KNEEL BEFORE THE WICKED KING!
Based on how everything's shaken down so far, I wouldn't be surprised if Jotaro dies next episode and Polnareff has to be the one who beats Dio. And somehow does.

I mean, yeah, that's almost definitely not going to happen though.

Am I the only one bowled over by the fact that Jotaro's school uniform has $2000 pants?

Clearly Avdol comes back from the dead to save Polnareff from almost dying, allowing him to win somehow.

His current outfit's a custom-made replica of his school uniform.

Given 1987 exchange rates it was closer to ~$1,300. They're probably custom-made since Jotaro's a little rich boy fashionista who wouldn't be caught dead in a regular school uniform for plebs. e: also he's a 195 cm tall Japanese high school student so he needs to get special pants anyways

Does Holly get a lot of money from her Dad or is Jotaro's dad like a super successful musician (as opposed to just some guy who plays at clubs and stuff every now and again)? Like Japanese David Bowie or something?

The Kujo family house looks more like an older estate, so maybe Jotaro's dad was also born into wealth? I don't doubt that the King of NY Real Estate Joseph Joestar would hesitate to spoil his daughter and grandson, either.

He's at least good enough to be performing overseas, which I think is what they said he was doing in the first few minutes of the first episode.

If you must blink, do it now.
The whole reason Jotaro's dad is out of the picture for Part 3 is he's on tour, so I would say he's at least moderately successful.

I got the impression he's like a famous classical musician or something. He's definitely not japanese David Bowie though.

I thought it was him going into street punk mode with the standard "You ruined my exceedingly expensive clothing when you bumped into me, give me money to fix it." thing. Quite a bit of posturing, considering his grandpa is bleeding out about 20 feet away.

Guys, we're straying from what is actually the important discussion: how the gently caress Dio's pants work? I mean, look at that


How do they stay on? They're loose in front for maximum crotch comfort, but they don't seem to have any tightness at all on his waists. Is that also The World's power? Is Dio freezing time every other five seconds to make sure his pants don't fall off?

They look like they're attached to his belt, but only in the back. Imagine all the random poo poo that would just fall into those giant open leg tubes.

Well, Avdol's "I am dead" card didn't show up until two episodes later.

Yeah, I was wondering that. My theory is that either, he is using The World to, like, run underneath him holding him up, using Time Stop so it isn't as obvious, or it's yet another bullshit vampire power he's learned. Like, he is drawing in heat from his surroundings in order to super-heat his sweat, using the expulsion of boiling armpit juice to fuel him like a rocket.

Dio also has a gold aura all the time, while the only other aura we see is Kakyoin just before he dies. I'm guessing it's like a final-ripple style thing that Dio just gets to use all the time because he's technically undead.

I think they're saving Joseph's death card for the end. He can't truly rest until DIO has finally be purged.
