The answer was that Tower of Gray was like the second/third Stand battle (if you count Avdol and Jotaro in the prison) and Araki hadn't established how fast SP was yet.

No, obviously that beetle had an anti-timestop ability.

People attributing Star Platinum's super speed to time stopping are insane.

Yeah. Jotaro just develops new powers whenever Araki wants him to until deciding that time stopping is pretty cool and giving him that power as Star Platinum's only real ability from that point onwards.

The only time Jotaro stopped time outside of the DIO fight in part III is the D'Arby encounter :colbert:

I choose to believe Jotaro just mugged someone of their cigar and beverage while D'arby was distracted by Jotaro's confidence in his cards.

It'll be neat if the visual effect in the anime for when star platinum grabbed lovers was David foreshadowing the time stopping power

If anything should foreshadow SP's time stop, it should be D'arby.

Not anything egregious, but maybe they could just have D'arby say an additional line like "could his power be the same as Lord Dio's?!" or something.

Really, I'm just not looking forward to a whole new generation of people complaining about the resolution to the Dio fight.

You sayin' I like dubs?!?
I thought it was pretty clear that the reason darby flips the gently caress out over jotaro swiping the drink/cigar is because he thinks he can stop time (and the dude is so scared of that power that even the idea of betraying dio causes him to foam at the mouth and pass out)

With that said

Man, looking up ahead in the series and I'm just finding it hard to believe that Jotaro is capable of having a daughter.

I mean, Jojo's borderline autistic so I just can't see him being able to have a relationship with a woman at all; let alone get one pregnant.

...It's probably gonna be explained later isn't it...

Heh.

I don't want to get in trouble for backseat modding so I try to stay quiet about it, but it bothers me so much when they do and I just want to yell "Shut the gently caress up about what hasn't already happened already" sometimes.

...pretty much the only thing that spoils is that Jotaro survives part 3, though? "Jotaro has a kid at some point" tells you nothing about the plot of Stone Ocean.

e: also, the heroes having kids who go on to be protagonists is literally the central gimmick of JoJo

It doesn't matter there are literally two threads dedicated to jojo so "actually a spoiler" or not everyone in the other thread needs to close their loving mouth about poo poo that's past the latest episode.

It's such a loving simple concept that I'm not sure how motherfuckers who own a credit card can't stop loving up over and over.

It kinda spoils that Jotaro survives DIU as well.

Not to mention that Jotaro dying in Stardust Crusaders wouldn't end the Joestar bloodline, so it's a bit of a spoiler.

I mean, there's also Josuke and technically Giorno, but as far as anime viewers know neither of those people exist.

Like, I could honestly see the argument for crying spoilers over those two since they kinda come out of left field, but you can pretty easily extrapolate that Jotaro has a kid at some point just from watching up to where we are in pt. 3 and being aware that other parts exist. This is like when people were crying about the figure ads in the first season because Dio was in one of them... in spite of Dio being the villain of Phantom Blood anyways, and the figure version of Dio not even existing in canon.
