Jotaro can't send a Joestar, because if anything would trigger latent DIO genes that would do it, so that rules out him and Josuke.

Okuyasu is a great guy but isn't exactly subtle, and he has to take care of his dad anyway.

Rohan was too busy preparing for his Alaskan Sled Dog manga by interviewing werewolves.


Really Koichi was the best (only) option.

I think the #1 rule for stands is that when you first get one there's a grace period where you're virtually omnipotent, before you settle down on what your gimmick actually is.

Oh yeah. Star Platinum getting the treadmill into the cell makes no sense for such a short-range Stand and implies a make-objects-phase-through-other-objects power that never comes up again. Not to mention Star Finger! And then there's Dio's copy of Hermit Purple, although the artbooks do say it's Jonathan's Stand, so maybe he lost it as he assimilated Jonathan's body.

Clearly Dio's real power is stealing from the Joestar bloodline

It turns things into hollow ballons, and if you stab them and make a hole you can harmlessly deflate the balloons!

He stabbed a ship, then carefully pushed the identical ship into it, filling it with air to make sure everything snapped into place

He wrapped a deflated boat around another boat like a skin then hid between the skin and the actual boat

oh wait actually I get it, he deflated BOTH boats, then put one deflated boat inside the other, then reinflated the inner one, which caused the outer boat to look inflated as well.

But since he had to deflate the outer boat, it still had a hole in it (since that's how his stand works), and putting a hole in both boats means it starts sinking.

He deflated both ships before stuffing one into the other, so the outer ship covered the inner ship like paint.

How did he get the outer ship off the inner ship when it was sinking?

He needs to have a hole in something to deflate it, so when he started reinflating the outer ship the inner ship got pushed out the hole.

also i caught the implication earlier that the world was supposed to be everyone's stands but that has literally never been anything but a dumb and everpresent fan theory that keeps popping up despite the guy who actually wrote it directly saying otherwise

Not everyone's stands; DIO's true power is the ability to steal things from Joestars.

That, and as someone mentioned before, just staying small and hiding in the loving car until Narancia drove back to the hideout would have worked perfectly. Starting a fight to torture out the info was the dumbest possible idea.

of course if narancia used his stand power it'd have smelled him

The main difference is that star finger is used to finish people off after their stand is already beaten, and if you removed it you would need to go to zero effort to change the fight (have him throw a rock instead, done)

You can argue that Joseph didn't keep up with hamon so that he'd age at the same rate as his wife and if you look at it that way, it makes sense.

There's no reason why Jotaro wouldn't keep up with Star Platinum - The World.

what if the timestop doesn't work underwater and Jotaro is just using Star Platnium's ability to do really detailed sketches of fish???
