Kaato at least got to fulfill her purpose in a real cool way.
I really feel like Araki had no idea what to do with her, or just changed the plans for her entirely. She came back and it seemed like a big deal, but outside of flashback exposition, she did literally nothing until the last few chapters.

It feels like that's the case with a lot of the side characters in JJL to be honest.

Another reason why the roadtrip story, simple as it may be, works so great for Jojo. It is episodic by nature and supports random people coming and going much better

Downtown (From Gaki no Tsukai, legendary japanese comedy duo) run a panel show where people come in to test theories or things from manga/tv etc.

They did the Super Fly transmission tower concept. Essentially, they kidnapped a comedian and locked him in a warehouse and he could only leave if someone entered his cage.

It mentions a part 2 at the end of this clip but apparently it got cancelled because the location was even more sketchy and someone called the police after seeing the first comedian get kidnapped :v:

rewatched the Josuke vs Kira fight and man Hayato really doesn’t question the “ghost dad flying around inside a photograph” thing for even a second lol. He’s just like “oh wow when did he get there, I didn’t notice him at all.”

Though I guess if you had the kind of day this kid has had nothing would surprise you anymore.

God, what does all of that whole exchange look like to him, a mundane person who can't see Stands? The inscrutable being that stole his dad's face and trapped him in a time loop is commanding the weird plant-animal thing he found in the attic to levitate in mid-air and fire invisible disintegration-missiles at the nice high-school kid who can heal wounds and reverse causality with a touch

This is poo poo that in olden times would inspire heroic epics and the founding of new religions, and it's the big final battle in a shonen manga that in context is impressive, yeah, but not THAT out of the ordinary. It doesn't even have a vampire in it!

It's gotta be killin him inside that he can't tell anyone. Maybe he could sell the story to Rohan for some quick bux, but he'd be cheated out of it somehow.

I mean, it's fairly well-known that the next part after this is a reboot, right? I don't think it's spoilery to say that Stone Ocean concludes the original JoJo story.

As someone who is currently reading Stone Ocean and knew generally about Steel Ball Run, I didn't really have any sense going in of why this part was followed by a reboot. I thought it might just conclude its own story and then maybe Araki just got bored and decided to shake things up. I don't mind knowing though, and I can see how it helps market it.

What's so complicated about Dragon's Dream? It's just Wonder of U, but an AOE instead of a debuff.

I like Dragon's Dream cuz the stand is generally being kind of a dick to everyone involved, also the way it ends. Also, Pucci wouldn't get to hear his sweet jams without that fight.

The only thing I remember from the Dragon's Dream fight was the pages upon pages of explaining how the gently caress it all worked which cut into the action.

it's so they can still have a technical monopoly on it even once it starts airing on tv. if they release 4 entire episodes at the start of a month then there will be people gravitating towards the netflix releases just so they can see the episodes as soon as possible. not that this changes anything for people who, well, you know, but in any scenario it basically sucks any excitement out of the delayed, weekly releases on tv.
