The best part about part 3 and onward is that non-JoJo characters actually get to win fights.

My favourite part of Battle Tendency might be when Lisa Lisa finds out George died and she's just like "oh, now you hosed up" and goes and kills that vampire.

The only not perfect thing about Battle Tendency is that Caesar and Lisa Lisa didn't get to beat any of the pillar men.

Really out there question, but after the Hol Horse & Boingo arc, did Hol Horse actually die or just get sent to the hospital? Speaking of it, how many of the "Villians of the week" actually die? I know a lot of them just got the poo poo beat out of them, but how many were actually confirmed dead.

I would think that "trapped forever" is a fate worse than death.

Pretty much. I'm pretty sure Stand users can't will their stands to kill themse- Oh.

Isn't Anubis concerned that he'll rust away? If he did, he's basically dead too.

lookin at her in color, it strikes me how similar joeseph and lisa lisa look. i don't think i've seen many good examples in manga of a child actually resembling their parents like that.

I started typing 'except in part 3 it's polnareff and jojo winning most' then remembered that pol starts poo poo constantly but doesn't finish it nearly so often. (I actually like kakyoin/polnareff a little more than jotaro so pol's idiocy is endearing). But yeah, gradually Araki sees the utility of really giving characters a good at-bat or two. Maybe I'm not giving part 3 enough credit there but so often it ends with Jotaro batting cleanup. I'm done with the baseball metaphors thanks

Jotaro gets clean-up a lot because at that point none of the other stands had really satisfying finishers (except maybe Polnareff). That changes as the series progresses because a) stands get more interesting, and b) more stands get stand cries. Stand cries are extremely important.

I'm looking forward to the anime thread responses the first time josuke punches through an innocent person to get to the bad guy. If last time around was a carnival of 'the last JoJo character was better' maybe that puts a stop to it right off the bat.

I really enjoy that Hierophant Green's main ability is just to loving barf large gems it makes out if it's hand juice. Like, Kakyoin uses it's stretchy body in really cool ways, but in the end, it just comes down to blasting rocks the size of your head at enemies.

This is going to be the EoH cover art, I believe. I suppose it confirms Gappy, Johnny and Jolyne, though they were never in doubt. V-Jump comes out today and there's new info in there too.

I'm pretty sure I saw this here first but I'll repost https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHP2Z3go8Is My Jotaro figure came in and I cannot tell if they accidentally sent me the same head twice or if the difference in expressions is so subtle that I can't pick it out - such is the nature of Jotaro Kujo.

josuke and co. definitely are pretty quick to forgive people, but on the flipside they're very ready to gently caress up anyone who truly puts them and/or their loved ones in absolute danger. mostly josuke.

Silver2195 posted:[*]One strange bit: The man on the tower says he's been there for 3 years, so Superfly can't be the result of getting shot by the Arrow. I guess he still counts as one of the 6 Stand users Kira's dad mentioned because he still recruited him? Huh, I didn't think about that. Though honestly anytime I try to really consider the timeline for this stuff my head starts to hurt and I have to remind myself that I'm reading a bunch of stuff that was originally spaced way, way out so of course he just forgot details/decided they didn't matter. When I was reading Rohan at the Louvre recently I started getting very confused about the timeline for Rohan's abilities, cuz I thought he got them from the arrow in Morioh more 'recently' but then he has them when he's a teenager in the book? I dunno, maybe I'm missing something there that I'll figure out during the re-read. I'm sticking with the anime thread pace so it'll be a bit before I get there.

It seems reasonable that Rohan might've sprouted a stand like Tonio did, considering they are similar in their obsessive quest for professional supremacy.
