so, I heard that in part 5 if a stand gets hit with the arrow it becomes a super stand


in that case, isn't the entire arc basically like Raiders of the Lost Ark where if GioGio had just let Black Sabbath win at the very beginning everything would have been better

We already saw Gold Experience get hit with the arrow. It didn't turn into a super stand, unless you consider "Gold Experience with bleeding/smoking wounds in its neck and hand" to be an upgrade.

requiem stands can only be made once both the stand is hit with the arrow AND araki has thought of the concept

the arrows mostly just do whatever

The stand user has to be the one to use the arrow, I think. Or the arrow might choose who/when it gives it to, like when it gives people stands/kills them.

All I remember about the Baby Fave fight is the user creeping on a girl and making a baby monster with a computer. What was the creepy part again

Edit: leaving the baby face typo because Baby Fave should be the dub name

Also doesn't help that it immediately follows what's generally regarded to be one of the best monster of the week fights of all time in Grateful Dead & Beach Boy.

Yeah beach boy is such an awesome stand concept and then you get crappy monster rape baby stand.

And then you get White Album immediately afterwards. It's like... it just makes how bad Baby Face is stand out even more, really.

Doesn't even help that Melone himself is a giant creeper with nothing else going on compared to how rad Prosciutto, Pesci and Ghiaccio all are.

The only good things about Baby Face are:
1) Its user’s catchphrase
2) The baby riding a motorcycle

oh poo poo I just had a thought, what if the ending to Jojolion is Josuke 8 traveling into an alternate dimension to save Josuke 4 and finally explaining that dropped plotline from Diamond

That wasn’t a dropped plot line, it was just a delinquent looking dude who saved Josuke.

Josuke is wearing his clothes. Like, purposefully. It's a really obvious hook for something but without a payoff, him just being a random guy still makes total sense.

This theory type destroys the entire theme of Part 4

I sincerely think its constant resurgence proves that people dont know to consume and process fiction

Nerds search for answers in fiction constantly. Perhaps its human to seek answers in everything but in my experience, loose ends cannot exist because everything must be documented on excruciating detail on the fan wiki. The worst sin a fiction can commit is not be entirely logical, the worst thing to have is a "plot hole"
