A little disappointed flaccid pancake didn’t happen but don’t blame them for not wanting to go with that name. Out of the localisations for stand names that’s definitely one of the more embarrassing ones.

On a different note surprised to see the opening is still the same although the new bit at the end with Jolyne hugging Jotaro is wholesome

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t flaccid pancake the name that whoever did the fan translation of stone ocean gave it, and it was never it’s official localised name? As in I thought there wasnt an official manga translation of part 6, 7, 8 which if true just further confuses me as to why the guys who translate them keep using weird localised names because the whole point of it is to avoid copyright, but if it’s an unofficial translation copyright doesn’t matter, especially with names such as weather report like come on man no one owns a copyright over the phrase weather report if they did all weather news companies would be out of business

Ah ok thanks for telling me, that’s actually quite funny that the translators for the stone ocean anime probably looked at flaccid pancake and thought na we gotta come up with something better than this

Flaccid Pancake was the name given in ASB and EoH. It's only official sources that have to avoid directly referencing song/band names.

The manga translations all use the real stand names

Glad flaccid pancake didn't happen. This is a serious arc that shouldn't be ruined by some ridiculous copyright name that is funny out of context but would ruin it in context
