Yeah this was my favourite part of that fight. If Jotaro had tried to go all out with the time stop as soon as he could do it he would've lost.

When was he able to do it?

Huh, some guy on /v/ just pointed out why Kars could pretty solidly beat DIO.

Turns out having the ripple makes you pretty good against vampires, and Kars had an insanely strong ripple at the end of Battle Tendency.

This plus I prefer its pacing.

The Star Platinum stopping Jotaro's heart part and the events surrounding it were better some in the OVA

It is much cooler when Polnareff directly has a hand in DIO's skull getting cracked than when Jotaro has to bail Polnareff out

BlitzBlast posted:

Two seconds after Jotaro decides "I'm going to wait for him to get close", Dio decides to do exactly that. Then Polnareff comes in out of nowhere and fucks up the entire plan.

Polnareff's one action in the entire fight is to gently caress up, it's great.

I think it's bad personally

I'm late to the party, but I've been reading Part 4 and I just finished Let's Go Eat Italian yesterday. If that gets animated, anyone who complains about it is, with no doubt, wrong.

That is and probably will always be my favorite arc in the entire series

Nothing else comes close.

Thanks for posting the translated version, tiistai, it's great (and very adorable now I know what everyone is saying).

I haven't gotten to Enigma on my reread, so I can't remember what the Enigma guy did that was bad enough to deserve getting turned into a book.

Attack his mom, just like the first guy he eternally punished.

I kinda like that the last villain they fight before Kira gets more or less the same fate as the first one. Bookends it rather nicely.

Whoa, somebody bought me a new avatar! Thanks, unknown beneficiary! I will strike a pose just for you.

Lisa Lisa is a pretty rad character, particularly for a female character in a shonen manga from the 80s. What's kinda fun also about Lisa Lisa is that there are so many stories in fiction about someone training under some hardass mentor only to find out that the mentor was actually their father or something and then the story speaks to the unspoken bond of kinship and manliness between a father and son and blah blah blah but you don't really see much in fiction stories about a dude learning essential life skills from their mom -- and I don't just mean manga, I mean in any fiction. So yep, that's cool. And for that reason I don't mind Lisa Lisa getting injured just to let Joseph have a chance to go do main character stuff, because even if her character had been male, that kind of poo poo always happens to the mentor character.

It's not like it doesn't happen to everyone else in Battle Tendency, either.

My friend and I were just talking about how much we wanted something like this to happen in Part IX the other day! :supaburn:

[8/22/2015 12:38:29 PM] Jacqueline: I want to see a fight between all the Jojos and one major villain, like JJBA the movie or some poo poo like that
[8/22/2015 12:38:43 PM] Jacqueline: Like, let's take all the heroes in their prime and face them off against one massive evil character

I can't be bothered to remember which of these losers no one cares about is dead or not.

You know, when you think about it, Gray Fly was one of the most effective assassins. I mean, without him, the Crusaders would have been to Egypt and back in like a week.

Actually they wouldn't have had Polnareff or Iggy, would have barely known each-other let alone have developed as people and DIO probably would've murdered them all

Prison Warden posted:

Yeah, Polnareff only hindered Jotaro against Dio. And I dunno, I kinda got the impression that it was experiencing stopped time that made Star Platinum realise its own power? So Jotaro would probably be able to fight Dio regardless.

It was almost definitely Joseph telling Jotaro in the first place that made it click

I love the poo poo out of Part 4 and everything in it that isn't Yukako and Koichi's stupid faces, but when Josuke vaults over the baby and mom after destroying the motorcycle and reforms it without losing speed my heart skips a beat

The sniper fight with the literal rat is incredible though

And the time a plate of spagetti gets punched

And the time Josuke uses a man's own blood to shoot him with a shard of glass

I like insane and outrageous happenings as much as the next person, but those can't replace genuine ingenuity during a high-stakes situation where a character is required to make a do-or-die decision and they come up with something loving creative and awesome.

See: Jotaro vs D'Arby

How is shooting someone with their own blood neither of those things
