Part 4 and 5 were very important. All of my friends from Part 4 and 5 are alive and having a good time after Part 6. Also, Pucci is better than Diavolo, but King Crimson still owns because of anger. Pucci is powerful.

Yeah, imo it works really well all the way up through the end because it does such a good job of representing Jolyne's attempt to keep on truckin and Pucci's attempts to fulfill God/Dio's will, and then at the end it switches over to Pucci getting cut down by his own fate

I enjoyed Pucci's machinations, despite usually involving some degree of nonsense. loving around the Prison, being a dick, manipulating people, I enjoyed it. I don't think he's the best but I enjoyed him as a villain more than Diavolo and Kars.

Honestly the thing that bothers me most about pucci is his hair

wtf is going on with his eyebrows

Also, remember that time pucci slammed that marilyn manson debt collector chick's head into the corner of his desk for trying to steal from him? That was pretty brutal.

Because eight, yes, eight new chapters of Vento Aureo just went up on Batoto. Click on sexy King Crimson to read them now:


And also, this week's mistranslation highlight:

In the old translation, this map of Venice, Italy was incorrectly labeled with several landmarks from Vienna, Austria.

Isn't the subsequent confusion and disorientation for everyone else the only thing "erasing time" actually does? Just confuses and disorients people, while he can use Epitaph's predictio- forecast to simultaneously avoid pitfalls. All that stuff about actions vs. results seem now like they were just metaphor and flowery language.

Is it really that simple?

Yeah

Just remember that Epitaph itself lets King Crimson forecast without having to erase time. He did the same thing to Bruno causing Bruno to attack what he thought was the boss, but was actually just himself in the future, having moved to that spot due to the self-fulfilling prophecy of attempting to punch himself.


e: I really like just how much Diavolo is the inverse of Dio. Not just in name or with the stairwell polnareff bit, but also with the fact that with Dio, the Crusaders knew where he was and were trying to get to him while also trying to figure out what his stand power is, while with King Crimson and Diavolo, the Gang Stars know what his stand does and are actively running away and trying to escape from him while trying to figure out his identity.

It's just, it's hilarious to me that so much confusion and weird interpretations of "it erases the cause but not the effect" have all been simply because the original translators took metaphor literally.

It's like if, I dunno, people thought DIO'S World was an alternate world/reality that DIO could create and then superimpose back onto reality

People can still argue that erasing the time of death is what caused Bruno to be able to stick around as long as he did, but in actuality as neat of an idea as that is, it is far more likely that Bruno stuck around because Giorno punched the life back into him so his soul was stuck in a weird in-between world like what Reimi was going through

I think the best thing is that they didn't try translating them at all, they just guessed using wikipedia. They still didn't get within 600 kilometers of the right ones. "Some inaccuracies" indeed

I prefer to think that Bruno stuck around so long because he still had poo poo to do and wasn't gonna let a little thing like dying stop him.
