How do people in Jojolion even get stands.
I dunno, something about bite marks I think? Maybe fault lines?

Daiya wasn't legally blind until she played around where the Wall Eyes would be and then she got California King Bed, so man I dunno

the only bite marks that have been brought up were on people who were around the weird area where josuke was found, that being yasuho, joshuu, and gappy himself. daiya fell into a weird fault-line ditch and apparently wall eyes popped up later, and some people think that maybe wall eyes aren't exactly the cause but just tend to show up in weird places around town.

Something resembling teeth marks were also shown on Holly's brain scan if the wiki is correct, so the bite marks are probably solely related to the Wall Eyes, but there seems to be some latent power in Morioh if Daiya can get a Stand before the fact, I'm guessing that's related to the Corpse and Johnny's Act 4. Also aren't almost all of the Wall Eyes near the coast and at least face the sea? Their locations don't seem to be random.

Wall Eyes is a real good name for a weird supernatural structure btw.

e:
This is what the wiki calls teeth marks and like, I kinda see it, the pattern is in arc which sorta looks like a bite mark, but still looks more to be chunks missing.

Is what causes the stands not Jesus being inside the geography of Morioh?

i feel like it's all somehow connected. the corpse of jesus doing so much weird stand poo poo has to have something to do with morioh being all hosed up geographically and people getting stands just from going to certain places around the town, even if the corpse was brought back to america and the vault. the wall eyes still need to be explained, but they really feel like something araki will get to when he's drat well ready

The Corpse gave a street in Morioh a Stand so yeah, it's probably at the core of all this, but yo these Wall Eyes are weird as hell

The land near the Higashikata house has always had the power of Equivalent Exchange even before the Wall-Eyes presented themselves. Kyo only found out about it after the March 'quake though. I think one line even says 100's of years but I don't think that's going to turn out right.

The corpse was buried under what is now the lone pine by Johnny, which is where Josuke was formed and is next to the Higashikata house, though the corpse was returned to New York quickly after Johnny died. So basically, the corpse is almost definitely the cause of the equivalent exchange soil and the Wall Eyes are maybe something different, but probably akin to the Devil's Palms in a different form. It's probable though that the Wall-Eyes were made when Johnny first placed the corpse but were only just brought surface side in the quake.

The underground bunker in the Higashikata house links to that tree too. Josefumi grew the Rokakaka directly next to or on the most important place in Morioh as a means of hiding it.

Holly Joestar-Kira's brain probably isn't bite marks, the Kira family is said to have the same curse as the Higashikatas, but it doesn't necessarily mean it presents itself in the same way. It may just be that for her, parts of her brain have disappeared. She better show up again though, she's got a Stand and in her lucid moments, she seems to know a lot about what goes on.

I'm pretty sure it's said that Jolyne is actually really sick during Diamond is Unbreakable while Jotaro is hanging around in the country so it wouldn't make much sense even in established canon.

Araki might be prone to forgetting, but... Wouldn't it be more reasonable to assume that the equivalent exchange soil - which already played a part in the Higashikata's fruit business, the family curse, and maybe even SBR Norisuke Higashikata's two belly buttons - caused some part of the corpse to remain in Morioh even after it was recovered, rather than its brief presence retroactively creating the phenomenon?

it's generally easier to assume that the corpse had something to do with it considering that all of the previous part was Joshua bar Joseph's Corpse's Bizarre Adventure

Eyes of heaven demo is supposed to be out on PS4 today but I think certain game blogs jumped the trigger, should be on tonight atleast.

You can play as Jotaro, Kakyoin, Josuke and Okuyasu, it is a different demo than the Japanese one and there is a save file bonus if you complete it

I played this demo and it gave me firsthand knowledge that it's a clunky bad game with a story so stupid I'm not gonna want to play it with other people in the room, but I still enjoyed hitting the buttons to make my bros team up and punch bad guys in the face so I'm going to buy it anyway.

No I wouldn't because that's the translation of the word.

There is way more precedent for "muda" being kept than being translated, so this is like the last thing to get mad at NB for. Like I'm not saying that's how it SHOULD be, but there's like no reason to expect it anymore
