I like part 5 but I'm not impartial. It was the first manga or comic book I ever read. I like that it has relatively little baggage compared to the rest of Jojo. It's a part that's pretty focused on action and it marked a new direction of Araki's style.

Yeah I'll fully admit, I don't really know what the fuck Soft and Wet or Paisly Park actually does. It feels like if Araki needs something to be done, it just works. At least with the previous Protagonist stands, I get the "logic" behind the powers at minimum.

I remember a post on /a/ who pointed out "there are three stands in Jojolion that do whatever Araki needs them to" (S&W, PP, and Paper Moon King)

By the end of JJL, Paisley Park can apparently hack any electronic and also take on its properties, but in exchange it moves from device to device at the speed of a person more-or-less rather than as fast as electricity. An educated Yasuho could probably quickly become the richest person in the world by hacking crypto and also learn a ton of government secrets. I guess Kyo had to bring the phone to Josuke because PP needs a conduit to act around as a surrogate for the stand user's body.

Honestly I think Soft & Wet was pretty fine until ~99 when it became a gun. It's mentioned that 'something' is spinning at high speeds in the bubbles to shred things, and then for the rest of the manga it's just accepted that Josuke's stand is now Tusk.
