Stand Cry
The Cry is suggested or depicted as being made in rhythm and intensity with the attack of the Stand, as usually very rapid, strong, and unbroken.
The Stand Cry is among the trademarks of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, as used by many central Stand users.
Origin
It is presumed that the Stand Cry originated with Fist of the North Star; in which protagonist Kenshiro (in a style after film star Bruce Lee) typically throws very rapid punches while crying "ATATATATATATAT ... !".
The most popular Cry, "ORA ... !", originates with Japanese onomatopoeia; whilst "MUDA ... !" represents a Japanese word. Others come from English and Italian.
Earlier in the series, in a style common to action-oriented manga, certain characters would scream the names of their attacks (including Jonathan,Joseph and Dio); so it is possible that the Stand Cry follows from this.
