The cleaner is going after Usagi purely because he's pissed off about the ramen. He has nothing to do with the rocks or any other aspect of the plot

GOGOGOGOGO *Dragona feels a rustling in their pocket, where a Howler business card Mei Mei gave them is. The little wolf on the logo turns to look at them, with weird stand eyes and a cigar in its mouth* "CHUMIIIIN! Not so fast, nyukkas!"

And now Usagi is becoming the Jojolands as punishment for their hubris.

By the way I didn’t see anyone mention it yet, Howler is probably a reference to a King Crimson song

You know what, I don't think the skin thing has anything to do with the Stand attack. I bet the skin is why Usagi wears that ridiculous bodysuit.

Haha, I forgot I wanted to make this point too. One of the funniest loving things in Jojo's ever when Meryl says for them not to do anything that would cause witnesses to remember them. Stand Users in Jojo's are like the 100% most witness-able people. You've got mf'ingTingle, a guy with heavy face tattoos combined with a low cut shirt showing more tattoos and a big bow, and Dragona in like a one-piece bathing suit, a huge D patch, and a circlet of flowers. Yeah, those guys will fit right in at the land registry office.

If you look at the security guards hanging out around them on these pages/panels, they're not drawn like Araki usually draws hapless NPCs, they're drawn with [resolute stares], usually the mark of a Stand user(s) lol.

Top of page 16 especially.

They don't say a single word, "Those guys didn't give a poo poo!", Charmingman continuing to stare at them even after they walk away... my Stand User radar is going off.

They're not dressed like total tossers though?

Some Stand Users are pretty mundane looking! I'm reminded of Gray Fly at the start of Stardust Crusaders or even Steely Dan having the presence of mind to wear a disguise.

I love it anytime the heroes need to figure out Who's the Stand User and are unable to pinpoint the one guy in the crowd of normies who looks like a clown on meth. It's that guy! You know it's that guy because he dresses like you!

Hey come on now, sometimes the Stand Users just look like this, you can't always just pick em out of a crowd like DIO or Rohan.

I think Gray Fly and Steely Dan might have been the only actual assassins dio found, what with trying to blend in and fool the others by acting like a bystander. Everyone else dio just found at various swingers and bdsm clubs and was like "here have a stand and come with me"

But only if he didn't try to give 47 a stand. If he got a stand it'd only be a matter of time until he started confronting targets face to face and lecturing them about how his stand works

E: oh yeah, evil baby was more professional than most of dio's assassins lmao

It's probably because I've seen so much JoJo now that they don't stick out like a sore thumb anymore in comparison but I don't feel like High Priestess, Bastet, N'Doul, D'Arby (Senior), and Hol Horse were that out of line. You give Mountain Tim the right color palate and I think he'd fit in just about anywhere in SBR.

He does that anyhow! He can't stop himself from going "It's nice to meet you, Mr. Target. My name is Mr. Kills You....wouldn't it be a shock if I....killed you?" And then Mr. Target goes "ohoho what a card" before you throw him off a balcony

This is why stands are so much fun as a narrative tool. They can be attached to anything, and do anything, there are absolutely no rules.

Maybe each island has a stand, and they're toying with the humans living on them. The series ends with Jodio punching a volcano :allears:

Wait, no, he has rain powers, he erodes it!

Joseph already punched a volcano. Come up with something new, loser.
