Changed my mind, the Zombie Horse from Part 7 is the most Magic thing in the series, I still don't understand what that was

Yeah this poo poo right here is what gets me. Just out of nowhere "hey, the king of naples put some string on a wall, go pick it up and sew yourself back together" so suddenly there's just this magic string that may or may not be a stand that can be used to sew people back together.

The Ball Boys stitch themselves up fairly often IIRC

You're telling me there's that much of a delay, huh?

The movie delays certainly feel that long sometimes.

They use it off-panel between fights, that's why their wounds heal. Probably. I guess.

The last time I remember it showing up in panel is during the tattoo you fight but in that part, I think it was gyro begging the other patrons for some string or something so it almost comes off like the zombie horse isn't just a limited string but can allow people to use pretty much any string for stitching themselves back up? Idk

I wish wekapipo and is dumb hair got to be around for more stuff, I liked his ability and drat he went out like a chump in that classic near-the-end-of-the-part araki way where people just start dying and you don't get much time to mourn before it's on to the next death or to continue the action

I wonder if the Part 5 anime is going to rearrange things so that Rolling Stone comes at a better time than literally stuck onto the end of the series after the climax.

I used to not like Rolling Stones but now I think it's pretty cool. Everyone in Passione knows Bruno is going to die and probably them too, they're Sleeping Slaves to Fate but they're dedication to each other will be what saves them as they still proceed onward anyway.

It also makes Fugo's departure sadder as he's lost that trust the rest of his friends have in each other. It's def in a weird place but you really kinda have to put it at the end

If it was moved at all, it'd probably work decently enough to add the beginning part of it as a breather between some of the fights between them being targeted by la squadra and being targeted by Diavolo's personal guard but withhold the actual ending part showing who was destined to die until after the finale

The thing is the stone turns into Bruno in the second chapter of Sleeping Slaves and Mista instantly recognizes it as such, the reveal isn't that it was Bruno All Along. it'd just kinda be dishonest to the viewer that way

I didn't really like Rolling Stones since it felt pretty arbitrary and after the fact. Like, it foretold everyone who died within a span of a couple weeks, why would it only show within that amount of time? I realize the series lives and dies by the rule of cool, but that part didn't really do it for me.

Didn’t Araki say he planned for Fugo to come back on Diavolo’s side but it was too depressing

I think so yeah. Taking it a step further I think he hinted it had something to do with some real life drama going on in his life around that time.

Yeah the actually sourced Araki Said was that originally Fugo would be more loyal to Diavolo than Bruno, acting as a mole and would eventually be killed by Giorno, but the idea of friends betraying and killing each other was too much for him
