So I was having more Jotaro In Italy thoughts and.
I’ve just been having so many thoughts of Jotaro being an the most confusing thing ever because how how he’s both incredibly secretive but also rather obvious about what his Stand does.
Jotaro does not trust these people as far as they could throw him. He met Giorno about a day ago and everyone else a few minutes ago. He knows that they are part of a literal mafia in which the boss seems to have been the direct cause of his best friend’s disappearance, and he is currently plotting to kill that boss alongside Giorno.
So he sure as hell ain’t going to go out of his way to trust them. He won’t antagonize them, but he’s not going to go and tell them his skills or abilities.
And this gets. Interesting very quickly.
First there’s the piss teacup that Abbaccio tries to do, and Jotaro just uses Star to make it seem like there was never any “tea” in it at all. The Gang know he has a Stand, so this starts their guessing.
Then it’s time to leave for the boat. And they realize that they can’t actually fit everyone in the car.
So Jotaro says he’ll walk.
Bucciarati asks if his Stand has travel abilities. Jotaro says no. The Gang are, naturally, skeptical and Abbaccio tells Joot that if he isn’t there by the time they arrive, they’re leaving without him.
Imagine their surprise when Jotaro is waiting for them by the time they get there. After all, being thrown over rooftops mixed with the occasional time stop makes for quite efficient travel.
But of course, he doesn’t explain.
Then the boat. Oh joy the boat.
So a few hours in, Bucciarati starts explaining what exactly they’re doing all the way out here. Jotaro mostly hangs back since he doesn’t see any need to get closer and he can hear Bucciarati just fine from where he is.
This also means he’s able to see Soft Machine popping out and do something about it.
and just. Jotaro accidentally being absolutely terrifying
He’s holding Soft Machine with what appears to be his bare hands, a tiny shimmer of purple being the only thing to betray the usage of his Stand. His words are calm and collected, not betraying a single thought. Maybe the Stand tries stabbing him, only to get its wrist snapped like a twig without any seen cause
of course, once Zucchero’s caught, they’re a bit distracted by having to deal with the fact that a Stand User is going to be waiting for them to kill them so they don’t have time to ask questions.
In fact, it probably isn’t until sometime after Trish that they actually see Star properly
and until them, Jotaro is simply a terrifying enigma
