Over all (including Non-Canon), S&W: Go Beyond would probably still not be able to defeat the Beyond Users from Jorge Joestar seeing that those guys get their Power from Meta-Fictional Writer who is above the whole JoJo Multiverse and views it as their own Fiction (being an infinite level Higher than Josuke), with there being statments that "The Only Thing that could beat a Beyond User is a Beyond User" (albeit this could be in question, due to Jorge Joestar coming out before S&W GB) So, DIO is stronger than Josuke but not with The World Over Heaven.
Imma be honest: you kinda just assumed a ton of stuff here. For example: you just assumed that part 8 killer queen scales to part 4 killer queen and thereby is ftl. However, if that isnt true then i dont think p8 kq has any ftl feats itself. Also, didnt tooru tank multiple go beyond bubbles and was still able to nearly perform a rokakaka exchange? Wouldnt that thereby imply that the explosions of the bubbles are really not that strong and therefore Dio over heaven could just heal after he gets hit?
Also, isnt go beyond technically a paradox? Since not having logic is the logic of how the stand works? Edit: also, how would the bubbles being 5th dimensional give them immesurable speed? By that logic, king crimson and ger should be at immesurable speed.
The strongest stands in Jojo in a nutshell: - "Like I said, it didn't happen" - Fingernails - Weaponized freak accidents - "Soap bubbles aren't real, they can't hurt you"
@@SuperNeos2 it’s kind of the same as breaking bad in my eyes, the show was so good that no matter what they did, the ending was going to “suck” just because you can’t really end a show well when it’s already had it’s best moments
@@chenxiangweimoe nothing= still logic josuke: my bubbles speeds inifinitely till become zero, so is at the same time infinite and also no speed, but those two can't exist at the same time, you can't have infinite speed/acceleration at the same time that you have 0 of them, breaking the logic
To make it easier for everyone, soft and wet removes existing laws and concepts in an area and stores them for later release. Go Beyond does the same thing, but instead of removing and storing, it outright deletes them from pure existence. It’s power is to delete things like curses, that the Jojo universe considers inescapable law.
Wonder of U existing in all Jojo universes really makes DIO's loss to Jotaro make much more sense. Having your head explode from your Stand's leg being punched is an example of calamity if I've ever heard one.
Nah, Dio's left side is weak according to his dialogue with Hol Horse somewhere in part 3, Dio attacks Jotaro with his right leg but Jotaro managed to block it so Dio uses his left leg instead but got Ora'd by Star Platinum and explode.
@@Darth_Bateman How was Dio "throwing the fight"? Yeah Jotaro outwitted him but Dio never made any exceptionally stupid decisions, he was as careful as he possibly could have been.

Go beyond is so powerful because it makes the sentence "nothing can kill me" into a literal sense, the bubble becomes nothing, therefore it can kill you.
Y'know, I feel like, with all the craziness of part 8, part 9 will almost certainly have to take a step back and downscale power to something manageable. Something a little less... huge, if that makes sense.
I feel like that was the idea for first half of DiU, most of the stands in the firdt half were weak as hell however used relatively smartly (Exceptions are The Hand and Crazy Diamond), however at 2nd half, yeah, it just goes crazy
Idk. Technically speaking Araki already scaled down the direct stakes in part 8 when compared to part 9, so if Araki follows a pattern that means that the direct scale would be so minuscule but the underlying impact would be astronomical. Which… now that I say it has a lot of paradoxical problems off the bat so I don’t wanna bother trying to make predictions based on your scenario.
It just occurred to me with Araki’s statement: “Defeating him (WOU) might be *beyond* hope.” Soft and Wet Go *Beyond* …How did I miss that for so long?
It's moments like this that I remember why "bizarre" is in the title of JJBA. The (debatably) strongest stand in the entire series' primary ability is predicated on bubbles.
@@victoroliveira3577 bubbles that can predict the future/get a lay of the land and move accordingly. Also can show images via bubble, similar to a crystal ball.
@@victoroliveira3577 well it'd have to be similar to hermit purple so I think making it useful but not super strong is the way to go, plus it makes it more interesting.
When it comes to the idea of strongest stands I've come to accept what Dio told pucci when explaining survivor. There isn't one because the stand power itself is subjective to the user and how it's implemented. Some good examples of the "strongest stands" that have huge limitations based on the users own capabilities are numerous. The hand, thoth, Purple Haze and the list goes on and on. Power In Jojo is such a complicated thing because a stand is limited to the user. For example a superspeed stand would be pointless on a person who can't walk unless they had the acumen to overcome this. It's such an interesting power system when you take the time to look at it
Was literally just thinking this. Go Beyond is kind of just a glorified beam when you think about it. It still has to be manually aimed and fired at a target. Any stand that is simply moving faster than it (Made in Heaven) or could find a way to disorient Josuke enough to fuck up his shot (perhaps something like Wekapipo's steel ball technique) could render him useless. Even a quick enough kill in time stop before he fires it off could counter him. I feel like the aim of this video is "Well S&WGB > WoU, therefore S&WGB > everything else" and that's just not correct. The reason that WoU is so strong IS because he is an innate counter to any attack (strongest defense is the strongest offense.) It's not just because Araki said so. S&WGB was pretty much designed just to counter WoU, which is part of the reason why I kind of hate it being introduced.
@@nicklemay8056 yeah and when it hits you it doesn't even kill you unless it's a vital area. i'd say go beyond has the highest scaling in the series in terms of overwriting other hax abilities, but that doesn't mean it wins every fight. i'm curious to see how it will be balanced if josuke is in part 9. hopefully we'll get to see him use plunder more cuz it was so under-explored. i don't want him to just death beam things and then lose if that doesn't work.
@@nicklemay8056 my editor took this part of the video out by accident, but one of the arguments I had at the very end of the video is the bubble would literally be transcending everything so it would move in time stop time skip and really anything it quite literally doesn’t care about vs arguments because it’s “ illogical“
@@METAsMETAs That's fair but I feel like we haven't seen enough of that to like prove it as fact. Wish we had more of Go Beyond instead of just like 10 chapters, or at least a better explanation of how it works.
@@METAsMETAs The thing with Time Erase is, that it just erases everything besides the user. If the projectile that Go beyond creates is part of the universe, that would mostlikley mean that it’ll be erased just like he rest of the universe. If not then I have no idea what would happen as nobody ever was inside time erase.
God, I love the concept of taking away an aspect of an object, it was so versatile and it made every fight more interesting and unpredictable. Even if it is not used a lot later in the part, it doesn't change the fact that Soft & Wet is one of the most interesting and most powetful stand in the series. I freaking love it.
Taking away some things is so useful, both in combat and out. You could take away friction from a bowling ball so it could roll with insane speeds You could take away the heat from a glass if you want a cold glass of water, or take away cold from a pot to make water boil quicker. You can do things like that, all the way up to taking away AIR FROM SOMEONE'S LUNGS, TAKING AWAY SOMEONE'S CONCEPT OF PAIN, TAKING AWAY SOMEONE'S SOUL. You would be a God of gods. Likely, I would use it for mundane tasks, because I'm not a murderous psychopath.
A stand that needs to fight in order to fight, yet can't be defeated if it fights. As in, as long as the stand/user isn't engaged in combat, it's an easy kill. As soon as it does, it will throw loads of plot armor into the enemies face.
@@mihailopopovic4759 WoU can't activate on its own. It has to be attacked first. With this variation, the user must be aware they're in a tight spot/endangered or raise their fists and strike first.
Soft and wet by itself is already absurdly strong even without go beyond. One way it can be used which i think they never do in the manga is he can steal the electricity or conductivity from a person making their brain no longer able to function since it can no longer fire synapses telling the body what to do so your heart stops beating, no breathing, etc.
@@gogetablueballs eh not exactly since it aint stealing and also i feel like josuke just didnt do that was dumb so it might mean that it requires something more or more complex property is harder to steal or smth
To sum it up, I'd say S&W Go Beyond is the strongest 'attack' but not the strongest stand. It's an attack that can be summed up as the strongest that we've seen in all of jojo but I believe a few stands would be capable of killing Josuke before he even uses it or while he's attempting to use it.
@Joseph Rogers the go beyond bubble is just basicly a beam, you have to aim it and hit someone with it, if you can't do that then it's useless. People like Pucci or anyone that can attack you instantly will win against go beyond
@Yasuhoismine it isn't, he didn't know it existed till he found out about it and unintentionally activated it, it isn't passive and he had to control it
@@Nicholasivanbabic He just need to awaken it. and if it is or not it won't even matter anyway cause gappy can just make multiple go beyond bubbles or make a big one to shield himself.
Hypothetically speaking, since the bubbles exist outside of reality, that means that even The World Over Heaven might not be able to rewrite then since he can only rewrite reality. But once again, this is hypothetically speaking.

