Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

@shooting Jotaro while he was down: Actually, he did do that. Unfortunately for him, he wasn't around for the beginning of the series when everyone couldn't shut up about Star Platinum being able to catch a bullet out of the air- and even if he was aware, Jotaro still managed to catch the damn thing after it had entered his body without physically reacting to it. This isn't a case of DIO not being pragmatic enough. This is a case of Jotaro Kujo being Jotaro Motherfucking Kujo.

Should've used Space Ripper Stingy Eyes, though. What's the point of having laser beams that shoot out of your eyeballs if you don't use them? Star Platinum ain't gonna catch a laser.

It's more a superheated blast of eyeball juice, really.

That's what you think.

Oh yeah. DIO actually did shoot him. I forgot that part.

As for Star Platinum catching or not catching a laser...

Eh. I'll say it's 50/50.

Shoot him in the face. Repeatedly.

Welp, live and learn Brando.

I like to think that DIO Gone to Heaven is a DIO who actually used the Space Ripper Stinger Eyes...or just threw a punch during that final clash.

They are not superheated blasts of eyeball juice. They are Frickin' Laser Beams. Stop with your uncool nonsense.

There's nothing uncool about something so bizarrely gross and impossibly powerful. That is what Jojo is made of.

La, la, la, la, la, I'm not listening, Frickin' Laser Beams.

And also a lot of very poetic-sounding speeches.

DIO shot Jotaro with a gun, then checked for his breathing, then checked for his heartbeat and then went to chop off his head. He was a lot more careful than most people.

Yeah, but if he's just used his fucking laser eye goop attack, then he'd have succeeded.

It's not that he wasn't cautious (he was damned cautious during the fight) but that he didn't use his most efficient attack even with all that caution. Against anyone else, everything DIO did to check if Jotaro was dead would have been sufficient, but it wasn't.

This is why you use the Space Ripper Stinger eyes! That's the real reason you lost DIO It had nothing to do with pissing Jotaro off, and everything to do with not using all his powers.

Being overconfident during that second to last time stop and just dancing around Jotaro instead of giving him the Kakyoin treatment while he was frozen in time didn't help either.

Alright. Just finished episode 1 (or I guess episode 25) of the Egypt arc of Stardust Crusaders.

Man, I didn't know Iggy was purposely brought in as an extra man, though I did always wonder how he became part of the team.

...Needs to work on his team work skills though.

Somebody call a crazy killer bird!

Is the SBR universe meant to be one of the universes that comes after Eternal Recurrence or is it just an alternate version of the Part 1-6 universe(PB) universe? Since the end of Part 6 doesn't seem to hint anything of future parts to my knowledge, I assume it's just a parallel rather than successive universe

Get ready for Iggy to do absolutely nothing of value until that fight with Pet Shop.

Its never said one way or another if SBR is a reset universe and ultimately it doesn't matter.

Episode 2.

Man, Iggy is a dick.

Edit: Episode 3 of the Egypt arc:

...Is it weird that I was kinda cheering for Oingo to get out of there in one piece. I'm surprised he actually lived through that.

That's exactly my point about Dio. Dio has no excuse for not using his powers.

Oingo and Boingo are such pathetic villains that you can't help but feel sorry for them.

Oingo was exploded so hard it split his body in half down the middle vertically and he still survived. I do love the Oingo Boingo brothers. Boingo's comic has a really neat artsyle in its ugliness, and I believe these two are the first showing of passive Stands in the series. Also, their goddamn ending theme is glorious.

Also, our introduction to the Egyptian Gods is the water guy, which implies that they're going to be a major step up in threat level from the Tarot Cards. Then the Oingo Boingo brothers are the VERY NEXT ANTAGONISTS.

And now episode 4 is down.

Yeah, Polnareff really needs to stop running off on his own. They were better off without him.

Think he'd be better if Jotaro ORA'd him for a while, or it'd get worse?

Probably worse.

Ok, I admit, he could be pretty useful at times, but seriously, the number of times he gets himself and others in trouble due to not staying the fuck still is real annoying.

And I like him too. I just don't like that he's the one who always grabs the Idiot Ball.
