sometimes when you're torturing someone's disembodied head you just gotta style on 'em

When Bucciarati and Giorno first meet he talks about how he can torture people and can roll your head around like a soccer ball if he wants.

What I'm saying here is that they may have practiced their choreography a few times.

Look, they're a gang, not some random thugs. You can't just grab a guy and then waste two hours arguing out how you'll deal with him. Gotta be organized in this job. Of course they
rehearsed this, it's probably what they do every Tuesday.

Yeah i can only remember bits of the 3-4 most iconic fights in this part but at least it has some development in the overall goal unlike part 3.

I got my red title when part 3 was airing for pointing out that you could skip any of the fights up to Dio's mansion and it wouldn't affect the story at all, and if you did so accidentally you wouldn't even realise.

If I had to compared Part 5 to any part, it's closest to Part 3 in terms of execution, but we can see that Araki came up with the idea of how to improve on that type of story.

Giorno's goals thus far are:

- Get into gang. (Done)
- Get Polpo's money to make Bruno capo. (In Progress)
- ???
- Replace the boss as the head of the gang. (In Progress)

As opposed to Stardust Crusaders, where the established goal was "Get to Egypt and kill DIO." with the various Stand battles just being roadblocks in the way.

I remember people complained about Stardust Crusaders being enemy of the week, but I don't think that the problem was so much that it was enemy of the week as it was that there was no real change in dynamics. I mean, hypothetically, if you were to skip from the episode where Jotaro and Co. are like "Let's go to Egypt!" and then go to Episode 1 of Season 2, the only thing you'd really need to explain is that Polnareff joined up with them a few episodes after they left and you'd be up to speed. There's no major incremental goals that they accomplish on the way, like "We need to split up DIO's strongest guys" or something akin to that.

I'm glad I'm not the only person who feels this way. Part 5 feels a lot like Part 3 to me in terms of structure, to the point that I wonder if Araki wanted to take another shot at that type of story when he sat down to write it. If Part 3 is a meandering road trip across the world, Part 5 is a pedal to the medal race down the highway.

I bet he can. I know this is Jojo and "Stand Rules" are only consistent in one thing - being broken - but Jotaro could see through the eyes of Star Platinum using binoculars. I bet that 1 and 2 tell him because they want to, not cause they need to.

The Dance was amazing. The whole episode was amazing, I especially love how Mista goes "yeah I fired this gun here, so what?" after the dock guy asks him what he did.

Guido Mista, not a known giver of fucks.

Mista intimidating the people at the dock is probably the most genuinely gangster thing we've seen so far.

This is so powerful and I'm honestly really glad the Dance is becoming a full blown meme. Thank you.

Like, most of the time, if you're thinking "I wonder why Araki did [blank]," if it's from a movie, that's probably why.

I mean, Death Note was almost a full decade after part 4, so it's probably the other way around.
