I really like their boss also being their school principal, every one of her explanations comes with the energy of someone who's been trying to teach dumbass teenagers for far too long.

I retract my previous post about thinking Charmingman would be too much for the group dynamic, he's turning out to fit in pretty well.

Now that we have five, it's clear that this group is perfectly suited for capers. We have the muscle (Jodio), safecracker and forgeries (Dragona), camera disabling and electronics manipulation (Usagi), muscles sleight-of-hand (Paco), and disguises (Charmingman).

Over/under on the reason Usagi spilling his cup noodles being the stand that is attacking him?

I do enjoy Paco and Jodio showing up at the end as Usagi isn't breathing and going 'welp everything looks great they're relaxing on the ground.'

If you look at the security guards hanging out around them on these pages/panels, they're not drawn like Araki usually draws hapless NPCs, they're drawn with [resolute stares], usually the mark of a Stand user(s) lol.

Top of page 16 especially.

They don't say a single word, "Those guys didn't give a poo poo!", Charmingman continuing to stare at them even after they walk away... my Stand User radar is going off.

Page 13, Meryl Mei mentions something about land and gods that made me think of my post from last year:

SKULL.GIF posted:

I bet whatever the deal is with the lava rocks is related to Pele's Curse. When Jodio took the rock from Rohan, the diamond stopped teleporting back into Rohan's hands. Does the lava rock prevent things from being stolen from whoever possesses the lava rock? If that's the case, then that's the mechanism for how Jodio becomes filthy rich, he steals but can't be stolen from.

So if the lava rock brings back things it touches to the owner of the lava rock... what happens if you leave Hawaii while holding the lava rock?

That was my assumption as well. If I had to guess, it probably targets people who feel like they're engaging in fraud of some kind.

President Valentine set up a division of the Secret Service to prevent stand users from committing crimes in government buildings.

Good spot, though we've seen background or minor characters before that really look like Stand Users. Two of the guards are also hanging around when they are reading the deeds as well. My original thought was that this a guard Stand that attacks the reader of the land deed.

Side note, Howler's little logo is really loving cute (not sure if its actually a logo or Araki just doing the drawing images in text boxes again).

If Kenny G counts then we can probably include Poor Tom and Strength. Also maybe the sailboat guy from Vento Aureo.

The One True Oden

This is why stands are so much fun as a narrative tool. They can be attached to anything, and do anything, there are absolutely no rules.

Maybe each island has a stand, and they're toying with the humans living on them. The series ends with Jodio punching a volcano :allears:

Wait, no, he has rain powers, he erodes it!