There has been a recurring power scaling pattern I’ve noticed in jojo, and it’s that in every part an entity would always surpass the power of the previous part. Wether in one situation or another. (Spoiler warning) -Phantom Blood is the base, and it’s strongest powers consisted of Hamon and Vampiric powers. -Battle Tendency’s strongest power had to be the ultimate life form Kars, where he had the capacity to surpass the abilities of Part 1 -Stardust Crusaders’ strongest power was Time stopping, which would likely beat Kars because all life exists in the domain of time. Time reigns over it. -Diamond is Unbreakable’s strongest power was temporarily Bites the dust. Even though the Motion gang were able to beat Kira, if it weren’t for hayato’s plan then part 4 would end in a tragedy where the time loops would continue forever. Only by that point , we realize that fate transcends time. -Golden Wind revolves around the powers of fate, and the strongest stands there were GER followed by King Crimson. Even though one can escape their current situation, your fate is always inevitable in the end. (Example is the infinite death loop) This concludes Fate can be one of the strongest forces out there. -Stone Ocean had Pucci wielding a very strong stand being Made in heaven. Even though GER can be considered stronger than MIH in a 1v1, fate can only go so far as it can sometimes be abstract. Pucci was able to reset the original universe due to his control of doing so, he had the power to speed up and restart the universe due to his infinite speed. He did die to Emporio, which was his fate so fate is still on par I guess, yet fate is doing it’s work in the domain of a universe. -Steel Ball Run had very powerful abilities, those being the infinite rotation and D4C’s complicated ability regarding alternate universes. D4C had control over many universes, and he could switch in and out of any universe he wanted. But, he was defeated because the infinite rotation allowed an entity to constantly spin without obstruction, essentially spinning infinitely. That infinity followed valentine to multiple universes and sealed his fate. -Jojolion’s strongest powers were the Wonder of U’s calamity and Soft and Wet Go beyond. Wonder of U now wasn’t just a stand, it was a concept that was godlike. As shown by the video it absolutely can transcend, grounded abilities, advanced grounded abilities, time and space, fate, and universes/realities. It abided by logic, and was a concept or inevitability that conquered all but not Soft and Wet Go beyond. It really went beyond, beyond logic itself-as it was essentially nothing. Mankind’s natural ability
I think the only "logical" conclusion will be that the last "strongest stand" will be a total 4th wall break, essentially allowing the User to escape/influence their medium (manga). So basically deadpool
@@vatsalsrivastav5195 Jojolands seems to be it, no stand there feels busted or even some managing to break peak. Soft and Wet was already busted at introduction and by the time we realized Tusk evolved, it was already getting crazy. November rain doesn't feel like much.
Just a correction: I believe Josuke is actually Kira's body with Josefumi parts, because if you pay attention to the way the new Rokkakaka works, that's the only possible scenario. It would also explain how Josuke awoke wearing Kira's hat and how Kira's clothes are a perfect match for him.
Well kinda spoilers here from the manga what baisicly happened is because if a fruit josefumi and kira merged into a brand new being eith no memories and the parts that didnt need cause kira was casually at the verge of death so josefumi tried to feed him the fruit that i dont remember its name but it works on equal exchange and when tried to do that the ground like sifted cause of an earthquake and they fell in so the equal exchange that hapenned was to basically a brand new being to be created thats why josuke has 4 balls and etc. ( corection its later revealed that ussing his stand power josefumi tried to replicate the fruit but it ended up being a more powerl full one that when the user eats it the personal he touches they switch their parts like for example if someone doesnt have am arm and eats that fruit and touches a person then he is gonna transfer the other person's arm to him but the other person would lose their arm. So when the ground shifted josefumi touched the in verge of death kira and they switched so many body parts that created a new human being that was half kira and half josefumi)
"Calamity" is the basis of the entire Joestar curse from parts 1-6 and it followed them as a metaphysical manifestation, in Wonder of U, to an ALTERNATE REALITY.
in the context of the Single Shot Theory, which essentially (roughly, its been a hot minute) posits that even though the manifestation of Tusk was defeated when Johnny was shot, its infinity continued without the physical binds to influence things into creating a stand that could defeat its target (you know, how Tusk always reaches its target but stretched to the extreme), this comes off as even more terrifying
@@kyeda Where is it stated ger can nullify intent? Diavolo DEFINITLY still wanted to kill giorno, he was just freaked out, so I don't think ger can do that. Also, im not arguing that ger couldn't beat josuke, he could, josuke might not even HIT ger or giorno, since he can't aim go beyond's bubble, I'm just arguing, that if for whatever reason, ger LET him use go beyond, no one, not even josuke or ger, could stop the bubble.
@@dattos140 The main issue Go Beyond would run into is that the source of whatever causes Giorno to die would get reset back to a state where it wouldn’t, like I have basically zero doubt that Josuke even attempting to aim his bubble would trigger GER into removing the action, because that’s the inciting insider which would’ve led to Giorno dying…
I would argue that D4C: LT cancels out WoU as long as he's inside is barrier. He's kind of the immovable object to WoU's unstoppable force. WoU is misfortune while D4C: LT is a misfortune redirecter. Either way, there is very little to no way D4C: LT is defeating WoU
@@GayForklift Yeah, like whatever misfortune is thrown at D4C:LT will just be thrown into an alternative dimension like in part 7. So the misfortune does happen, but to everyone else than Valentine
Lmao so basically they can't hit each other? WoU attacks can't enter love train and if D4C even gets out of love traij to hit WoU then he would be hit by calamity so basically a staring contest
I haven't read anything past the end of Jolyne but from what I gather from the video is this : WoU would supercede Love Train due to infinite calamity, there could only be a set amount of things that could be redirected untill there was nothing left. WoU beats all but S&W.
Funniest thing is alot of the strongest stand contenders might actually lose to silver chariot requiem which I guess makes it the strongest "anti stand" stand or just give it its own category of weirdess. Which goes with the general theme around SCR all things considered.
@@ericsbuds that because the user died during the process of requiem meaning it's complete and someone need to replace to user to project it which is everyone else if it is complete the light behind wouldn't even exist and the cr use ability would be absolute control of spirit and biology
Imagine getting a stand, and being like “cool so this gives me magic powers?” But than you get something like beach boy but than theres people getting time manipulation, power of calamity, moving between dimensions, simulating infinite deaths on your enemy, and be able to create infinity like tf are you gonna do in that world at that point
The problem with Jojo power scaling is Jojo fights function as a "action sequences", like it base the personality of the user and thier understand of things alot, but there's a gap above (around the time manipulation area) where you're stand becomes completely overpowered that no plays can damage you in any sense. Now the reason Soft and Wet is not fightingly the strongest becomes it lacks protection, it doesn't have the concept of "unbeatable defence" making the strongest stand can be able to get beaten by even Sliver Chariot
I still can't believe how simple of a stand silver chariot is, it's literally just a fast dude with a rapierand the only special ability it had is firing the needle. that being said polnareff and silver chariot are still on my top 5 favorites from the franchise🤣
Great points, but I had so many years of powerscaling experience and need to point out the problem that many powerscalers had, even in death battle communities: people often took things way too literally and ended up interpreting characters way more powerfully than they actually are. Theories here presents a lot of reach and cope, in convincing that something is so OP and broken beyond what they actually are. I see this in so many shonen anime fandoms already.
Concept of spin that we know about from Steel Ball Run IS some of the Jousuke's soap bubbles. As Rai said, among normal soap bubbles, which can absorb both small and decent-sized objects (e.g. berries and even people), there are also soap bubbles that are made of a thin string, that is spinning rapidly. This rapidly spinning line forms object which shape resembles normal soap bubble. And since this is NOT soap bubble, but spinning thread, those soap bubbles are nothing, but rotation itself. So, yeah Statement that there's no spin in JojoLion is pretty wrong. (sorry for my English)
Part 6 was when the stand power creep started to *spiral* (ha ha) out of control, but with Wonder of U and SaWGB, I think we’ve reached the pinnacle of lunacy.
@@shill2920 I don’t see it that way. It doesn’t matter if the next part has different characters. In order for any series to up the ante, it has to introduce characters with even crazier powers. Do you remember when stopping time seemed like the most overpowered ability? And then the series just kept going, progressively introducing new characters with stronger powers in every part after. So the power creep just keeps going up higher and higher. But let’s say part 9 doesn’t end nearly as crazy. On one hand you run the risk of disappointing fans for not being able to live up to the already near-impossible expectations of part 8; on the other hand, even though Josuke/Gappy, isn’t there, he probably still exists, which kind of eliminates all stakes from the plot. It’s the reason why you see so many fan animations putting Giorno in part 6.
Reading Jojolion didn't make me really realize just how broken S&W and Wonder of you are, I could recognize that wonder if you was pretty broken but still thought stuff like d4c love train would be stronger and Tusk act 4 would be the strongest (yes I think it's stronger than GER), but when you put it into the actual context of the Jojo verse and logic as a concept, S&W go beyond and a Wonder of U above everything. I do think you're doing the right thing because the Jojo fandom as a collective has to realize that GER isn't absolutely anymore because time exists and so does araki evolving as a person with new ideas, which naturally means his writing evolves and changes, so do stands and their context with the world and their strength. The way he uses and defines logic is utterly terrifying and S&W go beyond transcending that should make it definitively THE strongest stand as of part 8
The best argument that you can make for GER using return to zero on Go Beyond is that it would return Josuke’s intention of shooting the Go Beyond bubble, rather than returning the Go Beyond bubble itself, because if Josuke’s never shot the bubble, then it wouldn’t exist. However, this gets complicated when you consider the fact that the Go Beyond bubble technically never did exist in the first place, even after Josuke shot it, because it’s outside of logic, and the way we’ve seen return to zero work is that it activates right before an attack lands, not before the attack was thrown (King Crimson’s punches were thrown, they just stopped right in front of Giorno), so logically the ability would only activate right before the bubble hit Giorno, not before Josuke shot it. And keep in mind that all of this is assuming that the ability would even activate against something that technically doesn’t exist in the first place. Overall, return to zero probably wouldn’t work against Go Beyond, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that Giorno would lose against Josuke, because GER still has GE’s life giving ability, and it probably got even stronger, so it is still a very interesting fight
I don’t know about that, just because it’s outside logic doesn’t mean it’s unbeatable. Giorno don’t even know the extend of his own power, everything just resets to 0 and that will not change unless araki make a canon version of the world over heaven. You simply cannot beat something that negates you endlessly
GER would just abuse his Life giver ability and place a frog infront of Soft and WET GB. Best case Josuke dies and they dodge surviving. Worst Case everyone dies.
Giorno power could just be nothing is able to hurt him it’s just we see it for only a few panels And also ,if the bubble isn’t there,how do you block it? So it’s a 50/50 tbh
Congrats you've officially made Soft & Wet my favorite JoJo stand. Not because it's insanely strong but because I just think the design of it and it's ability are absolutely awesome✨ also u did a brilliant job of explaining things and I found this video very entertaining. Ur content is fantastic keep up the good work sir :) 👍
the panel at 7:30 is definitley a shueisha coloring error, and the explosion is supposed to just be a cloud of dust/debris shooting out behind solati do along with the rest of the bubbles. the reason that josuke is able to use s&w to blow the two enemies up at the end of the fight is because his bubbles are filled with gasoline and mamezuku throws him a lighter, josuke can't make explosions on his own.
gappy still has much more room to develop with spin, he was able to to have debatably the most overpowered stand with only the basic level of spin, just imagine his power with lesson 5
@organicelephant5416 just imagine a bubble that defies all natural laws of physics and spins infinitely, the result is a bubble that creates infinite amounts of energy that also deletes everything it touches. Think of a miniature remote controlled version of vanilla ice's stand, cream. It could also make the cells inside whatever it touches spin infinitely.
Josuke can't aim the Go Beyond bubbles, Go Beyond Bubbles properties as non-existant don'y extend to Josuke or Soft and Wet itself, and they don't even one shot so unless he gets lucky he's getting massacred by all of the top tier, if he's on his own
EXACTLY. I hate how this video acts like all there is to compare is the stands on their own as if they aren’t tied to users. Go beyond is just the perfect way to beat wonder of U specifically
The problem is the range and the bubble moving too slow. Yes it can't be seen but also can't be controlled. It doesn't necessarily one shot ability but it's definitely on the top of the list imo
I think my only argument for GER still being the strongest is that Go Beyond still has a activation point. Josuke still has to choose to use Go Beyond. GER’s main purpose is to stop that kind of thing from beginning in the first place. “I skip time”, no you don’t. “I use Go Beyond”, no you don’t. That’s the main thing I can think of. That’s not from a passionate perspective that’s just from reading how each ability works and taking what is shown in each part at the value of what Araki is telling us.
@@bowldawg4394 yeah i guess but it is technically not in this reality so if he doesnt have the intent for the action i dont think hed kill him if he doesnt have the intent
@@bowldawg4394 Even with an activation point, it still doesnt exist within the reality. Once gappy shot the bubble it automatically stops existing only thing GER could do is revert gappy's movement but the bubble would still be going towards GER since it doesnt exist
To my understanding its the bubbles produced by soft and wet go beyond that defy logic not necessarily josuke himself or soft and wet. So in theory, time stop could work against soft and wet and josuke just not the attacks it produces. may be similar to the situation with deigo TW vs johnny
Next strongest stand will have powers of nullification. Hear me out on this. If you went against an enemy who can nullify existence on even a remotely small scale, you'd go against some sort of mystical black hole. Some sort of ordinary guy like Yoshikage Kira who was just messed with for too long and who breaks and nullifies all that is good in him. Basicaly Plunder on Steroids and Meth. And of course this adds up to Wonder of You Logic based attack scheme. You'd probably have to have a character who is the exact opposite like creation itself which is chaotic by nature. I am kinda mashing ideas together for possibly even writing a story for my gf and her manga 🤷♂️😄
@@ProjektTaku thank you. In my creation I regularly take inspiration from manga and anime. And this might be the next step for Araki but he will probably pen something really amazing either way.
Go beyond seems to "plunder" concepts in my opinion. He took away calamity that was affecting the family. After a while, could be seconds or centuries, calamity is released back into the world without bias. Calamity will be plundered of Toruu's influence (this one for good) going back to a truly unbiased concept. A dual plunder.
That's likely what it is. It """s t e a l s""" concepts from the immediate area. The problem is that, just like with S&W regular, you can't just keep it. It goes back to where it was eventually.
I must say. This was great to watch. The way you explained everything without leaving out anything, was very good... And since I'm not yet done with part 8 all because I was waiting for the part 9 announcement (didn't want to finish and have no more JoJo to read 😞) I can tell this video was a go finish up part 8 to me. Now I'm fired up not just because of the power but because now I'll understand it once I continue 😅... Nice video... I am obligated to sub because of how well you explain stuff
That video is interesting Like after the video I would say that like GER or Soft and Wet are one of the strongest stands like that is now debateable because GER is "untouchable" and Soft and Wet is apparently just inlogical in universe (or like it can attack with an attack which doesn't exist, I guess) So that would be a really interesting match up Edit: To place my standpoint due to an argument: In my opinion GER will PROBABLY still win because I can't imagine that an protagonist will obliterate someone (in this case with plunder, just removing the brain, heart or skin) or rather the only one I can think of would be Giorno because GER works on it's own (too some extent and not like Star Platinum) But back to the thing of "probably win": GER can nullify any harm too Giorno (so to defeat him you would need to one shot him which is nearly impossible) so the attack of Soft and Wet will hit Giorno but probably won't kill him so he'll win in this situation So only a battle without information about the opponent GER will win but if only Josuke knows about the abilities of GER he is going to win and nothing can change that So to make sure that Josuke wins he would needs to know about every ability of GER and Giorno is not allowed to know anything about Soft and Wet any other thing would probably be a 50/50 situation, I guess? So the conclusion: GER will probably win but it depends how much Josuke knows about GER
@@OGking831 no because the attack doesnt exist, getting rid of the cause does nothing, because it was never anything to begin with, it surpasses logic, which ger uses to activate its ability, ger uses the logic that without cause there is no effect, but go beyond surpasses both.
@@dattos140 this is false because GER manipulates both things at once not just one thing. Therefore to say it's logical would be disingenuous to what it's shown about his ability. In fact soft and wet attacks are in fact in the range GER because it's based on "cause and effect". Btw new Jojo verse are completely bound by time. Compared to the previous universe, GER is transcendental stand that goes beyond time and fate
Here's the thing, while the go-beyond bubbles are certainly "hax-proof" in that, because of their extra-dimensional nature, you can't do anything to the bubble but the bubble can do things to you, no amount of shenanigans will prevent you from getting bubbled short of just, avoiding the bubble, since the bubbled did need yasuho to guide them. But, whats the actual attack potency of the bubbles? They're basically "just" an unblockable gun really. Yeah, a headshot with them will kill pretty much anything that would die to a headshot, but, thats kind of ALL they are. Star platinum can destroy a lot more things, and much more DURABLE things, much faster than S&W, just see the high priestess teeth-breaking scene. Weather report could also straight up just, throw around hurricanes if he wanted to. Regular gold experience could probably just, create a billion lions if Giorno felt like it, especially if arrow-boosted. Gas up Go Beyond all you want, but, its a fairly 'localized' effect. We aren't even sure how 'revert to zero' would interact with go beyond in practice in much the same way that we don't know how king crimson's time skip would interact with time stop. does making the bubble not be fired make it not exist or does it just, exist anyways? heck, would MANDOM make the bubbles be un-fired? We just don't know. in a way it is un-knowable, because these are all abilities that operate entirely outside the bounds of physics as we understand them to such an extent that we would need Araki to answer it. Ultimately it comes down to what DIO said in part six about "strongest stand" in a way. Who would win between Giorno and Josuk8? Its whoever attacks first. Go beyond has no defenses, but also just ignores pretty much every defense. If anything I'm inclined to say that King Crimson of all things can beat Go Beyond because Diavolo could just... use epitath to see which way the bubble would go, and then use time skip pre-emptively to just, *not* be in the trajectory of it, before one-shot'ing Josuke from behind. sure, the bubble probably WOULD invade and still hit him in skipped time if he activated time skip AFTER it was fired because he'd be too slow to get out of the way, but if the bubble passes through points A, B, and C, and he's never in any of those points while the bubble is there, because he knew thats where it would be fired ahead of time, and used time skip to lock that firing trajectory in place and deny josuke the chance to adjust, then yeah he dodges and then scores the kill. Ironic then that King Crimson, used properly, can beat one of the few things that are able to beat the very thing king crimson lost to, but thats just how it goes in JoJos. An ability is only as good as the user is able to apply use it.
@@TheWarlordShogunWould he be able to see that, is the question. Go Beyond's bubbles do not exist, so would his prediction even be able to factor in their existence? I wonder if he'd use Epitaph and just see nothing, before getting bodied by an invisible bubble outta nowhere
I do consider Corpse Part stands to also transcend logic in a sense because they are for all intents and purposes miracles. Though for a fact I'd say Tusk, Ball Breaker, and D.4.C. Love Train are because they are miraculous, and by the very way miracles work they are illogical and do not follow the rules of logic or reality so I put Soft and Wet alongside them. But that's my own opinion.
I completely agree with your theory that the corpse parts (and their stand by products) are miraculous and could stand up to Wonder of U. Perhaps because Johnny used TUSK4 and the corpse parts on a product of WOU’s calamity (the curse) and not WOU itself it allowed calamity to take its course and reflect bad luck back onto Johnny “miraculously” ( as the corpse parts have the power to perform miracles)
To simplify Go Beyond it's an ability that transcends logic itself whereas every other Stand ability in all of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure operates under some kind of logic, essentially Go Beyond wins against every other Stand because it just does, it's literally that old King Crimson meme of "it just works" it just wins.
Operating beyond logic means the user, a logic and reality based being, won’t be able to influence it once the attack is initiated. Otherwise it is bound by reality to at least a certain degree and therefore not unbeatable. But if the user can’t control it, then it again is not unbeatable. So he really doesn’t just auto win. Against a lot of opponents really, unless something assists with aiming like paisley park.
@@Rl55322 I'm pretty sure its implied that Josuke only needed Paisley Park to help aim because he's never deliberately used Go Beyond before and isn't practiced enough to aim well on his own and not that Josuke can't aim it on his own at all
Well, this depends on what you mean by most powerful. I don't think S&W:GB can win the most battles, but I think it has the single most potent and unstoppable attack in the series.
This is the best way to put it. Wonder of U has the strongest defense in the series (technically or GER if you prefer) but the strongest offense goes to S&W:GB. "You can't hurt me." versus "You better fucking dodge or that's GG."
I have often wondered if Cream could beat Wonder of U Being basically the same a go beyond bubble when in the void state, basically non existant as its essentially a zero dimensional point, a hole in the universe, beyond logic? Even if calamity tried to act on it would it even do anything when in that state?
It still exists as a "hole", which logically means it leads somewhere. Go Beyond isn't a hole, it's nothing, yet it hits with the power to kill. Cream would still be affected by Calamity, as WoU can control Stand effects to cause Calamities, as seen when it uses Josuk8's bubbles to kill Mamezuku. It could control the Void and place it in such a way that it can't reach Tooru without Vanilla Ice looking around, and the moment his head's exposed, something Stand related would fly into Cream's mouth like the rapier of Silver Chariot and destroy Vanilla Ice's brain, incapacitating him until the sun rises and destroys him.
Vanilla Ice mentioned that the hole leads somewhere, but he doesn’t know where You are wrong when you say the things that go inside the void of cream go non existent
Cream can't delete logic itself, so no. The only stands that could defeat WoU other than S&W GB would be ones that could set a trap for it, like Killer Queen. Because if you ever attack or pursue the Tooru directly, yer screwed, and even if he dies WoU is still coming after you for the rest of your life. The only way to win would be to trick Tooru into a trap that he activates himself.
Meanwhile, I'm just sitting over in the corner, learning a bit more about random stands, and finding I am liking Weather Report more and more simply cause of that flying scene in part 6 :V
Okay there he is, Tooru. I'm gonna shoot him. Wait a minute, a leaf coming toward my finger?! Theres no way it avoids me from shooting Tooru, like cut my finger, RIGHT? Hahaha

