I never got the sense that Speedwagon actually had a thing for Erina, that was just Joseph being obnoxious.

Me neither, but the possibility was always there as they both lost someone incredibly important to each other. It feels more like they both recognized it was an option, but decided not to out of respect for Jonathan.

I mean, the only thing I'm getting from this is that they were two people that were single at the same time. That doesn't really equate him to Mountain Tim.

Speedwagon is very cool while Mountain Tim is not that cool. So I don't think they are all that similar.

Anyone know where some good places to start looking for Kosaku Kawajiri Kira's wardrobe would be? Got a convention coming up in 2 months and I think I might be able to pull that off reasonably

Of the parts of JoJo that immediately come to mind to me as things I dislike, I'd say Yo-Yo Ma, Dragon's Dream and Superfly. I don't really know why I dislike Superfly though, it's got some really great panels and moments but it just doesn't resonate with me too much.

I don't know how I forgot to mention it then, maybe because it was so prevalent in my mind but the Boom Boom family. I hate that arc.

I'm pretty drat annoyed by the Cinderella stuff on like every reread of Part 4 I've done, it's the only part of Part 4 I actively don't want to read.

I also remember liking the Boom Boom family, their Stand was loving named Tomb of the Boom holy poo poo, but I'm not sure how much of that was excitement over Part 7's first Stand battle (it was, right?) Also I've had to be reminded about Cinderella multiple times in this thread and that sucks for a Stand that takes your face off. I also can't remember a single thing from Superfly except the calluses panel was gross

I get that Cinderella's only there to set up for Kira's escape for the immediate next arc, but goddamn if it isn't stupid seeing Koichi want to earnestly give his stalker another shot, mystical bullshit or not, even after the poo poo he put him through.

I also don't like that Aya Tsuji just sort of feels like a backdrop in what is supposed to be her introductory chapter, like god drat.

Yukako and Koichi's relationship is hands down the thing I hate most about Part 4. Yukako is extremely codependent and manipulative, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth that all of that gets treated like water under the bridge. But then Stroheim committed genocide and he became sort of maybe a good guy, so I guess I can't take it too seriously.

Maybe it just hits me harder because I was in a long relationship with someone like Yukako in a lot of ways, and it was awful. But in the other cases, those people had a moment of redemption, whereas Yukako never really stopped obsessing over Koichi and eventually gets what she wanted anyway. Rohan is without sin.

Yukako's also a one-off character brought back well after she had vanished from the story like Tamami and Hazamada did and unlike those two who had small appearances to lead to into a new stand user, Yukako gets an entire storyline dedicated to her and Koichi being the worst

Tamami is also partially responsible for why Rohan's house burns down.

I'm fine with Yukako and Koichi because your friend getting into a relationship that's a loving terrible idea but putting up with it because she's hot and you not really doing anything about it are part of the quintessential high school experience in my mind.

People always compare DiU to a slice-of-life but it seems a bit more like Buffy or X-Files to me. It starts out with really short arcs putting familiar characters up against new ones who are usually only there for a cup of coffee, but over time everything converges in on a central story.

I guess it's partially because Koichi was attracted to Yukako before her whole freakout, but yeah, Cinderella or no, they got together waaaay too easily. Also, I'm re-reading Let's Go Eat Italian, and I love how Josuke's reaction to Okuyasu clawing the flesh off of his shoulder is to make a handball out of his dead skin. On a related note, I'm glad I wasn't eating while reading this.

Yeah, if the relationship was mentioned in later parts as something that continued (like Jotaro carrying a wedding invitation in Part 6 or something) then that'd be hosed up, but as it stands it's Koichi deciding that he can probably handle the crazy to get on with the hot chick while they're in high school, they probably broke up before Koichi goes to Italy even.
