Also, Fan Fic Fuel:

  • Every Stand introduced since Part 3 only takes the appearance and abilities demonstrated in their initial appearance. Which Joestar group is the most screwed?
  • And I mean initial appearance:
    • Star Platinum is just a hand/forearm that can stop bullets from near point-blank range and steal items invisibly/and autonomously.
    • Josuke's Crazy Diamond is actually just a giant muscled arm that can punch people.
    • Stand Arrows no longer function, Killer Queen never gains Bites the Dust or any of its additional bombs.

I'm not sure about that. If I'm not misrembering anything, Valentine's introduction had him talking to a mirror, so that would be his only ability in this setting. That's less lethal than Johnny's spinless nail bullets.

I was thinking more like, "Kakyoin controls people via marionettes" or "Star Platinum is strong, fast and steals stuff from far away". Less, literally what the character is doing in their introduction panel. That's kinda... dumb?

"Star Platinum is strong, fast and steals stuff from far away".

Star Platinum's forearm is still strong and fast and savvy enough to catch bullets and apparently steal objects. I was being a bit too precise with "initial appearance." But whether it's dumb or not, it's supposed to be limiting.

I had the idea watching that Abridged episode - they edit the Josuke vs Jotaro fight so that Jotaro punches Josuke immediately, its very fast, faster than in the actual episode I believe. All we see is Josuke's Stand's arm. That gave me a funny thought: what if that's all there was to Josuke's stand, fixing small creatures like turtles and punching? What if the Stand didn't manifest as a giant, heart-studded, pink-skinned warrior? Who said Stands had to be massive, humanoid avatars? And who said their abilities have to be convenient?

And then I thought about how that might screw over later villains - what if instead of giant spiritual warriors they only partially manifested with some of their initial powers.

The poses and reveals of different Stands in Jojo are so bizarre most of the time I figured there could be a bunch of amusing scenarios.

As in Dio's case, he only gets Hermit Purple in the Crusaders arc because that's the first thing he uses. He's still a vampire. Avdol isn't affected much since IIRC from the anime he pretty much unveils his Stand in full. Kakayoin could only have the possession ability, etc.

Polnareff's sword turns the opponent's Stand ability into giant clocks.

On the topic of Stands having weird introductions​, where did Geb make that fish come from?

So, I may be behind the curve on this one, but I just found out the plant appraiser's Stand is called Doggy Style. I wasn't expecting that.

I have to wonder how he or Diavolo knew what his Stand would do if he had to die to activate it.

Huh... Here's a thought: I've heard it said that Giorno was immune to the effects of Stairway to Heaven due to Gold Experience Requiem. If that's so (and I'm not just mixing him up with Rohan) them would that affect things Gold Experience has affected, like Diavolo?

[up][up][up][up]Araki doesn't need drugs for inspiration. He just does normal manga author things like eating bugs and hanging out with midget schoolboys.

I thought it was agreed upon that Araki finds inspiration by hitting random page on wikipedia.

Me, I believe that Araki stopped giving a shit when people accepted that the protagonist has four testicles.

When you can accept that as part of the premise, anything goes.

I think it more or less already has to be honest? Araki's pretty much at the top of his game when it comes to writing these days.
