Hearing that Goku has a power level of "over 9000" isn't a spoiler, because you don't even know the context of it and it's just an ultimately meaningless stat that doesn't matter a whole lot. Why would hearing something like "This stand has a C rank in speed" be any different here?

The stats aren't an issue. Some of the stuff about their abilities or whatever could be, though, given that so far all the anime has showed Hermit Purple doing is psychic photos from smashing cameras (unless I missed something somewhere...), for example, and most of the other stands probably haven't revealed their full set of abilities yet either.

Although some of the non-spoilered stuff hasn't been seen yet as far I know, it's all pretty intuitive, and honestly I don't think it's gonna ruin it for someone if they find out that Grandpa Jojo's vines work like, well, vines. It's a show based around spirits beating up other spirits, and not one that relies on twists. Finding out about a power that a character got in a comic twenty years ago shouldn't ruin anybody's experience, and if people are that touchy about finding out about that kind of stuff, posting in a thread specifically for discussing the show is probably not the best idea anyway.

Joseph has been shown swinging around via Hermit Purple in the OP and I believe he also pulled that flesh bud that was in Kakyoin towards him with Hermit Purple to hit it with the Ripple.

Anything that has been shown in the OP is fair game to discuss including what you can gather of the stand powers. This OP has been opening the show for what has been almost a month now and it's the reason Zorak even let me remove the spoilers from Kakyoin and Eiffel's profiles. This is not counting promotional material that states half of this stuff even if you can't read it. Time does not stop and start at your convenience guys, people are gonna discuss what they see whether you realize it's there or not.

This being said, MonsterEnvy, I ask that you please watch out for the things you post about the stands, you actually did post a spoiler power you should probably remove, otherwise it's been fine for the most part.

IIRC, they did do those changes with the official subs on the blu-rays for season 1, so unless we hear otherwise I think it's safe to assume that any upcoming names will be consistent with the ASB name changes.

The main difference here is that the subs in the game were made to match the subs on the blu-ray, which is where crunchyroll's subs came from as well. The reason the translations in both match is because they have a common source. We don't know if crunchyroll is just going to use the ASB translation or if they're going to be using a separate translation yet.

It's obviously going to be more than 26 episodes, the pacing has been so meticulous that we've barely covered one out of 16 manga volumes in four episodes. They wouldn't cover the beginning in such loving detail, even adding in extra scenes, if they were going to cut out more significant stuff later on.

MAL says only 24 episodes based on an expected 6 BR Volumes at 4 episodes each I believe? Is there going to be a second season then, or are we getting CHEATED with a season 2 episodes shorter than last? :ohdear:

This. I've seen the OVA, but apparently there was something major cut from that that would have been a surprise. Would have been. :( (Unless it's cut AGAIN because see above.)

Unless they made a separate dub for foreign audiences how can you even do this. It doesn't matter how little Japanese you know, people are eventually going to notice when a name doesn't match up and say "Wait a minute, something's not right here!"

Likewise, someone saying "Goku's power level is over 9000, and because of that he's able to defeat Vegeta" would be an actual spoiler. If the post was all "This stand has a C rank in speed and because of that so and so is defeated by this guy because he's too slow", then that would indeed be a spoiler. Hypothetically of course, I just made that example up on the spot so no worries about spoilers there!

A more relevant example would be watching that scene for the first time, then people post pics of goku beating up recoome/jeice/burter, followed by some confusion as to why goku stopped needing the power pole/where'd lunch go/dragonball was better, and finally someone let slip that power levels don't matter because in a later arc buu can change people into chocolate.

E is a good rank. This means he is pretty much mastered the stand. It's not going to get any better but it can still be used in ways he has yet to think of.

Whining about Stand stats though is goofy as hell. None of it matters gently caress all.

The problem is that they are spoilers with no context. Some people may be caught up with the anime and assume that they can read every spoiler in this thread. For all they know it may just be blurb about how DIO can apparently use Hermit Purple as well.

He spoiler tagged the stuff that hasn't explicitly been shown in the show thus far or the OP. I don't think it's complicated at all!
