At the moment, I’m on a conquest on righting all of the wrongs that I’ve made in previous
videos.
I’m not feeling some of the stuff that I have planned, so I’m going to hold off of
that for now.
I also want to practice what I preach of doing what you want so that’s what’s going to
be up for now.
So, one of the things that I would go against is my theory around why Jotaro and Dio had
the same stand.
Tarot cards are cool and all, but I don’t think they were used to the extent that I
used them for to make connections.
Plus, from what the narrative had gave me, I shouldn’t of came to those conclusions
to begin with.
So, instead what did I come up with.
Well, stands reflect their users usually, right?
Manifestations of our fighting spirit.
The most sensible thing to come from this as an answer would be that Jotaro and Dio
are similar people.
Now I understand, extremely large claim, but I promise you I got something going with this.
What differentiates these two characters is obvious.
They had completely different upbringings, different goals, different characteristics,
all of that.
Jotaro was just a High schooler until everything went down.
But I think that where there was a disconnect between Jotaro and the world, and that’s
probably where Jotaro started to show the not so nice traits that we commonly know him
for.
We don’t exactly know what the thing was to make him change so drastically, but I think
that’s where our answer lays as to why he’s like how he is and how his stand is since
it manifested after that character change.
So, now we have the Jotaro we know, and he's given a stand.
Why is he like Dio?
It’s in the behavior.
Well there’s some sort of duality going on between these two or even Jotaro and Jonathan.
Like how Giorno is supposed to be Dio but good, Jotaro is more so Jonathan but somewhat
bad.
Not bad to the extent of Dio though.
We also know that while both Jotaro and Dio have strong mental fortitude, Jotaro has the
stronger mind and that shows in his stand since he had been able to beat both Dio and
his stand power.
I’m able to understand as to why both of their stands
are that strong since they’re that similar, but the power of the stand is what’s odd
to me.
The fact that the stands are similar in strength makes sense, but for personalities to run
that deep to the point of where they both can stop time is interesting.
Though I can see this being a thing.
It’s potentially related to how both wanted control of their life and everything connected
so stopping time could be held close.
And, if Star Platinum is Jotaro’s prime stand across verse, and his personalities
always have that drive for control and responsibility so then I can understand that.
Now while they do have “the same stand” you notice a lot with the design choices.
Even with similar power, you can tell what the focus on characters was and I think that
goes to show the difference in personality.
The World’s stand design was more so a focus on Dio and the aspect of stopping time with
references to Holy Diver and the stand itself does have anything that flows.
Meanwhile you have Star Platinum with it’s flowing hair, scarf, and loincloth.
All things that move with the way that he wants to.
Little things like this gives a bit of symbolism to Jotaro’s ability to adapt so that things
work out in his favor at the end instead of having an extremely linear approach to things.
Another area where both Dio and him differ.
Though that’s just me thinking that out.
So long story short, they have the same stand because they’re personalities and mentalities
line up in multiple ways.
And adding onto why it’s like that, I don’t know personally.
Why
Jotaro had shifted up and became how he was has yet to be confirmed but I think that’s
going to stay hidden because mystery is an aspect of that character.
Who knows, maybe there were some complications with his father or something along
that line.
Maybe someone had done something to him that would normally shift people to
turn out like Dio, but
he took the other path.
