Nevermind, I'm an idiot and like everything else about Koichi, the anime has made it better. It looked good-ish and hearing it made a difference.

Yeah, I never liked Act 3 all that much (partially since it essentially lost functionality and its design is less interesting) but hearing it voiced has made me like it a little more.

Also for some reason when reading it I thought he was saying the words really drawn out ("Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, Biiiiiiiiiiiiiitch, etc") so him spelling it out was pretty funny.

Yeah, weirdly enough, Act 3 has even less flexibility than the other two. It makes things heavy the closer you are to them and.......................................................................welp

Its power is to change the spelling of a word and then inflict that effect on something. Like most JoJo stands, the scope of its power is barely shown and could realistically be used to be stupidly overpowered.

Like, there's nothing to really suggest that he can't say "I've changed bread to dead, so if there's any bread in your stomach, it will kill you" or whatever.

Even outside that, it doesn't really have less flexibility because it's a further power upon that what's already been established and he can use the other two forms at will, so it's adding to Echoes' existing flexibility as a whole.

Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?

3 Freeze was all Koichi really ever needed to use from then on, honestly. Araki never really explored exactly what Act 3 could do because there's just so much you can do with that kind of wordplay.

It makes puns come true, though it only ever gets used for that one thing. Which sucks, it has such a range, but something had to make room for Rohan punching a child.

It's detached from the hand, not the hand itself.

Kind of interesting how Kira has a fetish for hands and that the ability tied to his own hand can't transmit damage.

Now that I think about it, Johnny's fetish for bug bites also includes the itchiness from them, right? his Stand is to give power to the fingernails you use to scratch.

Do fetishes increase your abilities in JoJo??

I can't wait until next friday, next episode is basically non-stop Kira getting owned(Some loving brat got your name/Nice watch/Stay where you are, rear end in a top hat).

Then he literally steals a man's face and explodes a beautician, but still.

I love that Kira gets utterly just destroyed, one failure after another in SHA, yet somehow he still wins the fight. Exploding Jotaro and punching a hole through Koichi don't mean anything in the end, Josuke and Okuyasu still arrive to kick his rear end. It's only through cutting off his hand and setting SHA free and just crawling away. Even then, it's all easily counterable, SHA is still frozen, Josuke returns his hand to him, but even though it's only through luck of the right people being in the right place at the right time, Kira is still able to walk from all of that, perfectly fine and the heroes are back to square one.

There are so many "the villain gets away from being cornered halfway through the story" moments, but SHA is real dynamic and it gives us the Kosaku Kira Tries To Be A Dad scenes which are some of the best scenes in Part 4 imo

Re-reading Sheer Heart Attack and I had completely forgot the part where Kira gets accosted by some punks trying to retrieve Sheer Heart Attack and he blows off one of their fingers by turning his wallet into a bomb when they try to rob him, good poo poo

and then he stumbles up to Koichi and instantly starts talking about how he doesn't want a gym membership cause he'd have to touch weights that other people touched with the same hands they use to masturbate. And then he casually reveals he knows where Josuke, Okuyasu and Yukako live

e: And then Kira has a spare minute before Josuke and Okuyasu get there so he just fucks with Koichi before erasing him, rubbing his head into the pavement, the whole "Do you have a tissue? Nosebleeds make a big mess, I thought you might need one" bit, all because Koichi damaged Kira's ego and shamed his quiet life. This poo poo rules

That's also why the "ha ha got your name fucker" thing rules since it's just Koichi completely punching a hole through Kira's already-vulnerable-from-this-bullshit ego.

i definitely do feel like they're either going to end at it being revealed that kira's stolen an identity or the crew running into the crowd afterward and yelling about kira. probably the latter, because it's a good stopping point. they got through chapter 1 of SHA at the end of quiet life part 2 and 5 more chapters in this week's episode, so that leaves 5 more for next week's to round it off

if there's any doubt about time i can see them doing rolling credits at the end as the truth is revealed. would be a good time for it.
