Yo this is gonna sound kinda dumb, but I finished Part 6 just recently. Did Pucci 'resetting the universe' retcon the Joestar bloodline from existing, but they're all just from a different bloodline now?

Also, Part 5 > 6 > 2 > 3 > 4 >1 so far. I love Giornio so much.

Ok, amending my previous list: 7 was off the loving chain. :aaaaa: Started off slowish, with the actual race, but it really took off, and I loved Gyro and Johnny's relationship so much. 7>6>5=3=2>4>1
Also up to date with part 8 now, now I have to wait for updates with everyone else :negative: but at least I'll be on-board with the hype train this time.

So I just finished Part 6...wow, what a crazy ride. It's kind of funny to consider now that all of Jojo, or at least Parts 1-6, is secretly the story of how the world ended because of a horrible British kid. :v:

Rankings, because I've heard that the Something Awful Jojo thread loves Part rankings (from least best to most best):

1 < 5 < 3 < 2 < 6 < 4

Part 6 was amazing... the most insane Jojo yet, the best Jojo protagonist (tied with Joseph, and not just because Jolyne's female, but because she's the only Jojo besides Jonathan to have an actual character arc), the only legitimately unnerving moment I've experienced in Jojo yet (Bohemian Rhapsody mama goat what the gently caress), the best character relationships since Part 4 (and only second to 4, imo), the first real, actual continuation to the overall Jojo storyline since Part 3, and one of the better endings (yeah it was mean as hell, but at least it felt like an actual ending. All of the parts after 2 ended on an unpleasantly sudden and flat note).

TL;DR: part 6 haters are dumb and wrong.

Very excited to start Part 7, since it seems to be the general favorite!

Another low ranking part 5-er. Why didn't you like about it? Was Giorno boring, or something else? I'm sad at how many people disliked 5, or at least in comparison to the other parts.

I think it's more likely Araki had intended the World to have the powers of all the stands but changed his mind. NotPurpleHermit just being Jonathan's stand works fine too.

Could a corpse have a stand? Not including Bruno. Jonathan's corpse probably developed a stand when Enya stabbed DIO with the arrow, and unless she stabbed his forehead or something, she'd have stabbed Jonathan's bod.

Bad Seafood posted:

The World having everyone's power is just an offshoot from an old fan theory where he had every Joestar's power (Joseph's psychic projections, Jotaro's time stop, etc.). I've never seen or read any evidence suggesting Araki was actually considering something like that, though I suppose you could still kinda-sorta make a case for the Joestar lineage exclusively.

In one of the early episodes, where it shows DIO using Johnathan's HERMIT PURPLE, Pet Shop was there before I knew it was a stand user, and I immediately thought of Avdol's MAGICIAN'S RED

So don't underestimate people jumping off cliffs for conclusions.

And Jolyne's father never knew the Ripple, so her Stand's healing ability is literally just stitching the wound back together and letting it heal that way, which is a much more crude method than the previous two.

Foo Fighters was the actual healer for part 6 though

So did DIO/Enyaba stab Pet Shop with the arrow or was it a natural born user? Or was it not even thought about back then.

Well to be fair, that's excused by Okuyasu being an idiot.

It's his whole schtick. If he weren't an idiot, he'd approach Jotaro levels of overpowered, and somehow manage to use The Hand to stop time.

Though it'd be cool if he had a Beach Boy/Pesci moment against someone and use his stand to maximum effect.(Kira? Who else did he fight against as an ally? Might have to do a re-read sometime soon)

Didn't the OVA also excise the stupid bit with iggy knowing what DIO looked and sounded like (and also somehow being able to aurally mimic him)? They both have problems, but I like the TV version better.

I don't think they'll be able to top the OVA version of the final fight though.

They'll have issues solely on the point of censorship. It was great watching Jotaro brutalize DIO
