Supersonic Shine posted:I still think it's funny that Vanilla Ice managed to kill more of the Crusaders than DIO did. Of course, they would be even if Jotaro hadn't gotten Joseph's heart pumping again. Joseph was fuckin' dead, they had to use bullshit Speedwagon science to revive him.

DIO actually did take control of Joseph, but Jotaro scares the poo poo out of him now so he decided to cut his losses and just live out the old man's life.

FeedingHam2Cats posted:Well. Jotaro could only do it for like 1-2 seconds at that point. DIO has 5 seconds now, and then he goes super saiyan and it jumps to 9, which is enough to beat pretty much anyone else in JoJos unless they can move during the time stops like Jotaro 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.

Broseph Brostar posted:I think I might be in the minority here, but I think stats are unimportant in Jojo since battles are won with wits instead of power. Sperging over stats in JoJo is just a waste of time. I think most people feel the same, at least around here. Lots of people have totally busted Stands, and end up losing because they get so full of themselves they just try to dominate their opponent. Even the main characters fall into this trap sometimes; look at when Josuke and Okuyasu figured Harvest is just a lovely Stand that's only good for picking up trash.

Star Platinum posted:Pretty sure it was said that Crazy D can't heal diseases or anything caused by old age, basically he can "just" fix injuries (which is still pretty good). Well considering he can also fuse dudes into a rock and change food into their base components I don't think Josuke really knows how much Crazy Diamond can do until he tries it.

The Vosgian Beast posted:I've been wondering since I first read this part: Why do the knives stop seconds away from Jotaro? I mean time is stopped, but they traveled half the distance. There seems to be a range in which poo poo thrown by DIO moves normally, but once it leaves that range, it's subject to time stop. Alternatively, shonen power bullshit.

Sekkira posted:Most of it is filler though. But it's still fantastic. Is it really filler if you're not trying to waste time? I don't think Araki was waiting until he could think up Kira, I think it was a calculated decision to turn it into a slice-of-life deal for a while.

Sekkira posted:Well, my definition of filler is parts that don't further or necessarily tie in to the overarching plot. I don't necessarily see filler as wasting time. I'd argue that establishing the world and the characters is at least as important as the search for the bow and arrow. We spend all of Part 4 in Morioh, we need to know about the town and its relevant residents. I just can't see all that as filler, as the stakes Kira introduces would be so empty if we didn't know Josuke and his friends. Some chapters could be excised, I suppose, but most of them are ones where Araki does a lot of exploration of the concept of Stands so even that seems important to the series as a whole.

I'll never get over that Joseph came back from death and, within an instant of grasping the situation, he decides "I am going to gently caress with my grandson so goddamn hard."

Just gonna respond to this hereHobgoblin2099 posted:As a note, Star Platinum has now been renamed to "Star Platinum: The World". I don't think Star Platinum lost stats simply from Jotaro discovering the time stop ability, but because Jotaro hasn't used his Stand much in between 3 and 4. He's been focusing more on marine biology, at worst he'd have to punch a shark or something and even then he'd probably prefer not to.

ZenMasterBullshit posted:Every villain in JoJo starts off in big buff scary bad man style then deflate instantly after they're beating. Okuyasu goes from super detailed buff man to the kuwabara knock off we love in like 3 pages, Lcok and Surface shrink, Tonio goes in and out of it once Josuke pushes his buttons. Even rohan had that super buff over detailed look going until Josuke beat the poo poo out him. Well, except Valentine. He didn't exactly have the time to look like more of a douche after getting beaten but man did he get more intimidating over the course of the series.

Really into the art write-up. I always found the range and detail of expression in Araki's work to be really interesting, but I'm not very well versed in the lingo so it's hard to put it into words.

littleorv posted:Oh I didn't realize there was such a thing as phreaking. I googled it and I understand now, thank you. Now it is time to go back to reading Jojo. Yeah that's one of those times where JJBA shows its age. Around 92-93, kids of the age where they'd be reading the manga would probably have heard about phreaking in the news at some point. It only made sense to me when I first read it because I learned about it when I was studying network security.

Sekkira posted:I disagree. Because the part is set during a specific time in the 90s. I similarly feel that Stardust Crusaders has a very 80s feel to it because of when it's set. Battle Tendency and Phantom Blood stand out from that IMO, as while they're set in specific times, the story elements don't really seem to touch the plots. I don't know what you think I meant, because all I meant by "showing its age" was "this was written in the 90's".

BaDandy posted:"Pluck" fits Jonathan better than Luck would. Where Dio is incredibly lucky and is bailed out of a lot of the terrible decisions he makes, Jonathan is mainly helped by "pluck" or his tremendous courage, in addition to using his luck to his advantage, like with using that kick to impale Dio on the statue or what-have-you. Brueford is recognizing his courage by having Luck also be Pluck. gently caress, is that it? I guess I just forgot "pluck" was a word. You never really hear anyone call someone "plucky", anymore.
