Maybe its a Deadpool cancer vs healing factor situation where even if Josuke fixes him, his cells will still actively return him to being a monster.

Or maybe they just kinda overlooked the fact that Josuke could fix him. :v:

Josuke not using his ability to fix poo poo he could easily fix is one of the reasons I like him. It's like he (or araki) forgot that things like rohan's house or koichi's money or that one dude's cell phone could be fixed so suddenly it's funnier in hindsight.

At least with Rohan, you just know for a fact that he'd just wait for Josuke to offer to fix his house up free of charge so he can say "I refuse!".

He'd definitely spend the 20,000,000 yen over letting Josuke help him out with that without doubt, so it's barely even something that counts compared to the other ones in my opinion.

You mention those but not Kira's button? :v:

Eh, I guess it's a mixture of Josuke being a dumbass, the author forgetting the details or specifics of Crazy Diamond's power. After all, what's the biggest thing we've ever seen Josuke fix? Maybe he can only repair a certain "volume" of stuff. Uuuuuh, and maybe Josuke actually has to KNOW what something was before he fixes it; I don't think he ever repairs something that he didn't see before. There seems to be a link between what he fixes and how he perceives it, after all, since stuff gets deformed if he's pissed off. Since Josuke didn't know who the button belonged to before they actually realized who Kira was, Crazy Diamond might not have been able to fix it.

...speaking of power inconsistencies, I just remembered another one! At some point, Josuke says that, if something is fragmented, the parts always return to the largest mass once repaired. But when Okuyasu loses his hand to Red Hot Chili Peppers and Josuke drags him back by "healing" his hand, it should actually happen the other way around - the hand zooms back to Okuyasu! In fact, that's just what happens with Kira's hand later on...

Who knows! Kind of a shame we never saw Josuke in the story again, though (and never will, seems like) - he's probably my favorite JoJo of them all, barely edging out Joseph! Speaking of which, how come Joseph never tried spotting Kira with Hermit Purple? Does he have to know who he's looking for, and he could (theoretically) have spotted Red Hot Chili Peppers because they'd seen the Stand?

Aaaaaaaaaaaah

Yeah, I think it's more fun when everyone is just a little bit stupider than they should be. It helps that the bad guys are like this too, what with Red Hot Chilli Peppers guy showing himself for no reason, and Kira constantly blurting out his name.

If I'm not mistaken, I'm pretty sure someone calls out Otoishi on how stupid it is to arrive in person to prevent Joseph from finding him.

I think it was Josuke, actually.

But if it wasn't for that, we wouldn't have seen the guy who attacks by playing power chords. Man, I wish Otoshi had somehow turned into a good guy.
