it's kind of a bummer how the character in this part of the part gets killed right after being introduced.

The OP really sort of plays up him being there, too.

I wonder if they'll remove him after he dies :v:

I'm really looking forward to Jotaro beating the crap out of Kira because

a) Kira really, really deserves it

b) It's nice to see Jotaro still has it

It'll be a good callback to the Steely Dan beatdown and I can already picture the Stardust Crusaders outro when he smiles at Koichi and passes out.

For being offed so quickly, Shigechi is an incredibly iconic cast member. His importance is definitely greater than his screentime.

Shigechi is cuter than I remember him being.

I can't believe Josuke and Okuyasu are corrupting this poor child with the evil influence of money. :(

Araki seemed to experiment with what a human can look like in part 4-6, with a lot of the more beautiful designs sticking and the other more experimental designs ending up like uhhh

Shigechi isn't as bad as radio tower dude tho imo, that dude started off fine and then got all weird looking. RPS kid looks real weird too tho that might be because of the giant hole in his face.

I think Shigechi is in this weird design place where he's designed to be ugly, but in a cute way? Like early design Iggy, or pugs. I really don't get the hate for him or even people sincerely saying that he's ugly since he doesn't look that bad. He's weird-looking and annoying but that's about it.

It's the snot-trails that kinda make him unattractive and he's definitely annoying, but he's "I'm a kid who seems to have cognitive issues" annoying so eh.

Anyway, today's episode was really great and actually seeing Harvest made me appreciate that Stand a bit more.

I can get behind UglyCute, but Shigechi doesn't even do that, I just don't like his design. The anime made him smaller, fixed his weird cheekbones things so he's a lot better and it's hard to smile when he talks about how he made sure to ask the police if what he was doing was wrong and makes sure not to leave Morioh alone cause he might get lost or kidnapped :3: IIRC,some later parts of Harvest feel a little weird because of Josuke and Okuyasu's aggression and readiness to throw down towards a kid who doesn't seem all there.

But I also like that before his death, Kira was doing everything he could to prevent killing him until Shigechi forced him into a corner because of his (understandable) nature of that's MINE. Obviously Kira is an awful person for killing a child, but I like the situation is at least a bit more nuanced than Man Hunts And Murders Child To Get A Bag Back

It feels like it's more than the Higashikatas that do it and it really bugs me to, to the point where even if it's faithful to the original I would much have preferred that to have been taken out of the translation.

Agreed. It is kinda terrifying that Jotaro's dadjokes are powerful enough to turn a young girl into what's basically The Terminator.

It completely breaks the flow of the dialogue for me. Try reading a few pages where they do that and pretending it's not there, it reads much better.

Not sure Kira wants a Quiet Life will be a one parter. It's 6 chapters if you include People of Morioh.

They can pretty easily put that in the start of Cinderella, which will probably run 2 with that.

People of Morioh ends with "Shigechi: Dead" and Kira looking at his next victim, it just gels better that way.

My initial thought was that the end of Harvest would include like Kira getting his sandwich, but Part 1 only covered 3/7 chapters so it prooobably won't, tho the first half of Harvest is more dialogue heavy than the latter half.

It feels weird to do a two parter for a five chapter arc + an epilogue, but it would help line up Sheer Heart Attack to be the second cour finale


I MIGHT be okay with Shigechi's death being three weeks away if Part 1 ends Killer Queen appearing and Kira's "I'll erase you."
