polpo: "keep the lighter lit for 24 hours" dude: "sure" proceeds to sit down polpo: "ok new rule"

The Olympic torch is just a massive jojo reference

Theoretically the smartest solution to the test is to leave the lighter in the hall to his prison. Probably underneath the observation camera. No one would come into the prison hall and Polpo probably wouldn’t even know it was there. The air in that room is still and quiet and the lighter has enough juice to run for 24 hours. Then the next day you come back to the prison, pass the guard check and just pick up the lighter. Granted, you wont get a stand through this process.

Giorno: Check this golden guy out. **Gold Experience T-poses**

Polpo: congratulations, looks like you pass the test. Mind if I ask how you got the lighter past the guards? Chiocolatta: I killed the guards.

Imagine how easy this test would be for Rohan. He could literally just Heaven's Door the guards to ignore him and just set the lighter up in a situation where it won't go out. Or he could Heaven's Door Polpo into thinking he passed even if he failed it

polpo: "keep the lighter on for 24 boi, and u get in" dude: "ok" **24 hours later** dude: "here, i keeped it on" polpo: "y...you actually did it... what about black sabbath?" dude: "black what?"

I wanna see an alternate Golden Wind where Giorno fails the lighter test and the janitor fights the whole of Passione with his newly gained Stand and becomes the boss.

You know, I just realized... Every member of Bucciariatti's gang had to pass Polpo's test to join. They could only do it if Bruno invited them first or if he informed them and went on their own (Like Narancia did). The result of the test is either death or a stand. Something of which only Bruno and possibly the other members are aware. How many people did he meet and make friends with only to later send them to their deaths at the hands of Black Sabbath? Seeing him interacting with all of them knowing they would very likely die later because of him suddenly becomes much more chilling.

What about option #4 ? Getting the lighter out of the prison through brute force, possibly killing a lot of guards, and then surviving a man hunt for 24 hours yet still finding a way to get back to the prison and return the lighter ?

so what happens if you go back to polpo and say something like "Trust is the most important thing, i wont lie to you, the flame went out" and give him back the lighter without ever relighting it. Does he just say like "oh well you failed get lost"?

"So, this flame." "Hmm?" "I must keep this particular flame alight, correct?" "Yes, those are the rules." "Ok." *Procedes to light a cigarette, and blows out the lighter.* "The flame is carried in my cigarette. I will return with it tommorow."

The beauty of Jojo 5 is how crime is portrayed as the savoir of the ones who social institutions supposedly dedicated to protect have failed, education in the case of Fugo, family in the case of Narancia, justice in the case of Abacchio and so on. The ones who can enter Passione are not only the best, but the ones who cannot find shelter in any other normal, decent institution. Is a common theme among crime dramas and Jojo 5 transcripts it beautifully to the anime/manga world.

You forgot an obvious option and one that's extremely involved with passione as well, killing the guards, doing so would land you a position under Risotto

Polpo (THICC BOI) can turn into a bed so easily best boy

Im conviced that polpo is an alien. Maybe same species with mikitaka. He shapeshifted, incredibly big, and... Polpo (octopus) always refers to alien for japanese

Since were talking about Polpo, I think that Giorno killing Polpo was one of the things that describes Giorno's character. He didn't plan to kill Polpo, he didn't even dislike Polpo at first until he had killed the old man. Giorno can be credited with how the plot was able to move forward by killing Polpo so they could get the treasure, but he didn't even know about the treasure until later. He killed Polpo because a human being had died and he didn't know and probably wouldn't have cared, and thats why Giorno killed him. He told Kiochi that he believed what he was doing was right, but he felt bad about it deep down so it shows his False Darkness view on his dream, he know Gangsters do bad things and could very well be bad people, however due to the situation in the city he lives its the only way to actually change things and help. This shows his mixture of Jonathan and Dio. He has a certain charisma that seems christ like, his immense cleverness and willingness to dovery dark things for his own objective which is Dio and his righteous honor, kind heart and love for other human beings which is Jonathan. In fact you even see his eyes turn gold when he looks back at Polpo's prison before Polpo kills himself which can be symbolized as Dio's color. Let me ask a quick question, who has the highest body count out of all the Jojo's before Giorno. Now Jotaro, someone who called his mother a bitch, wasn't a dark person in the sense that Giorno is, he killed the captain and Dio, but he didn't as much kill his opponents and much as beat them to death, but he did kill. Jonathan and Joseph mostly killed Vampire and not people. Josuke, now he didn't kill Angelo but he did trap him in stone and more than likely would have killed Kira and nearly killed Akira Otoishi but he mostly beat the shit out of guys. These Jojo's didn't have a high body count, but read part 5 from start to finish and you'll see that Giorno kills all of his opponents aside from Koichi and Buccellati, he makes a beetle pop out of a man's skull, though the fucker deserved it, even though he didn't have all that many fights anyway. After Giorno most of the new jojo's had a high body count, especially Johnny and Gappy(who can be psychotic in a manner)

Imagine a new jojo protagonist going through the series fighting stand users without ever getting a stand

Shigechi's evil cousin

Janitor stand theory discussion when?

