Part 5 is good. Wonder if they'll do any changes to the first fight with Zipper guy where he gets hit by GioGio's stand. Filling the zipper guy with "life" didn't make a whole lot of sense and he never did it again for the whole series.

Dude absolutely not Bruno getting slowmo punched is like totally iconic

Going by page count, from when the main cast first begins fighting the main villain (the part that confuses everyone) to the end of Part 7 is slightly longer than the entirety of part 2.

it took me till today after first reading Part 5 four years ago to realize the pattern on Brunos chest is a tattoo and not some sexy mesh undershirt he wears

Wait, really? I still didnt notice even in animation.


I like that the animators are strugging so much with how to do Brunos little hair tufts on the crown of his head

Only Stands (and I guess the Arrow) can damage stands, so the completely visible to normal people Stands would also need to be able to be harmed by normal people.

I thought if the Stand had a physical form visible to non-users it could be harmed? Like Forever's ship could have been - in fact, should have been - sunk by the Chinese navy.

The "only Stands can hurt Stands" rule came out of the mouth of noted Standologist and cowboy Hol Horse, anyway.

Isn't Thoth the one stand that always gets it right though?

I Imagine in like Surface and Strengths case, its the wooden doll/crappy rowboat thats getting damaged should you attack the stand and not like.. the Stand.

If you think about it, pretty much every fight in Stand-era JoJo is just the protagonists working past the Enemy Stand User's bullshit to the point they can punch them in the face and win

Yea, especially in Part 3 where the heroes get locked down really often. The only things that feel like real, equal fights are Pet Shop, Vanilla Ice and DIO

Most of the enemy of the week fights are sneaky, they really feel like assassins in the way, say, Tao Pai Pai didnt since they were all concerned with striking from the shadows.

It makes zero sense that buccialati would zip through the thin film and never notice the other boat. AND, since its been shown that hes zipping through both in one go, he should have sunk them both in one go as well!!!!!!

Luckily this is the only fight i dislike in all of part 5 and its really not even that bad

I watched a bunch of reaction vids when DiU was airing and even some of the people who were familiar with the comic had said "Shining Diamond" by mistake a few times. It fits well and sounds nice.

The blind thing everyone was laughing about seemed to make perfect sense? He was breaking Mista's line of sight so he could dodge out of the way and escape through the back, and it would have worked just fine if not for Sex Pistols.

Its just funny because Mista has sex pistols and the move ends up being useless. Its also really well comedically timed, Mista takes a little beat before shooting blindly. Its definitely meant to be laughed at, even if it makes sense.

Look, Mista doesn't want his gun jamming on him in the middle of a battle. Six shots is enough to kill anything that moves and hell, there's nothing like the feeling of slamming a long silver bullet into a well greased chamber.

Crazy Diamond was the best stand so far from a narrative perspective. It had easy to understand rules and could do a wide variety of surprising things without completely breaking those rules. While it's still extremely powerful it never feels cheap, and Josuke not being able to heal himself provides an uncomplicated but meaningful drawback.


If you like stands being versatile yet simple youll love the protag of Stone Oceans stand

douglas is a bit deeper than i would have personally chosen, but i really like morikawa's almost sing-song quality to the way Kira talks. i also just think the things kira says just typically sound better in japanese, like in the classic "Dame, dame, dame, dameeee" or "Itami ni taerooo" (endure the pain), but im excited to see douglas' take on the character

I dont know what he could do, maybe some sort of tsk tsk tsk? Stop stop stop?

The cool thing about JoJo is it is full of great, intentional jokes. So you don’t even need to watch it ironically to think it’s hilarious!

Arakis just got a way with words that I appreciate. Most people would just have Joseph say that confronting DIO sent a chill down his spine but Araki says it "felt like someone shoved an icicle up my rear end"

It's not terrible but I remember being annoyed that Rohan says that he likes telling strong people no instead of people who think they're strong.

Like even in a hopeless situation where he's been pinned and is helpless Rohan still won't concede that they're tough.

At least they fixed it from "people I think are strong" which was like the exact opposite of what was going on

to be fair there were literally two rats with the same exact stand in part 4

I like to think that since stands are the manifestation of someones psyche then all animals of the same species have the same stand since they mostly operate off of the same impulses and dont have much of a psyche to speak of.

Well maybe the orangutan, Iggy and Petshop all come from species that are intelligent enough to have different kinds of stands, but weve never seen any other orangutans, dogs or eagles with a stand.
