Interview:JOJOVELLER Stand Guide Commentaries: Difference between revisions

|Translation = It's the [[Jotaro Kujo|main character]]'s Stand, so I made it a simple, combat-oriented type. It's designed to look like a guardian spirit. The shoulder pads look like ''{{W|Fist of the North Star}}''? The spiral patterns symbolize the [[Ripple]] and the concept of infinity.

|Translation = It's the Stand of the [[JosephBattle JoestarTendency|previous part]]'s [[Joseph Joestar|main character]], so I wanted a departure from the humanoid appearance. Ultimately, it got more scenes to show off, but I was trying to make a Stand that wasn't very combat-oriented.

|Translation = I wanted some color balance between the allies and enemies, so he ended up green. And, [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]] mentions this too, but green kindakind of reminds youone of melons (laughs). At that time, I was really into green, and a lot of my illustrations were also heavy on the greens!

|Translation = Since Star Platinum had a more human appearance, I went with a design that was a mix of European armor and a robotic look. Contrasting punches with a sword! Both [[Jean Pierre Polnareff|Polnareff]] and Chariot are fun characters to draw. They're classic-style, and highly mobile.

|Translation = It's a ghost ship. Also, I might have been thinking about the tale of the {{W|Mary Celeste}}, which was found adrift and unmanned. I might have made its user [[Forever|host a monkey]] due to influence from the movie ''{{W|Link (film)|Link}}''.

|Translation = The idea came from Chucky in ''{{W|Child's Play (1988 film)|Child's Play}}'', among other horror movies. The design of the doll is based on an {{W|Shamanism|African shaman}}. I went with a distinctive, primal design.

|Translation = You've got a car coming after you, like in ''{{W|Duel (1971 film)|Duel}}'' or ''{{W|Christine (1983 film)|Christine}}''. The Designdesign is a 60's-7060s or 's70s American car remodeled to look like an animal. The [[ZZ|Stand's masteruser]] existsis onlyjust toa make agag jokecharacter.

|Translation = This isn't a tournament fight, so you can have a weak, tiny enemy right after a huge, powerful enemy. I'd say its appearance is something like the robot from ''{{W|Short Circuit (1986 film)|Short Circuit}}'', crossed with a tick or a fly.

|Translation = When you have a Stand representing the sun, I think this is really the only option (laughs). I depicted himit as a really strong enemy to make you think the fight's going to drag on for several weeks, but it's all a feint and heit gets knockeddefeated outin rightno awaytime.

|Translation = One way to make a story interesting is theThe mystery behind trying to find who thean enemy's identity is one of ''JoJo''{{'}}s strong points. So, here, we have a world within [[Mannish Boy|a baby]]'s dream. The Stand's design uses a Venetian carnival mask.

|Translation = The design was influenced by Mr. {{W|Shotaro Ishinomori}}'s ''{{W|Kamen Rider}}'' and ''{{W|Kikaider}}''. Of course, its ability was based off ofon the story of ''{{W|Aladdin|Aladdin and the Magic Lamp}}''.

|Translation = This one has a motif of an African shaman's traditional dress. It looks like it's wearing a straw raincoat or something. [[Midler|The hostuser is [[Midler|a woman]], but I didn't make herit look verytoo feminine, so that it would become as more unexpectedof a surprise.

|Translation = I wanted to add [[Iggy|a pet]] to the team at some point. Whites and blacks are easy to depict in manga, so that's how I chose his breed. The design is a fusion of dog and car. His desert sand ability also inspired some Native American elements.

|Translation = I heard about someone drowning from a cup of water in a wash basin, and thought it would be cool to have someone drown in a desert. [[N'Doul]] was based off ofon {{W|Zatoichi}}. In my mind, Zatoichi is just a scary guy, rather than the hero.

|Translation = I do wonder what would happen if a person became a magnet. It was around this time that I was writing the manuscript for [[Eccentrics Episode 1|a story]] about {{W|Nikola Tesla}} in the manuscript to (''[[The Lives of Eccentrics]]''), and I was pretty interested in electromagnetism at that time.

|Translation = I wanted to draw a showdown between cheaters. It's been a tradition to do since my first work, ''[[Poker Under Arms]]'' (laughs). The Stand's visuals are another fusion of an African-style design with mecha elements.

|Translation = This one's kinda creepy, looking like just a regular bird skeleton. HeIt's [[Iggy]]'s enemy in a battle between animals. As you'd expect, [[Pet Shop|an enemy that attacks from the air]] is pretty strong.

|Translation = Modeled after a military robot. The cool part is how it looks like it's half man and half puppet. It was at this point that I started adding hearts to my designs, which eventually ties into [[Josuke Higashikata|Josuke]]'s [[Crazy Diamond|Stand]].

