Mrs Robinson wasn't a stand user.

Also, yeah. These guys aren't the most fleshed out dudes in the world. They come right at the end of the story too. So unlike pretty much every other stand user in part 4 they never get a 2nd appearance after their initial chapters

The electrical tower guy at least gets character development at the end of his fight, albeit rather abruptly, and Enigma's user being remaining enigmatic was probably deliberate. Cheap Trick's user was basically just there to die immediately, although he's still more fleshed out than Carne (the other example of a Stand user who's only there to die to unleash his Stand); I like that Rohan realizes that there must be some way to cross the street without one's back being seen because the original user of Cheap Trick found a way.

i feel like their implementation works well enough for what's going on in the story. the anime will probably handle it better overall as far as depicting the timing goes, but it's very much kind of like a final rush of enemies sent by kira's dad in a desperate bid to stop them

and they're definitely on kira's trail or getting there, because rohan is picking up on hayato's snooping which leads to some of the major events in bites the dust

Araki brought Jojo's into this world, should he so choose, he can take it out.

「JoJo's Bizzare Adventure」 is an automatic stand, even if Araki dies it will continue to exist.

No Dignity
Oct 15, 2007

All japing aside I'd like it if Araki chooses a good place to end and ends when he decides to retire, rather than dragging his series out forever in a technically still-ongoing state of franchise undeath like the Berzerk guy. I doubt we're going to get more than one more complete part out of him in any case.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure will last until 2187 and I'm gonna be so mad when, he realizes that he could give the Stands personalities and inclinations of how they act on their own, six decades after I've died.

I think someone said this way long ago in the thread, but I can't imagine what's worse: dying before you can read all of JoJo, or living in a world where there will never be new JoJo.

like I really want to sink my teeth deeper into stuff like Berserk and the HxH manga, but then I think about how there's no end in sight and the frequent hiatuses and oooooooooof. we are truly blessed that Araki didn't draw while laying on his tummy years ago and now only takes a break maybe once or twice a year

Togashi has the two-fold problem of 1) drawing on his stomach for years like an idiot and 2) being really loving lazy.

That's true, but I felt like we were going to learn more about him and maybe he'd be an uneasy ally during the race or something. He just kind of disappears outside of a scant few appearances, which seemed weird for a character who was shown so prominently at the beginning. But hey, that fortune teller was right!

Speaking of characters that I thought would have a bigger significance in SBR, what about not-Avdol who fell into a cactus or something in like the second chapter?
