Now stone ocean's anime has been out for a while and i hesitated to do this right when batch 2 came out but its been a few weeks and im gonna assume everyone's watched it
I've always been fascinated with the stand of Yo-Yo ma even before the anime there was always this charm it had and ik it gets a lot of hate and a lot of people don't seem to understand it so im gonna breakdown why Araki gave it this name (this is just speculation its not 100% confirmed so yeah)
I wanna start with its design
Now yoyo ma looks like this
His eyes seem to look like glasses which the cellist actually has his body also seems to match the cellist's as well and not to mention the stand as a whole seems to resemble a cello going back to who its referencing but that's not all, since it is an automatic stand its has its own sentience but it seems to be far more intelligent than other stands and planning out attacks extremely quickly and deceiving the targets and has much more knowledge than most other stands knowing about swamps and how to use a boat, which may be a reference to Ma himself as when he was only 3 he played the violin, piano and viola and when he was 4 he started playing the cello and his dad only got the best teacher for him and then at age 7 he played for presidents eisenhower and kennedy and this natural talent may have played into the stand as both are extremely intelligent and both have a natural talent for something, with the cellist being a natural well cellist and the stand being a natural at deceiving his targets and asassination bringing this whole thing all together and people still say this stand is stupid
