Purple Haze is actually incredibly dangerous to Diavolo. It's virus is invisible and affects everything in the area so he can't just dodge it as easily as he can everything else with his time-skip and the virus doesn't show signs fast enough to be able to foresee it with Epitaph, which only see's ten seconds into the future.

If he tries to do his usual plan of teleporting in close and immediately attacking there's still a not insignificant chance of a bulb breaking and him getting infected. And I don't think he can skip passed his entire body melting.

Do you think fugo was written out because he’s a direct counter or because araki wanted trish instead and that would have been too many people

I'm glad I wasn't the only one confused about how Narancia's death worked there. I guess the real reason is that Araki loved the scary things he could do with The World so much he couldn't resist repeating them.

I'm pretty sure the confirmed reason is that originally Fugo was going to betray the gang, but Araki couldn't bring himself to write it.

So Diavalo is in Polnareff's body, right? If Bruno's corpse is good enough for a soul, I don't see why his wouldn't be.

I feel like I recall seeing this in an interview.

I'm inclined to believe this is the reason that Chocolate has a similar power and also gets an absurdly long beating that would be appropriate for a traitor (aside from him being a horrible murderer, of course), not to mention Giorno already having a vaccine for PH.

If it went Diavalo->Polnareff->Turtle that would mean the turtle must be in Buccellati, which doesn't seem to be the case since it got up.

yeah, that's 100% the reason he gave in an interview. jojo was a weekly publication for forever so i can imagine after a point he'd been planning it but just wasn't feeling it when it came time.

Also, I have no idea how they expected Giorno to heal that steel rod through the head.


"I wish Abbacchio and Fugo were here to see me now, only one day away from retirement."


Giorno didn't die when his body was killed.

A steel rod through the head seems like a perfect situation for Giorno's brand of healing. He's got all the raw materials he needs right there.

Well the crux of the problem is that we have 1 more soul than body no matter what happens. My thinking is the turtle soul got overwritten because it's a dumb animal, or Diavolo is hiding inside someone as a second personality, kind of like he hides in Doppio without Doppio realizing it.

Actually he's probably in Mista's body with Trish which is why she can't sense him.

watching it with my brother, he spent the first half of the episode thinking that the turtle was actually Diavolo (since he was the only one we didn't see using their stand), and Polnareff was the one in Bucchirati's body.

Key phrase there "now that I'm so badly injured". Polnareff was fully "healed" when he threw the wheelchair, not to mention 2 legs lighter(which probably evens out with the wheelchair really).

Also, Silver Chariot lifted Polnareff in his debut when it had barely any injuries, so there's precedent.

Wouldn't breaking metal bars and impaling a body on them make noise though?

I think 99% of all TV and movie would be rendered useless if realistic noise detection was in play. All these people sneaking up on each other and they never get detected because they're protected by a swelling orchestra or pop music playing in their world, all the while wearing like triple layers of clothes rubbing on each other.

irl the noise your shoe makes when creating friction while crouching down in an empty building is like a gunshot. Ironically, the opposite happens with gunshots in fiction where it's only as loud as human speech and someone two rooms down probably won't hear it.

The what now?

Also, I'm starting to think that most of the "Araki forgot" moments are actually what makes Jojo so good. It allows for unexpected absurdity that, at best, makes for a very good comedy. At worst, we get two coffins problem, but let's not talk about that now. Let's take Joseph in part 3, for example. Can you imagine how boring he would be if all he could do with his spirit sense is break cameras? The first joke is good, because it's so specific. He even mentions the price! But as time would go on, it would get stale. Instead, his ability ramps up to using TVs for sound, using TV to get an x-ray of himself, using ash... Same can be said about Star Finger, Polnareff shooting his sword, etc. It's all loving weird, but it works as a one-off joke/cool moment.

Really, they're all just clever applications of their existing powers. That's the main appeal of Stands.
