If it's explained at some future point don't spoil me but I don't really understand how beating DIO saved Holly because I assumed his dying would remove all of the Joestar Stands which is what would save her.

It literally just works because Araki Says So. It's Dio's fault the Joestars have stands, so killing him will stop the bad stands but leave the good stands because plot.

They mentioned DIO and his brain cells this arc so fingers crossed he'll be back at some point to crotch thrust and sneer.

DIO's evil was flowing through the connection the joestar line has with Jonathan. As a defense mechanism, their stands awoke, but since she couldn't control her stand, Weezer, it was killing her, and she never learned to activate it manually.

Yeah, Holly was not enough of an rear end in a top hat to support a Stand, so presumably it either went into abeyance or vanished once the ~SONO CHI NO SADAME~ ended. I wonder if she can see Star Platinum now though.

She was able to see it before her Stand manifested, so I imagine so.

Well he is in grad school right now, attitude aside he's clearly committed to bettering himself in conventional ways. (technically spoilers but super inconsequential so gently caress it)

i dunno about this thread exactly, but there's definitely been people around the internet wondering where the main villain is. which i guess makes sense, since part 3 starts off with it basically right away and the previous parts are short as hell anyways.

My favorite part about part 4 so far is just how everyone is just doing their own things. The way you see random side characters recognizing one another, and some people are just using stands to do their own thing is really cool. I like that so far there isn't some giant cataclysmic event or world-ending evil, it's just dudes with super powered punchghosts being selfish assholes.

Even Avdol, whose stand->rear end in a top hat factor is a self-fulfilling loop, where in order to use his Stand for almost any purpose, he needs to be enough of an rear end in a top hat to be willing to light a dude on fire in a street brawl.

Even Koichi isn't much of an exception, as his stand's growth in power is concurrent with his change from a passive observer (or victim) into an active participant. So far, every time Koichi has make a deliberate choice to engage in conflict, his stand has evolved.

I don't buy this. There's no question if Jonathan had ever been given the opportunity to develop a Stand he'd have mastered the hell out of it despite being the most profoundly decent and good person in the series, as he clearly still has fighting spirit and determination in buckets. It's true Koichi's Stand develops as he becomes a more active participant in conflict but his actions never become malicious or violent; even when he's attacked by Yukako he actively goes out of his way to save her in a situation where Part 3 Jotaro would have happily let her fall to her death. The ability to manifest and control Stands doesn't come from being a prick, it comes from 「Determination」

It's not about being an arsehole, it's 100% about having fighting spirit (no pun). The adult Jonathan is too much of a goody two shoes by Araki's own admission, but the anime glosses over him being a bit of a little poo poo growing up. Josuke straight up spells it out about Koichi at the end of the Keicho fight. Koichi is soft as poo poo but he will jump headfirst in if he has to to help his friends, which is where his fighting spirit comes into it.

I see they've gone full on with the bizarre choke filters now but it works. They removed all the lines from Jotaro's face making him look way younger.

It's not just assertiveness or aggression (or even confidence), but knowing what you want and pursuing it. (At the risk of being That rear end in a top hat who compares Part 4 with Persona 4, note that no one in Jojo's is ever in denial about their shadow. Good or bad, they all fully accept this aspect of themselves.) You're right that it's not truthful just to truncate that as being an rear end in a top hat.

I aint sayin' many if any here do it, but the JoJo fandom always seems to forget that even the nicer characters in the series have moments where they're total asses because it doesn't fit their "haha cinnyman roll ecksdee" narrative that they're all perfect or whatever and that those points are valuable as character building so they're not just flat and boring.

The puppy also had the same stomach issues, so it was probably best to make sure it worked on the dog before trying it on a potential repeat customer.

Feeding body-horror regeneration food to somebody without warning them in advance is kinda a hosed up thing to do. Okuyasu didn't really seem to become cognizant of the effects until his teeth went shooting out of his mouth, but still. Maybe don't feed somebody a piece of lamb that makes their guts explode out of their body, even if those guts, by design, get fixed up and sucked back in afterwards.
