I think Speed King's entire thing is that it can create a pinpoint amount of heat, and it never cools down and stays at that temperature no matter what, and if touched, it moves to where you touch it. That's all.

I'm just tripped up by the "not a large amount of heat" part. I guess Jobin is just being really generous with what he considers as "not a lot"?

So Speed King can pause the Laws of Thermodynamics at will, and then unpause it when that heat builds up enough?

I guess the easiest way to think of it is like a heat virus.

EDIT: So that's what Jobin was trying to do to Josuke at the end of the beetle fight huh? What a dick. I mean he probably would've stopped it before Josuke died but still

What if it's "just a little" at first, but the heat stacks every time he does it, so it builds up to that? :thunk:

Looks like Speed King is a bit similar to Killer Queen, then. His ability kinda creates heat traps; you touch them, and a whole bunch of focussed heat gets unleashed on some vital blood vessels all at once. Instead of getting exploded, you get boiled alive. That's pretty nasty all by itself, but I bet there's a reason it's heat, specifically; heating specific points with pin-point accuracy should have some other bizarre uses, like warping structural integrity or such. I'm really starting to think Jobin will be the final boss - he's definitely the most developed and interesting antagonists of Part 8, and we're starting to see how this pampered rich boy cracks under pressure...
Maybe Kaato will be the one to push him over the edge, somehow. As much as I'd like a female big boss for a change, she just doesn't have a lot going for her so far, and I believe we're firmly in end boss reveal territory right now...


Funny how Jacuzzi man would've gotten away with everything if he hadn't stolen that money, haha

Sleep, rest, do your best.
For Speed King, my interpretation is that in a given location, heat doesn't dissipate. So from body heat going through a blood vessel, or from the heat of the sun on something, it just continues to build and build and build. Because it isn't dissipating, it doesn't radiate heat so you can't even tell it's hot until you touch it. Once it's touched, it activate and goes normal so this heat that was building becomes an enormous problem.

So Speed King is basically Killer Queen but instead of explosions, it's just heat.

Much like how a few degrees of global warming doesn't sound intimidating to Americans, remember that there's like 1.8 degrees of Fahrenheit per Celsius.

Now that I think about it, I wonder if Araki read about how a few degrees of global warming doesn't sound intimidating to people and wanted to make a terrifying power of just a few degrees of very localized warming.

Nut King Call: i can't think of any particularly wild power for this to create with Speed King which means there's probably something really wild

Paper Moon King: lose the ability to differentiate between heat! i mean pretty scary but not boss scary

King Nothing: alright being able to throw scent-tracking jigsaw pieces carrying not that much trapped heat over an unknown upper limit of distance is extremely terrifying. this is like fusing josuke's glass shard attack to kira's exploding air bubbles

California King Bed: if you fuss over joubin a small amount of your heat shoots out of your eye in a chess piece???????

Walking Heart: taking foot fetishes to enticing new heights

Awaking III Leaves: at this point that'd just be freely controlling heat (only a little), huh

Kaato's Stand: pick a card, any card. you pulled the jack of a tiny quantity of heat

real talk if this is where we're going i feel like fusing with norisuke's dead body or whatever's the best bet.
