I liked that he had to cut back on the healing powers in part 7 so that they could get their wounds healed up but couldn't fix major stuff like Johnny's legs

It's okay they had zombie horse thread which is in no way explained.

The only reason why Jotaro even beat DIO was because he was really loving crafty with his time stop. DIO spends most of the frozen time being his own fabulous hypeman.

Yeah this was my favourite part of that fight. If Jotaro had tried to go all out with the time stop as soon as he could do it he would've lost.

From the anime thread.

I feel like the fight's just started now. This first half was learning what DIO can do, and how Jotaro might be able to counteract him. Now that DIO has Joseph's blood, he's probably going to go berserk, and all but steamroll Jotaro. I'm getting pumped.

Read through Jojolion after dropping off a few years ago. The hell was with the Milagro Man arc? Did Araki get bored with the idea halfway through writing it?

How does that even look to another person? Is Diavolo just constantly appearing somewhere in the world, dying, and then teleporting somewhere else? How long until the phantom dying man becomes an international legend?

Normally when David Pro adapts Jojo they leave in any inconsistencies or retcons(Dio using Hermit purple, Arrow piercing Giorno, ect.) but do they think they'll keep in Anasui's gender swap in Part 6? That's really the only time I can think of that's a true retcon and not just Araki making a mistake or forgetting.

I love the characters and fights of part 6 so much. I love everything about part 6 except the actual main plot. The Green Dio-homunculus and the random magic words that Dio and Enya apparently knew about all along just don’t gel with me. And I’m sorry, I but I can’t accept that Dio’s master plan is to Scratch the universe to create a new iteration that’s basically the same, except now nobody experiences those weird bouts of ennui?

I think Dio's plan was just to get Made in Heaven. Resetting the universe was Pucci's idea.

Doesn't Dio say In JORGE JOESTAR that the words were a melody his Mom sang to him? I mean JORGE JOESTAR is non-canon but a lot of the background information is probably still accurate to the main series.

I loved how in part 3 Hanged Man attacks Polnareff from a mirror, and Kakyoin needs to explain to him how there isn't some magical backwards-world inside of a mirror, and it's just a shiny surface that reflects light, so clearly Hanged Man is made of photons.
But then in Part 5 Araki decides, gently caress it , I want to make a stand that transports you to the magical mirror dimension.

I like when they explained that Hanged Man moves at the speed of light yet Polnareff was still able to cut him.

Araki realized after Part 4 that having a healing stand really lets him up the body horror. Part 8 is the only one that doesn't have some way for the heroes to heal themselves, and that's probably fine since most of the stands are much more indirect.

Jojolion is basically a series of interesting events strung together by interesting mysteries that don’t get answered. Cool stuff happens then gets dropped for other cool stuff and details get fudged and that just doesn’t work when you’re writing a mystery manga.

Blue Hawaii is one of the few times a stand is never beaten and the hero completely loses.

I will say that I dont often look at the type of Japanese JoJo is written in but yeah I'm sure it's also Bizarre. (I've heard that one of Polnareffs lines in Part 3 where hes relating his experience with DIO on the staircase is big JoJo joke in the Japanese fandom, just because he says something strangely in Japanese), but I totally think you can have a stronger translation, maybe even localization if you could get a translator and a proofreader chill enough and free enough to really tinker around

Also because

When Enya met a standless Dio and sensed his great destiny, or was overcome with fear and awe at his sexiness and「 G R A V I T Y」or however she described it in that one scene, how did she convince him to let her shoot him with an arrow, because it would give him superpowers, for realsies scout's honor, but no she has no way of knowing what the superpower is.

It probably helps that he's a vampire and wouldn't die to just an arrow.

so, I heard that in part 5 if a stand gets hit with the arrow it becomes a super stand


in that case, isn't the entire arc basically like Raiders of the Lost Ark where if GioGio had just let Black Sabbath win at the very beginning everything would have been better

Wouldn’t he still die from the arrow in his neck?

GER works just fine with the continuation of Kira's "your Stand evolved to give you exactly what you needed" thing going on in 4. It's Silver Chariot's weirdness that kind of confuses everything since that wasn't going to really help anyone.
