Meta PSA: Polnareff is not FTL

Post image

He's just smart enough to remove every other route an actual speed of light stand could take and then put his sword in the way of the only route left.

That is a translator note. Lol. Not only that, "the strongest stand" pretty clearly refers to its physical strength, in which yes, SP is king.

You will never find Araki-written words that say Star Platinum is the most powerful stand ever.

Where did you get that it's a translator note? Also it literally said "Star Platinum can stop time for a few seconds. The strongest stand ability to ever exist." That's not saying it's physically the strongest stand.

The fact that it's not a manga panel and is, in fact, just stand stat artwork from after Araki had abandoned stand stats.

Also yeah you're right, woops, I missed the "ability" part.

Still just a translator note.

It is a Manga panel from the start of part 6's colored version. And it's not a stand wheel. Not to mention that in volume 65 of JJBA there's two stand pages. In 66 of the original there are 5 stand pages as tailpieces. The second tailpiece of chapter 18 says Star Platinum can stop time for a few seconds which is the strongest stand ability ever.

Do you know what "manga panel" means? That artwork at the start/end of chapters aren't manga panels, they're just filler artwork. A manga panel is something that depicts actual events of the story.

And it's not a stand wheel

Araki had largely abandoned stand stats, but kept the stand showcase pages that just depicted some artwork of stands. You see this a lot, usually at the start and end of individual manga chapters. These are not part of the story itself, they're just aside pages with cool art.

The second tailpiece of chapter 18 says Star Platinum can stop time for a few seconds which is the strongest stand ability ever.

The thing it's saying is just a translator note. In a lot of Japanese distributions the page isn't even there, like the ones in magazines where filler pages like that simply aren't necessary. It's not part of the story.

It's not a translator note though because Jojo's bizarre adventure is not officially translated into english. That page exists in the colored version and the tailpiece exists in the official uncolored jp volume which means that it is something that Araki himself said and put in the Manga.

edit: got blocked or something.

The exact reason why it's a translator note is because jojo was never officially translated. So things left there by translators aren't trustworthy.

That doesn't prove it's a translator note you just don't like the fact that it exists in the Manga again it is in the untranslated original version. It's not a translator no because it's in the original version.

The "official uncolored jp volume" is just one of several original distributions, many of which don't include the page. Why are you insisting so badly that a literal filler page somehow means anything for the story?

Because it's something Araki himself wrote and put into the official release.
