Your way works too posted:I think it might legit be the most shocked I have ever been at a twist in fiction. For whatever reason it caught me so off guard. It's up there with Polnareff's return from Vente Aureo for biggest twist in Jojo.

He came into his own with the designs and combat in part 4. Such a nice system of fighting.

I thought the Egyptian God stand battles in Part 3 were mostly pretty good, it was just the Major Arcana arc where alot of them just seemed to be there to fill out the list. Hanged Man and Justice were pretty good fights, but I think overall that part of the story really would have been better served by having less stand battles and more adventures and screwing around on their journey through Asia, one thing I really liked about Part 4 is the chapter like Let's Go Eat Italian or Visions of Cinderella where there's no real stakes and the characters get to do some comedy or interpersonal drama instead I guess the Egypt arc did did a pretty good job carving a middle ground really, making half the stand battles themselves into skits or comedy of errors

Thinking back on SBR, Diego really wasn't a bad guy, was he? Sure, he'S kind of ana rrogant rear end, and he's certainly an antagonist because he wants the same thing as the heroes and fights them for it, but he never does anything super villainous until he sacrifices that fangirl, and that's alternate Dio with The World (implying he's closer in personality to original Dio).

Without Jonathan's noble spirit and strength to struggle against, Diego never rose to the heights of ambition DIO did. So he's a poo poo, but he never had to go further than that to get what he wanted, so he's just a poo poo. hoobajoo fucked around with this message at 17:26 on Sep 3, 2015 |

Diego is an rear end in a top hat, but to be fair he's no worse than Johnny.

i don't think diego would turn himself into a vampire and try to take over the world, so i think that automatically makes him less of an rear end in a top hat than dio

This was basically my exact attitude reading the story. Diego is pretty normal for a dude involved in the SBR, and it's real weird in story how hostile Johnny acts towards him at first. I mean, in his backstory there's a rumour he murdered that old rich woman, but it's Dio, so I'd say it's equally likely she died by ripping off her own head because she thought Dio wanted her to.

SBR is about an emotionally damaged bootstrapping Italian orphan from Victorian "poo poo all over the poor" England and his fights against a minor Naples' aristocrat, an upper class British guy, an evil geologist, and the President.

I thought during the flashback before he gets Tusk Act 2 it shows his dad showing favor to Diego over him, paralleling the relationship in Phantom Blood.

No that's Johnny's older brother who dies when Danny (the pet rat who was released into the wild) scares his horse. Which is just one of those JoJo things that could have turned out to mean something but didn't. Dio is just another very skilled and popular British jockey.

True or false, Diego has a reputation. It's not that surprising fellow jockeys would be wary of him, considering.

no I'm pretty sure a later flashback shows that Johnny knew Diego already, or at least knew of him I remember a scene where Johnny looks at Diego from afar

My only dissapointment with SBR is that there wasn't a Baseball fight. With the Spin, you'd think it was a no-brainer.
