Seing Zipper Man's stuff happening in animation is even more body horror than it was in the manga - and this is going to get REALLY ridiculous later on, especially when he's trying to avoid a hook going to his heart.

I think the part I'm looking forward to the most is Cioccolata getting MUDA'd for what will probably be a straight minute.

black sabbath is a really good stand fight though. I want to see the rest of the boys too and get their individual stand battles, but we have to see giorno trying to keep a lighter lit as the universe conspires to stop him

I don't think they'll retcon the plot hole with Black Sabbath but deadly curious if they're going to skirt around it and also if Mario is going to die.

What I want for Cioccolata's punching is for it to be ~30 seconds or so at the end of the episode... then the credits start playing over it and they just use it instead of the ED. I'd then have it be a ~10-15 seconds cold open at the start of the next just before the OP. It still stays pretty short in total screen time, but it really drives home that he was such a vile fucker that from the viewers perspective he got punched for 7 days straight.

He's been tapping into Aunt May's bank account!
Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
So, I forget a lot of the finer details of Part 5, but Giorno totally never uses the "punch extra life energy into someone" power ever again, right?

And we have one fight before the lighter, right?

Daxing Dan

Damn it, why it does need to remain only four bullets!?
Giorno uses it once on Black Sabbath and it doesn't work because Black Sabbath doesn't really have a consciousness to speak of. He never has much of a chance to punch anyone after that.

We don't have a fight, it's just Giorno heading over to meet Polpo and getting the lighter.

And yeah, though I'd like to think that Ciaccolatta getting that 7-page beatdown is getting it in an extremely painful, slow and drawn out way. Giorno does the same thing that Jotaro does, where he MUDAs dudes he's already beaten as a flex.

giorno is never really in situations again where trying to run up and punch someone to death is feasible or in any way smart so it's not so much a dropped plot thing as it is 'this is nifty but not as useful as being able to shapeshift loving anything into literally goddamn any living thing basically'

part of this is because part 5 has some particularly nasty opponents in general

Having a Stand that is a group of fun dudes with personality trying to angle bullets around impossibly makes a great guy to focus on.

I never really thought of Black Sabbath’s arrow-stab as a plot hole. We only saw Requiem stands firm when the user themself stabs their stand right? I figured that was part of the requirement. And if it isn’t, the arrow seems to have a will of its own so maybe it just wasn’t feeling it that day.
