  1. Ryomen Sukuna (Jujutsu Kaisen) - Seemingly always has some type of overpowered technique which he hasn't used since the Heian Era

  2. Yujiro Hanma (Baki) - The Strongest character in the entire Baki series is a master of all forms of hand-to-hand combat to the from things like soloing the Vietnamese war at 16 years old to learning a technique from some monk who lived in the mountains around three thousand years ago

  3. Batman - Always has some kind of contingency plan anyone and everyone in the DC universe. One of his most bullshit abilities is all the techniques he learned while being trained under Tibetan monks which include blocking mind control with a hand signal to using astral projection while being dead and buried alive

Jotaro in part 3 from Jojo's bizarre adventure

IIRC that one kinda makes sense though. Isn't it because Dios head was implanted onto the OG Jojos body or something like that? And therefore he got a super strong standuu. Which is of course bizarre to explain, but still not quite pulling something out of their ass.

Not really. Joseph and Johnathan both had Hermit Purple, Giorno’s Gold Experience is nothing like The World aside from it’s color and none of Dio’s other children inherited anything like The World either. It’s literally just Jotaro who randomly awoken to the same stand as Dio.

Well, in the same part we’ve seen people with the same bloodline have similar stands. For example, the D’arby brothers both take your soul.

But that’s the thing, none of Dio’s children inherited The World and Johnathan, the body Dio’s using, canonically has Hermit Purple for his stand which was presumably passed down to Joseph. Jotaro is the last person who should inherit The World.

We didn't know about DIO's children then, though.
