@Hasketos "and his ability to persist also went down" Well....that never truly shows much, persistence wasn't a very relevant stat, and it's pretty much corrected in the Anime (if that counts) but i thought we were talking about SP in part 6 generally, not the SP that Jotaro uses in the final fight (which could be slightly different).

If you try to argue Jotaro aging weakened his stand, well I have 3 things to say to that

1. Prove that 40 years old is the age that stands start weakening. Sure stands weaken when they age but you need to prove the age gap on WHEN they start weakening. For all we know, it could be the age of 60 stands start to weaken. Meaning SPTW might still be on his A-Game even when 40 years old

2. When Bruno was aging, its hinted that the stands dont start to weaken until you hit your elderly stage. 40 years old is not that limit

3. Fun Fact: HP in the data books is stated to wield the same type of power as it did in SDC DESPITE Joseph aging 10 years older

The whole "aging" argument is pretty weak and should never be used unless the user has hit his elderly limit.

Damn, they use SP to powerscale characters worse than how they highball anyone who beats Polnareff in GW because of SC for some reason....

Dio was over 100 and Joseph was on his late 70's and there stands worked fine.

@Vibin2134

His strenght peaked at 18, yet he never bothered to keep himself up at the top.

Tbh, DIO doesnt even count since his aging is not the same as humans

Josephs HP remained the same as stated by Araki...

The only "change" in pre-coma Jotaro/SP in S.O should only just be the fact that his Battle IQ and etc should be higher than he was in Part 3....

Oh

When Araki states Jotaros prime was when he was 18 years old, whats stopping me from going "Oh thats only because he had his TS duration peaked out"?

Bruh how's part 6 Jotaro weaker than 3? In 6 he clearly has SPTW and should be stronger and has more experience and obviously speed blitz

He also had his TS duration peak out at the beginning and ending of SO, that would change nothing.
