It's not a ghost, but probably a 'living corpse'. The 'living dead' with a hell of a lot of bloodlust...
The Sun was strange because it was one of the shorter chapters and it would take all of like 5 minutes to read, but they somehow made it into an entire episode.

P.S. I love how much more variety in episodes and content there is in Part 3 compared to Parts 1 and 2. I'm glad they moved the focus away from Hamon to Stands.

LMAO the Sun episode ended really abruptly, that was great.

One of the best episodes in the series so far next to the Hanged Man two-parter. Great unique mood, cool visuals, interesting "fight", loved the humor.

There are people who adamantly think fights like the Sun should have been cut as they add nothing to progress the overall goal and are bad filler so I'm just so glad to hear this

To be fair, he wrote that when he was under the effects of an enemy Stand as a desperate reminder as he was forcefed eyeballs. It was him pointing and screaming at it while attacking the baby that made him look like a crazy person.

I dunno, as good as they were, the Death 13 episodes kind of annoyed me if only for how stupid the rest of the Crusaders were about the whole thing. Ever since they left Japan, they kept going on and on about how they had to be prepared for anything and how DIO has assassins and spies everywhere and with all the weird-rear end ways they've been attacked and nearly killed... oh, Kakyoin's raving about how this baby that was randomly thrust into our care out of nowhere is secretly a Stand user who's trying to Friday the 13th Nightmare on Elm Street us? Clearly the strain is getting to him, poor kid. We should restrain him so he doesn't hurt himself even more. :downs:

Orangutans are smarter than babies, which are puny and weak and have no fighting spirit.
Maybe they just figured that if Holly couldn't handle a stand a baby definitely wouldn't be able to.

One of my favorite bits in those two episodes is how the Crusaders test to see if the airplane was an enemy stand.

There's a convoluted theory about Mannish Boy I saw on another site (spoilers for something later in Part 3): Assuming Alessi can choose whether or not to affect the minds of someone he de-ages, he could have de-aged an adult already working for Dio. The main problem with this theory is Mannish Boy calling himself a genius, implying he's always been a baby.

More likely, Dio or Enya just shot a baby with the Arrow, guided by ~fate~. Although there's a problem with this theory too, which is raised by something from later in Part 4.

Wasn't the sword actually explained? Dio found Anubis in a museum, and impressed him by showing off The World or something like that. Pet Shop was probably trained as a guard bird before being shot with the Arrow.

Yeah, even though I could guess the Monkey's Paw-style Stand gimmick from a mile a way, it was still a hosed up but cool episode.

They really should have called this Part Polnareff's Bizarre Adventures: Silver Chariot Crusaders. Not like I'm complaining, though. :v:

Avdol and Polnareff kissing pissing down Cameo's breathing pipe was hilarious. Also, I totally got punked along with Polnareff. Well done.

Also, um... Nice racist caricature with Cameo after he was burned? Yikes.

Remember the Rubber Soul incident and how Jotaro watched his boon companion break a dude's spine and eat bugs and thought "yes this is totally normal for my boy Kak"

either Kakyoin has a history of doing really strange bullshit offscreen or the Crusaders are kind of weird assholes.

(the answer is both)
