JOJO: Bizarre Adventure
Chapter 148 The Substitute's Rant 7
As for when to write the main storyline, I've already come up with the outline; I'll definitely do it next time.
--------
Stand Name: Yellow Submarine
Main body: Ringo Starr
Destructive power A
Speed A
Range B
Endurance A
Precision B
Growth potential E
Ability: A medium-to-large submarine that can be fully controlled by the Stand user, equipped with a weapon system of a certain strength (destructive power A), with a top speed of over 70 kilometers per hour (slightly faster than "Highway Star", hence the A rating).
To put it bluntly: it's exaggerated.
That's ridiculous, this stunt double is amazing.
I don't even know what designing such a stand-in means to me.
This thing is truly capable of single-handedly confronting a modern army.
Don't worry, Captain Ringo will have a role later on, and we'll add more backstory if possible.
After all, although they had appeared before, they were basically just extras.
"As a single sailor in his forties, Ringo Starr is a man with a story."
"We all know that old sailors have no shortage of experience and superstition."
These two sentences may seem like a joke, but they actually have meaning.
Then there's this song, a classic track by The Beatles.
In fact, all of The Beatles' songs can be considered classics.
There are many interpretations of this song.
Some say he opposes drugs, while others say he criticizes war.
I don't know what he was trying to say; I was just a listener.
--------
Stand name: DaDaDa
Main body: Anton Valodya Smirnov
Destructive power B
Speed B
Endurance A
Range A
Precision C
Growth potential D
Abilities: Marks targets visually; when there is an independent water source near the target, the Stand can use the water source as a medium to monitor and attack it remotely.
The Stand's arm can be extended and regenerated significantly. Depending on the size of the water source section, the size of the Stand part that is transferred to it will also vary.
Complaint: After I designed this ability, I put it in this part, but I have no idea how to deal with it.
I hadn't published the book when I wrote this part, so I hadn't written anything for a long time.
Because this ability is too strong, it's impossible to fight an encounter in an unfamiliar city.
So I had to change my approach and think about using a deus ex machina.
It just so happened that I was rewatching Teacher Jue's Thriller Paradise at that time, and that's how the story of Dickson City came about.
Although it's a deus ex machina, it can't just happen directly; there still needs to be a proper process.
I have to say, this Stand is the first one that forced me to use Deus Ex to solve.
Because in this process, the abilities of only four people were simply not enough to solve his problem.
And you can't just lower your wits like you would with a "red light and green light" rule, since you're several kilometers away and there's almost no chance of being exposed.
I really don't know how to fight him anymore. You guys can think of some ideas and post them in the comments section.
Let's move on to the next one.
--------
Stand Name: Bloody Mary
Ontology: Chino Kuzneev Sokolov
Destructive power E
Speed E
Range C
Endurance A
Precision D
Growth potential D
Ability: By conceiving information about a person in one's mind and calling out that person's name three times in front of a mirrored object, one can teleport that person to one's face.
The mirror surface area must be at least larger than the frontal cross-section of the object being transported.
Appearance: A woman dressed in a medieval-style red dress, with a pale face, exaggerated makeup, and bleeding from her seven orifices.
Comment: I admit, this was inspired by Teacher Jue's character.
How can something done by a scholar be called stealing?
Of course, I made some modifications.
I won't say much about the stand-in.
However, there are a few points to mention regarding the story.
Crime and Punishment and Crime and Punishment: Past and Present are the first background stories I wrote in this book.
Personally, I think the later backstory is gradually getting better.
However, when writing these two pieces, I was either rusty or didn't want to write too many words, which made me feel a bit top-heavy.
Compared to the more detailed descriptions at the beginning, the ending feels somewhat rushed.
The story structure and logic also have some problems.
But I personally still really like this kind of story.
I don't know if you guys feel it, but this is actually a tragedy.
Kino may seem to have gotten his revenge, but in the end, everyone met a tragic end.
I once said that the background story should be a tragedy, and 90% of them are tragedies.
Because if a person's first half of life goes smoothly, then there's nothing to write about.
Kino might appear later, and perhaps he'll have a role.
--------
Stand name: Don't guess (he гaдan)
Original form: Akshere (Fishman race)
Destructive power A
Speed B
Range B
Endurance B
Precision C
Growth potential D
Ability: To interfere with the perception of something by others, making them perceive it as exaggerated or underestimated.
Comment: A master of sneak attacks and ambushes, but unfortunately he ran into the peak "Platinum Star".
You should know that although this is Jotaro in his twenties, I set him up to be a peak-level, time-stopping platinum character.
This ability was actually very strong, but it's not a pity that he died.
He also successfully expanded the diversity of species.
--------
Stand Name: Shadow of the Sun
Main body: Maslow Durand
Destructive power E
Speed C
Range B
Endurance A
Precision D
Growth potential D
Ability: To alter the light rays refracted on the surface of an object, making it impossible to observe directly.
The maximum length of the object being altered must not exceed twenty meters, and only one object can be affected at a time.
A sarcastic comment: The god of smuggling in ancient Greece.
With god-like driving skills and stealth ability, he can appear and disappear without a trace, leaving even the most skilled thieves empty-handed.
Maslow Durand, the strongest driver in Hell, is known as the "God of the Caucasus Mountains".
--------
Stand Name: Bell Song
Body: Meru Cormon
Destructive power E
Speed D
Range B
Endurance A
Precision E
Growth potential D
Ability: By making the bells inside the body ring, it can mentally corrupt targets that hear the sound.
Appearance: Bent legs, no arms, deformed and hollowed-out torso with a one-meter-tall bell inside, and a yellow sphere as its head.
Comment: That's right, you're absolutely right, not at all wrong.
That's weapon A.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, you can search it up, but don't take it too seriously.
Taking things too seriously is pointless.
We should watch less of things that pollute our minds and be obedient.
So let's skip to the next one.
--------
Stand Name: The Me You See - Carrying My Bags
Body: Tanshan fish
Destructive power B
Speed B
Range D
Endurance B
Precision C
Growth potential D
Ability: Can distinguish between Stand users and ordinary people; when the ability is activated, Stand users will change color in its eyes.
It can temporarily boost one of its own or another Stand's stats (destructive power/speed/range/endurance/precision) to the highest level (peak A).
While using the above abilities, you can dispel special negative effects on the target for a short period of time.
Rant: What, you're saying this chapter 142 is already filler... oh no, I already complained about it once?
It's alright, it's nothing, I don't care about such trivial matters.
(Hey! This is obviously padding the word count! It's so obvious! Doesn't the author have any shame?!)
(Holy crap, could the person upstairs be the infamous Tsuji Aya, the master of Morioh who leaves his mark on every tree, every person on every person, and who can return all swords to their source, understanding cause and effect with a smile and changing fate with a wave of his hand?)
(Hey, what on earth is this weird title all about?!)
--------
Alright, that's all for today. Everyone, please go home and don't worry about these little details...
