There's also Jolyne setting herself on fire. Jolyne is the best Jojo.

Got to agree, I finally got around to finishing SBR and it is excellent. The only real problem I had with it was almost everything after the introduction of Love Train. The first half of the fight was so good too. So many great stands but I really think my favourite has to be Tatoo You! Such a cool little stand, can't wait to see animated.

I honestly can't decide if I like Pucci or Valentine more as main villains, and I can't decide which fights and stands were the best in parts 6 and 7, but I really liked Civil War as a concept for a battle and I love how part 7 contrasts and compares with the very beginning of Jojo. Parts 6 and 7 had some great melodramatic backstories and it seems like part 8 is shaping up to have them too. A big reason why I liked part 7 is the totally insane progression it has (huge spoilers for part 7): from just a paralyzed former horse jockey trying to compete in a horse race trying to find out the secret technique behind spinning steel balls, to having the president of the united states use the power of a girl impregnated with the corpse of Jesus Christ to deflect a fingernail shot like a bullet to the other side of the world . I can't think of anything else that has the incredible progression part 7 has, pretty much in anything. I really hope Jojolion is going to continue being part 4 only where all the characters are taken from David Lynch scripts and given stands. Like half the people in part 8 so far are huge creeps and I'm expecting it to only get weirder from now on out.

Part's over dude its time to go hom- OH poo poo The World." The fight itself was also pretty good, but I just really like that defeating the main villain did not automatically end the conflict. edit: I guess we're using spoilers Random blabber fucked around with this message at 00:34 on Jul 15, 2014 |

The second Diego fight was fantastic for all the insane poo poo that happened plus him getting killed by Lucy.

Okay, I just got to Bohemian Rhapsody and this is literally the craziest thing! Was not expecting cameos from Mazinger, Tetsujin, and Astro Boy. They think they're so cool.

I still love that Bohemian Rhapsody ends with Van Gogh drawing Weather Report an OC whose power it is to make everything normal. He builds his own deus ex machina.

Part 6's stands are absolutely bugfuck nutso, even by Jojo standards. A stand that can revive the dead as zombies and also the zombies are invisible, a guy who can make it rain poison frogs from another continent which is somehow a weather-based power, a stand that can make anyone incapable of remembering more than three new things at a time (Araki must have just seen Memento), a sentient plankton colony that adopts human form and intelligence and can shoot plankton bullets and patch up wounds with plankton, a dude who can bring any drawn character to life (even ones that have super powers and were just made up seconds ago and drawn by one of the other drawings) and force people to undergo the original stories that the characters are from, and a stand who can punch you to make two spiritual CDs pop out of your head so he can steal your stand and your memories and put them into any living thing, including plankton and birds. poo poo like this makes Part 2's chariot race look sane. And they all sorta make sense within the confines of the story.

Don't forget that it was also capable of creating illusions through putting people to sleep and making them dream up vivid hallucinations while they were out cold or just outright make people hallucinate things as other things.

Whitesnake's predecessor stands in days of yore could punch people to make phonographs or sheet music pop out the their victims' heads. Sooo.... Heaven's Door.

Remember that Whitesnake also once shoved a real physical music CD into some schmuck's head so they could be a jukebox to his celebrating something.

I forgot Steely Dan cheated Joseph out of some of his money before trying to kill him. That's fantastic.

Beef Waifu posted:I never get tired of the fact that Dan spent several minutes trying to sell Joseph on meat kebabs. Even better is the fact that Dan comments to himself about how much he usually sells them for, implying he's been there selling kebabs for quite some time. So is there a reason why Joseph couldn't just ripple himself to vaporize the flesh bud? It kind of seems like a no-brainer.

He wasn't infected with a Flesh Bud. It was actually Lovers loving with his nerves. If he tried to use the Ripple on it, it would probably work about as well as his first attack on the Empress.

I'm pretty sure he says he's infecting his brain cells with a fleshbud.

He's not at all. Lovers can only redirect pain from Dan to the person Lovers is attached to and turn dead cells into clones. The thing with the flesh bud and Enya was that she already had a bud inside her and Lovers just messed with it so it would kill her.

He said Joseph would die like Enya with tentacles. He's carrying fleshbud cells to Joseph's brain. Edit: at least that's how I interpret it. I'm not sure how else he was going to kill Joseph. Kurtofan fucked around with this message at 20:29 on Jul 18, 2014 |

The blood-brain barrier would clearly prevent Joseph from using the Ripple on his own brain without possibly scrambling his eggs. Young Joseph would have probably improved from the experience but old Joseph has things to do and Japanese women to cheat on his wife with.

Oh wait, you're right he does mention that he had Lovers bring a bud flesh into there. Although it seems like he hadn't actually put it into Joseph's head or anything, I don't think it was explained very well. Anyways, he could've easily killed Joseph through frying his brain from pain, it's not like that was the only way he had to kill Joseph.

Man, I had totally forgotten the "Stands can change size" plot point from The Lovers, I don't remember it being ever brought up again, except for maybe Little Feet and Goo Goo Dolls, but I'm not sure that counts if it's a different stand power causing it.
