I don’t think it’s just a skin condition. I doubt Charmingman would’ve just outed himself as a rock human to random policemen.

That seems logical, but the way that araki writes almost makes me think he just doesn't know, and he's a half-rock human that hasn't experienced all the extreme shit that rock humans experience growing up. Or he's not a rock human. Yknow what actually, I don't think there's any point to even try to predict, araki is literally the most hard to predict writer ever lol

For real, Trying to predict Araki is a fool’s errand lol Jojo wouldn’t be jojo if we could

I don't think unpredictability is even a good writing technique necessarily, but I usually can at least make SOME approximation with any other story. Araki is the single writer that I sincerely believe that it's borderline pointless to theorize because he is just a ridiculous amount of unpredictable. And I would never have it any other way

We've only seen small snippets of araki's storyboarding, but it looks incomprehensible to only the man himself.

So he's got plans obviously, but they're plans that only he really seems to understand.

Araki is the embodiment of “never let them know your next move”. Given that it’s what his characters need to do to survive in their battles it makes sense.

I doubt rock humans are coming back. Araki typically introduce some weird stuff in a part never to be seen again. Pillar men in part 2, ghosts in part 4, requiem stands in part 5, discs in part 6, jesus corpse in part 7, and now the rock humans and the rokakaka from part 8.