@@dangerousdays2052 GER is a passive ability that not even Giorno knows, it's an automatic ability, giorno can only use the normale Gold Experience powers, GER activates only if Giorno is going to receive any kind of harm
Summing up the strongest stands SCR: the good ok switcharoo GER: it’s rewind time D4C:LT: this wall tastes like alternate dimensions MIH: i am speed TA4: the refrigerator is *COMING FOR YOU* WOU: stubbing your toe never hit the same Go Beyond: you dropped all of the goddamn soap TWOH: fuck your ability, I’m goddamn Jesus Christ
To summarize and simplify. Jouske's bubbles exist in this reality that you and I are in. And so if one of his bubbles comes in contact with the paper page containing Wonder of U. That ruins the page. That destroys Wonder of U. 17:42 In my example a real life bubble would definitely have the same effect on GR or any characters in the series. In the multitudes of copies purchased or sold of this series. Someone somewhere has ruined their book with some soda accident or SOMETHING else influenced by bubbles. So by that logic Go Beyond beats itself. I base this off Grant Morrison's concepts of 5th dimensional beings in their writings.
@@victoroliveira3577 yeah most of them caps at large town level (around 7c) even for stand like Star Platinum and Soft & Wet.. I can't think of a stand that actually is able to fight higher-tier characters without hax.
@@victoroliveira3577 yeah, GER is the best example of this since you need to scale to a higher level of infinity or have Causality Manipulation Negation to beat it even if you scale higher than it's measly AP.
Honestly its hard to decide if its strongest or second strongest. There is a good chance that goes beyond could indeed go beyond the fate that protect ger and be able to harm giorno. If that was possible it would definitely be the strongest. If not then ger would remain at the top.
I’d say Wonder of U is the strongest as everything you do needs logic or Causality, the only attack that can hurt him is something that doesn’t follow the idea of logic and the attack must to simply put it not exist. Soft and wet go beyond has that specific power
I'm not really convinced by this video. What I'd like to point out is that Soft & Wet Go Beyond's bubbles can cross any layer of existence and reality, that's true, but their destructive power in itself is not out of this world, they managed to kill Wonder of U because WoU is not really known for its resistance to physical damage (I mean, why would it need any lol). What I'm trying to say is that Go Beyond can counter any reality-warping ability we've seen so far and can not be deflected in any way, but against characters with brutal strength and resistance, like Dio or Kars, Josuke wouldn't really have any chance of winning, because he lacks basic power. Go Beyond is just the perfect counter for WoU, but this doesn't mean the situation would be the same for every other character. In conclusion: Go Beyond is the strongest reality-warping ability in JoJo, but it is not even remotely the strongest stand as a whole.
"Behold my ultimate move, Nonsense!" A great Idea for a main JoJo villian would be finding out the most seemingly weak, useless stand power and somehow using it so expertly to be the top dog and go unnoticed. Not something OP or made up or just illogical, just a villian using a shitty power really really really well.
I just finished part 8 and my only question is that Soft and Wet the stand is not illogical, just his one attack is. It is also stated that he can't really control it either. So wouldn't GER, while being logical, still beat josuke since there is a chance his attack doesnt come out or he doesn't kill with the first shot?
I'd like to point out that Johnny did not "fail" at removing the rock disease from his family. Him removing it was why none of the Joestars, only the Higashikatas had the disease.
I agree that maybe GR is outdated in some way, but my thinking is that maybe wonder of u just made this extreme caveat that could only be overcome by a super specific ability description that only works on wonder of u. the bubbles not existing within logic is pretty crazy, but i still think GR scales over them because even though they don't exist, josuke still expects them to work in his mind meaning that there is a metaphysical reality where GR is more powerful than the bubbles from soft and wet imo. Leave it to Araki to make us fans debate theoretical quantum physics XD
There is actually something left unspoken regarding GER because of how minimally it is featured compared to other super-powerful abilities in the series (which often have multiple chapters dedicated to them, while GER is quite literally there for 1 scene and then gone forever). Technically its ability was also described as "defying logic" by making it so that there is no effect to a cause, and if you go off that then it's pretty much the only outright logic-defying Stand in the series before Go Beyond, so I find that particular comparison hard to make because of how little it was actually featured and never actually explored. But that's probably why it remains such a favored topic of conversation in the fanbase, because it's basically a blank page which is nothing but grounds for speculation.
Wonder of U objectively places all of reality into the domain of it's attacks while at the same time preempting abilities like GER because it activates as soon as your enemy is even aware of it's existence. Soft & Wet Go Beyond counters this by having an attack with the property that it "does not exist" neither in reality or in imagination, and it maintains that property that it does not exist while traveling through reality towards it's target. Wonder Of U is at least as powerful as every stand that has come before it, and is most likely more powerful. Soft & Wet Go Beyond can defeat any other stand with it's attack that "does not exist" as that attack can not be defended against even by stands like The Hand which would be able to erase anything within the domain of reality.
i was thinking about this. Originally i thought that ticket to ride was the strongest stand because to summarise it its just plot armour. Go beyond breaks logic and can go though literally plot armour so wow W josuke
Soft & Wet Go Beyond is a walking win button. As long as the concept of "winning" exists, it will win. It's literally the power of miracles as an illogical event. Josuke could shoot himself with it and the shot would travel back to damage the adversary.
@@Doflaminguard bro did you see pucci during part 6? I don’t think he cares about walking lmao also made in heaven DOES control gravity still so pucci could just levitate, it could also be used to accelerate aging as shown earlier in part 6 when a ladies nails grew iirc
Wonder of U: "You can't approach me. I have a restraining order on you, pursuing me is against the law." S&W GB: "I AM the law, and your restraining order has just been revoked." Wonder of U: 💀
I think wou and ger would be a stale mate cause the calamities would just keep being reset and after giorno kills tooru calamity coming back would be reset infinitely but soft n wet go beyond being stronger is valid

