In A Silent Way doesn't curse, so clearly Act 3 is the superior stand.

Koichi is one of the best characters in Part IV, since he starts off as this wiener who's terrified of everything to someone who defeats Kira in the mental game. And it's absolutely a believable journey. I think that's what makes it really one of the best realized characters arcs in all of JoJo. He doesn't benefit from an especially badass stand, bloodline, or plot hook, but he still delivers one of the most entertaining fights in the whole series and you actually feel like you've really come to know him.

Don't doubt the BEAST OF THE EAST!

Can't wait until the anime thread sees a roid-raging, bondage suit wearing, heart-encrusted vampire manservant named Vanilla Ice and (after the laughter ceases) realizes he's the most stone cold badass dude in all of Stardust Crusaders.

I'm watching JJBA with a few friends, one of which is a spoiler hound that ended up finding out Vanilla Ice kills someone. So, I can't wait for him to see Avdol get erased this week and then his shock next week when Iggy gets his lungs kicked out.

Also, I'm not looking forward to watching Iggy get his lungs kicked out. :smith:

I can't help but wonder if that scene of DIO reviving Vanilla Ice from death is supposed to be a religious nod to Lazarus.

Well we do have DIO (god), The Son (Giorno), and the Holy Spirits (Stands).

I think based on the PV that Iggy dies and we might even get the fight wrapped up next week, and the week after that is probably Polnareff watching the spirits/Suzy Q and the start of DIO's World.

We still have 6 chapters to go, so it will probably be like D'arby where the end of the fight bleeds into the next episode.

I'm kind of hoping that we get more Suzie Q filler so we can have an entire breather episode before DIO.

Kurtofan posted:

That seems awfully fast, I expected next week to be episode 2 and then the third part of the fight in an episode called "Suzy Q go see her daughter".

Yeah this.

I'm expecting the fight to go up to Iggy's death next week, wrapping it up and then doing Suzy Q's stuff the week after with DIO's World being a 3 parter, splitting at Kakyoin's death, then Joseph getting drained.

My guess is they'll finish the fight in two weeks, have the Suzie Q chapter, and finish the episode with "It's been a while, Polnareff"

Vanilla Ice has almost the same number of chapters than the D'arby the player fight and is very different from the OVA version.

11 is quite a lot more than 8 when it comes to converting them to these episodes, and D'Arby is dialogue heavy where Ice goes 4 or 5 pages at one point without a word being said, and one or two regularly.

e: I've quoted you in here because talking about how long the fight is in the anime thread seems wrong to me.

I know for sure that Kakyoin thanking Jotaro and co for being his first ever friends and then saying goodbye to his parents is what's gonna get me.
