“A lot of the JJL Higashikata’s Stands are like that”

“A lot of”

I was actually thinking of Speed King when I said that.

Also Speed King isn’t really that well suited for head-on combat like other Stands are. I don’t think there’s ever a point where Speed King is used to engage in direct combat. It’s much better in more cerebral contexts, like laying traps for people

Dark Determination for one. That’s not rage, it’s just the willingness or intent to kill.

Silver Chariot no doubt. King Crimson doesn’t stop time like The World does. Time moves a bit slower than normal during a time skip, then is deleted.

Out of anyone to have it I think Norisuke is the best-suited, but it’s not a combat Stand in any capacity. A lot of the JJL Higashikata’s Stands are like that: Stands with very little combat power and wacky abilities that you have to be very creative to make use of.

The fact that this isn’t 100% no shows a lot about this community

It’s very nice to see so many unique Stand names. Often we get into the trappings of the same few references, so it’s good to hear of new songs and artists being referenced.

You’re kidding me right?

Well, I mean… that would make sense as to how Okuyasu’s dad got introduced to DIO…

In summary: I don’t know. VI and Okuyasu having similar Stands really throws me off. However it’s not a requirement for related Stand Users to have similar Stands. Take Joseph (Hermit Purple) and his descendants after Holly (Jotaro, Josuke, Jolyne). I think how one’s Stand turns out has less to do with genealogy and more with the personality of the parents. Joseph had Hermit Purple, Suzi Q didn’t have a Stand and was mild-mannered, so Holly got a Hermit Purple-like Stand that she couldn’t control. Sadao Kujo was after whom Jotaro took in terms of personality and appearance, so we can assume he was a hardass. Hence, Jotaro gained SP, a Stand whose express purpose is handing people ass-whoopings.

This was a weird tangent for me to go on.

Note: Jotaro in Part 3 is 17. Josuke is 16-17.

Tusk Act IV is meant to be the perfect representation of a Stand in the second universe, as GER is the perfect representation of a Stand in the first universe. Act IV is a Stand born from infinite power. As such, it’s reasonable to assume that it is not bound to a close range like other powerful close-combat Stands are.

Oh wow, 38 votes and it’s still 50/50

She got boiled to death. Seems pretty simple no?

I am of the belief that Stand Users who got their Stands through the Arrow cannot gain a Requiem Stand.

Giorno: Naturally-born, gains Requiem Stand

Polnareff: Naturally-born, gains Requiem Stand

Diavolo: gains Stand through Arrow, cannot gain Requiem

Also, DIO had his Arrow for many years, and either never tried to pierce a Stand with it or tried and failed (which I find more likely). If you have an object you’re obsessed with for a long time, you’re going to try and use it in different ways, so I find it unlikely that DIO wouldn’t have tried to pierce his Stand or someone else’s with the Arrow.

So I don’t think that Diavolo would be capable of gaining a Requiem Stand even if he had the Arrow.

Christ rock

A lot of them do. Jotaro’s, for instance, is Toshinobu Kubota

I'd say that you'd 100% regret reading JJL without reading SBR first, there's a huge amount of context you'd miss out on.

This must be that Foo Fighters thing everyone's been talking about
