I just realized a little touch when Joseph was ordering - he was getting Enya a kebab too. :shobon:

Can Polnareff now see through Chariot's eyes or is he just slashing randomly inside Joseph's brain?

It's kind of amusing how everyone softens up to Enya a bit despite her trying to murder them.

Also, is it just me, or did the ropes she was tied up in disappear since the last episode?

Well, they had her outnumbered and knew how her Stand worked. She might have been a threat to Joseph alone, maybe, but the rest of them knew exactly how to beat her, and she wasn't in a giant cemetery any more. Might as well treat her nice :v:

It'd still be Joseph. It'd also be Joseph's daughter.

They're using Hermit Purple's spirit television power to see what's going on.

You see,
God doesn't help little frogs.

He helps people like me.
Just a reminder that the basis of Joseph's personality is exerting the least amount of effort to achieve a desired result through his sharp wit and plenty of pluck. Dude's not about to keep up with his Ripple training if he just beat the baddest of the bad ancient Aztec vampires.

This Stand fight's one of my favorite ones for how low-key and awkward it is compared to everything else, and you just know Steely Dan's making it worse for himself the more he pisses off Jotaro. :allears:

We go play orbital catch around the curvature of the earth, son.
This show's pacing is definitely improved by cliffhangers, which were all over the place in the manga but many shorter stories that still had those cliffhangers are turned into single episodes for the show. I'm happy the latest one is a really nicely placed cliffhanger, and hope this kind of pace is a very regular thing.

I fully expect that everything will get resolved before the commercial break and the entire second half of the episode consists of ORAORAORAORAORA.

You know, the bad thing for Steely Dan is that in ten minutes, you know he's getting his face caved in anyway whether Joseph lives or not.

I Don't Get It,
I Don't Get It,

For the manga readers out there, has there been an explanation that I've missed, or will there be an explanation of why Dio manifested a stand and why him doing so caused the entire Joestar line to manifest one as well? I know this could be spoilery, but a simple yes or no I think would be fine.

I mostly expect it to be a thing where Araki just never bothered explaining, because gently caress it.

The only explaination why all the Joestars suddenly got a stand was that Dio has Jonathan's body. It's mentioned when Holly collapsed.
For how he got a stand, Araki didn't really explain it in Part 3.

The only bit that actually talks about how dio got a stand in part 3 has already happened. Enya told him about 'em and then somehow he got one.

If it's what I think it is then it references some stuff from after Part 3 where Araki decided how people actually get Stands in the first place. So yeah, absolutely meaningless to someone who is just watching the anime without reading the manga.

I just wanted a yes or no answer. I didn't mean to start up a discussion on spoilers as I have some theories, but even then it's related to the end after seeing the OVA years ago. I was going to wait until near the end of the anime to talk about it here. What have I done?

You're talking about a man who in part 1 (Spoilered in case you haven't watched part 1 [watch part 1]) strolled up to Jack the Goddamned Ripper and recruited him as a mook. Do not doubt Dio Brando.

I'm pretty sure Joseph mentions at the beginning of the series that Stand users are inexplicably drawn together.

This is a consistent recurring thing throughout the series. Stand Users are attracted to other Stand Users.

Maybe Dio stole a stand (or at least the ability to have a stand) from someone by drinking their blood? I can kindof imagine it working that way.

I suppose that explains how the enemy Stand users keep finding Joseph and Co despite them changing their plans at every other city.

I know the age of "Your next line is..." Joseph is over, but I still miss it.

Looking forward to Dan getting his rear end beat so far into the ground that it pops out back in Japan.
