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

So that's 1 episode for Kira's dad, 1 chapter for Rohan to get owned, then own a kid at RPS and 1 chapter for Rohan to get owned at dice before 2 for Highway Star? I'm down with that.

RPS Kid has Yoshikage Kira's New Face bookending it so I'm interested to see what happens with that. I'd like em to be part of Atom Heart Father just cause its more fitting

Which episode should we expect the new OP on? 26? 27?

iirc, RPS kid is quite a few chapters. But because it's fast paced, I can easily see it working in a single episode. I can't wait for this, it's loving great.

Also, hype for the entire budget being blown on Highway Star.

If I remember right, we see Kira "coming home' and meeting Shinobu for the first time after Atom Heart Father, then immediately after RPS Kid, we have another Kawajiri chapter, so I think those bits will probably cap off those two episodes.

what episode we get the new OP on is entirely dependent on if they're going to play the OP on episode 27. that's rohan's house getting burned down, so i dunno. if they're going to push mikitaka and the dice game into one episode then they might cut for more time.

yeah actually they will

they're going to keep the dice game but cut mikitaka for time

yeah actually they will

this is basically all the protagonist stands sans Star Platinum, and Giorno's is probably the weirdest with it's life punch nonsense or whatever, it seems like Araki couldn't really figure out what to do with it. It's the epitome of the part 5 theme of Great Ideas That Kind Of Go Nowhere

ironically it would probably work super-well as a villain of the week stand

I've read Vento up to where the good scans are for now and Giorno's ability has the broadest application of any stand in the series which turns reading fights into "well Gio is gonna do some bullshit so it's ok"

- Can transform anything freely between inorganic matter, living things and body parts. Sometimes these reflect damge
- Can directly punch life into someone, loving up their sensory reception if he wants to

It never feels really interesting like applications for Crazy Diamond or Stone Free either so I'm not really high on this part so far. Supporting cast is pretty good but seems like they always need Gio for the bail out.

So I'm looking to get a nice Jojo coffee table art book because I love the art. Is there anything made more recently (or more cheaply) than Jojo A-Go! Go!? It's only 120 pages and people are asking for $70+ on ebay and amazon so I was hoping there might be a meatier or cheaper art book.

Other than their initial use, I don't think Giorno ever uses the life punching or rebounding aspects of his stand ever again. He's pretty consistent on making plants and animals that return to their owners after the first couple fights.

Removing a "quality" is broad problem solver too but the hows and whys are more interesting and it feels more consistent, just like Crazy Diamond and Stone Free. Also it gets contrasted more with stuff like Yasuho & Tsurugi teamup or Joshuu's Excellent Adventure

So it's the precursor to Whitesnake/D4C in the sense that Araki never fully thought it out to begin with, explains stuff

I was discussing Gold Experience with someone a few days ago, and we came to the conclusion that the Ripple is a good comparison because it sure feels like most of its applications are "does this thing all of Once Ever that is never brought up or considered ever again".

Well, for all we know, whenever he Mudas someone to death, they probably still are experiencing extreme time slowdown or enhanced pain or what-have-you. It isn't really brought up but that doesn't mean it just goes away.

The rebounding damage thing is pretty OP for a protag, and it's a weekly thing, so I can understand Araki just phasing that out, but it does actually come up again in the Buccellati fight.

Also Josuke is generally a lot more subtle/clever about it. He wins a fight by stealing the sound of a refrigerator door, that rules.

I mean S&W is clearly bullshit but it seems to be just limited enough to give fights tension.

The Crazy Diamond/Soft & Wet comparison is good because Gold Experience really feels like "okay what if I tried to do something as broad 'Can Return Things To It's Previous State/Can Steal The Qualities Of Other Things" BUT I was bad at writing instead very good at it"

like Crazy D and Gold E are the polar opposite of Stands I Love To See Do Stuff
