So why did this bastard let his time-stop ability deteriorate when he was a fucking marine biologist...

The starfish thematically suggests the fate of all the Joestars
Jotaro tries to escape in work, drawn to the sea that took his great grandfather and from which arose Dio
But in the end the sea will claim him as well

source: your ass

probably gives him ptsd or something.
considering that's the main ability of the dude who killed half his friends.

I mean, he's not wrong
>Used it enough that Red Hot Chili Pepper knew what his power was by word of mouth
>Part 4 takes place presumably not too long after that
>Part 5 takes place just a little while after part 4

your mouth: my ass

That, as well as Jotaro and Pol’s quest to find the arrows leading to the frog becoming a turtle

>stands are powered by fighting spirit
I guess jotaro was using his fighting spirit to get a boombox, drinks, and various random shit while he was in a jail cell

Didn’t he train time stop back up to his prime at the cost of durability for part 6?

He was constantly angry and would beat up people all the time. He had a fighting spirit. However, he probably didn't have any good reason to use SP after defeating Dio, except when dealing with small fry (since Polnareff got the big prize). It got rusty. Honestly, time stop isn't that useful unless you're an asshole or you're getting into fights all the time.

Well, he went against Dio, the guy who had gathered stand users all around the world, and he also killed him. There would be rumors even if he didn't use SP again.

So reverse Hamon?

You're thinking of Code Geass, user.

Because Araki thinks time stop is the most powerful stand power and he didn't want his part 3 protag to solve everything.

>stop time and observe phenomena?
Multiple high speed camera is better since it has unlimited pause time and comes with rewind.

Polnareff was his only friend and they clearly didn't keep in touch

>Kakyoin died to discover The Worlds ability
>Everyone in Moriah knew Jotaro could stop time
>Johnny figured it out after seeing it once

>hunted down the arrows throughout Asia and the Americas
>definitely ran into a few stand users since his goal was the stand arrows
>never had any reason to use time stop once
>yet uses it at least once in every fight he's in in parts 4 and 6
sure

forget this post, I'm retarded. it's araki's writing

3 and 4 were also about a decade apart.

I theorise, why Jotaro and Polnareff were so strong in part 3 is because Jotaro was feeling very vengeful )even more so when almost all of his crew was wiped out).
and Polnareff was seeking to avenge the brutal rape and murder of his sister.

Tusk could also move in stopped time, I guess it just told him about The World, because it could "talk" in act one

>Araki thinks time stop is the most powerful stand power
But him with time stop jobbed to a rat.

Would Crazy Diamond: The World be able to stop King Crimson?

Better question: Where in the fuck did Jotaro's interest in Marine Biology come from? He didn't show any signs of that at all in SC. Feels very out of left field.

did you forget the dolphins

I did. Which Dolphins again?

yeah sorry looked it up and I'm retarded

he was hyped up on adrenaline when he fought DIO so it makes sense that his SHTA PRATUNUM: ZA WARUDO would be less powerful after he killed his families greatest enemy.

does it ever specify that he stopped using time stop at any point?

Johnny fought at least one specifically temporal stand user before Dio and had just finished fighting a man who's ability was to bend spacetime around him. Something as relatively simple as stopping time for a few seconds was probably fairly easy for him to grasp, especially since 7Dio wasn't being nearly as careful with it as 3Dio.

Assuming he trained it to a full 30 seconds, he'd have to do it over a million times just to shave a year off his life.

my headcanon is that jotaro REALLY enjoyed the submarine ride on their way to egypt, but his teenage angst stopped him from showing his excitement in the moment.

imagine if you got to ride on a fucking submarine at age 17. would have been cool as shit had they not been on a time limit.

His timestop is 5 seconds by part 6 and we know Jotaro didn't spend much time with his family because he was fighting stand users. Also, in part 5 it is stated that Jotaro and Polnareff searched for the arrows during the 90s, which implies Jotaro might have fought against stand users before part 4, but if we are to believe Jotaro's statement at the beginning of part 4, he really might've not used timestop since his battle with DIO, so maybe he didn't fight any stand users or simply didn't need The World to beat them, which is really dumb considering how much he abuses timestop in part 4. Anyway, at least we know for sure he did use timestop between parts 4 and 6, and he used it a lot.

