I guess Okuyasu can erase only what he understands. Even if you may think "If that is how does he know how to erase space ?" it's because it is as complicated as it is simple. He simply erases "everything" that is in front of him. He doesn't erases more complicated concepts such as time or fate because it's simply is not "real enough" for him. So yes, if he was more imaginative or had a deeper understanding of the world around him he'd be one of the most terrifying stand there is.

And when he does fight, he takes the cheap and easy way out, and also doesn't use his stand to it's full potential.

I feel like even if Okuyasu was made smarter, it would come down to how fast he actually is in performing the action of swiping. Even though he can erase “anything,” it is not explicit on what his stand must do physically to make it happen. Giorno didn’t know he was able to regrow limbs and body parts right off the bat, he had to learn how to actually do it. In Okuyasu’s case, he’d have to figure out how to erase something that isn’t in the physical plane like a concept. It’s one thing to think it, it’s another to actually execute it physically.

[@Lokisif34]

Late, but pretty true, in fact with further exploration could he just erase without having to swipe? Like what if the hand could just hold out it's hand and continuously erase space in front of said hand? Or you know, use more than one hand lmao. I also feel like it wouldn't be as hard as one would think, he can erase space but's he's not actually understanding the concept, he just erases everything in front of him. So could he think of time flowing and erase it? How would that even work since the hand seems to only erase with it's hands. Could he just age someone really fast by erasing their time?

@@V.KaiserX no, he said that the "teleportation" ability is limitless speed, because teleporting doesn't count travel speed, it's almost instantaneous, the problem is thay Okuyasu needs to erase the space, but ZA HANDO!!!, is slower than Crazy Diamond, and this one is slower than Star Platinum, so it's very likely that ZA HANDO!!! can't reach light speed levels.

[@noobforever98]

One thing that keeps coming to mind with the "What if Okuyasu was smarter?" Question is lethality. Like yeah The Hand is INCREDIBLY deadly and there's not really a reason why he he didn't kill Kira or RHCP other then he just wasn't that bright. But like...he's a teenager, most of the fights he gets in he isn't trying to go for the kill. Yeah there's a LOT more he could do but imo the most powerful part of the hand is just erasing the opponent which...Okuyasu probably isn't trying to do. Yeah he should just teleport his foes to him/erase their had but other then beating their ass he doesn't really have a nonlethal win state. Idk maybe I'm not smart enough for The Hand either 😅

[@davefernandez4481]

One thing I think that Araki genuinely forgot about when he made the JoJo Veller statement about smart Okuyasu having no limits to what it can scrape away (erase). Is the fact that before Okuyasu met Josuke and the others. He and his brother Keicho were creating stand users with the stand arrow in the hopes they could find someone who could kill their father to put him out of his misery. Remember that Okuyasu's dad has Dio's flesh bud in his body, when Dio died their father transformed and mutated into a creature that couldn't die no matter what the brothers threw at him. That includes Okuyasu's The Hand.

[@theendersmirk5851]

Or Okuyasu, being Okuyasu, didn't want to kill his own father, despite what Keicho told him to do, and couldn't bring himself to do so.

[@davefernandez4481]

@@theendersmirk5851 "Both" of the Nijimura brothers were looking for a stand user who could kill their father.

I would love to see an AU by oraki where okuyasu is just straight up smarter and it goes through his old fights and biggest lows to revisit how they would play out.

[@Skibbutz]

While yes, Okyasu is an idiot, I think the True underlying weakness of The Hand was the part it was written in, let me explain: Part 4 is unique among its peers for its unique "redemption" approach to dealing with its minor antagonists. This comes into immediate opposition with the entire point of The Hand, immediate ahnilation. Every protagonist stand in P4 either avoids causing egregious amounts of bodily harm to its victim or it has a way of undoing said harm, either by its own ability or the fact that Crazy Diamond is usually there to act as a safety net, allowing the Villan to be healed and then redeemed. But the Hand... the Hand just kills people, and it can't even be undone by Crazy Diamond if they manage to survive. So in order for this stand to even exist in its current capacity, and still keep the Redemption stories araki wanted to tell, The Hand HAD to be nerfed, so Araki chose to make its User a moron so he could still make use of The Hand, but provided an excuse as to why The Hand didn't just win every fight.

