I have no taste and will openly admit to liking both Doppio AND Diavolo, but a lot of that comes from me liking basically everything about Diavolo's design. Is he wearing a mesh shirt, or is it a tattoo? Does his hair have spots in it naturally, or did he dye those in? How come the spots go away when he turns into Doppio? Does he zig-zag his part on purpose, or does it just fall that way? How does he put on all that eyeliner as he's taking off his turtleneck? These are the real mysteries behind Vento Aureo.

Wait, really? It doesn't grant him extra luck? That's pretty funny.

One of the running themes in SBR is that in this universe there is no luck or fate that can be relied on to drive events. Valentine is fated to win, but Johnny has the power to transcend and control "gravity" so he ends up winning. This is a big departure especially after part 6 is basically all about fate and gravity and prophecies and whatnot.

So the winner of the race made his own luck, his stand just gave him the confidence to take the right actions.

Yeah, I like his design too. I also like the idea of a guy who just really really wants to erase his past to the point that the one we got for him makes no real sense.

This is also where I stand on Diavolo. He's clearly a lot of things Araki took from a fashion magazine and blended together and he looks so so silly and I wish I could pull that look off, he's great.

Yeah, Part 6 me was almost unreadable for me in black and white. There are some instances where they'll go wild with putting different words in different colors in the same speech bubble, but other than that, I usually prefer color.

JJCA just re-released all of Part 6 in color again and they've apparently been re-working on it for like a year, but I'm not sure what they changed?

I thought it was to fix some of the issues with font/ color, actually? Hmm. Stone Ocean just doesn't do a lot for me, period, so I confess that it matters less. Pucci isn't a bad villain but he's probably the least interesting to me, personally. I think I like even Diavolo more because of Doppio.

The jojolion translation is generally fine for me; he probably does need an editor but he'll never accept that help so it is what it is, I suppose. Maybe it's a tone thing? He does a great job with several other things he translates but maybe jojolion can get a little wooden at times. Don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth there, though, so that's about as much as I'll say since I appreciate his work (not that critique = lack of appreciation, of course).

I always assumed he was just having a blast with the gang over at Disney World, perhaps somehow Gold Experience Requiem could be used to cut the lines.

I just assume Giorno's RESOLVE allowed him to continue doing whatever he wants, as opposed to his half-brothers who are lacking in confidence, luck and intelligence, and were easily influenced.

Both of them also fail to actually defeat their enemies in a straight up fight, but still protect the one who does go on to finish the fight (Erina with baby Lisa Lisa and George/Emporio with the Weather Report disc)

i like part 6's ending a fair bit because in a series where the main protagonists are fated to be involved in hazardous situations and saving the world the only real way for them to escape all of that and live normal, carefree lives is for them to basically be written out of that protagonist role

Johnny's father always favored his older brother, Johnny's old pet (maybe) got his brother killed. Once Johnny finally starts to come into his own as a person, his father admits he always thought God took the wrong son, and a minor event that spiraled out while trying to actually enjoy his life with his girlfriend cost him his legs. Even after he kills the president who could transfer between dimensions, loses his best friend . gets the use of his legs back, gets his father's love, gets a lotta money, a wife, a son, he still dies next to a tree with his head caved in to protect his loved ones at age 29.

Johnny had a rough life

Jolyne also had a tough loving go of it, for sure, but she was always fighting for one thing. Johnny's life was a roller coaster of hope giving into despair, becoming almost a tragedy.
