Mista is directly stated to have gotten his stand from Polpo's arrow test, the bullets all missing him was just a freakishly unlikely (but technically possible) series of events, like Thunder McQueen's gun going off while a person just so happened to be falling past his window

*doki* *doki*
Araki really has some balls to end Stone Ocean the way he did.
Every other author would make use of their established cast and world and run it forever. But Araki is just like yea, i'm just gonna erase everyone's beloved character and husbando Jotaro and throw it all away and start something else.

I don't think Sex Pistols did that, that was just one of those Fate things like Pucci and Weather being unable to die until their annointed times

No poo poo? Well drat, my mistake. That makes sense. Bruno gets him out of jail and then he gets his Stand. Could work either way though but yeah, that'll happen when you just watch the anime and don't read the manga enough times. :v:

The bullets missed Mista because it's canon that he really bloody stinks.

Anytime a character asks, "I wonder if I can use my stand to do this?" The answer is always yes.

Note: "this" encompasses any action imaginable except not getting shot by your own gun, any attempt at which is tantamount to attempting to defy Fate

I love the podcast I'm listening to (Dogs Must Die) coming to the realization that FF with Sex Pistols would be an OP team-up since FF can actually get away with shooting herself.

It's weird how the Pistols never even try to deflect bullets away from Mista, they always just kinda stand there and watch him get owned

Just Mista's luck to get a stand that has it's own initiative but only when whining about food or bullying each-other, or helping anyone other than Mista himself.

Alternatively, maybe Mrs. Bluemarine was only able to switch the babies because there were two of them and didn't have the heart to do it when it was just Weather so they grew up as normal siblings.

I hope they become JoJo myth busters and start looking into actual production history for the series and sorting facts from rumors.

Barring that, I want them to bring up all the Araki JOJOVELLER episode stories like Jojo's World has been doing.

N’doul seems to imply the Egypt arc villains aren’t even getting paid and just like, following Dio because he’s the “Messiah for the wicked” or whatever. Basically they were all Pucci’s. They’re all carrying Dio’s printer is what I’m saying.

I was disappointed that Chip and Grant didn't realize that the movie Jolene was watching and rewinding was a pastiche of Memento

Me when they imply Jotaro Kujo did not remember his high school days (He does, perfectly. He just knows that dressing like a protagonist makes people want to mess with them, and you should put them in the hospital to solve it)

N'doul was a fanatic though, some of them didn't seem to really care and just wanted to murder Jotaro and pals real bad. I'm guessing they all have varied motivations that aren't particularly important.

To be fair, there was no guarantee DIO stayed in Egypt. He could've just shown up to find Avdol in particular.

Yeah, I think DIO showed up at Avdol’s shop before he opened, so that tells us nothing of where DIO’s actually hiding out.

How far could a man reasonably move in 3 weeks though?

Like a mile? Maybe 1.3 kilometers?
