Not unless you feel you're desperately in need of a recap on what's happened so far.

I don't know, this was pretty cool for a recap episode. It's still a recap episode but I like how they put it together.

what was tony soprano's stand

edit: also only just now watching part 5 after binging through the rest for the first time over the last few months; the antics of this angry murder crew have been pretty entertaining so far

I'm not really sure why midichlorians needed to be a thing in Jojo.

Much like midichlorians, the virus thing never actually matters and is ignored going forward.

Not the first or the last stupid explanations for things in JoJos. Jojos is all about further dumb explanations for everything.

I dunno it makes about as much sense as "The Joestar family's stands all turn on because Dio's back." I figured it wasn't literally declaring that as the reason all stands exist, but just the way that the arrow does it.

Trite, contrived, mediocre, milquetoast, amateurish, infantile, cliche-and-gonorrhea-ridden paean to conformism, eye-fucked me, affront to humanity, war crime, should *literally* be tried for war crimes, talentless fuckfest, pedantic, listless, savagely boring, just one repulsive laugh after another
I said it once and I'll say it again: Green day should have instead been called Down With The Sickness

yeah like it's saying stands come from a strong will, and the virus serves as a test for said strong will

That's a bit of an oversimplification of the actual explanation: Dio returns, now attached to Jonathan's body. At some point, he meets up with Enya, who pierces him with the Stand Arrow. Dio gets The World for himself, but also (temporarily?) develops Hermit Purple because he's attached to Jonathan's body. The psychic connection that the Joestars have to Jonathan causes them all to develop Stands as well.

Araki really seems to like having psychic bloodline connections. It's why you have things like Enya suddenly bleeding from the same injuries J. Geil had when he died or Trish being able to magically sense Diavolo when he's near.

Yeah i don't really have a problem with the space virus stuff either. Maybe i should? The difference between Fantastical Disease Makes You Sick And Die Or You Have The Will To Overcome It vs Magical Artifact Makes You Sick And Die Or You Have The Will To Overcome It just doesn't feel that distinct to me, nor does it feel like a retcon made to pave over stuff. My only gripe is that it gets rid of people being able to be born with Stands, like Tonio or Rohan, your personality and passions giving you power. In that explanation, i like the idea that Kira got Killer Queen naturally rather than his dad just stabbing him for some reason.

These upcoming episodes are gonna be rad, Ciocolotta and Secco look great. Mista love of shooting poo poo that explodes pays off big, I love him.

Rohan explicitly stated he was hit by the arrow. And people still are able to be born with stands, several of the part 3 characters were.

most likely people who were born with stands had someone in their ancestors who got hit by an arrow

that explains dio/joestars, diavolo/trish etc
