Jesus actually had 「Wired for Sound」and his stand just made him 1:1 Cliff Richard. It wasn't the best one.

Makes sense. I figured Last Train Home would be way too somber to go after an episode like this when I first heard it. Glad to see DavidPro accounted for that.

What other times did the "stand user not powerful enough to have a stand" thing come up?

I know Holly, Josuke, and a bunch of others Avdol knew of but never talked about had the stand sickness and then there were issues with people in Part 7 and 5 being infected by the stand-creating poo poo and it'd just destroy their bodies instead of giving them a stand

it's weird because the arrow never really seems to have a smooth transition from death to getting a stand. either they magically get a stand and live because they're cool enough to have a punch ghost or they straight-up die. same with whatever the hell it was in steel ball run. i'm not sure if it was a conscious decision after part 3's sickness stuff or if araki just kinda stop caring about adding that detail.

Pretty sure Koichi would have died if Josuke hadn't done anything, too. It definitely took a long time for Echos to reach its full potential, so maybe he was never really gifted enough to survive the arrow, but since Josuke fixed the fever he was able to develop his Stand anyway.

The idea that Stands can be dangerous if you start developing one actually seems to be one of the most consistent things in the series, it's just that some people react differently than others which makes sense enough. I think the only reason why we don't see more of it is that it just isn't that interesting from a story perspective. It works for motivation here and there, like with Holly, but ultimately it's a manga about psychic spirits punching each other so it's not worth mentioning too often.

Baby Josuke and Koichi, mainly. Baby Josuke couldn't handle DIO's influence and Koichi was shot with the arrow and I vaguely remember someone mentioning that getting shot by an arrow subjects you to a trial where success awakens you to your Stand and failure means you die. Koichi was going to die but he cheated the trial with Josuke's help, leading to Echoes starting out as an egg.

Iirc the thing in steel ball run was a combination of Christ parts giving people stands and also the devil's palm giving people stands, the devil's palm just being a moving desert caused by the same meteorite that was used to make the arrows in part 5

I thought it was based on Cell and Koichi was based on Gohan

Or was that just another fan rumor thing that made its way around like the "Araki forced to turn Anasui into a girl cause jump didn't want lesbians in the manga" and other similar poo poo

It doesn't really look at all like Cell after either change forms. Sounds like some definite fan rumor stuff, but I don't honestly know.

Also I don't know why Araki decided to do it but Part 6 would have been improved by lesbians.
