I might just be totally misremembering but I don't think they started doing them until a few episodes into each season?

Nah, they always did it from the outset. Stardust Crusaders had a preview for every episode except the first of each season, for instance.

i forgot the pain of waiting weekly for new episodes

that was a good episode though, drat. so that explains the coming (i assume) gang of stand nerds

i assume he won't, but if giorno got stabbed, what would happen? When it happened to Kira he got a second stand ability and his hair was cooler but i doubt that's the rule and not the exception

Regarding Kira, I'm pretty sure the reason he got Bites the Dust was because the arrow reacted to his conviction. Had he been stabbed with the arrow at any other time, it probably wouldn't have done much of anything. Yoshihiro even states that the arrow was moving on its own to empower Kira.

So the risk Giorno has here is presumably the same as any regular person's.

I feel pretty sure that lighter is supposed to go out so Polpo can poke himself Stand gangsters. Criminally wasteful but everyone who does it knowingly takes the test.

the idea is that there's three outcomes to the test

1. the lighter goes out. the person relights it. the stand impales them with the arrow and they have the willpower to support their own stand. they go back to polpo with a stand and are accepted.

2. the lighter goes out. the person relights it. the stand impales them with the arrow and they don't have the willpower to support their own stand. they die. it's taken care of.

3. the lighter does not go out for 24 hours. the person returns to polpo with a lit lighter and has shown that they are dedicated enough to manage such a thing to where they should be allowed into the gang based on that alone. it's implied leaky eye luca managed this, as he did not have a stand.

Further proof that Giorno is a member of the Joestar bloodline - his ability to pull off ridiculously absurd feats of slight of hand in full view of the reader/viewer without it being revealed until way after the fact.

Swiping all the guard's stuff while she was patting him down with his hands in the air is particularly impressive.

The real question is "how does Polpo get the lighter back"

Does he give people missions to go find his missing lighter

4. some weirdo passerby with a healing stand saves whoever got shot, they come back with an egg, polpo quits because "this is bullshit"

They've been really bad with adding the new episode to the show's page recently. In the future you can let the previous episode play till the end and it will start the next one automatically. At least I assume it works the same with the app as on PC.

Usually it does, but it didn't this week. The new episode wasn't up in the app on my PS4, so I tried rewatching episode 2 to see if it would automatically queue up the third episode at the end. It didn't work, so I eventually just gave up on watching it on the app and watched it on my PC instead.

Considering Polpo can get caviar delivered to him in prison, I assume it's not terribly difficult to regain a lighter. Especially since the dead person will likely wind up being noticed by someone.

The lighter owns, my gf who doesn't care for JoJo was really into how Giorno would handle that.

Also, I wonder how disappointed DIO is that his son dares drink that travesty called Sprite.

4. They come back with an unlit lighter, hoping that since it's a loyalty/trust test, Polpo will appreciate they did not attempt to deceive him and reignite the lighter. Polpo immediately bites off their head.

Like an idiot, I wasn't expecting Stand shenanigans for the lighter business, I thought it would be something more straightforward like 'relighting the lighter uses up too much oil so it goes out at hour 20' or some poo poo. Nope! You get murdered!

I had forgotten how this went, so I was wondering what kind of lax body check doesn't inspect the hands. And then she did.

I don't remember everyone aiming their guns at Giorno in the manga, though.

He has a Stand. She frisks him, Gold Experience frisks her.
