Every species can smell its own extinction.
The announcer could also follow some of the fights. He was the best.

I think re: Jotaro and Josuke's brief fight it's important to remember that Jojo isn't a story where defeating someone is a binary question of "power levels" or whatever. People constantly win confrontations by thinking quick or seizing a sudden opportunity.

Think of it like a boxing match (which it essentially is), Jotaro's a great boxer, and he's surprised that Josuke is better at boxing than he expected, this guy could get a few good licks in. This isn't going to predetermine the outcome or provide an accurate metric of who is "stronger" or "faster".

Josuke getting flung off a motorcycle into a car, using Crazy Diamond to punch his way through it and then instantly fix it while capturing the enemy Stand in it is way cooler than anything Jotaro ever did.

Josuke is the best

The upcoming television anime adaptation of Hirohiko Araki's JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable manga will get a new promotional video on March 21. The catch is that the video will have three versions and each version will be shown once on street screens in three separate cities at the same time.

one of them is going to be a heavily edited cut of the final fight against kira

one is going to be okuyasu crying profusely while eating italian food

the last will be a previously unknown scene of jotaro standing in front of the higashikata residence's door and trying to figure out how to talk to josuke's mom without coming off like a goon

Every time you post RHCP I start to think there's a very solid chance we might get Under the Bridge as an ED.

I like Blood Sugar Sex Magik quite a bit, and Californation/By The Way I listened to a fuckton when I was a wee teen. Don't worry, I'm not in a position to judge you. I was just thinking it fits the pattern and the tone for an ED, and it's WMG to boot.

RHCP comes off as being pretty likely for at least one ED song. i doubt they'd go for something super high energy for the first season, at the very least.

RHCP annoys me as a Stand because it seems like it ignores the 'Stand Rule' of Strength inversely proportional to Range. It shows a lot of power and speed for something whose range is so high.

I guess the technical catch is it's Range isn't related to the user but instead to Electrical Sources but it's still pretty shaky to me, since Electrical Sources are so easy to come by.

Okuyasu goofs is putting it mildly. Doesn't he get regenerated from like a hand after RHCP drags his rear end away?


That fight hurt my feelings


E: i know crazy d doesn't regenerate, he gets pulled back and healed

Yeah, honestly it's a cheating bullshit Crazy D gets a power he can't do thing.

Okuyasu is 100% dead before he gets 100% okay.

Haha I did a swift edit to try and fudge that but ultimately you're right, he seems dead and koichi just loving panics while jotaro and josuke both act like it's all whatever.

It's pretty egregious when Keicho is killed the same way ultimately. But it's all whatever, Crazy D is best, Okuyasu is best, RHCP is a great fight and the ending is :3: as gently caress.

I hate the Koichi panel though when Josuke lends Joseph his arm. It's pretty hamfisted.

yeah, Crazy Diamond doesn't ever show that style of power again does it?

Like the ability to return the larger piece to the smaller piece when restoring something? He does the opposite with Kira's hand, but I don't think I remember 'well I'll just drag him back to his tiny thing', because by that logic he could have just dragged Kira back to his hand when he cut it off.

The bringing Okuyasu's body back to his arm thing isn't really outside of its stated power. The problem is that Okuyasu's brought back from being dragged inside an electric cable, so essentially becoming an electric current. There's no real way to posit that as him not being fully dead other than Araki deciding he wasn't dead and Crazy D can't bring dudes back to life.

yeah I got that part, too.

It was just a weird sequence as a whole to me, with the way Crazy Diamond's powers were being used in that entire sequence don't ever seem to pop up again.

Kind of like how I was thinking the other night it was really crazy that Kira managed to perfectly pick Cindarella's Salon when he was fleeing from the group.

Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
RHCP has a special place in my heart because Crazy Diamond still sounded like a legitimate Stand name, as well as The Hand, but then a little bug thing pops out of an electric outlet and declares that we are underestimating the power of Red Hot Chili Peppers and that felt like a beautiful start to what real Stands are named like.

He didn't do that for the same reason that he stole multiple people's phones during the Highway Star chase instead of just fixing the first one

Because he's a big dumb goof
