does whatever.

Speedwagon devotes his life to aiding Jonathan and his family within like five minutes of meeting him. That kind of devotion is catnip to shippers.

Yeah, shippers. Those crazy kooks...

...In the deepest parts of my heart, I believe Speedwagon never married because he just couldn't get over the death of his love in a accident at sea...

You mean Dio? Because he didn't die.

He came back as like a zombie Joestar with time powers or something. Speedwagon's celibacy is invalid.

Diamond is Unbreakable movie trailer.

The only Stand that looks weird is Aqua Necklace. That time stop, though.

I'm kinda disappointed the Stands are C Gs instead of Japanese people in colored spandex. It feels like this movie doesn't get the spirit of live-action adaptations.

The transparent effect of Crazy Diamond reminds the way ghosts look in Ghostbusters.

I'm pretty okay with things trying not to be crap, personally.

And let's be real, anything Jojo is going to have plenty of goofy nonsense without needing to add in extra.
