lmao it's a chapter of pucci chasing emporio and he can't go for the kill yet because he slowed time down specifically so he could catch emporio

Yeah that sure was working really well since Emporio kept running around corners and wasn't actually caught

Well yeah I guess both, but in Sheer Heart Attack, Josuke and Okuyasu roll up on the fight scene after everyone's down and Kira knows about Crazy Diamond so he tries to pretend to be a bystander and ask Josuke to heal him too like he did Jotaro and Koichi and Josuke wonders why this dude is asking this high school student to heal him and puts two and two together.

If you must blink, do it now.
Josuke hadn't healed anyone yet, Kira just overheard that he could during the fight between himself, Jotaro, and Koichi.

EDIT: I just reread the fight and it turns out I'm wrong, WHELP. Still disagree that it's dumb though.

This isn't comparable because Pucci at any point can kill this child, it is not like any of those characters who can fight back and in Joseph's case Kars actually was loving around which I said he was the exception?

Kira's chapters about trying to blend into Kawajiri's life were some of my favorite parts of Part 4 and I wish there were more of them. Stuff like Kira filing off the shoe sizes his old shoes so his new wife doesn't wonder why he's wearing shoes two sizes smaller than usual and practicing writing his new name and handwriting were aspects of the Body Snatcher plot I hadn't seen before and I really liked it.

Like I don't even know what you're trying to argue, Kite. The entire point of Pucci's death is he is brought down by his own hubris, that's like the reason he dies at all because he is trying to preach to this child about his grand vision and destiny and ignores the possibility he can be stopped for whatever reason.

besides, pucci already knew emporio was fated to return back to his room and he didn't know emporio had weather's disc so emporio would've been slaughtered because he was already basically trapped. then pucci's all "small things can change but only I can truly avoid fate now" or whatevs and so emporio puts the disc up to be punched in by pucci, thus changing fate and letting emporio do something else besides die.

it's a really cool fight and idk why baal is so weird about it lol

I am perfectly willing to admit I am wrong about Emporio not pulling the wool from under Pucci, because I looked back and it's kind of subtle, but his hands are their pulling his hat up to let the disc drop.

I will say I don't really care for any of Dio's sons who show up in Part 6.

Pucci is a great villain though.

I like Versace because he has the same backstory as the protagonist of Holes and my favorite stand in part 6: literally digging up the past.

Literally everyone always tried to go in for the kill while monologuing and in Kira's case he had to follow goofy rear end rules because of his powers

I'm pretty sure Death 13 stopped or at least slowed down to monologue at some point.

So I finally buckled down and read the last volume of part 7.

Lucy Steel is the most badass motherfucker in the world.

A couple months ago I decided to reread the Eleven Men fight because that's one of my favorite stand fights by virtue of it basically just being a brutal shoot-out with no frills, and since the First Lady/Tubular Bells chapters came right afterwards I figured why not, read them too. I forgot how much brutal poo poo she went through, like goddamn. Also, killing a raving mad First Lady, somehow I always forgot that over her sitting on Lucy.

also emporio stomping pucci is cool as heck hes cool just because of that. i like how the child characters get steadily more useful with each part, like they go from being actively detrimental to killing the final villain. tsurugi is going to turn out to be the main protagonist the entire time

I mean I was mostly referring to major villains because trash mob goons like Death 13 are always brought down by either their own hubris or being insanely out of their league or a combination of both. That being said Kakyoin would've wrecked him no matter what and fed him poop because Kakyoin's the bomb.

Same, I always thought that was really cool. Even if Poco did end up being helpful in his own way. It's a good way to show the theme that you shouldn't underestimate those technically "weaker" than you.
