* Okuyasu's The Hand can erase anything it can swipe its right hand over. This includes empty space. While this ability is incredibly powerful, it has several major flaws. First, it can only erase with its right hand. If the opponent immobilizes or otherwise avoids that hand, the power is effectively useless. Second, it can only erase in a relatively small area, so particularly large objects or attacks can require multiple swipes, which isn't always practical to do. Third, when it erases space, it draws in everything in front of the area he swiped to fill it at high speed. Okuyasu knocked himself out when potted plants in behind his intended target were drawn to his position when he erased space carelessly. Fourth, the ability is so destructive that it cannot be used without on a living thing directly without causing mutilation or outright death. Something that the [[BruiserWithASoftCenter rough, but kind-hearted Okuyasu]] refuses to ever do.

** Act 2 acts similarly to its predecessor by launching the tip of its tail to leave written noises, but if the written sound effect is touched, the target will experience whatever that sound effect implies. However, this is dependent on Koichi coming up with the proper sound effect for each situation and requires him to trick the opponent into touching the writing to work. Because the writing is made from Echoes Act 2's tail, he can only have one active at a time unless his Stand can find and retrieve its tail from the current one.
** Act 3, the final evolution, gains a humanoid body and the power to add crushing weight to anything it punches. Unfortunately, it's extremely physically weak and can only use its power on one target at a time while remaining physically close to it to keep the effect going. So if faced with multiple threats or the opponent is physically strong enough to overcome the weight, Koichi's out of options.
* Antonio Trussardi's Pearl Jam can make food that cures any illness or injury, but HealingMagicIsTheHardest, and his Stand comes with a lot of caveats. First, basic rules of cooking still apply, so a messed-up dish simply won't work (although given that he is a professional chef, this is not too big of a weakness). Also, each dish only cures one ailment at a time, with rarer and more difficult-to-treat diseases requiring proportionately rare ingredients, so Tonio's Stand requires a lot of knowledge and preparation to work correctly. As shown when attempted on Okuyasu's father, conditions induced by Stand powers or other supernatural effects cannot be reversed by Pearl Jam as they do not technically qualify as physical ailments.

* Double subverted in the fight with Ghiaccio. His Stand, White Album, encases him in a suit made of ice. Mista figures out that he needs to be able to breathe, and locates a hidden air vent on the back of Ghiaccio's neck... only for Ghiaccio to activate a secondary ability, White Album Gently Weeps, that lets him freeze the air over the hole and throw back any projectile. But Mista also realizes that the hole is still an inherent weak point on the armor that can't be fully sealed and Ghiaccio still feels the impact of his bullets, even if they don't damage him. So he shoots lamp post until some of its pieces are shaped into a jagged point, lines Ghiaccio up with his breathing bent facing the point, and empties his pistol at him. Ghiaccio throws the bullets back, but [[InertiaIsAHarshMistress the momentum of each bullet throws himself back slightly]] which eventually ends with Ghiaccio impaling his neck on the post.

* Josuke's Crazy Diamond seems to be a [[HealingHands healing Stand]], but its true ability is to revert objects to an earlier state. The distinction gives him several advantages, but also means that he cannot create new matter, just reassemble and restore a target's existing pieces. So while he could, for example, reattach someone's severed limb, if the limb were to be completely destroyed or otherwise prevented from reattaching to the main body, there would be nothing he could do for them. It also means when Okuyasu's Stand The Hand destroys something with his right hand (which sends it to another dimension), Josuke can't repair it. Anything Killer Queen turns into a bomb is usually vaporized, destroying it thoroughly enough that it's beyond Crazy Diamond's powers.
** On a more personal level, Crazy Diamond's power is [[PersonalityPowers a physical representation of Josuke's compassion and selflessness]]. While it says something about Josuke's noble nature, it unfortunately means that he can't use Crazy Diamond's power to restore his own wounds. He has to deal with injuries that he suffers the old fashioned way. His grandfather's fate shows Josuke that not even his powers can restore someone after death, which is [[MagicAIsMagicA a consistent rule]] in the ''[=JoJo=]'' universe -- [[AllDeathsFinal once someone dies, there's no Stand ability anywhere that can bring them back, no matter how powerful it is]].

* Koichi's Echoes has a variety of [[MakeSomeNoise sound-based powers]] across its three Acts. However, each has its own set of weaknesses.
** In Act 1, it can project messages and other sounds by launching the tip of its tail at a target to leave the written word. Unfortunately, it's just that, sound. It has no other combat ability, so a determined or delusional opponent can simply ignore the noise and keep attacking.
** Act 2 acts similarly to its predecessor by launching the tip of its tail to leave written noises, but if the written sound effect is touched, the target will experience whatever that sound effect implies.

* Narancia's Aerosmith has a carbon dioxide radar that can track enemies through their breathing. However, there's two issues that it falls victim to.

** King Crimson's ability essentially removes Diavolo from causality for eleven seconds, rendering him invincible. But because he's as incapable of affecting the world as the world is as affecting him, has to turn it off to actually attack. Afterwards it takes a few seconds for him to get his bearings before he can activate the skip again, leaving him momentarily vulnerable. If an enemy has fast enough reflexes, they can counter whatever Diavolo plans to do. If they predict well enough, they can set up an attack to connect the moment he returns to the normal flow of time again.

* As a whole, Stands have one major weakness dependent on the user; they're your fighting instincts/passion personified. If a character has no ability to stand up for themselves or what they believe in, then they'll end up with Stands with low stats to match, and occasionally Stands that harm or even ''kill'' the user. A standout example is Masazo Kinoto of Part 4: he was shot by a Stand Arrow and was just determined enough to not die from it, but literally only ''just''. He was too passive to actually control his power and ended up with Cheap Trick, a Stand that will kill him if anyone looks at his back (and then jump to the person who looked to repeat the cycle). To make matters worse, it's sentient, malicious, and capable of speech that normal people can hear... so it actively calls out to people so they can look at its current host so it can continue its killing spree.

