User:Tainted
Hello, I'm Tainted. I'm a massive fan of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and an editor on JoJo's Bizarre Encyclopedia.
ABOUT ME
I first started reading JoJo's Bizarre Adventure in 2019. Ever since then, I have taken great interest in analyzing the story, themes, characters, and powers of the series. Over time, the unique power system of Stands drew me in, and I was absolutely impressed by Hirohiko Araki and his techniques. Because of this, I started to post videos on various social media platforms about different parts of the series, giving my take on certain characters and their abilities. I ended up gaining a small following, made a lot of friends (and some enemies), and continued to post for the next 3 years. I decided to stop posting entirely sometime after this. I am currently starting a YouTube channel with Frank.
When it comes to reality, I enjoy playing basketball, studying finance and economy, and traveling. I have 4 years of experience as a professional public speaker and debater.
I am also a fan of other fictional works, such as Goodnight Punpun, Elden Ring, Nightcrawler, and more.
INVOLVEMENT
Considering the JoJo's Bizarre Encyclopedia, my aim is to make sure that the descriptions of abilities, characters, etc. match the original source material(s), and stay in line with what Hirohiko Araki intended. Even though a lot of things in JoJo are left unclear for the interpretation of the reader, it is important to keep those interpretations as close as possible to the logic of the story.
In all, my interest is to make sure that the Wiki can continue to provide JoJo fans with correct, updated information. You might see me working with others in order to make sure that a page is true to its source.
Feel free to message me with any questions regarding descriptions!
POWERSCALING
Yes, even though powerscaling is very hard to apply to JoJo, I have always had an interest in it. Although, I do not have an interest in any inconsistent, unsupported, or headcanon-based arguments. My opinion on the series' power hierarchy always has and always will come from well-established facts, consistency, and my own (logical) interpretation of the story. Even still, there is never one "right" way to answer a question, and our understanding of the story changes all the time.
Regardless, I separate powerscaling from this wiki. There is never a reason to upload chains of argumentation to a place where an average reader comes to find information. For this reason, I request that any and all powerscaling discussions be reduced to one of the options below:
- DMs
- Wiki messages
- VC Calls (preferred) Any server channel (as long as it is not disruptive to other members)
- Live stages (for my YT channel)
If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

MY OPINIONS ON JOJO
Here is a random list of my opinions on the series: (WARNING: SPOILERS)
- My favorite character is Diavolo.
- My favorite part is Steel Ball Run.
- Gold Experience Requiem is the strongest stand.
- I don't think that Araki forgets as much as people say.
- If I had to pick a stand to have in real life, it would be either King Crimson or Heaven's Door.
- Jotaro is definitely the coolest protagonist.
- Stardust Crusaders is criminally underrated, and David Production did an amazing job animating it.
- I'm not a big fan of Jorge Joestar, but I have to admit that it is very wild and fun.
- All-Star Battle R is very hard (maybe I just suck at fighting games).
- People overlook Araki's writing A LOT (this guy sneaks so much good writing in the story it's ridiculous)
- Polnareff and Gyro are very close when it comes to being the best side character.
HOW TO CONTACT ME
