It's not a ladybug. But it IS a stag beetle, which is pretty interesting.

They'll probably just have Golden Experience catch the arrow or something rather than taking it through the hand.

If I'm not at work, I don't touch my mobile so I could do that easily. I've done it 5 times this week  Also read out a rough estimate placing Trish at around episode 9.

hmm okay, cool. I feel like Black Sabbath will take two episodes, with the introduction to Polpo and then lighter hijinx, and maybe we meet the boys at the end of Episode 4. Then we have the fight on the boat, Kraftwerk, Illuso, Littlefeet etc. I feel like Part 3 has really conditioned me with it's pacing even after Part 4 where I feel like everything will take forever anyway now i'm imagining the end of the White Album episode, they play the credits over Giorno killing Ghaccio and then just play Freek'N You over the blowjob scene

I heard this thread is horny for livereactions. Behold as I catch up with Jojolion from Chapter 69. I forgot how messed up the stand user rockman was, holy poo poo. Right, right, rokakaka will help these guys gain more power, likely by removing their weakness of being rockmen. loving crossbow with forks. I bet Jolyne would've loved this. I forgot there was a loving tank stand involved also. Okay, no, wait, he's being runover by a tank and punctured all over by the little hook things. There's no way to get out of this?? "Do you know what I'm trying to do with my Doggy Style, Josuke?" that's a very normal sentence and a natural way to remember what his stand name was. Oooh same-ish stand. Oh god the child old man and the toyhouse. Okay, I did make it like halfway through that fight last time i was reading.  i forgot the yasuho flashback stuff hey, yeah, joshu and his fish sausages, yeah let's go in on that and relax a bit. Okay, yeah, messing with pressure, outside low inside high, this must be the last chapter i read. Well. That's probably a first. Long range stand user ignoring the fight by giving head. There's something magical about going down on a girl and getting a call from the enemy stand user. "Josuke will see the orchid burn! And he will take action! We are definitely taking the path of righteousness!" Jobin said, as Josuke pukes blood behind a door. MorningMoon fucked around with this message at 00:53 on Oct 14, 2018 |

like with other things related to the arrows i always kind of figured it had to do with intent and personal growth. like how kira despaired so much the arrow shot into him and expanded his power due to the sheer amount of desire he had to live a quiet life. ultimately it's probably just ~whatever~ but it's open enough to be able to reliably interpret it that way, as far as i see it. kinda hope they just change it a bit to have him catch the arrow during black sabbath, yeah.

I'm curious when you say Giorno isn't worthy yet, because I struggle to think what big changes he goes through or lessons he learns other than dealing with loss, but my memory of Part 5 is p. Bad But yeah ultimately its space rock that gives you a magic ghost so lack of consistency is fine, but through a meta lens, I feel you can chalk it up to writing a story week to week and it would be less of a headache if they change it rather than adhere closely. They're getting bolder and bolder with pacing and taking good liberties with presenting scenes to the point where the 39 episodes quality crunch is the only thing keeping me from saying the anime is of totally equal quality. (The Part 4 blurays arent on Crunchyroll right? That's never been a thing they do I'm pretty sure) Expect My Mom fucked around with this message at 05:17 on Oct 14, 2018 |

part of me is kind of hoping they've had time to reliably crank out episodes since the first one premiered a little while ago. the occasional shot in part 4 never really bothered me but if they've gotten the chance to not be rushed this go-around it'll be cool. hell, the anime-only additions so far have been great.

nothing about requiem stands makes sense and it's a good thing they were dropped by the end of part 5. there was a lot of potential for something cool, like maybe the stands gaining a bit of their own independence inherently and the users having to convince them to fight with them, but what we got kind of sucks. and unlike act stands getting an actually really cool one in part 7 i don't have confidence in requiem stands being workable unless heavily edited.

FirstAidKite posted:- thinks that the best way to avoid a stand user who can freeze stuff is to drive into water Large, flowing bodies of water don't actually freeze that fast and even then, ice is less dense than liquid water so it would float. So his main mistake was thinking that the laws of physics apply to Stand users, when they don't.

You know looking back I don't really remember much about what Giorno actually does during Part 5 outside of the usual highlights (vs. Bruno, that cockamamie thing he and Mista do during White Album, the big MUDA storm, punting Diavolo to Hell.)

in my memory, he's more of a character to play off of than a super active personality like Mista or Narancia. Passione is also just more of a team so the quieter ones like Abbachio and Giorno don't stick as well in my brain Later I'll be an idiot and count up all the fights in Part 5 and see who is in the most Expect My Mom fucked around with this message at 06:14 on Oct 14, 2018 |

Thats also why the crew is built up more than him; it's more about how he can draw these wild personalities in, and once he does, how all these crazy guys overcome even crazier guys.

The other thing to consider is that a stand needs to take possession of the arrow to go Requiem. For example, Polnareff manages to reverse Silver Chariot's transformation by taking the arrow out of its hands before it finishes transforming. I think the fact that the arrow in the Black Sabbath fight is like, part of Black Sabbath might make that kind of difficult. Anyway, it would be a pretty big loophole if any sufficiently powerful stand user could beat Black Sabbath by sticking their hand in its mouth.

I think the point behind Black Sabbath was to fight against non-stand users. If they already had a stand going into the fight, that certainly wasn't the expected result. It seemed like it was designed so that people trying to enter the gang would either 1. gently caress up, get attacked by Black Sabbath, live, get a stand, join the gang 2. gently caress up, get attacked b y Black Sabbath, die from the arrow wound 3. Never gently caress up with the lighter at all, meaning they were so good at doing this one particular thing that they would probably make for a good crony (I like to think that this is why Luca was around, that he was just that good at keeping a lighter lit for 24 hours)
