It's more like they made jokes about it, that doesn't mean they actually condone murder.

You know Woolie didn't actually murder a guy, right?

The thing about the Jojo game plot that gets me is that they talk about the fact that Dio's body is already destroyed in this world... While the characters are in the 1930's era. It doesn't occur to the characters in the game, or even Woolie or Pat, that there is a Dio corpse sitting on the bottom of the ocean right now

Because they didn't model a stage where DIO is being scavenged. And it's not like he was dead, the second they pull him up he escapes and now the game has another loving Dio.

And AoT may be slow paced but they at least didn't spend 9 years on a boat. And then immediately go back on (an admittedly shorter) hiatus once they got off.

Dio detached his head from his body because Jonathan punched a ton of Hamon into it. I doubt there's any body left.

Also, that was back when they fought in that manor Dio was using as a base.

What they should be asking is if throwing Jonathan at Dio, Out to Lunch would destroy most of him and all of the other Joestars excluding Gappy and Johnny.

I mean, yeah, that first part is the obvious reason but it's still a pretty big plothole. And they have like 30 different stand users with them right now, I'm sure they could figure out a way to subdue a standless Dio

The corpse inside the coffin is Jonathon's body, it's not just Dio's head down there.

Obviously I never expected this game to have good writing but it's just lame that the game doesn't even try to hand wave it and funny that it hasn't occurred to Woolie and Pat as of that video at least

I don't even care about them being able to defeat another Dio, it's that they would have to fight another Dio.

The game is boring enough.

I know Stardust Crusaders is the part that took off (hell, the OVAs brought me into watching/reading Jojo) but I'm not really into DIO that much as a villain. Although the big fight is way worse, he's much more interesting to me in Part 1 where he has an arc and ups and downs. I also liked Diego more for not just being a retread. The ending fight of 3 is amazing stuff, but I've enjoyed 4, 6, 7 and 8 so much for doing different stuff.

On top of it being DIO again, the stuff that's going on is pretty rote. I wish the game played with crossover ideas more. Like an entire bit where Johnny is going around getting all the healers to try and fix his legs.

Although I agree they're really strong videos, the audio sync issues really drain a lot of the entertainment out of them for me. I think they've since fixed that, though?

Pretty much. Like he's a fun villain for what he does, but guys like Kira, Pucci and Valentine just bring a lot more to their whole shticks and end up more interesting for me.

If killing DIO removes Holy's stand (b/c of the Joestar lineage) why doesn't it remove Hermit Purple and Star Platinum as well?

Because every other Joestar has the Spiritual Strength to survive and maintain their stand independent of DIO

Does it actually remove it though? I thought it just stopped it from going crazy and killing her.

It would have to remove it, unless killing DIO somehow gives Holy

... the Spiritual Strength to survive and maintain their stand...

I always thought it was a hint to the common folklore trope wherein killing the origin of the agent of a curse (e.g. the Alpha for werewolves) would cure those afflicted by said curse. Not that I mind, because more Jotaro. Maybe it's just fridge logic on my part.

He's not even good at weebing it up since the proper way to do it would be "Call it Rockman.exe!" :v:

Also he's completely wrong about Vile since X wasn't an S-class hunter from the get-go but whatever. At this point I'm sort of desensitized to Woolie getting things completely wrong. Memory's a bitch.
