I really hope an episode ends right after Vanilla Ice kills Avdol. Like, smash cut to credits once we see his hands go flying.
This but with Kakyoin. Kakyoin does his final Emerald Splash and right before it hits DIO, hard cut to The World's fist right through Kakyoin's chest. Next episode's cold open is Kakyoin destroying the clock tower

I hope they stick to 2 episodes for Terence. Yeah I know his fight is 11 chapters but they could stand to expedite things.

A lot of D'Arby the Sequel is screenshots of gameplay. They can compress it somewhat in animation.

That being said, I expect D'Arby: The Empire Strikes Back to be three episodes in the same way that Pet Shop was 2. The larger part of D'Arby "3" will be Vanilla Ice 1, I reckon. I kinda hope not, but I can see it.

i'm guessing 2 episodes for d'arby two, 3 for vanilla ice and suzie q and the last 4 for dio and the epilogue

i'm so loving pumped guys

I want to re-read the Vanilla Ice chapters so badly, but I also want to go into it surprised. I already re-read DIO and I remember Terrence D'arby fairly clearly.

After getting choked up at the Iggy "tribute" this episode, David killing Iggy is probably going to destroy me, not to mention the deaths that bookend it. I'm so glad we're in the final stretch though, this season has been amazing.

Do we have confirmation it'll be 48? For some reason I thought it was 50-52.

If you must blink, do it now.
If D'Arby the Gamer gets three episodes, there's no way Dio gets less than six.

Ice is quite a bit shorter than D'Arby and has some quite lengthy periods without dialogue. It's a sure fire 2 parter, without padding it.

I don't know if there was ever a confirmation of 48, but it's probably not unheard of for them to get a couple of bonus episodes if need be. 4 episodes is probably enough for DIO. DIO's World is unreal, but much longer than 4 and the pacing's probably going to be dog poo poo.

right, but I'm guessing they'll pad it enough to bring it up to 2.5 or so (shouldn't be super hard, even with how short the fight was in the manga) and then end the episode with suzie Q and Polnareff confronting dio to build up the hype

Apr 30, 2011

like, there's no way polnareff seeing dio for the first time isn't an end of episode cliffhanger and IMO that's the way they're probably going to do it unless they throw in a clip recap episode

Yeah, definitely.

I would say that having Araki come in to draw the super high quality closeup of DIO's face when we first see it would be mindblowing, but I've seen his DIO of late so I don't want it. I do hope that David go above and beyond themselves to get that HQ close-up in though.

GodDIO, it's so close, I can't wait.

GodDIO, it's so close, I can't wait.

That would be weird because he'd just be drawing part 7 Diego. Araki's art style has evolved drastically, and while I think it's for the better, I actually don't think he's physically capable of drawing in the art style of part 3 anymore. It would just look weird and out of place.


I kind of like his new, skinny Jonathan, but his new Pillar Men are atrocious. If anyone needs to be drawn in 80s Fist of the North Star brick shithouse style, it's the Pillar Men.

It's actually quite sad to watch the episode knowing that two of the characters are in the last half an hour or so of their lives, seeing as Avdol, Iggy and Polly wait for 10 minutes and Avdol basically dies as soon as he gets inside.

It’s kinda nice, Avdol got to spend his last day relaxing in egypt, watching the sun set. :unsmith:

I can't wait to see the anime thread's reaction to Iggy sacrificing himself for Polnareff.

Or Avdol dying for real this time.

The Last Train Home is gonna start hitting hard real soon. That photo is going to be the worst.

I nearly posted in the wrong thread when a bunch of people in the anime thread said how Iggy is basically dog Joseph. I wish Iggy really was dog Joseph, then he could buck the trend of how being either a Joestar or involved with the Joestars tends to lead to a short life. :smith:

The two threads have really similar titles, which isn't helping one bit. Especially since tabs cut off the last part of the title.

I really want to hear a remixed version of Vanilla Ice's theme from All Star Battle during Polnareff's comeback. It somehow sounds heroic, despite being the theme of DIO's most dangerous minion.