In the flashback, a member of La Squadra (I think Illuso) says “speaking of useless abilities, (like Formaggio’s) where’s Sorbet and Gelato?” Which implies that one or both were stand users, albeit with “useless” stands

The lighter test is one of my favorite parts of golden wind. Both Koichi and Giorno were mere inches away from requiem stands, Echo’s Requiem could just be that whatever Koichi says becomes accepted as fact to anyone in range. Soooo close

How you prove your loyalty to SOX is wearing a pair of panties on your head for 24 hours without getting arrested by the decency squad.

I’m imagining if Giorno said he had this golden guy as a talent then just pull GE out and dab

Polpo having an automatic stand, one he literally cannot control, and cannot figure out what it does, killing a janitor led to the death of diavolo.

FIRST RULE OF POLPO`S TRAINING! DON'T TALK ABOUT POLPO`S TRAINING!

I still want to know how can Polpo turn into a bed and how did he regrew the fingers he ate.

honestly the story of what if giorno joins le squarda instead of buccelati gang would be interesting

7:47 wait a minute... does anyone notice that that guy's meant to be Mario the Italian Plumber..? please

*imagine if giorno was a member of La squadra* Risotto : "hey guys it's our new member, giorno" Giorno : "Hi guys" *a few days later* Risotto : "Polpo is dead, Buciaratti is the new capo, and he has to protect the boss' daughter. We should attack him so we can track the boss." Giorno : "So you guys don't like the boss too ? I've met Buciarrati, you should talk to him about that." Risotto : "That seems like a good idea." *few days later* Risotto : "Hey Bucciarati I heard you don't like the boss. That's also my case. Perhaps we should ally ?" Bucciarati : "Ok" *La Squadra and Bucciarati's gang killed the boss, Bucciarati, Abbachio and Narancia are dead because Rolling stones, and Risotto is currently the boss*

I'd like to see the story with Giorno as a member of la squadra too.

I have a theory that Polpo and Black Sabbath may not have always been as we see them now. It's unlikely that Polpo could rise in the ranks with his body as it is and a remote stand that has the potential of strengthening his enemies. It's more likely that Sabbath used to be a more traditional stand, like it was maybe longer ranged and could jump through shadows, and that Polpo was a more normal looking person when he entered the gang. Ge definitely didn't have the arrow in his mouth to start. When he became capo, Diavolo gave him an arrow with which Polpo was to create stand user grunts with. At this point, Polpo was a high-ranking mafioso who probably lived in excess, so when he was given this stressful task as a direct (or as direct as it can be) order from the boss, his stand evolved and absorbed the arrow like Kira. Black Sabbath went through a weird mini-requiem, gaining the ability to grab souls and a remote behavior, and Polpo changed his body over time to fit his slothful ability.

I'd love to see how a young Joseph Joestar would try to pass this test.

*Polpo is one T H I C C B O Y*

You know what would be a badass series? Someone taking fan's stands and seeing how well they'd do in the Lighter Test. Imagine how much fun we could have....

I still find it bothersome, that someone actually capable of smuggling the lighter is punished with not getting a stand and a seemingly lower position.

My question is why didn't Giorno just keep it as a flower until he got back 🤷🏾‍♂️

Crap, now I want to see what would’ve happened if Giorno was placed with La Squadra instead. Theorists and fanfic writers, do your thing.

T posing Golden Experience always cracks me up.

Isn't there a 3rd flaw? If you already had a stand, and you reignite the lighter, you will have to face-off against Black Sabbath which is arguably pretty strong (depending on the shadow and location you are at).

You also discount the possibility of someone failing to keep the flame lit, and returning to Polpo to return the lighter without attempting to relight it and admit defeat. This outcome would show the person could be trusted to be truthful, even when that truth is not favorable to them. Such dependability is important in a criminal organization.

Three years later and this video is still great. Also, La Squadra member Giorno AU is an amazing concept and I would love to see it too.

Waitaminute... In Narancia's origin story, it says that he went to visit Polpo unbeknownst to anyone, and passed. WHO GAVE HIM THE INVITE??? Did he just use his stand to find Polpo? How would he know how to find him?

I thought the title was "The Structure of Polpo's Litmus Test."

Your personal avatar is so cute with their little book and blushes

I did the phone version, you have to dedicate your whole day to it. It was a lot harder than I expected

Wasn’t expecting Madlib in the intro- much respect

Gold Experience T-Posing is something I never thought I'd see

A Risotto`s squad story would be awesome also I'm curious how Diavolo recruits his guards cause Notorious B.I.G was only activate when his user dies so what requirement do you need?

You thought the only real test of trust was whever or not you actually bought a copy of Shimonetta... but that's just the fake test, the real test is whether or not you bought a Meti shirt.

