I never noticed that Iggy has his later design in the picture. :stare:

Makes me wonder why they even bothered giving him that realistic-ish dog look for only two episodes.

N'doul was pretty cool. He almost took out the whole group on his own, killed himself to avoid any mind reading of Joseph's, and had enough honor to tell Jotaro some information about his enemies out of respect.

I think it's pretty interesting, though, how N'doul makes it sound like he and the other Egyptian God Stand Users are all familiar with DIO's power as well as each other's powers. It's a stark contrast to, say, Devo (Ebony Devil) who went on about how the Stand Users he knew of that worked for DIO went out of their way to avoid showing each other their abilities.

It's a stark contrast to, say, Devo (Ebony Devil) who went on about how the Stand Users he knew of that worked for DIO went out of their way to avoid showing each other their abilities.

Despite this, the Egyptian Gods work together only slightly more than the Tarot guys. Oingo works with Boingo, Alessi works with Mariah, and Terence D'Arby sort-of works with Kenny G. N'Doul, Daniel D'Arby, Anubis, Pet Shop, and Vanilla Ice all work alone. There are some plausible reasons for this, though; Oingo taught Boingo to distrust people other than himself, conventional combat-oriented Stands would probably just get in the D'Arby brothers' way, and Pet Shop and Anubis don't seem to like humans much.

It's an interesting example of how Jojo's plot structure differs from most battle shonen today. In a series like One Piece or Bleach, every party member essentially fights a different opponent one-on-one at the same time. This demonstrates more sensible tactical thinking on the part of the villains than the Jojo approach, but sometimes leads to awkward pacing due to having to cut between the different fights.

Not Thin and Useful

All the Egypt stand users straight up know if they spill any beans Dio will do far worse to them than what the crusaders would(and he's actually close enough to do it). Any one of them could easily kill the entire group too, if they happen to fail oh well Dio can take care of himself, it's his world and he lets you exist.

That's what makes Egypt fun for me.

Savor these 24 episodes alcharagia, they are great.

I appreciate that in the probably-years between episode 1 of Stardust Crusaders and now, the concept of a Stand has nebulously shifted enough that what was once a manifestation of the endpoint of the kind of principles Hamon energy drew from can now be put under the same concept as an evil sword that makes people murder people.
