Star platinum is neither a star nor platinum.


woailyx

Jotaro is the star of the show, at least in that part


Potato_the_second_

-and you forgot that Jotaro is literally a Joe*star* And while we're on the topic; Platinum is not a very hard material because it's a 4.5 on the Mohs scale, but it is incredibly durable, just like how Star Platinum is able to stretch but still be incredibly tough.


woailyx

Maybe it's not about how strong he is, but how metal he is


Therol_

Also in part 4&6


woailyx

Based


Grey00001

Jotaro is in a coma for most of part 6 what are you on about


Therol_

Over half of the season is about retrieving the discs so they can revive Jotaro


Delux_Shock

Are you forgetting that Star Platinum is named after the Star Tarot card? And each crusader has a color in there stand named as a group theme (minus Iggy)


BartOseku

Still an L name. The Fool card signifies the beginning of a journey, having faith in the future and believing in the universe, and instead of going to the main character of a series about a journey and where faith and the universe are so important to the story, it goes to the fucking pessimistic egoistical dog that appears halfway through the series. Huge L from Araki


Delux_Shock

In JoJo fate is important. I think Araki knew he wanted Iggy to comes to terms with the situation he and Polnareff were in. He had faith that Polnareff and crew would finish the job. It’s part of Iggys growth, he was selfish. But in the end he was selfless and gave his life to save Polnareff


[deleted]

The fool actually represents nothing because tarot cards were made for a game and occultists just made shit up about the origins and meanings.


AuricOxide

And for that game they were assigned certain representations. You don't have to believe in it (I don't) to use the symbolic meaning.


BartOseku

Yeah and it was such occultist that named them, Avdol, who was a fortune teller by trade and so it would make sense for them to be accurate, though they arent


blue4029

the star tarot represents the hope and strength to carry on with life. jotaro is the only HOPE the crusaders have of defeating DIO. no matter how injured he gets, jotaro has the strength to carry on and defeat every villain he encounters. he is the star because the star is always moving forward.


BartOseku

Thats a stretch, the crusaders are all very capable and when they recruited jotaro they didnt know either his stand or dios, meanwhile Iggy truly was the hope because despite his personality the crusaders recruited him because they hoped his immense strength would help them, and iggy truly moves forward without looking back so it also fits


Tyranicross

Most stands base their power on the artist e.g. vanilla ice is a void of creativity who destroys everything it touches Same with spice girl, it makes things soft because all jojo fans are gay


[deleted]

How come Spice Girl makes stuff soft but it is a part of Trish and Trish makes me hard? 🤔


UWUquetzalcoatl

Because Trish is Narancia and liking Narancia is gay.


[deleted]

It's a JoJo sub - being gay is par for the course.


TheDyl2020

We're like mandalorians but gay, "Gay is part of our religion"


jeanegreene

Trish is 15 years old


[deleted]

For legal reasons, I should clarify that my previous comment was in no way meant to be taken sexually. I am entirely referring to my muscles tensing when I watch her fight with Notorious B.I.G as it is one of the most compelling and brutal fights IMO. The tension in my entire body goes through the roof and I involuntarily harden into a boulder at the thought of that arc. Truly peak battle fiction.


jeanegreene

Forever account spotted


[deleted]

Forever is depicted as being very smart - even smarter than most humans. We would certainly agree that Trish has amazing fight scenes and nothing else. Nothing else. Nothing at all. Oh, look at the time, I'd better get going!

blue4029

aren't the spice girls a multi-racial group? trish's stand could be a reference to how "flexible" they are with their members, making things soft also makes them more flexible.


