The problem is that Okuyasu's stand is basically the Kienzan/Destructo Disc of stands, its signature skill is a one-shot-kill and that doesn't fly in a battle shonen manga so he's stuck at failing at using it or using it just for support/in non-lethal ways which is turn makes the user look incompetent in-context.

Okuyasu is a good natured teenage boy who doesn't want to be a murderer, not using The Hand to Vanilla Ice people doesn't make him look incompetent, it makes him look like a good person

Much like Killer Queen embodies Kira’s desire to live a quiet life, The Hand gets its design and strength from Okuyasu’s lifestyle and passion - jacking off. My dude loves yanking his hog. Absolutely going to town punishing that pud. The ultimate JO Bro. Does the big hand mean he’s packin’ heat or is it compensating for something? You’ll just have to ask Araki about that one.

Yeah, this. You don't need to be a brain genius to figure out "huh I can effortlessly delete things from existence, this would be really good for winning fights quickly and easily", it's just that he doesn't want to kill or permanently maim people.

If anything him finding a way to use The Hand's abilities in a fight in a way that explicitly doesn't kill or maim his opponent demonstrates a lot of intelligence and creativity, not the opposite.

erasing your dick from existence sounds like a bad idea if you’re really into jacking off

How precise is The Hand anyway? Like, could Okuyasu use it to shave or slice up veggies?

He uses it to save that girl from Yukako by shaving a lot of her hair off in like two seconds without harming her in any other way, so really precise.

If Okuyasu is such a good dude, why didn’t he use The Hand to erase hunger and suffering from the world

All that's missing is the ring.
Because if he wasn't hungry he wouldn't be able to go out to dinner with Josuke.

It's because he's told he's stupid and was raised to believe he's stupid and so people go along with it because he must just be stupid.

re: okuyasu this is how I see it. His older brother says he's stupid and he just goes along with it because what else is he gonna do, he owes all he has and is to his dad (now monsterfied) and his older brother (now dead). Would've been nice to see Josuke help him break out of that, but Araki generally isn't the type to do character arcs in that style, so it just becomes subtext or interpretation. I think Okuyasu is a smart guy who's lived his life believing his dumb because nobody tells him he isn't.

Anyway,

Dont judge me, I design your manhole
I feel like the whole dumb thing is something that would just phase itself out anyway. Okuyasu is a 16 year old that has to take care of himself and his disabled father, and is clearly mature enough to make it work. When he won the money his first thought was to save it, while Josuke was thinking about getting some kewl shoes.

What I'm saying is, I think that boy'll be alright.

I keep dipping into Stardust Crusaders (rewatching the series) and accidentally binging it. This poo poo holds up and the 2nd half outro is worth it every time

D'Arby Elder is my fav so far. Every twist logically follows the preceding scene and the climax builds all the way to the end and the villain is so scary clever, beating nearly all of them at their own game one by one until he can't. Its such good plot writing jesus

Like he almost had them, he was so close to doing what even DIO couldn't

D'arby the Gambler is maybe the finest story in all of Jojo. It's very very good.
