Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
It is the sound of a punch barrage written down, and it works because it never stops: the longer the string of 'ora', the more it hurts. Rivals' MUDA MUDA answers it, and the pair have become the most recognisable battle cries in anime. Fans yell it at anything that needs a flurry of repeated blows, from boxing to mashing a keyboard.

“Ora” is Jotaro Kujo’s battle cry, delivered through Star Platinum’s rapid punching rush in Stardust Crusaders and later parts. Star Platinum is his Stand, rather than a separate human speaker. The English card imitates the repeated sound; the number of repetitions varies between performances and fan quotations.
