So yeah I'm looking at the new OP and...




Does Kira seriously have three stands? Did his dad just keep stabbing him with the arrow repeatedly? Did he hand out stands as a reward anytime Kira won 3rd place in something?

I hope the third one means he throws the housecat at someone. Nice catch, my man!

Neko-chan Kawajiri is the luckiest kitty because it gets to be fussed by the perfect goddess Shinobu and the perfect handsome man Kosaku Kawajiri as played by Yoshikage Kira.

it's sort of a thing where a stand will have an added ability that's related to their 'normal' ability, and it'll be named after something else by the musician/band/whatever that the stand is named after. sheer heart attack is the first big example of that

Technically, we'd have to assume Star Platinum always had the ability to stop time. Jotaro just never thought to try it because why the hell would you unless you're some dingbat but very cool and handsome vampire.

Maybe Jotaro stopped time without realising it when he caught the bullet in jail because DIO realises he can stop time when he has Nukesaku shoot him.

You know, I always though it was weird that they had the exact same stand ability, since there was no other example of such in the series. What if Star Platinum's actual ability is copying powers, and Jotaro just never thought to do that before or since that one time, so he's stuck with time stopping.

Star Platinum is the culmination of the Joestar bloodline's Ripple Training and can copy and use any stand power... as long as the user is a vampire.

Well that's not quite true. The D'Arby brothers both had extremely similar Stands, and that's basically the setup to show that family can have similar Stands. It's still a bit of a stretch but its not TOO out of place, and the time stop ability on Star Platinum retroactively makes a lot of earlier demonstrations of his ridiculous speed make more sense.

OK closest I could find was "Stone Cold Crazy" which is actually from the Sheer Heart Attack album, so there's that.

More importantly, I learned that there were two Queen video games?!

On the next episode, Kira gets an invite to a tandem 「Bicycle Race」, but his plans to have his Stand take the other seat are thwarted when the girl who has a crush on him wants to tag along. How will he win now?

Googling anything about Part 4's major characters is a mine field for spoiling things, more so than any other part.

Specific reason why, though not in detail:
Considering the shared nature of certain names being the names of very important characters in JoJolion (part 8)

Frustrated with the difficulity of maintaining his disguise, Kira activates 「Crazy Little Thing Called Love」, curing his sociopathic tendencies and allowing him to become the family man he was destined to be.

I'm pretty sure I recall a parody comic of Yoshihiro repeatedly stabbing Kira with the Stand Arrow as an explanation of how he got Killer Queen.

Really, I want to know why Enya would just go "Sure thing, random Japanese guy, I'm totally okay giving you an arrow that could possibly give you a stronger Stand than my vampire overlord."

She could have met Yoshihiro before Dio. Or maybe Dio knew Yoshihiro and let him have the arrow for some reason we'll never know.

They made a poo poo load of Stands that are arguably stronger than The World with the correct application. Cream is utterly terrifying, for example.

They straight up tried to make as many Stand users as possible, so why not give arrows to people in the places they won't be to make them?
