8 is mostly pretty good it's just the ending is a mess. Huge parts of the WoU fight are kino too, particularly the rain storm and Josuke's last meeting with Holly. It's really just how it all ends abruptly and contradicting the flash forward.

>>287190821
Araki really fucked up when he made it so that riggers are antisocial and dont really have leader qualities, so its hard for someone like Tooru to be a stepup from Funny Valentine or something

Nah dude
Araki will probably fuck over Howler and give the fucking final boss status to another johnny come lately loser with a horrible design too.

Wtf ringo?? Any character that has an ability even a little bit stronger than a gun kills him easily. This is the type a list a jjk fan would make
>>
>>287199323
>Boingo
His predictions are absolute. And if his partners weren't comedic relief, the crusaders would've been wiped out without them even knowing an enemy was there to begin with. His major flaw is that he's just a child with no fighting capabilities of his own and he needs to rely on an accomplice and that their trust in his Stand is unwavering.
>Ringo
The ability to rewind time back to before an attack comes out (or in general) is insanely busted. He's mostly limited by his personal morals on wanting a fair fight, as well as needing his wristwatch as a psychological trigger.
>Gappy
His Stand is basically Killer Queen with Stray Cat's invisible detonating bubbles, with added movement and shielding utilities, and the ability to steal concepts like senses and friction on top of all that.
>Kira
See: Gappy, but without all the extra features. Though BtD is a strong ability in its own right, it's useless in direct combat or if his opponent doesn't care about his identity, which is why he ranks lower than Gappy.
>Risotto
Very few Stand users could counter someone with complete invisibility and the ability to turn the iron in your blood into sharp objects.
>>

>Boingo's just a child with no fighting capabilities
>Ringo's mostly limited by needing his wristwatch as a psychological trigger
Two INSANE restrictions right there. If Ringo gets his arm chopped off, he jobs. If his opponent can tank or deflect bullets, he jobs. Against basically any opponent with their own time ability, he jobs. And Oingo needs a competent, powerful ally to win, which he seems extremely bad at finding.
>His Stand is basically Killer Queen with Stray Cat's invisible detonating bubbles
When have his bubbles literally ever been as strong as Stray Cat's?
>the ability to stea-
Plunder is dead, chuddie.
>Gappy, but without all the extra features
First of all, Killer Queen beats the FUCK out of S&W. Second of all, I was talking about Part 8 Kira, who also gets his ass kicked by Part 4 Kira.
>Very few Stand users could counter someone with complete invisibility and the ability to turn the iron in your blood into sharp objects
In Part 3 alone, Avdol, Joseph, possibly Iggy, DIO and Vanilla ice would tank it, Enya, maybe Arabia Fats, N'doul, Boingo, Mariah, Pet Shop, and Kenny G.

It was always mid. It has some quintessential peak JoJo moments early on - it also has some in the final arc. But all in all, it wasn't that great. Not every fight is all that interesting, most of the ones that are have unsatisfying conclusions, and the plot and characterization is all over the place. It was just nonsense from start to finish.

The only people who thought it was good early on were the same retards who fall for JJ Abrams' mystery box shenanigans. Just write a plot with a bunch of mysteries in it and retards like you will jump up and down in your seat with anticipation and intrigue. I bet you could take literally any plot summary, to anything, and black out a few words, and sheep like you will be rubbing your chins and making YouTube videos and massive reddit posts about the "deep and complex" mystery being written.

So who would you have go on the list instead? Ultimate Kars? Josuke? Notorious B.I.G.? There's not that many options for stronger characters.
>>
>>287200516
>>287195622
If I had to make a list it would look something like this
>Kars
>Giorno Giovanna
>Jotaro Kujo
>Dio Brando
>Alt Diego
>Toru
>Weather report
>Enrico Pucci
>Diavolo
>Johnny Joestar
>Vanilla Ice
>Funny Valentine
>Kenzou
>Josuke Higashikata 8
>Rohan Kishibe
>Axl RO
>Midler
>Damo Tamaki
>Panacotta Fugo
>Iggy
>Forever
Now how JoJo's is written by araki makes it very hard to figure out the definitive strongest to definitive weakest as many times it's shown that different circumstances can result in very different results and then there are also many "unbeatable" stands like cheap trick or notorious BIG that could theoretically beat some of these characters and way too many variables to make an objective list, but I think I come very near as close as you can regarding this so if anyone has any questions or would like to dispute some positions I'd be more than happy to explain

