I like how everyone somehow knows it's the real Spiderman and not just some cosplayer.

I mean, the dude's hanging on a wall. I'd want to shake hands with a cosplayer who can somehow manage that.

The previous chapter end is also a good place to end an episode at.

They'll probably still say Spiderman in the Japanese since it's an American creation and they're fine with saying all the band names. Crunchyroll would be the one to change it to Arachnid Fellow.

Nah, it'll be fine in the sub. You can namedrop a copyrighted name if it's referring to the thing itself, like Joseph saying Weird Al at the end of part 3. It's when you're naming something unrelated after it that you run into trouble of the possible brand confusion suit variety.

Like, they're not gonna show the actual character, but a single instance of the name is fine.

Versus drags Emporio behind a bush, but Jolyne manages to catch a glimpse of him. Jolyne rushes out of the car, but sees that her condition greatly impedes her movements. At the same time, many snail predators such as boat backed ground beetles begin to swarm over Ermes. Her strings becoming slimy as well, Jolyne is reduced to crawl toward the bushes, but the American Football players from the Miami Dolphins spring out of the bushes and drag Jolyne away while performing a play.

I swear to god there is nothing better than straight-faced summaries of Stone Ocean chapters.

JoJo almost feels like a series where spoilers almost don't matter because either the person just won't believe what's being said, or actually seeing what goes down firsthand is so freaky that knowing about it beforehand just doesn't matter.

Araki has this very specific sense of humor I can't really place but I love. Just today I was thinking about the fight with RPS Kid and there's just something about Rohan saying "Rock," and then punching a child that makes me lose it every time.

He's obviously doing a shadow play, hinting at the shadow theme of his stand. Not everything has a deep meaning

It's a pretty symbolic moment tbh. Popol's stand is Black Sabbath. Black Sabbath's guitarist Tony Iommi lost his same fingertips in a factory accident and continued as a guitarist by using homemade, prosthetic fingertips. Working around handicap pushed him to innovate his style, and helped lead to the band's pioneering sound as Iommi transitioned from blues rock to the down-tuned trademark of heavy metal.

Based on this, it could also be that Popol activates his automatic stand by losing his fingertips the same way Iommi did, which is why they're back with his lighter in his hand just moments later.

It's kinda a minor thing, but I like how anything gotten through Emporio's stand has to be a ghost object and has to be called as such.

"Emporio hand me a Ghost lighter."

"Don't worry Jolyne I'll find out about the plane crash using my Ghost computer."

I reread Rolling Stones recently and I wanted to ask something about that whole bit. Did Mista's actions result in fate changing to kill 3 people instead of just the 1, or was it meant to be taken that all 3 were always destined to die and Rolling Stone was just going to take Bruno first?

I'm not sure because usually Fate is this thing in Jojo that is constant and consistent, you can't change your fate, but it is malleable enough that you can change what your fate ultimately means. I'm just not sure if Bruno dying first would've meant that the others wouldn't have died or if Mista's actions somehow rewrote fate to something arguably worse (3 deaths vs 1 death) but ultimately something considered to be for the greater good (stopping Diavolo and the drug trade overall)
