What's up with the 14 words Father Pucci has to say to activate the Green Baby? Is there some connection to something I'm not seeing or is it just a random set of words Araki was really feeling that day?
I have a friend who is big into esoteric mystical poo poo so I showed him the JJBA wiki entry for Dio's Diary but he said it wasn't a reference to anything he knew of. Probably just typical Araki weirdness.

We should compile a list of all the rad ideas Araki presented and then suddenly dropped with no explanation. It'd be longer than that psychological analysis of Dio.

If Josuke became a magic doctor, you know he'd have a cult around him whether he wanted one or not.

No stand is flat out better than any other in every aspect and the winner is decided by the ingenuity of the stand user.
This statement is almost always true, but isn't Khnum a straight up downgrade from Yellow Temperance? Then again, Khnum can change the user's scent and I don't know if Yellow Temperance could. Both of their users were morons, too, and that's the most important bit.

I can't believe there hasn't been a main Jojo villain whose power is freezing things and they end up evolving their Stand to the point where they can freeze time.

That seems Araki enough to have been a thing by now.

I'm glad Caesar is immediately recognizable in Araki's new style, which is more than I can say for his redraws of Jonathan, Joseph and Dio.
