unironically excited for more stupid bold words to explain abilities

RatHat posted:

I interpreted it as gravity control underneath it, hence the heavy rain and Jodio going for a stomp

I’m sure it’ll be explained within a few chapters

this is my working theory too, the water drops felt more like "impact" than "melt"

"Is that your final dandy?"
November Rain will purely be a debuff stand with no combat abilities and all the Oras will come from Jodio shitstomping on dudes himself.

If that's the case then that makes November Rain the shortest-range Joestar Stand... kind of like Gold Experience, really.

Just wait until November Finger happens.

That was absolutely hysterical, I really hope they find some way to preserve that effect in the anime adaptation.

I'm guessing they'll probably do something special with his lighting and background, probably make him look extra shiny and clean and appealing or something. Like "look how shiny and cool he is, he must be telling the truth"

Despite emojis being more memorable, I think my favorite gag from Part 7 comes shortly after that.
As DIO and Johnny race forward, there's an arrow indicating where Johnny is. Makes sense, the shots are fairly far away. However, the arrow persists for 5-6 panels including those where you can CLEARLY see where Johnny actually is and that it's him. It's the end of the manga, we KNOW what he looks like, and yet he has an arrow that says "Johnny" following him like it's an MMO.

Araki's sense of humor is loving great.

Yep, the Japanese name of Paul was 宇宙人ポール(Alien Paul), which is only one character away from 宇宙人ボール(Alien Ball).
