So I don't know how much this has been discussed in the past, but I thought I'd give my 2 cents on the issue. Star Platinum is reknown for its power, speed, precision and durability during most of the series, but towards the end of Stone Ocean its durability drops to an E rating. Why such a varience?

Let's consider what we know. In Stone Ocean, the stats for SP are given to the reader twice: once as SP, then again as SP: The World. When the latter is given, it is after Jotaro has had his Stand returned and he has awoken from his coma. With this in mind, I speculate that SP's durability nosedived becaused Jotaro was still weak and recovering from muscle degeneration.

Comments and further speculation?
