Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

What's annoying about part 5 is that, Giorno aside, about the first two thirds are absolutely excellent including what I call the "no-hitter" - a massive string of excellent fights that are absolutely gold.

Even the main plot is pretty solid; the problem is that after a very specific point I.E. them finding out Diavolo's face... the story kind of grinds to a halt (since that clue doesn't get them anywhere) and they need a deus ex Polnareff to solve the mystery for them. Then you get all the shit with the requiem and the story kind of just falls apart.

Also, unlike Pucci or Valentine, Diavolo's backstory doesn't actually make him any more interesting or compelling as a villain. I thought he wasn't as bad people made him out to be in the earlier parts of the story, especially because the Doppio stuff was cool, but once he's revealed proper he ceases to be interesting.

Somebody's doing a who would win between the Part 3 and Part 4 Stand users fight on Reddit.

I'm pretty sure Part 3 wins that

Part 3 isn't as dominant as you'd think (this is villain stands, not hero stands).

A lot of Part 3 villain stands... kind of suck.

Well, it's basically just Jotaro and DIO cleaning house. The time stopping helps.

Okuyasu could be a threat if he can get close enough or catching with their guard down though.

If we're talking pure Villains, I can't really say.

I wonder what the ending theme of Vento Aureo is going to be.

I just hope Giorno's personal theme is a heroic version of DIO's World.

I was wondering that too.

Can can they use Wannabe or Gangsta's Paradise?

Wouldn't High Priestess be able to hijack Superfly? Also I figure Cream could beat a lot of villain stands.

HEY WAIT A FREAKIN MINUTE

Couldn't arabia fats possibly beat Dio with the Sun, since sunlight is dio's weakness?

Anyway i'm totally excited about Part 5 anime! FINALLY!!!! Can't wait to see Narancia in action!

I think Gangster's Paradise would be good for Part 5's ending.

To hear Gangster's Paradise in an anime would be astounding.

I was thinking about Welcome to the Family, but yeah, Gangster's Paradise would be cool (and probably better known).

My personal pick, if we want to be really on the nose: Giorgio by Moroder.

It'll probably be something none of us will guess, but makes perfect sense in retrospect.

Whatever it is, it'll never top this masterpiece.

Woke up this morning.

There was a Stand in Part 4 that "ate" Josuke and Koichi, wasn't there? Act like a parallel dimension.

Are you thinking of Enigma?

If he was the guy who trapped Josuke and Koichi then yes. I couldn't find him on the wiki for some reason.

Ah yup, this guy. Trapped them in pieces of paper. Might not work on Dio but it'd probably get a few of the lessers.

Considering how much DIO likes to read, imagine if Rohan snuck one of his manga pages into one of DIO's books...

Jotaro: You did what now?

Rohan: I trapped your family's mortal enemy inside of a manga. I'm still trying to think of a name I was thinking... Dio's Bizarre Adventure! Yeah, it'll be a story about a young man named Diego... Jo, Jotaro, hey, where are you going!? Don't walk away when I'm mid-sentence!

Enigma needs conditions to work though, he'd need to know his opponents' fear tells before trapping them with it. If his opponents don't give him a chance to do that then he's not going to last long.

Terunosuke dealing with D'arby Sr. could be interesting.

I wonder what exactly happens to the stuff that Cream or The Hand eliminates
