How did I forget to mention that Pucci moves during Jotaro’s Time Stop in Stone Ocean😂 But I hope you guys enjoy, if you did, consider leaving a like subscribing and commenting what you think below. Also, check out my other JJBA video here: kzfaq.info/sun/PLG-HM6SKDn19jg0inuUwECcES8QQmjred

Throughout the part 3, there have been hints of his sheer speed basically allowing him to move in stopped time, like him beating Geb in speed and him getting the drink in front of Darby. I personally believe that Jotaro basically brute forced his way into stopped time, kinda of like a speedster

this is a very nice theory, but i have another one that i consider to be the real reason why jotaro has the time stop. fate was shown to be a physical force in the jojo universe that nobody can escape. some people (example: diavolo) try to overcome it, but it always leads to it backfiring at them eventually in someway. and fate was also shown to be on the side of the joestars at the end of each part because like emporio said in part 6 "following the just path is in it of itself fate" which is what the Joestars have been doing all the time. since they always follow this path, fate grants them the necessary strength to overcome hardships and defeat evil like we've seen with gold experience requiem having the ability to revert all actions into their null state which counters king crimson's ability. i believe this is also the case for jotaro. fate granted him the power to defeat evil.

I feel like araki wanted to keep the time stop ability around cause it's so cool but he couldn't keep dio alive so he gave it to jotoro

Another explaination is that Star Platinum's ability (The Star) is that he can (like the "up facing" Star card in the Major Arkana) adapt to any situation by renewing oneself. The Star is also driven a lot by Love, Hope and Faith. Star Platinum is famous for always having a new ability every time it is shown. But it always comes as a defence to others rather than a personal desire, which is the case with The World. 1) He developed great fighting skills because Jotaro was a fighter by nature, so, he should have a stand that can help him win fights. 2) He tried to shoot himself, but Star Platinum had the speed to catch the bullet. 3) He developed Star Finger when he needed increased range to fight against the Sea Captain with his Deep Blue Moon stand (To protect the girl). 4) He developed high detail vision when he needed to zone in on Dio's location (To protect his Mother) 5) He developed surgical precision to remove Flesh Buds (To protect Kakyoin) 6) He developed the lung capacity to suck an entire town's worth of fog in order to defeat Enyaba's Judgement stand (to protect Polnaref) 7) He developed the speed to fight Silver Chariot without hurting Polnaref (during the Anubis fight) 8) He developed Time Stop (Star Platinum-The World) to protect his grandfather, Joseph as it was pretty much the only way he could defeat Dio (Silver Chariot was around about as fast as Star Platinum and he sneak attacked Dio "IN THE BRAIN" and he actually landed that hit... and he was still fodderised by The World's time stop). He also developed it faster... it took Dio years to get 5 seconds of timestop, it took Jotaro a few hours to get 2 seconds. 9) He saw that Pucci could shorten his time stop with his Made In Heaven stand, so he got an even longer timestop for his very final use of the ability (to protect his daughter). It was only long enough to get Jolyne out of danger and not long enough to defeat Pucci. Jolyne was the only person to walk away from that alive (albeit briefly) besides Emporio. The Star, The World and The Tower are referenced in the Stargazer song by the band Rainbow, which was sang by Dio's namesake "Ronnie-James Dio": (Found here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qbl5jaWEs97GZWg.html ). Dio is the wizard who fooled the people (his followers) into following him and contributing to his dream, which was to build a Tower above the land of Egypt, after which he would fly off to the Heavens (Dio's Heaven Plan) which was his Star in the sky, he climbed to the top of The World, but he fell before that Star instead of flying, shattering the hopes of his followers who waited 9 years to see the wizard fly. After they realised that they'd been tricked, they had to continue on and find a new purpose. Here are some lyrics to the song I linked: "All eyes, see the figure of the Wizard as he climbs to the Top Of The World, no sound as he falls instead of rising. TIME STANDING STILL, then there's blood on the sand... Oh, I see his face.... Where was your Star, was it Far, was it Far"? The design of The World (the stand) was also likely a reference to another song by Ronnie-James Dio, Holy Diver. The song is here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/idygirWdr7-aiYU.html Here are some scattered lyrics from various parts of the Holy Diver song: 1) "Holy Diver, You've been down to long in the midnight sea.... (Dio spent 100 years underwater) 2) Holy Diver, you're the star of the Masquerade, no need to look so afraid... Jump, Jump, Jump on the Tiger, you can feel his heart but you know he's mean, SOME LIGHT CAN NEVER BE SEEN (He see's himself as the star of the masquerade, as in, he feels entitled to have the world, but he's always being chased by the cat/tiger that the song is referring to, aka, the Joestars). There's some light that can never been seen (He's a vampire, he will never see the light). 3) Got Shiny Diamonds, like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue, something is coming for you, race for the morning, you can hide in the sun till you see the light.

im still finding it funny that kakyoin got donuted and yeeted into a water tower to figure out the worlds power and kira just got barraged once by sp and 'ITS ALMOST AS IF HE STOPPED TIME!' 😂

Star Platinum should not have kept getting nerfed

I remember reading a theory somewhere, I think maybe on Reddit, saying that time being stopped is only capable by extremely fast stands such as The World and Star Platinum that are able to reach a certain speed, basically implying Jotaro vs Dio is a battle of speed. Since Dio is a vampire with increased strength, he’s able to move faster and improve his speed overtime which leads him to move fast enough to stop time for 10 seconds for example, while Jotaro only being a human is only able to move fast enough to stop time for 5 seconds or so. This could explain why the only other stand user who’s been able to move in stopped time is Pucci with made in heaven since his whole ability is about speed.

It would make sense if Jonathan’s body had a stand because I do not know where DIO keeps his knifes.

Theres many examples of similar stands, especially if the users share a blood relation. Even within the same part we say that the darby brothers had nearly identical stand abilities. Jotaros star platinum could always stop time, he just hadn't had enough time to discover this ability and mainly relied his stands speed and power in fights, while dio focused more on training his time stop over his other abilities.

I do like this theory but I truly believe that it’s just a case that Star Platinum and the World both just are the same type of stand. There are examples of people manifesting stands with the same or similar abilities. Joseph’s Hermit Purple and Jonathan’s stand are the same type of stand with the same ability as they are stands that represent Hamon potentially being the source of Hamon. Ball Breaker is mentioned as a Stand of the Spin and was achieved, used, and even researched by past members of the Zeppeli family. Tomb of the Boom is another example of different people having the same type of stand and the two Rats from part 4 manifested the exact same stand and when Giorno cloned the turtle both turtles had the same stand ability at the same time.

I wanna compliment your theory with something and it's that the capabilities of a stand is often related to the type of person the stand user is. The best example is King Crimson, as Diavolo doesn't admit defeat ever, in fact he crumbles at the thought of having to ever lose in his life, so his stand changes his fate, he defies fate so hard that he ends in an eternal loop where the outcome is always the same. Jotaro and Dio share the same fundamental trait, they take anything they want, no questions asked because they deserve it, they believe in their strength. There's a key difference of course, because Jotaro tells Kakyoin how he commits crimes with no guilt, but he doesn't see himself as evil, because there is true evil and that's not what makes him like that, that's just him being stubborn, unlike Dio who was ready to do anything for power. But other than that, they are the same people, they even share the same fate: Killing a member of each other's family, but years later being prosecuted by their legacy and killed (then Jolyne's legacy, which was Emporio, killed Pucci and ended the idea of Dio). This trait is so powerful it gives them the power to stop the world, Jotaro doesn't rename the ability, he takes the world from Dio and says it every time: This is my world and I can do whatever I want. The more I want it the more I can pause time, that's why a weak and recently comatose Jotaro reached his longest timestop in his last battle against Pucci, he now had someone to care for more than anything, his spirit was at its peak, no wonder why Araki calls it the strongest stand.

Stands are based off the users fighting Spirit and it's showing very well, that that spirit is heavily linked to their talents and passions as well as their nature as a person. If you ask me, I think Jotaro and DIO just have the same kind of stand because they are similar people on some really deep level deeper than their moral selves or their presentation first off, both DIO and Jotaro are extremely analytical, both have anger issues, both are fast thinkers (which I honestly think is probably the biggest key to this, thinking so fast through a situation that's almost like time stops and that second limitation is ultimately how much you can thank yourself through that situation In a mere flash of a moment which is the stopped time. The stand ability pretty much just gives the agency within that flash itself, but as fast thinkers Jotaro didn't need it that much before, but what if he does think he has used it multiple times before, without even realizing it if only mostly to think through the situation.) also, it's kind of implied that Jotaro probably has a bad relationship with his father in the same way DIO did, DIO also shows resentment towards his father for how he treated his mother showing Dio was abit a mamas boy, and Jotaro literally killed DIO for his mom so kinda makes sense.

Pretty good analysis. Though the conclusion that everyone can stop time, provided their stands have an A in speed and strength, seems a bit off to me. But the fact that almost all the main villains with the strongest stands in this series also gain some sort of time manipulation ability throughout their own journeys, does seem to lend it credence. I've seen another theory that goes 'Jotaro's true ability is to copycat other stands, he just doesn't do so because he doesn't know/believe it hard enough', and to me it seems just as likely. The videogame seems to back it up too. Yeah, I know that 'Eyes of heaven' isn't canon, but setting that aside, seeing jotaro magically get himself a heaven stand just because dio has one, felt like a massive asspull, even more so than the original, but if Jotaro's original ability from the start was just to copycat, then it would make sense that he could get himself a heaven stand the moment he saw one. Overall I'm left feeling a little conflicted between which theory to beleive, but I'm leaning more towards yours than the other one.

Nice video, i hope that you become a great youtuber one day considering how you're pretty good at doing vids what background music were you using? Its familiar but i cant seem to remember

Would've been cool if the mobius strip speeds up Jolyne to a point for her to stop time.

He can use TW for the same reason Dio could use Hermit purple's spirit photography. They were linked. It was also the first part that had stands and Araki did a lot of experimenting.

im pretty sure its because When jonathans body sent out the distress signals it made them get similar stands to dio and jonathan (Hermit purple and star platinum) what i mean is that weve seen jonathans stand and its very similar to josephs so maybe jotaro could get a stand similar to dio

Ay, great video! Really good editing and also great analysis since a lot of people like to say it's just luck.

Hell underrated channel. Just got a new subscriber mate

"the worldo" lmfao

Jonathan Joestar's body that passes on the spiritual connection when DIO awakened his Stand.

Star platinum was going to be named the world but dio took the name

People can say that it’s an ass pull for plot convenience, but I genuinely think stopping time is a good fit as a power for Jotaro’s personality. As it seems that stands really don’t care if you are fully developed, we see that even when kids have stands, they reflect what they’ll be later in life. Which doesn’t make sense personality wise but considering how fate and destiny are so integral to JoJo, it makes sense. So DIO can stop time cause he was stuck at the bottom of the ocean for a hundred years. For him time stopped for him and him alone, he was alone. In his own little world. When he emerged, he was a man out of time, but still with that god complex for him to rule the world, have total control. Do as he pleases, have nothing to fear. No one can move against him. He’s also a vampire, so in a way he’s timeless. He’s a man stuck in the past, and the future, and toys with the present moment. So he can stop time with The World. Jotaro was a seventeen year old kid who’s whole world got turned upside down, his mothers life was put in danger, he met his grandfather for the first time, he felt like he was possessed by an evil spirit, he had to go on a 50 day journey across the world to fight a vampire and kill him, while under constant attack, made the best friends he’s ever had, and wasn’t there to see most of them die. He was constantly against the clock, racing and rushing. And after all that he would forever remember that, be stuck in those 50 days in his head, haunting him. Wishing he’d had more time with them, wishing he could be everywhere at once move freely around the world, keep it safe. To have no fear of all the threats that lurk. To no longer get jumped and attacked. To have enough time to fix everything. He also wanted to keep the world out of DIOs hands, to remove his control and stain. So Star Platinum The World, can stop time. Of course, neither got everything they wanted, DIOs world got invaded and torn asunder, him along with it. Jotaro could only stop time, and quickly intervene, not rewind it. So long story short, Jotaro being able to stop time = fitting.

Excuse me sir, I'm a music nerd and that Jojo beat is absolutely fire. Could some please direct me to it? Thank you. Edit: nvm I checked the description. Great video. Also, SP never had an "ability." Super punches and star finger led one to believe that there was something... More to this stand. I always belive araki had this in mind. Even tw and sp's designs are similar. Usually i have a problem with ass pulls, but i think thia is why to many this didnt feel like one.

Great video man! New sub here for sure!

I think the stopping time thing is just a Jo star thing and dio could do it bc he’s in Johnathan bottles

king crimson stops time

It’s either Za Wārudo or The World. You cannot combine the two.

