    Edit: I decided to make a Stand bio for my idea. Stand Name: I Wanna Rock!
    User:???/The lava rock
    Ability: Value pulling
    The stand attracts any object of value towards the lava rock that is inanimate. The stand can also let the user create a temporary body by grafting the valuables to the lava rock.

    Can’t believe it’s already been a year that flew by. I still remember the day it came out I was on a trip and read the first chapter in the car it was a great day. So far it’s been pretty cool but I can’t wait to see where it goes once it really starts picking up. We aren’t even far enough into the story for people to be saying it’s “the worst part” yet… most likely because people aren’t used to waiting for new jojo chapters every month and have been able to binge read the previous ones.

    Quick theory idea:
    "Blessings from the earth, Devil's palms, The Holy Corpse, etc." are all reoccurring things in this universe and are directly related/causality based to each other, all with the Corpse being the catalyst. We learned in part 8 that the corpse was taken by the Speedwagon Foundation, and they are based in America. Hawaii is a part of America. What if someone, either a part of the organisation or a completely different descendant of a Steel Ball Run character or something like that, just straight up stole the corpse like Johnny did after part 7, and did so because they could see how dangerous it is. And the only way they thought to permanently and completely get rid of it was to drop it into an active/lava-filled volcano, thus transferring it's power to the land/island/only the volcano or whatever. Hell, it could've even been this world's Joseph who did it, mirroring how the original Joseph tried to kill off Cars in a volcano as well.
    Just an idea. Could be possible, could be completely off track. I dunno

    • @Darth_Bateman
      @Darth_Bateman 10 місяців тому +5

      So you gotta re read Jojolion, because the corpse is literally still buried in the Higashikatas backyard.
      But what you have to remember? Saints are those who master the spin.
      There can be more than one and there have been more than one as pointed out by the characters in steel ball run.
      What I’m concerned about though, is what else is out there.
      The Lava Rock reminds me of the corpse and wonder of u. Attracting good fortune to the rock itself.

    • @Lazerlight1212
      @Lazerlight1212 10 місяців тому +20

      @Darth_Bateman Uh... I really don't want to be "that guy" and correct anyone or anything, but it is specifically stated in Jojolion that after Johnny's death, the Speedwagon Foundation agents that were following him since he stole the corpse took it for themselves. Probably for research purposes. It didn't remain buried in the hill, and the hill wasn't even in the Higashikata estate. It's where Shakedown Road is. The shrine to Johnny's legend there has a counterpart which is found on the estate, which is where some of the wall eyes are, and is where the equivalent exchange can occur in the ground.
      Also, "Saints" aren't specifically people who master the spin. As Gyro said: "A person can only be called a Saint after at least 2 miracles can be attributed to them after they died." Some Saints surely would've mastered Spin, but it's not a requirement to be one.
      The main reason I'm thinking about the Holy Corpse from part 7 is that it was a major part of the story obviously and also contributed to the events of part 8. It's also the corpse of Jesus Christ, so I'm pretty sure that that's something worth capitalising on for story purposes. Plus, if any corpse of a saint can somehow survive a lava bath, as well as a couple thousand years of natural weathering, it would be the Holy Corpse

    First of all, psychopathy is a personality disorder, not a mental disorder. Its not something that can be cured or treated. With that out of the way, here's my theory on how I think things will go on.
    So, the lava rock. It attracts objects with sentimental value, not necessarily ones that have monetary value. The protag is a self-centered asshole who just wants wealth and doesn't exactly cares for his partners. Now think back to gangster movies like Scarface, where the asshole protag fights to get to the top of the world, but to get there loses everything he ever cared about in the process to the point that his victory is ultimately shallow and phyrric. Now back to the lava rock, and what I believe is the central theme of this part's plot and what's coming Jodio's way, learning and choosing what really matters in his life, what it is that is really valuable. He will have to make those choices, whether to stand up for his partners/friends/family or sacrifice them.

    • @Darth_Bateman
      @Darth_Bateman 10 місяців тому +44

      I think you misunderstood Jodio completely.
      He may not be capable of caring in the typical way, but he believes in “rules” and those rules keep him grounded.
      Rules like fair play, trust, and family.
      Furthermore, Jodio DOES care about Dragona. Enough to square up with a cop packing heat.
      He cares about his mother enough to use his connections to make her life comfortable.
      Most importantly, he cares about rules enough to let an undercover cop nearly bust him.

      Psychopaths lack any form of empathy, this makes them very self-centered and manipulative. They will "care" for other people if they see those people as his "property" or an extension of themselves, or if it is on their best interests to care for those people and treat them well. Jodio is likely the latter.

    Jodio character seems interesting, darker direction of the gangster Anti-hero. Giorno who was ruthless but had moral boundaries he wouldn't cross, such as selling drugs to minors. Ultimately had morally good intentions, that involved taking control of mafia in order to make the streets safer.
    Constrant to Jodio who is not only self-serving. His a violent, impulsive and arrogant street thug who wiling to use any means necessary to acquire wealth. Well as being a psychopath.
    Essentially Jodio and his crew are Villian protagonists. Fascinating too see where the Big Bad stand is he/she gonna as be evil as Jodio, we get an Evil vs Evil conflict. Or is the Big Bad is gonna more evil making him/her just a complete monster, in comparison to Jodio and his crew making them anti-heroes as they have the higher moral ground in regard to the conflict.
    Araki pull twist Jodio becomes the Big Bad antagonist if continues on the trajectory his on. This definitely has potential.

