if you've been doing a series for like 35 years it's probably a little bit unreasonable for someone to expect you to magically recreate a style you were using decades ago

I gotta admit, Jotaro in the new style has grown on me. I'd like to see part 3 in the new style, it'd probably feel a lot different with a Jotaro that actually looks 17 trying to sound badass before backing it up with an actually-still-swole Star Platinum

Araki drew Heaven Ascension Dio in something pretty close to the SDC style so presumably he can still do it, but chooses not to

Did he though? I thought that DIO was designed by CC2.

It's hard to explain since the game he's from covers Part 1 - Part 8. The easiest explanation is that it's a DIO that killed the cast of Part 3 and attained his goal of improving The World's capabilities.

it's basically explicitly weird fanfiction and has no relevance to the actual series by design

Kinda dropped off Part 5 but now got back into and only 5 episodes left.

Yo what happened to Koichi I thought he was gonna be the Joseph like in Stardust Crusaders orJotaro in part 4. He only appeared at the start to meet Giorno and thats it?

I agree it's weird that Koichi just fucks off to go on vacation but at some point in this series you have to get used to poo poo just getting dropped. I'd think less of it if Koichi's presence would have actually done anything to improve Part 5 as written, but I doubt it. It's kind of overstuffed and breakneck as it is.

what reason would koichi even have to want to stick around a bunch of murderous mafia people. it's literally a standard thing in the industry to have an old character briefly show up to ease into a new part and then focus on the new characters.

Yeah, Koichi was only there to make sure Giorno wasn't going to go Full Dio. He proved he wasn't a threat, so there's no point for Koichi to hang around.

Plus, yeah, Pt5's cast is already huge, it didn't need more people being around.

Koichi leaving made sense, it was honestly weirder that he showed up at all. I hope he had a nice vacation after that.

Plus that would’ve meant he was in his early 20’s, right? Which makes him just as ancient as Part 4 Joseph.

He went sightseeing.

Sadly, Part 5 does not really give that much of a gently caress about previous parts beyond establishing a few connections and here and there.

Koichi existed to be the Speedwagon of Part 5 until another Speedwagon role could be found.

Funnily enough it was one of Mista's bullets that really went whole horse into the role as a Speedwagon.

yeah actually they will

Part 5 cares so little about previous parts that Giorono being Dio's son amounts to absolutely nothing.

Koichi should've been in the background at the Colosseum on the phone with Jotaro chatting about how fun Italy has been, while at the same time Polnareff was lamenting how he's been unable to contact anyone for help out of fear of Passione intercepting his communications.
