No, look more carefully. That hand has a yellow stripe on the cuff.

I've never been to Japan, but I would imagine there's a certain stigma to gay things, just like everywhere, so Araki just denies poo poo that's incredibly obvious. I mean, sure, he gets inspired by poses from various fashion magazines and whatnot, but you'd have to live with wolves to not understand why "dudes touching each other (sometimes very close to the crotch) and having pronounced butts while doing effeminate poses" is seen as gay.
I totally believe that he knows what he's doing also because, if I remember right, he's fairly progressive, and always wanted more diverse characters. I'm also pretty sure I've seen that some character is bi, or maybe gay, canonically.

While it's most likely not the intended subtext, I kinda like to think like Abbacchio is in love with Bruno, because he always acts like a petty jealous bastard. Why the gently caress would he piss in the teapot otherwise.

Because getting up to go to the restroom was :effort: and he wanted to haze the new guy. Two birds, one stone.

I dunno if I'd say Abbacchio is in love with Bruno exactly, but it definitely seems like he doesn't like Giorno hanging around him.

That's likely due to the way Giorno is introduced, though. Suddenly Bruno adds this kid to the gang they've never met and he even chats with him like they're old friends. It's got to be annoying for a guy like Abbacchio to think he's not being let in on something.

abbachio x bruno is the biggest relationship flag in Part 5 and you'd have to be blind to miss it. Abbacchio constantly says how little purpose he has outside of following Bruno, is the first to get on the boat, he always trusts him, and is confused why Bruno is suddenly trusting Giorno so much.

Hell, David Prod added the scene of them meeting in the rain together

It's semi-secret canon that Bruno gave Abbacchio a special zipper to use for smooching when they're away on jobs.

I just realized that Epitaph is reverse Thoth. It predicts you getting badly hurt, but when the prediction comes true it was your opponent that got hit

ChaosArgate

Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?

I wouldn’t describe Epitaph as reverse-Thoth, but they are incredibly similar in retrospect! They both show the user a snapshot of the future completely devoid of all context, so the user can make their own judgments about a situation, whether that means they think victory is assured (when Thoth showed a premonition of Jotaro’s face being split in two) or if it means the user needs to haul rear end to make it work out favorably (when Epitaph showed a foot being amputated).

Glad to know we're getting some goon representation with Secco. Some bizarre death fight and he's trying to start debates about who would win in a fight between Stand A and Stand B. I hope his next line is him debating whether White Album protects against Part 1 Dio's Ice Powers or vice-versa.

Speaking of White Album, was his ability to control absolute zero a mistranslation? The subs didn't say anything about WAGW doing that.

I think it was just badly worded; White Album can hit absolute zero and let it heat back up AFAIK. So in a sense control absolute zero.

Green Day cant be a threat to the boss because he can't get to the boss. If Ciocolotta ever stepped out on his own, then the boss could just send a fax to Risottos team with exactly what Green Day does and have them whack his rear end.

Hell, Baby Face would be a perfect counter, its immune to the mold and Melone can be miles away

yeah, for as deadly as green day is it mostly excels at 'widespread and unfocused killing' which is pretty dangerous but when you're trying to track down a single guy who is notoriously hard to pin down it would be kind of hard to surprise him in the least if you have literally no idea who he even is and he knows what you can do already

also if he started doing his poo poo without permission it would be absurdly simple to have someone go out and assassinate him

I'm guessing either of them killing the other would be a pain in the rear end and the boss is like "yeah i could do it but man i don't wanna deal with that guy's bullshit"

I'd just say Ciocolatta doesn't have the ambition or reason to kill the boss. Diavolo gives Ciocolatta cover to experiment with his influence and lets him off the leash to kill fools on camera. Ciocolatta is probably happy with that.

Probably, although I'd imagine that the effects of summoning The Sun in a populated area instead of in the middle of the Arabian desert would be pretty devastating, if not as gruesome.

Not many organisations that give you a more reliable supply of people to torture to death than the most powerful mafia in Italy, and Cioccolata probably can't stay presentable enough for long enough for any national intelligence agencies.

From the organization's perspective you send the hit squad when you want someone dead

when you want to send a message you send Cioccolatta and his gimp boy

Given that Cioccolatta gave the Hit Squad the gelatin parts of one of their buddies yes that would be the case.

I've always vaguely known about jojo since that capcom fighting game adaptation way back, but i never really cared for it. Mostly because it was all in japanese and i didn't understand a drat thing on the emulator.

Anyways I figured now's as good a time as any. I just binged watched all of Phantom Blood, Battle Tendency, and I'm up to the Steely Dan episode in Stardust Crusader.


This is my loving jam. I think the moment i was in was when the man introduced himself as R.E.O Speedwagon. "No loving way, are you for real right now?"

I was instantly hooked on the show when roundabout started playing before the credits in episode 2. I knew Jojo's had a lot of musical references but I never expected they'd license a decades old song in English. It completely surprised me but it seemed to fit so well.
