[@that-evan-guy]

that part where rohan literally burns his own house down trying to find out how josuke is cheating at dice is JoJo's version of steamed hams

[@iantaakalla8180]

That dice situation is reversed Steamed Hams: Rohan does not mean to burn his house, and was not doing anything to burn his house, and is trying to uncover a trick played on him, but in the end his house was burnt

[@RelativelyBest]

@@iantaakalla8180 Wait, Chalmers would be Rohan in this scenario, right? So, it's actually _Josuke's_ house that catches fire.

[@iantaakalla8180]

That would be even funnier because Tomoko would chew him out sarcastically but then they would come across a windfall and all of it is used to buy another house and Josuke is deprived of another source of cash. I did not ever think of how fitting Steamed Hams would fit in the world of Diamond is Unbreakable.

[@skeepodoop5197]

Dare I say a stand that makes people superior to you believe obvious lies is even more fitting. Stands usually have SOME kind of restriction attached to them. (crazy diamond not able to heal their user, star platnium's short range, ect...) So an added restriction in only effecting people in charge of yourself makes a lot of sense. I could see a stand user like this fitting in part 5, with them being at the bottom of command in the Passione as a spy, specifically to abuse their ability.

[@zeoxyman]

This works on an extra level, Skinner's mother can feel the flames but still believes it's the northern lights because he also sees her as a superior.

STAND MASTER: SEYMOUR SKINNER STAND NAME: AURORA BOREALIS POWER: E SPEED: A RANGE: C DURABILITY: D PRECISION: B POTENTIAL: C Aurora Borealis is a close range type stand. While it is not suited for combat, it is rather adept at manipulating the mind. Upon activation, Aurora Borealis can convince any superintendent within its range that there is absolutely nothing wrong with your oven and it is not currently on fire. Although non-stand user superindentents cannot see Aurora Borealis, simply being within its presence and range will render the superintendent under its effects. If the superintendent is a stand user, Aurora Borealis can disguise itself to look like the actual northern lights localised entirely within your kitchen.

[@remixtheidiot5771]

Stand Name: Aurora Borealis Stand User: Seymour (Long Ranged, Psychological) This Stand though lacking in physical power, being weaker than even the user himself possesses a powerful illusion ability with a wide area of effect the size of a 2 story building that Seymour can activate at will to anyone within the Stand's 1km radius range. Aurora Borealis weakens certain linkages of the brain that has to do with critical thinking and logical reasoning, making them highly susceptible to being gaslit, especially by Seymour. However, the ability is incredibly damaging and may leave a long lasting, even permanent scar on its targets, damaging their brain to a potentially irrepairable state.

[@Nar_cant]

If this was an actual jojo stand I could totally see the user being one of those "look at me I'm so weak" people. Kinda like yo-yo ma

[@RougeMephilesClone]

I think that's exactly what they would be, because that's what would work the best for Aurora Borealis. The user naturally sees themself as inferior to other people, but if they can convince someone else that they are also superior to them in some way (it could vary from a real job position, to a skill set, to a familial or social dynamic, or simply prey on arrogant tendencies), then their Stand can trigger. The Aurora Borealis arc would thus go like this: a demonstration on some random person being mean to the user happens at the start. Then, the protagonists enter, and one inevitably sets off the enemy Stand. Someone else, probably the protagonist, bails them out and the Aurora user doesn't risk blowing their cover by using it again right away. Some time later, the protagonist and the other character are isolated and both fall under the Stand's effects, which are promptly triggered several times in a row to trap them in a layered illusion. From there, JoJo stuff happens, and the good guys manage to trick the villain with a bad lie of their own (or a real warning that sounds like one - this villain's character archetype is ripe for self-destructive behavior).

[@iantaakalla8180]

Honestly, depending on who has Aurora Borealis, the stand user could be the main bad of the part; they always think horribly of themselves because they are a vulnerable narcissist, so they developed Aurora Borealis as a stand, and now they de facto run whatever place they work at because everybody follows their will. The humble newcomer would, not falling for Aurora Borealis because they have worked at healthy places, work their way up to defeating the stand user with Aurora Borealis by getting the user to grandstand and therefore look down on them and then Aurora Borealis is canceled for everybody. The previous arcs are the attempts of the user of Aurora Borealis to take out the newcomer to the workplace because he always fears that someone may topple his power.
