The Most Terrifying Stands: Wonder of U

araki stubbed his toe and said "thats a stand"

Part 3: “oh so you’re approaching me?” Part 8: “so you want me to approach you?”

The Wonder of U literally just stands still in a Room for 10+ chapters while Josuke and Mamezuku have the fight of their lifes.

Random person: discovers Kira’s identity and mentions head doctor at the same time Bites the dust: please, after you Wonder of u: no no, I insist

"How would the spin affect the wonder of U?" Well it looks like were gonna find out soon.

If DIO had had Wonder of U, the crusaders wouldn't even got out of Jotaro's house to go to Egypt. They'd die in there.

"TS stands can't spam TS" Polnareff getting sent down the stairs: this aint a balanced game💀💀💀💀💀

I wouldn’t say he’s 100% the second strongest stand, but he’s definitely the strongest base stand. By which I mean, WoU is the strongest stand without any external factors that modify his power and abilities. No requiems, no love trains, no over heavens, just a ludicrously strong stand.

I like how the power it goes with the villains. Part 1-2: A supernatural being Part 3-6: Time Manipulation Part 7-8: Fate or Luck

If Kira and Diavolo got their stand abilities to avoid people, how paranoid must Wonder of U's master be...

9:47 No joke, right when you said that a book fell off my shelf and hit me in the head, causing me to jerk my head downwards and hit my bowl of cereal, which made the spoon fling a frosted mini wheat into my eye

The thing about power scaling of Wonder of U, and how people compares it with other stands, is that people ALWAYS assumes the situation is perfect for the other stand. Every time, when people say "what about XXX they can beat Wonder of U". And the answer is, NO. Every time people say things about Sheer Heart Attack or Weather report or Ma Yo Yo can beat it, everyone assumes that the user just suddenly knew everything about Wonder of U and how it works, instantly wanting to fight and kill it, and then teleported right in front of it and killed it with one blow. No, it most likely wouldn't. It's simple for a lot of stands to beat Wonder of U in a assumed situation with no context, where everything is perfect for the stand, but it's not. To beat Wonder of U You need to: know the existence of this stand + be curious about it+ find imformations about it and research about its mystery + knowing its true form and ability + wanting to kill it + finding its location + go to that location + fight it. With deadly calamity following you every step of the way, wanting to kill you unrelentingly. That's why Wonder of U is so stupidly strong and overpowered, any other stand, no matter how strong they are, need to be confronted directly in a battle or at least have the user activate it to show its power, but Wonder of U doesn't, it starts to attack you no matter where you are, the moment you start knowing about ITS EXISTENCE. You most likely won't able to know that calamity falls onto you upon presuiting, without being struck by calamity. Which could kill you in the first place. You don't have a perfect situation where you suddenly know everything about the stand, instantly teleported in front of it and start a face to face battle. No, you need to gradually investigate and know its ability to even start thinking about fighting it, and it can already kill you during this process. Maybe even Valentine will step out of the light barrier in this process and got beaten by calamity. That's why Wonder of U is second.

isn't it funny how the secret Joestar Technique is actually really effective against this ability

I wonder who the head doct- fingers break while typing

The concept of Wonder Of U is actually quite interesting because it embodies a quality that a number of villains seem to possess: That fate favors them and opposes the heroes. Consider how Yoshikage Kira seemed to have incredibly good fortune, or Dio Brando for that matter. Just when it seemed like they might lose before the final act, fate hands them the advantage. Meanwhile the heroes have to regularly fight against bad luck throwing obstacles in their way. Wonder Of U is that concept made manifest, an agent of fate and destiny conspiring against anyone or anything seeking to hinder the villain and unleashing all the obstacles that fate can assemble in the path of the hero. Wonder of U takes a seeming passive ability that villains in Jojo seemed to possess, kicks it up to 11, and turns it into a freakin' superpower. It's like if all of the luck that Diavolo didn't have was instead stored away for later use by this stand. And let's be honest, Diavolo was the absolute unluckiest villain to ever exist in all of Jojo.

"Part 8 Stands are incredibly nerfed and hyper-specific," they said...

It's just Black Sabbath: Love Train: Bites the Dust

I think what makes WoU so terrifying is that you NEED to have multiple people in order to stand a chance against it. It feels impossible to win against something like this in 1v1.

I feel like everyone underestimates Vanilla ice. He’s definitely up there for strongest in the verse. Dude and his stand literally can’t be hurt 90% of the time, can’t be seen 90% of the time, and completely destroy anything it comes in contact with it, plus he himself is also a vampire like Dio, giving him a physical edge on top of everything else. His only weakness is that he can’t see without making himself vulnerable, so he just has to guess where the enemy is.
