Warp That Aesop / JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

Go To

General/Unsorted

  • Mental disorders turn people into monsters.
  • Don't be ashamed about bawling in front of your enemy.
  • Shooting people with a bow and arrow grants them divine powers. Try it out!
  • This pretty much goes for just about every Shonen manga ever, but if you have your opponent right where you want them, just needlessly dick around with them or put them in an easily escapable deathtrap rather than killing them immediately.
  • Prepubescent child nudity is perfectly fine to show. 17-year-olds smoking? Unacceptable, censor that shit ASAP!
  • A rat, an infant, a small dog, a horde of plankton, and even a lifeless slab of iron have more strength and willpower to develop superpowers than a perfectly healthy middle-aged woman does.
  • If you're an ugly human, you're an abomination of nature, but if you're an ugly dog, you're everyone's favorite.
  • People with physical malformities and/or birth defects can't be trusted.
  • If you share blood with those named "Joestar", never EVER take a flying aircraft to your destination, as it is destined to crash/break down. Same thing goes for cars. And wagons. And camels. In fact, you're better off just walking.
  • The enemy could be anyone!...except for that flamboyantly-dressed character with a goofy-ass hairstyle. They're clean.
  • Invisibility-based powers are meant for attacking people out in the open. Explosions are silent and should be used for stealth purposes.
  • Only serial killers and juvenile delinquents have good parents.
  • Sometimes, the best way to win an argument (or game) against someone is by simply beating the crap out of them.
  • Beauty Is Never Tarnished - you can get beaten to a pulp, set on fire for up to a solid 4 minutes, etc., and never receive one bruise, scar or burn, but ONLY if you're a good guy. If you're one of the bad guys, you will look like every The Toxic Avenger prop combined by the time the heroes are through with you.
  • You can get holes opened up in your throat, get shot in the head, have all the iron forcefully extracted from your body, set yourself on fire, get one (or more) of your limbs chopped off and lose literal gallons of blood and you'll end up just fine - the human body is immensely durable!
  • A predictions of a single person's death always has multiple occurrences in the future, often decades ahead of when they were fortold.

Phantom Blood

Battle Tendency

  • You should become a vampire and attempt to kill the family of your trusted allies (whose child you adopted) because...the Big Bad was handsome. That's pretty much it.
  • There's nothing wrong with allying yourself with literal Nazis so long as you have the same objective in mind.
    • Those Nazis, who commit countless atrocities, including the genocide of nearly an entire cultural community, are still more honorable than a group of people explicitly stated to belong to a proud warrior race.
  • If a God of Fitness can cry over his destroyed arm, you can cry over any struggles in your life.

Stardust Crusaders

  • If you yell real loud and start fights at a restaurant, no one will care.
  • South Asian countries either have disgustingly unkempt bathrooms or no bathrooms at all.
  • If someone takes your grandfather hostage, comply with every demand they make. On the other hand, feel free to wager your mother's soul in a card game against an enemy who's fully willing to cheat to win.
  • You can create a lifelike statue of the vampiric Big Bad, have it walk around in broad daylight, and be shocked when his Dragon doesn't fall for it.
  • When you awaken from a 100-year slumber, make sure to work on getting your driver's license first and foremost.

Diamond is Unbreakable

  • An Adventure Archaeologist with shitloads of money, a stellar job and a loving wife is completely justified in having an affair with a woman 40 years his junior.
  • Honor the memory of the man who saved you and your mom from a blizzard by brutally assaulting anyone who makes fun of your hairstyle, no matter how harmless the comment is.
  • If you're short and ugly, everyone will hate you for being Easily Forgiven after you tried to kill and/or suicide-bait the protagonists. But if you're sexually attactive and become buddy-buddy with the heroes after doing the exact same things, you'll be a fan favorite.
    • Alternatively, if you beat up a tall, evil psycho, they'll become much shorter after you forgive them.
  • That obsessive psycho who kidnapped you, tortured you, beat you up, and attempted to kill you when you refused her feelings for you? Perfect girlfriend material!
  • The first thing you should do upon discovering irrefutable proof of alien life is to use that alien to cheat the local mangaka out of his hard-earned money in a game of dice.
    • Also, there's no problem with stopping to play a quick dice game with the knowledge that a Serial Killer is lurking around in your neighborhood.
  • When taking over someone's identity, make sure they're single first.
  • Children installing hidden cameras in their parents' bedroom is just harmless kid behavior.

