Like as far as I know the rock people just want to, like, sell it. That makes them the bad guys, because

The Rock humans won't let anyone live that knows about their fruit racket(and doesn't want to buy any), it's just that this time Josuke is on the offensive.

The fruit they’re looking for is actually a special new strain of the fruit IIRC. Who wants what can be boiled down to Josuke, who wants to fix Holly; Damo and his group, who want it for their illegal fruit trade; Jobin, who was working with them and wants it to elevate the Higashikata fruit business; and the other rock people like Wu who seem to al be related to the hospital and possibly responsible for Holly’s condition. Holly was researching the fruit prior to Wu, and Wu was using it to actually treat his patients unlike Damo and his group. So unless I’m forgetting something (which is honestly pretty likely) there are/were two separate rock human groups that Josuke has made enemies of. Cato’s goal is still unknown, but considering she went to jail to cover for Jobin she’s most likely on his side. Tsurugi is the only other Higashikata with a clear goal, which was to help Josuke then to help his dad, but who knows what’s going on with him now.

so next regular episode of the show probably has sound effects for the intro, right? i think this is about where trish gets her stand if memory serves correct plus the overall directional shift of the show

This is good. I should re-read feedback at some point. I guess after the anime would make sense.

Makes sense the next OP is apparently called Traitor's Requiem and they are traitors now.

TheLoneStar posted:Honestly the Part is still a blur to me despite having read through it several times. If I recall right, trying to find Josuke's quest to find out who he is somehow got tangled up with the Rock People, and the group sort of cast the first stone at him and he just kind of retaliated. Only now Josuke explicitly wants the fruit to help Holly. Jojolion is a straight up mess

Also Jojolion is a loving trip and is somewhat more clear rereading it after the Damo fight, how I'm just bummed out waiting for the next issue. Also still love how Gappy goes ora while beating people up.

I see the anime thread discussing why Bruno did not die and I kick back and cross my legs knowing the answer is "He just didn't"

Having his death skipped makes more sense than what actually happened.

Gold Experience gave him the life energy needed to actually move and poo poo while Bruno just had the R E S O L V E to repossess his body in the first place.

All space manipulation stand users get one free ticket to reject death. Vanilla Ice just wasted his.

Basically Part 5 is a bad story. At least it has a couple of cool fights.

I honestly think the answer is just that Gold Experience gave life to his corpse. It doesn't actually get explained but

it doesn't really need much explaining. out of the dumb poo poo that actually exists in part 5 i'm pretty fine with 'overabundance of energy from giorno's dumb stand lets bruno exist as a walking corpse for a bit'

Bruno being a revenant out of sheer determination is actually pretty cool and good, and fits both his character and the pre-existing logic of JJBA. Part 3 has ghosts hanging around for a few moments after death, and Part 4 has a central ghost character who sticks around because of their unresolved business. It's not like he doesn't die.

The way it's portrayed in the anime it really just looks like he decided to not die and Giorno's healing just taped up the body instead of actually saving him. Considering he also makes a turtle with a stand (something I completely forgot about) it could've been Giorno too though with how much bullshit he pulls I guess.

Him possessing his dead corpse out of sheer DETERMINATION/Gold Experience possibly giving it extra life is my canon to his current status. Juries out on having no blood at all though
