There was also the redirection ability, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't have it any more.

I'm honestly glad this got forgotten about. It's really pretty random and bs and doesn't tie into the "life" motif of Gold Experience.

It should be clear by now that damage redirection was Koichi's luggage's stand power.

Imagine if Gio remembered he could do that. "Oh, the enemy is rapidly aging everyone? I'll just turn something into a fly, which has a very short life span. The enemy is now dead!"

e: What would happen if Pesci hooked one of Gio's creatures?

I think it's even better paired with the reaction. Abbacchio always being tired of Giorno's Bullshit is one of my favorite reoccurring part 5 things.

I'm also a little bit sad they they didn't show Narancia and Mista playing with the froggies, but it's the little things like these that need to be cut.



This was a nice touch.

That's because it's the work of an enemy Stand. :eng101:

Also, it's really weird to think that most of the Assassination Squad is dead already. All that's left aside from Melone are Bakugo and Risotto.

i really liked the effect of the blocks moving in this ep honestly, like the way babyface moved from the rock to traveling up the wall, or just how it broke people down

the problem is that baby face just does so much stuff that's borderline abstract, but not in a really cool way. combined with the having to be born and taught things, it's just a bit too busy. plus the reason for giorno being seperated feels silly. everyone just silently and intensely watching mista hotwire this car, ignoring the motorcycle revving and giorno talking to himself

i don't like babyface as a stand because it's almost comparable to gold experience in a way in that it has a weird assortment of traits going on but there's no inherent charm from the user or cool design or anything. it's just a weird, lovely little gremlin that minecrafts stuff and has nothing cool going for it. if it had just the cube thing or just the 'weird automatic thing that tracks a person using their blood' aspect i feel it could be a much more cohesive idea. also get rid of the sexual assault bit entirely, of course.

it sticks out to me a lot as an encounter because part 5 has a lot of really cool stand designs so it's just a stinker in comparison, in my opinion

I had completely forgotten the beats of this fight, so I thought that the end of this episode had skipped a ton of the fight to kill Babyface quicker. But, nah, pirrahna out the back.

If it's any consolation, there's no more rape in Part 5.

Gotta say, while he is creepy, I kinda dig Melone just sitting there with his giant laptop being smug. Him having a giant book with pictures of animals was also loving hilarious.
Babyface, on the other hand, sucks. It feels like Araki thought the concept was cool and didn't know what to do with his actual abilities. Cubes were pretty neat but inconsistent and really underexplained.

Gold Experience's abilities seemed pretty straightforward to me (aside from the weird time perception thing that disappears after the very beginning). It turns non-living matter into living matter by punching it. Either Giorno turns something into an animal and the animal acts according to its nature, or he turns stuff into an organ and stuffs it into the appropriate gaping wound, as we saw in this episode. Oh, and if the non-living thing belonged to someone, it returns to that person after it becomes an animal. That rule has been followed pretty consistently from the start. I'll grant that the vaccine snake was bullshit, but at least it's still based around the idea of "turn non-living thing into living thing." Overall Gold Experience's powers seem pretty consistent. My actual question is where the hell a 15-year-old kid learned all of these random animal facts. Did he take refuge from his awful childhood in a stack of encyclopedias?

i love how stupidly convoluted babyhead is, melone sitting down to teach it bullshit only to have the kid totally grow past him, their chat program basically sounding like undertale text, and babyhead freaking out and spamming the chat

Yeah, babyface felt like two or three stands stapled awkwardly together.

I wonder if there's any kind of limitation to what Giorno can make objects into. It seems like he only makes small animals, but I wonder if he could turn a wallet into an elephant or something.

I think this Stand fight is actually amusing because it is two equal bullshit powers defined by the inner dialogue of the Stand talking about the bullshit going on with its creator. The computer dialogue is the key.

Also the 3rd party reactions of the guy who cant see the fight. "Wait, he did what?"