|Translation = A Stand I put in to add some resting time to the story. I really like {{W|Kenny G}}'s sax music, so I'm sorry to him for making him a disposable mook...

|Translation = A Stand where youthat eatdevours yourselfitself... I was thinking about nothingness and infinity. The design comes from the Grim Reaper and executioners. Like,It's thelike guysan executioner that decapitatedmight decapitate peoplesomeone in medieval France.

|Translation = It's a Stand that I designed as a boss initiallyfirst and foremost, to contrast with [[Star Platinum]]'s color and other traits. By countering Star Platinum's super speed with time stop, we get a battle between two characters with similar abilities.

|Translation = A Stand that has the ultimate kindness. [[Star Platinum]] is kind of blackish, so I gave this one a contrasting color scheme. [[Josuke Higashikata|Josuke]] has an out-of-date appearance, but he keeps it that way on purpose.

|Translation = I think the idea for this came from ''{{W|G.I. Joe}}'' action figures and the like. Anyway, I wanted to make a Stand unlike any other I'd done before. So, this Stand is an entire army that emerges from a single soul.

|Translation = A suspense story where you're trapped by a psychological attack, in Stand form. This extortion ability puts a lock on your heart. I gradually shrunk the [[Tamami Kobayashi|hostuser]] down so ithe would be easier to have himcould interact with [[Koichi Hirose|Koichi]] more easily.

|Translation = At first, I made it look like an alien larva. Then, it would gradually grow to adulthood. Anyway, I wanted to draw [[Koichi Hirose|Koichi]]'s growth, so I designed it knowing it would change forms.

|Translation = It's got its own personality, so it's like a friend... It's the image of [[Koichi Hirose|Koichi]] made into a Stand. I thought that, if youI cancould turn sound into a physical object, youI cancould probably do thatso with gravity, too.

|Translation = Did I have one of these dolls on hand? If anything, I was more interested in drawing how tricky its [[Toshikazu Hazamada|hostuser]] was. Judging by the screw on its forehead, it might have been based off of the copy robot in ''{{W|Perman}}''.

|Translation = A horror that's close to you in your daily life. Like ''{{W|Misery (novel)|Misery}}'', maybe? In ''shojo'' comics in the '80s, girls were objects to be longed for, but from the '90s on, there were more stories with strong girls in lead roles.

|Translation = It's a cooking Stand, so I gave it a somewhat crazy appearance based off of tomatoes and Italian vegetables. The idea was, how"How can I create suspense using cooking as the theme?"

|Translation = When I saw thea dinosaur with a strong headbutt from ''[https://anilist.co/manga/168256/Kyoryu-Daikiko Kyoryu Daikiko]'', I thought, "this one is cool!" Also, the way he's strong despite being small might have been influenced by ''{{W|Frieza|Freeza}}'' from ''{{W|Dragon Ball}}''.

|Translation = It's an ability that turns people into books, so I figured it didn't need a physical form of its own. For the characters that appear in [[Diamond is Unbreakable|Part 4]], I tried to depict only depict their interactions with [[Josuke Higashikata|Josuke]], without clearly defining whether they were allies or enemies, good or evil.

|Translation = A cat and a skullskulls... It's a simple design, but I really like it. The design of the gloves and belt are nice, too. When you consider a bomb-based ability, you can do just about anything, so it was tough to work with.

|Translation = Around this time, everyone was talking about beauty shops and cosmetic surgery, so I thought I'd add [[Aya Tsuji|an aesthetician]]. For the appearance, I combined a feminine silhouette with elements of beauty salon equipment and the image of a dentist.

|Translation = Based off of [[Killer Queen]]'s face, while giving off an aura like nothing in the world can break it... so, itIt's a tiny little tank. The dagger on its forehead represents an assassin, maybe?

|Translation = The Stand's name comes from the {{W|Pink Floyd}} album ''{{W|Atom Heart Mother}}''. The idea came to me because I thought it would be cool to have a cursed photo as a Stand.

|Translation = I envisioned a guardian spirit protecting [[Ken Oyanagi|a young boy]]. The design might have come from the {{W|Tetsujin 28-go|robots}} from {{W|Mr. Mitsuteru Yokoyama}}'s manga or something like that. That's why it's got the rows of rivets and the mask over its mouth, and stuffsuch.

|Translation = I wanted to draw the character of [[Mikitaka Hazekura]]. He’s a self-proclaimed "space alien," but whether he’s truly that or a Stand user remains a mystery! Within the worldviewworld of ''JoJo'', aliens are just barely acceptable.

|Translation = The motif is a piggyback monster. That, plus a touch of horror where you can't turn around. It's more of a supernatural creature than a Stand. Its [[Masazo Kinoto|hostuser]] is justsimply a pitiable man...

|Translation = I didn't want to make a Stand that could do anything, so by splitting up its abilities up like this, I added a limitation of sorts.
