Same but for when Josuke drives into a wall, flips over the handlebars, the wall and into a parking lot towards a parked car, uses Crazy Diamond to obliterate his way through it so he doesn't die and then fixing it as Highway Star walks over it to trap it.

"A man rides a motorcycle at top speed. He is being pursued. If he slows down, he'll be caught. He cannot slow down. So he turns a corner, and there at the bottom of a steep incline a young mother has parked a stroller with her child in it. Her baby is crying and she's trying to get him to calm down. She doesn't see the man on the motorcycle. The man on the motorcycle can't stop and has no room to maneuver. So he punches his motorcycle so hard it throws him and it into the air and shatters into a million pieces. Sailing over the heads of the woman and her child, he quickly reassembles the entire motorcycle in midair, lands on the far side of both of them, and takes off without losing speed."

let me tell you about a stand

called pearl jam

e: I also really love Superfly because it's quite possibly the most worthless stand of them all.

And of course everything about that final throwdown with Kira is the best poo poo.

I got my friends into Jojo by telling them about the Death XIII fight and how a grown man makes a baby eat poop.

EDIT: its great because they are going into DIU blind and the reactions to last week's ending were wild. They were so hyped about the Angelo's hand and it killed me to stay quiet about the rest of it.

The sniper fight with the literal rat is incredible though

And the time a plate of spagetti gets punched

And the time Josuke uses a man's own blood to shoot him with a shard of glass

I like insane and outrageous happenings as much as the next person, but those can't replace genuine ingenuity during a high-stakes situation where a character is required to make a do-or-die decision and they come up with something loving creative and awesome.

See: Jotaro vs D'Arby

Cheap Trick is better than either Yukako encounter.

At least it ends in a pretty funny and appropriate way.

Cheap Trick has some great moments but death stands will never not be a terrible idea.

It's just a hangup of mine that completely takes me out of the experience every time.

I completely agree on Death Stands sucking but if you're gonna do it that was a good way to do it, definitely better than B.I.G. which had to be dropped into the ocean to be stopped even though that was pretty loving funny

Civil War rules. A fight where Jesus convinces the main character to shoot himself in the head to get a powerup has automatically got to be a loving fantastic fight.

Decided to reread Part 4 to find the panel where Rohan defeats Cheap Trick and ended up reading the first chapter of Another One Bites The Dust instead.

I completely forgot Kira actually killed Hayato before resetting.

That's the whole thing that triggers him wanting reset powers because he knows the moment it happens that hes hosed out of this identity and he cant change his face anymore because he killed Cinderella lady.

Say what you will about Koichi but his development over Part 4 does a pretty good job of teaching us that stands can grow/develop new powers.

Then when Kira unlocks The Song of Time it felt more feasible to me than than Star Platinum suddenly learning how to freeze time.

Idk Jotaro farting out time stop is better than a macguffin justifying it imo

Jotaro's time stop could have done with more foreshadowing through the entire arc but I don't think Araki came up with it until late.

I think within the context of DIO's World, the time stop is perfectly foreshadowed to the point where it doesn't feel like a massive asspull.

Don't shoot him?

the arrow pulling out a new ability makes a lot of sense honestly, especially with how it's built up beforehand about what it does. the requiem stand stuff could use a bit of cleaning up, though, because even with a good translation for vento aureo i'm sure it'll still be weird as hell to read about.

I do dig the gradual growth of Dio's paranoia and the magnet trick, etc. Him being unsure about whether or not Jotaro could move/see was definitely the right approach.

I like the Yukako arc because i like the way her hair is drawn and the beginning of it is funny. Enigma Boy is so forgettable i can't remember what happened. The baby was a waste of time.

I agree, a newly met father and song saving an invisible baby and the son realizing his father is remorseful and fallible too and them coming to understand each other better as family was a pointless waste of time.

Yukako is cool because Love Deluxe is the running for the best Stand name, I just wish she did more than have all her plots be centered around her love life.

e: Love Deluxe is super powerful Stand honestly. It's bound to Yukako's hair turning it prehensile and not reflective of her physical strength, it can't be cut and none of the damage is transferred back to her and she could probably control to style her hair however she wants if she cared. A Very Good Stand imo, I'm glad Love Love Deluxe is getting a Round 2 with Kaera.