  • @killertron8953
    @killertron8953 9 місяців тому +4

    So this is kinda random but I honestly would like this to be heard by someone. This is basically a cool stand idea that would be fun in part 9 as a major side villain ability. The name I thought of was “Duel of the Fates” a double sided blade with the handle made from steel and dark wood. It has the power of granting immense physical strength, fighting technique, foresight, an extendable chain in the hilt, and can push/repel anything in contact with the side of the blade. It does play off some of the ideas of Anubis from part three of adapting to opponents over time which I feel makes the user quite terrifying. This concept makes me think of the user feeling similar to Toji fushigoro from jjk who is an assassin for hire which would work for the story. I wish I had any good capabilities of drawing since I feel this would be a really cool ability to see since brawling stands make for good fights. The only reason why I feel it could backfire is how there is so much given in “Duel of the Fates” arsenal but that is to make him an overwhelming threat. I’m probably going a bit far in detail by this point but I could see this ability’s user entering the manga after doing a job to take down king crimson using the foresight to react and kill him. I hope you see this Metas as I feel like you might find this really fun to read but have an awesome day bud and keep up the good work!

    "First action is to get cash from Rohan"
    Why does this sound so familiar?
    11:03 I can vaguely see where the wind blows from. The throughline of the original story(additionally strenghened by the anime adaptation, but it was always there) is that Jonathan grew up to be a symbol of positive change upon the world and thus it is fate that in the future, his family will always appear to combat evildoers. Under that idea, even morally questionable criminals have to ultimately be good people, it would make no sense otherwise. Araki wanted to do other things, so we went to an unrelated universe. And that thematically allows for Jojos that aren't strictly in the right because suddenly none of them are related to the original Jonathan anymore, so it wouldn't mess with anything. If anything, some specific things seem to be specifically inverted here.

    Josuke (Kira +Josephumi), and Yasuho
    So unless Dragona or Charming Man are counterparts. They join soon enough

    • @sssspider
      @sssspider 10 місяців тому +5

      Dragona fairly obviously seems to me to be a counterpart to Anasui. They both have androgynous/feminine designs, their stands have similar abilities of altering and rearranging matter, and they both have the letter D prominently featured in their design (on Diver Down also in Anasui’s case).

    Since part 7, Araki has been bombarding us with a lot of mystical metaphors like the corpse, the rokakaka fruit, and now I guess it's the lava rock. The lava rock is just going to be another "thing" the characters fight over for control of I guess this time would be "wealth" or the "mechanism". But what I'm most interested in has to be how Spin is going to be added to the story this time. We've seen Spin become a consistent thing to the Joestar bloodline from part 7 so Jodio and Dragona has to obtain it at some point.

    Honestly i find all the stands so far pretty interesting, including how they changed Heaven's Door, now instead of having to pull out his stand to turn them into a book, he just has to touch them and they fall unconscious with the pages flipping, November rain is cool with rain with weight applied to them, The Hustle is still a little confusing to me, like how he can kinda absorb things into his flesh, but i'm just not 100% sure yet how it works. The wired cats are cool as hell, again not 100% sure how the power works, it just seems like the fur of the cat turns into steel wire that they can fully control.. Sorry that i'm not mentioning the other stands but i just don't know their names, sure all their powers are cool and they all have their time to shine so far.

    • @Artician
      @Artician 5 місяців тому

      Correction: Rohan didn't ONLY touch them, he touched them and then the ability activated with a delay, similiar to KQ's bombs. He also appeared to be unable to use his stand to turn them into books, only able to do it when he actually touched someone with his own hands.

    I feel for a monthly release the storytelling isn't very packed. The latest chapter picked up the pace, but it took a year to get what even the conflict of the story even is, and we don't know much about the cast. It will surely be better on a re-read, but previous parts felt more straightforward in establishing what the group's goals are.

    We'll see. It's only on like chapter 14 at the time of me writing this (it was probably on like 11 or 12 at the time of this video), so things have only just started to take off. The Stands of the main group seem pretty situational and "weak" to me at this point to be honest, which means they'll probably get major boosts later in the story at some point.

    • @orionpisces5875
      @orionpisces5875 7 місяців тому

      I don't think they need a boost in power at all, they're all perfectly capable stands which all point clearly towards how this part will play out. The plot has been set up (as of chapter 14) to be very Man vs Society and to have any emphasis on stands designed to fight head on would make little sense cause you're not just going to beat up The Powers That Be into submission.

    My biggest issue is there's nothing that catches the interest so far, aside of the damn lava rock, and this may go through the same route as part 5, which means it may not have anything to complement parts 7 or 8 and could be more of a filler part.

    On the other hand, this has to be the wackest and lamest set of Jojo designs. Aside from Jodio and Dragona, I really dislike everyone else's designs. Too Araki-esque, in my opinon.

    "so i'm thinking about Jojo Part9 and the current universe in general and i realized do we even know who Jodio's supposed be a parallel toward?
    like Jonathan to Johnny, Josuke to Gappy, and then there's Jodio. it's not Jolyne obviously and i don't see it being Giorno because he probably would have the name Jogio or something. thematically Jodio being Giorno makes sense because they're both criminals with a name that stems from Dio in some way (remove the second have of Giorno's name and replace the G with D and you get Dio and Jodio just has Dio in his name). and November Rain is kind of like Weather's stand with the overpowered rain so...is Jodio a parallel to Weather? because spoilers for Part6 the Green Baby gives Pucci and Weather (and later Emporio) the Joestar birthmark"
