So, in part 3, we see that Old Joseph tells his grandson, Jotaro Kujo (our
protagonist), that

> stands were created by DIO's reawakening.

But in part 4, we see that

> Koichi gets struck by a stand arrow, giving him the stand called Echoes.

These objects were created by

> a meteorite that struck earth <https://jojo.fandom.com/wiki/Bow_and_Arrow>

This caused

> stand arrows to appear, that were given to a young Diavolo

So did they both influence stands, or was it just one of them?

question

What happened to this character creating this phenomenom?


It was primarily the arrow actually. Some years after possessing Jonathans
body, Dio met an old witch called Enyaba who was in possession of 5 of the
stand arrows and using a Stand arrow she helped him awaken his Stand and
taught him how to use it [StarDust Crusaders, Jojo part 3]. Consequently this
has a large ripple effect on the entire Joestar bloodline and hence most of
the Joestars awakened their Stand but that was as a result of Dio's connection
through Jonathan's body to his descendants.

(spoilers for DIO's Diary, Vento Aureo, Phantom Blood, and StarDust Crusaders)

Joseph never said that the stands were created or summoned directly through
DIO's awakening, however he did say that ONLY the Joestar bloodline's stands
stemmed from him, as he is indirectly a part of it by stealing Jonathan's
body, in DIO's Diary: OverHeaven, he explains that when he awakened from his
100 year sleep, he met Enya, who shot him with the arrow, thus giving him,
Joseph, Jotaro, and Holly stands. Everything that was said in Vento Aureo and
Diamond is Unbreakable, is true, and stands never stemmed directly from DIO or
Jonathan.
