There's an alternate timeline where the arrow chose Hayato instead of Kira and solved the problem of him being dead by unlocking D4C

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

"I, Yoshikage Kira, am now invincible." - Kira, shortly before

- Spilling his tea onto himself
- Nearly being murdered by Stray Cat again
- Shouting his name at the top of his lungs, only to immediately be punched in the face by Crazy Diamond
- Getting chewed out by his boss for being late for work
- Killing his own father
- Getting his pet cat stolen
- Getting his hand crushed by Koichi AGAIN
- Getting beaten within an inch of his life by Jotaro AGAIN
- Getting run over by an ambulance
- Getting his arm bitten off by a dog he killed once
- Being dragged to the Shadow Realm as part of a 10+ year long revenge scheme by the first girl he ever killed
- Being haunted for the rest of his afterlife by weird dinosaur things

What a morning.

7 AM - Kira wakes up after exactly 8 hours of sleep
8 AM - Kira has breakfast, combs his new hair, and assures Hayato that everything will be alright from now on
9 AM - Kira calls his boss to say he'll be late for work because he has to discipline his son
9:25 AM - Kira tells the EMT lady about his boners
9:30 AM - Kira gets acquainted with ambulance tires

It's amazing. He was 100% convinced of his absolute victory, and then an hour later he's losing a psychic fistfight with a teenager on a stranger's front lawn as the whole block shows up to watch

The only way it could've been more perfect is if Kira was wearing a wifebeater.

Well the EMT lady at least heard him babbling about being a prolific serial killer and Boner haver, so she might have softened the blow for him a bit. With the way his body seemingly lurched under the tires of its own volition, people probably just assumed it was a "you'll never take me alive" style confession/suicide.

"there appears to be a tiny grappling hook attached to my banister"

"well y'know these things happen"

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?

I think, given everything that happened with Koichi (i.e. had to be healed by Josuke to not die and developed an extremely worthless stand) the arrow is explicitly survivable. Dio probably would've been fine.

That doesn't really mean DIO would've been fine, just that Crazy Diamond can fix whatever it is the arrow does to you if you lose the initial coin flip

That's fair, I just figure that the arrow's only certain death if you only have like, normal medical technology available to you and not stand powers or crazy vampire regeneration

I will always appreciate that Dio stabbed himself with a mysterious ancient artifact that kills you and/or gives you awesome superpowers... twice. A century apart, on different continents, with totally unrelated magic artifacts.

Did DIO get out of that dredged up coffin and just start raiding museums and antique shops and stabbing himself with whatever he found on the logic of "Well it worked once, and it's not like it can kill me to keep trying"?

Is that how he found Anubis?

If that's the case there was probably a really funny adventure where anubis posessed Jonathan's body and DIO's head had to find a way to get it out

Enya comes across Dio sitting amongst a pile of various ancient weapons covered in his blood, tells him he's doing it wrong and throws an arrowhead at him.

The arrow stabbing you once: fool. arrogant wretch. Will you awaken to new heights or will you die like a dog?

The arrow falling over itself to stab you again of seemingly its own will: Hmm? Oh sweetie, what is it, what do you need my prceious sweet lil baby? wait, no. shhh. Your soul will tell me

I don’t think he admitted to being a murderer, and no one knew about Yoshikage Kira being a murderer.

also he has to tell her to activate BTD in the first place

e: he doesn't have to tell her about his giant boner for hands but he also just got punched so hard by Josuke that his stand nearly shattered so he's maybe not on the ball

How many fights in the series were inspired by Araki having just watched The Thing? Yellow Temperance is the only one I'm 100% sure of, but a bunch of others have that kind of vibe. Most of part 2, Notorious BIG, some of the stuff that happens with Hot Pants... any others I'm missing?

Ratt kinda has that vibe a bit, and so does Chariot Requiem in a way.

Yellow Temperance is more The Blob imo tho it has a few elements of The Thing. I think High Priestess and Judgement from the same part fit The Thing a bit better, possibly Empress as well.

The most explicit "ok this is just The Thing" fight is definitely Foo Fighters though.
