Shocked I tell you

Expect My Mom posted:

There's also Doppio saying that the future he sees will happen in a few seconds and then spending like a minute arguing with the Boss about it

Also what? Risotto knew that Doppio was the Boss, that's what his whole speech about 16th century germany and multiple personalities about it. It's what "I can't wait to see your true face" was about. He sees this complete stranger acting incredibly weird in this out of the way but important place who can see Stands and puts it together. There was no info that Risotto thought Doppio had, he just wanted him dead

He did not figure out Doppio was the boss for till near the end.

I'm starting to understand the boss's need to hide himself now, because he's apparently exceptionally bad at keeping his identity hidden even when he can literally hide in someone else's body.

Also I hope the boss gets an actual name soon so I can use that.

The biggest downside of Risotto's power is that it's extremely difficult to translate to a fighting game moveset.

Abbachio is still like a big guy, and it seems like if your stand is humanoid it can do at least some limited punchghosting.

Yeah, between ASB and EoH, only Bruno's group (plus Trish and minus Abbacchio) and THE BOSS are playable characters.

I'd like to see a moveset for Moody Blues, but he doesn't really do anything beyond punching and kicking a little bit. What would his ultimate attack even be? Turning into Abbacchio and choking you a little bit?

You could probably do weird poo poo with moody blues where you'd start a combo and hit a thing and blues would copy what you did so you could combo off of yourself.

I think he wanted to interrogate Doppio at first, since he mentions he thought he was just a high-ranking operative, but when he realizes he's The Boss he starts making his attacks purposefully more lethal.

Granted, he did try to cut open his throat with scissors before that point, so :shrug:
All of his attacks before he mentions the split personality, even the scissors in throat, looked like they were designed to incapacitate doppio for interrogation rather than outright kill him. His attacks increase in lethality with his confidence that he's found The Bossu. I mean, he can apparently materialize razor blades in your brain?

Edit: I looked back at it and Nero might have significant limitations on where he can materialize metal in your body. He didn't put the razor blades in the brain it was just under the skin but above the skull. So open spaces in your body and under your skin. But maybe he can just mirk someone by putting a block of metal in someone's heart, and he was building up to an absolutely lethal attack because he didn't want fully lethal attacks yet. Who knows it's a punchmans anime!

100% agreed. Traitor's Requiem isn't bad, or even the least-good JoJo OP (because they're all good), but Fighting Gold is in the running for best OP in mind.

Maybe there isn't enough blood(and thus iron) in the brain to make razors out of.

Also destroying someone's throat for interrogation seems counterproductive.

I think this latest fight is probably the tightest stand battle in the anime so far. I'm not sure if it's the best but it's the most internally consistent. I mean you could nitpick the scientific inaccuracies or the way the passage of time doesn't correspond to the actual screen time but as far as plotting goes it doesn't break any of its own rules.The twist ending didn't feel cheap because Aerosmith's presence was already known and it was instigated by Doppio's actions.

Also I like how part 5 has reused and refined certain ideas from past parts. Like how Epitath's future vision was similar to Thoth in part 3, but more detailed and in a more serious context.

That's how you get tinnitus

Doppio took a while to asphyxiate because, as has been seen many times before, JoJo characters have much more blood in their bodies than ordinary people

This conveniently also works for "there's not enough iron in your blood to make all those things"
