It's really weird that DiU would adapt like seven chapters in a single episode at its peak and we're back down to like three now.

Not really trying to complain, just wanna see the bullet gremlins.

Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
God, I forgot how much i loving love that the enemy put a boat on their boat and that's that. When They realize that the enemy stand user couldn't be in the boat, the only logical conclusion both users left could come with is that the bad guy put a boat on their boat.

Surprised we didn't see our sexy boys dance this week but that means we have a real treat next.

Probably the weakest of the VA eps to date but still good.

DiU did this too, they changed the order of the Cinderella and Kira wants a quiet life episodes, which I think works better because it explains what Koichi was up to during the episodes when Shigechi was introduced

And that, as much as anything else, led to my drinking problem.
I'm really looking forward to the next episode because I completely forgot what the next enemy's stand can do. All I remember is that there was a truck chase.

I can't check the manga right now, but was the Soft Machine fight framed like this?



It looks like Bruno is fighting a fly. Which somehow would not be the most ridiculous fight in the series.

To an extent, yeah:



There's more panels like those but none of them place quite so much emphasis on the fly.

e: unless you meant the specific framing of that shot, in which case, no, Davidpro added that and I'm glad of it

I always read it not as "they worked out he put the boats together" and more just Bruno saying "You're stuck on the boat too, and by sinking it, you'll either have to come out or drown".

Relocating Abbacchio's past to this episode is an odd choice, since having it in the Man in the Mirror fight explains why Abbacchio prioritizes completing the mission over saving Fugo, and why he clashes against Giorno when he wants to jeopardize the mission by rescuing Fugo and Abbacchio.

Buccellati was absolutely counting on there being a second boat. If not, he would have like, drowned because it's not like you can just un-sink a boat by re-zipping it.

If the opposite is possible, I don't like having a character's backstory happen just at the right time to explain their motivations or build sudden sympathy (yet I like one piece so idk lol) so having it here to establish Abbacchio as someone devoted to Bruno and then asking the viewer to apply that knowledge on their own later on down the road to understand his actions is interesting and cooler imo

Please be true! DavidPro i'm counting on you.

Was slightly disappointed to see the cold open on policeman Abbacchio only because it made it obvious we wouldn't get the torture dance this week.

The Moody Blues reveal was pretty cool but I wasn't so sure about the sound effects they used for him. Sounded like a telephone and a tape rewind?

Oh well next week we're going to get the double whammy of the dance and the intro of everyone's favourite bullet gnomes!

An answering machine beep and a tape rewind. Which, considering Moody Blues' power, makes total sense.

When Moody Blues is replaying Narancia listening to Buccellati talk about the treasure, it also replays the BGM from that scene in the last episode.

I really, truly cannot wait for Davidpro to get to Abbaccio being absolutely, transcendentally spiteful during the Man in the Mirror fight where he gains the will to live through the mission just to prove Giorno wrong. It's almost Rohan levels of spite and I can't wait to see it realized on my television screen. I love this salty bastard man so much.

Man in the Mirror is going to be amazing. The buildup of "trust me, we don't use Purple Haze until EVERY OTHER OPTION has been exhausted" makes it so excited when it finally does appear.

My favorite part of Moody Blues is saying the name out loud. It's something I've been thinking about for long time and I'm glad they somehow got someone who shouts Moody Blues exactly how I imagined it.

Come to think of it part 5 has a lot of stand names to say out loud.

Agreed. I expect the anime to show the backstories of each gangstar during their first fight. So Mista's is next week probably!

Purple Haze's ability is a virus, not acid, it shouldn't even do anything to non living things. Even then, Fugo tries not to use Purple Haze so I doubt he would

I assume it was just Fugo clawing at the paneling with an iron grip

Hey speaking of, I saw it brought up on Twitter that moving Abbacchio's story up means that we might get Fugo's backstory during Man in the Mirror and if that's the case, Davidpro is truly spoiling us.
