[Introduction]
In most manga out there, we're never starting at the absolute beginning. The point is never there. Instead, we begin at the beginning of our
main character's life before their later change as they're usually the series's focus. But, what about the world before the protagonist? What lore are we working within this universe,
what untold stories are there to explore? This video is going to be on the world of
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. I may do more franchises after this, but that's
for later. [Kars]
The oldest recorded thing we have in JoJo is Kars. That's easy because we know how that went
due to seeing his entire backstory in Battle Tendency. But I think what warrants thought here is
what Kars did and the gravity of it, realistically. Kars wanted to become the ultimate lifeform,
and there's nothing wrong with setting some goals. The problem that the other Pillar Men had
with it is, "Hey, if we all become hungry for people, what happens to people?" And the worry makes sense because who would
want to be the goldfish of people. Goldfish being an invasive species. Anyways, Kars didn't take kindly to that,
neither did they, huge brawl, Kars and Esidisi killed everyone. Now when you look back to that backstory,
it's like, "Oh man, that's messed up, Kars." But when you take a step back and look the
situation, that is a pretty large problem. Kars took out everyone. Family, friends, cousins, other potential
geniuses, everyone! When Itachi took out the Uchiha clan, we weren't
allowed to forget that. Kars wiped everyone and kept it moving. Now, obviously, that's a false equivalence
here, but it is a huge plot point and the event being something we breeze through is
honestly surprising. I guess that since we didn't see anyone that
survived the terror of Kars, the story wasn't one worthy of telling, but there are two main
things I would've liked to see. The Pillar Men society before the incident
is one. The other is the potential tale of the other
Pillar Men that have walked the earth. Because what I'm going to tell you in the
next part of this video may get some people thinking. [Stand Meteorite]
The second oldest phenomenon is the stand meteorite. If you're not familiar, about 50,000 years
ago (in the world of JoJo), a meteorite had landed somewhere in Greenland. Now, there was someone who had wanted the
power of the gods. This man goes unnamed, but he's believed to
be the reason for our stands in JoJo. Because in addition to finding the rock, he
fashioned pieces of it into what we know as the "Stand Arrows." Now, tell me if this sounds familiar to you—a
man wanting the power of the gods. I think Kars, and Dio, mainly. At least in JoJo. Here's what I'm proposing: This stand creator
is crucial and most likely has some sort of huge story to tell if we were to get into
it. I have a little theory that the stand arrow
creator most likely connects to us fairly easily through gravity that draws all things,
JoJo, together. Now, if you want the longest yard theory shot
possible, look at the Stand arrow creator and his fit. Look at the elder Pillar lady, and look back
to him. I don't know if Araki would have something
off the top of his head, maybe more so in his manga logs, but if he were to make a connection
to the creator of the stand arrows and pillar men, that would be wild. I imagine is that there was a group of pillar
men that had flown the coup to wander the earth and see what's out there. Or at least he somehow connects to someone
like Enya. I remember how many people had the idea that
the Elder Pillar Man lady and Enya look like they could be related or something, but we're
all just throwing some headcanon here. A different idea that I had is that, imagine
that the creator was like Dio with his pursuit of power, but someone close to him took him
down. Something! But all we know is that there was a man, he
made some arrows, and that was it. [77 Rings]
Next! The 77 Rings! Now, this is a little thing that you might
not know about in JoJo because it one of the things that didn't follow into the anime. The "77 Rings" was this challenge in the middle
age times. It's a challenge where you climb 10 kilometers
of the northern mountain roads wearing heavy armor. You also have to pass cliffs, rivers, and
77 opponents. After you defeat an opponent, you get a metal
bracelet and have to wear it on your body. This situation sounds pretty bad already,
but by the time you're at the 77th warrior, you are carrying over 100 kilograms of weight
on you now. That is over 220 pounds for my fellow outdated
imperial system users. What was interesting with this challenge is
that this is something that both Bruford and Tarkus did. Only five people have completed this challenge,
and they're two of them. We also get news of who the other three are
in the Phantom Blood Ps2 game. Shout out to JoJowiki for this. With a challenge comes a tale. Who are these strong characters? Are there more like them? What was this world like at this time? Many questions, lots of theorizing comes later. [Hamon Clan]
Now, for the Hamon Clan, and Hamon in general. This ancient technique was one of our first
experiences with powers in JoJo. With such a large phenomenon, you'd think
that we'd be working with a lot more. But! Since we switched our priorities to stands
because of creative differences and Hamon being unable to match the power creep, the
technique got left behind. There's so much to work with as a side story! The Pillar Men thought they wiped out everyone,
but Hamon continued? Who was the first one to get this started? Plus, there's the whole connection with Hamon
and hermit purple going on. Did you think it just stopped with Joseph? Tonpetty sees into the future, this is a thing,
and we need to push this dialogue. You can look to a few of my older videos for
some of it, but yeah. [Gods of JoJo]
And finally, since this will be a large group of things, the supernatural, of the more spectral
variety. I had done a video on the Gods of Millionaire
Village, and when you consider some of the other things you see in our parts and Thus
Spoke Rohan Kishibe, it's interesting. We know that "Yokai" exist due to "Mutsu-kabe
Hill." There is also the Alley where you could've
met Reimi Sugimoto, and there's a bunch of other spirit stuff going on there. In addition to that, we've seen Deadman's
Questions become a thing, which was after getting taken away by the hands. JoJo is more than zombies, vampires, and stands. There are a lot more paranormal things going
on in this bizarre world, and maybe we'll see more through spin-offs like Thus Spoke
Rohan Kishibe. This video was a more speculative piece than
anything, so with that in mind, if there are any weird things from JoJo or any other series,
be sure to comment! Also, if you’ve noticed corner of the video,
you’ll see the manga or dvd where you can find the specific panels and or clips. If you wanted this stuff and wanted to support
the official release, you can go to my Amazon store in the description! Thank you all for watching, and hopefully
I'll see you all in the next one! Until then, peace out, and godspeed.
