Anyone know if there's a reason Crunchyroll loads extremely slowly for me? I can load 720p videos on Youtube faster than they play but even a 480p Crunchyroll video takes forever.

I was more talking about that Fascist party officer (Tommy, I think) who got killed by Wham being played off as a totally innocent victim. Not to mention Caesar wasn't especially critical of Mussolini.

I'm not saying its apologia, but Araki definitely ignored the elephant in the room.

I'd say there's a big difference between a general/commander and a regular soldier. A lot of German soldiers in WW2 didn't exactly have a choice in the matter.

Man Dark Blue Moon is kind of overpowered, especially given the arena they fought it in.

That's the point of a lot of stands, they're super strong under certain conditions but weak otherwise. Most of the main cast have well-rounded stands so they can fight in most situations.

I remember his little speech on fear and desire or whatever, but I coulda sworn that instead of Enya just going HEY I SENT A BUNCH OF DUDES AFTER HIM the reader only learns about Emperor and Hanged Man after Jotaro interrogates Yellow Temperance

Nope, that was all in the manga.

Maybe he makes himself look incompetent so that his enemies won't think he's threatening enough to immediately kill, thus making his stand less dangerous to use.

Or we're just overthinking things since a lot of characters in Jojo are silly and nonsensical.

My main confusion with these guys is why Dio would think they're good enough to work under him. He even wanted to go and kill them, but was told not to because plot.

I don't think Dio cares about them at all, Enya was the one who arranged for them to attack Jojo and co.

Where did the bad guy go after falling of the balcony? His stand went into the doll but what about the guy himself? Is it explained in the manga how he ended up on the toilet?

Presumably he grabbed onto a balcony and pulled himself in. He fell over the side himself afterall, he probably planned it out.

It's kinda hard to guess how Dio would do against his own minions before knowing what his stand is/does. If you mean with just his Vampire powers I think a lot of the stands in the series would wreck him since he wouldn't be able to stop them without a stand of his own. His only way of winning would be to take out the stand user before he's killed.

Also Dio is using a ripple master's body. He might be able to handle some degree of ripple or sun due to his unique physiology.

The flesh buds don't have any ripple resistance, not much reason to think DIO does. Joseph is the only ripple user he has to worry about anyway.

I am like you. I started reading the manga and it is so loving good.

Also, I noticed that Jojo and crew don't really kill as many people as they get deeper into this quest. Like, I feel like they killed all the stand users they fought in the beginning and now they tend not to; just render them incapacitated. Or did they always do that and I was just under the impression that their foes were killed?

No, you're right. I wonder if that was editor pressure or what.

I can see Part 4 getting a Viz translation if Part 4 is animated and gets a dub.

If anyone was wondering why Iggy looks so different in the opening/ending and in the episode, his design changed gradually as the manga went on. He gets a human-ish face and looks kinda grotesque by the end.

So now that Iggy is introduced I can point out the 6th shooting star in the 1st opening. Where it touches down roughly corresponds to New York's location too.
