By alternatingly crying and telling the evil nazi how utterly hosed we are because of those genius stripper vampires, I somehow turn the nazi into an ally, forcing the DM to come up with an NPC on the spot. The DM hates it. He kills him off, but I STILL somehow hype him back into relevance, and my sheer hype keeps the NPC awkwardly around until the DM can finally kill him off-screen I then make my first and only oildrilling check, and die a virgin I never realize where Straizo went

Josuke nearly gets murdered by DIO in a flashback, but then has zero reaction to Angelo saying that name.

Is Demonic Heartbreak essentially a side adventure by a different artist to deliver some JoJos during the gap inbetween part 8 and the next part? I really like Hol Horse in this manga, he's a very interesting villain/character as his motivation is not evil, but just pure survival and struggling against his own fears. He seems like at heart a decent person, who was in a lovely situation in Part 3.

Hol Horse almost certainly has a higher body-count than Kira, dude's still bad. He just does it for money and the Assassin Lifestyle rather than sexual gratification, which is... better?

We don't necessarily know that. Kira has been killing women since high school and seemingly replaces the hands when they start to stink, which would presumably be at least two or three a month up to the point where he's 33. In comparison, Hol Horse has only ever tried to kill five people on-screen (plus Enya in self-defense). True, he's a hired assassin, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry to partner up with any of the powerful Stand Users in Egypt before DIO put pressure on him.

Just had a random thought, do we ever definitively learn how kira gets his stand? If not, then i think he probably developed it himself naturally, then keicho shot him with an arrow which gave him sheer heart attack. Then getting stabbed with the arrow a second time gave him bites the dust. Bing bong If I was a stand user i would simply sit around stabbing myself with the arrow for a week or so

His dad had an arrow, I don't think its too much of a stretch to imagine the arrow was drawn to Yoshikage, prompting Kira Sr. to use it on his son. Bites the Dust was explicitly the first time Kira was re-pierced by the arrow, so I imagine Sheer Heart Attack was something Kira figured out he could do on his own.

I thought his dad got the arrow from Keicho somehow? I might be misremembering. If he had another arrow from the start then yeah that seems plausible. It's possible Kira got shot and just didn't remember, it seems like a lot of the people who get arrow stands don't remember getting shot

If I recall, Kira Sr somehow acquired an Arrow independently of Keicho directly from Enya. I guess they met at some point and bonded over being the late-in-life doting parents of troubled children?  But yeah, Kira committed his first teenage murder of Reimi et al, his dad found out, and used the Arrow to give him some power to hopefully protect him from the consequences of his own horrible actions. e: Son of Thunderbeast posted:If I was a stand user i would simply sit around stabbing myself with the arrow for a week or so The danger with this, I think, is that every stab of the Arrow rolls the dice on "you get a Stand OR you die." You might have been worthy once, but can you be sure you'll be worthy again? Asterite34 fucked around with this message at 18:22 on Oct 27, 2022 |

Yeah, there's never a definitive statement on whether you can just exploit the arrow for effects as much as you want, but chances are good you can't. Granted, the only case where that's a concern is the Black Sabbath fight, where the two people at risk either have no idea what the arrow does or got nearly killed by it once before and probably wouldn't want to risk it again.

Plus as shown getting hit by the arrow more than once doesn't necessarily produce an effect you want. Or can even control. If anything Kira got lucky that his desire to not be found out only manifested as the ability to make a time loop.

I wonder if the Arrow kills people in a way that DIO would be able to survive with Vampire Bullshit, and thus could have just kept jabbing himself with it over and over until he had all the powers, and he just never thought to try that. Or does it kill you via unblockable magic death curse or whatever? How do Meteorite Bacteria work here?

the arrow is shown to be able to seek out people who have the potential for a stand, which is how kira's dad is able to sense those who would live when hit with it. it brings out someone's inner potential and reflects their capacity to grow and it kind of makes sense to me that kira was in such massive despair at that moment that the arrow picked up on that and sort of just shifted enough to puncture into him and unlock that new bit of 'growth' inside of him due to his emotions. someone can call it nonsensical if they want, but it absolutely makes way more sense than anything to do with requiems ever did. a weird thing that jumpstarts someone's development in terms of their innate abilities is enough for me to suspend my disbelief in terms of it expanding someone's power just enough to still fit in with what it already does. also araki probably thought it sounded cool and he was right, so, yeah.

yeah i think that was overall a fairly traumatic moment for kira, so i feel it's not exactly something that can just be arbitrarily done keep in mind that the arrow literally pushes into him of it's own accord, he didn't just magically slip and fall onto it. that thing slid right up on in there and impaled him. i doubt someone could just arbitrarily stab themselves on a whim to accomplish something similar, especially since it's by the arrow's own agency that it happened.

So what I'm hearing is that I'm free and clear to stab myself with the arrow without fear of dying if I'm not being actively traumatized? Hmmmm I'll need to consider my options e: oh also I looked it up and you're right, Yoshihiro got his arrow from Enyaba herself

But now that he feels indestructible he couldn’t care less about that.

my take is that the arrow is like [fate] in that it's extremely arbitrary but if you try to force it it will gently caress you overAugus posted:i forgot if it was this way in the manga but in the anime his hair didn’t change immediately after he got bites the dust, he combed it that way. manga it's just the next day he has zebra hair, though i agree that the meaning is that he's not really bothering to hide anymore because he feels untouchable It's not like his sworn enemy will be standing right behind him the first time he says his name out loud that day or anything e: wait i never thought about that, since kira is ignorant of the time loops' contents from his perspective his triumphant unstoppable run lasted like an hour or two before he immediately ate poo poo Yinlock fucked around with this message at 01:40 on Oct 28, 2022 |

I love how every time Kira is foiled it's always by some little kid. Young Rohan survived to eventually uncover the connection between Hayato and Kira, Fatty put Kira on the run by nabbing a button, Koichi got Kira's wallet and won the psychological victory by showing Kira just how careless he is, and Hayato figured Kira out, got evidence of his crimes, and forced Kira to undo the Bites the Dust loop. Every time it was just a kid.

Given that it's already established that the arrow will Just Kill You if you aren't worthy I can't imagine that deliberately trying to exploit it multiple times would turn out well.
