And before anybody asks, yes he does beat the world over heaven, my editor forgot to put it in the video!!!! HE STILL OPERATES UNDER LOGIC!!!!

[@LunarianRhapsody]

Over all (including Non-Canon), S&W: Go Beyond would probably still not be able to defeat the Beyond Users from Jorge Joestar seeing that those guys get their Power from Meta-Fictional Writer who is above the whole JoJo Multiverse and views it as their own Fiction (being an infinite level Higher than Josuke), with there being statments that "The Only Thing that could beat a Beyond User is a Beyond User" (albeit this could be in question, due to Jorge Joestar coming out before S&W GB) So, DIO is stronger than Josuke but not with The World Over Heaven.

[@METAsMETAs]

[@furiousfusion7890]

Imma be honest: you kinda just assumed a ton of stuff here. For example: you just assumed that part 8 killer queen scales to part 4 killer queen and thereby is ftl. However, if that isnt true then i dont think p8 kq has any ftl feats itself. Also, didnt tooru tank multiple go beyond bubbles and was still able to nearly perform a rokakaka exchange? Wouldnt that thereby imply that the explosions of the bubbles are really not that strong and therefore Dio over heaven could just heal after he gets hit?

[@troythefrog4084]

Thank you for answering that question. I was still wondering about that.

[@furiousfusion7890]

Also, isnt go beyond technically a paradox? Since not having logic is the logic of how the stand works? Edit: also, how would the bubbles being 5th dimensional give them immesurable speed? By that logic, king crimson and ger should be at immesurable speed.

To make it easier for everyone, soft and wet removes existing laws and concepts in an area and stores them for later release. Go Beyond does the same thing, but instead of removing and storing, it outright deletes them from pure existence. It’s power is to delete things like curses, that the Jojo universe considers inescapable law.

Like part 4 did, it was still cool but jotaro scaled above all the characters there

[@Eckskalibur]

Idk. Technically speaking Araki already scaled down the direct stakes in part 8 when compared to part 9, so if Araki follows a pattern that means that the direct scale would be so minuscule but the underlying impact would be astronomical. Which… now that I say it has a lot of paradoxical problems off the bat so I don’t wanna bother trying to make predictions based on your scenario.

[@70Lu07]

Go beyond is so powerful because it makes the sentence "nothing can kill me" into a literal sense, the bubble becomes nothing, therefore it can kill you.

[@bonafidecatlover3443]

To sum it up, I'd say S&W Go Beyond is the strongest 'attack' but not the strongest stand. It's an attack that can be summed up as the strongest that we've seen in all of jojo but I believe a few stands would be capable of killing Josuke before he even uses it or while he's attempting to use it.

[@dared3524]

There has been a recurring power scaling pattern I’ve noticed in jojo, and it’s that in every part an entity would always surpass the power of the previous part. Wether in one situation or another. (Spoiler warning) -Phantom Blood is the base, and it’s strongest powers consisted of Hamon and Vampiric powers. -Battle Tendency’s strongest power had to be the ultimate life form Kars, where he had the capacity to surpass the abilities of Part 1 -Stardust Crusaders’ strongest power was Time stopping, which would likely beat Kars because all life exists in the domain of time. Time reigns over it. -Diamond is Unbreakable’s strongest power was temporarily Bites the dust. Even though the Motion gang were able to beat Kira, if it weren’t for hayato’s plan then part 4 would end in a tragedy where the time loops would continue forever. Only by that point , we realize that fate transcends time. -Golden Wind revolves around the powers of fate, and the strongest stands there were GER followed by King Crimson. Even though one can escape their current situation, your fate is always inevitable in the end. (Example is the infinite death loop) This concludes Fate can be one of the strongest forces out there. -Stone Ocean had Pucci wielding a very strong stand being Made in heaven. Even though GER can be considered stronger than MIH in a 1v1, fate can only go so far as it can sometimes be abstract. Pucci was able to reset the original universe due to his control of doing so, he had the power to speed up and restart the universe due to his infinite speed. He did die to Emporio, which was his fate so fate is still on par I guess, yet fate is doing it’s work in the domain of a universe. -Steel Ball Run had very powerful abilities, those being the infinite rotation and D4C’s complicated ability regarding alternate universes. D4C had control over many universes, and he could switch in and out of any universe he wanted. But, he was defeated because the infinite rotation allowed an entity to constantly spin without obstruction, essentially spinning infinitely. That infinity followed valentine to multiple universes and sealed his fate. -Jojolion’s strongest powers were the Wonder of U’s calamity and Soft and Wet Go beyond. Wonder of U now wasn’t just a stand, it was a concept that was godlike. As shown by the video it absolutely can transcend, grounded abilities, advanced grounded abilities, time and space, fate, and universes/realities. It abided by logic, and was a concept or inevitability that conquered all but not Soft and Wet Go beyond. It really went beyond, beyond logic itself-as it was essentially nothing. Mankind’s natural ability

