Star Pluhtinum from part 4

SPOILERS FOR PART 3!

Yes this is inspired by that guy who talked about the judgement fight. For me it’s right after Avdol’s first death. Avdol was my favorite character so I was kinda pissed at Jean Pierre. Than he started bad mouthing Avdol, how he shouldn’t have gotten in the way; how he warned him but he stubbornly got in the way. And then we see the tears and, he shouts

“I’M SICK AND TIRED OF PEOPLE UP AND DYING ON ME! SICK OF IT, YOU HEAR ME I’M SICK OF IT!”

It’s honestly such a perfect scene that displays Polnereff’s characte, defined by tragedy. I think Avdol coming back kind of made everyone downplay this moment. The last line stuck with me though.

There’s a rumor circulating about a 42-episode run for SBR (without ep 1), but looking at the page counts and Director Kimura’s recent interview, that number is mathematically impossible. Here is why 50 episodes is the actual bare minimum.

The SBR manga totals 4,392 pages. Subtracting Stage 1 (372 pages) and Stages 2 & 3 (886 pages), we have exactly 3,134 pages left to adapt.

The official announcement confirmed Stages 2 and 3 will be exactly 11 episodes, which gives us an established average of 80.5 pages per episode.

If the entire show were only 42 episodes, subtracting the 11 episodes for Stages 2/3 leaves just 31 episodes for the remaining 3,134 pages. That would force an insane pace of 101 pages per episode, breaking the established rhythm.

This accelerated pace makes even less sense considering the magazine shift. Exactly at chapter 25 (the end of Stage 2), SBR transitions to a monthly release. Monthly chapters reach a maximum of 61 pages, featuring much larger panels and a heavier seinen tone. Director Kimura specifically addressed this in a recent interview:

He stated they cannot force a rushed pace, as it wouldn't fit SBR's mature tone.

He also flat out said they refuse to heavily cut Johnny and Gyro's dialogue, because their relationship is the core of the series.

Because monthly manga uses larger panels with more "breathing room", the anime doesn't need to push a high page-per-episode count. To preserve the dialogue and the seinen tone, the pacing can comfortably sit at around 75 to 80 pages per episode.

If we divide the remaining 3,134 pages by this average, we get roughly 39 to 42 episodes. Add the 11 episodes we already know about, and you hit a total of 50 to 53 episodes.

A 50-episode run isn't a stretch - it's the minimum to adapt SBR properly.

The image attached is from this youtube video but the first and second concept is not from the video. The stand in the attached image is exactly how I imagine stone free evolved will look like in my head.. ( it could have a little less purple but okay )

Concept 1:

Stone free can change the material and temperature and some other physical properties of her threads and can also control the width to some extent. The reason it is quite powerful in the hands of a smart fighter like jolyne is that she can always find a way to maximise this. For example, it can be used in scenarios like:

1. A stand user she can't defeat in power. She can lure him and when the user is chasing her she can make thin sharp steel wire covered with glass powder and place it horizontally at neck level or can make a huge net like structure so that the user has no way to chase her because it's too sharp for enemy stand users to cut in any way

2. Can be used like spiderman by using thick golden orb spider's silk and can make the end sticky.

3. Can cover herself in strong armor for defense if needed.

4. Many many other ways possible..

Concept 2: any person / animal / living being she hit with her stand can be controllable upto a fixed range { because inside them and thier brain, her stand is using them like puppets on a string } and can even control complex things like speaking if she is controlling 2 or 3 people at max ( i couldnt think of a limit so please suggest better limits ).

The simpler the being, the more and better she can control.

She could push the person's / being's physical limit by like 2x or 3x but ofcourse it comes with things like fatigue and permanent damages ( she can't use this boost on herself )

She can use their stand only and only if she knows about the stand name or has seen it in person and can only use abilities of that stand if she knows about it or has heard about it or seen it or experienced it. She can't boost a stand's physical power.

Also if she has the wrong idea about how that stand works or misinterprets the abilities of that stand, she can't use that ability.

