Senor Candle posted:1.) Why isn't Joseph a vampire? 1. Star Platinum is just THAT GOOD at blood transfusions or Joseph expelled the vampire extract like Jonathan. 2. No, which is why Joseph adopted her. Suzie Q is the closest thing now since I doubt she'd separate from Joseph after 50 years of marriage. Senor Candle posted:I mostly skipped 5 because I couldn't deal with the terrible translation, is there somewhere I could read a good summary of it? Giorno wants to be a GANGSTAR and makes plans to kill the mafia's leader, a guy with the least coherent backstory ever (though it is intentional) and a Stand ability that has become as memetic as ZA WARUDO, because of him polluting Italy with drugs. But first, he has to kill all of the people trying to kill the boss alongside a bunch of other people with cool Stand powers (and Abacchio) who are (initially) loyal to the boss. Eventually, Giorno's Stand becomes the most broken thing in the series and a certain Frenchman ends up living inside of a turtle.

Think of Stand powers like a DVD player. The World is the pause button, Bites the Dust is rewind, King Crimson is skip scene, Made in Heaven is fast forward, and D4C is switching one DVD for another.

Darko posted:I can't remember Poli being in this fight at ALL. What does he do in the Dio fight? Stabs Dio in the head right before he almost offs Jotaro with a stop sign. It's pretty funny that Joseph and Kakyoin were trying to avoid a fight and ended up neck deep in one while Polnareff wanted to fight Dio and ended up doing the least in said fight.

Yeah, he killed Harvest and Cinderella's Stand Users. And the original Kawajiri. And, to be fair, he DID kill a bunch of main characters with Bites the Dust before it got undone and punched a hole through Koichi's body.

Darko posted:I re-looked at the manga for the first time in forever, and completely forgot that Joseph got a ghost and stuff like all the other dead people after Dio drank his blood. So ridiculous. Maybe Terrence D'arby ran by, played some vidya with Joseph, and took his soul. And then he died on the way home?  Aurain posted:Bear in mind that Kira threatens to kill Fatty's mother and father before Shigechi himself, despite the fact that Kira almost definitely wouldn't hunt them down because he hates drawing attention to himself and that he's going to kill Shigechi anyway. Dude just wanted to traumatize him beforehand. My favorite Kira moment is him tying Koichi's shoes before preparing to blow him up.

Can you imagine if Dio actually was able to stop time forever? He'd be so bored. Just beating up random people and putting cats in people's food and then waiting, like, five hours for them to notice.

BaDandy posted:In other news, this screenshot showed up for me again and I completely forgot that it shows an Evil Stand User audition. Imagine the personals ad about this. Christ almighty. "Well, that's an interesting talent, Mr. Horse, but I'm afraid I, Dio, only accept applicants who name their Stands after Tarot Cards." "No wait! I could be, uh... the Emperor!" "I'm afraid you'll also need a color to go along with that na- oh. Enya informs me we aren't doing that anymore. Welcome aboard, Mr. Horse."

White Album and Metallica are probably my favorite enemy Stands from Part V. Metallica is also a good example of Stand stats mean nothing because it has Cs across the board and has a wide array of ridiculously broken powers.

Is it accurate that Araki didn't make Fugo have to fight Giorno's group because he found the idea of a traitor disgusting? They have that listed on Fugo's JJBA wiki page.

Silver2195 posted:I think where it really went wrong was when Silver Chariot Requiem showed up. At that point everything just stopped making sense. Is anyone else sad at the realization that Polnareff no longer has Silver Chariot and is thus missing a very big piece of his soul?

 I'm pretty sure Araki is either trying to turn guys who read his manga gay or just ended up making a really awesome shoujo manga that ended up becoming shounen somehow.

I wonder how Do survived 100 years without blood. Didn't Cars as the Ultimate Lifeform need to eat at least once a year? I also wonder if Jotaro could see Dio throwing that knife at Joseph. That'd be a pretty traumatic way to learn his new power.

I wonder if Jotaro ever found out Polnareff became a turtle or if Polnareff just continued to pal around with Giorno until the universe reset.chaos rhames posted:It's kind of funny that polnareff never contacted Jotaro, the guy who knows a magic doctor. I think it was said he was worried about the mob catching his communications line if he called out of Italy or something.

Aurain posted:Is it really spoilers to say Jotaro will win and DIO will be disintegrated by the sun? I mean, they all know there's a lot more JoJo after part 3 and how often do shonens end without the protagonists winning? They technically even win out in Stone Ocean. I think it was just a joke about the sexy thing not actual spoiler concern.

Cerebral Bore posted:Part 5 has a scene where Giorno shoots a dude in the head with a bullet, turns it into a beetle that starts eating the dude's brain and then follows that poo poo up with four double spreads worth of beatdown. I'd dare say that Part V as a whole has the best quality of Stands in the series. BaDandy posted:Would that count for Mista too, then? Yes. When that part is brought up, Mista's Sex Pistols is referenced.
