Surely if they're going to squeeze it in two episodes, no opening or credits? I'm okay with relegating the first half to the B Team so that Act 3 and Jotaro's beatdown get the David Pro love they deserve

Isn't this the kill late on where he barges in all fab as gently caress in that cool as gently caress panel?

This one



I was sure it was before the change because after, he's dealing with a 'wife' to keep around hands.

Anyway, with the way stand battles work, I kinda loosely believe the entire second half from the discovery of the hand in the sandwich bag to the very end is one long, drawn out and multifaceted stand battle.

I think I need to find a good Kira avatar now, that ep was just too good. Anyone have any suggestions on what to use? I'd prefer Bowie Kira, since he's really "the" Kira when you think of the character.

Speaking of which, it's kind of strange that Bowie Kira is barely even around. I remember the order of events, but it just seems like he was more present in his original form.

I've also been considering trading down my Yasuho for my sweet boy, Kira. If you can get it in the requirements, the opening shot of Kira with Killer Queen ( Spooky Skull Variant) would always be cool

e: gently caress I totally forgot we're gonna get the "doesn't matter cause I'm about to break it...your face that is" scene

I'm not sure why (besides "Araki forgot") he doesn't know what Stands are when his father, a Stand user, gave him his Stand by shooting him with the Arrow in the first place.

Why would he expect anybody else in the city to have a stand, let alone enough people that he has to actually fear for being caught

Didn't his dad get the Arrow from Enya?

By the way, do they ever say who originally came up with the term Stand? I'm guessing Diavolo. Although you'd think Diavolo would have used an Italian word instead of an English one. So Enya, maybe?

Mista literally calls out his bullets in English, I would not think too hard about this stuff other than Araki never planned to have an Italian dude be the furthest back knowledge of stands go.

To be fair, Stands predate Diavolo, since not all Stands come from the Arrows. Didn't Anubis claim to be 500?

Sheer Heart Attack's ASB voice is closer to that and it's really great, but I also like this intimidating deeper take on Kira's voice for it.

Kira's "dame dame dame dame dame dameeee" was perfect so "My Sheer Heart Attack.....has no weakness" is gonna ooooown

My favorite moment of that fight is when Koichi actually wins decisively psychologically by forcing Kira to confront the fact that he isn't as smart as he thinks he is.





EDIT: and then Jotaro makes fun of his watch and beats the poo poo out of him. What a great fight.

Isn't the next page Kira just donut punching Koichi? Sheer Heart Attack rules

Kira is pretty smart, but it is like, just not as smart as he thinks he is. That leading to running his mouth to Josuke which reveals that he knows about Stands and is prooobably the enemy Stand User and his neurosis like having to fix Koichi's sock is what really puts him over the barrel, but he's still just smart/determined enough to get away by chopping off the Sheer Heart Attack hand and grabbing a dude who is his exact height while hauling rear end.
