Every conflict in Part 6 was indirectly caused by the KKK.

I think Pucci may be one of my favourite Jojo villains, because I find his backstory pretty interesting. Mainly because of how after his sister dies he has a moment of clarity and thinks "poo poo, this is my fault", before remembering Dio's words about 'gravity' and instead deciding that it's all fate's fault and he did nothing wrong. So then he decides the way to solve this problem is to make it so that everyone just accepts their fate and sothus his sister would be fine with getting killed by the KKK since she would have known it was coming. And he somehow thinks he's the good guy.

Most Jojo villains are unapologetically evil, but Pucci sincerely thinks he's doing the right thing. Which I find interesting.

Kira fought to be left alone, Diavolo to be the shadow government, Pucci for his religious ideology and Valentine for Realpolitik. All of them manage to be interesting and unique in their motives and none are simple evil for the sake of being evil.

Dio fought for who the gently caress knows because it's changed at least a dozen times.

Dio wanted to be rich because he was a greedy dick, and after becoming a vampire had an obsession with being perfect. DIO is a bit more nebulous.

DIO went insane while trapped at the bottom of the ocean for 100 years, and formulated a plan to attain Heaven involving CDs, babies, a fig tart, gravity, and killing Joestars. Somehow it worked.

I maintain that DIO was just loving around with Pucci because, well, it's Pucci. Dude just looks like the guy who will fall for any line of poo poo you throw his way. The fact it WORKED would probably surprise DIO as much as anybody if he wasn't already a corpse. Double corpse. Double corpse that was triple dead.

DIO's probably had a different idea of what heaven should be from pucci but we'll never know.

I didn't mean to imply that the other villains were uninteresting or just evil for the sake for it. But the majority of their motivations are largely selfish, they want to achieve their goals solely for themselves. While, Pucci truly believes that his plan will make the world better because he's deluded and nuts. To be fair though, I did forget Valentine, which i'm kind of ashamed about. His conversation with Johnny near the end of SBR was really good.

The way I see it, when DIO is talking about how great it would be if everyone knew their fate, what he really means is "It would be great if everyone knew how great I, DIO am. It would also be great if I, DIO, knew I was going to be fished out of the ocean after 100 years. I, DIO, was seriously getting worried I would be stuck down there forever and eventually stop thinking."

I rather like how DIO wanted to achieve Heaven while also employing the Stand representing the Devil.

I actually saw a fan comic of DIO and Pucci that had that same tone to it.

The first panel of them together is Dio putting his leg over Pucci's, it is hilariously hard to interpret their relationship as purely platonic.

I finished part 6. So what exactly happened at the end there? I get that it was a rebirth of the universe, but why did it start again if Pucci wasn't there to gently caress up time? I kind of thought of it as Emporio achieving what Pucci couldn't and reaching true heaven, where his friends can live normal lives, but I'm sure that's over-analyzing it.

I think the universe getting rebooted over and over is something it does naturally. Made in Heaven just accelerated the process.

Pucci didn't complete the cycle. He stopped it short so that he could try to kill Emporio in the prison, and, well, that didn't go as planned.

I thought it was that Pucci was going to recreate the world without the Joestars/Kujos where everybody already knew their fate and thus could live without worry about what would happen (his version of heaven), but since he died before the cycle was completed the universe rearranged itself into a version that everybody didn't already know the end to.

Thus creating the Steel Ball Run universe :can:

It's never been said at any point in time that SBR's universe is related to the end of Part 6. I mean, Part 7 wasn't even "related" to jojo when it originally started being in print. There is literally no reason to assume that it's related to that ending.
