I never really got the feeling that Okuyasu was particularly stupid despite him and everyone saying so. I kinda felt the same for Dio being 「CHARISMATIC」.
Then again, why couldn't Okuyasu erase his dad?

I don't think Okuyasu wanted his dad to die like his brother did.

They want to kill him, not erase him. You can argue they are the same thing, but I think the idea is to have a body left to confirm dead

Okuyasu isnt as dumb as his bro has drilled into his skull for his whole life, nut okuyasu lacks some forethought, generally opting for his big bro to make decisions for him because surely he knows what is best. It's learned helplessness.

Usually what gets okuyasu into trouble is his lack of forethought, and in jojo, not having the ability to do some short term thinking ahead can be a death sentence

DIO is charismatic as gently caress. Like, in real life terms.
Who the gently caress would like DIO if he wasn't DIO? DIO is so charismatic that he's real life charismatic.

Okuyasu is just hot headed and doesn't like to think things through 100%. There are examples throughout DiU where he proves witty and comes up with the right solution.

Okuyasu couldn't erase his dad even with his abusive and controlling brother around, I really don't think he has it in him to do now it now.

Also the only people who call Okuyasu stupid are really just him and his brother. Josuke and Koichi see he's a goofy dude who can be a bit hot headed at times.

Give me your friend's BURGERS and SANDWICHES, I'll put out the fire.

The stress of taking care of Holly caused Kira to develop a tendency to collect his nail clippings in a jar and journal them, kidnap men and women off the street and force them into weird bondage/cannibalistic porn, an odd fetishist fixation to his own hands and an interest in underground exotic fruit trade.

The kidnapping and bondage stuff was that surfer dude framing Kira. The rest is just him being a bit weird but harmless.

Really though a lot of that early Kira stuff is probably just... Not relevant somehow. Like the Kira we're seeing now doesn't quite match up.

I get the impression it was all a red herring, basically. Recent information about Kira knowing about Rock humans kind of re-contextualises the finger eating thing a little. The fingernails and hand obsession, as well as the name are obviously there to make an association with Part 4 Kira in the reader's mind, to plant doubt, even though Jojolion Kira is obviously a stand-up dude.

This what was brought up last time, but I also wonder if Kira wasn't somehow aware of Sasame's crazy insane bullshit.

This Kira does basically seem like a stand up dude, so I could absolutely see him realizing that Sasame is torturing women and being a piece of poo poo, going 'well no Court can convict him for having a stand... I'll just have to fix this myself.'

Then you can have an argument about Vigilantism but it ain't like Sasame didn't deserve it.

Karera shows off a photo of her, Kira and Josefumi and told Josuke that she and Josefumi were really close. According to the flashback, they never really had much interaction, Kira didn't even know her, and Josefumi only really noticed that she looked kinda cute not very long before Kira died.

So basically it's the post-SBR version of Jotaro's "I'll judge you myself" bit? :v:

Well, Kira in jojolion is also kind of this univere's equivalent of Jotaro. A Stand gets to hide from the law and consequences.

On the other hand it's not unheard of for one person to think that they're really close to somebody when that person considers them as more of an aquaintance. Or it might just be that Araki Forgot again.
