Its great for poignant scenes. It would have been great for the Hanged Man Eps.

Walk Like An Egyptian doesn't really work as a lead in to credits. The show's format for Stardust Crusaders doesn't really work to end an episode on lead in music either, aside from the two parters.

It worked for Phantom Blood and Battle Tendancy, because they were continued stories in a serial format. The whole ending each chapter with an almost cliffhanger every time. Stardust Crusaders finishes the baddie of the week (now fortnight) and wraps it up nicely.

Yeah, I'd say part 2 has more fights. Judging from some things the OVA has coming up in the anime and what's happened so far, I don't think there's many fights. There's lots of battles, but they don't always involve fights.

It's what I love about the series. Once it hit stands, Araki stumbled on a gold mine. Suddenly you could have edge of your seat intelligent combat without any fighting because of the power creep getting to a point where they can just kill each other in a single strike.

Maybe the cars was the first stand user and his stand creates masks that turn people into vampires.

It's probably because Walk Like An Egyptian is a less dramatic song than Roundabout. The sad-sounding guitar strings that begin Roundabout are good for tense moments, while the tambourine that starts off Walk Like An Egyptian is less so.

Reminder that the digital version is out NOW. Every single sound effect kanji has a tiny, unobtrusive english translation next to it, but there's some awful artifacting on the colored pages around english text.



Black and white pages are fine, though???

Didn't know High Priestess was getting 2 episodes, that's cool.

But of course they do the break right before THE  BEST  STAND  USER makes his appearance.

Yeah, though Jotaro answering a phone call while being attacked by a shapeshifting stand in a sinking submarine was kind of cringe-worthy.

Especially since High Priestess could have shapeshifted into the phone.

edit: I hope people will make a video of the finally scene.
