since the idea of stan's was conceived by mangaka hirohiko Araki for part three
of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga the series has since been dominated by
these entities stanza psychically generated manifestations of a person's
own life energy and each user's stand is different depending on the strength or
weakness of the users fighting spirit some stands manifest in the form of non
humanoid life-forms or objects some natural such as fog or animals and some
art officials such as vehicles or weapons many stands however manifest as
a humanoid with physical characteristics similar to live a human usually having
arms legs and having eyes and a mouth one of these being Mohammed Avdol's
magicians red
named after the first major arcana tarot card the magician which represents
beginnings after all magicians red is the first stand to appear in the JoJo's
Bizarre Adventure manga back in 1989 during chapter 115 and during the first
episode of the status Crusaders anime in 2014 it's also the first stun that
protagonist Jotaro Kujo comes up against this is why I decided to make
magicians red the first stand I cover in this newsstand analysis video series
magicians read is an extremely powerful read muscular humanoid stand with an
accompanying bird-like head and beak when his lower half isn't riddled in
flames it's shown to half a fully feathered lower body and it also wears
red boots the appearance of magicians red was inspired by the Egyptian god
Horus from nick appall trilogy a series of three graphic novels written by Anki
Bulow after all states - his stance has been with him since birth therefore is a
hundred percent loyal to him like I've doll himself the stand is incredibly
loyal to those it trusts and to its user magicians red showcases no obvious
personality traits whatsoever and as a constant aggressive demeanor although
after all claims that his stand forgives no one including enemy stand users now
let's talk about Abdul Stan's actual abilities and techniques after all
commands one of the most powerful stands that exists within part 3 he can use his
stand to freely create and manipulate fire which allows him to direct the
flames in any direction as well as giving it any shape he wants the flames
that I created hold the same properties as normal flames they're hot and they
burn however like most stands themselves the flames created by magicians red are
invisible to non stand users although they are invisible the heat of the
flames can still be felt by non Stan users like regular fire which affects
the temperature in the surrounding area astronomically heat waves generated by
after all stand can also be seen by non stand users usually creating a situation
of confusion magicians Reds flames are hot enough to melt metal and sliced
through railway tracks as shown in his fight with Mariah
it usually specializes in ranged flame attacks rather than close-range punches
or kicks although this is the case it was shown in this fight with cameo and
his attack on endles stand Gabe that he can wrap fire around his limbs to give
his punches and kicks more power and some elemental damage on top of that
using this ability he managed to some of judgments Armour however I never
really understood why he attempted to use a fire punch on endles stand as gabe
is a water stand which would be after all's natural weakness in terms of stand
battles most of the stands techniques a long range flame attacks which have the
same properties as real fire as I said before this means that Abdul can spread
his flames out in a wide area and with fire being one of Earth's most
destructive elements doesn't leave magicians red with many weaknesses
keeping that fact in mind this does mean that regular water can extinguish
outdoors flames as shown in this fight with Jojo in the jail cell whilst using
widespread fire does sound like a great ability to have magicians red will not
be able to use its full power in tighter areas after all threatened to put Jojo
in the hospital when attempting to forcefully remove him from his jail cell
however he could not use his most destructive fire attacks due to
civilians being nearby and the cell being a small enclosed space given the
fact he turned his back on Jojo ro once he had stepped out of the cell if given
the time and the space to unleash his full power I have no doubts he would
have succeeded in putting Joe Tyrone Hospital on top of pure power and some
of the strongest fire capabilities in the Jojo universe so far it also has a
decent handle on speed when he was fighting polnareff silver chariot for
example magicians red was able to dodge some of chariots quick sword thrusts
though it's not the fastest stand and it focuses more on ranged elemental attacks
this is still quite impressive so we have now established just how powerful
after dolls magicians red is in terms of bow abilities and discussed its
strengths and weaknesses but this stand also has an interesting set of special
techniques which we have yet to discuss the first one shown being his red bind
technique after dolls complete control over fire allows him to shape with the
flames into any form he wants one of these forms being a rope he creates a
rope made of flame and wraps it around the limbs of his opponent which
debilitates and stops them from moving freely or even attacking altogether red
bind can be shot from a distance or used at close range to choke out an opponent
if the flames are wrapped around the face this can cause suffocation due to
the fire burning the oxygen in the air in the proximity of the enemies mouth as
shown in his battle against Joe taro in the jail cell
the next ability was used in his battle with jean-pierre polnareff titled
crossfire hurricane which is a long ranged unshaped flames shot out from the
mouths of magicians red this Ark explodes
in a flurry of flames on impacts with the enemy and has great destructive
power crossfire hurricane also has a few variations where after all can direct
the trajectory of the arc including sending it through a hole underground to
surprise the enemy and also by splitting it into multiple Ang's to cover a wider
area which has named the crossfire hurricane special the name crossfire
hurricane is a direct reference that the opening line of jumping jack flash by
the Rolling Stones with a line I was born in the crossfire hurricane was song
the final technique we're talking about is actually the final technique that
I've girl showed before he met his fate near the end of Stardust Crusaders in
Chapter 239 of the manga upon entering Dios mansion in Egypt after all creates
a massive psychic flames that works similar to a compass except instead of
detecting Earth's natural magnetic fields the life detector ability detects
an enemy's presence by sensing their heat source you could call this ability
a sort of heat radar as it flickers whenever a heat source is nearby my
final thoughts on after dolls magicians red is that it is definitely one of the
strongest stands in part 3 and in my opinion it is the second strongest stand
within the Stardust Crusaders team themselves with only joe joestar
Platinum beating it I feel like only a few stands from part 3 would be able to
beat magicians red in a fair one-on-one fight such as the world gab or yellow
temperance just to name a few in my opinion Abdul was dealt a poor
hand as originally Iraqi had killed him in the Emperor and hangman fight to add
some reality to the story by making Abdullah sacrifice but even when after
all was written back into the story just before the Crusaders got to Egypt he was
still not given a huge role in the story before his second and proper death some
might argue that this might mean Abdullah and his magicians red were in
fact not all that strong at all but both deaths occurred when Abdul was being
blindsided the first time he was stabbed in the back by the hanged man allowing
whole horse to put a bullet in his head which after all would have normally
either evaded or incinerated the second time he was saving polnareff and got
suddenly wiped out from out of nowhere by vanilla ice after all was a great
character with a very powerful stance however I do not believe he used his
powers to their full potential before being killed being able to create and
control fire at will is an insanely powerful ability and he
not make the most of this though it would probably have made him a bit too
overpowered if he was to be able to create say a giant walking monster made
a fire or create a giant dome of flames defending him from any and all attacks
thrown at him magicians red was very good in a fight but did not really apply
itself much outside of battle other than its ability to detect heat sources of
enemies so that's about it for this first standard analysis video did you
agree with any of my final thoughts on after all on his stand write a comment
