Seriously, Parts 4-6 just have a bunch of psychic bullshit where people who draw manga all day can kick the booty of your average Ripple user. Also, they don't use enough Vampires. This whole series was founded upon fighting vampires, and now it's about doing the most specific thing to screw over a person whose psyche manifests as some Super Sentai villain.
But the "psychic bullshit" is exactly what makes JoJo JoJo. While the Ripple stuff was good and all it doesn't hold a candle to some of the stuff that goes on with the stands. They give Araki a chance to use his creativity to it's fullest and make for interesting and complex battles and situations.
And have you read part 7?
The main characters use what is essentially Ripple, only using stands to augment itBut ya see, the Ripple stuff, while fantastical, was grounded in reality somewhat, and had logic. These stands can do whatever random shit the guy thinks of when he's bored. Like, he looks at an electrical tower, and thinks, "Hey, that would make the perfect enemy for the next few weeks!" or looks at some Tessellations, and thinks, "Hey, I'm gonna have this as a filler villain for that other filler villain to help the main character kill, because he's a student who kills people with no repercussions."
The main characters also became a big bunch of dicks who have, "Hey, look what I can do with my ear!" and "I do sexy poses when I'm getting cavity searched!" as their most interesting traits.
Those stands ruined the whole Spin thing.
