We don’t see Cindarella in a proper fight - as incredibly interesting as that might be - and as such an ability was difficult to place. However, I’d like to think this one fits.

Aya’s a really interesting character, to be honest. I’m sad we didn’t get to see more of her.

Rohan Kishibe knows everything about you from the moment he sees you - and not because he’s analytic, nor because he’s observant. It’s because he’s already used Heaven’s Door to read your entire life’s story.

I think people would remember this fight a bit more fondly if Star Finger wasn’t complete horseshit.

I don’t have much to say about Ratt besides that it served as one of the highest-quality episodes of the Diamond is Unbreakable anime. Seriously, absolutely incredible - a level of quality we hadn’t seen til that point and probably wouldn’t experience again until Sheer Heart Attack.

Yo, Angelo!

I really wanted to make Killer Queen a Fairy type. He’s pink! He looks like a kitty! But the truth of the matter is, Killer Queen is one of the most dangerous stands in the manga, and belongs to the most conniving, self-obssessed, psychopathic, clever, cunning motherfuckers in all of fiction. Yoshikage Kira wouldn’t have a stand that wasn’t a fucking Dark-type. He IS Dark. And you can’t NOT give the Explosion Stand a Fire-typing. You just can’t.

Sheer Heart Attack’s invulnerability lends him the Steel-Typing, here. Hey. Look over here.

hes a ghost man that shoots arrows.

Highway Star was...difficult. While I was reluctant to put another Dark-type up, let alone another Dark-Ghost one, nothing else really matched up. Yuya is an asshole. We can all agree on that. Dark-typing fits him like a glove, he’s a cocky biker that has no qualms about stealing life essence from other people. It’s that exact life-drain ability that reminded me of similar stuff from the Litwick line in Gen V, as well as some of the darker stuff like Phantump in Gen VI. 

Chasing someone down without mercy as a series of feet that can smell you out rather than just being smelly, that stick to you and drain your life force, just seemed like a Ghost-type thing to me. Gimme your perspective if you disagree, I’d love to hear it.

Shigechi is a boy that more-or-less has a Normal-typed Stand for the same reason Okuyasu did. He’s down-to-earth and knows exactly what he wants out of life. 

The ability was the easiest one yet. Not only does it fit Harvest like a glove, the name’s the god damn same too

look at that crazy asshole. hes having a great time

Picking an ability was difficult for Red Hot Chilli Pepper. Basically all of the Electric ones would have fit. I ended up picking one at random because I remember him being very fast.

Look! A standard 3-stage evolution! If Echoes was my Pokemon, I’d be fucking pissed off if it traded a Flying Typing for a Dark one, but hey, we’re just fucking around here.

Why a Dark typing for Act 3? He’s a good guy, isn’t he? Well, yeah, but he also kinda represents Koichi’s dark side. When he’s not calling women ho’s and expressing his homicidal intentions towards them, he’s mostly cussing and spelling cusswords. All in all, despite being somewhat fey like his earlier forms, Act 3 is an asshole.

Okuyasu Nijimura has a mean streak. Hence the Dark-typing. But he’s a down-to-earth guy who can see the world in simpler means than you and I. Hence the Normal-typing.

The Hand’s ability always reminded me of Vanilla Ice, but in more of a controlled manner. The shape of its head is almost like blinkers for a horse - representing Okuyasu’s narrow perspective on things, and how he more or less just charges in head-first. His admittedly terrifying power is balanced out by his complete affability and lack of ability to truly recognise its full potential, which might be a good thing considering it could likely spell doom for fucking everybody.

Josuke is my favourite Jojo and he’s in my favourite part. Crazy Diamond represents Josuke’s true empathy and good nature - a Stand designed to heal and fix, rather than destroy.

That’s not to say the psycho bastard CAN’T destroy, because he certainly fucking can. Holy shit, can he.

Vanilla Ice may dress like he’s about to step onto a porn set, but I’ll be damned if he doesn’t get shit done. He kills more people than Dio does, and in less time. Yes, Iggy is a people.

Cream’s pure darkness. A void stand that can blast anything it touches into a realm of nothingess. Terrifying.

Out of The Hanged Man, Justice and this motherfucker, I have to say that this motherfucker is probably the worst. 

Death 13 is the fucking Freddy Krueger stand. He patrols your dreams and fucking tortures and murders you. And the worst part? He’s just a baby. He doesn’t even know any better.

Geb is water. Pure and simple. No added bullshit. I can’t even slap a Dark-typing on there, because N’doul wasn’t even that bad a dude. He was just on the wrong team.

The fight with Geb is one of the best introductions Araki’s given us - if you count the Egypt Arc separate, which I do because we just ditched the Tarot Card thing for this Egyptian God bullshit

The whole “keep quiet and don’t move” trope’s been done before, but its just as nail-bitingly tense in Jojo as it is in anything else.
