That's the general justification people have gone with, yeah. You have to want it.

polnareff discovered requiem stands because he dropped the arrow behind a cabinet and was using his stand to rummage around for it

I still remember reading through part 7 and getting really confused at where hot pants disappeared to and finding out she'd died

It was like "wait what, when did that happen" and then I go back and it's right fuckin there, idk how I missed it. I know I'm not the only one that missed her death either, but there's something weird going on where somehow I just never interpreted her death as being a death until later on.

in the moment, her death feels very much like araki cutting away from her situation to show the action somewhere else, which is something that happens very commonly, so you assume he'll cut back to her later on and don't think about it. there's nothing really there to imply that what's happening to her is more fatal than the poo poo other characters endure, and nobody mentions her after she dies, unlike almost every other main character death. it was handled really weirdly imo

Araki obviously didn't solidify she what exactly D4C does until after the shooting of Johnny Joestar so fit Valentine really can't have been from an alternate dimension

There was a post in here a while back making fun of people who thought the guy who saved Josuke was supposed to be Josuke, that went something like "my theory is the guy who protected giorno was actually diavolo"

My anime-only friend who knows vague details from the manga just unironically said that except she said "that gangster who giorno saved is king crimson"

I've been rereading Steel Ball Run and while it is the greatest story of all time, it occured to me that Gyro shouldn't have been able to see stands while he didn't have Scan, but there's at least one point where he clearly does. Hope somebody got fired for that blunder

That I would be willing to believe (despite the whole thing about Johnny losing Tusk along with the corpse parts one time and not the other), but according to the wiki he could see stands even before he got Scan the first time. Although it's the wiki so that may or may not be true. I'm not gonna get mad about Plot Holes in Jo Jo cause it's not a big deal but it was like the last rule that I thought was never broken

On a side note, even though I had recently been thinking about how lovely Hot Pants's death was, and I knew it was coming up, I still missed it when I actually read it. Pour one out for the coolest lady, she deserved better

Ok I'm almost done with my SBR reread and it's more amazing with my remember but I hope someone can explain this to me and it's not just a thing that makes no sense:

Johnny's final test for Valentine is asking him to pick up the revolver that a different universe's Valentine used to kill Gyro. The fact that this Valentine has that revolver on his person is the proof that he was planning to double-cross Johnny. But since it's a different universe's Valentine, why would he not have that pistol in the first place? I feel like there's something I'm missing.

I love that Valentine can't even not be a total racist and complain about how he can't let some Savage on the other side of the world have the corpse in his long speech that convinced a bunch of people in real life that he was the good guy. In other words, he's the best written US President character ever

Weather Report and Weather Report

my favorite thing in stone ocean is when they say he doesn't remember his name so people just refer to him by his stand's name. but in the flashback before he ever got his stand or lost his memory he still is like "people call me 'weather report', well bye"

i'm gonna be real, after scarlet valentine i don't think i trust araki with actual lgbt characters

I chalk that up more to Araki being bad at writing women than him being bad at writing gay characters tbh. I was just thinking about that quote where he was like "you can write a story without any women at all, even a love story, be brave"

this, ozone baby's user eating a lady out, and yasuho saying that mitsuba put the baby pieces back in her "stomach", lead me to believe that araki is a rock person who just got the random wikipedia page for human reproduction, spiraled off from there, and wanted to put it in jojo

i'm pretty sure in the newer translation at least bruno just says he's sure mista would kill "a gay man" in prison, no slurs. which is still a weird thing to say and i know it was like 2000 but i half-doubt davidpro would keep the line, and doubt-even-more that crunchyroll subs would use slurs in that context