Why does nobody talk about hOW HE BECAME A BED AND IT JUST WASNT EXPLAINED

What would happen if you close your eyes, extenguish and relight the lighter, in a crowded area and open your eyes after ther reignition so you wouldn't have seen it but dozen/hundreds of people around you did.

Keeping a lighter lit for 24 hours does not sound easy to anyone who's ever used a lighter

Would be hilarious if someone got a good stand and returned the lighter which is still off "sorry Polpo I failed" "oh good day to you then" and then the guy left Italy to make money with his stand lol

“Oh shit I dropped the lighter” *Black Sabbath appears*

Meti this is a great video, keep up the good work.

What if polpo is risotto's dad bc they have the same red eyes and powerful/deadly stands. Risotto probably got his high rank from his father.

Great, now I really want to see a version (or read a fanfic) of what would of happened if Giorno joined La Squadra. The sounds amazing and I absolutely loved Risotto as a character even though he was quite a minor one. Thanks :/ Very well done video regardless, I especially loved how you broke down each answer to the test would result in a different position in Passione.

I just realized he was holding a shimoneta manga, a man of culture

I really like how well thought out your analysis was! It really makes you appreciate the writing of Jojo more

I want to sleep on Polpo

New episode later today.

One of your best videos yet, Meti.

i love how you post this video as soon as this arc is done (in the anime i mean),so that we can go back and really understand it. I hope you do this throughout part 5.

Polpo: you got any talents? Small blond boi: Yeah check this G O L D E N guy out

*Wait, It might just be me but I don't remember you having that avatar. Is it new?*

What aboug people who's lighter goes out, and they bring the unlit lighter to Polpo. I'd like to imagine that if this happens, Polpo sees that this person has a heart of gold, and lets them join, as they are honest, and by extension, trustworthy.

Mad respect to Leaky-Eye Luca for managing to smuggle a lit lighter out of prison, and keep it ignited for 24 hours.

Don't let this distract you from the fact that there's *Polpo hentai* out there.

If our golden boy was to join LA Squadra, that would be amazing. That is a spin off that I would buy no doubt.

Brilliant analysis. Thank you.

I don’t understand how he can shape shift into a literal bed

9:54 i want to see a fan mangga about that story

Alright, but I would also like to see a alternative universe where Giorno joined El Squadra instead of Bruno's group

Polpo’s test is my favorite part of Part 5 along with the White Album fight, good to see you talking about it

Fat friend: gives me lighter Me: lights it Black Sabbath: yo wassup

Persona music in a JoJo video, huh? I see what you did there. Also, great vid. :)

Simply recreate the lighter with an excruciating amount of detail. And avoid relighting the one that will trigger black sabbath. Although you would need to know that stands exist in the first place.

Wouldn’t that mean that if the arrow pierced Giorno he would’ve gotten GER in like the beginning of JJBA?

Giorno with La Squadra and Risotto as a jobro sounds very scary but interesting I want it lmfao

Wait, could you, theoretically, stay in the jail? Do you have to leave? If you can bribe the guards into allowing you to stay, would that count?

why didnt giorno just place the lighter in his hair rolls?

Imagine if you just released Black Sabbath while trying to take it out of the prison and you as well as the guards all got stands

The way I thought of it was that either you become a stand user or you've proven your dedication to the gang

Plot hole: gold experience was hurt by the arrow that black sabath carried in his mouth..... why he didnt became requiem?

Came so early that quality is still bad Feels good

I would be the guy who let it go out and never relight it and just hand polpo back his extinguished lighter

the little characture of you in the bottom left reading shinmoetta is the perfect reaction to reading shinmoetta

You must protect the flame for the next 24 hours Ok *Sits just outside the cell for 24 hours*

This test is way too easy for gamers. If you never do anything aside from play games at home, then what can logically put out the fire? - Fan? Just don't turn it on. - Wind? Your inside a house just don't open the shutters. - Sweeping motion? Just put it in a corner and don't go near it. The only hard part at this point is the prison guards, but let's be honest, what gamer hasn't learned a million different ways to break in/out of a prison?

Golden experience has already touched this banana.

Can't wait to find out about Polpo's heavier test

Part 5 would have been so short had black Sabbath just stabbed giorno and we got GER like 4 episodes in...

wait if Giorno had let himself get stabbed by shadow sabath wouldn't he have gotten requiem really early ?

Haha I loved your intro!

I HAVE A QUESTION!! Does anyone know if or where I can access those charts of the passion gangs?? Like you know where it says "operative" and has all the squads associated with that operative? I find that really interesting and wanna figure out which teams/rogues fall under which operatives. So if anyone knows where I could find something like that, please leave a reply

Why couldn't you just leave the lighter in the prison?

7:19 reverb requiem could have been born

I'm just amazed at the engineering of a lighter being able to stay on for 24 hours
