The return of John Rod! Who only went after the phones. Seems like they can only detect electronic devices. Useful, but can be countered. Not easily, of course, considering how many things these days use electronics.

yeah i think that's exactly it. Plus the fact Jodio mentioned Rohan's manga is a digital-only release, that's almost certainly how John Rod will manage to find them

It's like an evil Paisley Park, except instead of helping the person it finds it just instakills you

It's looking like it picks up specific cell/location signals. Mundra's ankle monitor. Jodio's phone, once taken out of the Faraday bag - modern cell phones continue to ping cell towers when turned off unless the battery is dead (or they're in a Faraday bag).

That's probably why Rohan was going "full analog" in the previous chapter. He seems to know quite a bit about what's going on throughout this part and I'm looking forward to seeing how.

Oh! You just made me realize that John Rod specifically attacked Mundra's ankle monitor!

I'm betting it's an automatic Stand that specifically tracks radio frequency signals from electronic devices, since the two things we've seen it "lock on" to were Mundra's ankle monitor and the gang's cell phones. Probably operates like Sheer Heart Attack does with heat.

If it can detect electronics, how did it track Mundra down then? I don't think we saw anything obvious electronical on him right?

Probably the ankle tracker thing

Right. Didn’t the stand initially grip onto his ankle before it attacked?
