Interesting stuff in no particular order:

- After restoring Joshuu from corruption he gets up in part 4 Josuke's face. His reaction is to have Crazy Diamond punch him in the face and knock him out. Josuke 8 asks what he's doing. Josuke 4 apparently thought that the corruption wasn't completely gone yet because of how Joshuu was acting. Part 8 Josuke thinks for a second and says something along the lines of "Oh, that's true." instead of correcting him.

Dialing back to this Eyes of Heaven spoiler, I love that after not even knowing him for ten minutes, Josuke, who's ability comes from his kind heart, already wants to beat Joshuu's rear end in hopes he'll stop being Joshuu.

I wish the crew had survived. I didn't feel any gratification from the ending.

Stone Ocean's crew, like Jonathan long before them, had deaths that paved the way for something new. In the moment I enjoy those downer moments of the series for being interesting but even more I like how those severe changes open the story up for more possibilities.

I don't like Stone Oceans ending solely because of what is lost, but I absolutely love SBR, and I do like how Araki used the reset to basically have whatever fun he wanted in SBR, unbound by any of the stories of the Joestars in the previous parts.

No because it is not a combat stand in any capacity

Do you know how Capcom implement Moody Blues? You sit there and press buttons while it's active and it registers the buttons to a certain point and does them all in succession so Abbachio can attack at the same time as well. That being said, you'd never get to do it because it takes forever to set up and Abbachio can infinitely lock opponents down with his punch combo.

Maybe have Moody Blues copy what your opponent previously did? To win you'd have to outmanoeuvre your opponent into getting beaten up by their own past actions. Not sure how well that would work in practice but it's at least kind of consistent with what his stand does

By the way I decided to crack open 7th Stand User in RPG Maker 2000 to check out how things are running.

So the Overdrive SP the final merchant in Cairo sells, you know how the description says "Repackaged Overdrive SY"? Literally. It literally is Overdrive SY, except it costs 700 more. Overdrive SY 2 is 2% More HP healing and the minimum it can restore SP is raised to 25% from 20. Other than that, it's exactly the same as Overdrive SY.

I cannot see what gives Cars his HP regen skill but I can tell that Araki must have it too, since he only has 9999 hp Listed

I will now list off what 25 Status Effects do. There are 65 in all.
Additionally, while I wont list it, Status effect chances are divided into A-E Rank categories, with each one being how likely the effect is to take hold.

Poison : 5% HP+1 Every turn
Darkness: Reduce Hit Rate chance to 20%. Heals after 3 turns with a 20% probability
Sealed (No idea who does this): Seals your Stand preventing abilities I assume. Heals after 3 turns with a 40% probability, has a 10% chance of ending when hit.
Berserk: Reduces Hit rate to 50%, limits to physical attacks, halves defense. Heals after 3 turns with a 30% probability, has a 25% chance of ending when hit.
Confusion: Attack self or allies. Heals after 3 turns with a 30% probability, has a 25% chance of ending when hit.
Sleeping: Your character falls asleep with no chance to act. Heals after 1 turn with a 25% probability, has a 50% chance of ending when hit.
Bind: Halts movement and actions. Heals after 1 turn with a 40% probability, has a 30% chance of ending when hit.
Dizzy: Knocks a character down for a turn. Heals after 0 turns at 100%
Fear: Dizzy with different hit rates
Time Stop: Stops time Halves Defense and Agility. It says it has a natural heal time of 5 turns,which I can only determine means it's counting both enemy and player turns. The strange thing is I've seen it last for longer on enemies, and some characters who should be immune to time stop in the code, aren't
Paralyze: Locks down your movements. Heals after 3 turns with a 30% chance
Dissolve: Halves defense, Deals 20%+1 HP Damage a turn. Heals after 1 turn with a 30% chance and on a hit at a 20% chance.
Magnet: Is 5%+1 HP damage a turn and halves agility.
Eagle: is 10%+1 HP Damage and reduces hit rate to 90% Heals after 3 turns with a 30% chance
Specials: 10%+1 HP Damage every turn, halves all stats, Reduces hit chance to 80% Heals after 1 turn with a 50% chance.
Pursued: Limits actions 3%+1 HP damage and 1% damage a turn. Heals after 3 turns with a 10% chance
Insects: 2%+1 HP damage and 2% SP damage a turn, 80% Hit Rate, halves agility. Heals after 3 turns with a 10% chance and on a hit at a 20% chance.
Barnacle: 2%+1 HP damage, Halves all stats but Spirit. There is no healing from Barnacles.
Bugs: 7%+1 HP damage, Heals after 3 turns with a 10% chance and on a hit at a 5% chance.
Swarmed: 5%+1 HP damage, Reduce hitrate to 7%. Heals after 3 turns with a 10% chance and on a hit at a 5% chance.
NoSword: I have no drat idea where this status comes from, but it can halve attack and knock out the attack command. Heals after 3 turns with a 30% chance
CantFind: Reduces hit chance to 5%. Heals after 2 turns with a 15% chance and on a hit at a 20% chance.
Distract: Reduce hit chance to 20%. Heals after 3 turns with a 30% chance and on a hit at a 30% chance.
Drunk: 50% Hitrate, halves all stats, 50% chance every turn of shaking it off.

There's far more, but I'm tired, so I'll go to sleep and finish them off later.

Part 6 had a lot of problems but Jolyne, Hermes, and F.F. worked great together.

Part 6 was actually pretty risky and experimental when you think about it. I'd be interested to know how many of the hiccups (like Annasui) were due to editorial interference vs. Araki writing himself into a corner.

Not that I want to revive the Annasui Discourse again, but to me he felt like he was supposed to be a one off character at first, but then wasn't.

I have a hard time actually hating on characters so he was always just kind off "ehhh" to me, but him existing to get constantly dunked on made it a little better. Him ragging on F.F. in addition to her dying for him was also uncalled for, though. :v:

They are not different characters because they are used at the rear end end of Stone Ocean to show the characters deaths weren't for nothing. How can you even say it's recurring when those two characters show up at the end of Stone Ocean.

It was a soda and they can have Jotaro drinking juice, it's kinda boring how half of the cast is sipping tea but with a slightly altered sitting pose.

This big thing that one character goes through and she dies just as suddenly. If your argument is they showed those characters at the end for no reason other than to emphasize that point then it is just piling on how lovely Stone Ocean's ending is because it is just needlessly piling these cruelties onto this child and it also makes it so none of the characters have any real closure either.