So it's a bit on that direction, but not exactly The main thing I disagree is a little point. It's not the "mind set + buff stand = time stop" is more like "mind set -> the stand " Like the Will of the character is what determines their stand capabilities Then Dio and jotaro's mind set gave them a buff guy that stops time And josuke's Will Gave him a buff guy that can regenerate things The question that both options bring is that : Wtf was the mind set of the wheel of fortune's user to get the same ability as a Monkey? They both have the ability to upgrade technology and control its form. The difference is that they used different objects

My head-cannon Is that Time stop isn't The Worlds true power, Its Star Platinum's power. What The World *can* do is this: Copy the power of any of the Joestars stands. Dio has always taken everything from the Joestars, so why would abilities be out of the question? Its why he can use Hermit Purple as well. If Josuke where there somehow, he would be able to restore as well. Dio (In spite of his name.) Has always been a similar character to Lucifer if you ask me, and Lucifer infamously can only produce inferior copies of Gods works. Same situation here.

This also means that The World can use Star Finger.

The one dislike was from Dio.

I want to point out that Diego Brando was able to use The World to stop time for 5 seconds whereas Jotaro was limited to 2 to 5 seconds depending on his physical condition. The implication here is that Star Platinum has a weaker time stop than The World.

bro its not that complicated star platinum must have an ability and that ability happens to stop time bucz every stand must have

Many people say here that really fast stands like SP and TW, even Made in Heaven, are capable of moving in stopped time. But MIH having that feat isn't exactly right. Firstly, only C-Moon was able to just subconsciously see in stopped time and dodge the spear, while Mih gets surprised when he sees Jotaro time stop and teleport in front of him after Pucci cut his neck. If he saw him in stopped time like before, he wouldn't need to react to him and would immediately dodge, like he did with the spear. And secondly, Mih's ability isn't to make Pucci himself fast, but to make time move faster. Meaning Pucci has his normal speed from his perspective, he isn't light speed or anything, Jotaro's group is just slow as snails compared to him. MIH's ability and goal is to have the end of the universe and the birth of a new one come early, not in billions of years, but just like 30 minutes, without people dying so that they live through all their future and know their fates in the new universe.

"The worldo"

plot armour or related to jonathan stand i guess

I'd have to disagree with this theory not only because imo it's a bit farfetched to begin with, but also based on the fact that assuming time stop is a trait that generally can be developed by anyone capable, it implies that Jotaro and DIO have Stands that don't have unique abilities. I would imagine Araki wouldn't leave his most iconic JoJo and most iconic villain without proper abilities but rather a universal ability that anyone is capable of, so I highly doubt this is the case. It would also just be an odd thing to imply that anyone can time stop, but never truly develop the idea any further in another character in any of the many parts proceeding I'd imagine if this theory were truly the case, then it would probably be treated like (Fut. Sigh.) Haki in One Piece where you have your unique ability, but also this universal one on the side, and most of the strongest in the world commonly possess it Also 4:09 none of the light novels are canon. If you wanted a proper source for Jonathon's Stand being similar to Hermit Purple, you could site chapter 9 of SC 👍

Jotaro speed blitzes everyone (except for MIH) after part 3, meaning that getting on par with Star Platinum in speed and thus being able to stop time is really rare (probably impossible) for anyone else apart from Dio and Jotaro

Ngl, Jotaro can just Timestop too and since TW used it first he just took the Name over.

What if star platnuim reqruim can duplicate other stand abilities like star platnuim: king crimson etc,

so its the same of stand as GER

It was basically the same stand.

Jotaro versus GER, ah I see, so Star Platinum and Golden Experience Requiem are the same type of stand.

I am surprised this vids is 5:50 mins long the answer is simple it is because Dio pissed Jotaro off.

3:01 W opinion

Maybe The word and star platuim is siniral stand but evovle in other way The word Have got More time stop but is weaker that star platuim Star platuim is oposide of the word stroger fisicly but worst in Time stop becose he din't know of it (P.S you gona find some Bad english here in this)

Like 13 👍👍👍👍🙏🏽 please stay connected

Because onaji taipu no stando da

I like this theory... however, I do not think Crazy Diamond or Stone Free could stop time. I feel what allows both Star Platinum and The World to stop time is not only there being similar stands as in both are close range power, but also due to both having immense speed and strength. Not only do they have to believe they can do it, but there stands also need to have the specific necessary qualities. While Crazy Diamond is close, it is not faster as Star Platinum (I don't beleive) and Stone Free is both not as fast and also much weaker than Star Platinum.

People can say that it’s an ass pull for plot convenience, but I genuinely think stopping time is a good fit as a power for Jotaro’s personality.
