Very good, Mr. Fits. But I can still defeat you. https://www.nuclearblast.de/en/label/music/band/discography/details/75761.71001.shovel-headed-kill-machine.html Shovel-Headed Kill Machine just suggests possibility.

Tevery Best posted:Lone Digger Solid choice, save for the fact it was released long after the Manga had completed which under my own personal criteria (released during actual manga release OR timeline) disqualifies it. Still, solid call! bladededge posted:Very good, Mr. Fits. But I can still defeat you. Ah, but is it album titles or band names? Not knowing what's coming we currently just have The Gold Experience which is an album title (copyright blurring aside), so does this fit within the naming conventions of this arc?

Stand names can be song titles, album titles or artist's names. It just has to be related to music somehow.

The first one we saw explicitly related to music was a band (Cream) and then the second was an instrument even.

Mainly because it's a picture of DIO posing seductively in the darkness. at the exact second the camera flashed DIO activated The World to dim the lights and strike a sexy pose he does this every single time someone takes a picture of him

that would imply that there are times when DIO is not already in a sexy pose.

Expect My Mom posted:there is a reason araki is paid to decide what names are used and we are not I haven’t gotten far into part 8 and I won’t spoil the plot but “Soft and Wet” is already my favorite stand name. Previous protagonist’s stands were all named after hard, durable materials: platinum, diamond, gold, stone, and tusk. But soft and wet goes the complete opposite direction. Also it’s one of the more underrrated prince songs.

Gold is not hard or durable. It's actually quite soft.

I'm realizing now that in terms of what it can actually do, even just what we've already seen and ignoring any future applications that may or may not come up, Gold Experience has like, one of the broadest Stand powersets in the series.

gold experience is one of a handful of stands where the best course of action is to not ask 'what if it did this' because you're going to quickly find out that araki has a habit of writing very open-ended things and it's best not to question it

Araki has a special chart set up where he carefully maps out the specifics and details of every stand, and then he chucks that chart out a window and draws whatever looks coolest instead. Then he throws in a fact about Mongolian Agriculture.

It's a lot like Heaven's Door in that regard, although Heaven's Door is at least limited in practice by Rohan's aesthetic sensibilities.

Honestly I think you guys are making it more confusing then it needs to be. Gold Experience has a very simple powerset. It's just the power is amazingly versatile. He can inject life into any non living object, and from it create any form of life. It also had the side ability that any life he creates reflects damage back at anyone that tries to harm it.

The more extraneous bits of Gold Experience do get trimmed down, at least. I think we've actually seen the last of the damage reflection, for example.

I think the #1 rule for stands is that when you first get one there's a grace period where you're virtually omnipotent, before you settle down on what your gimmick actually is.

Koichi had the opposite trajectory, but point taken nonetheless. Every rule about Stands is contradicted at least once anyway.

There's actually a possible explanation for this hinted at in the episode. Giorno makes it sound like the damage redirection is an uncontrollable side effect of the animals' independence from him; perhaps it will stop happening as he improves his control over the animals' actions.

There are a couple of things in the first couple of episodes that Giorno does with his Stand that he never does again. It's one of those Araki things where he gives someone a power, realizes he doesn't like writing around it that way, and changes it with no explanation.

Oh yeah. Star Platinum getting the treadmill into the cell makes no sense for such a short-range Stand and implies a make-objects-phase-through-other-objects power that never comes up again. Not to mention Star Finger! And then there's Dio's copy of Hermit Purple, although the artbooks do say it's Jonathan's Stand, so maybe he lost it as he assimilated Jonathan's body.

Giorno saying the animals are independent from him kinda contradicts both times we see them, the (admittedly) anime only butterflies and frog both come right to him in ways normal animals wouldn't. I assume he means he doesn't have direct exact control but idk you're doing something there buddy

Maybe they just really like him or Gold Experience? He did seem a little surprised that the frog came back. Now that I'm thinking about it, it comes across like he's been experimenting with whether or not transformed stuff finds him again, but who knows. Waffleman_ posted:They just like him.

Don't listen to these fools, as a genuine manga reader, I can tell you that all of Gold Experience's powers you saw today and in the coming weeks stick through the entire part, get an in-depth explanation and are used at the most convenient moments.

Yeah, I'm imagining Giorno's a bit similar to Vanilla Ice or Okuyasu where even they don't know exactly how their Stand works, the two of them not knowing where stuff their Stand obliterates ends up, just that it does things. Giorno can't control the animals, but yeah, has experimented enough to roughly get them to do what he wants and honestly I kinda like that loosey-goosey nature of Stands, a power you don't get to pick, as opposed to Nen in Hunter x Hunter, where every person has prepared their senior thesis on what their power is and how it would work if B happened instead A don't think, feel
