I hope they keep the bodies' voice actors the same, and they do impressions of the swapped souls'.

Mista's actor acting like Mista acting like Trish would be hysterical.

What happens to Polnareff at the end of this arc? He's dead, right? People keep saying "he's a turtle," but I thought that everyone's back in their own body, so Coco Jambo is too. So is he just persisting as a ghost inside of the Mr. President room?

Polnareff's soul just kinda lives inside the turtle now. He's primary adviser to Giorno and Mista considers him to be Passione's #2.

I love that that is so plausible from Mista’s point of view that I can’t tell if you’re joking. JoJo rules.

I don't get why Giorno couldn't just fix Polnareff's body like he did with his own. He could have even turned his metal legs into real legs!

Well considering Polnareff's track record with bathrooms, this is probably for the best.

I wondered that too, if Girono could like get a statue commissioned in the shape of Polnareff and make it into flesh and then Polnareff could jump bodies. Or would you need part of the original living body to bind the inanimate poo poo to first?

That was before the souls swapped back to their original bodies. Polnareff getting healed would've been after.

And Narancia died for it. At least Giorno could fix his body pretty much seconds after the attack, unlike with Polnareff whose body expired while everyone took a nice nap.

When the effects of Silver Chariot Requiem ended and the souls started going back to their correct bodies, Polnareff's body was dead and his spirit wouldn't have had a place to go to that was alive so either he'd go to his body, it'd be dead, he'd die and pass on to the afterlife, or he could hitch a ride in the turtle's convenient ghost room that was nearby.

For Giorno and Narancia, however, Narancia's soul had already passed on due to being dead in Giorno's body, and then Giorno fixed up his body before being swapped back into it.

Basically, Polnareff's soulless body was dead, Giorno's wasn't. Giorno's was more akin to Jotaro's body in part 6. If Polnareff had swapped into his dead body with any kind of healing, he'd have suffered the same kind of death as Doppio.

Ok, so does that mean the turtle's soul died in Polnareff's body too? Is ghost Polnareff just chilling in the room, or is he in full control of the turtle?

Cause if it's the latter then Part 6 should have had turtle Polnareff infiltrating the prison.
