Any of those fights might have been fine individually but holy crap that entire sequence just went on for way too long and it's especially noticeable because one of the strengths of part 6 is its really fast pacing but the plot just slowed down to a drag there.

I guess thats cool and so is the part where hes defeated by turning his legs into hosed up bone springs for no reason. Definitely some strong "bookends" for that fight.

yeah actually they will

the part that annoyed me the most about part 6 was how when all of DIO's sons were converging, there was a single inter-chapter text box saying "You might be wondering where Giorno is? The answer to that is, maybe he is actually in the area, but just slightly out of frame in every panel"

If he wanted to stop him from using the position magic he could have broken his legs or something... frankly I think annasui was just looking for an excuse to turn someones legs into hosed up bone springs.

Yeah, but Planet Waves itself is still great and I don't think Dragon's Dream or Yo-yo Ma or whatever other fights come out of Survivor make it less great.

I'm flipping through random Part 4 volumes and something just hit me: why didn't Jotaro or Rohan or anyone have Joseph use Hermit Purple to get a spirit photo of who Kira impersonated?

One thing I really liked about part 4 was that everyone was equally as stupid as everyone else, so this never really bothered me. You have stuff like Akira making sure no one is able to find him by... coming to Josuke and friends and telling them his plan to kill Joseph. Then you have Joseph, who's entire reason for coming was to use Hermit Purple to find the killer, never actually do it because ??? Then the main villain of the arc is found out entirely because he decided to yell out his own name very loudly in public.

Joseph is a poor senile old man, cut him some slack. He doesn't even remember Jotaro's name half the time and keeps calling Josuke "Stroheim" for some reason.

Giorno's last conscious thought before the universe reset was "Here the gently caress is Mickey!"

That's how you get tinnitus

Clearly when Dio fathered Giorno he hadn't finished properly integrating with Jonathon's body yet, making Giorno more Jonathon's son than Dio's. That's why he's counted as part of the Joestar bloodline and why he wasn't drawn to Cape Canaveral

The other Sons of Dio were conceived later after it had become almost entirely Dio's body

They look older than Giorno because Araki doesn't understand such trivial mortal concerns as "aging"

I'm pretty sure that ties everything up neatly

Yeah, that's probably what I'm going to go with from now on. Still, it's kinda weird since Joseph was expressly brought to Morioh so they could get a photo of a guy who they hadn't actually seen but were actively pursuing.

They brought him so that Hermit Purple could search the power lines for Red Hot Chili Pepper with its infinite-rope ability, not the spirit photography ability.

Though you're right that he took the spirit photograph of Angelo, so it's odd that he couldn't get one of Kira. Maybe he was just too senile at that point?

The angelo photograph was because he kept trying to get photos of josuke but ended up with photos of angelo because angelo was dangerous and on the loose and was going to go after josuke.

No photographs after that because josuke was never in any real danger of being murdered by Kira at random since all Kira wanted to do was keep a low profile. At least, until Kira got Bites the Dust and went on the offensive
