with the spin

[@straypaper]

"Hey, what do you call an object with infinite mass and infinite energy?" "Masaka! A black hole???" "Close, but no. A black hole absorbs energy without letting any out. Not heat, not light, not vibrations. By definition it can't have any energy, let alone infinite." "B-but then..." "A photon with infinite speed can have infinite energy, but they can't have any mass. A black hole with infinite mass can't have infinite energy. But do you know what contains both light particles and black holes?" "YOU WOULDN'T DARE" "Correct. Witness the combination of my November Rain Requiem's Supermassive and the Infinite Spin Technique: I can create a whole universe. In every. Single. Drop. Of my rain." "WHY YOUUUUU JOJOOOOOOOO"

Rohan played the role koichi did in part 5, only this time he is the one aware of what is happening. In part 5 giorno was the one who knew about passione while koichi was the clueless one, and giorno played on koichi being a nice person. Here the one who doesnt know what is happening is jodio, and rohan plays on his greed.

[@kielpogi8062]

Like Jotaro to Jolyne in part 6

[@jackofaces107]

I hope that he isn’t like koichi in the way that he’s a major character in the prologue type chapters, and actually does return later on. Would suck if Rohan just kinda stopped existing in the part like Koichi did in part 5

November rain chapter 5: yeah it is heavy rain November rain chapter 87: with this rain i can restart the universe and stop time

[@irrelevancepersonified]

With the Made in Heaven black hole stuff Araki pulled before, that very much could happen

[@RobertBarronYT]

November Rain ends up being heavy because it can control the "gravity" of water droplets in the air. By expanding it, he can control the Gravity of anything and effect the flow of "Mechanisms". Now he can control the cause and effect of any object inside the range of November Rain. Still ends up punching the main bad guy to death.

[@k00ra_]

arakis not that stupid

[@GreycatRademenes]

One thing I know about Hawaiian Lava Rocks is that they supposedly *bring Bad Luck* to people who take them away from the islands. Same goes with Uluru rocks in Australia. In both cases it's documented that tourist mail these rocks back with apology to reverse the bad luck. Maybe Araki is taking on this tale and sort of reverses it - these specific rocks bring good luck.

[@dleonidae]

to be fair, Jodio isn't taking the rocks away from the islands, dude lives there

[@GreycatRademenes]

@@dleonidae I know, that's why I said that Araki is making a spin on the whole concept - lava rocks having influence on faith. We are still to see how it works.

Yeah I think at least at the moment he’s totally leaning into that. We haven’t seen any punchy ghosts. But we are only 5 chapters in. I think especially how this seems like a heist story. So far we’ve seen is just like “heist”-type stands

[@racergamer3733]

@@RazorBladezXIts pretty similar to how Steel Ball Run didn't have many punch ghosts, with most of them showing up way late. In a Silent Way kinda counts but it didn't throw punches, but the actual punchy ghosts were only D4C, Tusk Act 4, and THE WORLD.

[@Dawg-ou3gd]

[@Beekay9898]

It's interesting that the lava rocks are the items linked to supernatural abilities. I'm not a historian by any means but I am Hawaiian so I know quite a bit about the folklore and culture. Taking lava rocks is a known taboo in Hawaii, people who have done so have always sent them back no matter where they are in the world because they bring misfortune. This is due to the Goddess of fire and creator of the islands, Pele, being a very jealous and vengeful god. If Araki is tying the supernatural to the Hawaiian Gods I will be overjoyed.

[@faaiz4129]

Woah crazy

[@racergamer3733]

I mean we already have Jesus as part of the canon of the SBR-Verse, more God Related Stuff doesn't seem too far fetched.

[@boianko]

That's very interesting. We see Jodio going up to a volcano, so he may be returning the rock to where it is supposed to be. It would also explain why the rock makes things "return to it".

[@SpeedWeed0073]

The fact that there are more than one cat chasing the group and Rohan saying that they were beeing followed reminds me of Jodio saying that no matter how many people they would have brought with them to steal the diamond, it wouldn't be enough at the end of chapter 1. I wonder if this has something to do with Jodios statement.

