Koichi's ability isn't plot derailingly powerful though, it's just a fairly standard Stand power. Reverb Act 3 doesn't stop entire storylines by merely existing like Star Platinum's extended time stop or Joseph's trickery.

If he kept Echoes to act 2 it would be. This is why Koichi doesn't need nerfing, he was already nerfed in his own part.

Trite, contrived, mediocre, milquetoast, amateurish, infantile, cliche-and-gonorrhea-ridden paean to conformism, eye-fucked me, affront to humanity, war crime, should *literally* be tried for war crimes, talentless fuckfest, pedantic, listless, savagely boring, just one repulsive laugh after another
Koichi had a completely bonkers ability in Echoes act 2, which could give any object different properties by writing sound effects on it. Then he forgets to ever use it and just makes things heavy.

eh, in general the ability to lock something in place is arguably more useful, especially if you're paired up with one of the Joestars

plus being limited to sound effects is kind of a nerf in itself, Josuke and Girono's matter manipulation abilities are stronger

koichi forgot he could make other things happen if he played with the sounds of words more but instead he just keeps turning suri (three) into furizu (freeze). take a linguistics class buddy!

in the fighting games, Act 2 is able to put DORARARA on enemies to give them the effect of getting Crazy Diamond punched

Not in Japanese it isn't. Onomatopoeia for everything, even things that don't reasonably make sounds

e: a recent example from my hero academia, from a character whose power is basically act 2:

Imagine if when Jotaro punched a dude, instead of going “ORA ORA ORA” he said “You’re done for!” or something like that.

Part 5’s old translation did the equivalent of that

I even ordered the Giorno and Gold Experience possible figures to go with my Josuke and Crazy Diamond.

That's one of three reasons it's disliked, I'd say. The other two reasons involve spoilers, though.

When Rohan was writing Italian into Koichi's brain, he spilled some ink onto Echoes Act 1 & 2.

Also I think Koichi is just glad he gets to know more about Stands than someone else for once.

It's a shame, if he'd bust out Act 2 to pull off some "zawa zawa zawa" whenever poo poo is getting real, he'd be the best Jobro ever.

For all the ragging on Koichi, he's still more useful than, I dunno, let's say Avdol. Sheer Heart Attack is so good.

Speaking of Sheer Heart Attack, I half-expected the anime to add a little image of it in the background when Koichi was talking about automated Stands.

Koichi used Echoes act 1 when chasing Giorno to scout the area originally but it wasn’t in the anime.
