I like the song for the opening but yeah visual-wise it’s way too literal and obvious.

The lyrics do have a bit more hinting at a horrible thing under the cheery disposal. Also what spoilers that are in it, are a good way of doing spoilers in that it's vague as gently caress shadows of stand users flying by with no detail/context at all which I love.

So this week we've got to see Doppio mirk the fortune teller, right?

Going by the number of chapters left they would pretty much have to. It wouldn't surprise me if the second half of this week's episode is the beginning of Doppio's adventure on Sardinia as well.

So, uh, in the ED today I noticed Rolling Stones at the bottom of the statue. That wasn't there before, right?

And that also let me figure out why King Crimson is near the top in the middle of Bruno's gang: because the Stands are in the order they're defeated. DavidPro aren't just spoiling who lives and dies with this one, they're telling you the order they die as well! :v:

I'm completely fine with the conclusion of last week's fight taking up most of this episode if it means that Doppio gets an entire episode to himself. Given how long it lasted in the manga the King Crimson vs. Metallica fight will almost certainly get two episodes :allears:

I wonder if DavidPro will include more backstory for Diavolo/Doppio, they've done pretty well with the new scenes they've included so far. It isn't necessary but it would also be cool if the first time Doppio uses a phone it's shown from his point of view before cutting back and showing him talking into a toy or frog.

Rolling Stone's always been there. Big and Spice Girl were added in this one though, I think.

IIRC this is the only proper Stand fight Trish gets to herself. Poor girl really doesn't get enough time to shine.

I kind of wonder if Araki thought so too considering just about everything involving Part 6.

I don't even remember her using Spice Girl again except for one instance in the very last fight, where she stops Diavolo from walking.

She makes mistas bullets soften when King Crimson softens them so can blow them off to send the arrow flying away. She gets chest punched in the direction of the arrow for her trouble.

I think Araki really missed out on an opportunity with neglecting Trish tbh. Considering King Crimson is still just a punch boy you could have a hilarious fight where Trish makes herself soft and Diavolo goes nuts trying to kill her and can only ever bounce off no matter how much time he skips.

I think it'd work better for the plot too, as he could realise that she basically perfectly counters him and that he needs to get the arrow to win. Either way she really should have had a bigger role in confronting her father at the end imo.

Trish's also the first woman in the series with a proper punch ghost stand and her power is pretty good and versatile. I was anticipating her doing much more in the rest of the part by this point in the manga, but it just didn't happen

I don't think Trish Vitamin C-ing herself would be quite the decisive counter-move you're making it out to be

On another note the anime is making me realize how little Narancia gets to do anything either. So far he's only used his stand in a significant way twice. It's essentially been Giorno, Mista and Buccelati doing everything.

Aerosmith is like

Kind of a bad Stand.

It allows for zero creativity and only has the one thing it can do, which is the same thing Mista can do but Mistas limitations allow him look way cooler

I don't know, Vitamin C was more like turning people into mush while Spice Girl seems to just give the things she touches the properties of rubber while also making them unbreakable (hence why B.I.G. couldn't just kill everyone after it ate the plane engine).

That being said, I don't think they ever really establish if Spice Girl could even work on living things. I wonder what that would have even looked like but I guess F.F. kind of answered that question.

Aerosmith kind of suffers from the same problem Purple Haze does where the instant Narancia has an opening he can instantly murk whoever he's fighting, or at least gently caress them up real bad. Little Feet was almost over before it began. :v:

It makes about as much sense as Jolyne turning herself into a mobius strip or Bruno splitting himself up. When it is the user's own ability it implies they are in control of the side effects somewhat, plus the rule of cool benefits them for going with a plan that crazy and risky.

who, me?


Are we just assuming Part 5 is going to be 39 episodes like Diamond is Unbreakable? There's really not many "arcs" left and we're only on episode 25. I'm worried the stuff after they get to the Colosseum is gonna be insanely drawn-out and even more unbearable.

Like, even if the Doppio stuff to the defeat of Green Day and Oasis was somehow stretched out to six episodes, and Rolling Stone was somehow two, that's another six episodes of just Colosseum nonsense.

It's confirmed for 39 episodes.

54 remaining chapters into 14 episodes doesn't feel that bad to me, that gives them about four chapters an episode and along with any extra scenes they want to add

Yeah, exactly. Spice Girls version makes things either super bouncy or just keep stretching without ever breaking. King Crimson's punches would bounce off, his chop would just sink into her and if he tried to snap her neck it'd just twist around and spring back.

I mean its part 5 with Giorno as the protagonist. "I don't think they ever really established if" isn't a question to ask for this part. Spice Girl could do it if Araki thought it would be cool.
