I really like the new hair for that character, it used to be purple and he was all one color which maybe wasnt the best choice

I don't think you can really render a virus inert with cold assuming Purple Haze is a regular virus but a overcharged horrifying flesh eating disease.

The Ice would block it, and he could cover his breathing holes while he ran out of range.

Honestly, if Araki felt he wrote himself into a corner with Purple Haze's power he could've just ignored what it did in its first appearance and write new limited powers for the next time, it's not like he hasn't done that multiple times before.

i think i posted this way earlier in the thread but i sent my friend who knows nothing of jojo the boat dance and all he says back is "why did i just watch three homosexuals dance in front of a severed head?"

Every time I see Goatse, I think of Maureen. That's the last thing I saw. Before I blacked out. The sight of that man's anus.

Araki has stated that he was depressed at the time he wrote this part and couldn't bear to have the boys turn on each other. That's why Fugo doesn't go along with the rest of the group.

Can anyone else not see the name "Narancia" without automatically hearing it in Fugo's copyright-free voice anymore? (NARANCIA, you need to go to a store and buy some stuff??)


Or is that just me?

Just you from over here but I feel your pain. Nothing will overpower my correct internal pronunciation for the best boy.

At this point I find it really hard to separate my thoughts on both versions in general, sort of like what happens with DB's English voices and TFS.

Also I giggle like a goddamn idiot every time I see anything drug-related because I have copyright-free Giorno's face popping into my head, "droogs" included.

Sorry to undo the effort of paying a domestic abuser $10 to own this poster, but I am going to lose my dang mind if I keep seeing multiple posters who appear to be Baloogan.

Oh man, that part where that second face grows on his forehead was weird. And I’ve gotta say, Metallica to Metallic is one of the simplest name changes so far.

Something I'm kinda disappointed by is that they cut out the minor detail that Doppio starts to get a headache right before he switches to The Boss.

Edit: Oh, I'm wrong! He doesn't get a headache the first time.

Yeah this section of the story gets roooough. Even Doppio sticking his finger behind the dude's eye made me flinch

the manga makes it a lot more brutal imo (spoiled for gore)

Either stand users heal faster than normal people or Doppio has the highest durability of any non-undead character in the series :stare:

JoJo characters have always been able to take horrific amounts of abuse, Vanilla Ice basically carved Polnareff to bits and he was fine again at the end of the same fight. Really if you want anything to stick against a Stand user it's either got to be 500 consecutive punches or a hole through the chest.

yeah actually they will

Not to mention Bruno unquestionably having been punched right through the spine/ribs and still being able to somewhat fight afterwards.

jojo will never be the series to look to for realism in terms of proper handling of wounds

which i guess is for the best, it would slow down way too much if it gave a poo poo about that

Risotto's stand is horrific but the eyeball stuff made me look away. Jojo, so far, always got some gruesome body horror stuff

Part 1 - Dio playing with Jonathan's neck veins

Part 2 - Santana jumping inside Stroheim's open leg wound

Part 3 - Yellow Temperance and the dog

Part 4 - Jotaro's hand and the couple inside the fridge during the Ratt arc.

You know, maybe it's because I haven't read it in a while but I swear I don't recall the manga being nearly so explicit about what Doppio's deal was at this point.

Beyond the fact that Doppio is shown more in the flashback, this is how the manga handled it at this point.
