Man, I’ve done a lot of videos.
I think one thing that I do, but don’t really elaborate on is my favorites.
I’ll usually say something is one of my favorites without mentioning the rest, but
it’s usually because I think it would take a while and would be better for a different
video.
Well, this is that video.
I’m going to be talking about all my favorite stands here, and if I don’t have a stand
mentioned it doesn’t mean I dislike it.
There are a lot of stands that I do like, but there’s a specific few that I like more
than the others.
But now, let’s get this all started with my favorite stands in part 3.
So, the first stand is going to be Pet Shop’s stand, Horus.
I loved the overwhelming power that it had and how it worked in the fight against Iggy.
Its design is my favorite in all of part 3, and it’s probably due to being skeletal
and made of ice.
The coloring used in the colored manga made me appreciate it even more since I was a bit
tired of the dry colors being used the whole part.
Seeing Horus and Geb in part 3 and having cool colors is like drinking water after waking
up from it being too hot.
It’s a refreshing feeling.
Speaking of Geb, I like that stand for the same reasons I do Horus, but I picked Horus
over Geb due to the skeletal form and cryokinesis.
Sometimes I’d like to think about Horus if it was in the hands of a human and if they
were able to have ice claws on their hands, but that’s something
on it’s own.
Altogether, good stand, good coloring, great ability.
The next stand is Justice.
You might see a pattern, I really like skeletons.
When looking at the design of Justice, I like it because of it’s skeletal design, and
the stand being fog.
While the area is obviously a dry setting, Justice made everything a darker and cooler.
Cooler in terms of cooler colors.
The design alone makes me look at Justice like it’s the pre-evolution of Barragan
from Bleach.
On the ability, I like being able to control anything.
It’s such a strong ability, and putting that together with being a fog-stand is ridiculous.
So, shout out to the stand espada.
The final stand in Stardust Crusaders, Death 13.
Design wise it didn’t completely transfer over from the tarot card, but it’s good
that it didn’t.
Since it didn’t, it wasn’t just another grim reaper iteration.
I love its jester mask, the extremely large robe that makes it seem like a huge stand,
and the color scheme.
Purple and gold works so well together, and it was used so well here.
Focusing on the detail that Araki had put into doing gold armor of the stand, it’s
one of the things that makes the stand just pop with some feeling of power and royalty
even though the stand is made to be childish in the fights.
It’s ability of dream world control is something that I do enjoy because I think of what Araki
could’ve been inspired by to make that into an ability in Jojo.
I also extremely enjoy the scythe that Death 13 uses.
Summing it up, colors of royalty, grim reaper inspiration, and a reasonably strong ability.
Moving on into Diamond is Unbreakable.
The first stand is going to be Crazy Diamond.
I don’t know what got me into liking the stand first.
The color scheme, heart armor which meets with Josuke’s character design, or it’s
extremely creative restoration ability.
The stand has such a lovely color scheme that I’d affiliate it with something based more
on being cheerful and cute, but it being used for this gigantic lethal shredded spirit makes
me love it even more.
A contrasting stand design really brings it out the feeling of the stand itself.
There was also the cover of chapter 368, where it’s Crazy Diamond holding that heart necklace
with his head overlapping the panel, and I feel like this is one of the best covers you’ll
see in part 4.
The definition on the neck and trap area along with the eyes that pop right at you when looking
at them.
This cover alone is one of the reasons I love Crazy Diamond.
I’d buy an official shirt if it had this exact cover.
On the restoration ability, I love how it requires Josuke learning and thinking about
how it could be utilized.
It’s not just capitalizing on his strengths, but creating new ways to answer to specific
situations.
For example, the glass heart being a distanced attack that was going back to Kira no matter
what.
Summary, great color scheme and design, great power, and amazing manga covers.
On to the next stand, and that stand is Heaven’s Door.
I have too many things to say at once for this stand.
Alright, odd note, I love how Rohan says Heaven’s Door.
There’s a couple sounds that give me extra life points and Rohan summoning Heaven’s
Door is one of them.
It goes along with how Kira says Killer Queen, Giorno with Gold Experience, or every time
Polnareff unleashes Silver Chariot on someone with an intent to eliminate.
I see myself saying it with them every time.
The design is great for being based around Rohan and mangaka interests, but what has
it altogether is the ability.
If you turn someone into a book, you have all information possible on that person.
Along with being able to do that, you can write in your own commands onto the person.
These commands go extremely far with how they can be used.
From breaking the laws of physics to being able to learn an entire language, all just
by writing a sentence down.
It’s insane, and I love everything about it.
I also love the design of the stand, and sometimes I think if that was due to Rohan editing the
stand because it’s not what we first saw when being introduced to Heaven’s Door.
That’s just a shower thought though so don’t take it as serious.
Final thoughts, phenomenal ability
and
great
stand design.
