I think Ski Ba Ba Ba Da Boo comes before Da Ba Dee Da Ba Die.

Next twist is that the rock bugs have been parasitizing and controlling the rock humans all along and with that we get the new villains, Bawitdaba, Ne-Ne Na-Na Na-Na Nu-Nu, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm, Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye, Doo Wah Diddy Diddy, MMMBop, Da Da Da, and their leader Papa Oom Mow Mow.

As much as I feel split about the Rock Insects, I do love how their names so far have been named after songs with basically gibberish as their titles. Makes it seem like their names are being made up on the spot.

The first one was fine, the current one just adds more bloat to an already overly long fight.

Make the rock insects the antagonist for the next part, make all the fights like Pet Shop or Ratt.

Question: do the stands name themselves or do the owners have some control over the names

They name themselves but they’re the names the owners would have come up with anyway.

Depends. Tarot card stands were named by Fate, Jotaro named Crazy Diamond. But like Spice Girl tells Trish her name.

rohan uses heaven's door to check a person and find out the name of the stand and then tells them so they know what to call it. otherwise it's impossible to know. very inelegant system but it's what we have to work with

Hitlersaurus Christ

Star Platinum and presumably the other Tarot stands are named by drawing tarot cards, some tell their owners their names like Spice Girl, some like Notorious BIG and Cheap Trick already have names somehow despite their owners being oblivious, and some like Stone Free and Goo Goo Dolls are named by their user. The latter is great because it's the only one actually canonically named after the real band.

It's kind of amazing how Avdol is confused at the idea of more than 22 stands when he has already encountered 1 unnamed stand and it is just incredibly convenient that a bunch of people from around the world all agreed mostly separately to name their abilities after the major arcana.

I like how that can all be chalked up to Fate when the real answer is just "Araki ran out of Major Arcana but wanted to keep using stands" but Fate in JJBA is a silly thing that would definitely pull something stupid like "everybody is gonna encounter people who just so happen to name their abilities after the major arcana, and then egyptian gods, and then a musical instrument, and then music"

He also mentioned numerous cases where Stands were too much for their users and they died. Avdol isn't the brightest bulb in the box, it seems.

Only stands that don't kill their users get to have names*

*please ignore every stand that has a name that kills its user

My favorite stand that kills its user is Dragon's Dream, who tries to negate his owner's advantage by politely explaining his ability

In part 4 it's established that Prince canonically exists in the Jojo universe, as Yukako quizzes Koichi about him. Yet Gionro has a stand named Gold Experience, a direct Prince reference. So at least everyone else has cool original stand names, but Giorno's is straight-up a prince reference.

Michael Jackson canonically exists in the Jojo universe, and there's still Illuso's Man in the Mirror. "Weird Al" Yankovic also canonically exists which may imply that all the artists he parodies do as well.

I like to imagine that it's less that stand users love naming their stands after music and more that musicians are unconsciously tapping into stand power for their inspiration

it makes sense for a bunch of normal people that suddenly woke up one day with supernatural powers to name them after contemporary pop culture, or at least more sense than a man from the 1800's naming his power after an ACDC song that won't exist for 180 years, or an ancient mesoamerican demigod named ACDC, or there just happening to be a guy in Pakistan named Steely Dan

Hilarious sure, it had a man's legs get turned into springs. Good? Part 6 is still a low point in the series for me and DD is the fight I can't find myself enjoying

Dragon's Dream might benefit from animation for me. I dunno if it's because I haven't read a lot of manga or what, but it felt way too confusing, even when I understood the concept.
I really like the chill-rear end stand itself, that was hilarious. Part 6 is just weird as gently caress and I love it!

Gappy shot a bubble at the doctor's face
Head doc turned and spoke using his stand
"I am done here, I am gonna leave this place"
And the head doctor showed a rock bug in his hand

"Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, fight goes on, brah"
La-la how their fight goes on

Well this sucks, I guess it doesn't rule out future Rohan oneshots but JoJolion will be the last mainline part. Opening up a classical car dealership does seem like an incredibly Araki move though, I don't think anyone saw that coming
