Speaking of the anime, was it ever said why they stopped doing post-episode previews? DIU had them the day before new episodes, but they don't seem to be doing them at all for VA.

Did Diego ever do anything to Johnny outside of the race?

Also, it's been a while since I've read VA. How did Mista survive being shot in the head on the train? I remember that he did, I just don't remember how.

Noted! Thanks.

Aerosmith is okay, but it has some overlap with Sex Pistols being another bullet Stand. At least Narancia gets lots of cool moments, though.

On that note, were Squalo and Tiziano gay or is that just the general Jojo vibe?

Well it was a really cool touch, and sets up Cioccolata as being the one to do Diavolo's dirty work.

It makes a whole lot of sense, really. Diavolo only seems to gut punch people to death, not chop them up into pieces, put them in frames, and mail them to people.

Gyro Zeppeli posted:

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

Secco is there, too, if you look on the right.

I love how everyone is apparently just used to Ghiaccio screaming about nothing.

Apparently, Fugo's backstory doesn't match up with the details from PHF, which has people thinking there won't be a sequel OVA that follows it. :(

I feel like Illuso could have won his confrontation if he at least had the foresight to bring a gun into the mirror world. I forgot that Moody Blues bodied his Stand.

Not sure I like the new backstory, TBH. I might prefer the idea that Fugo is just someone who suffers fools poorly.

Yeah, I'm not sure the rapey teacher was necessary.

I have to wonder why Araki made Avdol overpowered only to barely use him, then make Okuyasu overpowered only to barely use him, and then make Fugo overpowered and fight less than the previous two.

At least Fugo seemed to be set up to be a traitor and maybe have Giorno's immunity to his virus play into the inevitable fight, but still!

I wonder if DP will have Giorno heal it after the Baby Face fight.

Also, is it just me or is MitM kind of a lame fight?

Nephthys posted:

Obviously we can't say it in the anime thread, but for the record Cioccolata's "I'm a doctor so cutting myself into pieces isn't a big deal also I can still move all the parts somehow" is every bit as bullshit as snakebrick.

I'm looking forward to all the nightmares that will come with seeing that scene animated.

Also of course Fugo's coming back. It's prime material for a dramatic save with some kinda "Did you miss me?"

Ah, I remember when I first thought that.

And then Diavolo was going through his eternal torment and I was wondering where the hell Fugo was. :allears:

Having his death skipped makes more sense than what actually happened.

I can't even remember what really happened. Did it involve the life punch?

Man, they basically gave away what's going to happen with Giorno and the arrow.

Someone just pointed out something about Modern Crusaders that I never even noticed. Rolling Stone has been at the bottom of the pillar this whole time.

Expect My Mom posted:

People are one million percent within their right to hate Diavolo's backstory, it's nonsense

BUT

the way it's phrased as "This is a little story from the past" allows me to read it as almost a Believe It Or Not type rumor and I like that a lot. I know that's a harder sell when we see Doppio's past animated, voiced and scored, but from the guy who seeks to eliminate his entire past and so we have no record or witnesses other than the narrator, along with the narrator's language and use of "We", there's enough suspension of disbelief for me to think it's just a fun story and not cold, hard canon

"Not even the audience must know who I really am! :argh:" - Diavolo

I know the lyrics have nothing to do with the plot, but I kinda hope this is the ED of Stone Ocean.

I figured he'd be using a voice changer to preserve the reveal. But then they made an allusion to Stardust Crusaders anyway!