[@tommynson440]

I feel like smart Okuyasu would have his "scrape the enemy" more as a finisher rather than his primary form of attack, probably relying more on either teleporting himself to the enemy or the enemy to himself and use the momentun to strike harder, also pulling the scenario towards the opponent to strike them.

[@ddm6812]

GER modifies your will to "zero". They only show Diavolo throwing blood at Giorno in order to be able to let the viewers SEE what GER can do, but it changes your will, which means you wouldnt even be able to start an attack towards Giorno. GER wouldnt allow Okuyasus hand to get to him

[@RelativelyBest]

Space isn't really an abstract concept - it's a bit difficult to grasp fully given the way we normally interact with it, but it is something that physically exists in the universe. A better example would be the fact that Okuyasu can erase written letters, including the space that should be left in the words, causing them to contract. (That is to say, he wasn't just erasing the physical pigments used to write the characters.) If The Hand really does not have any limitations on it's ability to erase things and is even able to destroy abstract concepts, then Okuyasu should theoretically have the ability to straight up alter reality. He could erase someone's memories, identity or emotions, cause a color to stop existing (at least locally), cure his father by removing Dio's influence from his body, make someone immortal by _erasing the concept of death,_ or raise the dead by erasing the fact that they died, etc. He may even be able to restore anything he erases by erasing the past and making it so he never did it in the first place.

[@cleanbishop7874]

This video just... isn't right. I'm a fan of this channel, but this isn't a "Creative things a smart Okuyasu could do" video, it is a "What if we make Okuyasu OP and ignore his canon feats" video which feels sort of pointless. Yes, if Jotaro didn't have a time limit to timestop, he'd be quite strong. The "No Limit" is in terms of what CAN BE ERASED, but there ARE limits. You've seen a single sentence from an interview and decided to ignore the rest of the Manga. It must be in the scrape radius, so it can't be larger than the size of the scrape. It could potentially scrape away Tusk Act 4's bullet because the *physical size of the nail* is smaller than the maximum size of what can be erased. If it's too big (Such as a 5ft wide wall) then The Hand only scrapes away and brings together PART of the wall. The whole wall isn't erased on contact. The Love train example is interesting, but ultimately it would depend on IF the barrier was a single, solid object or if it was a constant stream. If it's a constant stream then sure it can be scraped away... but the gap will be closed instantly. The thing it's scraping must be physical. Space exists. There is indeed distance between one object and another. Time however couldn't be scraped away. Time is a concept, and is affected by Gravity and stuff, but unless Okuyasu is erasing a very small object with significant gravitational pull, that's a no. speaking of, Gravity couldn't be scraped away either. You could scrape away Light, but by the time he's finished scraping it, more light would have entered the space the erased light would be in. Okuyasu can only affect that which he can TOUCH with his stand's RIGHT HAND. His teleportation wouldn't be instant. We can see this in the RHCP fight where he scrapes... and RHCP dodges out the way, which causes Okuyasu to teleport behind RCHP. This means that there is indeed time between scrapes, otherwise how did RHCP dodge? RHCP even states this directly. "But... the Hand's Swiping motion... It can't possibly match RHCP's superior speed! You're way too slow!" Further, we know that the teleportation isn't instant because he must finish the scrape, and then there's a small delay before space is warped. See, the Josuke fight where Josuke has time to duck under the plant pots. If it was instaneous, then surely the plant plots would have flown straight away? it's fast, but not instant. And finally. No. Okuyasu cannot keep up with Made In Heaven's speed. Okuyasu isn't increasing his acceleration in anyway, he's erasing space and pulling himself through the erased space, so he's still limited by his Stand's scrape time. RHCP is slower than MiH Pucci, since the characters had no real issue keeping track of RHCP with their eyes unlike Pucci. TL;DR Like the channel, not a fan of this video.

It would've been nice if Rohan just wrote "I am incredibly smart" on Okuyasu.