And before anybody asks, yes he does beat the world over heaven, my editor forgot to put it in the video!!!!
HE STILL OPERATES UNDER LOGIC!!!!
Over all (including Non-Canon), S&W: Go Beyond would probably still not be able to defeat the Beyond Users from Jorge Joestar seeing that those guys get their Power from Meta-Fictional Writer who is above the whole JoJo Multiverse and views it as their own Fiction (being an infinite level Higher than Josuke), with there being statments that "The Only Thing that could beat a Beyond User is a Beyond User" (albeit this could be in question, due to Jorge Joestar coming out before S&W GB)
So, DIO is stronger than Josuke but not with The World Over Heaven.
@@LunarianRhapsody one day I will cover that book and it’s sins
Imma be honest: you kinda just assumed a ton of stuff here. For example: you just assumed that part 8 killer queen scales to part 4 killer queen and thereby is ftl. However, if that isnt true then i dont think p8 kq has any ftl feats itself.
Also, didnt tooru tank multiple go beyond bubbles and was still able to nearly perform a rokakaka exchange? Wouldnt that thereby imply that the explosions of the bubbles are really not that strong and therefore Dio over heaven could just heal after he gets hit?
Thank you for answering that question. I was still wondering about that.
Also, isnt go beyond technically a paradox? Since not having logic is the logic of how the stand works?
Edit: also, how would the bubbles being 5th dimensional give them immesurable speed? By that logic, king crimson and ger should be at immesurable speed.

