Kira is an incredibly entertaining villain. I'm weird sucker for villains with a good social reputation or Horrible Villain Who Manages To Blend In Perfectly With Society and Kira is on some good Patrick Bateman bullshit. Just a terrible monster who needs to be stopped, but is somehow warped enough to walk the line and be able to exist perfectly in society until the pressure becomes too much

Devil Ed posted:I don't understand why people like Kira so much, and this episode just pushes him even more into unlikable weirdo for me That's the entire point you dense motherfucker! I'm sorry, that was rude. But the point of why people like Kira over Kars is that he's so very easy to hate. And you root for every misfortune that befalls him because he's such a monster.

Kira's got a much more grounded personality compared to the guys before him. His goals are simple and he's actively in the underdog role in like, everything up until the very end (where he stops giving a gently caress about everything). They also never really make you try and sympathize with him so it's just fun seeing him fail.

no they will not posted:The entire latter half of DiU wouldn't have happened if josuke and okuyasu weren't such liars  Devil Ed posted:I don't understand why people like Kira so much, and this episode just pushes him even more into unlikable weirdo for me He's actually not one of my favorite villains  I like Sailor Kira a million times more. But he's still fun so I've been looking forward to it.Can Of Worms posted:The pacing and storytelling for the chapter was pretty abrupt, I wonder if Araki decided to fastforward to whatever he's got lined up next? It did read like something he wrapped up faster than he wanted to, but I doubt he intended to spin it out for three months. I'm sure he just figured it'd be simpler to put out there and realized as he was working that he'd have to really shove stuff together? It was still a great story and all, but I agree that it was a little rushed at the end.

Neato posted:I've been between watching the anime as it airs and lurking this thread, and finally ended up reading the manga, and i'm hooked. Im at the alien guy chapter right now, and its probably the weirdest thing i've seen so far in part 4. i also liked how Araki felt it was necessary to have Rohan and the kid inexplicably flying through the air to make rock paper scissors more exciting. Highway Star is the arc right after and I think its my favorite in all of Jojo. Youre in for a treat.

I'm not sure what's worse, people losing it over Killer Queen looking off for like three seconds or people losing it over "Deadly Queen" cause like what the gently caress did you think would happen?

Stuff like Captain Dragon and Billie Jean were not choices made by Viz or Araki. Those were names Crunchy made up.