[@primal2020]

i think november rain will evolve as the story progresses because the song is actually the middle part of a multi-part ballad. the others being don't cry and estranged. it could be that november rain is actually already it's second form.

[@charliewilson9884]

Jodio: here call the cops Rohan: nuh uh Jodio: fym nuh uh?

[@chakr.a]

This part is definitely going to deal with fortune, bad luck, and the concept of humankind and it’s strive for a god complex/egotism

[@kyle-packard]

i think that jodios big confusing main jojo endgame power might be the ability to warp space time with his rain drops like einsteins theory of relativity using his heavy raindrops to bend space time

[@efremvarnadoii2849]

I like the idea of November Rain being a bit underpowered in comparison to the Super OP Soft & Wet

[@Schregger]

Im not Hawaiian, but I do remember hear elsewhere that taking lava rocks from the island is bad luck. So either the bad luck is happening in a subtle way (like the gang being chased by cats) or there is some kind of karmic balance thing, where for every piece of good luck, there is some bad that will happen.

[@androidedoidao]

Maybe the mechanism is attracting what you want, you "you" consider valuable. Jodio starts wanting wealth but maybe there will be a change of heart along the way

[@oompa1274]

It's seeming like jodio can control the weight of individual raindrops even after they've hit the floor or choose what they effect. Edit: maybe a little wild but initially I was thinking jodio can manipulate things hit by his raindrops

[@BobbinRobbin777]

With how the matt went through the floor when Rohan got jumped by Jodio, this isn't _too_ unlikely.

[@trashman1605]

Maybe he can reshape things he destroyed by his rain kinda like crazy diamond

[@diabloceratops]

@@BobbinRobbin777 I mean rohan says that the rain soked through the carpet and then crushed the floor beneath it. This is from Rohan however and not Jodio

[@solareign781]

maybe its similar to how Soft & Wet's bubbles can steal properties, but instead of stealing he can replicate properties such as weight or the spikes on the cactus

i dont think araki would pull that off though because its way too similar to S&W

[@KashemLondon]

i'm gonna make a prediction and say that a volcano is gonna be a stand in the future

[@nick1wasd]

I wonder if the rock's mechanism is the idea of "ownership." That's something abstract enough to warrant a 'mechanism' but is also concrete enough to convey that money is the best way to go about using and empowering it.

[@ianmccourry9337]

I realized that Rohan being here at the beginning of the story is yet another callback to part 5, as that part had a different part 4 character interact with and attack our main jojo. People might of made this connection months ago, but something I just realized now.

[@frappes_]

Hawaii is actually a pretty popular tourist destination for the Japanese, so I'd imagine Araki has been there.

[@kialo6790]

Ny fav element of JoJoLands so far is how seeming runaway gags are actually crucial to the plot, very mature writting skill from Araki

[@MUSQUIZanimation]

The Cats’ Stand will be called Cat Food. A King Crimson reference.

[@UomoPolpetta]

I liked the theory that said that the lava rocks prevent you from having your possession taken away from you and that the way to exploit them to become rich is basically an infinite money glitch. Spend money and they eventually come back to you.

[@kenjisxsad5404]

So just Milagro Man without the caveat?

[@xwolf9410]

Is it perhaps the law of desire? The mechanism that exists within ‘nature’ itself, as all natural things have a form of desire in some sense, especially seen in JoJo. Even animals can be seen having desires to grow, or to fight, or something else, like when Stray Cat was capable of choosing who he liked, similar to Kira he seemed to want to live a peaceful life, that’s a desire. To Rohan, the Rock is a value of study, therefore it showing it’s mechanism by bringing an object of monetary value, despite Rohan not caring about money, would make sense considering it would be quite easy for Rohan to figure out using that.

[@kirbs_3378]

I think the reason Jodio didn’t want the rain to land on Rohan because he respects and is a fan of him

[@mcexistant664]

I sorta believe that every word Jodio said to Rohan was probably laced in condescending sarcasm and I love it.