Golden Wind

  • The drug trade is the only bad thing about organized crime.
  • It's morally acceptable to let teenagers join the mafia.
    • Don't bother telling them to not join and go back to school. They'll join the mafia anyway regardless of your well-wishes.
  • Always keep a photo of your father in your wallet, even though he abandoned you before you were born and left two complete assholes to raise you in hopes you'll grow up to be as evil as he is.
  • If your group and another group have the same goal in mind, go and try killing the members of that other group instead of meeting in the middle and compromising.
  • Are you facing an opponent who causes metal objects to violently protrude from your body just by being within two meters of him? Rather than keep your distance and plan accordingly, just keep repeatedly entering his attack range and you'll get somewhere eventually.
  • If your boss goes against his own orders to NOT engage The Don in direct combat and gets horrifically maimed for his troubles (as in, cut nearly in half, donutted, and lying in a pool of blood), he can still be revived by the skin of his teeth if you heal his injuries immediately upon finding his body. One of your teammates who you left completely unguarded in enemy territory also gets a hole punched through him? Clearly, there was nothing you could do to save him, and his death was his own fault for being careless, anyways.

Stone Ocean

  • The most secure correctional facility in America hires police that are so corrupt and incompetent, they accept bribes to let the prisoners do whatever they want, allow the distribution and handling of said bribe money in the first place, can't link numerous deaths to one person who was present for every one of them, and continually get outfought and outsmarted by a 19-year-old girl.
  • Did that French Jerk just get arrested for a double homicide he didn't commit? Send your best forensic experts all the way to Singapore to bail him out. Your boss's daughter is also falsely accused of murder? Too bad! She's on her own. It's not like you're a multi-million dollar medical research and private investigation organization, after all. The best you can do is send a messenger pigeon to the jail she's at to retrieve an important item from her.
  • If you're constantly being hounded by assassins due to the supernatural abilities you possess, then it's best that you completely abandon your family without ever giving them a proper explanation as to why. But when your daughter gets sent to prison, help her break out by giving her the same powers that caused you and your loved ones to become doom magnets in the first place.
  • The prison chaplain has more power and authority than the chief of security; he can grant pardons, visit crime scenes, view surveillance footage, and trace the inmates' phone calls without any permission from the guards.
  • Using your powers in a game of catch is cheating!...if your powers involve producing stickers that multiply things. If you can create string or launch webs of sticky goop from your hands, using your powers is just fine.
  • It seems that the KKK prefers terrorizing white people with a smidgen of African heritage over black priests.
    • Anime-only: No, the KKK never actually wore robes and hoods, they publicly assaulted and lynched minorities with their ugly mugs on full display.
  • You should stop your partner from finishing off a remorseless killer so you can reform them. Don't even lift a finger to stop her from executing a Noble Demon who had already surrendered and willingly complied with your demands.
  • There's nothing wrong with letting an 11-year-old recluse pilot a helicopter or drive a car.
  • The good guys are supposed to stop the bad guys, not help endangered civilians. Those women desperately clinging onto pipes for their lives and screaming for help can just wait for someone else to show up.
  • Do you have a secret technique that can easily kill the Big Bad, but will also kill you in the process? Well, whatever you do, don't ever use it, even in the most dire of situations, no matter how much of a self-proclaimed Death Seeker you are. Instead, entrust your powers to the Tagalong Kid with zero combat experience and have him kill the Big Bad with that technique long after you and everyone else have died fighting him.
    • What's that? That technique kills everyone in the immediate vicinity? Fair enough. It's not like you were perfectly willing to have your comrades die as collateral beforehand, right?
