Diego's World just really reads like Araki needed to extend SBR a little, for whatever reason, so he added it onto the end. He knew, rightly, that people would freak out if Diego used the World and that would probably carry a lot on its own. Some of it drawn kinda poorly and SBR World looks kind of terrible for a lot of its appearances. Part of that is why I think that if you cut it entirely, SBR doesn't get affected majorly at all. He can write another way for the corpse to find its home in the bunker and for Johnny to not finish the race and what not.

Diego's World actually added a lot to SBR, since it's both an illustration of what Valentine's plan would've ended up being (insane god-king rules USA) and where Johnny's Dark Determination would've led him if not for his friends.

It's a perfect way to end SBR.

Also consider how Valentine offered to bring back Gyro. Diego from another world shows what would have happened had Johnny accepted.

They skipped Toyohiro bleeding on Josuke and making him fall off the tower entirely, so no Josuke using CD to punch himself back into the tower.

It means a pretty iconic set of Josuke/CD panels is gone.

I've kept mum because I'm a minority opinion but I've privately been kinda annoyed that they combined three arcs here.

They're adding parts elsewhere though.

Nah, it's just as he's about the reveal the gun. So it's a "What's in the paper" cliffhanger. It's loving great.

Awww booooooo!

Josuke flipping the blank paper around only to see a gun pointed at him, firing and Josuke collapsing to the sidewalk as Yuya just looks on across the street is prob my favorite out of context JoJo, it's so so stupid and so so good.

I mean he catches the bullet it's fine, but Who Shot Josuke

They probably avoided that part cause of the weird mask thing, dunno how they would've animated that with last week's model.

Superfly is generally pretty weak as a whole. The Okuyasu and Josuke deciding to wreck it is cool and it has neat bits like basically all JoJo things ever, but it's not the best thing in DiU by a long shot.

Superfly is a fun fight but it's definitely one of the weaker fights in Part 4, especially compared to Cheap Trick and Enigma. I can't wait for Rohan to send a stand to hell

smart move of Araki to remind the audience of the ghost hands the fight before Kira gets dragged to hell by them

also I was really not feeling Cheap Trick in the manga, especially coming right before Bites The Dust, but I'm very into Rohan's "well now I HAVE to see his back". Enigma always owned