[@addex1236]

Problem with that theroy is he acknowledged Rohan from the pool as reading as a mangka he reads the work of Jodio is a confirmed pychopath he absolutely would threaten someone he respects to protect someone he cares i.e Danga at least to me also it all being sincere adds a degre malice to it because that was Jodie to someone he respected imagine what he dose to people he hates

[@j0sei614]

this is definitely on the natural laws of luck which is associated a lot with wealth (lottery, slot machines, gambling, etc). Would be cool if luck is gonna be the main driving force that makes the events happen in this part

[@bunnymaan]

I personally think the lava rocks attract things that help in our society, since money is what we use for everything in the world the lava rock attracts things that help you gain money.

[@MarbleVirus]

I feel like the law of nature from the rock is either good luck, or in the case of a universal constant, maybe it's the law of attraction. It starts attracting that which the holder desires most, in the case of Jodio, valuables!

[@VapidOrbit]

When Usagi is revealed as the fourth member of the team, Jodio says something like "Is this another of the world's mechanisms? 8:15

[@xForts]

It's not a speech bubble, it's a narration box. The same narration that says after that "this is the beginning" so it's either future Jodio or him as an omniscient narrator.

[@VapidOrbit]

@@xForts ah damn. The way it was presented made it seem like the observation was made in the moment. Shoulda went back n fact checked.

[@nikraider2544]

What if Jodio first heard the term mechanism from a manga created by Rohan ?

[@masterwalrus9817]

Jodios stand is interesting to me because it isn't humanoid. Every other jojo had a humanoid stand, with Tusk act 4 becoming humanoid and joseph/Johnathan not being mcs of part 3. If this is a part 5 parallel, the lava rock might act like the Requiem arrow to evolve a stand. The natural force provided by the rock could be desire. Jodio is a sociopath pretty much, and so it may be that he only desires money and wealth, so the rock attracts the holder's desire. I initially thought that they couldn't take the diamond/money from Rohan due to him writing "You cannot steal from Rohan Kishibe" with Heavens Door, and him letting them go released the stealing aspect. Part 5 was to originally have a betrayal, so Araki might go through with it this time. All the stands seem really weak strength wise, so relying on each other and enguinuity will probably be major themes, as we saw last chapter

[@vinceisdead6063]

Heavy rain is going to be some time of "Spin" related stand like the other two In the new universe

[@animeguy2961]

A spinning waterdrop which turns into a black hole🗿

[@AllinAdventuresPoughkeepsie]

I don't think the rain has anything to do with Jodio's actual ability. I think it is a byproduct of him using his ability, because the gravity is so strong where he uses it that the moisture in the air is forced to become rain.

[@nickrondinelli1402]

Do you think that theres a connection between water falling from the sky [🌧 november rain] and fire coming from the earth [🌋 lava]?

[@johnnyjoestar6478]

The rocks could be a more literal law of attraction Not like gravity and fate but literally attracting wealth

[@npc_hat]

A reason why Jodio rained on the carpet to immobilize Rohan instead of pinning him like the cops could be for the same reason he didn’t want his friends to hurt Rohan. Jodio respects Rohan so doesn’t want to hurt the guy. It could also be so they could question Rohan as the other way could knock the guy unconscious.

[@shiranuiprestonsaga8867]

I think the law that Araki is portraying is the law of Monopoly. It's not exactly a traditional law of nature but when everyone trades eventually one person will own everything. So my guess Araki is trying to portray that law or concept on how Monopolies are form as a law of fortune

[@antivirusexe2856]

That's because of capitalism specifically. That doesn't happen without it.

[@frescopino7866]

I'm thinking the rocks are more tied to willpower or desire, and Jodio's desire is just to be richer.

[@seafreak2237]

Araki:(reads “The Secret” while on vacation in Hawaii) Oh wow, I can do something with this…

[@thebitten1]

It could be possible Jodio didn't directly attack Rohan because, as you later brought up, he respects Rohan. Perhaps he doesn't wanna attack him, but he had to subdue him somehow.

