In this corner, the question was asked, "If you could use a stand as a manga editor, what stand would you like to use? He answered, "Star Platinum, I think. If I could use my ability to stop time, The World, I would be able to extend deadlines, etc. However, Mr. Araki works so fast that there was no need to use The World," he replied, eliciting a sigh of admiration for Araki's work ethic. He replied, "Not DIO. I don't think he has that much of an evil heart."
