I watched the OVA of Baoh, Araki's most notable pre-JJBA work, the other day and within two minutes a dog was shot. 12 minutes after that a dog was slaughtered by a tiger only to come back to life and then get shot, decapitated, and set aflame.

Is it hatred, or does he love dogs SO MUCH that showing someone murder them is the best way he knows to say "this dude is an rear end in a top hat"?

Yeah, with one exception, Araki seems to not really like dogs at all. The first season had Danny being hit in the face and burned and a cat eating a puppy in the first two episodes.

Because Jotaro would drown him.

Yellow Temperance seems to digest slowly and can't stretch out too much without exposing Rubber Soul to the water.

Rubber Soul would drown underwater pretty much. There was nothing stopping Jotaro from choking him out underwater as Yellow a Temperance can stop all of your punches, but it can't you from being unable to breathe. The second Jotaro got him into the water he was dead to rights.

The difference between confinement and rest is a shift in perspective

Yeah and it's fights like these early on that really sort of demonstrate how Jotaro maintains that similar quick-thinking Joestar family style of fighting but he's a hell of a lot more ruthless and tends not to waste time loving around.

Jotaro had a hard time dealing with almost-drowning and needed to pull a power out of his rear end to get out of it.

He probably figured there was no such thing as a Yellow Finger, at least not in this context, so might as well pay the drownings forward.


RERORERO was pretty great, too.

So the Runaway Girl actually has a name now. Given how many chapters she appeared in, the fact that she was never named in the original manga was somewhat astonishing.

I always figured he thought it was safer to let Jotaro punch "Kakyoin" and get Temperance on him that way rather than trying to attack directly.

Would you guys please cut this out? It's really irritating trying to guess which character you're talking about and I'd rather the episode introduce them proper. This has happened a couple times now.

Yeah but that needs more crew members and there's more time in transit for things to go wrong. A train to India: now you're not even trying.

Then again, getting on a plane is probably asking to get USS Vincenne'd.

I think the problem is that surviving a plane crash is pretty dang hard, and they were extremely lucky to survive the last one. Yellow Temperance disguised as the pilot cold easily just fly the plane full-speed into a mountain and instantly kill them all, using his stand to protect himself from (most of) the damage and the gang wouldn't really be able to see it coming if they weren't in the cockpit.

I Don't Get It,

Pretty much their only choice is risk civilians getting caught in the crossfire or risk themselves being stranded and die from just being stranded in the environment (middle of the ocean, 30k feet in the air).

It's a tough decision, and any other show would have emphasised Joseph's decision, but that's not what Jojos is about. Dio Must Die.

Even if they had a small plane with Joseph piloting it and nobody else on board, they would still run the risk of encountering somebody with a stand capable of flight. None of them are capable to doing anything from within a plane except possibly Kakyoin.
