remember when giorno made his brooch into a ladybug for bruno but he also put cells from the turtle into it so it could turn into the turtle while giorno is far away and it sucks in diavolo even though it doesnt have the key and is a different turtle.

what the gently caress

The key isn't a necessary part of the turtle's stand. The original turtle activates its stand when the key is slotted into its shell because that turtle is a turtle with special training.

Don't forget in the previous part there were two rats that had the same stand. Maybe the same logic applies.

I wasn't even joking. The turtle's stand page flat-out states that the turtle was trained to use its stand when the key is inserted.

I had forgotten this detail and am grateful to you for reminding me. But now I'm wondering, if nobody ever bothered to name the turtle, at what point did it become Coco Jumbo? Did it choose that name itself once it got stand-bestowed intelligence?

Complete Alteration of All Life
With enough time, Chariot Requiem will begin to transform the souls of those its ability has affected into souls of unidentifiable, otherworldly beings, causing an accelerated body transformation. Polnareff comes to the conclusion that the true ability of Requiem is to switch the entirety of the people, animals, and plants of Earth with "something else".[3] The theorized result would be the complete metamorphosis of every organism in the biosphere, both in body and soul, into completely new and absolutely unknown entities. The effect of the violent transformation appears to be painless, as those transforming continued their activities without noticing that they were physically changing.[4]

Shadow Weakness
Anyone who observes Chariot Requiem may notice that its shadow will always be opposite to the observer, regardless of any source of light like the sun.[4][11] In reality, Diavolo discovers that what appears as Requiem's shadow is the observer's own soul's shadow: Chariot Requiem is in reality the shadow of the soul.[11] Thus, there is a psychic source of light which always hovers behind one's head and is only visible by the person to whom it is attached. Stands can destroy the marble emitting the light in order to defeat Chariot Requiem.[11]

I'm an alien.

Turning people into aliens could be a way of protecting the arrow if you consider that aliens (Mikitaka, probably) can't be pierced by stand arrows/don't have stands and thus anyone transformed by SCR would be unable to make use of it.

The reflection of the soul doesn't make any sense, though. Wasn't SCR supposed to be a physical, non-phantasmagoric being?

If Mikitaka is an alien, that being the explanation for why the arrow bounced off of him is weird because the arrows came from space

the only good thing about silver chariot requiem is that basing a Stand off the mysterious messenger who commisioned Mozart's last work is cool and spooky and v. Araki.

I didn't mind the whole "what you see isn't actually the stand, it's the shadow and the true form is a ball that is hiding behind your head that is imperceptible to every other person who also has a ball hiding behind their head at all times" or whatever it was, that was kinda neat

Also, it's independently sapient and talks behind Giorno's back (specifically, it tells Diavolo that even Giorno doesn't actually understand how its power works).

Reading over the ending again, it's striking how Giorno's more or less a nonentity across the climax and epilogue. Bruno's the one who figures out how to beat Chariot (and makes the big sacrifice to make it work), after which Giorno stabs himself and GER dumpsters Diavolo without Giorno particularly understanding what's going on. Then there's five chapters of epilogue all about how the pre-Giorno gang loved Bruno and would follow him to their deaths. Then Giorno's the new boss, the end.

I don't think they've been dubbed, but also as a more general question: do anime OVAs usually get dubbed?

It depends. Some do, but others are just ignored. The One Punch Man OVAs that were on the BD releases got dubbed when the series got localized blu rays, for an example of a recent OVA dub.