** Sex Pistols can redirect Mista's gunshots in unpredictable ways, but Mista's bullets aren't part of his Stand. While they're lethal to humans, they're still mundane objects incapable of damaging other Stands. The six Sex Pistols are far too small and weak to either fight themselves or defend Mista from other Stands. Mista's only strategy in battle is to target his opponent's human body directly as he has no method of contesting an enemy Stand itself. As Mista's gun of choice is a short-range revolver, other long-range Stand user's are his greatest weakness.

* Ungalo's Stand, Bohemian Rhapsody, forces its victims to live out the experiences of their favorite fictional characters as if they were that character, and if said character dies in the story, the victim will die too. Nothing, not even Stand powers, can avert the events of these stories. Ungalo can expand the range of victims to the entire world population besides himself, meaning if left unchecked, Ungalo would eventually kill all other humans in the world. He even isolates himself to an international flight to ensure his enemies have no chance of attacking or killing him to stop his Stand. However, he has no control over which stories his Stand manifests or what any of the characters brought to life do. More importantly, overlapping with LoopholeAbuse, Bohemian Rhapsody isn't restricted to stories created ''before'' the Stand manifests. This allows Ungalo's enemies to come up with a perfect counter with enough time and a little ingenuity. [[spoiler:If someone creates a story about a superhero who instantaneously rescues people trapped in other realities against their will, and returns them and whatever characters were brought to life to their home realities. Someone then says this superhero is their favorite character. This means that, sooner or later, Bohemian Rhapsody ''will'' generate this story, causing the Stand and everything it's done to instantly undo itself.]] Due to how effortless and powerful this is as a countermove, Ungalo surrenders out of despair. He never attempts use his Stand again, knowing that anything he tries with Bohemian Rhapsody will be undone with no way for him to stop it.

* Jolyne's Stone Feee is a humanoid made of coiled strings. It can unravel itself and Jolyne's body into this string at will for a variety of purposes. While this ability proves very useful, partially making up for the weaknesses of being a close-range Stand, the strings are relatively fragile. They can be cut or snapped easily, causing proportional damage to Jolyne herself. Potentially debilitating or fatally injuring herself if she chooses the parts of her body to use as material for the string unwisely. Should Jolyne use too much string at a given time, her body will visibly begin to unravel, making her much more vulnerable to enemy attacks until she can recall enough of it back to herself.

** Diavolo experiences skipped time slower than normal, but he can only act at his normal speed. This means that he can be fooled if an opponent has a trick he can't see coming and he can only attack someone so long as they were within the distance he could cover within his maximum of ten seconds at the time he activated the time skip. If he's facing a danger that impacts an area larger than distance he can position himself within ten seconds, there's nothing he could do to save himself.

** King Crimson's ability essentially removes Diavolo from causality for eleven seconds, rendering him invincible. But because he's as incapable of affecting the world as the world is as affecting him, he has to turn it off to actually attack; so if an enemy has fast enough reflexes, they can counter whatever Diavolo plans to do.
** Additionally, time skipping still causes anything to happen that would have, meaning it's possible to use a recurring visual element to learn when time skipped by proxy. Polnareff uses drops of blood against his leg to prepare for this, managing to land a blow against Diavolo, while Giorno uses the same idea by cutting his finger open and letting the blood fall on his other hand.

did a little research, nothing says time stop strains the heart, it's much more likely it's like a muscle, where not using time stop for a long time weakened its duration that's why by stone ocean it's back to five seconds.


* The {{Synchronization}} effect between Stand and user goes both ways: if a user's human body is badly damaged or in poor health, the potency of their Stand suffers as well. Jotaro Kujo displayed this in ''Stone Ocean'': thanks to age catching up with him and the strain that using [[TimeStandsStill his time-stopping powers]] inflicted on his body, he's far less effective than he was in ''Stardust Crusaders'', as Star Platinum went from the highest durability rank of A to the lowest rank of E because of Jotaro's body starting to fail him.

The victim then restarts the day, though any victims will continue to explode in every iteration at the same time they first died. It's incredibly powerful, but it has two three big weaknesses:



*** Hayato is able to exploit these two conditions to rid himself of the loop, as he gets Josuke to attack Kira while it's active. Josuke would have shortly thereafter been killed by Bites the Dust, but since Kira didn't know that and thought he needed his Stand to protect himself, he cancels the power so he could use Killer Queen.

to:

*** Thirdly, the loop will work ''only'' if Hayato tells others about Kira's identity, or someone infers Kira's identity via him. Due to being its original owner, Bites The Dust won't activate (thus his anonymity will be in danger) if Kira is the one who divulges his own identity.
*** Hayato is able to exploit these two three conditions to rid himself of the loop, firstly, by letting Kira gloat about his successful disguise when Josuke is in the area (called by Hayato to exploit this weakness) as he gets Josuke to attack Kira while it's active. Josuke would have shortly thereafter been killed by Bites the Dust, but since Kira didn't know that and thought he needed his Stand to protect himself, he cancels the power so he could use Killer Queen.

* [[spoiler:Weather Report's sub-ability, Heavy Weather]], creates rainbows that project subliminal messages, causing anyone who looks at them to perceive themselves as a snail and - eventually - actually turn into a snail. Naturally, the subliminal messages don't work if you can't actually see the rainbows, so you can bypass the ability's effects by being blind or avoiding looking at them for as long as possible. Pucci goes with the former option and uses Whitesnake to temporarily extract his own vision.
