Indeed.
So I just had a thought that I wanted to share. What if The World's power WASN'T to stop time?
We see Dio's acquisition of a stand causing the Joestar family to all try to develop Stands right? And killing him causes those who would die from their stands to stop being killed by them. We are told this is because he's in Johnathan's body and because Johnothan's body has a stand his kids are developing stands as well, but what if that isn't the case? After all, we never see this happen in other stand user families after this... In part 3, Dio uses two distinct stand abilities, the power to stop time, and the power to mimic Hermit Purple, both of which just so happen to match the stands of his active stand using blood connections...
Now for the theory, what if The World's power is actually to activate the stands of anyone Dio's body is related to, and copy any abilities that manifest? It would explain quite a bit in my opinion, and it seems like a fitting power for someone like Dio to develop...
Huh... That's what I get for theorizing without reading the fucking manga.Pucci and his twin brother both develop stands when pucci is pierced by the arrow.
So does anyone watch Hamon Beat? YouTuber that discovers the themes of the series and debunks series misconceptions.
The fact he's so freaking calm throughout his videos is really something.
From what I heard, The World was DIO's stand and it had the power to stop time. The Hermit Purple-like Stand was Johnathan's Stand.
