, or DIO using his five seconds of time stop to deliver two minute long speeches.

I have an explanation for that

See, every time DIO stopped he had to have a monologue. He would always end saying something like 'It should be 6 seconds now.'

Really what was happening is that DIO forgot how to count. He could really stop time for minutes at a time, but he just counted very slowly inbetween his speeches.

The real explanation is that it is very hard to count time when there is no time

"Man I bet dolphins don't have to deal with this Stand bullshit."

Just waiting for Araki to design a dolphin with a Stand. In the vastness of the ocean you just know sharks and dolphins are having Stand battles.

The best thing is that Dio himself actually calls out that fact, from the scene right before he kills Joseph (episode 46, at around 17:30):

I think the manga release translated the third line as something along the lines of "but it feels like about five seconds" instead.

Dio's a vampire, so he can go huge distances in those 5 seconds compared to a normal human like Jotaro

But Dio just runway walks...

I generally hate memes, but the Jotaro dolphin one still amuses me.

i mean if you had a body like that wouldn't you?

oh lord hahaha!

 

[Genryu]

I just love thinking about the stuff that Dio does during Stopped Time before you know he can stop time.

 

[RadioHeadAche]

That's exactly how I imagined this scene. He stops, picks up the little guy and puts him in front of the door/in the car.

 

[JadedWriter]

I still find this hilarious.

Just imagine how dangerous Dio could have been if trolling wasn't ingrained in his DNA.

"Why do I have this OP time bullshit, everyone is always expecting me to use it. Why couldn't I just have a dolphin stand"

I'll take it that Jotaro doesn't actually do anything related to his profession throughput the duration of 'Diamond Is Unbreakable,' right?

 

[Mista Koo]

Yep. Imagine him getting his checkmate knives and Polnareff getting one knife impaled in him for every step he takes.

Yeah, if he was on some Ozymandias shit he would have the whole world under his thumb by now.

Aside from turtle sympathy, the whole meme is based solely on the fact that he's a marine biologist.

Dolphin is Unbreakable

Dolphin is Unboneable.

How do we know Jotaro doesn't love gentle cuttlefish?

Cause he's not Dr. Dugong from The Venture Brothers.

Are they going to address how a stand as powerful as Red Hot Chili Peppers can be controlled from seemingly great distances or is the whole rule about stand strength being proportional to range thing out the window?

 

[Matsukaze]

RHCP is weird because its "power level is affected by proximity to electricity" caveat doesn't actually matter as much as it should.

And in terms of stats, RHCP is an absolute beast. It has an A in everything that isn't Precision, which is super fucked considering it's a mid-tier Stand lol.

 

[PK Gaming]

RHCP is one of the rare exceptions (there are others that "break" the pattern, but they are few in number). On the other hand, it needs electricity to power itself, unlike most stands, so it can potentially run out of power.

It's stupidly overpowered though.

 

[cntr]

Yeah strength being inverse to range is a tendency, not a rule.

RHCP is technically not great in range, but his range is calculated by the distance from his current power source, not the user. That's why he needs to use the bike to escape.

The rule for RHCP still applies, except its not about range to user but range to nearest electrical source. Which in this setting is pretty powerful but in other settings could be quite bad.

 

[BatDan]

No, just no.

They don't want to get sued

 

[Zabojnik]

I get it, but surely there were better options. Any random italian surname would do. Hell, go with Tonio Toniardi, if you're out of imagination.

 

[Astral]

I never really thought about it before but RHCP is pretty damn powerful.

 

[Vibed]

Why couldn't RHCP's owner just revoke his stand back to him instead of taking the bike to get away? Is there any hard and fast rule on revoking stands?

Long range/automatic stands cant be retracted as easily as the short range ones. I assume he needs to hop onto a power line and bring it back to the user

Which is bullshit considering that a goddamn Nick show can get away with blatant Aerosmith references. I get the "better safe than sorry" approach, but renaming stuff like Bad Company or even Surface is being a bit paranoid.

Spoiler

Speaking of Aerosmith, was that name changed in Part 5 for the West?

 

[cntr]

It's not the references, it's the names. You can't use a trademarked name as a name on other products not endorsed by the trademark holder, so the characters are in a questionable gray area.

Dialogue references are fine, Nickelodeon or Jojo.

So even a name as generic as Surface can be in the gray area? Weird.
