darealkooky posted:Another good rationalization for the jailcell is that the listed range is simply "range stand can punch good at and their specific powers can effect" and not "max range period" Star Platinum has a lesser known ability to materialize treadmills. Just treadmills.

WickedHate posted:It's not like any other JoJo has such similar stands though. Platinum Star and The World are basically palette swaps. Hey now, there's no such thing as magic in JJBA. Vampirism is a highly technical application of such sciences as mesmerism and vitalism. Also a bit of recapitulation theory when Kars manages to become the Ultimate Being.

It can drain things from the enemy, as well as combining a bunch of drains into a cylindrical figure for oraora-ing. It can be called 「Splish Splash」

Tubular Bells is the one that made attack dog balloon animals out of nails, right? Because if so that's basically brilliant.

If Araki can make a guy with zippers able to go toe-to-toe with time erasers, flesh-eating-mold spreaders, and rapid agers, he can make any power work.

I remember reading somewhere that the amount of metal in someone's blood is so miniscule that it wouldn't even be able to form into a single razor, so he should feel lucky he managed to accomplish anything at all. I'm legit trying to think of a stand power that would be completely useless, but I honestly can't.

Uh yeah, Survivor was used in the best way that kind of stand could. Encouraging a terrifying guard with the powers to summon meteors into fighting the people you're trying to kill.

I just figured he developed the Sweet Vamprire Power to have a girls face on the back of his head. Like how Dio made dog people.
