It is rumored that if you can ever beat Araki in a match set of Rock Paper Scissors, you will inhereit his powers and immortality. To this date, he has never lost.

It was Jonathan's stand jesus christ

I thought Jonathan's stand was called 「The Passion」 and just looked like jesus christ. Or did Jonathan have The World and Dio had The Passion? Was Dio The Passion? I can't remember my Jorge Joestar.

Also EoH SuperDio's stand is obv. 「He's Got The Whole World In His Hands」

Araki's always changing how stands work.

There's a stand in Part 7 that breaks one of the otherwise most consistent rules across the series.

Is it Mandom breaking the "Only the Big Bad gets a timefuckery stand" rule?

There's an untranslated SBR doujin out there where Diavolo just pops up during random parts of the race just to die again.

His first appearance is the carcass Pocoloco uses to drift.

I now wish that each part of the Corpse was actually just a piece of Diavolo from another death.

Ticket to Ride's space bending could be like King Crimson skipping time chunks to bring it closer, and Love Train's repulsion-of-bad-poo poo could be a remnant of GER's fuckery on him

ChaosArgate posted:

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it, King Crimson's power is basically like a scene skip button on a DVD remote. Once the button is pressed, time skips to the next "scene", which I think is 5 seconds later, and no one knows what happens in the skipped scene because no one watched it except for the guy with the remote, Diavolo.

That's one of the more succinct description/analogies for King Crimson's power. The scene was skipped, but still obviously existed since the movie's plot keeps going based on the unwatched (Except by Diavolo) plot segment.

Stallion Cabana posted:

are we supposed to think that the universe that we end on in Part 6 in is the same world as the Steel Ball Run/JoJoLion one? Or is it one more past that?

There were 36 universe resets, one results in the Ireniverse, at least one in SBRiverse (that includes an alternate President Funny Valentine with the stand 「Singing in the Rain」 that lets him fly), 36 Ultimate Lifeform Kars end up on Mars, Kars Prime steals Killer Queen from (not to be confused with Dead Mans Questions Kira Prime) Yoshikage Kira #36 (and not to be confused with the Kira that uses the power of the Golden Rectangle to bisect Lisa Lisa with a rope, dancing with her corpse and calling himself Kira Kira) and awakens it into Killer Queen Requiem, blowing up time until everything collapses back into the original dimension. Somewhere in this, Dio Brando (who is not DIO) gathers the 36 incarnations of Tusk and achieves 「Heaven」, gaining the stand 「The Passion」, or Jesus, which lets him see the future. Later he dies and becomes the Corpse, but then Jonathan Joestar is resurected, gathers the corpse, and gains The Passion for himself.

...I just wanted to read enough Jorge Joestar summaries to make a witty answer to the quote but then I kept falling deeper and now I can taste copper and almonds.

the part that annoyed me the most about part 6 was how when all of DIO's sons were converging, there was a single inter-chapter text box saying "You might be wondering where Giorno is? The answer to that is, maybe he is actually in the area, but just slightly out of frame in every panel"

Whenever Giorno's not around, everyone should be asking, "Where's Giorno?"
