re-read this bit cause I didn't remember it really and god yeah this rules so hard, highly reccomend everyone else do it

jolyne is able to completely take all of C-Moon's punches now and they do nothing. Then Pucci pulls out a security's guard gun to kill her and time suddenly stops and Jotaro swoops in

Having just finished part 7, the one that stands out to me (ha ha) is D4C’s...cubing...sponging? of Funny Valentine. My verbiage could be better ,but y’all know what panel I’m talking about. It’s not particularly violent or anything, but it carries a sense of wrongness about it.

Part 6 is absolutely, by a degree of multitudes, the most underrated part, and I am absolutely loving DYING to see it all animated. Like, every time I think about any given part 6 moment, I realize how loving cool it'll be in motion.

Like, think about how even relatively minor stuff like the "fight" with Johngalli A will be.

Part 6 has at least two big points in its favor
1) It has Jolyne, the coolest JoJo
2) It has the greatest panel in manga history

There are many panels and pages in Stone Ocean that could credibly called the greatest ever.

Other candidates include:

- "EMPORIO WE'RE IN A PLANE UNDER A HOSPITAL THAT'S GOING TO CRASH INTO THE GROUND" "...uhhhhhh...?"
- Jolyne beans an alligator with Anasui's engagement ring
- Anasui: Doesn't really know what's going on. Just kind of following Weather to find Jolyne.

I just remembered that the prison manager's assistant is also an alligator.



Part 6 is probably the best source of weird-rear end out of context panels.

A part 6 read thread could be cool to have before the part 7 one. It would be a good opportunity for the anime only people to jump on the manga train.

i think anime people would be less likely to want to read through 6 since it could feasibly be next up for animation and it's also connected to the previous parts

7 is an easier sell since it isn't

This post makes me think of Weather Report as a different take on Purple Haze. A powerful ability that nonetheless is dangerous to friend or foe.

So I finally got around to actually reading part 6 and finished it a little bit ago and...

What? What the gently caress?

Edit: to be clear this isn't a complaint but I found a lot of part 6 confusing and the very end got REALLY weird. "I reverse gravity which means I can turn things inside out?" "Well you can't turn me inside out if I'm a mobius strip!" is probably peak :psyduck:. The climax is just really fuckin wild in a lot of ways and leaving it I feel like I barely understand what the hell just happened.

It kind of is!

When Weather makes it rain poison frogs, the only thing keeping Jolyne from dying too is that she makes a blanket of string to shield herself

but I don't think Weather consciously controls Weather Report when it goes "Heavy Weather Warning" and causes city wide disasters. Like he controls the clouds and the lightnings, but I remember him being passed out in a dumpster when the frogs start falling and I feel like he and Anasui take a while to notice the whole snails thing

e: Wes was also was never able to kill himself, the chamber of the gun would be full of water or a gust of wind would lift him back on to a cliff if he tried to jump, so Weather Report itself seems to be a tad autonomous when it wants to be, a sorta Larry Trainor /Negative Spirit sorta deal
