“

In this book, a new ability called a Stand is introduced. Stands are psychic powers given a visible form and shape. Traditionally, these kinds of powers were shown with light and electric effects, or through aftereffects like crumbling buildings. I asked myself, "How can I express this invisible power?" That's how I came up with Stands. Now let's begin a new adventure with Jotaro and his friends!

この巻から『スタンド』と呼ばれる新しい能力が出てきますが、それは超能力を絵でイメージ化したものです。
従来の超能力はビルを崩したり光や電気のようなものでパワーの強さを表現していました。目に見えない超能力、それ自体を表現できないかなぁと思って考え出したのが『スタンド』です。
さあ！　承太郎たちといっしょに新しい冒険の旅にでかけましょう。
