Got the DiU volume 1 today. It's put together like the jojoniums but doesn't have any original special features. It covers up to Keicho Nijimura's death, so two of the original volumes. DiU still owns

Steel Ball Run so far really does feel like an old western movie but I really don't understand the magic steel balls and their spinny powers
Like I did not understand this fight between a guy with bugs in his eyes that made cactuses explode vs steel balls, it would be so much easier if it was just stand shenanigans in a way.

there are many secrets in the human body

I thought the whole joke was "Jolyne is naive" since we see that the prison also has men in it. The guard just gave some excuse for why they were being searched in the same room.

the men's prison is a separate prison on the same island i thought

the real biggest mystery of part 6 is how emporio is decked out in cubs gear despite living in a prison in florida his entire life. now that i think about it i wonder if it's an allusion to the chicago fire?

poo poo not making sense is more acceptable if it's entertaining or satisfying to the story. i feel like people use "why are you complaining about this but not [wacky thing that happened in an early part]" as a gotcha when people nitpick at part 5, but the obvious answer to that question is that those are better written stories than part 5 is.

I've always felt like I understood this panel but the more I look at it, the less I do. Kira is presupposing that the triangles are similar here but that's not necessarily the case, right? Really he would have to do something like comparing Josuke's known height to the height of his finger from his perspective, instead of just deciding that Josuke's distance from him must be relative to his height

e: Wait, I think it works if Kira happens to be standing where Josuke appears to be the same height as his finger from his perspective and I'm just dumb. Anyway, we sure don't get panels like this anymore huh?

I'm starting to strongly think every part that doesn't have a character called Dio in it directly (flashbacks don't count) is actually bad. Part 4 being the exception that proves the rule of course

If we regard mixed reception and a dislike towards elements of a part as things that make it "bad", then you're more likely to see a Dio-featuring part being bad than a Dio-abstinent part being bad.

part 6 flashbacks don't count and part 3 is good, actually
