Tooru is going to open the front door and will be run over by a ghost motorcycle and Kyo will make her grand return having previously removed herself from reality in order to pursue the head doctor without consequences .

Wouldn’t Born This Way be a hard counter to Tooru’s stand? It’s a pursuit-type stand, but it doesn’t actually pursue, it just teleports to wherever you are.

I still hold out hope that there's something going on with Kyo Nijimura. That removal from the family picture seems way too on the nose for a character that was still around in the background. Since we know that the Higashikatas are awfully calm at the end of the 7 days, even though Norisuke's dead, I'm assuming there's some major memory fuckery going on. And if we continue with the trend of time-related final boss stands (debatable if D4C counts), there may be a stand that can literally erase someone from the past. Maybe that's just me hoping she'll turn up again, but this could be Caato's doing. She can put things in her card deck, evidently - one possible consequence could be that whatever's removed is removed from the world COMPLETELY, including all traces from the past. That would be kind of in line with Killer Queen, which could also kill without trace. If that's where this is going, I wouldn't be surprised if none of the characters can even remember Kyo. Literal revisionist stand active at the same time as hella convoluted intention-reading stalker stand. DO IT ARAKI. edit: As fun as Tooru is, and as great as Caato was in her short appearances so far, I think it's becoming more and more obvious that Jobin can be the only "final boss" by now... He's absolutely driving the plot, he's got a ton of runtime for the role, he's got motivation, he's an absolute fucker who deserves to get owned. I can see Caato saving him from Tooru, Tooru getting defeated, and then Caato supporting Jobin once again. Torquemadras fucked around with this message at 21:05 on Jun 21, 2020 |

Relin posted:he forgot the rules of one stand mid arc. i think he's losing it. if he doesn't address some of the important mysteries in part 8 i'm gonna be pissed! I frankly kind of hate the "araki forgot" meme. It really comes off as disrespectful go him, like he doesn't care about his work - which he obviously does. Yes he's gone on record saying he's forgotten stuff in the past, but I think that's fairly normal. He's also gone on record saying that he's fully willing to cut plot concepts that aren't working for the sake of making an entertaining story - that seems far more likely to be the case most of the time something changes. I'm kind of suspecting we won't really find out what happened to Kyo, since we haven't really seen her do anything since her fight, but maybe that's just cus araki knew he couldn't work her or her stand into the story and so he just cut her out, possibly literally.

Yo, just curious: has anyone heard any word about what’s going on with the English dub for Golden Wind? It hasn’t appeared on AS’s schedule for a few weeks now. My first guess was that they were forced to suddenly cut production short because of the coronavirus outbreak and finally ran out of completed material, but I was wondering if there’s been any official word on it.

Argue with him about semantics until he unknowingly triggers your weird-rear end stand, so that an incredibly unlikely event suddenly kills him Josuke sending blackmail?
