My overall thought on Soft and Wet: Go Beyond is that other stands such as the ones @Sportylongshorts mentioned can beat S&W:GB in combat, since Josuke does not have control over the GB bubbles. Although, let's say, that if Yasuho Hirose or by other means were to help guide the GB bubbles --> time-stop, the golden spin, and rtz would not have the power to stop the GB bubble itself. The GB bubbles are the true untouchable phenomenon seen in the manga, but the stand itself is the weakness. Although, WOU, is truly superior to all stands aside from the GB bubbles. (I do not rank S&W:GB as an individual stand above all others, but the individual ability known as "Go Beyond"). Oh, and from what I have seen, Josuke does not have much plot armor at all, but what keeps him going is his will and his power. (Josuke got fricked by Blue Hawaii, so that rids him of the whole plot armor fiasco in a way.. Aside from that Go Beyond craziness.) Josuke is a very creative person with his abilities, and I still do say, that even if he didn't have anybody to help him control his GB bubbles, he could still find out an inventive way to deal with such opponents. In the end, it's all up to Araki whoose stand comes out on top, except for WOU, that is (little bit obvious). (Oh, and for @Babysharkboss2 : I haven't been reading JoJolion since the beginning, I have been reading since 2016, and yes, I used to refer to Kei Nijimura as "Kyo Nijimura". I started using "Kei Nijimura" around 2021 due it sounding more like Keicho Nijimura, in which I thought was a cool call back to part 4.
