ChaosArgate posted:Joseph's deck would be full of counter traps and other cards that lock his opponent down. His winning turn would always be some absurd reversal like Jackpot 7 or Barrel Behind the Door to switch from losing to winning in one turn. I do love stands but I really miss Joseph being an rear end in a top hat who wins at the last second with some ridiculous trap. I loved the Empress episode even if 90% of it was "look how useless Joseph is now."

Million Ghosts posted:To be fair he Hamons what, once? In Stardust Crusaders. Probably hasn't overdrived in years. He tried to use it on Empress, and he uses it to kill the flesh bud implanted by Dan of Steel. RatHat posted:Hamon is basically useless against non-vampires/pillar men anyway. I mean, except when it isn't. He could still be using it to launch things and there was that one time where supposedly it could stop Suzie Q's heart if Caesar didn't also use reverse ripple at the same time, and Caesar was using it to mind control people, and both of them used it to turn spaghetti into a deadly throwing weapon... ripple pretty much does whatever except when it can't. E: also it could heal people for about two seconds in Phantom Blood and then never again. Taciturn Tactician fucked around with this message at 03:08 on Jan 23, 2015 |

Waffleman_ posted:That's not loving censorship, though. It's basically the same thing as changing the book to say "Brothers Adventure" instead of Oingo Boingo, which was the original thing being talked about? I honestly can't read this episode as anything except Joseph knowing it wasn't Jotaro the whole time. I mean, he went from being paranoid about being poisoned to "oh well you dress and act nothing like Jotaro, probably not an enemy stand." They've already encountered an enemy stand that pretended to be Kakyouin, after all. Everything he does is consistent with that, too, they're just loving with this poor idiot who's clearly screwed, and then when they see the person in the same clothes he's like "oh I guess it was this guy"

Agent Kool-Aid posted:there are stands that have way less overall usefulness than tohth, and really the only reason they failed is because they're kinda stupid I mean, clearly Khnum is worse because you can't copy for poo poo. You can't change anything except your own body and you don't get any kind of information that would let you act like them, or even the actual properties of the body, just what it looks like. Plus, you'd want to disguise yourself as a stand-user at some point probably, and it can't copy stands, and once you're revealed you have absolutely no ability to actually fight people who have stands. Khnum is pretty terrible. Empress is still the worst stand, though, because all it can do it kill people and it's really, really bad at it.

Irony Be My Shield posted:Yeah I think this episode was interesting as well as funny. The question is, if the stand's predictions influence the future by telling the brothers what to do, doesn't it get to decide the future to some degree? Clearly it deliberately steered them away from a full-scale fight with the crusaders in order to keep them alive It seems to have a much more direct influence on the future, that stuff with the cafe with a lot of really specific coincidences to get them to drink the poisoned tea.

Tarezax posted:Nah, the prediction is always right, but their interpretation can be wrong. I happen to like these monkey's paw kind of prophecies so there Fereydun posted:this is the greatest crime of kakyoin being put out of commission by araki. though i guess that would also ruin the concept of the whole thing where the two dumbest and rudest members of the group seem to either be completely tuned into the guy's plan or absolutely oblivious to what's happening and neither the guy nor the reader can tell which one it is due to how dumb and weird they are I'd just like to add that all the book says is they didn't know they were being ATTACKED. It's totally possibly that they knew Oingo wasn't Jotaro but didn't think he was attacking them yet and never figured out the orange bomb, and only threw it away because Iggy had been slobbering on it. I'm also not entirely sure that the narration parts are actually Tohth's predictions, or if it only predicts images and the narration is Boingo interpreting. It would make it more reasonable that "Jotaro" wasn't actually Jotaro if it was just a picture of him.

Actually, Khunum is kind of a unique stand, it's the only one so far that has absolutely no manifestation. Even stands that are based on a non-physical power like Hermit Purple and Tohth have an avatar, but Khunum is totally formless, it just gives the stand user a power.

ChaosArgate posted:That's true. Out of all the Crusaders, Avdol's likely the only one who knows most of the Egyptian gods and he was out of commission for this fight. Jotaro wasn't around either, Polnareff's an idiot and I doubt Joseph would've been interested at all in Egyptian mythology before finding out that the Egyptian gods are all stands. I dunno, Joseph knows all sorts of random facts, especially about foreign cultures. It wouldn't shock me if he knew a bunch of Egyptian gods, or at least enough about them to go "hey that drawing looks like an Egyptian hieroglyph and Khnum sounds like an Egyptian name"

Hobgoblin2099 posted:Yeah, Cars was definitely the weakest of the Pillar Men before becoming the Ultimate Lifeform. Caesar would've taken him to school. It was dark when they were tussling with Kars though, so his trump card was worthless. I mean slashing ripple bubbles are nice and all but it was prisms reflecting the sun that made him dangerous.

I've seen those in several different databooks, including Naruto, Fairy Tail and even Death Note, but who used them first? It's not just an anime thing. It's called a radar chart, I guess animes just really like using them to display things as opposed to bar charts or whatever.

Zeruel posted:I like how even 50 years later, Joseph is still a big fuckin idiot.  19-year-old Joseph was a dope but he was a battle savant, 69-year-old Joseph apparently went senile because he has completely forgotten everything he ever knew about turning a fight around. Empress was the last dying gasp of Joseph's ingenuity.I can only assume that the man who used string to conduct the ripple multiple times to kill vampires will fail to kill a vampire when he has the power to create infinite string and leave his grandson to do it.

Hobgoblin2099 posted:Joseph is probably the most short-changed of the main characters Stand-wise, for instance. Its fortune-telling abilities are useful as support, but in a fight it ends up being significantly less useful than the others' Stands. It would actually be incredibly powerful in a lot of these fights if he could get it do anything reliably. Tons of the fights have relied on the stand user being hidden while their stand destroys the crusaders, if Joseph could use spirit photography to find them they'd be much less threatening.

Irony Be My Shield posted:That was great, Bastet is the dumbest stand ever and I loved the stupid tricks Mariah kept pulling with it I feel like she spent a lot of time dicking around with creating awkward social situations instead of killing them, but for once it's actually justified because the more time she wastes with them being embarrassed the stronger the magnets get. Also clearly DIO has been harvesting the legendary Japanese battle data because Mariah was pretty confident about Magician's Red and Hermit Purple's range.

Prison Warden posted:Did Jospeh use his ripple power with the water in the sewer to propell hiself before he smashed into Maria? I'm actually not sure what he did. The first time I thought he was just using hermit purple to hold himself in place until the magnets got strong enough to pull him to Avdol but I rechecked it and it's just water. Looking at the manga it's even less clear

Dias posted:Well, again, Araki getting mad someone ripped off one of his characters and straight out uses one of his names would be...curious. That's not why Araki would be kind of questionable for chasing after copyright. I mean in the US it's an issue, but it's not like Araki's characters are really derivative of the bands they're named after, he's just using the name. The reason it would be a bit hypocritical is because he likes to copy the plots of horror movies for stands.
