Casting the Pt8 anime is going to be a nightmare, how will they find an entire cast able to say "Rokakaka" that amount of times without giving up.

Diavolo's "death" is the most disproportionate in the entire series. Dio just gets to be blown up, and he killed thousands of people. Diavolo dealt drugs and therefore is doomed to die over and over again for literally eternity.

If they don't end on Rolling Stones like it's supposed to, they're cowards and frauds. I love Mista's backstory, given how much Pt5 is tied up with the idea of fate. Mista wasn't meant to die, even with 4 dudes shooting at him, so he just...didn't die.

I think next week might just end with the start of the Little Feet fight, like how last week's started with the start of Kraftwerk, so all the episodes are staggered a little. But yeah, Trish is definitely next week

MechanicalTomPetty posted:Man I forgot how brutal some of the villain deaths are in Part 5. I guess he didn't technically die, but still. I hope Cioccolata being MUDA'd is just that episode's end credits. Just MUDA for as long as the ending takes.

Also doesn't help that it immediately follows what's generally regarded to be one of the best monster of the week fights of all time in Grateful Dead & Beach Boy.

Diavolo looks cool as hell, just a shame he doesn't get much screen time. I kinda hope the anime fleshed him out a little, cuz he could be way more interesting. People are gonna hate him because he's not as good as Kira, though.

The one moment I hope they do justice is Doppio turning into Diavolo during the Metallica fight, where his eyes roll back and reveal Diavolo's hosed up irises on the other side. Also Doppio freaking out over the severed leg before it becomes clear whose leg it is.

It's just a shame because that's a really cool concept in theory and the actual writing doesn't do any justice to that because he gets way less screen time than any other main villain.

It's a shame that yeah, Doppio is hundreds of times more interesting and entertaining than Diavolo. The "phone calls" are gonna be so good in the anime, and the toy phone on the plane is one of my favourite sight gags in JoJo history.

Oh poo poo, the shadow chopping up Sorbet is Cioccolata, not Diavolo. Is that a new addition? I don't remember it at all.

Well it was a really cool touch, and sets up Cioccolata as being the one to do Diavolo's dirty work. I hope they keep the line where Diavolo mentions he only uses him and Secco as a last resort cuz they're so gross and weird.

Momomo posted:Between Mista hijacking a truck, Narancia destroying a whole block and Giorno stealing a hundred cars, part 5 is really anti vehicle.

Johnny Joestar posted:giorno is the worst example of it in the series. i wouldn't even blink if there was a fight where he won because sometime in the beginning he turned a handful of rocks into weird stag beetles that only eat a particular kind of moss which he handily also turned part of a wall into and while everything was going on he waited for them to eat enough of the moss until the wall fell onto the villain during some monologue. it would just be Another Giorno Thing. My favourite thing about pt7 is how Tusk goes from what sounds like a joke stand, all the way to "this is the hard counter to one of the most powerful stands of all time".

No matter how much something is telegraphed (and very little has been so far) stop trying to be coy and hinting at spoilers. If it hasn't happened in the anime, don't post about it in the anime thread. Anyway, gently caress I can't wait for King Crimson Vs Metallica. MonsterEnvy posted:The fact that Fugo did not get on the boat with them means he did not betray him. Even when Bruno did deviate from the plan Diavolo still gave him a chance to walk away. He does not seem the sort to just throw away useful pawns unless they clearly go against him. Especially a pawn with a stand as powerful as Purple Haze. You definitely wanna keep the bioweapons on your side and easily to hand.

Arist posted:It occurs to me that it's weird the end of Part 5 revolves around Diavolo trying to create a Requiem version of his Stand, considering the only other Requiem Stand he or anyone else knows of is Silver Chariot Requiem, which does nothing but create uncontrollable nonsense and is an active liability. Not really. Like, at that point, Diavolo's goal is the same as it's always been. Murder Trish, murder anyone who knows who he is, escape. He just makes a play for the arrow because poo poo, Silver Chariot Requiem causes chaos, including chaos he could very well used to murder Trish, murder anyone who knows who he is, and escape.

It especially helps for people who have never read JoJos for us to do Steel Ball Run, since it's a totally new universe, there's not a huge amount of background knowledge needed. It also makes Hey Ya's first appearance even more of a mystery, which is great.
