On that note, someone I know wonders why Terunosuke got singled out with an extremely harsh fate despite all of the other Stand Users trying to kill Josuke and Pals, but I'm just going to assume that one is because his motivation is "I'm just going to kill people in defense of a serial killer for basically no reason". Superfly Guy and Yuya both at least were motivated by self-serving reasons and both pretty much immediately shifted sides.

He attacked Josuke's mom is the difference.

Terunosuke, the Enigma guy with the paper Stand, not Angelo.

This confirms that like the sweater the mesh non-shirt was Doppio's idea

I think the mesh shirt was a bad design choice for Diavolo, his two main traits are being the only straight guy in the gay mafia and concealing his identity at all costs, so why does he dress like he's going to a Rocky Horror Picture Show screening?

I assume Diavolo normally dresses a certain way, but he had to just go with whatever Doppio happened to be wearing when he found himself at the final battle.

"That must weigh heavily on your soul. Let me purge it for you."
I'm making good headway with Diamonds right now, regarding the dub did I imagine it or was there a point late in SDC where they started caring about making all the musical references. Vanilla Ice > Cool Ice, Crazy Diamond > Shining Diamond. For some reason Koichi's stand gets renamed from Echos to Reverb which seems pointless. Some of the more explicit ones to be fair, and maybe it's just that we got to the point the Araki ran out of tarot and Egyptian gods to name stands after (and doesn't want us thinking about how there was a collection defined by the tarot to the point that they could deduce that Dio possessed The World, even though there's a bunch more stands out there)

The general consensus for the name changes are "they could probably technically get away with a fair amount of them but musicians are the most litigious people on the planet so better safe than sorry"

I think after a while Araki might have gotten tired of coming up with (Color) (Tarot) names, because notably there are none after Yellow Temperance.

I've been reading Witch Hat Atelier and recommended it to my sister (who doesn't read much manga) and we've been talking about it. She mentioned thinking Agott (a cold, austere girl) was being too mean to Coco (the more cheerful protagonist) and I assured her they became friends later, to which she responded, "She almost killed her!" and I realized I'm in too deep, because my first thought was "Man, it's manga, who hasn't tried to kill their future best friend?"

Sometimes you just need to almost murder someone before you realize they're the friend you've been missing.

iirc he never actually apologized for any of that either, he just showed up at josuke's like "hey we're best friends now" and josuke just rolled with it

keep in mind that this is pretty much part of the setup for what eventually happens to him

araki loves using that as shorthand for someone being a shithead that deserves it
