If you aren't confused by the final battle of any arc past Diamond is Unbreakable at at least one point, I'd honestly be impressed.

Dude just pulls progressively fitter versions of himself. May as well do it when your ability is travelling between parallel universes.

By the way, D4C's ability reminds me of the protagonist of an excellent comic, Qualia the Purple (link goes to ADTRW thread which has links to the comic itself), especially with this image:

I'm wondering how Jolyne can stay in one piece considering everything her body goes through. Stone Free apparently gives you Wolverine tier regeneration apparently.

Didn't the Stardust Crusaders cast take some crippling hits throughout the story and kept on trucking like nothing happened apart from Avdol getting shanked and Kakyoin getting shades? Like, Jotaro just shrugged off getting stabbed by Anubis like it ain't no thing for example.

Jolyne comes after her dad is what I'm saying.

Soft and Wet will take away the injuries of a person for maximum JoJo protagonist broken stand power.
He'll just keep doing it so when they come back, he just gets rid of them again.

Better yet, removing the injury and applying it to someone else.


Joshuu's stand seems like it'd be capable of healing people but that would require Joshuu to not be a loving jackoff rear end in a top hat to be helpful for once

I still can't quite wrap my head around Soft & Wet. It's easy to explain, but so incredibly vague once you think about it.

So, he can shoot bubbles, which steal something, even intangible things, and stores them in the bubbles. When those bubbles burst, the stolen thing comes out. We've seen Josuke steal cat's hair, sight, water from a body, smell, sound... Apparently he can steal absolutely anything temporarily. Is it one of those crazy powers that are effectively only limited by imagination? Could Josuke kill someone instantly by stealing their life? (And even revive others by transfering that bubble to them?) Is his power entirely based on theft puns in Japanese?

Oh well. Not that it matters, really - Part 8 seems to barely contain any classic Punchman battles (there's that stone dude, and... that's it), and more battle puzzles... or just puzzles, for that matter. Which is sweet.

If this guy's Stand is to flip things over, like that weird cane from the Zelda games, it could be a hugely entertaining stand in future battles, with a little creativity - and if there's any manga out there creative with its powers, well...

Soft and Wet seems pretty overpowered, yeah. It's at least up there with Weather Report in terms of sheer versatility, on top of being an auto-win if a bubble touches the opponent. Having said that, Heaven's Door was also a ludicrously powerful Stand that still got interesting fights (though mainly because he generally fought against Stand-negating Stands that forced him to essentially fight without it).

Sure, I have absolute confidence it's gonna be interesting in any case. There's been an increasing number of "fights" where the characters spent the majority figuring out what the hell is going on, so I'm not too worried about overpowered abilities!

Also, even being the incredibly broken power that it is, Heaven's Door introduced us to Another One Bites the Dust. There was something utterly hilarious and at the same time terrifying about Rohan flipping through the pages, and suddenly there's a tiny Killer Queen going 'sup :haw: ' and Rohan blows the gently caress up.

Has Soft and Wet ever stolen more than one thing at a time? Making your opponent's blind is pretty powerful but if that's all you can do then they can still fight back.