[@voidanims]

I actually thought he could manipulate the weight of the raindrops, making them light or heavy at will

[@glocktaivious8825]

If he can make things wet with his rain and make them heavy. Then he should fight with those water missile things that soak up water and you hit people with

[@carzyhawnguy]

I would be interested to see where the lava rocks go from here. It's a common thing to tell tourists who go to Hawaii Volcanoes National park to not take the lava rocks as you'll be cursed by Pele. I'm not sure where the idea of being cursed comes from but my mom had an interesting take on it. The lava rocks are porous and help to facilitate the water cycle and ecosystem of the island. The southern part of Hawaii island is viewed as the land of Pele from a cultural perspective. So taking the rocks would be like plucking flowers from a person's garden or taking fruit from their tree without asking for permission. There also was a time where a chief stopped a lava flow from heading towards Hilo or a lava eruption taking out a portion of rival army during Kamehameha's unification of the islands. Happy my home is getting some love from my favorite mangaka. Can't wait to see how this story goes.

[@danksavage2496]

I think even if he can only make his rain heavy it’s still a form of gravity which makes Jodio have alot of potential

[@ryzegod9129]

I’m loving part 9 !

[@Sebboebbo]

Da king is back baby he neva miss

[@shlarpgoopy]

I interpreted the money falling out and the diamond not being able to be picked up by Dragona as being just Heaven's Door in use, although Rohan writing that in them hasnt been shown at all

[@unlobotomized]

i wonder if jodios stand is going to be able to evolve like johnnys

[@barnowl2655]

I honestly think Jodio's stand will evolve into something more akin to a main JoJo's stand as the part progresses. This is just my personal theory, but Araki likes to have the stands of the main JoJo's be versatile in order to combat any situation they're in right? So it would make sense if Jodio's stand goes through some form of evolution via a great trial or revelation, kind of like Purple Haze in Purple Haze: Feedback. So his stand might be transitioning from just heavy raindrops to manipulate the raindrops as a whole. Not just their weight, but the size, shape, and perhaps even density of the rain.

[@codeine69]

This is gonna be the first part where the jobros or atleast one of them turns on Dragona and Jodio

[@adrianjones1527]

Rock attracts similarly to Jodio's control over gravity. What happens when Jodio uses rain on the rock? Wouldn't the rain amplify the attraction powers of the rock?

[@michaelh4227]

"If you keep that lava rock and keep it safe, then you'll be lucky in life" says guy who just got his house robbed and a diamond stolen along with the lava rock.

[@monsterigonu]

I like how the new generation of the stands right now seem impractical for most situation except (Rohan because its Rohan). Dragona's is very close range and stretches' and squishes, Jodio has heavy rain, and the other two are musicale control and minor duplication. there all unique and stranger than most of the stands

[@limbobilbo8743]

My personal theory is that jodio can do other things with rain beyond weight but who knows yet

[@kenjisxsad5404]

November Rain GO BEYOND

[@L0hengr-n]

Becoming filthy rich could represent the pursuit of happiness. As in America it is one of the main things listed in the constitution

[@geraldballinger6428]

Maybe the law of nature is greed, since you could say that sins and virtues are laws of nature but are more focused on living things.

[@BobbinRobbin777]

So the lava rock believes in gravity?

[@jimmyjamal951]

I'm so dumb, I think I interpreted the carpet hole scene very differently and I think JoJos is making my brain over complicate what is literally heavy water. When I read it I thought it was implied that Jodio made a false floor to catch him of guard by seeping the water through the carpet but then making it heavy on the underside... (Edit) ooo but the Cheap Trick reference could be further evidence

[@sagathekawaiikilla]

[@BizarroJoe]

I don't think he JUST made the rug heavy and wet. I think it was in INSANE TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR inside the villa with such force in such a focused small area that he may have weakened the concrete? Perhaps it's THAT heavy and he has THAT much control over it. Which, if true. Means he could effectively use November Rain as an orbital rail gun with a single raindrop. That? Is terrifying. It's raining like crazy here as I type this. Any single one of the raindrops that JUST hit me as I was out walking my dog could have ended me if it were November Rain. 6:47 I really hope your theory about Araki's Hawaiian vacation are true. It seems to have done him a lot of good. He's always been meta, he's always been pushing against that fourth wall, sometimes he broke it. But if you combine all that stuff we've learned about how he inserts characters and all that. This might be the closest he has come to directly addressing "us" the audience? I dunno reading too much into it perhaps. 12:03 I maintain the cat is Mikitaka.
