So was that pipe/straw that sprayed out Jobin’s blood something that appeared as part of the “disaster” or was it a stand attack of some kind from Tooru?

The whistleblower falling apart was creepy, but the most disturbing thing in this chapter is Akefu talking like he's not some kind of disembodied reflection.

I'm assuming every antagonist aside from Jobin has been one so far including possibly Tooru?

It’s almost enough to make me worry that it’s the last one, perish the thought.

It's a goofy theory considering Jolyne ignores Anasui anyway, and she still expresses her jealously of bisexual snail orgies.

Did you perhaps… Come here… Intending to 'Pursue' me? I see… So you are pursuing me… I understand. So then, the lid of this jar, have you tried opening it? What I’m saying is… Simply looking at that jar from the outside, you wouldn’t know for certain that what’s inside it is a 'Fruit', no…? Isn’t that right? Though it certainly seems to be fragments of 'Something'… But looking from the outside, those may be potato fragments… or perhaps onion fragments… it may not look like an onion… but that definitely looks like it could be a large mushroom! How can you be so definitive in saying that what’s inside that jar is a 'Fruit'? I’m explaining the fact that you 'Opened' the jar. Because after you received that package, you opened the lid with your hands, you 'Smelled' it. And it’s because it gave off the sweet and sour scent of a 'Fruit'… that you came into this room thinking it was a 'Fruit'. You got all excited thinking 'I’ve got an exclusive scoop here', didn’t you? And then… you perhaps got some fruit juice from the lid stuck to your finger. Just a little of it. Or perhaps you were careless and licked that finger. If fate were particularly unlucky, there’s a rather good chance that when you were putting the lid back on, some fruit juice seeped into a small cut on your skin or your fingernail.

Yeah I can't lie this kinda thing was pretty hard to read through. I got used to it but it just constantly took me right out of whatever was happening at the time. Looking forward to the anime adaptations in 6 and 7 in 20 years

There's definitely a way to write that whole bit from the doctor, emphasis and all, but jojolion's suffered before with the whole ou~~~~~~~~~~~~uuu poo poo and enough times it just turns something as simple as "here is a guy showing off his intelligence by doing some sherlock-style detective work" into that. I kinda wish I could think of how to make it sound better.

Kart Barfunkel posted:Just finished Stone Ocean. RIP to life, the universe and everything. No, everyone that didn't die before or during the universe being reset were just transported to the new universe. Jolyne bought him just enough time to survive until then. Unless you meant how did he survive after Pucci died in which case it was because Pucci's death collapsed the universe and created a new one where everyone that had previously died was recreated. Emporio got around that presumably by having survived the previous reset. zetamind2000 fucked around with this message at 03:02 on May 22, 2020 |

RatHat posted:What do you mean? Part 6 spoilers I guess. Emporio has precise knowledge that the universe has been reset, unlike the rest of the crew at the end of the arc, who all underwent name changes. How exactly did Emporio survive the universe reset? Is it because he didn’t explicitly die at the end or is it related to his stand ability? Edit: I see. Emporio knows because he knew about Pucci’s plan.

If Rai's whole "...seriously, 89 years old!?" thing was foreshadowing to Satoru and Tooru being the same person, what exactly was the thing he noticed? "No 89-year-old would move his rear end like that..."

my guess is that since they were eating calamities that whole time they were chasing the stand, which we've seen can move extremely fast when it doesn't just decide to be a reflection or something i wouldn't be totally surprised if araki is now thinking about an eventual anime adaptation and wrote it knowing it would make more sense in the anime when we could physically see it move
