This stemmed from the thought of child Kakyoin trying to find the chemical composition of Hierophant Green's emerald splash fluid, nevermind it being a projection of his psyche, and then falling down the chemistry rabbit hole. He also excels at problem-solving and I think working to refine or innovate industrial processes would be a challenge that suits his analytical mind, as well as chemical engineering's interdisciplinary nature.

On the topic of nuclear, if we adhere to the (shakily) established rule of "only a stand can harm another stand", that means Hierophant Green is immune to radiation. Therefore, we can have Kakyoin fixing experimental fuckups with Hierophant Green when no one is looking. Working in the shielded cells with mechanical arms behind three feet of glass and he spills a radioactive waste sample? Mildly inconvenient to clean up with the arms, but Hierophant Green can expedite the process. Everyone thinks he’s a super efficient cell operator, but they don’t realize he ragequits half the time after dropping one too many bottles and sends Hierophant through the glass to pick em up. This applies to running non-radioactive experiments in the lab as well. Hierophant grabbing sodium nitrate with his bare hands.....

Found possible legacy waste onsite? Get Hierophant Green to confirm it without getting blasted by radiation. Curious about what cesium 137 feels like? So is Hierophant, send him in.

Im the number one supporter of Kakyoin in stem as he and Jotaro want to kill themselves over hard as nails subjects

the heart stop mid DIO fight has to be one of my FAV stardust crusaders moments but I’m still devastated about what happened to Kakyoin :(((

They share a braincell when working together. That braincell would have ended the war, had it been canon.