So Soft and Wet cheats the system by being two concepts at the same time, ruling out logic because finite can’t be infinite:

It’s power is to delete things like curses, that the Jojo universe considers inescapable law.

I honestly doubt that. If anything, araki will probably make an even more powerful stand then any we have ever seen just because

I feel like that was the idea for first half of DiU, most of the stands in the firdt half were weak as hell however used relatively smartly (Exceptions are The Hand and Crazy Diamond), however at 2nd half, yeah, it just goes crazy
Like part 4 did, it was still cool but jotaro scaled above all the characters there
Idk. Technically speaking Araki already scaled down the direct stakes in part 8 when compared to part 9, so if Araki follows a pattern that means that the direct scale would be so minuscule but the underlying impact would be astronomical.

When it comes to the idea of strongest stands I've come to accept what Dio told pucci when explaining survivor. There isn't one because the stand power itself is subjective to the user and how it's implemented. Some good examples of the "strongest stands" that have huge limitations based on the users own capabilities are numerous. The hand, thoth, Purple Haze and the list goes on and on. Power In Jojo is such a complicated thing because a stand is limited to the user. For example a superspeed stand would be pointless on a person who can't walk unless they had the acumen to overcome this. It's such an interesting power system when you take the time to look at it
Was literally just thinking this. Go Beyond is kind of just a glorified beam when you think about it. It still has to be manually aimed and fired at a target. Any stand that is simply moving faster than it (Made in Heaven) or could find a way to disorient Josuke enough to fuck up his shot (perhaps something like Wekapipo's steel ball technique) could render him useless. Even a quick enough kill in time stop before he fires it off could counter him.
I feel like the aim of this video is "Well S&WGB > WoU, therefore S&WGB > everything else" and that's just not correct. The reason that WoU is so strong IS because he is an innate counter to any attack (strongest defense is the strongest offense.) It's not just because Araki said so. S&WGB was pretty much designed just to counter WoU, which is part of the reason why I kind of hate it being introduced.

This video was honestly worth the wait Metas. Hope you have a good December.
There has been a recurring power scaling pattern I’ve noticed in jojo, and it’s that in every part an entity would always surpass the power of the previous part. Wether in one situation or another. (Spoiler warning)
-Phantom Blood is the base, and it’s strongest powers consisted of Hamon and Vampiric powers.
-Battle Tendency’s strongest power had to be the ultimate life form Kars, where he had the capacity to surpass the abilities of Part 1
-Stardust Crusaders’ strongest power was Time stopping, which would likely beat Kars because all life exists in the domain of time. Time reigns over it.
-Diamond is Unbreakable’s strongest power was temporarily Bites the dust. Even though the Motion gang were able to beat Kira, if it weren’t for hayato’s plan then part 4 would end in a tragedy where the time loops would continue forever. Only by that point , we realize that fate transcends time.
-Golden Wind revolves around the powers of fate, and the strongest stands there were GER followed by King Crimson. Even though one can escape their current situation, your fate is always inevitable in the end. (Example is the infinite death loop) This concludes Fate can be one of the strongest forces out there.
-Stone Ocean had Pucci wielding a very strong stand being Made in heaven. Even though GER can be considered stronger than MIH in a 1v1, fate can only go so far as it can sometimes be abstract. Pucci was able to reset the original universe due to his control of doing so, he had the power to speed up and restart the universe due to his infinite speed. He did die to Emporio, which was his fate so fate is still on par I guess, yet fate is doing it’s work in the domain of a universe.
-Steel Ball Run had very powerful abilities, those being the infinite rotation and D4C’s complicated ability regarding alternate universes. D4C had control over many universes, and he could switch in and out of any universe he wanted. But, he was defeated because the infinite rotation allowed an entity to constantly spin without obstruction, essentially spinning infinitely. That infinity followed valentine to multiple universes and sealed his fate.
-Jojolion’s strongest powers were the Wonder of U’s calamity and Soft and Wet Go beyond. Wonder of U now wasn’t just a stand, it was a concept that was godlike. As shown by the video it absolutely can transcend, grounded abilities, advanced grounded abilities, time and space, fate, and universes/realities. It abided by logic, and was a concept or inevitability that conquered all but not Soft and Wet Go beyond. It really went beyond, beyond logic itself-as it was essentially nothing.
Mankind’s natural ability
Wouldn't it be interesting if araki made a part where the stands are just overall weaker.
Making a more grounded down part
I think the only "logical" conclusion will be that the last "strongest stand" will be a total 4th wall break, essentially allowing the User to escape/influence their medium (manga).
So basically deadpool
@lorddarki9936 and yet they wouldn't as well, they would just still exist in the manga only we are beyond the standsn
@@theenderdestruction2362imagine if araki went "fuck it" made the stand as one of those pop-up book thing
@@vatsalsrivastav5195 Jojolands seems to be it, no stand there feels busted or even some managing to break peak.
Soft and Wet was already busted at introduction and by the time we realized Tusk evolved, it was already getting crazy.
November rain doesn't feel like much.
Just a correction: I believe Josuke is actually Kira's body with Josefumi parts, because if you pay attention to the way the new Rokkakaka works, that's the only possible scenario. It would also explain how Josuke awoke wearing Kira's hat and how Kira's clothes are a perfect match for him.
That is actually pertty good thorey but
They letrally found kira's body and identfied him as kira and he even lost his ball to josuke 😂😂😂
Well kinda spoilers here from the manga what baisicly happened is because if a fruit josefumi and kira merged into a brand new being eith no memories and the parts that didnt need cause kira was casually at the verge of death so josefumi tried to feed him the fruit that i dont remember its name but it works on equal exchange and when tried to do that the ground like sifted cause of an earthquake and they fell in so the equal exchange that hapenned was to basically a brand new being to be created thats why josuke has 4 balls and etc. ( corection its later revealed that ussing his stand power josefumi tried to replicate the fruit but it ended up being a more powerl full one that when the user eats it the personal he touches they switch their parts like for example if someone doesnt have am arm and eats that fruit and touches a person then he is gonna transfer the other person's arm to him but the other person would lose their arm. So when the ground shifted josefumi touched the in verge of death kira and they switched so many body parts that created a new human being that was half kira and half josefumi)
"Calamity" is the basis of the entire Joestar curse from parts 1-6 and it followed them as a metaphysical manifestation, in Wonder of U, to an ALTERNATE REALITY.
I don't think so
No. Araki made it up to not be criticized as a writer. It's dumb and part 8 is dumb

in the context of the Single Shot Theory, which essentially (roughly, its been a hot minute) posits that even though the manifestation of Tusk was defeated when Johnny was shot, its infinity continued without the physical binds to influence things into creating a stand that could defeat its target (you know, how Tusk always reaches its target but stretched to the extreme), this comes off as even more terrifying
So in layman's terms:
GER tells you "Not funny, didn't happen."
But Soft and Wet Go Beyond says "Yes it did happen, and it's hilarious."
More like, "Your right, nothing did happen, except it did."
It both happened and didnt happen.
I think wonder if u can beat GER
@@kyeda Where is it stated ger can nullify intent? Diavolo DEFINITLY still wanted to kill giorno, he was just freaked out, so I don't think ger can do that.
Also, im not arguing that ger couldn't beat josuke, he could, josuke might not even HIT ger or giorno, since he can't aim go beyond's bubble, I'm just arguing, that if for whatever reason, ger LET him use go beyond, no one, not even josuke or ger, could stop the bubble.
Yes S&W:GB is a troll
@@dattos140 The main issue Go Beyond would run into is that the source of whatever causes Giorno to die would get reset back to a state where it wouldn’t, like I have basically zero doubt that Josuke even attempting to aim his bubble would trigger GER into removing the action, because that’s the inciting insider which would’ve led to Giorno dying…
I would argue that D4C: LT cancels out WoU as long as he's inside is barrier. He's kind of the immovable object to WoU's unstoppable force. WoU is misfortune while D4C: LT is a misfortune redirecter. Either way, there is very little to no way D4C: LT is defeating WoU
So basically they both neither win or lose they’d just stand there menacingly
@@GayForklift Yeah, like whatever misfortune is thrown at D4C:LT will just be thrown into an alternative dimension like in part 7. So the misfortune does happen, but to everyone else than Valentine
Lmao so basically they can't hit each other? WoU attacks can't enter love train and if D4C even gets out of love traij to hit WoU then he would be hit by calamity so basically a staring contest
I haven't read anything past the end of Jolyne but from what I gather from the video is this : WoU would supercede Love Train due to infinite calamity, there could only be a set amount of things that could be redirected untill there was nothing left. WoU beats all but S&W.
and tusk act 4 could bypass the misfortune but not the calamity, weird but johnny should have tried harder.
i have to have huge respect to this video, as it completely explains how stands and the times are.
Funniest thing is alot of the strongest stand contenders might actually lose to silver chariot requiem which I guess makes it the strongest "anti stand" stand or just give it its own category of weirdess. Which goes with the general theme around SCR all things considered.
Now THAT is a good debate. Soft and wet: go bullshit vs silver chariot requiem.

