So why is it that all the Jojos (or jojo bodies) get really similar Stands (The World, Star Platinum, Crazy Diamond, SF) that just punch each other a lot and Joseph gets lovely Vines

There's not really a lot of 'hosed up poo poo' that airs on Japanese TV at any hour.

I mean there is but those are usually the shows that get censorship steam/shadows covering 90% of the screen.

Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?

There's a theory that Hermit Purple is the endpoint of Hamon seeing as how Jonathan and Joseph both have it. It's not a bad idea, seeing as how HP is basically infinite rope and is a perfect conduit for Hamon. Personally, I think it's more that Joseph is way less direct about fights than his descendants so he got a stand that enables his antics rather than channels his lackluster natural fighting prowess.

That's sort of what I was thinking, it does seem like a fusion of stands and Hamon.

I'm guessing we're in for a LOT of oraora variants in the future, then

Joseph's fight with Wammu should have been set up so that halfway through he had to swallow his pride and take the antidote or he'd run out of time, instead of just beating Wammu anyway, so that Caesar's sacrifice actually meant something instead of being totally pointless. Joseph still gets to get every kill that actually matters, so you don't even have to change that much in the story, but both he and the reader know that he couldn't have done it without Caesar.

Jon, Jotaro, and Josuke all punch people in the face. Joe is more tricky and roundabout (ha) about most of his personal fighting.

joseph was never the type to rapidly punch people so giving him a stand that did that would be wildly out of character. that's all there is to it

If you must blink, do it now.
Joseph's always been more about outsmarting and outmaneuvering his opponents than besting them through feats of strength.

Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.
To be fair those are also tactics all the later JoJos use. They just use them with the specific end goal of punching them a lot, which Joseph never did.

Listen the only time Jotaro used dumb luck was when he punched open a gondola and it turned out his opponent was weak to water, otherwise he's a perfect human being.

I dunno, I thought it said that. Oh well.

I feel like their subtitles skip over some things, though. Like I definitely hear Dio saying "Dio" in his speeches but it doesn't show up in the subtitles. No "It was me, Dio!" lines or anything.
