I am 100% convinced that Fugo was written out since Akarai realized that Fugo's ability made it basically impossible for him to contribute to fights in any meaningful way. His stand does not lend itself to creative uses .

-Fugo! Get angry
-Arrggghhhaaajjj
-Now, Gold Experience has taken one of your viruses DNA and created a horned lizard, which will shoot blood (full of viruses) right into Pomodoro and Basilico's mouths.

I mean, who needs other stands with creative uses when you can force anything with GE.

I feel like Fugo is removed because his stand would be a decent counter to Crimson King. The boss would have a hard time avoiding just a general miasma of incurable disease.

Not if they fight at night.

That said, all The Boss has to do is make sure Fugo doesn't land his punches on anything.

Giorno just did some bullshit with his bullshit stand but it was like half-assed bullshit so Bruno wasn't fixed properly.

I mean Gold Experience can just basically do whatever the gently caress it wants as long as it is tangentially connected to "life".

Obviously Bruno's got an extra life from the life Giorno punched into him in their fight.

And her outfit is okay...but not ridiculous enough to fit Bruno's aesthetic yet. It's like with each of the wayward youths he met he took a little inspiration from their outfits and went "Now...ten times as bizarre. Voilą! You are now a cheese, Fugo."

The family that kills together, uh, thrills together? Is still(s) together? I keep wondering how long Bruno's been in business because he seems well known but once again, everyone on the team is between 15-21 years old.

According to the last or penultimate episode, he's been in the mob since he was like 12 or 13.

Alright just so to be clear this coming Friday we're getting no GioGio, right?

Also of course Fugo's coming back. It's prime material for a dramatic save with some kinda "Did you miss me?" I also only partially agree Fugo's stand sucks in that there's not a whole lot of wacky or original powers going on there, but I like the idea of something hard to control so that when it's used right, it feels like that much more of a reward.

The family that slays together stays together

I can't take any credit for that. It's an episode title from The Venture Bros.

Everyone's so concerned with understanding King Crimson that they missed Giorno's latest bullshit of implanting turtle cells in his brooch, and creating a clone of the turtle that had the same stand.

So what're the odds of Giorno using this power as part of his normal repertoire and collecting skin samples of all his friends (and any available enemies) so he can produce new stands at will?

He's totally going to forget he can do this and it'll be like the damage-reflecting power isn't he?

Giorno's friends might not be OK with being cloned.

This is definitely my least favourite part so far as an anime only watcher just because of how much random bullshit Gold Experience is doing that has very little tentative explanation even in the handwavy realm of Jojo.

Like yeah, I get it, Star Platinum could stop time and Crazy Diamond could "imperfectly" repair things but Gold Experience seems an order of magnitude further in terms of crazy stuff it can do for no clear reason beyond plot contrivance.

It's introduced as "Giorno can make objects into living things (and those things sometimes home in on their owner/origin but sometimes don't)" and its turned into "I can heal wounds (maybe even death) and clone a turtle from a few cells and can remotely track where any thing I've given life is with startling accuracy even in a building I've never visited before with only some rough 2D blueprints and also sometimes can control the life GE has created"???

Yeah! But he turned the bullets into the parts of Mista's body that were damaged. Here, he just touched Bruno and instantly healed the hole in his gut, the tear through his left side, and restored all of his blood.
