Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

main characters in Jojo are more resilient than they should be, being able to maintain composure and focus despite suffering horrendous injuries and extreme blood loss.

Jotaro and Josuke aren't exactly paragons of fair fighting, either.

Aye, even Giorno had his moments.

You mean that Jojo's protagonists are… shonen characters? Ô.Ô

Fighting dirty is a core tenant of Jo Jo. If you're playing fair then you're doing it wrong.

even when moving up seinen around Part 7, Jojo protags still maintain their shonen roots. they excel at doing the impossible and finding a way to succeed even when the enemy has every conceivable advantage.

No wonder Jonathan died.

He could never fight dirty. Man was a saint, I don't think he had a single mean bone in his body.

As for fighting dirty. We have to bring up Joseph. He would use any and EVERY dirty trick he could find. What's more amusing is that the only people who didn't mind were the Pillarmen, presumably because they already have the unfair advantage of being... Pillarmen.

While I wouldn't call it dirty, Jonathan was pragmatic when he needed to be.

he was certainly creative with his application of Hamon.

If Jonathan died for any reason related to fighting, it was because he didn't kill his opponent THOROUGHLY enough.

He didn't burn Dio's body from head to toe before he threw him off or go down to make sure that Dio was nothing but a pile of ash.

Savage Garden Plan… That was sort of refreshing. For once the main danger didn't come from an enemy Stand. The whole summoning a tornado to make poisonous frogs rain thing is a bit of an Ass Pull though. >.> Was Weather Report really that powerful? Speaking of which, WR is pretty damn talkative for someone presented as almost mute. Thankfully the guard didn't have the time to shoot Jolyne in the head, but… I'm not even sure that would have killed her.

Oh, and good to see good ol' DIO again. In a slightly unexpected light actually. We've had plenty of guys worshiping DIO fanatically, but our priest was his… "friend"? I don't even want to imagine what kind of "heaven" he was talking about. Whatever his method is, it ain't gonna be something pretty, that's for sure.

It's getting interesting. We have an enemy clever enough to notice Jo's thread, for one. But compared to The World, King Crimson or even Killer Queen… his Stand doesn't really look that powerful actually.

you're right. Whitesnake doesn't have much fighting capability, and it's range isn't too impressive either.

White Snake is shown to be pretty tough (it's strength is supposedly on par with King Crimson's) but the heroes of part 6 generally have very strong stands themselves. White Snake gets his time to shine against F. F., where he's essentially a horror movie villain. You'll see precisely what makes Pucci so formidable sooner or later.

Boning. The Heaven Pucci thinks about in reference to DIO was boning.

There's supposed to be a theory that Pucci thinks that Dio is Jesus Christ reincarnated or something.

Well, a good portion of his plan DOES center around DIO's bone.

Weather Report ties with Gold Experience for my favorite Stand, not only because of its looks, but also its power (plus, the band is really cool).

I'm kinda disapointed the guy isn't named Jamiroquai, because that's what his hat reminded me of. =[

In hindsight, Kira is literally a more attractive J. Geil. The climax of his fight even involves his Stand going into someone's eye and him disguising as someone else.

And a parent who's so driven to protect their child they'll enable these serial killers' habits

and some weird thing going on with his hands.

Yeah, we never got an explanation for why J. Giel's hands were like that, did we?

it seems like just a genetic mutation. his mother Enya has the same mutation.

Essay about Josuke's character design.

...I admit I didn't notice the hairdo was heart-shaped.

Now for a character design analysis of the Pillarmen.

Evidence that Jotaro is a decent human being
