The Pillar Men were frozen for hundreds of years and were released only a month prior to this panel. How does Kars know enough to make a Tarzan reference, did he catch a movie or something during that time

Wasn't there some thing where Pillar Men also assimilate the knowledge of the people they absorb? Like that was how Santana learned English/German instantaneously?

Maybe one of the Nazis they ate in Rome was a big Burroughs fan :shrug:

IIRC they were able to learn languages and e.g. how to disassemble a machine gun because of their supremely advanced intellect. I don't remember anything about absorbing memories

Tarzan was Santana's true name, Stroheim just got it wrong and that stuck.

yeah i think it's just chalked up to them being just The Best at absolutely everything

i assume they used their giant pillar brains to fill in the exact course of all world events from their hibernation to their awakening

Was Weather Report the first time Araki did the "introduce a character by making a list of weird-rear end facts about them" thing? I kind of love it whenever it happens even if they get forgotten entirely. Part 8 Josuke was the first main-character one I think.

was that the guy who just said "yeah he's just a normal dude" or whatever? I meant stuff like Emporio immediately listing off insane poo poo like "yeah this guy sleeps in a piano, has no concept of personal space, speaks in whispers and is overall just a huge fuckin weirdo. anyway take him with you he'll help probably"

Speedwagon's life in Part 2:

- Freaking out because his plane is being hijacked.
- Freaking out because Lisa Lisa killed a government official.
- Freaking out because of a bunch of Stone Masks being discovered.
- Freaking out because Straizo turned evil.
- Freaking out because Nazis.
- Freaking out because Santana.
- Mostly normal trip to Italy.
- Freaking out because Lisa Lisa's about to die.
- Freaking out because Ultimate Kars.
- Freaking out because Joseph is seemingly about to die.
- Freaking out because Joseph is actually alive.
- Freaking out because he's dying.

At least in part 1 he gets to spend half the time talking about how much Jonathan rules. He found his life's calling as an Astonished Narrator early in life and fully embraced it.

e: I love when he shows up at the end of part 2 and immediately starts completely flipping his poo poo over Ultimate Kars without missing a beat. move over amateurs this is how you lose your mind over something

Bards can cast spells, all Speedwagon really has is a hammer and the incredible ability to constantly shout about everything he ever sees without getting annoying

e: Also innate Detect Evil? But nothing he's ever up against really tries to hide how evil they are so it's usefulness is debatable

e2: wait Straizo did, so I guess it's Detect Evil that only works on Dio specifically.

I will also have an exotic bladed throwing hat. I will use it once and then forget about it, promptly switching it with another hat that the DM has randomly mentioned as being slightly fancier (plus Italian)

I literally have no other skills besides Perform(Crying) and Profession(Oildrilling)

The DM hates me, but I have become invulnerable. I love all my friends
