I think Bruno might be up there with Joseph in terms of being able to come up with creative uses for his stand.

the only part of this fight that felt like bullshit was bucciarati starting to melt for no reason. if he could make people melt from the beginning, which he clearly can because he said he was gonna turn the kid into mud, why wouldn't he have just done that from the beginning

I believe the implication is that he's crushed along with the rest of the garbage.

Yeah the joke is that they're both getting crushed in the morning garbage pick up. Though I will say I thought it was dumb how it looks like Secco just walks into it rather than a panicked fall

Secco's whole goal was capturing Bruno's face as he experiences torture and a slow death for Ciccolata so he doesn't wanna just melt him instantly. There's some element of curiousty in Secco to find out what's going on with Burno's body. Bruno was also able to keep away from Secco pretty well despite Secco having better speed so there's a ton of times he could've just liquified him.

oh yeah fair point

could have melted him from the waist down though, then it's slow and he can capture it, but also in a stand fight that probably wouldnt work

there's some element of curiosity in ME to find out what the gently caress's going on with bruno but we'l find out eventually

I haven't read the manga, but I feel like we've already gotten all we're going to on what's up with bruno. He's a zombie running on a time limit and his time limit's just about run out.

His conversation with Giorno was the explanation.

But yeah, he's basically got FMA Brotherhood Alphonse Elric's "Oh no, my soul might be rejected from this body and pass to the afterlife soon" thing going on at this point. Only he has his actual body.

dont really think the bruno v secco fight translated well from manga to animation. bruno zippering poo poo in front of him and running though it looks weird.

That one scene where Secco is chasing after Bruno, and Bruno is running while Secco's body is static and curved looked really awkward.

Reading the manga, I always thought that was a weird veil over Polnareff's eye not an eyepatch with an eye and scar drawn on it.

At least, I think that's what it was. He didn't blink in any of his scenes.

Polnareff was my least favorite Stardust Crusader and I was pretty pissed when he was the only one to survive without being a Joestar. But I guess Jojo characters get better as they get older. I doubt the Polnareff of part 3 would be able to figure out a secret property of the arrow and come up with a plan on his own to make sure only the right people find out about it. Polnareff a meathead who can't keep his mouth shut's a plot point of part 3, that's why they didn't tell him about Avdol

i think there kind of needs to be a fresh wound so what he makes can actually heal into them and 'bind', unless you think body parts work like velcro

I mean, presumably that's one of the things Giorno was trying to do when he pumped Bruno full of life energy back in Venice, and Bruno straight up told Secco in this episode that his heart was no longer beating, so... :shrug:
