He was basically a stage magician. All of his real power came from wordplay, sleight of hand, and trickery. And he used it to literally kill an immortal being.

I wanted you to chop off my arm because I planned to have you explode the volcano we were fighting on with your Hamon powers in order to launch my arm at you and paralyze you so that you'd be launched into space." And Kars believed him.

Done with Part 3: Stardust Crusaders! After a rough start it was just wonderful all the way. I usually get bored of MOTW formats because I just want the story to progress, but watching these silly beefmen claiming to be in highschool outsmart everything in their way was just cozy and fun. Too many unforgettable moments to remember all of them, and I could watch several seasons of a comedy series thats just Joseph saying OH NO OH poo poo OH MY GOD at things. Favourite battles: - Dio’s world was easily the best, laughed so hard at Sewer Jojo i almost woke up the family. I wish they found another way to deal with The World than JoJo having it, although I like the implication that The World was actually Jonathans stand and it’s a lineage power, but it was still a mindblowing fight in so many ways. - Hol Horse and Hanged Man in india - Oingo Boingo just because of how gross and gnarly that comic book is. Also it seems like the most terrifying power for the user - even the slightest mistake and you’re dead. - Poker showdown had me in shivers - Pet Shop fight was the closest this series has had to a classic action battle and it was really cool, loved it - The Void Vampire before Dio, just for how terrifying he was, but also for showing how scary Polnareff can be when he’s actually giving it his all and fighting for something other than himself. - Death 13, lali-ho - Avdol dying twice, lol, lol, roflmao EDIT: oh and to save Polnareffs dumb rear end both times, lol, omg, mvp - Polnareff, what a man poo poo pile: - Early pokemon battles and the nude 10yo - The videogame battle had a cool ending but was dull and dumb until then - Netflix censoring, black airbrush over gore but also over JoJo smoking a cigarette??? What is this, China? - That’s it actually??? Bisse fucked around with this message at 15:16 on Sep 10, 2022 |

That's not Netflix doing that, that's how it was censored when it aired on Japanese TV, they have rather strict rules about portraying underage smoking over there. It IS Netflix's fault for not using the blu-ray release that isn't as goofily censored

Jotaro having The World makes sense imo. Dio keeps going on about how they have 'the same type of stand' and there's a couple times in the series where Star Platinum does something so incredibly fast off-screen it's as if it stopped time subconsciously (introductory chapter, D'Arcy fight when he's bluffing). Doubt that was intentional foreshadowing but it sort of works.

Yeah I read it the same way, that they have literally the exact same stand, other than looks. Which must mean they are connected somehow, and the obvious link is Jonathan’s body.

Bisse posted:Just saw this bit and TBH I didn't mind it at all, it felt more like a natural family situation that makes sense in that context, with the twist that Polnareff is actually an adult ofc but I didn't find it worse than say Momo jumping into Nami's chest in OP which happens like 8 times. In the end with the way they say farewell after the fight it was kind of a sweet scene. The ship shower scene is a hell of a lot worse in my eyes because it is completely illogical and out of context (just arrived on a weird abandoned ghost ship and saw two men get decapitated? mmm it would be nice to shower off all that salt water) and sexily zooming in on a 10-ish-year old girl's steaming hot and wet legs and butt. i personally hate th seth fight because alessi is 100% a huge pervert and honestly like the polnareff/egyptian lady scenes. until she gets turned into a loving zygote at least

good.parts of the seth fight: 1. the end of polnareff's bathroom quest, he finally finds a safe place to take a poo poo. 2. polnareff nd the egyptian lady 3. the resolution being tht 10 year old jotaro is still a way bigger badass than grown pervert alessi

Bisse posted:I like the implication that The World was actually Jonathans stand and it’s a lineage power That is technically correct. The best kind of correct. The World is DIO's Stand and the Hermit Purple he used earlier in the part (Episode 3) is Jonathan's ability. That said, because he's using The World in Jonathan's body, it is implied that his psychic connection to Jotaro awoke that same ability within him purely to create a counter to DIO.

Speaking of the video game, it's hilarious that the guy who's such a great gamer is so unconfident in his ability to win against someone who literally just learned the controls of the game that he gives up before the game is even halfway over.

You also had more Joseph bullshit going on simultaneously as it was the perfect combo of Jotaro just acting like he's the poo poo and Joseph pulling off B.S. in the background. He wasn't really good at games, though - he was just playing games where he could read minds and win based on it. THATS A BASEBALL is perfect because you can read every pitch ahead of time. If it was something that was based on pure reflex and input, Jotaro would probably win due to Star Platinum. Both Darbys are just giant cheaters. The equivalent YuYu Hakusho video game soul stealing fight at least had the guy remember every answer which isn't technically cheating, hqhq.

Joseph getting to do more in Egypt was definitely great. Also, yeah, I remember Gamemaster. That was great. The heroes have a guy who has memorized the answer to every question in the game and can answer a few words in, but Gamemaster has memorized all of the RNG seeds and can answer all of the questions before they appear onscreen.

IMO, there's a pretty clear line in Stardust Crusaders where Araki decided that DIO's power is to stop time and that Jotaro will beat DIO by using the same power. The bit where Hol Horse tries to shoot DIO in the head and D'arby the Gambler are back to back and I think it's kinda obvious that D'arby ends up folding because he thinks Jotaro is using the same power, which he probably is, unintentionally.

In one of the JoJonium's Araki said that The World was the first Stand he designed, so unless time stop was a late idea he had a few years to come up with a way for Jotaro to beat Dio without giving him the same power That he didn't makes me think he realized that time stop is really cool and needed to be in the story after Dio

Speaking of fandom things, I'm surprised that Giorno's backstory of being inspired by a random guy is seen as perfectly fine, but Josuke's is seen as a product of Araki's explosive dementia.

What’s interesting about Gamemaster is that no one is actually good enough to beat him in his games, but when Gamemaster explains how his power actually works, the cast realizes that Gamemaster has unintentionally killed himself and has no way of surviving the situation. When this is pointed out to him, he rightfully freaks out a bit and his skill at the next game nosedives.

Jotaro even points out that the other D'arby was a better fight. Granted, I do appreciate the fact that it was an encounter that let Joseph do things after he spent all of the first half of Part 3 just being along for the ride.
