Stand Design in JoJolion 

0:50-1:50 god I love how araki had such a grasp of power-scaling problems and in the early to mid 90s no less

I like the idea of comparing Stands to a Fruit Tree

I thought you were gonna talk about the actual aesthetic designs of stands I think the stands in part 8 are very unique looking

> "5 parts with stands" >shows 6 parts Is the number 6 cursed?

Stand designs have always had that aspect of reflecting the character's personality. Jotaro is kinda like a cowboy, and Star Platinum's like his revolver. He's intense, violent and focused, so SP has great eyesight, reflexes, power and speed. Even the stand of a side villain like Mariah: she weaponizes her sexuality to distract her opponents and likes to play around with them like a nasty cat, so her ability of magnetism is perfect for that. Plus, to trigger it one has to have that kind of fatal curiosity, to touch an electric socket.

I noticed that from part 6 forward, stands became more passive abilities. Jolyne did a lot of the fighting herself and didn't just stand still while her stand beat up the bad guys. Instead she used the unraveling ability to physically change herself to suit the fight. I feel that Araki wanted for stands to be less "punch ghost punches a lot, also this." So part 6 was a really great bridge to part 7, where one of the main characters probably couldn't even see stands.

I'm absolutely loving this influx of jojolion content from a lot of jojotubers. Seems like the part is widely ignored when talking about the series, and that's such a shame because of how batshit insane some of the new chapters are.

Jojolion's been consistent gold for years now, it's crazy. The latest antagonistic Stand (not naming/identifying to avoid spoiling it for people) is probably my most favourite Stand in a LONG, LONG time. In fact, this latest/most recent few arcs are just absolute bangers.

My personal favorite and I think most well-designed stand of Jojolion has to be Fun Fun Fun. Ojiro is a sadistic character who desperately needs to have power over others, but more importantly cannot have anyone have power over him. This is especially show when a certain character holds power over him by making him question himself; he sees this questioning as that character having power over him, and it leads him to terrible self-mutilation to attempt to prove he hasn't lost that power. His Stand requires him to be above everyone else, and requires him to hurt others for it to work. So to defeat him, you need to get out from under him, make him lose track of your location. If you do that, make him question your position relative to himself, then he's lost his power over you and desperately tries to regain it. He requires you to be beneath him, and the only way to defeat him is to ensure you're not beneath him. He also thinks of himself as superior, gloating that he could get away with murder using his Stand, but worth pointing out that he's not actually done it. Rape and torture defenseless women, yes, but never murder. So we can figure that despite his claims of power, he's at least subconsciously afraid of the consequences of his actions. Thus, he fights with a physical barrier between him and his targets (the ceiling, the floor), because he's a coward inside and won't risk fighting one on one, where he could get hurt. He needs to be close, but not so close as to risk himself.

Blue Hawaii's infecteous nature could be how people who show no drive to move forward, to act and to do something with themselves amcan be infecteous to those around him and it can spread like a disease as more people become infected, but like being lazy, when you realise this, its not hard to avoid and be able to overcome, much like who are infected with his stand move in a linear pattern and are easy to predict because of itm.

Part 8 Stands: My stand can separate the particles in hydrogen, only if it's from a mountain spring, allowing me to reconstruct the plasma in dogs Part 3 Stands: haha punch go oraora

I'd love to see more Jojolion content on RU-vid, it could just be my perception but it seems like there's a lack of videos related to it. I get it because it's not over yet but I think by the end it could honestly end up as one of my favorites.

“criticised for part 4 stands”?! wtf part 4 has the best stands in the series. Crazy Diamond, Echoes, The Hand, Heaven’s Door, Highway Star, Killer Queen. All of these are top tier stands

The best stands are the ones with personality

Oh. It’s another “whY nO PUNchieS?!” Followed by “NOOOO! MOrE ThInkieS!” (At least in the beginning) Yeah... I agree. But I’m tired of that same discussion.