[@Emmetlovesredvelvet13]

When it comes to the idea of strongest stands I've come to accept what Dio told pucci when explaining survivor. There isn't one because the stand power itself is subjective to the user and how it's implemented. Some good examples of the "strongest stands" that have huge limitations based on the users own capabilities are numerous. The hand, thoth, Purple Haze and the list goes on and on. Power In Jojo is such a complicated thing because a stand is limited to the user. For example a superspeed stand would be pointless on a person who can't walk unless they had the acumen to overcome this. It's such an interesting power system when you take the time to look at it

[@nicklemay8056]

Was literally just thinking this. Go Beyond is kind of just a glorified beam when you think about it. It still has to be manually aimed and fired at a target. Any stand that is simply moving faster than it (Made in Heaven) or could find a way to disorient Josuke enough to fuck up his shot (perhaps something like Wekapipo's steel ball technique) could render him useless. Even a quick enough kill in time stop before he fires it off could counter him. I feel like the aim of this video is "Well S&WGB > WoU, therefore S&WGB > everything else" and that's just not correct. The reason that WoU is so strong IS because he is an innate counter to any attack (strongest defense is the strongest offense.) It's not just because Araki said so. S&WGB was pretty much designed just to counter WoU, which is part of the reason why I kind of hate it being introduced.

[@piesmuggler7268]

@@nicklemay8056 yeah and when it hits you it doesn't even kill you unless it's a vital area. i'd say go beyond has the highest scaling in the series in terms of overwriting other hax abilities, but that doesn't mean it wins every fight. i'm curious to see how it will be balanced if josuke is in part 9. hopefully we'll get to see him use plunder more cuz it was so under-explored. i don't want him to just death beam things and then lose if that doesn't work.

You can do things like that, all the way up to taking away AIR FROM SOMEONE'S LUNGS, TAKING AWAY SOMEONE'S CONCEPT OF PAIN, TAKING AWAY SOMEONE'S SOUL. You would be a God of gods.

So when the ground shifted josefumi touched the in verge of death kira and they switched so many body parts that created a new human being that was half kira and half josefumi)

Concept of spin that we know about from Steel Ball Run IS some of the Jousuke's soap bubbles.

This rapidly spinning line forms object which shape resembles normal soap bubble. And since this is NOT soap bubble, but spinning thread, those soap bubbles are nothing, but rotation itself. So, yeah Statement that there's no spin in JojoLion is pretty wrong. (sorry for my English)

Reading Jojolion didn't make me really realize just how broken S&W and Wonder of you are, I could recognize that wonder if you was pretty broken but still thought stuff like d4c love train would be stronger and Tusk act 4 would be the strongest (yes I think it's stronger than GER), but when you put it into the actual context of the Jojo verse and logic as a concept, S&W go beyond and a Wonder of U above everything. I do think you're doing the right thing because the Jojo fandom as a collective has to realize that GER isn't absolutely anymore because time exists and so does araki evolving as a person with new ideas, which naturally means his writing evolves and changes, so do stands and their context with the world and their strength. The way he uses and defines logic is utterly terrifying and S&W go beyond transcending that should make it definitively THE strongest stand as of part 8

@@shill2920 I don’t see it that way. It doesn’t matter if the next part has different characters. In order for any series to up the ante, it has to introduce characters with even crazier powers. Do you remember when stopping time seemed like the most overpowered ability? And then the series just kept going, progressively introducing new characters with stronger powers in every part after. So the power creep just keeps going up higher and higher. But let’s say part 9 doesn’t end nearly as crazy. On one hand you run the risk of disappointing fans for not being able to live up to the already near-impossible expectations of part 8; on the other hand, even though Josuke/Gappy, isn’t there, he probably still exists, which kind of eliminates all stakes from the plot. It’s the reason why you see so many fan animations putting Giorno in part 6.

the panel at 7:30 is definitley a shueisha coloring error, and the explosion is supposed to just be a cloud of dust/debris shooting out behind solati do along with the rest of the bubbles. the reason that josuke is able to use s&w to blow the two enemies up at the end of the fight is because his bubbles are filled with gasoline and mamezuku throws him a lighter, josuke can't make explosions on his own.

