My favourite thing about the last episode was how Jotaro was only able to survive due to DIO narrating his actions out loud

He, DIO, did not get the most powerful Stand so that he, DIO, could get called Mister not tell everyone about it.

When was it supposed to be out originally? I read a few weeks ago that the dub was A Thing That Was Happening but I didn't ever look into it any further.

Joseph's voice actor in English is apparently Ben Diskin, who's been in a fair amount of stuff, but it's all either something I don't know, as an "additional voice" or super minor role, or a role where he's doing a really non-standard voice that doesn't help me picture what he'd sound like as Joseph.

He was Number 1 in Kid's Next Door, supposedly. It must have been a decade and half since I saw that, but should be easy to find examples.

I never saw Kids Next Door since I was already too old for it by the time it aired so I went to YouTube for examples. Um, there are way too many AMVs with serious songs for this kid's show. Googling the VA's name brought me his Twitter where I see he's already making "next you'll say...!" jokes so I can only surmise that the role is in good hands. I know it's been over a decade since I first got into anime, but I still can't shake memories of the early 00s where people would ask the voice actor of a main character "what's your favorite part of (anime)?" and the answer would be "to be honest I've never actually watched an episode and I don't even know what the plot is!"

The only bad thing is that THE WORLD doesn't sound even remotely as awesome and over-the-top as ZA WARUDO.
Other than that, I'll definitely check out the dub.

He should just inexplicably shout "El...MUNDO!" Everyone in the US would understand it anyway so it basically counts as English. (Disclaimer: I live in Texas so my perception of how many people know basic Spanish may be skewed.)

Switch all of the gratuitous English to gratuitous Spanish. Have Joseph shout AY DIOS MIO. Do it.

I know this is being pedantic as poo poo, but after years hearing tokio tomare or whatever it was, it's weird when dio says it backwards, or maybe it's the correct way in fact

ChaosArgate

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

I read somewhere that "toki wo tomare" isn't grammatically correct, but that's more a stylistic thing to convey that DIO is telling time itself to stop, as opposed to telling The World to stop time.

Dio says "Toki Yo Tomare", that's why people say it's incorrect.

My Japanese is very rusty, and was never good in the first place, but my understanding is that "wo" refers to the object. "I drink Sprite" would be "watashi wa (wa being the particle for the subject) Sprite wo (object) nomimasu (drink)". "yo" is like an exclamation mark, and "tomare" is the imperative form.

So "toki wo tomare" doesn't make grammatical sense, but "toki yo tomare' would be "CLOCK! STOP!"

Like has been mentioned previously, it's DIO being a dick to time itself.

Its black mist swallows all.

Because it keeps coming up I found a scan from the original Japanese version where he shouts his line. Unsurprisingly it's the grammatically correct option.

The grammatically incorrect version was people mishearing the Capcom audio. There's really not much difference between actually saying "wo" or "yo" in the first place.

Ever take a moment to consider that the concept of grammar is wrong and DIO was correct?

I have to conclude that everyone in Stardust Crusaders is actually speaking English. Joseph is lazy as gently caress and would never learn Japanese, let alone any other second language. I happen to have gone to college with a guy who was both French and an idiot, so I absolutely believe that Polnareff can speak English, and I never doubted that Avdol could speak English since lots of North Africans are polyglots by necessity. And I guess Jotaro would speak English because of his mom (his English speaking credentials are the most suspect, to be honest.) Therefore the grammar issue is moot as Araki was actually eavesdropping into an alternate universe in which all this happened and feverishly translating everything he heard from English to Japanese.

So I presume this is going to be the final episode, unless the OVA cut out something big.

I wonder how they will handle the finale but I'm afraid the censor will ruin it.