@@ericsbuds im pretty sure that would kill you
@@ericsbuds that because the user died during the process of requiem meaning it's complete and someone need to replace to user to project it which is everyone else if it is complete the light behind wouldn't even exist and the cr use ability would be absolute control of spirit and biology

Imagine getting a stand, and being like “cool so this gives me magic powers?” But than you get something like beach boy but than theres people getting time manipulation, power of calamity, moving between dimensions, simulating infinite deaths on your enemy, and be able to create infinity like tf are you gonna do in that world at that point
Ay, beach boy is cool tho
Beach boy is a decent stand. Cheap trick on the other hand....
Trying to explain jojolion is just type of conversation that's ends with ,,and why are you screeming at me"
LMAO
The problem with Jojo power scaling is Jojo fights function as a "action sequences", like it base the personality of the user and thier understand of things alot, but there's a gap above (around the time manipulation area) where you're stand becomes completely overpowered that no plays can damage you in any sense.
Now the reason Soft and Wet is not fightingly the strongest becomes it lacks protection, it doesn't have the concept of "unbeatable defence" making the strongest stand can be able to get beaten by even Sliver Chariot
True but since his bubbles don’t exist there speed can’t be scaled so theoretically he is really hard to beat

Great points, but I had so many years of powerscaling experience and need to point out the problem that many powerscalers had, even in death battle communities: people often took things way too literally and ended up interpreting characters way more powerfully than they actually are. Theories here presents a lot of reach and cope, in convincing that something is so OP and broken beyond what they actually are. I see this in so many shonen anime fandoms already.

*touch grass bro*
@@tuppiee1752 you realize powerscalling is a passive thing right? That's basically like saying touch grass to a person who drinks water.
Concept of spin that we know about from Steel Ball Run IS some of the Jousuke's soap bubbles. As Rai said, among normal soap bubbles, which can absorb both small and decent-sized objects (e.g. berries and even people), there are also soap bubbles that are made of a thin string, that is spinning rapidly. This rapidly spinning line forms object which shape resembles normal soap bubble. And since this is NOT soap bubble, but spinning thread, those soap bubbles are nothing, but rotation itself. So, yeah Statement that there's no spin in JojoLion is pretty wrong. (sorry for my English)
Part 6 was when the stand power creep started to *spiral* (ha ha) out of control, but with Wonder of U and SaWGB, I think we’ve reached the pinnacle of lunacy.
it’s funny that he started the reboot universe partially to fix the power creep and now here we are again xD
JoJo's Overpowered Adventures
Ngl i'd rather have a stand that's bizarre but interesting and balanced instead of an overpowered god level stand.
@@victorjun2421 I kinda like the really busted and bizarre stands
Power creep isnt too much of a problem in jojos because theres new characters every part, so Araki has the freedom to go fucking crazy
@@shill2920 I don’t see it that way. It doesn’t matter if the next part has different characters. In order for any series to up the ante, it has to introduce characters with even crazier powers. Do you remember when stopping time seemed like the most overpowered ability? And then the series just kept going, progressively introducing new characters with stronger powers in every part after. So the power creep just keeps going up higher and higher.
But let’s say part 9 doesn’t end nearly as crazy. On one hand you run the risk of disappointing fans for not being able to live up to the already near-impossible expectations of part 8; on the other hand, even though Josuke/Gappy, isn’t there, he probably still exists, which kind of eliminates all stakes from the plot. It’s the reason why you see so many fan animations putting Giorno in part 6.
Reading Jojolion didn't make me really realize just how broken S&W and Wonder of you are, I could recognize that wonder if you was pretty broken but still thought stuff like d4c love train would be stronger and Tusk act 4 would be the strongest (yes I think it's stronger than GER), but when you put it into the actual context of the Jojo verse and logic as a concept, S&W go beyond and a Wonder of U above everything. I do think you're doing the right thing because the Jojo fandom as a collective has to realize that GER isn't absolutely anymore because time exists and so does araki evolving as a person with new ideas, which naturally means his writing evolves and changes, so do stands and their context with the world and their strength.
The way he uses and defines logic is utterly terrifying and S&W go beyond transcending that should make it definitively THE strongest stand as of part 8

@@_Rndom me when his points are all shit:

I love how JoJo went from "I can breathe well and punch like a star" to "i am worthy, my power will be present until the end of the universe"
The best argument that you can make for GER using return to zero on Go Beyond is that it would return Josuke’s intention of shooting the Go Beyond bubble, rather than returning the Go Beyond bubble itself, because if Josuke’s never shot the bubble, then it wouldn’t exist. However, this gets complicated when you consider the fact that the Go Beyond bubble technically never did exist in the first place, even after Josuke shot it, because it’s outside of logic, and the way we’ve seen return to zero work is that it activates right before an attack lands, not before the attack was thrown (King Crimson’s punches were thrown, they just stopped right in front of Giorno), so logically the ability would only activate right before the bubble hit Giorno, not before Josuke shot it. And keep in mind that all of this is assuming that the ability would even activate against something that technically doesn’t exist in the first place. Overall, return to zero probably wouldn’t work against Go Beyond, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that Giorno would lose against Josuke, because GER still has GE’s life giving ability, and it probably got even stronger, so it is still a very interesting fight
Its an actual fight where Giorno will actually have to fight for his life.
I don’t know about that, just because it’s outside logic doesn’t mean it’s unbeatable. Giorno don’t even know the extend of his own power, everything just resets to 0 and that will not change unless araki make a canon version of the world over heaven. You simply cannot beat something that negates you endlessly
GER would just abuse his Life giver ability and place a frog infront of Soft and WET GB.
Best case Josuke dies and they dodge surviving.
Worst Case everyone dies.
Giorno power could just be nothing is able to hurt him it’s just we see it for only a few panels
And also ,if the bubble isn’t there,how do you block it?
So it’s a 50/50 tbh
@@cobylin9192funny part, you don't block it
Congrats you've officially made Soft & Wet my favorite JoJo stand.

Ur content is fantastic keep up the good work sir :) 👍
Appreciate the Nujabes in the Background, much love
the panel at 7:30 is definitley a shueisha coloring error, and the explosion is supposed to just be a cloud of dust/debris shooting out behind solati do along with the rest of the bubbles. the reason that josuke is able to use s&w to blow the two enemies up at the end of the fight is because his bubbles are filled with gasoline and mamezuku throws him a lighter, josuke can't make explosions on his own.
thanks
but kira could.
The official colouring of Jojolion is awful
@@deuce5546 soft and wets coloring is great tho (although would've preferred it having crazy diamond colors).
Not just that, CD was stated by Josuke to be able to fight at a speed of 300Km/h, not light speed. The scale this guy uses is terribly off.
gappy still has much more room to develop with spin, he was able to to have debatably the most overpowered stand with only the basic level of spin, just imagine his power with lesson 5
@organicelephant5416 just imagine a bubble that defies all natural laws of physics and spins infinitely, the result is a bubble that creates infinite amounts of energy that also deletes everything it touches. Think of a miniature remote controlled version of vanilla ice's stand, cream. It could also make the cells inside whatever it touches spin infinitely.
@@GrantJmima creating "Black Hole" bubbles with that infinte energy? I'm in
Josuke can't aim the Go Beyond bubbles, Go Beyond Bubbles properties as non-existant don'y extend to Josuke or Soft and Wet itself, and they don't even one shot
so unless he gets lucky he's getting massacred by all of the top tier, if he's on his own
EXACTLY. I hate how this video acts like all there is to compare is the stands on their own as if they aren’t tied to users. Go beyond is just the perfect way to beat wonder of U specifically
@@jackthekoro1102yeah hes overhyped
The problem is the range and the bubble moving too slow. Yes it can't be seen but also can't be controlled. It doesn't necessarily one shot ability but it's definitely on the top of the list imo
As someone who's only a casual JoJo's fan, what the fuck?
I would pin this, but I have arguments on my pinned comment LMAO
I think my only argument for GER still being the strongest is that Go Beyond still has a activation point. Josuke still has to choose to use Go Beyond. GER’s main purpose is to stop that kind of thing from beginning in the first place. “I skip time”, no you don’t. “I use Go Beyond”, no you don’t. That’s the main thing I can think of. That’s not from a passionate perspective that’s just from reading how each ability works and taking what is shown in each part at the value of what Araki is telling us.
I think its like that
BUT if he happens to summon it just to test it out and it JUST SO HAPPENS to touch him
hes fucking dead
GER's ability *is* to revert actions to zero, so GER very well could revert Josuke's attempt at using Go Beyond
@@bowldawg4394 yeah i guess but it is technically not in this reality
so if he doesnt have the intent for the action i dont think hed kill him if he doesnt have the intent
@@bowldawg4394 Even with an activation point, it still doesnt exist within the reality. Once gappy shot the bubble it automatically stops existing only thing GER could do is revert gappy's movement but the bubble would still be going towards GER since it doesnt exist
Yeah you’re right about that
To my understanding its the bubbles produced by soft and wet go beyond that defy logic not necessarily josuke himself or soft and wet. So in theory, time stop could work against soft and wet and josuke just not the attacks it produces. may be similar to the situation with deigo TW vs johnny
Finally was waiting so long for this video.
Next strongest stand will have powers of nullification. Hear me out on this.
If you went against an enemy who can nullify existence on even a remotely small scale, you'd go against some sort of mystical black hole. Some sort of ordinary guy like Yoshikage Kira who was just messed with for too long and who breaks and nullifies all that is good in him. Basicaly Plunder on Steroids and Meth.
And of course this adds up to Wonder of You Logic based attack scheme.
You'd probably have to have a character who is the exact opposite like creation itself which is chaotic by nature.