The best argument that you can make for GER using return to zero on Go Beyond is that it would return Josuke’s intention of shooting the Go Beyond bubble, rather than returning the Go Beyond bubble itself, because if Josuke’s never shot the bubble, then it wouldn’t exist. However, this gets complicated when you consider the fact that the Go Beyond bubble technically never did exist in the first place, even after Josuke shot it, because it’s outside of logic, and the way we’ve seen return to zero work is that it activates right before an attack lands, not before the attack was thrown (King Crimson’s punches were thrown, they just stopped right in front of Giorno), so logically the ability would only activate right before the bubble hit Giorno, not before Josuke shot it. And keep in mind that all of this is assuming that the ability would even activate against something that technically doesn’t exist in the first place. Overall, return to zero probably wouldn’t work against Go Beyond, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that Giorno would lose against Josuke, because GER still has GE’s life giving ability, and it probably got even stronger, so it is still a very interesting fight

[@MementoDespair]

Its an actual fight where Giorno will actually have to fight for his life.

[@NaveenJeyaBalan]

I don’t know about that, just because it’s outside logic doesn’t mean it’s unbeatable.

Here's the thing, while the go-beyond bubbles are certainly "hax-proof" in that, because of their extra-dimensional nature, you can't do anything to the bubble but the bubble can do things to you, no amount of shenanigans will prevent you from getting bubbled short of just, avoiding the bubble, since the bubbled did need yasuho to guide them. But, whats the actual attack potency of the bubbles? They're basically "just" an unblockable gun really. Yeah, a headshot with them will kill pretty much anything that would die to a headshot, but, thats kind of ALL they are. Star platinum can destroy a lot more things, and much more DURABLE things, much faster than S&W, just see the high priestess teeth-breaking scene. Weather report could also straight up just, throw around hurricanes if he wanted to. Regular gold experience could probably just, create a billion lions if Giorno felt like it, especially if arrow-boosted. Gas up Go Beyond all you want, but, its a fairly 'localized' effect. We aren't even sure how 'revert to zero' would interact with go beyond in practice in much the same way that we don't know how king crimson's time skip would interact with time stop. does making the bubble not be fired make it not exist or does it just, exist anyways? heck, would MANDOM make the bubbles be un-fired? We just don't know. in a way it is un-knowable, because these are all abilities that operate entirely outside the bounds of physics as we understand them to such an extent that we would need Araki to answer it. Ultimately it comes down to what DIO said in part six about "strongest stand" in a way. Who would win between Giorno and Josuk8? Its whoever attacks first. Go beyond has no defenses, but also just ignores pretty much every defense. If anything I'm inclined to say that King Crimson of all things can beat Go Beyond because Diavolo could just... use epitath to see which way the bubble would go, and then use time skip pre-emptively to just, *not* be in the trajectory of it, before one-shot'ing Josuke from behind. sure, the bubble probably WOULD invade and still hit him in skipped time if he activated time skip AFTER it was fired because he'd be too slow to get out of the way, but if the bubble passes through points A, B, and C, and he's never in any of those points while the bubble is there, because he knew thats where it would be fired ahead of time, and used time skip to lock that firing trajectory in place and deny josuke the chance to adjust, then yeah he dodges and then scores the kill. Ironic then that King Crimson, used properly, can beat one of the few things that are able to beat the very thing king crimson lost to, but thats just how it goes in JoJos. An ability is only as good as the user is able to apply use it.

[@SolomonPleasent]

I think my only argument for GER still being the strongest is that Go Beyond still has a activation point. Josuke still has to choose to use Go Beyond. GER’s main purpose is to stop that kind of thing from beginning in the first place. “I skip time”, no you don’t. “I use Go Beyond”, no you don’t. That’s the main thing I can think of. That’s not from a passionate perspective that’s just from reading how each ability works and taking what is shown in each part at the value of what Araki is telling us.

His line spins so fast they appear as spherical and then turn to zero when they hit infinite spinning meaning it disappears after spinning too fast. So nothing can really beat the stand if its used aggressively (taking hearts of other with the bubble and never giving it back or removing the concept of his enemy's power or his existence itself)

It could control the Void and place it in such a way that it can't reach Tooru without Vanilla Ice looking around, and the moment his head's exposed, something Stand related would fly into Cream's mouth like the rapier of Silver Chariot and destroy Vanilla Ice's brain, incapacitating him until the sun rises and destroys him.

See, the problem I have with this is that from my understanding (correct me if I'm wrong) Josuke's "nothing" bubbles are still only about as fast as his regular bubbles, and they're not just an instakill unless they hit a vital area. So, literally any stand that could outspeed that (which is most stands high on the list: MiH, GER, Tusk Act 4, Star Platinum, The World, etc.) could kill him before the bubble could do anything. Especially DIO could likely just ignore the damage caused by the bubble (because he's a fucking vamprie) and go straight for him, even if the bubble still works in timestop.

@@fortress7493 no because the attack doesnt exist, getting rid of the cause does nothing, because it was never anything to begin with, it surpasses logic, which ger uses to activate its ability, ger uses the logic that without cause there is no effect, but go beyond surpasses both.