How come Josuke and Gappy seem like direct opposites Josuke has pride in his hair Gappy never shows his hair Josuke is very nice Gappy is very violent Etc. The same can go for Johnny and Jonathan as well

Summary: automatic tracking stands

The reason he said 5 parts had stands is because part 7 had sits

I adore the Stand designs in Jojolion, even so in terms of abilities On the surface many of them seem overly specific and whatnot, but I really like how the stand effects can be simplified and used in fairly straightforward fights

Part 8 definitely has my favorite designs and some of the most interesting powers

Let's hope we don't have to fight "De doo doo doo de daa daa daa" for another couple months

JoJolion stands: I might be very situational,but I can still do decent in certain situations Stardust Crusader stands: I'll break all your bones in 2 seconds

I caught up to Jojolion today! (Chapter 99) and holy shit Jojolion is my favorite part now! The mysterious just kept building more and more, until the bizzare awesomeness at chapter 99! Jojolion also has my favorite stand designs! Ascetically they all look like robotic aliens, which makes them all unique and awesome!

Man, Wonder of U is a really cool stand so far

I really love the editing style you used for the visuals in this video. Everything seems so smooth and seamless; very easy to follow along with and good for holding the viewers interest. And as always, the deeper analysis of JoJo’s themes and characters was great. Hope to see more videos from you like this!

I think stands in Part 8 has the best appearances and abilities out of all series. Especially soft and wet, King nothing, and Going underground. And I don't umderstand why people bashing stand design of jojolion is bad. Sure, it has less punching stuffs, but this time they uses strategies to deal with their enemies. And the way that characters from jojolion uses their stand abilities are incredibly unique, especially doobie wah! arc.

When I saw the thumbnail I thought it said jojolion swag design and I'm genuinely disappointed in myself

“At this moment we have eight parts - five with stands” Me: “. . . Um. . . I count _six_ parts there”

I would say that the stands in part eight are mostly humanoid and silhouette based, the circular nature of most heads makes noncircular ones like soft and wet *stand* out. Their main attributes are emphasized similar to the hand. It is also notable that many abilities are automatic over close range building tension more.

Just got caught up with the manga and I’m so glad to see this channel making JoJolion content. Fixing to be my favorite part of all.

Damo's ability to make people soft also ties into how he's a sex god master at making Hato weak in the knees. I put that in a joking way, but think about it seriously, he melts people and makes them helpless just like he melted Hato's heart and made her helpless to fight back until she got out of the range of his influence. She genuinely loved him, and as a Rock Human incapable of love in that way, that was entirely due to master-class method acting on Damo's part, seducing his way into melting her heart just like how he snuck into the Higashikata estate and melted all of them. There's also a bit more to Dolomite's Blue Hawaii, its ability to make things come to him without him having to move makes sense for how content he is and in terms of practically, works with his lack of limbs to bring things to him.

As a person who has been quite lost reading Jojolion reading it over the years, I really enjoy videos like these that go over details that I didn't fully grasp or appreciate when I was younger! Would love to see more analysis on other stands in later parts of just any sort of analysis of part 8 especially--but you just keep on making the good videos!

We're always here with you! Also I'd LOVE to see more coverage of the later parts!

Im so glad i got up to date with Jojolion in the last week, i can finnaly watch videos like this.

Your later part videos are always your best 😤😤🐐

My only complain with stands in Jojolion is that there are too many automatic stands

Now to summarize 8 minutes and 50 seconds: great fucking designs

Soft and wet is the CLEANEST LOOKING main JOJO stand ....I said it lol fight me😂✊🏾

Please please make more Jojolion and steel ball run videos. The later parts of JoJo are absolutely magnificent, Jojolion has far surpassed my expectations, didn’t think it would be able to compete with SBR but daym, it’s getting close

I honestly wish Hamon would make a come back, or maybe some use of a stand and Hamon, like Joseph sorta did.

a wasnt a huge believer in jojolion in the begining of the part. but now i think its one of the best pieces of entertainment media ive ever seen

Jojolion upload on my birthday? Now this is epic, thank you

Finally, a video on the best part.

I'd love to see a comparison between Love Train and Wonder of U, their abilities both have something to do with misfortune and fate

You can argue it started at part 5 , but it started to truly show during part 6 where stands went from fighting spirits to more of robotic looking figures.

Deadass the best jojo youtuber

Good job with the editing

Why is the editing in this video so GOOOOOD!!!!

i really adore that the abilities are based off of their users, the users personalities, backstories, etc. it reminds us of what stands are supposed to be, manifestations of life energy, personality, and fighting spirit.

Great video! I'd argue that Vitamin C isn't just another close range stand, it's one that's specifically tailored to work best in intimate settings. Like, sure, it'd be dangerous in a field, but it's capabilities are fully unleashed when it's brought in like, a house, or on a boat.

JoJolion might just be my favorite part

To be honest, soft and wet has one of my favorite designs in the entire series

Woah Kaleb finally doing a video on jojolion??? This must be the work of an enemy stand

Love the outro.

