At one minute, 30 seconds in, there's the nichest of all JoJolion (part 8) references. david are amazing.

Red Crazy Diamond is amazing and I am glad that the anime has finally gotten to premiere the best JoJo and best Stand.

It's not often I agree with anything you say, but yeah, this is great stuff.

Also, man, you should mirror your webms, I can't load any of them because everyone is too hype for Jojo.

The OP is great apart from one glaring omission.

I truly, madly, deeply love my IRL Stand 『Savage Garden』 and they choose a very nostalgic 90s song for me, so the ED is great. David Productions have done it again. Part 4 is the best.

Aqua Necklace is one of those Stands that possesses and controls a substance, like Iggy's The Fool. So it has the disadvantage of not being a ghost, it's visible to normal people (otherwise the brandy trick would work), but has the advantage that when Josuke goes punch crazy on aqua necklace, Angelo isn't blown into ten million pieces.

There are very few hard and fast Stand rules, but this one and "A stand's power is directly proportional to how close it needs to stick to the user if they want any kind of control over it" are fairly consistent I think.

I like how the Arrow either gives you a Stand, or kills people who can't handle one (like, say, Holly or young Josuke for example). So Koichi is hit and clearly doesn't have what it takes so, welp he's gonna die. But then Josuke heals him, so he is gonna live. So uhhh.... poo poo, what now? So his spirit encases his Stand in an egg, ready to hatch when he is capable of handling his new psychic powers. It's an incredible train of logic, I love it.

Part 2 stuff spoiled for courtesy here.

I feel like it's kind of a shame that the later Pillar Men (up until perfect Kars) don't have such a variety of crazy body manipulation stuff going on, instead sticking to their niches. The scene where Santana just walks through a guy and eats him on the way past is pretty sick.

I really like the Pillar Men, super vampires are a fun idea.

That's probably just Namco being extremely cautious. They changed Pet Shop to Animal Shop for the EoH localization too despite Pet Shop being seemingly ok for CR (and Viz?) to use.

Some stand users just seem to know what it can do innately. Others have to figure it out or only know the gist of it.

I think most people we see with Stands have had them a while right? I dunno if we know how long between Angelo escaping and Episode 1 of Part 4 was, but I think the only people we see earning their Stands and having to figure them out are Jotaro and Koichi, and they take a while to master them.

I'm meh on PB as a whole, but vampire Heathcliff is just such a delightful rear end in a top hat, and the beginning and end are so memorable and cool that I still think of it fondly even if, yeah I probably won't ever go back and read it again or anything.

On Sans' initial lukewarmness to Part 4, I wonder if you like slice of life? I was almost instantly in love with Part 4, but that's probably because my two favorite genre in anime are shown and slice of life, and DiU is essentially a fusion of the two, and that's pretty rare. I also love Josuke for having the best qualities from the first 3 JoJo's (kindness, cleverness, and coolness) while still feeling like a real teenager.

It also doesn't have the same looming threat of the big bad like SDC had, and I can understand that. But keep on the ride and I'm confident you'll love where things go.

As a counterpoint, I hate slice of life and part 4 is my favourite.

Yukako is pretty sexist, and the whole "crazy girlfriend" thing is, at this point, overdone to a ludicrous degree, but to be honest I've long since given up hope with the vast majority of shounen stuff so I can't bring myself to care overly much about something from the early 90s maybe being a little off, there are better female characters in later stories in Jojo, which is nice.

I made lunch for/with a friend who Actually Has Celiac once and turns out some gluten-free pastas are actually not too bad! The texture can be a little off, but depending on what it's made with, the pasta itself can have a nice flavor. You can do it, you can eat the italian food. I believe in you!

That or... Risotto? Can't do the butter/cheese finisher, so probably a stronger flavored meat or veggie one?

Given the number of tests for it we do daily at work, I estimate Doctors believe roughly 145% of the population of the UK has coeliac by this point.

araki basically went from 0 to 100 between phantom blood and battle tendency with the whole 'well these are super ancient flesh wizards that eat vampires as food' thing and from there there's really not much room to expand beyond 'one of them conquered the burn of sunlight and became the ultimate lifeform who was actually impossible to kill'.

that and hamon was a sort of boring jack of all trades energy thing that, if given a lot of fleshing out could have become its own thing over time i'm fairly sure, but the series as we know it would not be jojo's bizarre adventure and i feel it wouldn't have become as popular as it did. stands are here to stay. i won't say that absolutely 100% of everything is handled with stands from part 3 onwards, but a vast majority of it is.

Well if you had Hamon evolve into Stands, you've basically got nen.

The thing is, Red Hot Chilli Pepper is on a motorbike and Okuyasu can teleport, you just have to show that Jotaro is making an effort to get there as soon as possible and make the distance bigger and it's fine. It's been a while, and I read it all at once, but I never got the impression in the manga that Jotaro just kind of hung around and did nothing when he was able to just TOKI WO TOMARE and take the yellow kappa's loving head off.

The actual answer as to why Jotaro doesn't use his time stop as soon as RHCP appears to murder the hell out of it is because it's an Okuyasu character building fight and everything is always a slave to story telling.

It's not the answer you want, but it's definitely the right answer.

I wouldn't want Jotaro to like take over his fight or anything, but I think a little offhand explanation other than "Jotaro is thinking about sea cucumbers" isn't that onerous a request.