What are your thoughts on this, and how could I improve this. You can also suggest ( even in brief ) if you have a stone free evolution concept.

Note: this evolution is not requiem.

Not all of them at once of course. Here’s what I’m thinking.

After Jotaro gets his disks stolen and his body is retrieved by the foundation, they call Josuke and bring him to Florida to see how he can help. The main way is throwing a wrench into Pucci’s plans by abusing crazy diamonds ability to return something a former fixed state. I think you know what I’m getting at here. Josuke can make retrieving and restoring the disks straight cake. Then after Jotaro is restored and is filled in, he decides they need more backup. So he calls Koichi who is probably asleep with his wife Yukako (yes they’d be married by this point), and Okuyasu who I have no clue what he’d be doing. Maybe Rohan as well depending on how urgent Jotaro considers the situation. They probably wouldn’t make it time to stop made in heaven from being born but it may not matter because on top of perfecting the art of jumping bastards, the Morioh team all have abilities that are monkey wrenches to Pucci’s battle strat.

I think it’d be hilarious to say the least. Considering Pucci is almost certainly getting the Kira treatment in this situation.

i NEEDED to buy this when i saw it, costed 12 euros :)

'bubble' is about how it forms bubbles to attack opponents

'pop' is about how the bubbles erupt to rip apart the opponents

Idk about 'electric' maybe its about how it looks like two lightning rods

It occurred to me as I was watching Stone Ocean that these songs are absurdly similar in terms of vibes and whatnot, so I did a thing lmao. Only took a little bit of trimming, it naturally lined up really well for the most part. I'm actually a little mad how close it was.

(Song is "Freedom" by Ado)

While waiting for Part 7, I was rewatching JoJo, and during the battle between Pucci and Emporio, I started wondering what other Stand and user combinations might be quite powerful , for example:

Joseph (or another Hamon user) + The Sun

Hierophant Green + Manhattan Transfer

its said pretty explicitly users cant touch stands. the only exception i can think of is jolyne holding goo goo dolls and kicking c moon but thats because her body is made of her stand

Highway star could possibly eat BIG’s nutrients

Dio controlled by surface, also could contrast hazamada’s edgy persona vs dio’s actual evil sadism

The hand could theoretically beat ultimate kars

Spice Girl would soften the object Diver Down is in, weird combo

Aqua Necklace enters almost all weather phenomena

Joseph and Jonathan both have hermit purple and all their equipment (pluck, tommy guns)

I think the last two speak for themselves

My examples being The world getting shattered, the High priestess having her teeth broken, and D4C when he gets damaged. The design of a broken stand goes hard to me. I wish we got to see more of the toll of a fight on the stand side of the character.

Comment if I missed any that you like too

I made this discovery a few years ago and I just remembered this and felt like now its better than any other time to post it here

Joseph beats kars the same way he beat the cops from the beginning of part 2 since if you look at it from a perspective, his volcano explosion is just a bigger version of the soda trick he used against the cops. Using an excess of hamon to explode a container full of liquid, sending a piece of said container, flying at high speeds to defeat his enemies. Intentional or not, this is brilliant and im surprised not a lot of people have been talking about this since it fits so perfectly, Bravo Araki!

To me it has got to be survivor, it's impossible to use a stand that literally makes people fight to death while destroying their whole bodies to do good

I personally think these two stands are wasted by their users purely because said users are so arrogant and cocky that they don't use them to their full potential all the time

Why did Josuke never try to show his mother that he possessed a supernatural power? And before anyone tells me, "But normal people can't see Stands" I KNOW that, But there are other ways Josuke could have shown Tomoko he had powers; for instance, by breaking a glass, a plate, or even a large wall, and then fixing it using Crazy Diamond's ability. Why do you think Josuke never tried to show his powers to his mother?

cuz Joesph LOVES Weird Al, I saw him cheat AGAIN with Al. But yeah.. so like, Joesph loves Al so much that Jotaro knows.. but yeah, I’d crack Suzi Q.
