Dont judge me, I design your manhole
I think one thing that has really helped me like Giorno more in this is just his outfit. Typically I don't like pink with blonde hair but Giorno is loving killing it. It's a lot better looking than his typical blue.

They're in the intro stage still so I'm willing to bet next bad guy will be fighting fugo alone, since everyone is getting their own little 1 v 1 to establish stands. After that I'm sure we'll be seeing more gio.

Has fugos stand even been brought up or seen? I don't know if it's in the intro but we know he has one since everyone does.

Maybe it's the other part of his jacket :o

i still have no idea what fugo's stand is. we've SEEN it in the intro but gently caress if i know what the power is

i'm guessing his time to shine is in two episodes though, that seems to be the way they're doing it. which is great

it's not really a spoiler but yeah there's gonna be a fight with a relative focus on each person early-ish on. the little feet encounter is definitely narancia's time to shine.

Yeah, the OP does a good job of letting you know the basic gist of Mista, Bruno, and Narancia's Stand powers. Giorno's is at least shown in the episode before we get the opening. Abbacchio and Fugo, though, have abilities difficult to fully convey with brief visuals.

yeah actually they will

Honestly, thinking about it now I think this is one of the scarier stands in part 5 (so far)

Like how the gently caress do you fight a very small airplane with very real bullets that can blow up a car

well, you go tiny, and then you go on top of the car and jump into their pocket

it seems like being really tiny wouldn't do much good against being exploded, how did he escape the bomb and end up on the roof so fast?

JoJo is inspired by horror movies and horror movie villains have the power to teleport.

QED, JoJo villains can teleport when they aren't onscreen.

Joseph: English, then Spanish being a common language in the states.

Am I forgetting something or was Joseph only just immigrating to the United States during/immediately after Battle Tendency?

This reminds me, aren't the Joestars technically some sort of minor nobility? Would their titles persist across generations? Or maybe just end with Holly since Joseph has no legitimate male children? Or would getting US citizenship void the title somehow? I don't know poo poo about how this stuff works, but neither does Araki.

The Joestars are minor nobility yes but Joseph could have surrendered his title when obtaining US citizenship. He wouldn't be required to though.

What with the fire, George's untimely death, Jonathan's untimely death, George ii's untimely death, Elizabeth's disappearance, and the weird birthmark, the Joestar family is legally cursed now and loses all status.

Alternative: Jotaro's technically a Duke but Holly wasn't sure when the best time to bring it up was.

Alternative: Joseph lost his title in a poker game.

Alternative: Probably at least forty people were horribly murdered when Dio sank that ship so Erina's laying low to avoid awkward questions.

I think the Joestars were gentlemen but did not seem to be affiliated with the 1st Baronet of Joestar so they might have just been wealthy landlords. In fact, Joseph himself was a wealthy landlord in America. As I recall part of why Jotaro went to Morioh was to talk to Josuke about the inheritance.

I'm not a lawyer but Josuke presumably could have had legal standing to get a piece off of Joseph's money if Joseph had fallen into a hole. Matters would have been potentially complicated by both of Joseph's children residing in a foreign country.

I showed a good friend of mine a clip of the boat torture dance. He knows nothing about Jojo and said "why did I just watch three homosexuals dancing in front of a severed head?"

Needless to say he's starting from part 1.

I don't think that'll exactly give him an explanation of that scene in particular, but it should at least show him that having several homosexuals on-screen doing varied poses is just what you should expect of JoJo in general.