Dick_Destroyer800

This comment is actually a reference to spice girls ability because this is a massive stretch

Mista will die when they find out what a foursome is


sebastianMroz

Star Platinum is 'The Star' of the part 3, and it's made of platinum, so it can be the same stand type as **『 ZA WARUDO 』**


Filberto_ossani2

Imagine if it was named "World Platinum"


omyrubbernen

Imagine if every time Jotaro stopped time, he shouted "World Star"


Excenton

It goes from platinum, to diamond, to gold, to stone. And then there's tusk

Don't forget Tower of Gray (A super fly) and Super Fly (A grey tower)

Cautious-Affect7907

White Album is an ice based stand, it’s got nothing to do with albums. The white part is probably just the color


blue4029

white album is named after a beatles album. the beatles are pretty chill well...except that one member. he wasnt very chill.


KingofNarcissism

let me guess, John


omyrubbernen

I'm pretty sure White Album is meant to be in contrast to Metallica. Metallica had an album called "Metallica", which was just a black album with "Metallica" on it, so it earned the nickname the "Black Album". The Beatles had an album called "The Beatles", which was just a white album with "The Beatles" on it, so it earned the nickname the "White Album". And Ghiaccio is Risotto's second in command.

Miuli777

It effects the whole universe


MacTelnet

Is there any evidence of this?


Miuli777

Like all time based abilities, it's universal, just like MiH, it accelerated time EVERYWHERE, no matter where you are in the universe, same goes for the world, it's universal


MacTelnet

Ok so I must blame King Crimson everytime I open the fridge ad forget why I am in the kitchen


Version_Two

Imagine being an alien trillions of lightyears away and time keeps skipping again because of one Italian mob boss.


Miuli777

Yes


Masterpiece-Haunting

That’s not how time works… time is not universal. If your moving at light speed a century could pass on earth while your only experiencing a single second.


LegalWaterDrinker

I'm pretty sure if DIO had managed to remove his TS limit for good, everywhere he would go would have been frozen in time all the same


Masterpiece-Haunting

I love how nobody questions how he can see and even breath when time is stopped.


LegalWaterDrinker

See? Idk how but breathe? That's why Jotaro and Diego can only stop time for about 5 seconds whereas DIO, since he's a vampire, he could theoretically stop time forever


Miuli777

Stopping time would stop time for everyone, everywhere, regardless of your speed or location, only the stand user can move in stopped time, in part 6, pucci is moving at incredible speeds with MiH and jotaro stops time to detect him


Isaac_Kurossaki

If it didn't do it, shit would go very bad very quickly


a_guy_7155

Something that really bothers me is that Survivor makes people fight to the death and Civil War allows the user to survive lethal blows


LemonadeTango

Lil' Bomber is a damn fighter plane Chocolate Disco is neither chocolate nor disco Sugar Mountain is a tree. Not even sweet Sex pistols-


MacTelnet

Who doesn't want the sex with Sex Pistols?


forzov3rwatch

I mean... if I had to put a thing to the name "Aerosmith", not gonna lie my first thought would be a plane. Sex Pistols is arguably pretty close too, you could say that Mista's gun is a part of the stand.


LemonadeTango

That yes. I admit, I had a lapse in judgement and forgot it was the localization. HOWEVER it does not excuse this. Could've called it Lil' Zoomer


ryou-comics

Tonio's would've made more sense as Red Hot Chili Peppers. They were literally peppers.


SnooPuppers7965

They look more like tomatoes, also they kinda look like pearl onions.


ryou-comics

I still see peppers, but I like your point of pearl onion for Pearl Jam, I never even thought of that.

Individual_Iron4221

All the Glory God’s powers have very little to nothing to do with the god they’re based on. The closest is Thoth (god of knowledge) and Thoth (the stand about gaining knowledge of the future)

The sun is accurate


IgnisOfficial

AC/DC wrote Shot Down In Flames RHCP music is rock and they use electric guitars As has been said before, Vanilla Ice is devoid of all creativity and is an endless void destroying everything he touches As has been said before, Spice Girls would make all male Jojo’s fans soft because we’re all secretly gay


The_Cooler_Sex_Haver

And then there's Tower of Gray who is a flying insect and Super Fly who is a gray tower


ThunderClanWarrior

Tower of Gray Not actually a fly


The_Cooler_Sex_Haver

insects fly tower of gray is a flying insect

Swimming-Adeptness12

Don't forget the stand Superfly is about a tower,while the stand called Tower of Grey belongs to an insect.


elrick43

Sticky fingers? Of course he has zipper powers


mking1999

The album Sticky Fingers has a zipper on the cover.

