[@SwirlyisCool]

I love your take on Three of a Perfect Pair. I do have another way this could be interpreted, and that is based on how the album is meant to represent two different sides and one side that represents objective truth. The JOJOLands has introduced to us two concepts that seem to be opposite of each other yet are the same in terms of being concepts that explain how the world works. Generally, when you ask someone "why does this happen", they may answer something like: - because X, Y, and Z (mechanisms) - because it just happens (absurdity) Both are therefore opposite perspectives and opposite "truths" that initially seem to work against each other. Both seem to be the only two answers to the question mentioned above. But, what if there was a third answer: - because it was willed into existence (determination) There was a story about a famous calligrapher named Ono no Michikaze who watched a frog attempt to hop onto a branch in the storm. Despite berating the frog for constantly trying to hop despite failing each time, a gust of wind came by and helped the frog hop successfully onto the branch. Michikaze declared that the frog succeeded not because of chance or following the rules but rather by determination. This story has been immortalized in Hanafuda, a card game in which Michikaze is depicted watching the frog in the rain. This suit, known as the 11th suit, is also known as the November Suit. If the mechanism and the absurd are paired together to explain the workings of the world, determination can explain how to conquer both. Mechanism and absurdity can be argued to be the same thing and as a result we get Mechanism/Absurdity + Determination = Three of a Perfect Pair. I think Jodio, seeing how he struggled with understanding absurdity and relying on the mechanisms to obtain his goals, will realize this third concept and go through a transformation that not leads him to grow as a character but also change his perspective on life completely. Yes, things can happen for a reason and things can happen for no reason- but things can happen because one willed it for oneself; this has a potential to show us dark determination interpreted by Jodio now that I think about it. If one understands how all three things worked together, one can arguably gain anything they want from the world as a result and therefore become extremely powerful and rich. I think it will be revealed that the ""riches" Jodio seemed to brag about in the beginning isn't just material wealth but rather knowledge. He will come out fully understanding how the world works, how to get what he wants, and he becomes burdened with this knowledge as a result, which makes a potential bittersweet ending that also makes a meaningful coming-of-age story that The JOJOLands seems to be doing. Sorry, I rambled too much. lol

[@BatuTetric]

I do love this idea especially how it wraps dark determination into this, I really do hope Araki has the Lore on 3 of a perfect pair down so we can get something like this. I didn't explain it in the video however the way the album is formatted, the first side has much more rock/pop type of tracks, while the second side has more experimental instrumental tracks, being side 1 and 2, opposites forcing you to understand it as a whole being the 3rd, I explain this because even if Araki doesn't consciously know the themes I hope it's something he can understand and be moved by.

[@SwirlyisCool]

​@@BatuTetric The concept of the album being split down the middle in terms of showing two different sides of King Crimson actually gave me this idea in the first place. Especially given that the two sides are first introduced through the albums Discipline and Beat respectively, and the last album represents the unity between the two. Fun fact: Three of a Perfect Pair has exactly 9 tracks in the original album- 5 on the "left" and 4 on the "right" sides. Eventually 6 more are added in 2001 as "the other side". Though reaching, the album cover art does look like November Rain's legs.

_...Jodio is Frisk Undertale confirmed?!?_ (But in all seriousness... Jodio getting that "Haruno Shiobana -> Giorno Giovanna" transformation at the end of the part would genuinely be beautiful to watch, I can already feel the PEAK emanating from this potential plot-point)

Howler could also just be a reference to Haole, a slang term in Hawaii for foreigners or invasive outsiders lol

[@BatuTetric]

Haven't heard that one before but that's definitely solid

[@SwirlyisCool]

Yes! Adding to that, someone once claimed that the term "wolf" was used in the past to describe foreigners/haoles who intentionally pretend to be native Hawaiians for malicious reasons. Someone also pointed out that wolves are not native to Hawaii but there is a dog breed that looks almost like a wolf with stubby legs called Poi dogs. The breed is now extinct but were beloved as protectors of children and there is a specific group of demigods that were half dog half human who were known to be tricksters. If you look at the Howler logo, it does look like a stubby dog with pointed ears but can also be representative of a wolf. So, Howler isn't just some random company from outside of Hawaii but rather a company that pretends to Hawaii's culture and well-being in mind but in reality hides malicious intent. Possibly, they started as local and wanting to do good but somehow external/foreign forces changed it to what it is now.

