Origins And Talents
Inside a departure in the manner which other Joestars acquired their Stand abilties — usually by naturally awakening them— in preceding instances of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, Jolyne first acquired Stone Free after being cut by an amulet. This item was later revealed to become a disguised Stand-creating arrowhead sent by Jotaro when his daughter was initially incarcerated. Introduced progressively, first starting with Jolyne’s uncanny capability to eavesdrop on conversations from considerable distances, the real nature of Stone Free involves light during the period of her confrontation together with her cellmate Gwess.
At first glance, Stone Free is basically a detailed-range Stand with incredible speed and strength, similar to Jotaro’s very effective Stand Star Platinum, highlighted even more within the similarities between their particular punch rushes. However, in which the two differ is within their auxiliary abilities. While Star Platinum materialises almost entirely when called, Jolyne first materialises Stone Free by means of string, gradually building its full as she gains more proficiency in manipulating it. Typically, the string is proven to emanate from her fingertips, and it is stored inside her body itself. This enables Jolyne to freely manipulate the string with the motion of her hands.
Appearance And Character Design
Boasting a stature, physique, and character similar to Jolyne herself, Stone Free, in the full humanoid form adopts a blue and grey color plan. Donning a set of shades whose coloration differs from eco-friendly to grey or a variety of other colors based on variations within the anime’s aesthetic palette, the Stand’s face features four blade-like protrusions running from the upper jaw to the rear of its neck. A set of cones with flattened tips cover the area round the ears. Overall, the Stand adopts a comparatively stoic and composed attitude, in addition to the occasions it’s deployed in combat.
Ellipsoidal shoulder pads, adorned having a python snakeskin pattern and hexagonal knee pads, resembling aquamarine gems provide reinforcement against enemy attacks whilst remaining in keeping with the partly armored designs possessed by other close-range Stands. On its forearms, lower arms, fingers, and calves, gently-colored patches reveal the real string-based structure of their body, using the fibers themselves wound horizontally. Finally, the Stand’s system is replete with numerous gently-colored bumps, always spaced evenly apart. On its knuckles, the bumps undertake a far more armored and well-defined appearance and therefore are colored gold.
Unravelling The Threads Of Fate
One of the most impressive options granted through the Stand’s string-based ability is the development of constructs exhibiting a variety of material qualities, from sharp objects to elastic bands and surfaces. In addition, certainly one of Jolyne’s best defensive measures from the threat exerted by other Stands is thru the development of expansive nets which permit her to trap harmful adversaries and track their movements as needed. She will generate additional thread by unraveling areas of her body, create complex patterns to render images for example portraits, form barriers to prevent projectiles for example bullets, and lastly, hear on conversations or occasions occurring far away by obtaining vibrations.
However, some point of contradiction within the Stand’s depiction through the anime comes from the force and qualities from the thread itself. At certain junctures, Stone Free’s string is sharp enough to slice through flesh with the use of sufficient pressure, and also at others, it’s proven to become fairly pliant and weak, even snapping very easily when pulled.
In certain situations, Jolyne may even create tougher strings or constructs when needed, by winding multiple strings together. In addition, the strings also extend and contract similar to muscles themselves, permitting her to get objects or wind around them. Closing up wounds with stitches is yet another oft-used ability, because the strings are part of Jolyne herself. This enables her to have interaction directly along with other Stands, and prevents her from taking any damage when other users snap her strings.
Like Father, Like Daughter
Occurring Stone Free’s full humanoid form happens via a process where Jolyne gathers up a substantial volume of string and meshes it altogether. Even though the Stand it this type is very effective, boasting considerable speed and strength at an amount that may dominate most opponents in close quarters combat, this limits its range considerablyto around 2 meters, where Stone Free’s strings could achieve distances over 15-20 meters. Regardless of this, a few of the benefits afforded with this form are of great benefit, enhancing its speed to some degree in which the Stand can effortlessly deflect bullets. This ability is really a signature of Jotaro’s Stand Star Platinum and Giorno Giovanna’s Gold Experience, whose speed and expectional strength have permitted these to shield users from barrages of gunfire and melee attacks regularly.
Besides all of this, possibly Stone Free’s most legendary characteristic is its utilization of punch rushes, that are a signature of Joestars and also the series in general, as observed in the situation of Star Platinum, Crazy Gemstone, as well as Gold Experience. Able to effortlessly decimating almost any opponent inside a melee contest, these attacks, delivered in quick succession, in a frenzied pace, offer rival combatants almost no time to react or perhaps process the harm being worked for them. Supported by Jolyne’s own rendition of Jotaro’s now legendary “ORA-ORA-ORA” Stand Cry, this weapon in Stone Free’s arsenal isn’t to become trifled with, getting been accountable for a number of her triumphs in major fights throughout Stone Sea.
