Yeah, Kira's abilities manifest as a way for him to protect himself just due to how much he doesn't want to get caught. It does get silly when he breaks out an invincible heat seeking bomb and the ability to rewind time, but dang if it's not cool. How Another One Bites The Dust works exactly still confuses me though

I think a lot of the fun of Part 4 comes from the Araki going a bit hogwild on what Stands can do. Unlike Star Platnium's ability of stopping time and punching things real good, Crazy Diamond can "return things to their original state" which is used really well when Josuke needs to do things like track a murderer or find out why Okuyasu's stomach just exploded. Stands can now do all sorts of crazy things, not just things that hurt the other guy like place sound effects, make really good food, swap faces or be a giant transmission tower that imprisons you for life. The possibilities are endless! It also saddens me greatly that Yukako's Stand, Love Deluxe was never used after it's first appearance because that is a fantastic name and a Stand that is just hair is a pretty sweet ability Also, Josuke is the best JoJo

Midler and High Priestess are crazy in the Part 3 fighter so yeah High Priestess owns. With Kakyoin and Polnareff's rad handshake too, that's gonna be a fun episode. I wonder if they're gonna show Midler this time now that she has an actual design or if they're gonna keep with her being a body the crew goes to check on only to see her teeth smashed in.

I was also hoping that High Priestess would take one episode and next episode could introduce Iggy and N'Doul and end with Kakyoin getting his eyes obliterated, but oh well. The Suzie Q stuff with Holly is pretty cute if I recall correctly so should be good. I just wanna see gross realistic dog Iggy at the end of the episode. E: I forget, does Avdol actually do anything until DIO's manor? I don't remember him fighting any Egyptian God Stand except for his and Joseph Bast affair? At least when Kakyoin comes back, he loses at video games and gets gut punched. Expect My Mom fucked around with this message at 23:05 on Aug 29, 2014 |

The tradeoff of getting Avdol and Iggy and then losing Kakyoin was weird. I guess Araki wanted somebody out I remembered Kenny G, that's where Avdol uses his LIFE SENSING FLAME and then gets chumped by Vanilla Ice. I always forget Hol Horse and Boingo because that fight is just silly. First time I read the orginal Oingo Boingo fight, I was slightly buzzed and man I could not stop giggling Let's see who can eat these oranges the fastest and put the most cigerates in their mouth Expect My Mom fucked around with this message at 01:50 on Aug 30, 2014 |

Sometimes I forget about Bast and then I wonder how I'm a JoJo fan. Also, I've started going down the slippery slope of JoJo figures and I don't think I'm gonna get out okay. It started with getting Crazy Diamond. Then I realized....I could have figures all of my favorite characters and Stands... Word of advice, don't start buying JoJo figures unless you can toss money around like it's nothing, you have an iron will, or you somehow only have one favorite character/Stand.

Some of the JoJo merchandise is crazy. Like I'm pretty sure there are Sticky Fingers pencil cases. There's those JoJo's converse that like really slick that I'd love to own. There's a Kira figure where one of the little add-ons is him holding a "sandwich" bag and that's wonderful. I know for a fact there's a tie you can buy that's a replica of Kira's tie and has the Killer Queen skulls on it and it's basically the sickest thing ever. It's like $100+ and I want it so bad despite knowing it will clash with every piece of formal wear I own. But it's just fun to collect cool figures of things you like. And since JoJo stuff already has sick designs, it's even better. I really want a Soft & Wet figure because I love it's design but I'm not even at Part 8 yet.

I remember thinking Sex Pistols was gonna be a lame Hol Horse, but it used way more and in cooler ways. Mista was a cool guy. Also Sex Pistols #5 pulling a Speedwagon when Bruno was unzipping himself was great FirstAidKite posted:The best part about part 5's fights are that they often incorporate 2 stand users at once as a means to shake things up instead of just having 1 stand user. This was great, having a group of Stand users be remotely organized. The Illusio fight had like three people and I recall both Bruno and Mista working in tandem vs Grateful Dead and Beach Boy. It definitely made them more interesting. Does that happen more in Part 7/8?

Part 5 has some good ideas and is fun to read at times (It's got dudes unzipping themselves and vomiting scissors), but it's kind of a mess in it's current state and I wouldn't read it again until a re translation. Diavolo has wonderful hair though so Part 5 has it's merits I really want a physical compilation of Part 4 though, I'd read that every goddamn day.

I have never felt more inadequate. fake edit: In lieu of finishing Part 6, I started reading Purple Haze Feedback and I'm really enjoying it. A plethora of interesting (all Jimi Hendrix) Stands and it's pretty cool that JoJo translated to a novel form rather well. It's also making me care about Passione characters that aren't Bruno so that's impressive.

There was more than one arc in Part 4 that existed just because Josuke wanted $$$ to buy a new pair of shoes or pants or whatever. I don't know how well people are gonna like waiting a week only for the episode to be Josuke and Okuyasu goofing around town, but I hope the reaction is good. Part 4 also has an arc dedicated to Josuke and Jotaro shooting rats that can turn people into flesh puddles with steel balls so Part 4 is great.

ChaosArgate posted:I think it was said somewhere that if you weren't strong enough to have a stand, you would be killed by the arrow. I'd guess what determines whether or not you're strong enough is whether or not you can survive the injury inflicted upon you and Koichi definitely did survive that ordeal, even if he did have some outside help. Josuke healing Koichi sorta cheated the system. Koichi woulda died because he didn't have the [ FIGHTING SPIRIT ] needed to be able to use a Stand. It's why Echoes is just an egg when Koichi summons it against Bad Company and he had to ask Josuke how to summon a Stand to just do that.

I felt like when it got to Evil Polnareff, it was starting to over stay it's welcome, but I read Part 3 like over a year ago so I could be totally wrong. All the later Part 3 fights are amazing though. The Gamer fight lasted like fifteen chapters, but it holds a special place in my heart because Kakyoin talks poo poo about how he's pretty good at games only to lose. And Star Platnium playing baseball

I love how the first time Jotaro encounters Josuke's Crazy Diamond, it establishes something stronger than Star Platnium. I believe he says if he couldn't stop time, Josuke woulda slugged him. And all through Part 4, Jotaro is sufficiently neutered. Mostly because he can only stop time for five seconds and the fact most of the Stands he fights are long range and one's an indestructible seeking bomb. I was kinda worried when I first saw Jotaro in Part 4 that a lot of fights would be ORA'ed away, but nope. Jotaro acts more of a mentor to Josuke and Koichi and only contributes a bit. Jotaro's a fun protagonist in Part 3, but I'm glad he was toned down in 4.
