I did some looking into that a while ago and I think that it's "TOKI YO! TOMARE!", as in "Time! Stop!", commanding time to stop, rather than "time" (literally "clock") being the object (as would be denoted by the "wo").

And yeah R/L is weird in Japanese, since they don't have a 'dedicated' L sound, they just use the R phonemes. From context we can be sure it's "THE WORLD" rather than "THE WALDO". Not that it's a reference which would surprise me, considering it's JoJo.

Tomaru (imperative with the -e ending) is intransitive. It's not like English where "stop" pulls double duty with "The car stopped" and "I stopped the car". TomEru, with an e, is the transitive version.

So tomaru/tomare can't take objects at all.

Yo is a vocative marker, so sort of marks that he's specifically addressing the element preceding it.

Yeah I know about the L/R thing in Japanese, I just wondered by the fan meme spelt it that way but I can kinda see why now so I retract the question

While za warudo might be a meme, it is definitely possible to be aware of it meme without necessarily knowing that it's from Jojo. I'd seen it in the form of this:



And then years later I learned about Jojo through the anime and watched some videos of the old fighting game, and had a little oh that's where that's from moment when I saw Dio using the knives.

I had to stop myself from finishing my thought re: kakyoin losing to d'arby because it's really "wow you brought him back after a traumatic injury just to have him lose something that's totally up his alley and then get loving punched through by DIO"

I'm actually forcing myself to refrain from saying "stop watching now and pick up again a little later, you'll be glad you did" because I think just saying that ends up being spoilery somehow

I don't think I'd want to try watching all of that in one sitting.

It's probably my favorite fight in Part 3, but man is it loving hard to watch.

Also I listened to Kakyoin's character song again and made myself really sad.

He became a zombie earlier, Polnareff just said what he did cause he didn't know Vanilla already killed himself once today.

He couldn't have, because he was in direct sunlight after the first death

I know what you're talking about but he wasn't. In the manga it's just Cream and in the anime where he pops out he's still inside in the shade.

Vampires in Jojo don't just spontaneously explode in close proximity to sunlight, they have to be hit by it directly.

I really love how Polnareff's win all came down to him winning mind games with Vanilla Ice

All he went through, and he still has the will while his opponent is loving losing it

Ice doesn't really transform into a vampire until Polnareff stabs him in the mouth...

Even though he cut his own head off.

If any of you are feeling bad, angry or upset, try not to think about the fact that Crazy Diamond will never hold you tight and listen to you to make you feel better.

Yeah, Polnareff only hindered Jotaro against Dio. And I dunno, I kinda got the impression that it was experiencing stopped time that made Star Platinum realise its own power? So Jotaro would probably be able to fight Dio regardless.

It was almost definitely Joseph telling Jotaro in the first place that made it click

What I really like is that once Joseph tells Jotaro about the time stop, it's Jotaro who notices that Star Platinum and The World are similar types of Stands. You can practically see the gears turning in Jotaro's head as he considers if he can stop time too.

Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
Straight up not knowing what The World does must make for a pretty great viewing, I got spoiled of that years ago by cultural osmosis.

Reading his comments also made me realize that I love DiU a lot because any other part would've loving killed Okuyasu, but nah, DiU goes through with some guy we barely knew, a fairly likable girl we also fairly knew and the villain.

Also makes me realize taht I should probably stop liking Yasuho so much to save myself the pain. :smith:
