Emporio during Jail House Lock was probably the most nauseous JoJo ever made me felt. That part just loving sucks. That and when Emporio starts peeing blood during Sky High I think?

The biggest failing I think of part 6 is underutilisation of secondary characters. It's loving criminal how underused Weather Report is when Anasui is, on balance, probably the second most prominent protagonist since those two aren't even in the same loving dimension of cool.
To be fair, anytime Weather is there, he's doing the coolest poo poo on screen. Creating cloud suits, making it rain frogs, turning people into snails, lowering the air temperature to make blood spikes.

The latter end of Stone Ocean is way more Weather focus though. Like, I think there's probably some merit in the claim that it does underuse its side characters (and perhaps that sticks all the way through to recent JoJolion) but Anasui probably comes off worse due to that than many characters, 'cos he's written off as some kind of superfluous murder freak rather than someone who contributes anything to the story.

There's no real need to have protagonists be actually likeable or good people, especially in a prison story, but Anasui could have done with more characterisation and fleshing out.

The only person who argues otherwise is Araki himself and even some of the statements he says are like "yeah, he is, but not he's totally me."

Say what you will about the fight itself but I love Fake Captain Tennille's and Dark Blue Moon's designs. They're great.

Dark Blue Moon is pretty much araki's take on the creature from the black lagoon while there's no way the imposter captain isn't inspired by Tom of Finland

I really like when Weather gets his memory back and becomes a huge rear end in a top hat. Because all of a sudden he becomes the crazier part of a duo that includes loving Annasui who just kinda looks on really confused by what is happening. :allears:

to do more than just empty quote, I finished Part 7 earlier this week and it is probably my favorite Jojo part overall. Johnny is great and my 2nd favorite Jojo, the story is cool and fast-paced and had more closure than Part 4 (and a way less frustrating ending than part 6), it has the 2nd coolest lady in jojos (also the 5th, even if that doesn't seem all that impressive), I really liked Diego and Valentine was weird and a good villain. The only complaint that I have is that a few of the deaths were really anticlimactic and sudden, to the point that I didn't even remember that one of them was shown on screen. Not naming names since Alcharagia has just been posting about finishing part 6
