yeah actually they will posted:

the more i think about diavolo's guard squad the more out of place squalo and tiziano seem. like they were just two relatively normal guys who managed to parlay their personal relationship into a working relationship or vice versa

They were Doppio's friends, really

Dio's theme song was the only good thing to come out of the Phantom Blood movie

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MztTCT2PLC0

It's so weird as a song for Part 1 but also it fuckin' slaps poo poo and as many AMVs have shown, actually kinda fits for Part 3.

Also, even if the movie is garbo, I kinda want it to be found just for archival's sake. It's weird to think that such a high-profile (in Japan) movie from as recent as 2007 is just lost.

The film has a lot of baffling changes, although Dio turning something into a castle through vampire magic is hilarious and should have been in the source material.

quote:

  • Dio's inner monologues are not depicted. His motives for bullying Jonathan are never explained.
  • The boxing match, rugby game and Jonathan's first encounter with Erina are omitted.
  • Two extra scenes are added: one where Dio steps on Jonathan's necklace from Erina and another where Jonathan hurts himself on a needle Dio places in his bed.
  • The concept of the Ripple is not explained clearly. The Ripple's dexterity is also never demonstrated, it is treated as a "fighting energy" used to power up Jonathan's punches.
  • Robert E. O. Speedwagon is presented as a minor villain; he is defeated at Ogre Street and is never mentioned again.
  • Jonathan's fight with Jack the Ripper is omitted.
  • Dio uses his vampiric power to transform his hideout in Windknight's Lot into a giant castle.
  • Dio does not meet the protagonists in the graveyard; the Dark Knights, Bruford and Tarkus are already waiting for them and are taken out quickly by Jonathan's Ripple Overdrive.
  • The scene where Bruford names gives his sword to Jonathan and names it LUCK & PLUCK is omitted.
  • Tonpetty appears by himself. The characters Poco, Dire and Straizo are not featured.
  • Tonpetty's flashback with Zeppeli takes place on a cliff as opposed to a tightrope over the Tibetan temple. Tonpetty reading Zeppeli's future also causes a shockwave that blows away the surrounding clouds.
  • The scene where Zeppeli, Jonathan and Dio clash under the moon takes place after Jonathan defeats the Dark Knights and in proximity of Dio's castle. Dialogue between Dio and Zeppeli, including the famous "bread" line, is omitted.
  • Dio counters Zeppeli's Ripple with his freezing technique and Jonathan intervenes in a scene similar to the manga. Zeppeli is killed in this encounter, however, in a manner not unlike Dire's death. The specifics behind the freezing technique and why it counters Ripple are not explained.
  • Zeppeli's hair does not turn white when he passes his life energy to Jonathan.
  • During their fight, Dio fires off multiple Space Ripper Stingy Eyes at Jonathan with poor accuracy. Dio's explanation on how the technique works is omitted.
  • Jonathan does not light his gloves on fire to counter Dio's freezing technique. He instead overcomes it by "powering up" during their clash.
  • The ship Jonathan and Erina board sails through the Pacific Ocean instead of the Atlantic Ocean. This is an error as Erina is still rescued near the Canary Islands.
  • The baby Elizabeth is omitted from the movie. In the manga, Erina chooses to die with Jonathan but is persuaded after he asks her to save the baby. In the movie, she enters the coffin without Jonathan saying anything.

Having read the King Crimson vs. Metallica fight again in preparation for it being in the anime in a few weeks there's something in it that I didn't notice the last time I read it: Doppio is the only person (that I can remember) in this part that throws non-stand punches when fighting and doesn't use his stand to punch separately from himself. Diavolo uses King Crimson to donut everyone but Doppio just puts its arms over his own so he can punch harder. Doppio is clearly the best pure striker in Passione.

They are talking about how Doppio just overlays King Crimson's arms over his own arms to make him punch better.

Yup, he even says that he hates using Cioccolata and Secco and that they disgust him, but they're a total last resort.

So wait, notorious BIG caused giorno to write a bunch of stuff about itself and also made giorno take some severed fingers onto the plane? Or did the stand do that by itself by hiding in his sleeve or something?

No the stand wrote the stuff (how is good question but it's not really that important), also it moved to the plane after the plane took off, moving super fast then went to the fridge and he started reforming itself forming corpse parts (the fingers). When bruno threw it outside, it flew back to the fastest moving object (the plane) again. It's constantly reforming itself and growing in size.

this is some "To The Ball That Hit The Net"/Johnny carrying Gyro's casket onto the boat type ED

I love Johnny getting a Fleetwood Mac Stand where the other JoJo's get Hendrix, Prince, Floyd, just really sells him as this Tragic Joestar for me. he's a sad boy

I'm pretty sure it attached to Giorno's hand when he went to confirm Carne was dead. Why it did all that other stuff is a mystery though.
