The volume releases did make an effort to point that out, which makes it all the more fun.

Oh snap, didn't realize that the post was a DOUBLE CROSS from a manga reader. Good work there.

I almost slipped up bitching about Dio's second form being so hard for Joseph in the game in there (one, because Joseph is "dead" now, two because even stating he has a second form means that he gets a mid-fight powerup in the show, possibly).

Joseph and Suzie Q are the best couple in JJBA. I hope they didn't separate at the end of DiU. :ohdear:

seriously, always disliked that

It just had to be for Part 4 to exist, sadly. I dislike it too, but it's pretty obvious Part 4 is totally post script and other than having another Jotaro story, it was the only way to go.

EAT WELL, SLEEP WELL, SHIT WELL! THERE'S YOUR ANSWER!!
I'm actually impressed that no one has "accidentally" revealed the second time stop in the anime thread. One thing is ZA WARUDO, everyone and his dog knows that because of the meme, but Star Platinum being able to stop time seems to have gone mostly unspoiled.

I actually think it's kind of interesting in hindsight, most stands have an ability on top of being able to attack. Arguably not Silver Chariot.

Silver Chariot has the auxiliary abilities of sword-shooting and armor removal, but those are technically in keeping with his general stabbiness.

Hermit Purple can obviously be used as entangling vines, but also has the ability to divine things.
Hierophant Green can Emerald Splash at things, but can also possess things.
Avdol has all sorts of utility fire-powers, and can, of course, still punch and kick at things.
The Fool's sand can shapeshift into things.

Jotaro can...???

Jotaro (and arguably polnareff) is the only one who doesn't really have an ability before Star Platinum's timestop is revealed. He can punch and kick really well, but that's a matter of degree in comparison to the others, not really a specific ability.

edit: I mean, yeah, Jotaro's baseline capability with the stand is really high. He's got ridiculous eyesight and other senses with it too, but it's not an 'ability'

The thing about Star Platinum is that he just totally bullshits a bunch of random things during the arc, like sucking up Justice and Star Finger.

It'd be quite easy to just assume that Star Platinum is general usage or sort of stretchy.

i just kinda figured people would get the idea that over time dio PROBABLY had sex with some people based on aurain's post, which isn't exactly a huge leap in thinking to make.

and then, you know, actual direct link to the fact that one of dio's kids is an important character

I think Silver Chariot's power is being so fast that it makes illusions.

Too bad it only ever uses that once in the whole manga. :v:

How loving amazing would it have been if Jotaro had killed Pucci by shooting out a Star Finger? Like, imagine if Pucci was dancing just outside his time stop reach, then, BAM, time resumes with two fingers in his skull. Amazing.

Jotaro's power is to be the most hardcore motherfucker in the room at all times. He learnt to stop time because Dio was being more hardcore than him for a bit.

What do you even mean by "Dio's second form?" Do you mean how in Heritage for the Future Dio's sprite doesn't have the jacket, spoiling that he's going to take it off?


Is it his lips inexplicably becoming black?

I'm not sure how you could think it was anything else?

Unless you mean possibly his stand.

All I remember is the translation using ringing sound effects, but I could have just forgotten.

The scans also remove Narancia's stand cry.

edit: Looking at the scans again, I think I just interpreted this as Doppio hearing ringing from his head, and not actual speech bubbles.

edit 2: Here's a blog post from someone who I think must be working on the fixed translation of part 5. It's about how everyone is supposed to be characterized. I thought it was interesting.
