I kinda liked the world reset at the end of Part 6 just so those few characters could get freed from their eternal hells, then almost immediately Magenta Magenta gets stuck in a river until he stops thinking ...

There's an untranslated SBR doujin out there where Diavolo just pops up during random parts of the race just to die again.

His first appearance is the carcass Pocoloco uses to drift.

Araki probably ran out of places to shove in extra Joestars, but still wanted the main character to somehow be connected to the previous parts.

I now wish that each part of the Corpse was actually just a piece of Diavolo from another death.

Ticket to Ride's space bending could be like King Crimson skipping time chunks to bring it closer, and Love Train's repulsion-of-bad-poo poo could be a remnant of GER's fuckery on him

If you replace all the components of a gangstar with concrete and bullets until none of the original components remain, are they still the same gangstar?

IMO when Gio dies/died his stand powers go with him so his body crumbles into whatever poo poo he used to repair it over the course of part 5 and also all the people he helped have their legs and poo poo turned back into rocks and planks of wood.

I think that's cells (so...I guess atoms too, yeah) and that's about every seven years.

It's extremely dumb and poo poo that Gold Experience is a better healer than Crazy Diamond.
It's also dumb that Stone Free can heal too, though it's not as effective as CD.

He's been tapping into Aunt May's bank account!
Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
I give more leeway to Stone Free, Jolyne simply knew how to sorta patch someone up due to having been in a gang and uses the abilities to shittily stitch someone. IIRC a few times this means that the recovery is very slow and painful, though yeah at some point she's just effectively a regular healer.

Thinking back, I think Crazy Diamond and Soft & Wet are the most interesting Stands by quite a lot, their main logical use is rad and the bullshit they pull with that is awesome yet very believable unlike stuffing eyeball bits on your face. Stone Free and Tusk are also rad and all, but CD and SPW are the raddest.

I'm surprised you take more grievance with jolyne healing than foo fighters healing

Jolyne's at least kinda makes sense cause she's more or less stitching herself up with her own skin, but foo fighters is just like "gently caress it, shove some plankton in there youre good"

Really jotaro and johnny are the only jojos who didn't have healing powers in some way, and even then jotaro was able to use his powers to heal kakyoin and polnareff of their fleshbuds and reviving joseph, and johnny had access to the power of the zombie horse to help him too

Where'd you get this impression? As far as healing people went, they seemed mostly the same since the world works on bullshit time, but Crazy Diamond could also fix objects.

To be honest, I didn't have a big problem with Gold Experience. It randomly lost two of the abilities it started with, but he never really "gained" any other powers, he just used the ones he had in a different way, and I thought it was kind of clever. After he realized he could heal, he doesn't gain anything until he uses the arrow, which was meant to be an "I WIN" button to begin with.

You could make the argument that Giorno can heal himself, but Crazy Diamond's still much more capable with its healing powers if you're not considering self healing.

Gold Experience isn't supposed to heal you and it hurts like a bitch when you use it that way, so I'd say the manga (and myself) is siding with Crazy Diamond as the better healer. Given the choice, I'd take CD any day.

If you're talking about Giorno bringing Bruno back to "life", then it's shown that he's not really "alive" and he's more like a spirit using his dead body to walk around. Jotaro's whole "no one can truly bring someone back to life" statement still stands. Unless, you know, you're Joseph but whatever.