[@chakr.a]

@@SwirlyisCool yessss and tying to part 8, fruits have been a major highlight of injustice throughout Hawaiian history. Foreigners who came to Hawaii were interested in the fruits of Hawaii so they would capitalise off of it, creating businesses that aimed to distribute these exotic fruits. Clean water is scarce resource in Hawaii so these companies would go out their way to retrieve water just to grow these native fruits. The common denominator when discussing Part 7, 8, and 9 would essentially be capitalism and the expense of those under this system. Araki obviously weaves in intricate ideas too, such as fortune guiding itself at the hands of a linear power in part 7, or the highlight of curses and misfortune, and how people deal with them on a personal level in part 8. I wonder what Araki is cooking with the lava rock in part 9, as compared to all the parts he’s done, the Jojolands group seems to be the ones who are closest the most ;p

Thank you so much for dispelling the "Usagi is a traitor because of the KC refrence" rumor I see everywhere. I think it's way to simple and diluted to be what is going to happen. I love this theory instead- and am excited to see where it goes from here! my bet is on the TPP stand being called "Larks Tongues" or "Model Man", but that's just me, I would have never thought that "Bigmouth strikes again" would have been picked for Charmingman Cheers!

[@BatuTetric]

I don't think Usagi traitor is completely out of the question tbh, but I do think that if Araki planned on making him the traitor he wouldn't be as suspicious, and comparing him to Fugo he has a very team based ability making me feel like it's unlikely but definitely still on the table

[@mykehunt9884]

The repeating 3s in part 9 could be a connecting jodio to giorno, dio and pucci. Jodio is literally jo/dio and all of those characters are half jostar and half dio kinda. Giorno is dio and Jonathan's son, dio's part 3 body was originally Jonathan, and pucci is a follower of dio and later gained the jostar birthmark.

[@coulsonlloydclare6399]

Dude, this is an amazing theory. I’ve been pondering about how Three of a perfect pair will make an appearance myself, and would most definitely not be disappointed if this were it.

[@rhushikeshkelkar8332]

I really hope araki makes diavolo and doppio au into 2 separate characters , preferably as brothers , having 2 halves of thr original KC . Doppio with epitaph and diavolo with time skip , which could make for an interesting arc or sorts . Also hoping they're either working for howler or are private investigators , kinda like what bobby jean might be , as good cop bad cop working for congressman white to take down howler .

[@neoshenlong]

Inb4 Bobby Jean randomly pops out King Crimson one day

[@BobbinRobbin777]

Perhaps the gang will end up defeating the pair by tricking the KC user into abandoning / killing his Epitaph partner, mirroring both the death of Kira's dad and Diavolo leaving Doppio to die in Bucciarati's body.

[@BobbinRobbin777]

The Diavolo pair being against Howler, yet still choosing to also fight the main cast reminds me about Risotto & La Squadra... Perhaps the pair will be this part's Tiziano & Squalo? Or maybe they're like Cioccolata & Secco?

[@BobbinRobbin777]

Jodio having the split personality within the "P3rfect Pair" also parallels Weather Report and how Pucci had to steal his memories to seal away Heavy Weather. Both the users and their stands having design traits that circle back to each other. From the users with their mental health issues and white hair, to their stands red eyes and weather-themed abilities. It'd be surprising if you _didn't_ end up right.

[@BatuTetric]

Hopefully so, Hamon Beat in his new video also mentioned some new connections between Pucci and Jodio that I hadn't noticed so I like my odds, also love the way you wrote out "P3rfect Pair" reminds me of main villian stands like D4C and Wonder of U

[@BobbinRobbin777]

@@BatuTetric Thx, I thought replacing e with 3 would’ve been funny and it just went a little hard too. Also: Hamon Beat dropped?!?

[@personperson573]

Idk the whole Jodio somehow showing a split personality thing will feel a bit cheap and doesn't really help but add stigma to the mental health thing. Since he's already a character supposedly diagnosed with ASPD slapping multiple personalities on that is just OD atp. 💀🙏 Plus the running theme in all SBR story so far is overcoming your adversity. Johnny learned how to walk. Josuke overcame his retrograde amnesia and built a new life. I don't see how Jodio can overcome having multiple personalities and being a diagnosed psychopath on top. The only logical route is that it turns out he was never diagnosed with ASPD or that he can still demonstrate strong empathy.

