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.

That lighter does not have 24 hours of fluid. The actual third option is the person returns the unlit lighter to polpo and owns up to it, proving their trustworthiness.

i don't think the amount of fluid is something that would come into play when it's literally part of a stand that summons a goddamn wraith that stabs people through the soul with an arrow

Option 5. The lighter goes out. You say "eh gently caress it" and throw it away and don't go back to Polpo.

also the wraith might show up even if you don't relight the lighter and accuse you of letting the lighter go out instead after he gets tired of waiting

also the lighter might go out no matter what you do

Snakes are bread's natural enemy and chief predator. The marks you often see on the tops of loafs of bread are scars from previous encounters with snakes.

I don't think there's any confirmation that leaky eye luca was or was not a stand user. Just because someone is a stand user doesn't mean they're going to bring it out every chance they get.

I doubt Polpo would’ve disposed of Luka if he was a stand user. Well, I assume the order was from Polpo, It could’ve been from the top boss.

Wait what about that part where Bruno says Polpo's tests are different depending on how he feels? I know most likely that was just "I plead the fifth" stuff but maybe they needed some aggro mook at the time to play loan shark duty and Polpo just asked Luca what 2 + 2 is.

Yeah for intimidation tactics. Cause you know Luka was brain dead from having half of his skull being caved in and was going to just uselessly take up space in a hospital. Like Stand user or not the situation would be the same, cause Luka would not recover.

I'm not going to doubt that snakes eat bread, but does anyone know if they need a lot of it? If I get a snake, how many breads is it going to need to eat over its lifetime?

Bruno says "Leaky Eye Luca was disposed of by our boss. He said that there's no point in him living anymore." Interpret that however you want.

While I'm an anime-first JoJo experiencer, so I haven't seen the relevant manga chapter, I definitely feel like this episode in particular was enhanced by the addition of sound, colour, and motion. The whole episode had a fairytale vibe, with the meeting with Polpo in particular feeling like Giorno was petitioning some strange and terrible ogre for passage into fairyland.

Oh boy, are they going to have an egg on their face when some newbie joins a couple days later and it turns out his stand can heal people.

It's still pretty wacky and the abruptness of the bed and fingers were maybe a little better presented in manga form but the hallway being black and green as gently caress was an anime addition and was very nice.

Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?

Did you guys know Batta did an English version of Chase as a bonus track on their new album? I don’t have a youtube link or anything but the album’s on Spotify, at least in Japan. Just like Fighting Gold in English, I think I had an easier time understanding the song in Japanese, but its still a cool novelty, I think!

man with how wild and random some stands are it feels like a needless risk. you dont wanna poke someone with an arrow and it turns out their stand is a mobile telephone that is always broadcasting the user's conversations into the sky in the form of a banner held by an unidentifiable flying object (stand name: jefferson airplane)

Love the comedic timing of Giorno going "I have a dream and I need this lighter to get there!" and then water immediately comes flying towards him.

So Polpo's stand Black Sabbath allows him to do this lighter thing, trick people into eating his own fingers and/or contort into a bed.


How much of Polpo is stand powers and the other natural talent? Also head canon says Polpo is Shigechi's estranged father similar to Dio/Giorno's relationship

In much the same way that J. Geil's dome that protects him from water is never explained, I don't think Polpo eating his fingers ever comes up again.

Especially since we've seen Black Sabbath's power involves ripping out a person's soul and piercing them with the Stand Arrow. :v:
