Ringo Roadagain is one of the most beloved minor antagonist in the whole of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. And it is partly due to his unique philosophy on life that takes the form of what he calls "The True Man's World". I wanted to dig deeply into it's connections to the famous philosophical concept of the Übermensch.

i just realized Ringos time stand varies from every other time based stand in that hes not using it to avoid his fate, but rather to repeatedly challenge it until he meets his end. the true mans world

Ringo is the most relatable minor antagonist for me. I was also often sick and very weak as a child, so my mother always coddled me, but once hardships appeared in the form of worsening mental health, I decided to continually challenge myself through physical activity and education. In a way, I was in pursuit of the true man's world, but couldn't put it fully into words until I read Ringo's arc in SBR

Being bed ridden and weak. Being unable to protect those around you and never learning certain life lessons due to health issues. Self Isolation & wanting himself and others to be better, and not being limited by societal standards. Not wanting to be weak and conform to society. I relate to this character a LOT, maybe not ideologically- but comparing our lives. Even his power- reliving encounters/events and optimizing your reactions to be your best self, is definitely a reference to his nature, however I also have some self canon/projection about this based off of my own past. I believe this ability is also referring to the PTSD that people with fatal illness AND assault survivors experience- reliving their past- and possibly desiring to change that. That last stuff is pure speculation and headcanon- but still :) Great video.

3:07 Its important to note when the gun is laying on the floor between them, in this instant it has become an honorable and fair duel. The fact that it was a very duel like situation and not just any old kind of violence was important to the "fire in the eyes" awakening thing. I think Araki is trying to say something about how abuse messes up kids for life. But in this Jojo version of it, the encounter messed up Ringo not in a sexual way but in a way where he became addicted to death matches.

Mandom has always intrigued me because, to me, it almost looks like some kind of life support device, this weird little biomechanical mass with tubes running from his chest and neck. Given Ringo’s history with illness, it’s almost like Mandom exists not to give him power but to bolster his health so he can pursue his Path to the fullest.

Ringo is pretty overrated in my opinion, people give him way too much credit despite him having minimal screen time and having little to no impact on the rest of the story when villains like Risotto Nero exists, who had a lasting impact on the story and who was thought to be the major antagonist of the part until halfway through the story.

If you do, I'd love to see you do a video on Rikiishi Toru, who in my opinion exemplified the idea of The True Man's World. He's similar to Ringo Roadigan in how he inspires the main protagonist, Yabuki Joe, to follow down his own path of manliness and becoming a "hungry boxer".

I don't think Ringo's idea of "The True Man's World" is a philosophy unique to him, it's more of another way of explaining becoming completely focused on what you want, without being hampered by moral restrictions. Ringo's "True Man's World" is living life as a gunslinger, that's what he wants. I don't think Gyro is aims for the same kind of thing Ringo does, Gyro isn't a killer like Ringo points out, even if he becomes okay with it by the end of the fight. Gyro's "True Man's World" is teaching Johnny I like to think, the only thing that made him join the SBR was Marco, he wouldn't of otherwise, teaching Johnny is what he wants to do.

I like to thinks the heaven plan and ideology was the true man's world turn into eleven, because like the true man's world, heaven was a place when all uncertainty is erased from your life and you can live your life to it's fullest but the problem is not everyone deserves it and achieving it needed a powerful mental ability, so in essence the heavens plan was the true man's world + king crimson ideology of skipping the process that's why he is half successful. And i just love how an ideology from the previous part could shape the future part as a whole.
