So, my theory revolves around Kaato Higashikata, which I honestly believe to be the main antagonist for JoJolion. Right now, we don't know the name of her Stand, but unlike Holly who we assume must have a Stand, we actually know that Kaato has one, and we've seen it. A deck of cards, most likely. I believe Kaato's Stand will be named: Viva La Vida. I'll start with what I believe to be the overall message of the song. The song is about someone who used to have power, and used to be a King of some kind. Now though, they've lost that, and long for the days they wish to go back to. I feel this already fits Kaato really well. She used to be married to Norisuke, and she lived happily with her family, but after doing what she felt was right, she was divorced and thrown into Stone Ocean prison. She misses her children, but, dislikes Josuke, the only child not of her and Norisuke's blood.

I'll now get into specific lines from the song, to see how those relate.

"I used to rule the world; Seas would rise when I gave the word; Now in the morning I sleep alone-" Kaato's world could be described as the love she holds for her children, as well as the overall family. You could claim that the second line hints at her involvement with the wall eyes, but we'll really just have to wait and see if that's the case. The third line is literal, really. Now she's in prison, away from her family, and their comfort.

"I used to roll the dice; Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes-" When she was with Norisuke, it's absolutely possible she had more control over the fruit parlor, which we know if a pretty big hit in Morioh. She also had more control over her familial situation.

"One minute I held the key; Next the walls were closed on me-" She had the love of her family, as well as the power of being a Higashikata, but then that was all taken away, and she was forced into Stone Ocean prison. Norisuke lied, and told his children that Kaato died, so the walls between her and the family have grown taller.

"Missionaries in a foreign field-" If she's running the Lokakaka trade, which has a bunch of rock humans, then this is somewhat straight forward. We know the trade has to operate outside of Morioh.

"It was a wicked and wild wind; Blew down the doors to let me in; Shattered windows and the sound of drums; People couldn't believe what I'd become; Revolutionaries wait, For my head on a silver plate; Just a puppet on a lonely string; Oh who would ever want to be king? " Okay, so, this one could be big. This could hint at the final battle taking place inside of a destroyed version of the Higashikata estate, or it could represent the final battle regardless of location. The fourth line could mean two things. If she's a Rock Human, then that's that, but it could also mean that her children and anyone else who knew her is surprised by how different she is than the last time they saw her. The Revolutionaries here could be everyone fighting against her, or more accurately, those fighting for the sake of Gappy, which is someone new, and different to the family. The next line could reference how Kaato views Josuke's place in the family, or maybe, it's how she sees herself, in some way. The last line is huge, and honestly, probably the biggest line for this entire theory. Every Higashikata, minus Josuke, has a Stand with "king" in the name. California King Bed, Walking Heart, Nut King Call, Speed King, Paper Moon King, King Nothing. Even Mitsuba, someone non-blood to the family, has Awaking III Leaves. The line, "Oh who would ever want to be king?", I feel, is huge. I think, while Kaato will still love her children, she'll seek to overthrow the Higashika family, and as Viva La Vida is a song about a long since fallen king, I feel it fits the character perfectly.
