Only in JoJo can a guy express disgust at a guy licking his lips at a girl and then explode a car out of a dude's body a minute later.

Darko posted:GER works just fine with the continuation of Kira's "your Stand evolved to give you exactly what you needed" thing going on in 4. It's Silver Chariot's weirdness that kind of confuses everything since that wasn't going to really help anyone. chariot requiem's goal was to keep the arrow away from diavolo, which it was insanely good at even defeating it requires self-sacrifice, something diavolo could never do

Diavolo was the first one to figure out a method to defeat Chariot Requiem And then he performed that method

Diavolo is the first character to understand the nature of Chariot Requiem and how to defeat it. While the rest of the cast is still trying to figure that out, Diavolo then uses this understanding to nullify Requiem's ability to control his stand and very nearly obtains the arrow. The only reason he fails is because Buccellati plagiarizes Diavolo and does the same thing Diavolo did, but harder, and he wouldn't have known to do that if he didn't see Diavolo do it first. To say that Diavolo is incapable of defeating Requiem goes against the actual events that we are shown in Vento Aureo, because Diavolo is indeed capable of defeating Requiem, and he is in fact more capable of defeating Requiem than anyone else participating in the fight against it.

It will probably make more sense animated. Whoever asked "where does the key go" in the anime thread - THATS how you post in an anime thread. I'm laughing at the responses because there's no way to know its a turtle. Also, yeah, the arguments about who has the most asspulls between Giorno and Joseph become kind of moot when people find out how overpowered Diavolo is. You need maximum asspulls to do anything against that. Or Magneto's power, apparently (boooo Narancia).

I think jewelry box is the closest guess so far. I love how someone predicted Giorno crashing a helicopter. Can't wait for people to lose their drat minds next week.

Obviously we can't say it in the anime thread, but for the record Cioccolata's "I'm a doctor so cutting myself into pieces isn't a big deal also I can still move all the parts somehow" is every bit as bullshit as snakebrick. And so is Heavy Weather and also Diego somehow being able to make dinosaur coat-racks and poo poo.

i would argue that the other stuff is more out of nowhere or fits with the general logic of the series than snakebrick which just happens to be the perfect solution to 'if you catch this then you die' which has been built up for almost 2 episodes at that point like yeah there's zombie horse but it's easy to never think about it again. manga or anime, snakebrick in particular seems to get a reaction for whatever reason.

Brick Snake just doesn't bother me much I guess? It's dumb and clunky for sure, but can see the extremely vague logic here. This snake naturally has immunity to Purple Haze's virus because it was born in it and you get antivenom from venom. That's total bullshit in implementation but I can squint and get over it I guess. Stuff like Green Baby feels like straight up magic, like okay i guess that does that because you say it does, sure, which is a lot less fun to me.

I liked Over Heaven’s attempt to explain the Green Baby. It did a good job of justifying why Dio would expect it to work, although it still comes across as an absurd coincidence that it actually does work.

As i hinted to in the anime thread, Giorno is basically part 2 Joseph, where he just pulls out a bullshit "I win because I did this bullshit already" thing every time, which was fortunately dialed back a bit with the next protagonist. He's only the winner of like 3 more fights, though - from here, it's basically the Zipperman/Mista show.

I love how Giorno can be infected with a 100% fatal flesh-eating virus and not bat an eye from the pain, yet getting cured sends him into a pain-induced frenzy that causes him to pass out.

Zeruel posted:excluding its creation/creator, it introduces us to a cool little goblin stand boy even ignoring the creepy parts, I don't like it. The stand feels nonsensically complicated, and not in the fun jojo way. Maybe the anime will change my mind on it, but it has too many parts that don't really gel together well.

baby face purely as a stand sucks because it has way too much going on and unlike gold experience it's not cool or enjoyable to watch in action. getting birthed out of what's more or less sexual assault is already starting on the wrong foot but nothing about 'lovely little child that can do basically whatever and can disassemble everything into cubes' is super interesting to me

I feel like Araki hosed himself by making Part 4 Josuke a literal healer because every Jojo since then has to go for the gory gross wounds and heavy battle damage without as strict a healing ability anymore. Hence 5's organ growing, 6's stiches, 7's Zombie Horse and so on. I think you kinda see a similar thing with Mista and realising that guns are cool so you get FF's inexplicable fingerguns then Part 7 be in the literal Wild West featuring fingernailgun.
