You know…
Stardust Crusaders is one of the parts I will think about a lot due to the potential I see
in the minor villains.
Later in future parts, stands are more developed compared to the early parts like 3 and 4.
I’m going to be going over all the stands that are underdeveloped to speculate what
they would be like at their peak.
Adding on to the series where we could see a stand be above even that.
The stand in question for this video is one of the more interesting stands in part 3.
That stand being Death 13.
This was the stand of Mannish Boy, a baby stand user.
Which was a very bizarre and creative thing.
The stand possessed the ability of Dream World Control.
When anything falls asleep around Mannish Boy, it’s game over.
Their already in the Dream World of Death 13 where the stand controls everything there.
That’s unless you have activated your stand before you went to sleep, because if so then
you can fight against Death 13 and possibly win against Death 13.
Reason on why I say possibly is due to Death 13 getting caught off guard by Hierophant
Green.
If Death 13 has control of the whole world, you would think that they would use that to
their advantage if they know their about to initiate a fight.
Instead of getting caught off guard and only working with it’s scythe.
The stand has a C in both destructive power and speed, a B in both Durability and Potential,
an E in range, and a D in precision.
The stand has room to grow, but what would we see from Death 13 if Mannish Boy had grown
up and was around the age of 18 or 20.
Off-topic: If we had him Part 6, he’d be around 23 years old, which I think is crazy
since it would’ve been nice to see him then if possible.
[Stand] Now on the Death 13, the stand has a B in
potential.
I was already speculating that Mannish Boy had matured mentally, but it being a B means
that there’s room for another stage to go so now it’s about figuring how it would
change next.
He states that he’s at the same mental capacity as anyone else there, but I don’t believe
using an unknown factor makes you a genius in this case.
You’re smarter than others in fact that you know about the unknown, and they don’t.
I will say that Mannish Boy could possibly just be as smart as some of the other enemy
stand users in Part 3, but depending on who you’re comparing that’s probably not a
lot.
Ha, ha, ha, ebony devil.
So, say that Mannish Boy has now grown, by the time he had grown, he’s basically already
a master of his stand by now since he would have over 20 years to work and craft his stand.
Along with that, he’d be nearing his peak as person due that being around your mid or
early twenties apparently.
Enjoy your time being young everyone.
Now, Araki says that stands are personifications of a user’s energy, which means that they
should match the user when it comes to developing things like resolve and will.
I can see development happening to Death 13 that would look similar to an evolution of
an act stand.
Except Death 13 not changing anything in it’s appearance, and it only being in it’s attributes.
I’ve went ahead and changed the Stats to what I think that Death 13 could’ve developed
into.
Power going from C to B, speed C to B, Durability possibly staying the same, could bring it
to an A though because it could change to be stronger since he’s in his prime at that
time, potential B to D, and range from e to c.
I would like to put his potential at E instead of D, but I don’t think that Mannish Boy
would meet some character development stuff to that level.
Now, onto the ability development.
But, right before that I have some important to say and means a lot to me…
Can you guys go to the description or pinned comment if it’s going to be there and go
vote for Suplex Kirby.
Fighter, Ghost, and Ninja didn’t make the cut so now Suplex is the sole survivor.
Plus, I want to see if it’s possible if we have enough influence to change a whole
poll like this.
That’s all.
Now on the ability development, I wanted to think that it would just become more potent
and effective as it went on, but I believe that it could develop into more than what
it was.
Death 13 required people to sleep to affect them, and I’d like to think that the range
would increase so he wouldn’t have to be directly near him.
For example, he could be in a hotel on the 2nd floor, and have the ability to affect
the dreams of someone on the 5th or 6th floor.
That would be the most sensible things to come out of the ability, but I was thinking
of what if it went past dreams in your sleep.
Daydream Control, if possible.
The ability to not take you out of your Dream and have it in the dreamworld, but to make
you question what is real and what is not.
Imagine you’re daydreaming and thinking about something, that’s where Death 13 strikes.
Though this control isn’t going to wear off just by you getting your focus back, imagine
that it requires you to be brought back by someone waking you up.
The reason why I thought of Death 13 manipulating daydreams is because he immediately becomes
one of the most threatening stands there is for those unaware, which he already was when
it comes to Stardust Crusaders.
Say that you daze off sitting in the middle of a restaurant and the fully grown Mannish
Boy was sent to end you.
He could sit a couple of tables away from you, and have control of the whole situation.
I also could’ve seen this working if it was in Jojo.
I could see a protagonist or supporting character sitting down in the middle of somewhere not
thinking of anything and then they look towards a table and see Death 13 walking towards them
in broad daylight.
They try to move, but they’re stuck where they’re sitting and can only see Death 13
coming towards them with his scythe.
Then right before Death 13 swipes, one of the supporting character taps the protagonist
or whoever this is happening to and they wake up, but when they wake up they’re screaming
and swinging everywhere.
The other characters didn’t see them being distraught during the slow attack of Death
13, they only saw them gazing into the distance and being perfectly fine.
That right there would be a terrifying moment for anyone because it turns what you thought
was safe to something you can’t even trust.
You’d like to think that if someone is coming for you in the daytime, it would cause an
uproar or something of the sorts, but to have a silent attack that no one can notice aside
from the victim is something that I could see being incredibly thrilling in Jojo.
That’s just my take on it though.
If you guys have any thoughts on how Death 13 works, I’d like to see the comments for
it.
If you guys want to draw out the scenario, that would be amazing.
I’ve had a couple of people draw for a scenario that happened in my Dio vs. Kars video and
I can wait to show it off in my next versus.
You guys are talented people, and I hope you all keep it up.
I’m getting back into drawing too.
I hope you guys enjoyed the video, leave a like if you did and subscribe to stay updated
if you’re new.
Please vote for Suplex in the Kirby poll, and follow me on twitter and twitch.
If you did vote, tweet me, I just want to see it all.
I’ll see you guys in the next one, until then, peace out and god speed.
