I'm not going to comment on the quality of the Italian since I don't speak Italian, but why is Polpo spelled Volvo in that mail?

There's no V in Japanese, the closest sounds you can do are B or P, so...it's probably a typo? Someone saw "polpo" and assumed they were talking about a volvo or something maybe?

Polpo is Italian for octopus iirc

It's an arcade game so it's going to be garbage that nickel and dimes.
I'd assume you'll get a swipe card or something so you can buy alternate outfits for keeps like Jotaro 3/4 and the cover art alts etc.

It'll be bad.
I'd dedicate my life to it if it came to home systems though.

The controllers in the teaser video (and button prompts in the screenshots) look like PS4 controllers so...maybe?

That's pretty weird. If it was 3 - 6, I could understand. Why only 5?

I guess it's just an anime tie-in for the parts that already have adaptations.

so they can add part 6 as an update to the arcade game (and DLC to the console port?) to bring everyone rushing back to play it, obviously (I hope)

Expect My Mom posted:

Yeah, what bugs me is that his job is part of his quiet life, it's his alibi, his mask, the place where he blends in. Hell he's respected there, women want to eat with him, guys try to drink with him. He even calls his boss in the middle of the final fight to say he'll be late. So "miserable" just feels out of character to me

To me it kinda sounded like he chuckled when he said it, like it's a typical thing to say about a job in a small town, kinda just because you're not "supposed" to enjoy your job, but he doesn't hate his job

It feels a little weird seeing a straightforward power like cryokinesis in Jojo, especially next to a lot of the other Stands in the part so far.

Yeah, it's cool to see it on a villain, too. Avdol had pyrokinesis: the stand and had to be written out of most fights because of how powerful that is.

With the knowledge that DIO could eventually just stop time forever more than likely... nah.

That's just because he's an immortal vampire, though. That power on a normal human, like Jotaro, only lets you stop time for about 2 seconds and it tires you out.

Couldn't they also just mindgames each other if they know how one another's stands work?

Like, if DIO knows how KC works he could just "wait" until the timeskip is over to stop time, but the boss wouldn't necessarily be able to tell the difference between "DIO standing still" and "DIO just waiting until KC timeskips to then immediately stop time and gently caress up the boss"

Conversely, the boss could ALSO just wait until he "sees" DIO stopping time using The World, and then skip past it/dodge

I feel like a fight between the two of them would just be a staredown until someone flinches

That only works if King Crimson can activate before The World. Which given how Dio typically yells ZA WARUDO before activating it, might actually work.

A better counter would be Bites the Dust. Doesn't matter how long you can pause time for if the whole day resets.

BTD only works if you don't know who Kira is though, iirc

I was just rereading the old parts since they got posted to Shonen Jump's site and it's kind of funny how quickly the stands went from tarot cards to "hmm, there's not that many tarot cards, gently caress. uhh, uhh... music references! hell yeah!"

It makes NO SENSE and doesn't even make sense here because one person destroys it and nothing happens and one destroys it and dies immediately wtf and I guarantee you we'll never see this dumb poo poo again

Bad writing is bad

SCR controls people's souls by giving everybody their own light source. Bucciarati died because he ended the body swapping shenanigans and his body is finally actually for-reals dead.

Ok so why didn't Chariot Requiem die when King Crimson punched his sun soul? Why did it only die when Buccaletti punched his? Was it a special 2 soul suns for one deal?

If Buccaletti is dead cos his body is dead then it is would be utter bullshit if Polnareff isn't dead too, but we didn't see him at all this episode because...

KC didn't completely destroy his sun so SCR didn't get completely destroyed, you keep asking the same question

Star Platinum and The World both have the same power, they are only made different in how long they can stop time for.

It's not that the stands can stop time for different amounts of time, it's that stopping time is incredibly tiring and unless you're an immortal vampire you probably can't stop time for more than a couple seconds. The World and Star Platinum are essentially the same stand, but DIO being DIO means he can stop time for longer.

I regret my actions

Let's change the subject!

So if

1) Your Stand is your soul (Black Sabbath shows this explicitly)

2) An arrow can fuse with your Stand (Black Sabbath, Gold Experience Requiem, maybe Killer Queen Bites the Dust)

3) The arrows are actually forged from an alien virus

Does that mean that Polpo, Giorno, and Kira are part alien? Like, their soul is part alien virus. Does this explain why Polpo could turn into a bed and regrow his fingers, or why Kira's hair changed to black and white? Mikitaka (Part 4's alien(?)) could transform, but that seemed to be a natural ability and not a Stand (he couldn't see Stands), so does becoming part alien allow you to shapeshift to an extent? Maybe?

Also something about how you have be an rear end in a top hat otherwise you die to the alien virus
