I was only slightly disappointed when Kira tearing up at Koichi's thorough verbal destruction of him showed up on screen for just a split second (because in the manga you can really savor it), but I sort of forgot that Kira also turns on the waterworks when he gives himself the ol' chopparoo, which more than makes up for anything, forever :allears:

It's not exactly unheard of for a JoJo character to add unnecessary details when explaining their actions.

So is Sheer Heart Attack totally loving useless if Josuke is around, or did that only work because his hand was gone? Or did it only work because ~Araki~

I figure Kira specifically set SHA free and also cut off his hand, so SHA would either just rampage around endlessly or would eventually be killed and just destroy his severed hand. (Okuyasu, presumably, could scrape it apart even if nothing else worked.) Josuke was like "nah" about that, though.

It seems real clear that SHA is specifically linked to Kira's hand, and Kira himself might not know all the rules. Even if SHA just stomped around for a couple of minutes until Kira's severed hand finished dying (and I bet Kira knows how long THAT takes, somehow) that's still time enough for him to get the gently caress away.

I'm not clear how he knows so much about everyone. Josuke and Okuyasu, sure, but he knows about Yukako and Aya too. Maybe I was just high on goofballs during an episode, but that seems like information Kira would have had to learn, as opposed to sussing out a general "you got more buddies than the J/O brothers, don't you, Koichi?"

I'm also not a fan of how he immediately managed to suss out that Star Platinum could stop time just from being punched by it a lot.

Also SHA is totally still a problem because as we've seen with Koichi's dilemma even if you stop the bombtank, then you've still got Murderess Emperess to deal with. If nothing else, it can work as a perfectly good distraction. How long can you ignore it being behind you saying to look that way to focus the other Stand?

Eh, he just got punched incredibly fast and then went 'holy poo poo that was incredibly fast, it was like he stopped time or something'. That's not exactly a Sherlock Holmes-tier deduction.

The line I read was "he's so fast, it's like he can stop time!" which reads more like Kira being amusingly on point while he's having his poo poo pushed in. I mean, D'arby probably had a similar impression too.

The answer there really does seem to be Okuyasu, but I suspect he's going to get Avdol'd now :(

You know, Koichi's a real trooper, he survived with a hole through his abdomen for like, nearly a minute and a half or something.

I can think of some other green-uniformed schoolmates that didn't even last half that long

It still really feels like a really out there assumption to think that someone's stopping time instead of just y'know, being fast.

Like, if he was popping up on different sides of him somehow without him noticing, then yeah, I can believe that but it seems like a little too weirdly on the nose to pull out of the blue.

Idk, "He's hitting so fast, it's like he can stop time" feels like a reasonable parallel. It's not like Kira now has "Can stop time?" written in his mental file on Jotaro, just that Jotaro can punch good and fast

I saw a vine that looped/sped this up and slammed the Stardust Crusaders theme + an ORA ORA ORA over and it was very good. gently caress off Koichi

We only have 15 episodes left?

Looking at the number of story arcs we have left, are they going to be able to fit everything into 15 episodes and still have it be as good as it's been? Feels like they're going to be cutting it close to me.

If you ask me, the back third of DiU has some wild pacing problems and if they can clean it up a bit to fit it in a shorter timeframe I'm all for it.

There are around 10 named arcs left after the next episode, which is chapter 100 out of 174 in the manga so they will indeed have to fasten the pace, specially in the more "slice-of-life" episodes since there is no way in hell they are cutting a single second of the last mayor arc.
