A- What if there's simply a difference between the Stand and the Stand user getting pierced? Maybe that'd explain why Killer Queen gained a new ability rather than a new form and why Silver Chariot and Gold Experience gained a new form instead of just an ability. (And, yes- this is tossing the "Each Arrow gives a different affect" theory to the side.)

B- What if Sentientcy isn't a guaranteed - and therefore - standard factor of Requiem Stands? This would pave the way for BtD to actually be a Requiem Stand. Your head hurts because quite frankly no one fucking knows how Requiems work. We've just been circlejerking our theories as fact and that means the line between truth and hypothesis has become muddled. We don't know whether or not BtD is a Requiem (I assume it isn't), we don't know what kind of abilities Requiems gain, and we're all confused as all hell because some people have taken it upon themselves to overwrite Araki's canon with their own fan-theories.
