Story of the Pillar Men

The background for the Pillar Men as a species, and for Kars in particular.

[KhanhNguyen-mhec]

Having a pillar women would totally distract Joseph in an instant.

[justarandomsovietofficerwi]

I can't believe that Kars did all this only for him to be yeeted into space by a man who thought that his own mother was hot.

[Dekomlev]

so basically, Kars is the DIO of their race

[Beriorn]

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: where even the nameless background extras that were killed 10.000 years ago as part of the villain's backstory strike fabulous poses.

If Kars had let a Pillar woman join his group all those years ago, Joseph would have lost from the start.

I’m so glad to live among a man like Hirohiko Araki who has lived long enough to share with us the story of his people

[Darth_Bateman]

Those Pillar Ladies tho. . . . . . . .

[DraculaCronqvist]

I think that people are forgetting one important thing. Kars, Esidisi, Wamuu and (maybe) Santana all used the Stone Mask, thus enhancing their abilities. "Ordinary" Pillar Men were probably much weaker than them and didn't have eternal life (they still had children, so they weren't completely immortal), nor elemental modes, likely (Santana had no elemental mode, which leads me to believe that he's an ordinary Pillar Man unlike his three comrades). Remember, there was an old Pillar Woman in this very scene. if she was immortal, why would she look old unless she was in the last stages of her life?

The Pillar Men we see in the main story are basically the vampires of the Pillar Men - or rather, they are the Pillar Men and the race they originally belonged to which is shown here had no name.

[spiderclabaslashiearea]

This actually made Kars way scarier in a way. Bro literally had such a strong ambition to the point where he was willing to kill off his entire race.

[adriansimonsen]

When you realize that Kars and Esidisi are canonically better parents than Jotaro

I like how this presents itself like a anime unto itself

[QuintetMagician]

So if Wammu and Santana (according to the wiki) are 12, 000 and 10, 000 years old in part 2 (respectively), then that means a Wamuu is 2, 000 years older than Santana, meaning since he was a baby when Kars and Eisidisi took them away, that a 2, 000 year old (at LEAST) Pillar Man would still be a baby. Huh. Interesting.

[FIENDXIX]

Geez they were basically a peaceful society comprised entirely of extremely long lived attractive perfect bodied models who didnt like sunlight... wtf Kars! why would you need to be all powerful when you had a paradise situation, at the very least you should have spared one or two of the females,

[justanormalcat]

You see those Pillar Ladies, see Araki isn't gay, he's attracted to woMEN

[najihaharbainvevo]

Man, If the pillar people were extraordinarily long lived, that old lady could might have been born at the time when dinosaurs were still roaming.

[Nate-ikcf]

Is anyone else weirded out that The Piller Men's Race were literally just metrosexural feminine men and fabulous ladies with the uncanny ability to know just how to pose in the weirdest ways?

[codafett]

It stands to reason that because Kars, Eisidisi and Wammu used the Stone Masks, all three of them would be several times more powerful than your average Pillar Man.

[Excaliburk]

shame we didnt have any pillar woman characters

[olzu]

Wamuu was the favourite kid of Kars and Esidisi. Poor Santana, his dad called him a guard dog

[TovKafur]

I love the irony of whole part 2: Stroheim claims to be the Ubermensch, and his theme has verses of "Thus spake Zarathustra", but in fact it's Kars who is literal, textbook Ubermensch: he has his own ideology and morale, and he kills his whole race because they refused to evolve alongside him.
