Josuke used Crazy Diamond on it to return it to Kira's arm and they followed it to Cinderella iirc

when did Kira get a new hand anyway

Josuke punched his old hand which went back and reattached itself

Which is really convenient for Kira

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.

I completely forgot about this. drat, I'm even more excited for next week now.

I mean, what would Kira have done if Josuke hadn't fixed up his hand

Going around handless is pretty conspicuous

keep his arm in his pocket real casual like.

but nah, it looked Cinderella did some augment work on other parts of Yukako's body, so maybe she could swap hands? I'm not even entirely sure how Kira know exactly what Cinderella could do.

I know the real answer is because shut up, but he might have stumbled upon that while cruising for chicks' hands

Kira did say he would do research on stand users in town. I imagine the Italian chef who can cure all your ills and the beautifician who can change your fortune in love would be his first two guesses, so even if he didn't know Cinderella's specific ability, or if Tsuji even had a stand, she was still his best bet at the time?

Near the very end of Sheer Heart Attack, there's a bit where Kira is stumbling around Morioh, covered in blood, his tie tied around his arm to try and slow the bleeding, passing people from his work who try to help him and just trying to play it off like "man, closing time already huh? haha alright, excuse me sorry gotta go" like some real American Psycho "Oh this? Just a lot of red wine, excuse me I gotta return some videotapes" poo poo

If you're going to call Killer Queen contrived at least wait until it gets the ability to blow up anyone who a small child talks to and reset time and store a cat flower in its chest.

Bites The Dust is like the perfect power for Kira, and there's a lot of good fake outs that Kira has truly won this time so it's good.

Kira doing Stand fusion by putting a cat plant in KQ's abs is weird and funny, Kira literally has like four different forms

Josuke Higashikata

Killer Queen definitely has a bad power creep and too much utility to really be a "good" power in terms of balance in the rules presented. That's easily explained by Araki needing to keep him fresh throughout as the main antagonist stand and all of its powers blend well into the stand as a whole. The fact that Killer Queen's power creep doesn't harm the stand or make it feel cheap and that everything it does is really good speaks volumes about how good the stand is as a whole.

That even carries over to JoJolion's Killer Queen, which is really identifiable as Killer Queen, it's abilities are also very similar, but in functionality it's actually a very different stand.


I don't get why someone is insisting Kira doesn't have a time power in the anime thread though? Just ignore it if it's heresay someone has read and they're commenting on in the thread, no need to confirm or deny this kind of thing. There's no point in misdirecting someone who knows that Bites The Dust exists through osmosis or whatever, they're just going to be all "oh I was right all along and they fibbed", should they remember.

Actually that brings up something that was never really explained: who got Bites The Dust'd the first time? He got the power AFTER Hayato died so he had to have used someone else who would have remembered it and oh wait I'm getting a urgent fax

Because it's the anime thread and that's a spoiler to say 'yet'.

Then don't say anything, it's also a spoiler to those people who don't know better to straight deny it even if untrue, so the net gain is non existent.
