The World is not a Joestar power stand, it is a mirror of Jotaro's. The thing with Hermit Purple has already been debunked as that being Jonathan's body's stand.

So I just finished part 3 and I don't understand why jotaro is able move during the world's time stop or how he can stop time himself.

Eleventh Hour Power, this is a shonen manga, after all.

Araki, as cool as he and his writing is, has enough holes in their writing and official explanations that it's alright for people to disregard things like that when it doesn't make as much sense.

I have this friend who started watching Phantom Blood and absolutely hated it.

So I convinced him to skip to Battle Tendency and I believe his reaction was "Holy poo poo, this new Jojo is gangsta as gently caress".

Basically, what I'm saying is that Battle Tendency is awesome and everyone should watch it again.

Enjoying fiction must be pretty hard when you take everything published and every single thing creators say to be the one holy truth.

To be fair, as bad as the actual site is, a lot of their tropes can be convenient to use and do actually fit things. The time stop is an eleventh hour superpower.

Didn't he use Zoom Punch because the Ripple breathing allowed him to unlock his joints and not feel pain? That... still strikes me as a really bad idea, but it's at least an explanation as opposed to Star Finger.

Yeah Araki at least tried to explain Zoom Punch. Star Finger was literally just a one-use solution to a problem and is never brought up again.

Well, some Stands would be able to get around it. Emperor, for instance.

Two uses. Dark Blue Moon and Strength, though they were back to back.

I can't wait until the show resumes so we can see more of Jotaro, Kayoin, Joespeh, Polnareff, Avdol and Iggy. I can't wait until the encounter with Oingo and Boingo, also for the encounter with the first D'Arby brother and for Iggy to fight Petshop!! I'm excited because Jojo is a fun show!
