Tonio should have joined the DiU group as the healer.

I like how he got a sex change off screen.

The sex change was jarring when I read through Stone Ocean but I realized that it made sense since there needed to be someone to tag along with Weather Report and the prison was sex-segregated. I don't know if that's the actual reason though.

At any rate, I feel like too many authors use the "rocks fall, everyone dies" ending because due to time constraints, burnout, whatever it's tidier than closing any hanging plot threads.

Does this really happen? I can think of only a few examples where the story ended with everyone (or even most characters) dying.

Generally when should we expect the next Jojolion chapter?

Out of all the Jojos so far, possibly excepting Jolyne, Josefumi has been by far the most martially competent

I think Doppio looks different because Diavolo is contorting his muscles? I feel like that was mentioned somewhere, that its more of a posture thing and not a stand power that the two of them look different.

Not sure if anyone here knows what I'm talking about, but I wanted to give it a shot. Several months ago I was trawling some Japanese twitter account for Jojo fanart, and came across this series of "Deadly Sins" pictures featuring each Jojo antagonist. As it was super late at night at the time and I was pretty drunk, I thought 'Neat' and moved on and didn't save it. I've since tried to track it down several times and never managed to do so.

The most prominent one I remember is DIO sprawling out on silky red sheets, representing Sloth. Kira represented Lust, Diavolo represented Wrath, Dio Brando represented Envy, and so on. Each had a separate piece dedicated to them. The fanart was pretty high quality. Did anyone else come across this and/or can point me towards it?

Reading his comments also made me realize that I love DiU a lot because any other part would've loving killed Okuyasu, but nah, DiU goes through with some guy we barely knew, a fairly likable girl we also fairly knew and the villain.

I still think it's kinda lovely DiU brought back Okuyasu and damages the ending which was otherwise spectacular.

I'm not comfortable with Jojo music references outwardly resembling themselves, only DIO's the World should have that distinction

I'm...not really certain I understand. What are those things, and why would giorno think they would stop the guy who magically freezes stuff from magically freezing the water?

Freezing takes time and energy/effort. In Jojo, even for people with magical Stand powers, they generally hold fast to physics. It takes more effort for Magician's Red to melt steel than to burn wood. Things that have more whatever takes more time and/or effort to freeze. Salt water, in particular, takes more work to freeze than fresh water. If you live anywhere above the Mason/Dixon Line then you may have seen snow plows sprinkling salt on roads to help melt snow.

It was a fairly clever idea by Giorno, he just underestimated how powerful the Stand was.
