I personally like that the stand arrows came from space because it explains why the arrow bounced off the alien dude in Part 4. Space arrow don't work so good on space boy.

Also there are tons of natural stand users. Polnareff, Kakyoin, Avdol and Iggy all developed them on their own.

it's kinda funny how they subtitled them as 'green tea and sanctuary' which makes it sound like it's supposed to be relaxing when even anime-only people already know that goddamn green day just out here carpetbombing a town with altitude mold

I wasn't sure how to feel about Green Day->Green Tea, but when you put it like that I like it now.

yeah, people should keep in mind that we only have 10 episodes left of part 5. there's only so much real estate to put stuff before the obligatory ending sequence that'll take up like 3-4 eps at a minimum no matter the part.

No, Star Finger is an attack from the time where Stands weren't quite defined yet so calling attacks shonen-style still happened. Sub-Stands get stats of their own.

In the comic, you just see a the standard black silhouette of The Boss/Diavolo hacking up Sorbet and Gelato. The anime changed it to have Cioccolata’s hair, and to also have Secco crouched in the corner filming.

It makes more sense this way. If Diavolo killed them he’d probably just punch holes into their torsos and disappear the bodies, all efficient like. If you want to make it as horrific as possible to send a message, send your most sadistic underling and his weird voyeur gimp.


(Also let me just say, you anime only people shouldn’t look it up for fear of spoiler images, but I have been dreading this episode unleashing a wave of Cioccolata-loving fujoshis on tumblr etc., and my fears have come true)

While I was watching Jojo last night with a couple of friends, one of them discovered a plot hole by the end of "Beneath a Sky on the Verge of Falling" - Bruno bit into his lower lip and began bleeding. But that doesn't make sense, since when he was pierced by that nail way back when after he was revived by Golden Wind, he wasn't bleeding there.

What's the deal with you, Bruno? Unless that's something that occurred in the original manga, as well.

Also, Cioccolata is a psychopathic murderer with crazy green hair and makeup. So he’s basically The Joker.

Fittingly, the key to surviving his stand is to RISE UP.

It is in the manga. You could go with something about how he still has blood in him, Giorno says as much, but really it's irrelevant. Hazamada was once as tall as Josuke, then he got beaten and shrunk down to Koichi size. No one actually has a completely set color scheme. Everything will be warped to match the tone and mood, and in that scene Bruno biting himself until he bleeds better emphasizes his emotional state than him gnawing on beef jerky lips.

It's not a plot hole, it's just a visual flourish.

I just figured there's still a little bit of blood sloshing around his body, even after most of it spilled out after he got Krispy Kreme'd. On one hand, it seems like he no longer needs blood to function, and on the other hand, there's no necessity for what little he still has to just up and disappear.

Hazamada's stand kicks in when someone is feeling guilt, so maybe it has some secondary ability where his own stature is based on his pride? That was how I explained it to myself, anyhow.