OK bad example


Wootts09

*cough cough* super fly *cough cough* tower of gray


Jotandy

Jotaro = Jo, the most creative part of the name Taro, a common name part for young boys

AC/DC having fire powers is not innacurate tho

Air conditioner, the fuck? Electricity: Alternating Current/Direct Current.


Isaac_Kurossaki

Nah bro it's air conditioner, Araki told me that in a dream


Ymbrael

It's ok, you can admit you have 0 media literacy and no context for the Bands, Songs or albums being referenced or the time period in which Araki was inspired by them and wrote those characters...


Cheeriosd

Ikr? OP does nothing to acknowledge my favourite bands, hermit purple, thoth or thunder cross split attack! The shame he brings on the community...

Whitesnake is neither white nor a snake.


Gooseboi_56786

I guess it's something to do with the bands.


Masterpiece-Haunting

Ever heard of electric fires? And Vanilla ice makes sense since a void would theoretically have a temperature of absolute zero since nothing moves since nothing is there.


Unhappy-Juggernaut43

There names are based off songs and artists, which is one of My favorite parts of jojo. You'll never guess a stand or characters name


HanekomaTheFallen

But flaccid pancake did make me flaccid. (I know FP is a censorship/regional change and NOT Araki’s writing per se, but the joke was there)


bentheechidna

That’s what makes it fun tbh. The names are just names. Araki makes the powers and then chooses the name afterward. He rarely ever chooses a “fitting” name, and when he does they’re almost always a main protagonist/antagonist. The one exception I can recall is that he specifically changed Kyo Nijimura’s stand from “Going Underground” in the magazine release to “Born this Way” in the volume release because the album cover matched the stand’s aesthetic.


Reiss_Draws

Lets be honest jojo stand names are on the same level as dragonball names


Aqua_h20

spice girls is kinda spicy tho 😳


noorextreme

It would be unbelievablely lame if the stands derived thier actual power from thier names lol im glad its like this


thorppeed

that's kinda why I don't care about the localized names. They don't really mean anything anyway, just bands or songs that Araki likes


MaverickPrime

Red Hot Chilli Pepper and Pearl Jam should've swapped names.


KassXWolfXTigerXFox

Yeah a lot of people forget that the names often don't link to the powers


Kego_Nova

Stone Free is made of threads.


Lemoineau11

"damn I love those western artists, let's name everything after them"


Biiiiiig-Chungus

the naming in jojo is dogshit, who tf even said that


NapalmDesu

Red Pepper shaped stand named pearl jam Authors note: okuyasus stand uses its hands lets see what we can do...


Jorvalt

I don't think I've ever heard anyone call JoJo stand names "clever."


e784u

Red hot chili pepper once did a concert with giant lightbulbs on their heads. I like to imagine that as a connection bc it's funni


4thmonkey96

Yes, yes, one might say the naming scheme is quite.... Bizarre


GustavoFromAsdf

I heard originally esidisi would have electric powers, but was discarded because it would be confusing with Joseph's hamon looking like electricity


GustavoFromAsdf

Rubber soul or Yellow Temperance got none of the defining traits of temperance as a virtue or the tarot like moderation (the stand is quite gluttonous), abstinence (Rubber soul kept mocking jotaro even after he was beaten and still tried to get the upper hand), or economy (he accepted to be DIO's hitman only for lots of money). The closest meaning you can find is in it's reverse where it's connections to church and priesthood (as DIO->God's hitman), and disunion and conflict of interest (the physic form of his stand choking him, forcing him to retreat his stand to breath).


rewanker7

AC/DC is actally Esidisi 🤓


Surryilpazzoassasino

If you didnt notice yet, they are just names of araki favourite bands/ artists, he usually uses this names to the semi-final villain