>Used it enough that Red Hot Chili Pepper knew what his power was by word of mouth
That's just a thing in Jojo. Narancia's wasn't known to Formaggio yet Diavolo, Squalo, and Tiziano knew about Aerosmith, it just creates more of an advantage to the opponent.

>Kakyoin died to discover The Worlds ability
Tbf him dying and figuring out how The World works aren't exactly related. He knew it stopped time because all of his threads were torn at once. Jotaro and Diego are just chumps who fail to killed their opponents in stopped time.

My only theory is that it's a reference to the emperor of Japan until the end of WW2, who was a marine biologist.

>SECCO

He clearly changed his mind to time stop plus precognition for Part 5

A camera is great, but stopping time a few centimeters away from a shark to the point that you could count its teeth would be neater

Diavolo was paranoid enough to keep info on all of the new stand users that got into Passione. On the other hand, he didn't know Risotto's powers, and presumably not much about the Squadra in general. It could be explained by the Squadra being a team of natural stand users, unlike the ones that got their stands through Polpo, though it's more likely that Araki just gives every character the info they need.

I thought all the jostar stands weakened when dio died. That's why Jotaro's mom's stand stops killing her but he keeps his. Because they become weaker. Her stand's effects no longer hurting her and his time stop being less potent.

Stop reading comic books too. This is a thinly veiled social attack thread for people you don't like or want to confront.

Cousteau to disagree with you.

Kino

>>Josuke presumably stops training his stand
what's there to train?

his stand is by default the fastest stand in existence, and his healing ability doesn't require training.

>his stand is by default the fastest stand in existence

what? which stand is faster?

Notorious BIG can match his speed but can't attain that speed alone, so he doesn't count.

Crazy Diamond is the fastest stand

Or just kill the shark and then count them? Or better yet, just use SP to hold the shark still

How is it the fastest?

In punching speed.

Star platinums entire thing is being fast, and chariot without armor is also faster, as is probably tower of gray, MiH and emperor

He was intentionally acting as bait

I would say

Star Platinum < The World < Crazy Diamond < Silver Chariot (No Armor) < Emperor < Tower of Gray

He still runs at ~10 KM per hour, he just has more hours than anyone else

Yeah, that's what I thought too. Would explain why Joseph never fucking bothered to use Hermit Purple to find Kira immediately. Aside from the fact that he's a lazy shit, but come on, we're talking about a serial killer here.

How would Notorious BIG go against Made in Heaven?

Fights used to be personal and Pokeshit ruined that.

Cant prove me wrong

Hermit Purple only shows things that are directly relevant to Joseph. He could get pictures of DIO because his existence endangered Holly. A serial killer that was targeting Josuke's immediate family would show up, but not one that wanted nothing to do with any of them, which is where Kira stood after changing his face.

Pucci=dead

Wait, was this mentioned somewhere?

Remember that he tried to take a picture of Josuke, only to get Angelo instead, because Angelo was going to go after Josuke's mother and grandfather. Once Kira changed his face, he had no intention of reengaging Josuke or anyone connected to him.

Also, in the Empress fight, he was able to use Hermit Purple to find a barrel of tar because that was far more relevant to him at the time than another picture of DIO would've been.

I see, that makes sense.

You would lose a few hours of your life if you used it for battles over the years.

Why didn't Pol get in touch with Jotaro and lance him with the arrow instead of wasting years sitting on his ass, browsing forums for people who knew about Diavalo? I know he said he was "cut off" from the outside world, but making out that he couldn't have somehow got in touch with Jotaro after Diavalo assumed he was dead is bullshit. Beefing up the stand power of a guy who can freeze time to fight the guy who can erase it seems like a better idea than waiting for some random stand users to show up.

Part 5 was always Giornos story no matter how many plotholes inconsistencies and ass pulls he has to step over to win

>So why did this bastard let his time-stop ability deteriorate when he was a fucking marine biologist?

Because Jotaro is a overrated mary sue that solves over half his problems by punching something or someone with star platinum. He then proceeds to act and fool half the audience that he is competent when in reality he's just a brute.

He has some good moments where he's NOT doing that but they are very few.

>what? which stand is faster?
Anubis......The Tower......Silver Chariot......The World......

It’s fucking jojo. The story barely holds itself together with the number of inconsistencies. Just enjoy it as a peek into the mind of Araki.

Fuck that
More like why would you ever stop training a discipline that keeps you miraculously young?

Part 6 stand descriptions about SP:TW