[@fortress7493]

@@dattos140 this is false because GER manipulates both things at once not just one thing. Therefore to say it's logical would be disingenuous to what it's shown about his ability. In fact soft and wet attacks are in fact in the range GER because it's based on "cause and effect". Btw new Jojo verse are completely bound by time. Compared to the previous universe, GER is transcendental stand that goes beyond time and fate

All in all, Soft in Wet Go Beyond shoots GER's ability as bubbles with the concept of the infinite spin of Part 7. GER BEYOND BULLETS! will say tho, S&W is bomb and awesome video Meta!

[@pedroandres4697]

Fun fact Tusk act 4 should also be able to defeat wonder of u because of infinite spin, this is because you can’t say infinity is pursuing you

[@johnlucas2838]

But you can say Tusk Act 4 or Johnny is.

Well he forgot again

Johnny literally died using Tusk act 4 against calamity.

Okay there he is, Tooru. I'm gonna shoot him. Wait a minute, a leaf coming toward my finger?! Theres no way it avoids me from shooting Tooru, like cut my finger, RIGHT? Hahaha

I do think Soft and Wet utilizes Spin, as Spin is a natural phenomenon found in the world much like Gravity or Time, but on a level so far beyond what ordinary people are capable of that it might as well be it's own thing. Like comparing the ability to control gravity to the ability to create black holes. The levels of power are on two separate scales there. Like, it has to be linked to the Spin in some or fashion, otherwise the explanation that Josuke's bubbles are spinning lines that form the illusion of a sphere would be pointless.

[@BizarroJoe]

To summarize and simplify. Jouske's bubbles exist in this reality that you and I are in. And so if one of his bubbles comes in contact with the paper page containing Wonder of U. That ruins the page. That destroys Wonder of U. 17:42 In my example a real life bubble would definitely have the same effect on GR or any characters in the series. In the multitudes of copies purchased or sold of this series. Someone somewhere has ruined their book with some soda accident or SOMETHING else influenced by bubbles. So by that logic Go Beyond beats itself. I base this off Grant Morrison's concepts of 5th dimensional beings in their writings.

[@canadianchaos1517]

So to simplify to dummy terms, Josuk8’s bubbles are like real life erasers that affect the plot/manga, breaking the 4th wall entirely.

[@spencermorris4320]

I agree that maybe GR is outdated in some way, but my thinking is that maybe wonder of u just made this extreme caveat that could only be overcome by a super specific ability description that only works on wonder of u. the bubbles not existing within logic is pretty crazy, but i still think GR scales over them because even though they don't exist, josuke still expects them to work in his mind meaning that there is a metaphysical reality where GR is more powerful than the bubbles from soft and wet imo. Leave it to Araki to make us fans debate theoretical quantum physics XD

[@SirAstron]

Honestly its hard to decide if its strongest or second strongest. There is a good chance that goes beyond could indeed go beyond the fate that protect ger and be able to harm giorno. If that was possible it would definitely be the strongest. If not then ger would remain at the top.

Meanwhile, I'm just sitting over in the corner, learning a bit more about random stands, and finding I am liking Weather Report more and more simply cause of that flying scene in part 6 :V

Can't really say that S&W:GB is a random stand

[@BobHenri2011]

In fact, they merged together because of both the effects of the rokakaka + being buried in the wall eyes

[@vlad_ussr8390]

I think the soap bubbles are like the spin energy, as the spin is stand power, and the soap bubbles harness the spin always as they are just a string/line spinning constantly. Go beyond i think what it was is that it transcends the power of wonder of u by spinning at such speeds that it is illogical. Edit: key word like, stands have spin energy as they are like hamon in a sense as they can awaken stands (zeppeli spin stand). It's like a possible gateway to stands. Now all stands have spin but josukes spin isn't in the sense of spin energy but more the act of the balls spinning and being illogical.

[@leersay]

Can you make a video about the correspondences and counterparts between the Original & Reset universes? (Spin v Hamon, character reimaginations, theories for Jojolands) I have a feeling that Jodio is this universe’s equivalent to Giorno and his story.

[@carsongarcia1049]

I find soft and wet:go beyond funny because it technically would not be inaccurate to say that Toru was killed by nothing.

Tooru who can solo like 90% of anime verse dies to literally nothing is ironic 💀

[@riddlerthediddler4392]

Someone somewhere has ruined their copy of the manga by spilling liquid on it, that's probably where the bubbles went

[@misterentityyt1704]

I’d say Wonder of U is the strongest as everything you do needs logic or Causality, the only attack that can hurt him is something that doesn’t follow the idea of logic and the attack must to simply put it not exist. Soft and wet go beyond has that specific power

[@sageturtl4996]
