Ending an episode right after what looks like we just lost two main characters would be pretty dickish. I hope they do that.

Bring back Roundabout just for that

I am dreading hearing Kakyoin's theme right before ZA WARUDO cuts us to half a minute of silence before Kakyoin gets a hole in his chest.

Man I can not wait for the DIO fight and all this talk gets me so pumped for it.

I do hope they keep the OVA sound design for stopped time. Making it all echoey was such a good stylistic choice.

If there's one thing everyone can agree the old OVA did right, it was the DIO fight.

Guy just wants to find Jesus, but Jesus was in his heart all long...

I love that Part 7 so far is just National Treasure but with the corpse of Jesus Christ and people turning into dinosaurs and shooting their fingernails

oh god... kakyoin's theme is loving banging too... :ohdear:

One of the best things in the OVA is that whenever DIO stops time, there's a sound that's basically sounds like a racecar going by iirc before cutting to complete silence. Please bring that back

Yeah, the sound design for that is so drat good. The racecar and echo-filled silence are both fantastic.

I think this is different since they're talking about the actual singer Weird Al instead of a punchghost called Weird Al, thus there's no legal basis to claim that it'd be causing confusion. There's nothing against just namedropping a celebrity.

Edit: Also, Weird Al is a cool dude anyway. I can see him being okay with having a punchghost named after him.

Weird Al's powers are based off dumb puns of other Stands.

"I could really go for a sandwich right now."
"Magician's Bread will take care of that!"

"What's that noise? It sounds we're surrounded by frogs."
"Little do they know that this is the work of Kerosmith!"

"My boyfriend left me because he found out I wasn't a virgin..."
"Okay, no, too vulgar. Go visit Josuke."

It can't end on the escalator scene. The preview already showed Avdol stopping a statue from crashing into Joseph, which occurs after that.

I guess they're also adding a Kakyoin scene? What could that be? Kakyoin just sitting in a hospital bed saying "drat I wish I could see"

e: It might be a scene of him getting discharged and being given a pair of shades.

All of this filler is 110% designed with the sole malicious intent of making the deaths of the Crusaders even more painful. If there aren't a bunch of screen caps of tumblr break downs when Avdol and Iggy die, I'll be shocked. Kakyoin biting it shortly after will just be twisting the knife like a drill.

The Kakyoin scene is gonna be even more heartbreaking because it's prefaced in the manga with a thing explaining his inner motivations

so we're gonna get the announcer doing a little speech about how Kakyoin never fit in anywhere before, and how he's found the greatest friends he could have, and he'll do anything for them

then he's got a hole in his chest and he don't know why

On top of that, his final thoughts are of his parents and he says goodbye to them. drat....

Kakyoin being ostracized as a kid because of having a Stand explains a lot. Dude's a weird loner and thinks licking cherries is normal and feeding poo poo to babies is fine.

I kinda wish that Kakyoin had lived.

But someone had to die in Stardust Crusaders, and I liked all of the cast so much that I wouldn't have wanted any of them to die. :smith:

The anime has definitely made me appreciate these characters more. When Avdol gets Iced, I really didn't care since he felt kind of bland in the manga. I felt bad for Iggy cause he's a dog...

The finale is gonna be rough and I think once Kakyoin bites it, people will really come around on Last Train Home if they're not already.

How often do you get a series of something where the quality keeps a consistent upward curve when it reaches its end?

Even SBR and DIU have little bits where they sort of lose some steam before they reach their climaxes (which are amazing as all hell) but Egypt kind of keeps a consistent upward arc from here on out in the Anime (and if you're not crazy for Sethan, it will start at D'Arby)

An acquaintance was reading through stardust crusaders and found himself really enjoying it until D'arby the Gamer because it was just a fight through playing video games. I liked the D'arby fights but I can see why someone expecting more brutal physical action would see mindgame fights as bland, especially since the person in question likes battle tendency way more which was definitely more physical in its fights compared to stuff like D'arby Jr & Sr