Go beyond seems to "plunder" concepts in my opinion. He took away calamity that was affecting the family. After a while, could be seconds or centuries, calamity is released back into the world without bias. Calamity will be plundered of Toruu's influence (this one for good) going back to a truly unbiased concept. A dual plunder.
That's likely what it is.
It """s t e a l s""" concepts from the immediate area.
The problem is that, just like with S&W regular, you can't just keep it. It goes back to where it was eventually.

I must say. This was great to watch. The way you explained everything without leaving out anything, was very good... And since I'm not yet done with part 8 all because I was waiting for the part 9 announcement (didn't want to finish and have no more JoJo to read 😞) I can tell this video was a go finish up part 8 to me. Now I'm fired up not just because of the power but because now I'll understand it once I continue 😅...
Nice video... I am obligated to sub because of how well you explain stuff
That video is interesting
Like after the video I would say that like GER or Soft and Wet are one of the strongest stands like that is now debateable because GER is "untouchable" and Soft and Wet is apparently just inlogical in universe (or like it can attack with an attack which doesn't exist, I guess)
So that would be a really interesting match up
Edit:
To place my standpoint due to an argument:
In my opinion GER will PROBABLY still win because I can't imagine that an protagonist will obliterate someone (in this case with plunder, just removing the brain, heart or skin) or rather the only one I can think of would be Giorno because GER works on it's own (too some extent and not like Star Platinum)
But back to the thing of "probably win":
GER can nullify any harm too Giorno (so to defeat him you would need to one shot him which is nearly impossible) so the attack of Soft and Wet will hit Giorno but probably won't kill him so he'll win in this situation
So only a battle without information about the opponent GER will win but if only Josuke knows about the abilities of GER he is going to win and nothing can change that
So to make sure that Josuke wins he would needs to know about every ability of GER and Giorno is not allowed to know anything about Soft and Wet any other thing would probably be a 50/50 situation, I guess?
So the conclusion:
GER will probably win but it depends how much Josuke knows about GER
I think Gappy wins the match up easily, but GER is the stronger stand
See the thing is just the thought of hurt Giorno activates return to zero so it doesn’t matter
GER still beats soft and wet. The attack which soft and wet does has cause and effect
@@OGking831 no because the attack doesnt exist, getting rid of the cause does nothing, because it was never anything to begin with, it surpasses logic, which ger uses to activate its ability, ger uses the logic that without cause there is no effect, but go beyond surpasses both.
@@dattos140 this is false because GER manipulates both things at once not just one thing. Therefore to say it's logical would be disingenuous to what it's shown about his ability.
In fact soft and wet attacks are in fact in the range GER because it's based on "cause and effect". Btw new Jojo verse are completely bound by time. Compared to the previous universe, GER is transcendental stand that goes beyond time and fate
Johnny: My power is everything, it's infinity.
Josuke: My power is absolutely nothing.
Here's the thing, while the go-beyond bubbles are certainly "hax-proof" in that, because of their extra-dimensional nature, you can't do anything to the bubble but the bubble can do things to you, no amount of shenanigans will prevent you from getting bubbled short of just, avoiding the bubble, since the bubbled did need yasuho to guide them.
But, whats the actual attack potency of the bubbles? They're basically "just" an unblockable gun really. Yeah, a headshot with them will kill pretty much anything that would die to a headshot, but, thats kind of ALL they are. Star platinum can destroy a lot more things, and much more DURABLE things, much faster than S&W, just see the high priestess teeth-breaking scene. Weather report could also straight up just, throw around hurricanes if he wanted to. Regular gold experience could probably just, create a billion lions if Giorno felt like it, especially if arrow-boosted. Gas up Go Beyond all you want, but, its a fairly 'localized' effect. We aren't even sure how 'revert to zero' would interact with go beyond in practice in much the same way that we don't know how king crimson's time skip would interact with time stop. does making the bubble not be fired make it not exist or does it just, exist anyways? heck, would MANDOM make the bubbles be un-fired? We just don't know. in a way it is un-knowable, because these are all abilities that operate entirely outside the bounds of physics as we understand them to such an extent that we would need Araki to answer it.
Ultimately it comes down to what DIO said in part six about "strongest stand" in a way. Who would win between Giorno and Josuk8? Its whoever attacks first. Go beyond has no defenses, but also just ignores pretty much every defense. If anything I'm inclined to say that King Crimson of all things can beat Go Beyond because Diavolo could just... use epitath to see which way the bubble would go, and then use time skip pre-emptively to just, *not* be in the trajectory of it, before one-shot'ing Josuke from behind. sure, the bubble probably WOULD invade and still hit him in skipped time if he activated time skip AFTER it was fired because he'd be too slow to get out of the way, but if the bubble passes through points A, B, and C, and he's never in any of those points while the bubble is there, because he knew thats where it would be fired ahead of time, and used time skip to lock that firing trajectory in place and deny josuke the chance to adjust, then yeah he dodges and then scores the kill. Ironic then that King Crimson, used properly, can beat one of the few things that are able to beat the very thing king crimson lost to, but thats just how it goes in JoJos. An ability is only as good as the user is able to apply use it.
go beyond bubbles are invisible, they can't be seen by king crimson
He would still see himself getting capped by the bubble though. He doesn't have to see the bubble. He just has to not be in the spot where he got hit.
@@TheWarlordShogunWould he be able to see that, is the question. Go Beyond's bubbles do not exist, so would his prediction even be able to factor in their existence? I wonder if he'd use Epitaph and just see nothing, before getting bodied by an invisible bubble outta nowhere

i feel like more people are finally interested in JoJolion (my fave part) now that Part 9 has started :))
this just makes me like him even less
I do consider Corpse Part stands to also transcend logic in a sense because they are for all intents and purposes miracles. Though for a fact I'd say Tusk, Ball Breaker, and D.4.C. Love Train are because they are miraculous, and by the very way miracles work they are illogical and do not follow the rules of logic or reality so I put Soft and Wet alongside them. But that's my own opinion.
I completely agree with your theory that the corpse parts (and their stand by products) are miraculous and could stand up to Wonder of U.
Perhaps because Johnny used TUSK4 and the corpse parts on a product of WOU’s calamity (the curse) and not WOU itself it allowed calamity to take its course and reflect bad luck back onto Johnny “miraculously” ( as the corpse parts have the power to perform miracles)
To simplify Go Beyond it's an ability that transcends logic itself whereas every other Stand ability in all of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure operates under some kind of logic, essentially Go Beyond wins against every other Stand because it just does, it's literally that old King Crimson meme of "it just works" it just wins.
“it just works” except… yeah, it actually just works
Except he said he couldn’t aim it at all without paisley park
Operating beyond logic means the user, a logic and reality based being, won’t be able to influence it once the attack is initiated. Otherwise it is bound by reality to at least a certain degree and therefore not unbeatable. But if the user can’t control it, then it again is not unbeatable. So he really doesn’t just auto win. Against a lot of opponents really, unless something assists with aiming like paisley park.
@@Rl55322 I'm pretty sure its implied that Josuke only needed Paisley Park to help aim because he's never deliberately used Go Beyond before and isn't practiced enough to aim well on his own and not that Josuke can't aim it on his own at all

soft and wet is basically the finger that push stop on a radio
I have often wondered if Cream could beat Wonder of U
Being basically the same a go beyond bubble when in the void state, basically non existant as its essentially a zero dimensional point, a hole in the universe, beyond logic?
Even if calamity tried to act on it would it even do anything when in that state?
he doesn't exist in the world so how would go beyond even affect him?
It still exists as a "hole", which logically means it leads somewhere. Go Beyond isn't a hole, it's nothing, yet it hits with the power to kill. Cream would still be affected by Calamity, as WoU can control Stand effects to cause Calamities, as seen when it uses Josuk8's bubbles to kill Mamezuku. It could control the Void and place it in such a way that it can't reach Tooru without Vanilla Ice looking around, and the moment his head's exposed, something Stand related would fly into Cream's mouth like the rapier of Silver Chariot and destroy Vanilla Ice's brain, incapacitating him until the sun rises and destroys him.
Vanilla Ice mentioned that the hole leads somewhere, but he doesn’t know where
You are wrong when you say the things that go inside the void of cream go non existent
@@HalohbotTech but the hole doesn't exist. Its nothing that swallow's everything.
And I doubt tooru's calamity can reach inside a pocket dimension.
Cream can't delete logic itself, so no. The only stands that could defeat WoU other than S&W GB would be ones that could set a trap for it, like Killer Queen. Because if you ever attack or pursue the Tooru directly, yer screwed, and even if he dies WoU is still coming after you for the rest of your life. The only way to win would be to trick Tooru into a trap that he activates himself.

