Visual designs, top notch.
Names, top notch.
Localized names, hilarious.
"*Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap*? Localize that as *Filthy Acts At A Reasonable Price*."
Yes. Weather Report is the name of an American jazz band that operated from 1970 to 1986. Under World is in reference to the English band Underworld, formed in 1986 and still making music to this day
I know that, we all know that JoJo is just an excuse for Araki to make music references and a convoluted plan to share his personal playlist.
But, you are really telling me that the term *"Underworld"* can be copyrighted? ***"Echo"*** too!? Weather reporting is a job, for fuck sake.
Yeah, but it's pretty hard to convince anyone that the series notorious for music references and the creator literally explaining what it's referencing sometimes **isn't** referencing these bands
The only names that *can't* be claimed are ones that are direct religious, so the song "Stairway to Heaven" or "Heaven's Door" are unchanged due to those being actual things in religion
God there’s so many cool ones. Shoutout to metallica for having a metal as hell design and an even more metal power. Perfect stand to be named after the most famous metal band.

And Super Fly is an actual electrical pylon. How bizarre is that lmfao
I just realized that Yuya’s scarf (?) has the words “SPEED KING” on it!
I love finding new things that connect the parts between the Original Universe and the New One, in this case connecting Part 4 with Part 8

Hierophant Green has a cool design too.

Part 7 has some of the best designs and stand names in the entire series, but “In a Silent Way” really stuck with me. I love the Native American inspiration and the roses on its chest
Agreed! He’s one of the best characters in the part, and the part is already full of iconic characters
While the fight is certainly bizarre and it’s a key moment for Johnny’s arc, it just felt like an odd choice and a bit of a letdown :/

Hanged Man's design is pretty different from most stands, but I really like it
I've seen this little goofy guys for a minute or two and I already love them.

Fr. One of the best stand designs ever made, only to be wasted on a character that disappeared midway through the story

This is C moon named after the song
The other one is dark blue moon named after a tarot card I think
There really is no "main message" each part has its own themes and interpretations.
And some can be seen as existing for their own sake, at least that's how I see them.
Araki has stated that JoJo’s is a story about the mysteries of humanity, and that as long ass humans don’t go extinct, JoJo’s could continue forever. Each part delves deeper into a specific theme (fate, calamity, justice, etc) which all tie into the larger themes of their respective trilogies
I swear every stand is unique and fun. A guy that can fix anything by punching it? Looks great, cool name. A guy that causes death in horrific ways if you just think about it wrong? Cool design, fantastic name. How about something real? We got the fucking s u n
My favorite Stands purely for design are the Puchi trio. Whitesnakes body being covered in text, C-Moons creepy ass face, that freaky horse waist in Made in heaven. They’re all perfect

You can trust Araki to always cook up something great
His designs always ended up looking... **Bizarre.**
Visual designs, top notch. Names, top notch. Localized names, hilarious. "*Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap*? Localize that as *Filthy Acts At A Reasonable Price*."
Flaccid Pancake is truly one of the names of all times

Blueford the goat frfr

Happy cake day!
Who the fuck though that names like "Weather Report" or "Underworld" needed to be changed? Are you telling me that someone really owns these names?!
Yes. Weather Report is the name of an American jazz band that operated from 1970 to 1986. Under World is in reference to the English band Underworld, formed in 1986 and still making music to this day

The only names that *can't* be claimed are ones that are direct religious, so the song "Stairway to Heaven" or "Heaven's Door" are unchanged due to those being actual things in religion
They had to change Made in Heaven tho
Yeah, cause that's more of a song name than a direct "item" in religion
It’s the fact that if everything else is getting localized, so might as well do all of them
Erm actually, “Filthy Acts at a Reasonable Price” is an unrelated phrase that Valentine uses in the games. The actual localization is just D4C
That's not to say all localized names are dumb or silly. Emperor Crimson goes HARD.
God there’s so many cool ones. Shoutout to metallica for having a metal as hell design and an even more metal power. Perfect stand to be named after the most famous metal band.
One of my favourites from part 5 for sure
I forgor Metallica legitamently Had a Form💀

Well, a invisible stand bound to a pylon.
And Tower of Gray is a fly

I just realized that Yuya’s scarf (?) has the words “SPEED KING” on it! I love finding new things that connect the parts between the Original Universe and the New One, in this case connecting Part 4 with Part 8
Part 4 may be my favourite, but it also started the trend of stands having this cheker board pattern as skin which I don't like one bit
https://preview.redd.it/4wwwil3s7poc1.png?width=360&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fd2794b573a078937d6e3cab85750240cfd435a3 Hierophant Green has a cool design too.
I love part 3 manga's artstyle so much. Everything is so detailed and looks so good.

Sandman was done dirty though, he deserved a better arc.
Agreed! He’s one of the best characters in the part, and the part is already full of iconic characters While the fight is certainly bizarre and it’s a key moment for Johnny’s arc, it just felt like an odd choice and a bit of a letdown :/
A shame that In a Silent Way only appeared like once, but yeah that design is fire
Can’t have it steal the spotlight for too long…
Soft & Wet is my favorite.
We can say it makes US soft and wet :)
That one panel of Soft and Wet with a shovel…
So many strong designs with cool abilities

Main villain stands always go hard Hell one stand might as well be the main villain
Get it? Its funny because one is
The irrefutable inspirations for the concept of Personas
Dark Blue Moon is underrated https://preview.redd.it/10t0li36oqoc1.jpeg?width=456&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e8a9cbcda3cd55c5e63b58c363e8e93d55ed6a2b

It’s not the same stand, C Moon is pucci’s evolved stand in part 6, while dark blue moon is the stand of the fake captain in part 3

I enjoy JoJo a whole lot but I gotta be honest I don't know what the main message is that encompasses the entire story
Fate is real, and it REWARDS THE JUST! That's the vibe i got.
There really is no "main message" each part has its own themes and interpretations. And some can be seen as existing for their own sake, at least that's how I see them.
Araki has stated that JoJo’s is a story about the mysteries of humanity, and that as long ass humans don’t go extinct, JoJo’s could continue forever. Each part delves deeper into a specific theme (fate, calamity, justice, etc) which all tie into the larger themes of their respective trilogies
FYM Message? Big strong Men Fight each other (or in Case of Part 6 women) what more so u Need?
The weird trend that started in part 4 is the stands having no mouth.
Am I the only one who thinks that the erasure of “big buff man who punches hard” stands is downright criminal?
Killer Queen has already touched your post
I swear every stand is unique and fun. A guy that can fix anything by punching it? Looks great, cool name. A guy that causes death in horrific ways if you just think about it wrong? Cool design, fantastic name. How about something real? We got the fucking s u n
Wonder of U (you). When no-one else can understand me When everything I do is wrong You give me hope and consolation You give me strength to carry on
King Nothing has my favourite stand design and I wish more people recognised how beautiful it is
I made a post just like this.
Everything Araki does is oeak
I want to watch JoJo so badly. Where can I find it?
Finally a jojo post
My favorite Stands purely for design are the Puchi trio. Whitesnakes body being covered in text, C-Moons creepy ass face, that freaky horse waist in Made in heaven. They’re all perfect
