Because in terms of heavy things that DIO could've dropped on Jotaro, a road roller is just way funnier. It just comes out of nowhere.

I'll never get over that Joseph came back from death and, within an instant of grasping the situation, he decides "I am going to gently caress with my grandson so goddamn hard."

He does it to Erina too at his own "funeral" by sneaking up behind her and covering her eyes and I'm amazed she didn't kill him for real on the spot. Never change, Joseph.

To be fair, he didn't even know it was his own funeral. I assume he was just trying to cheer up his friends before realizing the truth.

He spends 9 seconds in DIO time™ looking for big heavy things to drop before settling for the road roller. Just picture that process.

Settling or seeing and thinking "yes. this is the best thing ever".

Not a car or a truck that would do the job fine, nah. A loving road roller that weighs around 20 tons, yeah that'll work.

you know, at this point i feel like Japanese Opinions On Various JoJo Arcs is slowly becoming the "My Dad who works for Nintendo said..." of the western jojo fanbase :v:
Parts 3 and 5 are confirmed the most popular parts in more ways than I have time to recount. Concerning Parts 6 and 7, their comparative "Lack" of popularity is attributed to someone crunching the numbers and finding them to have the lowest overall sales, which is a pretty solid indicator. SBR also had to change magazines, for reasons which are only partially understood.

That said, low sales for Jojo still translates to respectable sales for a lot of other series. Araki's not in dire straights and Jojo continues to be beloved in all its forms. However, seeing as they contracted a lesser-known studio over one of the heavy hitters, with the need to cut up parts into their own seasons - including cutting parts in half - with one of David's staff replying to future season concerns with "We'll need to sell enough DVDs," there is room to think we may not see all of Jojo animated should enthusiasm among specifically the anime fans diminish.

If Part 4 gets confirmed, Part 5 is a given, and Part 6 is most likely safe as well. The problem is with the jump from Part 6 to 7, especially since SBR represents a "Break" from the old series.

Capcom needed an excuse to get rid of a sprite on-screen that had already served its purpose. It doesn't explode in the manga.

I prefer the road roller to remain as a monument to road roller da. It would be a shame for it to just go away.

FWIW, apparently quite a few of the SDC blu-rays are already sold out and hard to get your hands on.

Reading Part 4 now that the Part 3 anime's over. Just finished Koichi's "fight" against Kobayashi, and so far I'm really enjoying how it's mostly kind of a slice of life thing but with Stands. They all seem like they can do some real unorthodox and clever stuff. Well, maybe not Aqua Necklace since that felt kind of like a retread of Geb but with an overall less impressive user. The rain thing was kind of clever at least.

Speaking of which, goddrat was Angelo's defeat really loving dark. Josuke can do some real hosed up stuff with Crazy Diamond if he sets his mind to it.

Hey now, Crazy Diamond totes has the kindest Stand ability.


Also if any motherfucker watched the latest episode and their enjoyment of it was somehow diminished because the road roller didn't explode or because there wasn't a ten second clip of Josuke at the end or whatever you really need to take a deep breath and then punch yourself in the face until you've knocked the disease out of your brain.

The Star Platinum stopping Jotaro's heart part and the events surrounding it were better some in the OVA

It is much cooler when Polnareff directly has a hand in DIO's skull getting cracked than when Jotaro has to bail Polnareff out

On one hand the ova has garbage character design.