>Kenzou
His own Stand actively conspires against him. That being said, he's still pretty powerful and F.F. only won because she's a freak of nature. Still wouldn't put him in top 20 though.
>Axl RO
Worthless against someone who's lived a good life or one without remorse. Also hard countered by freaking water.
>Midler
I honestly forgot about her. Yeah, I could see it.
>Damo Tamaki
A horrifying Stand, for sure. I could also see him being top 20 material, though I see him more as being just outside it.
>Panacotta Fugo
Potential man: the character. Cioccolata and Prosciutto have better AoEs.
>Iggy
Solid choice, only problem is he's a dog, and a lazy one at that...
>Forever
The main issue here is he's confined to a boat in the middle of the ocean.

This is why I was pretty critical of Part 8 early on (around 2014) because it just felt like a lot set up. Which I know those were in the earlier days of the entire thing but rather than moving things along or anything, I felt like it kept going "Ohhh what's this?!" and just left it dangling.

Biggest problem with Jojolion is the story is about "breaking a curse" but the emotional core of that is centered around a family of weird unlikable assholes. The whole breaking the curse thing and Josuke becoming his own person thing is basically telling us that Holly's not going to get healed, that she's not who the story is about. But unfortunately the ones who do wind up on top are the Higashikata family who are almost entirely unlikable.

Regarding kenzou despite his stand hating him all it did was inform the opponent of the ability, anything that goes wrong is kenzos own fault since as long as he works for it and makes sure to stay in his lucky spot he basically has his own mini wonder of u, the only way to beat him is to trick him into stepping outside his safe spot like ff did with the mirror, or make him physically unable to control his position by turning his legs into springs like anasui did.
>Axl RO
Name one character who Civil War is worthless against, he can only die by being third partied or by being killed by his own guilt which only activates if he kills you for some reason
>Fugo
Eh, I gave him the edge because of the conditions of the other aoe stands eith cioccolata needing you to go to a lower position and greatful dead being countered by an ice cube but like I said about the way power scaling in jojo works it's not set in stone and could go any way.
And for the rest I was a bit iffy about choosing these and I was just trying to think of characters that have insane defensive and offensive damage output that would be hard to beat, I could've put stuff like rubber soul, pet shop, or steely dan in there too since those are really strong as well
>>
>>287205935
Your list is a little sloppy but alright, but why the hell is bucciarati there?
>>
>>287207527
Bruno's there because his Stand ability is actually pretty busted in straight-forward combat. He could essentially kill you in one punch if he severs your head from your neck, and there's nothing you can do about it. He's got the same advantage as Secco and Damo has where they can easily incapacitate you with a single barrage. They just both beat Bruno in some way.
(Also, I think I forgot about Yuya Fungami)
>>
>>287207665
I just don't feel like he has the speed or strength to capitalize on it, it also seems pretty inconsistent and like he's only able to actually do that when the enemy is actually defeated, otherwise he could've just one tapped prosciutto or giorno
>>
>>287207793
He says during his interrogation of Giorno that he could easily knock his head off and kick it around to get information. And during the Grateful Dead fight, he never manages to get a clean hit off on Prosciutto's actual head, though he does come close. Also, it seems pretty apparent that he can control whether or not his zippers just separate body parts or saw a person in half; i.e. in Pesci's case.
>>
>>287207951
But he did land a good hit to his abdomen, why didn't he just sever his lower body from his upper half then? And I guess this isn't an argument against your claim but why didn't he just take giornos head off to interrogate him, why even give him a chance to fight back since it was completely possible he was a stand user
>>
>>287208189
>But he did land a good hit to his abdomen
I was going to cope and say "something something just trying to gain space, not incapacitate", but they actually mention it.
>why didn't he just take giornos head off to interrogate him
Because he's a good person :3
>>
>>287195622
Harvest is my prime example of a stand that would be terrifying but gets nerfed by its user. Those little bastards were able to inject alcohol into Josuke and Okuyasu without them noticing, now what if it was anything deadlier?
