Gold Experience's power is just "does whatever"

it's part of why Giorno is kinda the weak link of part 5 so far(that and Bruno upstaging him constantly)

I just had a realization about DIO at the beginning of part 3:
He's been down too long in the midnight sea.

There's a reason some people were saying they wanted Holy Diver as the ED for the second season of SC.

Also, I really want to see what DIO was like aftwr he got out of the coffin for the first time in 100 years, but in a way it's scarier not knowing.

I definitely think that the guy literally called Double who hasn't aged a day since he burned his hometown down probably isn't the original. Seems to me that Doppio is the creation of a self-aware monster whose paranoia led him to turn his outward-facing shell into an entire new person in order to better disguise himself. The phone thing in particular seems like it's very much for internal consumption - they have to convince themselves that they're two separate people whenever that duality is under threat and Doppio gets Boss-like urges, even if it's an obvious, childish lie executed ridiculously. I don't think it's a coincidence that Doppio gets the Boss's sub-Stand, either - like it, he's a lesser, detached element of a greater whole.

His name is Doppio after a double shot of espresso. I don't know where you're getting this whole disguise nonsense from.

I mean, he straight up turns into the boss, voice and all, and uses King Crimson.

Also, given circumstances with Trish, there's no reason to assume he'd be okay with having another child.

I’ll say as someone who hasn’t read this part:
I thought it might be a split personality deal, or that boss is possessing doppio with his stand somehow (because frankly it wouldn’t be the first time that a stand had two powers for no reason).

Maybe that’s dumb in retrospect but I just didn’t think it was that cut and dry yet.

Dio's first drink after getting out was a 7UP and he's been hooked on it since.

One of three things happened, either

1) Murders everyone one the boat, discovers the bridge, tries everything but can't figure it out and has to swim to land and, no thanks

2) Murders everyone, discovers the bridge, and through sheer gumption figures out how to make the boat go

3) One poor bastard was left alive and have to drive him to land or else, who was then also promptly murdered afterwards

I'm going with three myself. And can you imagine him riding on something that can fly through the sky that also has what's basically maids on it?

the boat that brought up the coffin was found abandoned at sea with their coffee still warm and the coffin open so the idea is that DIO just leapt into the sea once it was night i guess

DIO is 100% a MacGyver fan

As is Jotaro actually. I think Jotaro might be the bigger fan of the two if anything. I don't think he'd ever rock the mullet like DIO does but that's because Jotaro is a secret huge dork and wouldn't embrace it.

That's the end of my part 3 fan theory
