If he weren't an idiot, he'd approach Jotaro levels of overpowered, and somehow manage to use The Hand to stop time. Though it'd be cool if he had a Beach Boy/Pesci moment against someone and use his stand to maximum effect.(Kira? Who else did he fight against as an ally? Might have to do a re-read sometime soon)

He actually came pretty close to killing Akira before recharging him.

I never got the sense that The Hand was hugely overpowered or held back by Okuyasu. Like it's a scary as hell power but Araki just never gave him fights to use it. Doesn't he only participate in like four total?

Okuyasu's larger contribution to Part 4 was being the best dumb friend anybody could ask for.

dogsicle posted:I never got the sense that The Hand was hugely overpowered or held back by Okuyasu. I didn't really either, but when he fights Josuke, Josuke specifically says that The Hand would make Okuyasu a real threat if Okuyasu wasn't such an idiot. In context it might have been more a matter of Okuyasu walking into Josuke's tricks than failing to use his Stand's full potential.

The power to literally erase space is nuts but Okuyasu is too dumb/chill to make use of it. Which is why he's a great character.

On an unrelated note, I am looking forward to Magenta Magenta's voice if the anime ever gets that far. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHUChTS0tNY

I think one or two are for later in the D'Arby fight. The album is okay, but I hope you like the Stardust Crusaders leit motif because it's like 70% of the album.

Part 8 is pretty cool so far! I'm enjoying the mystery, but it's bumming me out that there's no answers for most of this stuff yet. I've only read the first three volumes, trying to squeeze all the length out of it I can before I'm out of JoJo. I'm still not sure of how I feel about Josuke as a protagonist since it's kinda hard to get a read on his personality, but they've done some good jokes with him so I dig him. The Higashikatas are bunch of weirdos. Despite it being over twenty years later and a totally different universe, it's nice to be back in Morioh. Maybe I just like one consistent setting. I'm also stupidly charmed by them using modern technology for some reason. The Higshikatas have a really modern house, Josuke has a smartphone, takes pictures with it and texts them to Yasuho and uses a GPS to get around. I'm really interested to see where all this is going.

I wonder if David will change the song Joseph listens to at the end. Unless they have hoards of money to get a Beatles song.

I might be talking out of my rear end here, but it may actually be easier to get a Beatles song in Japan. One of my friends is a DJ for a station that plays Japanese and Korean music, and it's something about having to get the license through royalty companies as opposed to record labels. I can ask him for more detail on the process. I asked him. quote:It's all the same, really Oh. quote:Japan uses the same general music system we do, there's just fewer of them. Fewer labels, I mean. Beatles is tough as poo poo. Beatles rights aren't owned by a record company. It's owned by the Beatles themselves. However, covering The Beatles isn't hard. BECK Mongolian Chop Squad had a Beatles cover in it. But they have to pay royalties on every time that track is sold. Its probably easier to get the rights to a Beatles song in Japan. But I think even the dub of BECK replaced the cover. Butt Ghost fucked around with this message at 17:02 on Apr 29, 2015 |

I'm just waiting for Paisley Park to get a proper explanation. The whole "two random choices" thing is ambiguous/not useful at first glance, and choosing one doesn't seem to entirely close off the other. Glad it finally showed some punchghost ability, most Stands just using passive abilities started to bother me.

I think the idea is that all Stands who can manifest as a punchghost can punchghost, but their other abilities might be more useful and powerful. Magician's Red could probably throw a punch, but what's the point when you can breathe fire? JoJolion will probably have more direct confrontations later on, but we're still in the process of everyone feeling out each other's powers.

I think Araki said™* once that Hermit Purple could theoretically have a full form. I'd like to see it, fan art or official if he randomly decided to draw it. *- No source, naturally.

we don't even know who the main antagonist of jojolion is yet, so once that's established i'm sure that things will get a bit more physical. we don't even know who josuke's other half is, yet, and i'm sure that'll be important info.

Yeah I was mostly referring to JJL, where the fights haven't really gotten physical but we've seen humanoid Stands. Like I'm unsure whether to expect King Nothing to ever get physical, but I did for Paisley and NKC and the former just happened. Gappy is the only one to really fight so far, which explains away my complaints anyway. More than anything I think it comes from finally reading JoJo

I feel like there have been little hints that the other half might be Johnny Joestar, which means it will probably not be Johnny Joestar and will be someone entirely different