It would be cool, since Giorno is the son of God (Dio)

[@festafunerea]

I always wanted to see a Joestar as a villain. (I had this theory that SBR Joseph was the head doctor before the reveal of Tooru being the villain). Also, if I recall correctly, Hot Pants said that she knew stuff about Diego's father (and assuming HP is italian, maybe Dario went to Italy and he had a child with someone of the Pucci family. Heck, maybe HP herself is a Pucci, she's a nun, and remember her brother being k1lled?), so, maybe Jodio's father is a Brando-Pucci. Now, how you'd fit both KC and MiH, I don't know. They just wouldn't be the main villain stand (since it didn't happened in both SBR and JJL).

[@TheDoctor4221]

...there is no way araki *isn't* aware they're a KC reference, come on the man may not understand english lyrics but he specifically hunts out music he enjoys the sound of and can likely at understand a song title

[@MatheusHenrique-ni4ii]

At least it's clear that he probably knows Matte Kudasai. I mean, what other song has this name if not a song from King Crimson. Given the fact he chooses a lot of western songs and artists for naming the stands.

​@@BatuTetric Ohh that is a good point I'm ngl !!

[@ParkournPrankster]

So considering you brought up the Part 6 parallel regarding the quote, I think it's possible as well that maybe as a baby, Jodio had a sibling that was swapped with another baby ( maybe with a sick or dead one). I say this because this DID happen to the twins in Part 6. Another event that happened was Pearla and Weather were dating, but were separated siblings. And so far in TJL, neither Jodio or Dragona have an interst in forming relationships with others. Which leads me to think, a new character could catch either ones eye(specifically Dragona if they're a Pearla parallel) unaware of their background. This could perhaps have a similar situation where Dragona dies as a result, awakening something new in Jodio. Then the story could change from being about the bond of two siblings, to being the tension between two siblings. Albeit a sibling Jodio is not aware of.

[@BatuTetric]

Yeah I was initially gonna suggest for that to be Usagi, but there's already a lot of Usagi traitor theories ever since matte kudesai especially so I wanted explore some other options

[@pinkzero281]

Nah man araki is genius writer what you explain was already done and I don't think he's gonna do it again because There are some reference to previous part

[@stortrut]

Great video!

[@neoshenlong]

I think King Crimson is coming, but I don't think it's a coincidence that the character first suggested to be a traitor has a King Crimson song stand, followed by the villain group having a King Crimson name. So I think King Crimson will be related to Howler or maybe even a bigger group behind them. Also, Jojolion just had the main character having the villain reference stand, and a split character, so I don't think Araki will do that again with JoDio. Another character having a split personality like Doppio and Diavolo does make a lot of sense.

[@BatuTetric]

I had initially thought about framing Usagi as the third sibling, especially with him showing interest in dragona it could mirror weather and pearla, but thought the schizoid main character seemed more fun. I will agree that considering jojolion it does lower the odds of that last section

[@CrimsonHexonator]

​@@BatuTetric Still it would be very cool to see a Requiem stand again to end the (likely) last part of JoJo's or the last part that'll be written by Araki. Also considering the fact that this part has part 5 connections, it would be cool to see Diavolo's equivalent with King Crimson Requiem, effectively mirroring part 5's finale by having the protagonist somehow go from advantage against the villain to disadvantage, it could also show how a normal stamd could beat Requiem, considering that Requiem manifests as what the person needs the most, so it isn't unbeatable

[@ricardomartinez8430]

My theory ever since seeing the reveal of howler is that since we had dio with the world return and Kira with killer Queen I feel we will see king crimson and diavalo return as a boss before getting to the real villain of part 9. At first I imagined diavalo as the CEO/ Head of howler with a twist that the group encounters a shy and nerdy personal assistant to the CEO and the only once who interacts with him personally and switches between that personality and the ceo but I can see diavalo with KC as the vice president of howler acting like the last line of defense before getting to the CEO and fighting the real villain of the part
