He even says as much in the anime so far, and he hints that it's also tied to taking over jons body fully. It's sum kinda retard video game logic to think that something with a stated x second limit could just be spammed willy nilly, though to be fair hierophant green spams the poo poo out of emerald splash all the time.
Yeah, it's never explicitly stated what the limitations are, I always just assumed there were some unspoken rules implicit in its execution.

Alternatively, I like the idea of Dio surfacing after a hundred years underwater to have Terrence explain video games to him.

Same. Dio interacting with modern technology and absolutely loving it always appealed to me. Imagine him riding on a plane for the first time.

I have a friend who's trying to get further into JoJo but the only thing that's stopping him is all the toilet humor because he reacts really badly to that kind of thing. How am I gonna break the news to him that Kakyoin makes an evil baby eat his own poop? :(

Assure him the baby really deserved it and much worse. Alternatively, that's really far in and he might be hooked by that point? Would the earlier bits with Polnareff licking a toilet be too bad? Or the Indian hotel worker cackling at the thought of his boss having his rear end licked by pigs?

Yeah, the pig thing and Polnareff licking the toilet would be pretty bad. He'd either need stuff cut or a guide that goes "skip over this, this, and this," which I wouldn't mind making because I've started to read through from the beginning anyway.

He did succeed in looking cool because he turned his teeth into jellyfish to absorb the piss and that was very cool. Giorno is super boring, but his ability to turn his body parts into animals was rad.

Bro has pretty different connotations though: it implies familiarity and parity instead of admiration.

Only without context. English may not have many words with special meanings to them like Japanese does, but it still has the same concepts if used contextually.

Rereading Stardust, Jotaro's stand ability is obviously doing whatever the gently caress he wants with it, ending with, "Oh you can stop time? Screw it, my stand can too, so there!" Sucking in air, star fingers, stopping hearts, whatever he feels like, depending on the plot. Then he starts playing with dolphins and decides to just stop time for a few seconds.

Well considering Dio's Stand triggered the others, it's not a stretch to imagine that they would get powers similar to his as well. Jotaro got Star Platinum. which is his version of The World, while Joseph got Hermit Purple, which is his version of whatever Jonathan's Stand is called.

When you think about it, it's actually pretty funny the the most broken Stand power ever is literally the final argument of a petulent child throwing a tantrum while playing pretend.

So, I just realized Araki has the same birthday as Prince. Both are known for not aging, androgynous imagery, and general awesomeness. Also, Prince is the most reference artist by Araki, period. I think I figured out something here.

Yeah, fair enough. Probably more like Sex Pistols in that each of the little stands have a personality, so to speak.

Also 「Daft Punk: Around the World」 is totally a major villain stand/move.
