giorno being all cool and warm towards fugo after revealing his plan and then falling over and writhing on the ground because the virus is still devouring him internally is very funny

also i have no idea what that Special Episode is going or whatever the next episode title was. neat! i wonder if we'll get a new OP next week too, i kinda doubt it

The snake brick was made from a brick that was exposed to purple hazes virus, meaning it was naturally resistant to the virus
Its so simple

When you get a virus, and you don't die, you get immunity to the virus.

The brick was exposed to the virus and didn't die.

I don't know what part of this is complicated :colbert:

with the internal logic of the series it makes sense as a thing it would pull to solve the situation

it's just that the general 'wait, what' factor is pretty inherently high when you're involving a snakebrick slithering around that's carrying the cure for a deadly stand virus

I like how he didn't have time to make the brick into a whole snake, so he just has this cute mutant snakebrick thing. I woulda just turned the brick into a dog; much faster, plus dude's body temp would be dropping fast losing that much blood; but this way, araki didn't have to draw a dog getting stabbed. Not to mention a snakebrick is much more distracting. "Wait, what the gently caress am I looking at? Did...Did that snake swallow a brick? Why would it dGGRRK"

And that, as much as anything else, led to my drinking problem.
Golden Experience is basically hamon in stand form.

Both in the "life energy" and "complete asspull bullshit" sense.

There are many Stands that allow you to pull things out of your rear end.

Enigma's user could have for example folded things into paper, inserted that paper into his anus, and then removed it when necessary. This would however be tactically inconvenient when one can just use pockets.

Something I didn't notice while reading the manga, there's an actual reason for the snakebrick. Man in the Mirror can selectively choose what living things to pull into the mirror world, but it reflects everything non-living by default, such as buildings and stones. The snake was still partially a brick so that Giorno and Fugo could actually see where it was moving.


Of course, there's no way Giorno actually knew that's how Man in the Mirror worked, so that means he came up with a wild guess as to how it could work, decided "well, that's better than nothing", and went all in with a stupid plan that could very easily have ended with him dying a horrible death. Abbacchio is right to call bullshit on Giorno's crazy plans.

Moody Blues beating the poo poo out of Illuso while making VCR noises and dial tones is so, so good. DavidPro's decision to incorporate its recording motif into the sound design is going to pay off dividends.

Giorno is the Akagi of stand users.

Hmmm. We've seen some boats and a bunch of cars already...

I bet it's a helicopter and Giorno's going call upon all the powers of the Joestar line to crash it super hard. No. Better yet, what's the biggest thing Gold Experience can turn into a critter? Giorno's going into a helicopter, and for bullshit Stand Battle reasons, have to turn it into a giant egret.

e: in a joke twelve people get and only one (me) will find funny, this will be a giant Little Egret.

Give them both some rope and see who bullshits the hardest.

Also, as a non-sequitir, I believe it was mentioned by this point already, but Giorno (15) is Joseph's (80~) direct uncle.

See, most Stands work on a belief/bullshit scale, where if you can convincingly explain how your Stand can Do a Thing, it can probably Do the Thing. Giorno somehow gets this on a subconscious level that others don't, so as long as he never really explains what his Stand's limits are, they do not exist.

I'm an alien.

Between Gold Experience's use of life energy and Crazy Diamond's healing power I'm beginning to wonder if the children of Hamon users end up with some sort of Ripple infusion in their Stand powers. While there were none left by the time of Part 4, it wouldn't surprise me if Josuke and Giorno would have been very good at fighting vampires.

I feel like if Gold Experience ever punched a vampire, they'd either disintegrate on the spot or Life so hard they turn back into a living human.

Josuke could just turn a vampire into a rock like he did with Angelo.
