There are times where Araki uses the source material for good uses in relation to the character, but you can’t deny there are numerous instances that gave absolutely no great relation to the characters or their stands. For instance, take Illuso’s Man in the Mirror. You can’t possibly make a cohesive argument about the meaning of that name being anything else than the fact that it is a stand that allows a man to go inside a mirror. I’m not trying to degrade Araki or anything, but I feel as though people overhype Araki and pretend that every name has a relation to the character or the situation, when that is clearly not the case. I see him as the same as Akira Toriyama when it comes to names, except that he tries to be more serious when Akira is just making puns (not that there is anything wrong with that).
