seems like diavlo can't read the future and win against GER is because he suffers from the same thing that happened to bruno where only his mind was sped up, so he sees the future and thinks he's getting out of the way but oh no I actually got punched

first thing he does with GER if show off how he can create life more better now, so it makes enough sense

I don't think GER would allow him to look into the future in the first place, his stand power is literally stopping people before they start.

I was avoiding Pt. 5 at first because of everything I'd heard and now all I have left to get through is it and SBR. Pt. 7 is infinitely more rad than I could've imagined possible, but honestly, all these vague warnings are just making me want to check out Vento more. It's half reverse psychology, and half that apparently there's awesome poo poo like killer rc planes and dudes who breathe poison and get written out of the story and dudes getting towed away by trains and gently caress yeah I wanna see that.
Part 5 was good. Or at least I think it was supposed to be good. The fights were good, but the translation is seriously bad enough to ruin it. The ending was also bad, but I don't think it's the translation's fault on that one. For me, Part 5 was worth a read, but only one. At least until we get another translation, which probably won't happen unless Viz translates the manga, and/or we get an anime adaption.

Part 5 has some good ideas and is fun to read at times (It's got dudes unzipping themselves and vomiting scissors), but it's kind of a mess in it's current state and I wouldn't read it again until a re translation.

Diavolo has wonderful hair though so Part 5 has it's merits

I really want a physical compilation of Part 4 though, I'd read that every goddamn day.

You have been a most worthy adversary, but in every game, there are winners and there are losers. And as you know, in this game, losers get robotizicized!
Mista and Bruno are the only memorable parts of part 5 for me, and even then it's hard to identify with the gang because well...they're a gang. Of psychopaths.

Even with the worst possible translation part V is still worth reading. You get the gist of what's going on in stand battles and possibly the plot, the main thing you miss out on is the characters' personality and the small side details about stuff.

Narancia's solution to Formaggio is, I'm pretty sure, the most extreme conclusion to a fight in the series. With their complete disregard for their own safety, Narancia and Jolyne could have been the deadliest duo in the series.

Isn't there a one-shot where Jolyne meets Bruno and Abbacchio? Missed opportunity there.

Part 5 is sick. They fight Magneto, Ice Man, even stronger The World, and a special friend from part 3 makes a great appearance. It has the best dance, Notorious B.I.G., and a powerful zipperman who gives it his all

It's probably less that stroheim died from wounds and more that nobody bothered to put him back together for the third time.

How could he be shot in the face? He has a gun in his chest, if someone tried to shoot him he could just shoot the bullet.
