Vanilla Ice.

gets into void sphere or whatever
dio stops time and moves out of the way
vanilla ice looks around
dio stops time and murders him

the time stop thing pretty much counters anything unless they somehow get the drop on dio and kill him instantly (this is really hard because he's a freakin vampire). not to mention since he's an immortal vampire his time stop doesn't have a hard limit like jotaro's

I feel like I remember when Josuke's fighting Kira + Stray Cat and he sees how varied Josuke's fixing ability he is, he outright says that Josuke's the real threat. At the climax when Kira's about to use Bites the Dust for the last time, everyone's yelling that Jotaro is the only one who can close in on him fast enough thanks to stopping time, but even then Jotaro realizes that one or two seconds of stopped time isn't enough to bridge the distance.

Then Kira gets run over by an ambulance.

R.I.P Yoshikage Kira

Aside from what was already mentioned, characters in JoJos have the habit of assuming whoever they are fighting is most dangerous. Like in part 5 there are multiple moments where a dude with "big" abilities like causing everyone to age or creating a flesh eating mold that covers an entire city is defeated beforehand precisely due to him being the more urgent danger but characters still stop and say the other guy is more dangerous when they have to concentrate on them

Ending an episode right after what looks like we just lost two main characters would be pretty dickish. I hope they do that.

All of this filler is 110% designed with the sole malicious intent of making the deaths of the Crusaders even more painful. If there aren't a bunch of screen caps of tumblr break downs when Avdol and Iggy die, I'll be shocked. Kakyoin biting it shortly after will just be twisting the knife like a drill.


The Kakyoin scene is gonna be even more heartbreaking because it's prefaced in the manga with a thing explaining his inner motivations

so we're gonna get the announcer doing a little speech about how Kakyoin never fit in anywhere before, and how he's found the greatest friends he could have, and he'll do anything for them

then he's got a hole in his chest and he don't know why

I'm hoping D'arby the gamer and vanilla ice are two parters, and DIO is a 4 parter. These next two fights are unbelievable, but neither should be equal in length to the splendor that is DIO

There are going to be 48 episodes. That means there are 9 episodes left. My guess? DIO is 5. D'arby The Gamer is gonna be 2 episodes. so I guess Vanilla Ice will also be that many.

There is no way D'Arby the Gamer should get stretched out to three episodes, 2 is plenty. Vanilla Ice'll probably be 2 as well, then we're left with Suzie Q visiting Holly, DIO's World and Goodbye, My Friends. 1 episode for Suzie Q, 3 for DIO and 1 for goodbye? Or maybe DIO should get 3 and a half while we get half an episode for Goodbye?

Goodbye and Suzie Q are going to come out to less than one episode total since they were one chapter apiece. DIO is gonna be like 4.5 episodes.

D'Arby is a 3 parter and Avdol's death will probably be the end of next weeks episode. This weeks ends as Jotaro takes his hat off, so there's a fair chunk of D'Arby left.



More like a 2.3 parter, tbh

Aurain posted:


That said, the next episode is called something part 1, so it's probably called Vanilla Ice 1.

Probably "The Spirit of Emptiness Part 1"

I love that the 15 second preview at the end of the episode only mentions the conclusion of the D'Arby fight and doesn't show anything beyond that, for maximum ownage to the anime only audience

How much more of the darby fight is there? Does avdols death come up that quickly after?

They kill Kenny G, Vanilla Ice talks to Dio and gets turned to a vampire, Vanilla Ice murders Avdol

Aurain posted:

Wasn't 48 episodes always just a presumed, likely number anyway?

I've never really seen something official saying "we're doing 48" just guesses because the trip to Egypt was 24. The PB/BT season was 26, so it's not like they haven't gone beyond 24 for a single season run.

Not that it hasn't been said, but I wouldn't mind seeing where it was said, if it was.

This is also true- they blew up the pace the past two episodes but the rest of the time it's been about 3 chapters per episode which would mean: six episode DIO fight, though they could undoubtedly condense it to five. A looot of it is dialogue though so I'd be hard pressed to say they can bring it to just four.

We still have 6 chapters to go, so it will probably be like D'arby where the end of the fight bleeds into the next episode.

I'm kind of hoping that we get more Suzie Q filler so we can have an entire breather episode before DIO.



My guess is they'll finish the fight in two weeks, have the Suzie Q chapter, and finish the episode with "It's been a while, Polnareff"

The part where Polnareff sees a vision of Avdol and Iggy ascending into heaven and then he goes to try and fight DIO alone and it just cuts to an image of Polnareff's loving tears falling into his hands is gonna mess me up

That still feels two weeks away to me. Next week will probably be the silly scene where Polnareff can't climb the stairs, then the one where the dorky vampire ends up in the coffin, then everyone getting the gently caress out before the sun sets, Polnareff calling everyone pussies and running hobbling off, and then the beginning of DIO's Nocturnal Adventures.

It's gonna at least get to the chase sequence, probably end with Joseph and Kakyoin escaping to the rooftops

Special credit to David for firing up the "hell yeah! Crusaders gonna kick rear end!" style music when Kakyoin fires his Emerald Splash at DIO only for it go full on doom organ when DIO just goes "meh".

That's just a prelude to next episode where it's gonna switch from Virtuous Pope to just the slow ticking of a clock

Why did they give Dio a cape? I assume it's there so he can dramatically throw it off at some point?

He had a cape originally, he's gonna throw it off when he stops time and turns Kakyoin into a donut
