Don't shoot him?

i think we already all knew that, but it would be the touch to make it extra noticeable as the living crusaders look over at an empty space

also i saw some random comment on youtube where a person suggested 'what a wonderful world' as the ending song for part 6

Yep. It's foreshadowed, but you still expect to see them there in the ED. Cutting them out would give it that little extra touch.

After all,



Joseph's only holding three tickets.

that scene is also perfect for cutting them out, as well. polnareff and joseph's overall demeanor can take on a much different meaning when the train is way more empty. i'm genuinely expecting them to do something like that. hell, they made special endings for oingo & boingo & hol horse.

gently caress. I'd noticed the river but not really the nuances of the train car scene. I think this might be tipping the scale from "kinda sadistically interested in my friends' reactions" to "legitimately sad as hell all over again" now.

i mean seriously, all three of them are in positions that would make them super easy to remove. also it may just be wishful thinking skewing my perceptions but avdol and kakyoin kinda look vaguely drawn differently from the rest which could imply they were added in afterwards once they had what they needed for the proposed ED of the final episode.

I'm really really hoping for a soft MUDA to start being audible, getting louder with each addition intro, until its comparable to the ORA

If ends on a cliffhanger with DIO about to decapitate Jotaro and kill Polpol, I want the OP of the next episode to be only MUDAMUDAMUDA and the Star Platinum bit to be ZAAAAA WARUDOOOOOO!

This is my favorite thing so far from the anime, just look at this magical floating Egyptian butler to a dracula and tell me it doesn't own.

Why the gently caress can he do that, anyway?

Either his stand is carrying him or Kenny G hosed with the layout to make him look like that

I always assumed the latter.

Not as big a fan of this fight as a lot of the others, mostly because of its placement, but I'm looking forward to seeing F-MEGA and Oh! That's a Baseball! animated.

d'arby #2 would be much better off if it happened earlier. i wouldn't much care if it just didn't exist, honestly. it's a weird stop inbetween pet shop and the finale stuff.

If you don't think F-Zero to the death is the coolest thing, you're beyond help.

I think the fight is fine on its own merits, it's just that it's such an obvious retread of the first D'Arby fight so soon afterwards, sandwiched between Petshop and Vanilla Ice. As one of the two penultimate fights in Part 3, I would've liked something with a little more [GRAVITY] than video games (awesome as the concept is in theory).

Honestly, I feel like this fight would've been far more at home in Part 4, though at the same time I suppose it foreshadows the possibility of two people having similar stands.

Most of Stardust Crusaders is Araki showing all the things he learned during his trip through India, Pakistan and the Middle East. When these chapters were made, around late 1991 or early 1992, he had probably just gotten an SNES and wanted to show his readers how cool his new racing and baseball video games were.

Araki wanted to become a documentary film maker but couldn't make it so he became a mangaka instead.

This may be a bit much over anaylzing, but in same vein as the river: in the OP, Iggy, Avdol and Kakyoin are all on the left side of the big staircase while Polnareff and Joseph are on the right.

God, I'm gonna have to play Heritage for the Future story modes once this is all over so I can pretend all the Crusaders lived.

I genuinely don't think you can over analyse the OP and ED. The OP in particular. It has so many little details that reference something or other.

I like the alternate interpretation of "Jotaro and Kakyoin buy their own student tickets and Iggy needs no ticket" more, if only because that doesn't remind me of dead people (and canine). :smith:

No, look, Kakyoin just got really tired and fell asleep on the plane ride home. Jotaro woke him up when they got back to Japan and he lived a long life and he's fine okay? Kakyoin's fine. He's fine...

Someone already pointed out that they're symbolically dead in the ED because they're on the other side of a river

Also Kakyoin is in a separate window so even after Iggy and Avdol die to Vanilla Ice, there's still no clear confirmation that Kakyoin kicks the bucket too.

David could be really cruel and only have Jotaro in the second to last ED. I'm pretty sure we actually see Josephs ghost and I think Polnareff was pretty mangled by Dio as well.

The dev had to patch in a new good ending later cause at release the only ending she'd put in where everyone lived was a bad ending lol

That game has endings out the wazoo, it's a shame only certain ones go into new game + though

It's true, but he's hard enough that he's p much impossible, like, he isn't really meant to be fair and actively cheats and will admit to such and is only accessible in the debug room iirc.

Araki will attempt to debuff either one party member or the whole team (which has the chance of causing Fear/Confused), try and inflict Fear on the party, and spill either Indian ink, which hits the whole party and may inflict Darkness/CantFind/Bleeding status or white-out, which will attempt to 1HKO the whole party. He can also use Holy Sandstorm, hitting the whole team for high Wind damage and inflict Blowback/NoBreath/Bleeding. He may also slug someone with his right arm, which is practically a 1HKO due to dealing 900+ damage.

Periodically, he will summon Dio Brando, Cars, Kira, and Diavolo to heighten the difficulty. He will occasionally decide to revive them.
This sounds like the most bullshit overpowered secret boss I've ever seen in any video game. I approve.
