As an aside, Stephen King wrote a story in one of his short story collections called "Battleground," where pretty much, literally, a guy is forced to fight Bad Company. It was a pretty decent short story and made me love this Stand fight even more when I read it.

A made for TV version actually aired on TV. Someone put it up on Youtube (let me know if we can't link youtube videos with questionable legality and I'll remove it), if anyone is interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eY053duzS8

I wouldn't be surprised if this is where Araki got the inspiration for Bad Company from. Dude loves his horror. Wouldn't surprise me to find out he's a Stephen King fan.

If you want to get in Araki's good books, show him a body horror flick. Bonus points for hosed up eyes.

If Stands reflect the soul of the user, would the fact that Bad Company is essentially just a bunch of toy soldiers and vehicles indicate that Keicho is actually far more immature and childish than Okuyasu?

I would think it more represents his strategic and methodical mind. Bad Company more makes me think of miniatures you would use in a complex strategy game than a kid with a bunch of army mans.

if this is gonna be one straight cour all the way through like people say, does that mean just one OP/ED? i mean i guess that would make sense if they just continue to edit/change parts of the OP as the series progresses.

They're probably going to mix it up after a certain fight, I'd imagine, even without a break.

Its likely to be 3 or 4 cours, but if its 3 itll probably air all in a row

The blu-rays are scheduled up to 39 episodes with very little leeway for a break. The current pacing though isn't really revealing how they're going to fit DiU into 39, but David haven't done much wrong so far with JoJo, I have faith in them.

They didn't confirm Egypt until there was like a month before the break either.

It wouldn't be totally surprising to me if they announce a final cour after a break to bump that 39 up.

More over, it shows he's the kind of person who's willing to sacrifice others to achieve his goals.

Enough people died to the stand arrow for Keicho to recognize when it was happening to Koichi, and he still didn't hesitate to use it.

Season 1 was one straight shot and it had 2 openings, so I'd expect the same for DiU as events progress.

If he shoots someone with the Arrow that already has a Stand, do they get a new one or just a better version of whatever they have? I assume the latter, otherwise he'd be shooting people with problematic ones.

Clearly it would just be a normal arrow and therefore kill you as a normal arrow would.

While I appreciate this sort of question gets asked out of idle curiosity, it's exactly the sort of question you're better off not asking because it's impossible to answer. Anyone who posts in this thread either won't know (because they're new to the whole Jojo scene) or will know but shouldn't share (because that would be a spoiler, even if the answer is "Nothing happens").

Burbo and Multijoe, your posts were both kosher, but Lamebot that's exactly the sort of nose-tapping I don't like seeing. Please don't do that in the future, thanks in advance.

On a tangentially related note, since this thread seems fond of bursting into flame and going off the rails, I'm gonna start putting my foot down on folks I consider to be sloshing around big buckets of gasoline and lighting matches. It's the nature of conversation to wander and meander, that's fine, but every now and then we get a particular line of discussion or a particular poster whose presence is just gonna get the thread locked or stir up the community to no end, and that's gotta stop.

If you see somebody you strongly suspect is trying to start something, either by posting in bad faith, being weirdly aggressive, or deliberately bringing up stuff you know won't turn out well, feel free to report them and I'll deal with them as is appropriate - this is one of our more popular threads ATM so the ability to jump straight to trouble spots is something I appreciate. In the meantime, be excellent to each other.
