Restaurant de Nouvelles "À Table" Proudly Presents:
A Climactic Encounter Ending on 1 Negate and a Dream

The World always had it, it's a lot bigger there than it usually is.

"Holy Diver... you've been down too long in the midnight sea."



Yeah, all of JoJo is actually just based on the song Holy Diver, which you can see plainly if you read my 20 page thesis on it.

Little preview for ya: "The Vision Never Dies/Life's A Never-Ending Wheel!" is about Pucci.

Dah dah dah dah dadada daaaah daaah is actually how Araki thought of Heaven.

But the scuba tanks are likely a nod to Holy Diver, jokes aside.

Lots of Iggy filler this week apparently, and it doesn't end with the cliff hanger you'd assume it would have done.

This is actually what I expected the cliffhanger to be, personally.

Were you expecting things to end with Polnareff taking out the sword?

I was expecting it to be a few pages later, where Polnareff is getting overpowered by Khan's Anubis, I think that would have made for a better cliffhanger. But I didn't anticipate all the Iggy filler.

No big deal but it means the next episode will have all the action (except for the Chaka fight).

I expected the cliff hanger to be where the sword starts getting a grip on Polly itself.

Apparently, this is a thing that exists.

Watching the episode again, my favorite parts are the Chaka fight, pretty well animated and Polnareff's badass pose is pretty cool, and the shaving scene, pretty sinister.


Next week is where it's at though! A single episode should be enough to cover both fights right?

Khan Fight, Commercial Break, Black Polnareff fight.

And then Iggy defeats Anubis by trolling.

Sounds like one episode to me.

All this new Iggy filler with him being a ladies' dog and funny/adorable as all hell will only make his death infinitely harder. God-drat it, David.

The best episode so far, probably.

And I'm okay with Iggy filler making him have more presence. With the manga, I was just kinda like "Oh, that's a shame." when Iggy died, because he really just sat in the background most of the time.

I like how this girl on Youtube who does anime reviews (Lunar Spiral 1677, I think) pretty much went "Oh wait, Iggy's a dog and this is Jojo. :ohdear:" at the end of his debut.

Holly gets sick and Iggy dies. Did Dio also kiss Jotaro's first girlfriend? Because that would be some dedicated trolling. Next-level poo poo.

yeah, if he had any black parents the kkk would hate him. one-drop rule was something racists believed in

Stone Ocean had a lot of stuff that made zero sense. At least the fights and stands were A+.

Also getting Steel Ball Run out of it was a good thing too.

I was pretty surprised that Pucci could even go talk to the KKK about that stuff without getting roughed up, to be honest. But I vaguely recall that part, so maybe they came to the church. I don't remember.

And yeah, Dragon's Dream was cool. He messed with his User even more than Thoth.

unless you mean just the part where it's everying trying to escape from Pucci up til emporio beats him?

I just group everything that happens in Cape Canaveral together as one fight. The weather report vs pucci fight was cool too with good uses of powers on everyone's part

I consider the last Pucci fight to be from when Made In Heaven develops. It's also bad and terrible.

That fight is the biggest example of why Pucci is an awful villain who never actually loses until he dies.

The actual fight itself wasn't that great but I liked the parts where they were just trying desperately to escape and using all their powers together as a clump of stand users sailing through the sky. Also the last bit with Emporio was badass.

Still in the beginning of Part 6 and I swear I was stupid when I first started Stone Ocean because I didn't quite grasp how Hermes's Kiss works. Now I get it and it's super rad.

F.F. is still cool.

That's all I got on Part 6 so far.
