Thinkin' bout how Narancia and his airplane stand were good and strong up until he comes across someone from part 3, whereupon he near immediately gets owned.

Aerosmith is okay, but it has some overlap with Sex Pistols being another bullet Stand. At least Narancia gets lots of cool moments, though.

On that note, were Squalo and Tiziano gay or is that just the general Jojo vibe?

im not sure if you're being sarcastic, but yeah it's because that's all it does. Narancia can't really do much else with it but Shoot or Track. I never really found his fights that engaging. It's like how all Polnareff is gonna do in a fight is Stab You

Bruno, Mista and Giorno can all use their Stands in non combat scenarios, hell Abbachio can ONLY use his Stand in non combative ways. I love that, I love that Abbachio is without a doubt One of the Boys in this violent criminal orgination despite his Stand cant even throw a punch. Even Fugo's one fight was pretty tricky and layered. Maybe seeing his fights animated will change my mind, but I was just always way more interested in everyone else in Passione.

I like how Naracias intro fight is done from the POV of his enemy and this time around its the villain who has to skulk around trying to feel out how the heros power works instead of the usual reversed situation.

I just wanna see reactions to the name Aerosmith. That justifies Narancia for me.

I loved how in part 3 Hanged Man attacks Polnareff from a mirror, and Kakyoin needs to explain to him how there isn't some magical backwards-world inside of a mirror, and it's just a shiny surface that reflects light, so clearly Hanged Man is made of photons.
But then in Part 5 Araki decides, gently caress it , I want to make a stand that transports you to the magical mirror dimension.

I wish Polnareff had a chance to sit down and talk with the gang a bit. Would have loved to hear his reaction to Man in the Mirror.

I like when they explained that Hanged Man moves at the speed of light yet Polnareff was still able to cut him.

To be fair, he could only hit him at light speed if he knew where he'd be.

The late Sorbet and Gelato were also gay.

I wonder how long it'll be before one of the main characters is explicitly, openly gay.

I chalk that up more to Araki being bad at writing women than him being bad at writing gay characters tbh. I was just thinking about that quote where he was like "you can write a story without any women at all, even a love story, be brave"

it still just kind of wigs me out that the first relevant and notable lgbt character in the series is portrayed as a pedophile with no boundaries which is pretty much play by play straight from the handbook of someone who would probably want to see a queer person dead in a ditch

not to say araki is that, but it still leaves me feeling gross

I totally see where you're coming from but to me, the fact that people we're supposed to root for like Stephen Steel and Mountain Tim are also weird about Lucy makes me think it's not a malicious thing and just Araki badly writing weird eccentrics

Also things like Jolyne seeing a trans person in prison and her reaction to seeing a transperson for the first time is "Whoa...this is the dawn of a new age!" make me feel that Araki isnt a hateful person and I feel comfortable supporting him, but yeah I can understand why anyone wouldn't

Giorno is very gay, he's just too busy turning things into bugs and frogs to date during part 5.


He went to Florida during part 6 on vacation with his boyfriend.

The reason Jotaro and Jotaro's Wife's marriage failed was because Jotaro spent 98% of the marriage standing around saying nothing, trying to think up a cool way to say "I like you" to her.

I personally imagine that it was more of a "someone will try to sexually assault Mista and he'd kill him" instead of "Mista hates gays" but maybe that's just my own headcanon.

e: seriously i know everyone (me included) loves mista but he is totally the polnareff of part 5, a part where polnareff himself actually appears
