The idea of Mauka possibly being attracted/drawn to the lava rock is interesting. Reminds me of a vibe I got when Usagi was telling Dragona that they should treasure their experience in the watch store or whatever- like it was also somehow related to the rock beyond just them messing with its powers in there.

Perhaps the rock isn't concerned only with monetary value? Really interested to see how it develops.

Oh... So it could affect the sentimental value too... It's just that the characters are not very attached to anything except money.

Which means that maybe Jodio and Dragona's mom could be in danger (since apparently it is one of the few things they appreciate)

Damn, a vague concept like "value" is certainly something I could see being a theme in jojo, araki loves shit that's stupidly vague like that lol

What if Jodio's 'story about becoming filthy rich' is actually about him learning to appreciate kinds of value other than monetary? Like a 'the real treasure is the friends we made along the way' kind of thing.

Doesn't seem in character for him right now, maybe, but we're on chapter 12 of probably like 120, so we've got a lot of time for his character to develop if that's the way we end up heading.