Fun fact Tusk act 4 should also be able to defeat wonder of u because of infinite spin, this is because you can’t say infinity is pursuing you
But you can say Tusk Act 4 or Johnny is.
Well he forgot again
Johnny literally died using Tusk act 4 against calamity.
Okay there he is, Tooru. I'm gonna shoot him. Wait a minute, a leaf coming toward my finger?! Theres no way it avoids me from shooting Tooru, like cut my finger, RIGHT? Hahaha
@@johnlucas2838 I mean, if Tusk is literally ''filled up'' with the infite golden rotation energy, doesn't that mean he is technically safe from the Return to Zero.
GER still the ultimate stand in my heart, with an ultimate defense and immeasurable stats.
GER couldn't stop Made in Heaven though.
@@dangerousdays2052 you think soft and wet could either 💀
@@dangerousdays2052 if giorno was with the part 6 group and were to be attacked then GER would have activated, since Made in Heaven only moved time forward without causing harm to anyone GER didn't have to activate
@@Zer0_.s._ What, was Giorno taking a nap at the time or something? He should have realized there was a problem and fixed it if GER was capable of doing so.
@@dangerousdays2052 GER is a passive ability that not even Giorno knows, it's an automatic ability, giorno can only use the normale Gold Experience powers, GER activates only if Giorno is going to receive any kind of harm
Summing up the strongest stands
SCR: the good ok switcharoo
GER: it’s rewind time
D4C:LT: this wall tastes like alternate dimensions
MIH: i am speed
TA4: the refrigerator is *COMING FOR YOU*
WOU: stubbing your toe never hit the same
Go Beyond: you dropped all of the goddamn soap
TWOH: fuck your ability, I’m goddamn Jesus Christ
To summarize and simplify. Jouske's bubbles exist in this reality that you and I are in. And so if one of his bubbles comes in contact with the paper page containing Wonder of U. That ruins the page. That destroys Wonder of U.
17:42 In my example a real life bubble would definitely have the same effect on GR or any characters in the series. In the multitudes of copies purchased or sold of this series. Someone somewhere has ruined their book with some soda accident or SOMETHING else influenced by bubbles. So by that logic Go Beyond beats itself.
I base this off Grant Morrison's concepts of 5th dimensional beings in their writings.
So to simplify to dummy terms, Josuk8’s bubbles are like real life erasers that affect the plot/manga, breaking the 4th wall entirely.
@@canadianchaos1517 This is golden
keep in mind that most of these abilities are considered to be "hax" in power-scaling
Isn't that just jojo power-scaling in a nutshell, like:
Mostly hax with the occasional absolute power-house
@@victoroliveira3577 yeah most of them caps at large town level (around 7c) even for stand like Star Platinum and Soft & Wet..
I can't think of a stand that actually is able to fight higher-tier characters without hax.
@@0placeholder0 jojo is the definition of: "hax>most of things"
@@victoroliveira3577 yeah, GER is the best example of this since you need to scale to a higher level of infinity or have Causality Manipulation Negation to beat it even if you scale higher than it's measly AP.
It's really nice seeing you have a music taste very similiar as me, crazy to find joey badass and Nujabes in a jojo video
I find soft and wet:go beyond funny because it technically would not be inaccurate to say that Toru was killed by nothing.
Tooru who can solo like 90% of anime verse dies to literally nothing is ironic 💀
Someone somewhere has ruined their copy of the manga by spilling liquid on it, that's probably where the bubbles went
Jojo fans gonna ascend to 5d world in the future if araki keeps doing stuffs like this
Honestly its hard to decide if its strongest or second strongest. There is a good chance that goes beyond could indeed go beyond the fate that protect ger and be able to harm giorno. If that was possible it would definitely be the strongest. If not then ger would remain at the top.
I’d say Wonder of U is the strongest as everything you do needs logic or Causality, the only attack that can hurt him is something that doesn’t follow the idea of logic and the attack must to simply put it not exist. Soft and wet go beyond has that specific power
You all are forgetting that Gappy can’t control/aim the go beyond bubbles 💀
He can sorta aim, just cant control
@@spacecowboy9779 nah
@@raijeki cap 108
He can aim face to face but can not completely control like you said.
I'm not really convinced by this video. What I'd like to point out is that Soft & Wet Go Beyond's bubbles can cross any layer of existence and reality, that's true, but their destructive power in itself is not out of this world, they managed to kill Wonder of U because WoU is not really known for its resistance to physical damage (I mean, why would it need any lol). What I'm trying to say is that Go Beyond can counter any reality-warping ability we've seen so far and can not be deflected in any way, but against characters with brutal strength and resistance, like Dio or Kars, Josuke wouldn't really have any chance of winning, because he lacks basic power. Go Beyond is just the perfect counter for WoU, but this doesn't mean the situation would be the same for every other character. In conclusion: Go Beyond is the strongest reality-warping ability in JoJo, but it is not even remotely the strongest stand as a whole.
"Behold my ultimate move, Nonsense!"
A great Idea for a main JoJo villian would be finding out the most seemingly weak, useless stand power and somehow using it so expertly to be the top dog and go unnoticed. Not something OP or made up or just illogical, just a villian using a shitty power really really really well.
I just finished part 8 and my only question is that Soft and Wet the stand is not illogical, just his one attack is. It is also stated that he can't really control it either. So wouldn't GER, while being logical, still beat josuke since there is a chance his attack doesnt come out or he doesn't kill with the first shot?
You have the most fire background music taste lol
I'd like to point out that Johnny did not "fail" at removing the rock disease from his family. Him removing it was why none of the Joestars, only the Higashikatas had the disease.
I agree that maybe GR is outdated in some way, but my thinking is that maybe wonder of u just made this extreme caveat that could only be overcome by a super specific ability description that only works on wonder of u. the bubbles not existing within logic is pretty crazy, but i still think GR scales over them because even though they don't exist, josuke still expects them to work in his mind meaning that there is a metaphysical reality where GR is more powerful than the bubbles from soft and wet imo. Leave it to Araki to make us fans debate theoretical quantum physics XD
There is actually something left unspoken regarding GER because of how minimally it is featured compared to other super-powerful abilities in the series (which often have multiple chapters dedicated to them, while GER is quite literally there for 1 scene and then gone forever).
Technically its ability was also described as "defying logic" by making it so that there is no effect to a cause, and if you go off that then it's pretty much the only outright logic-defying Stand in the series before Go Beyond, so I find that particular comparison hard to make because of how little it was actually featured and never actually explored. But that's probably why it remains such a favored topic of conversation in the fanbase, because it's basically a blank page which is nothing but grounds for speculation.
Wonder of U objectively places all of reality into the domain of it's attacks while at the same time preempting abilities like GER because it activates as soon as your enemy is even aware of it's existence. Soft & Wet Go Beyond counters this by having an attack with the property that it "does not exist" neither in reality or in imagination, and it maintains that property that it does not exist while traveling through reality towards it's target. Wonder Of U is at least as powerful as every stand that has come before it, and is most likely more powerful. Soft & Wet Go Beyond can defeat any other stand with it's attack that "does not exist" as that attack can not be defended against even by stands like The Hand which would be able to erase anything within the domain of reality.
I would kind of find it interesting if there was a spin off manga for the world over heaven
same.
i was thinking about this. Originally i thought that ticket to ride was the strongest stand because to summarise it its just plot armour. Go beyond breaks logic and can go though literally plot armour so wow W josuke
Josuke isn’t two characters, he is a composite person who is more than the sum of his parts.
He goes beyond Josefumi or kira.
He is the fucking strong
Soft & Wet Go Beyond is a walking win button. As long as the concept of "winning" exists, it will win. It's literally the power of miracles as an illogical event. Josuke could shoot himself with it and the shot would travel back to damage the adversary.
Ok but MIH
@@qwart22 MIH would not be able to run toward Josuke because he can plunder the ground's friction.
@@Doflaminguard bro did you see pucci during part 6? I don’t think he cares about walking lmao also made in heaven DOES control gravity still so pucci could just levitate, it could also be used to accelerate aging as shown earlier in part 6 when a ladies nails grew iirc
@@qwart22 okay but wonder of you canonically beats it
@@joesmoe2616 your reasoning?
Wonder of U: "You can't approach me. I have a restraining order on you, pursuing me is against the law."
S&W GB: "I AM the law, and your restraining order has just been revoked."
Wonder of U: 💀
I think wou and ger would be a stale mate cause the calamities would just keep being reset and after giorno kills tooru calamity coming back would be reset infinitely but soft n wet go beyond being stronger is valid
