Augus posted:rewatched the Josuke vs Kira fight and man Hayato really doesn’t question the “ghost dad flying around inside a photograph” thing for even a second lol. He’s just like “oh wow when did he get there, I didn’t notice him at all.” God, what does all of that whole exchange look like to him, a mundane person who can't see Stands? The inscrutable being that stole his dad's face and trapped him in a time loop is commanding the weird plant-animal thing he found in the attic to levitate in mid-air and fire invisible disintegration-missiles at the nice high-school kid who can heal wounds and reverse causality with a touch This is poo poo that in olden times would inspire heroic epics and the founding of new religions, and it's the big final battle in a shonen manga that in context is impressive, yeah, but not THAT out of the ordinary. It doesn't even have a vampire in it!

I'm not sure Araki has every really given a poo poo what other people think about his creative choices, outside of a "what I find boring to write/draw will be boring for someone else to read" kind of way. It made thematic sense to him, take it or leave it. It's not like it's the first or last time that's happened.

Blueberry Pancakes posted:Pucci's backstory makes me feel bad for him. It doesn't absolve him for all of the bullshit that he does afterwards, but still. It never specifies how much later, maybe he died in his 90s. The point being, yeah of course he'll eventually die, everyone does, but it's still nice he got free and given a little bit longer to enjoy life.

I figured it was that when Emporio killed Pucci mid-loop and he got erased from the timeline, the thing causing the timeline reset was itself reset, causing a weird retcon-of-a-retcon creating some hosed up bizarro universe that didn't quite make ANY sense

Darko posted:Part 3 DIO gets his head smashed and can have limbs chopped off and put them back on. Part 1 DIO is cut in half and puts himself back together. I'm still not quite sure how getting punched on his Stands left leg makes him explode at the end, even with his left side weakness, but whatever - that's yet another weird Araki ending (I think he was saying DIO's spirit got weakened too, but who knows). "Stand takes damage = User takes damage" trumps Vampire Immortality I guess. Dude got punched in the soul so hard it shattered, regeneration ain't gonna fix that. It does make me wonder how the Stand Arrow's "either it kills you or it gives you a Stand" deal interacts with vampirism. Like is whatever magic mojo it uses to kill people something Dio would always survive and thus it's forced to give him a Stand by default, or was there a legit risk when he used it that it would just insta-kill him regardless? We know that Crazy Diamond can heal a lethal Arrow shot and it then just gives you a crap Stand because it has no choice, but Crazy Diamond bullshit is a league beyond Stone Mask bullshit.

Sweet, a battle between the two Stardust Crusaders that barely got any fights because they're both too broken for Araki to find ways to use them that aren't hilariously instantly lethal. Maybe it'll turn into a three-way battle with Fugo  (that would own actually)

So doing a watchalong with my sister who's new to the franchise and we just got to Tower of Grey, and I told her that going forward a lot of stands would be references to horror movies and she made an observation that shook me to my core; Is the term "stand" itself a reference to Stephen King's The Stand?

somepartsareme posted:I want to say that Carne wouldn't have risen so high in the organization with a stand that does nothing, but keeping someone around just for the threat of sending them to kill themselves at someone sounds like something that would happen in Jojo The Boss respects suicidal loyalty, what can I say. A hitman who is basically 100% guaranteed to take out any conceivable target even if they die in the process is also nice to keep in your back pocket, even if it's only a one-time thing.

You know I just thought of something. Didn't Araki say once that originally Fugo was planned to be a secret traitor and was gonna turn on the heroes, but he decided that was too depressing and just wrote him out of the story instead? And Green Day is ALSO a hosed up bioweapon stand that melts people, sorta vaguely like Purple Haze? ...was the Green Day fight recycling ideas from a planned-but-scrapped Fugo vs the Gang fight? It would explain why this dickhead villain of the week earned himself a solid seven pages of punch rush. Like yeah guy was evil af, but Giorno muda-mudaing a former comrade who betrayed them all feels like it would really earn that sort of cathartic beat down.

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 |

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?

bobjr posted:I wonder if they tried to explain anything to the ambulance driver to make him feel better 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.

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?

I could sort of understand if it was a bunch of Stands, those can look sorta vaguely Pagan and supernatural and could be generously interpreted as "demonic" if you're especially conservative in a Satanic Panic sort of way. This is just finding anime androgyny to be the work of the Devil

The painting thing wasn't some esoteric requirement for the use of his powers that Araki forgot later, Kakyoin is just kind of a dramatic highschool edge lord. He's just a touch more restrained about it after the flesh bud removal.