I thought the title was "Sound design" and I was like ????????

More videos on Steel Ball Run and Jojolion would be awesome!

Yes! a big JoJotuber makes a video about Jojolion!

1:25 Such a beautiful philosophy...

Ironically, Part 4 and Part 8 are my favorite JoJo Parts

Great vid. We want more Jojolion

And this is why part 8 is the best

Just realized I wasn’t subbed huh well now I am thanks this video

Yo Kaleb I have a video idea for you. You have to take all the antagonists from each part of jojo and swap them around to give them the best chance of winning against that parts team. Nobody can stay in their original part, you can’t use any antagonist twice and if it goes well do it the other way around

My dad is like a subtitle jojo reference he did the joestar secret technique

Stands in part 3 be like I'ma beat you to death

YESSSS MORE JOJOLION CONTENT

I think that the situation with the comparison of earlier part stands to later current part stands is very much similar to you could draw parallels to Pokemon and earlier generation designs in comparison to the newer current generation of Pokemon - where the earlier designs were easier to understand and grasp, the current generation of designs have more nuance and specificity to their designs, and many people tend to gravitate towards the simpler straightforward designs - personally in terms of both Jojo and Pokemon I'm fine and enjoy both old and current designs

this video never came thru my sub feed and im upset lol glad im finally seeing it tho

Soft and wet is one of my favorite abilities and stand designs and I wish that could be me using it to be honest

There are two types of Jojolion stands. The *will automatically summon and attack the target with cold wind if the target has opened an object* type and the *l o n g h e e l* type

FINALLY CAUGHT UP TO JOJOLION LATEST CHAPTER finally here

I can't believe it took me this long to realize that Big Ed is just Tamaki Damo... But then again, i only knew Ed for like a few weeks.

Keep it 100 I didn't watch the video cuz of spoilers buti still fux with your channel so I'ma still leave this comment and like the video to help out with the algorithm

I personally see stand users as a species constantly evolving in response to their circumstances and the greater context of fate. In part 3, DIO the savior to the wicked attracted stand users with abilities to match as well as drawing out enemies with the power to face them. This is why in my head cannon, Jotaro gains the time stop ability; as to me, it’s fate evolving a specimen to allow stand users as a species to progress past what DIO would’ve let them be lest they eventually threaten his reign. In my headcannon this is why Crazy Diamond looks like the world but has such a unique and fitting ability as opposed to Jotaro who sort of carries the will of the Joestars. In part 5 the context is a seedy underworld so the powers get (mostly) low key in scale but just as violent as part 3.

Damo trying to "rock" that Pesci chin

It's crazy to think that JoJolion has been going on longer than the entire JoJo anime.

You help me sleep (ty)

I'd love to see all the different trees and branches which connect all the stands together

I haven’t read up to part 8 yet but soft and wet is still my favorite stand

Funny enough how I looked up araki's little things after the volumes and read that quote before watching this.

When are you going to make that Canon Smash Tier List?

I'm a huge fan of Speed King's design

Oh crap I wasn’t subbed I’ve been watching your video for a min love your content

Can we please get a "How Strong is Funny Valentine outside of JoJo?"? I think that would be pretty interesting!

great videos...

*The Wonder of U has entered the chat*

They should really make a stand bassed on fear.

As far as physical design elements Soft and Wets head has some similarities to a bollard which attaches a ship to the dock. Connecting sea and land. Much like kira and josephumi

I haven't read any of jojolion yet but I'm hoping that the head doctor is the equivalent of vanilla ice and cream from part 3 cause I really liked Meti's theory of the mother being the main villain

why does JoJolion have no lions ANSWER ME

Paisley Park is such a cool stand, it doesn't seem powerful at first. But, its ability to steal information from afar and to operate remotely from Yasuho is such an interesting and broken ability in the information era.

i prefer the more "abstract" stands design,because i think that it shows better what is like a soul physical representation,makes more sense

This is basically just the genwunners of JoJo

"JJBA has had a fairly large journey" did you mean... A bizarre adventure?

6 seconds in and already messes up

You should do thoughts on every stardust crusader

0:06 ah yes...5 (even the timestamp is on point)

Kaleb kinda forgot that part 6 had stands

*Remember when everyone was super buff?*

Bruh,Jojolion stands are some of my favorite visually. Part 4 has the best ability to user version tho
