Don't shoot him?

yeah, narancia got impaled on the fence and diavolo kept skipping time so no one really knew what was happening but since things still technically 'happen' narancia was just bleeding out in the meanwhile amid all the confusion until they realized he was missing. by then it was too late.

Damn it, why it does need to remain only four bullets!?

Pretty much. Like a vampire feeding, you have to actively want to be looking for a requiem or "a way to win" to get a requiem, hand waved, plot hole explained.

It doesn't need explaining anyway. It's a plot hole, so be it.

Polnareff figured out that Requiem existed entirely by accident.

gold experience actually did go requiem then but no one knew what requiem stands were so it didn't come up. this explains why giorno's powers are so broken

His stand's creations stopped reflecting damage because it was already half requiem. Makes sense.

This is my favourite example of Araki just obviously forgetting a detail. Because the damage reflection happens literally once, in the first fight of the entire part, then never mentioned again.

I think that's less forgetting and more changing his mind and not being able to rewrite earlier chapters.

Pretty much. There's rarely much or anything to suggest he's forgetful, at least when he was young. A failure to re-occur doesn't imply forgetfulness.
D4C and King Crimson are prime cases of "I'm changing this stand's power because it's easier to write."

Killer Queen is kind of the same, but it's not even attempted to be covered and is legitimately acknowledged as such.

Doubtful. It's pretty iconic and besides, I like it when characters actually change clothes, rare as it may be.

I do miss parts 1 and 2 where the JoJos have actual wardrobes instead of exactly one set of clothes, but I get you need a character to have a consistent look

Part 6 is a good middle ground, I think we can agree.

It's weird, Jolyne gets a bunch of outfits, when she's reasonably the JoJo with the least reasoning to be able to change her clothes.

Hell, we're already 70-odd chapters deep on Pt8 and Gappy's still running around in stolen fetishwear.

If you looked as good in a sailor suit as Gappy, would you wear anything else?

Mr Yoshikage does not wear sailor suits as a fetish, he is an actual sailor and Mr Josuke stole the perfectly reasonable every day clothes that he hasn't changed even once!!!!

I know his name's josuke but he always comes across as more of a jotaro-type to me, what with being socially awkward as hell and general looks


I like how he's basically an otherworld version of 3 different characters combined.

jojolion's kira and kyo pretty much replace and/or bump off jotaro in the family tree as far as their position goes so the comparison probably isn't as far off as you might think it is

Okuyasu Nijimura
May 31, 2015


Yeh exactly, since Kira & Kyo occupy that and Gappy's absorbed Kira...

It's hard to have a firm grasp of what Josefumi was really like without reaching a little but it seems like Gappy's more aloof/clueless type stuff is Kira-esque. Actually, what does he even have in common with Josuke personality-wise? He's not really someone who jokes around; I guess he's very loyal to Yasuho but? Uh?
