I thought we already established that Jesus Christ was a stand, The Passion, first used by John the Baptist, then later rediscovered by Dio Brando

Mulva: Sep 13, 2011; It's about time for my once per decade ban for being a consistently terrible poster.

No, Jorge Joestar is just stupid and not stupid awesome, and is thus not JoJo enough to matter.

e: Purple Haze Feedback really the only one worth a drat.

According to Jorge Joestar, at one point the town of Morioh sprouts legs and walks around. There's also an army of Karses on the moon because, while each universe reset creates a new Kars, it doesn't delete the last one.

Mars, actually. If you're mentioning characters not being deleted, you can't forget to mention Rohan staying perfectly intact through each of the 36-37 resets because he's so focused on his work. As for Kars they all respect humanity after their respective run ins with Joseph and at some point they convince Killer Queen to leave Kira and follow one of them I think?

Just finished Purple Haze Feedback and it was really good. Please read that. I tried to read Dead Man's Questions which is about Kira being a Ghost Detective, but I kinda fell off it. May try to get back into it or try and finish Part 6 for like the third time.

Torquemadras: Jun 3, 2013

Finished with Part 5 now. I'll just start with the obvious thing that absolutely everyone will have heard a billion times already:

What the gently caress was up with King Crimson?

I gathered it works like this: King Crimson constantly sees ten seconds into the future, and if he doesn't like what's happening there, he goes "NOPE" and starts evading. However, during those ten seconds, everything else continues as if King Crimson hadn't seen the future... only at the end, King Crimson erases that time so that nobody remembers, and kinda merges himself back into the regular timestream. Meaning he can do whatever he wants while everything happens normally - he stays in the equation, while simultaneously telling the equation to go gently caress itself and doing his own thing.

What I don't get is how he could kill Narancia. Previously, King Crimson only removed himself from the "equation" - he moves just to the exact spot to deliver a devastating surprise attack, he flicks his own blood into people's faces, he deletes the exact time that a bullet spends travelling through his body... Basically exactly like Dio's The World, only much, much better defensively. Goddammit, and just when I thought I understood that Stand! :mad:

Watch the Futurama episode Futurama. That's literally exactly how King Crimson operates.

You mean the one with the mutated super basketball players where there's constant timejumps and nobody knows what happened during those jumps? I saw that explanation several times... only there's no dude who can remove himself from causality during those time frames, and and and

You know what, I'm sticking with my explanation. Makes perfect sense to me, except for Narancia's death...

The zips of Part 5 I downloaded had three different explanations for how King Crimson worked and eventually I just stopped caring. My biggest question is why is it so mad. King Crimson is constantly gritting it's teeth. What's bugging ya, dude?

King Crimson can do The World stuff, but his main schtick is removing the cause from an effect. Or more accurately, the time from which a cause transpired.

In all seriousness, this is probably the simplest/least dumb King Crimson explanation I've seen.

Flip through it again and keep track of Giorno's body. He vanishes from the scene immediately after the first time skip, so presumably while everyone was freaking out over what was happening King Crimson quietly killed Narancia.

The main thing about King Crimson is not just that it can skip time, but also that it's really fast and strong. Give Diavolo a few seconds and sure it can just grab someone and dunk them on a fence. Throw in a couple more time skips so nobody notices and RIP.
