History Awesome / JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable

---> '''Koichi:''' You might get away for now, but how do you feel? A little brat like me managed to find out what your name was. Let me say that again. ''A little brat'' got your name!

*** He was forced to drive the bike with above 60 mp/h a woman with a child was in his way. His solution: [[https://s5.mangadex.org/data/47ccc546d932bb06095d9413574e0b23/x17.jpg destroy the motorbike, fly over them and restore it in mid air]]. Bonus points for Josuke repeating history: a pompadour-wearing young man indirectly saves the life of a small child, which in turn can just watch in awe. He might keep that hairstyle alive for another generation of badass.

*** And that beating was so bad, that everything Kira does from that point on, including taking Kawajiri Kosaku's life and getting Bites the Dust, is to avoid facing Jotaro again.

** On some level, Hayato actually understood what made Kira tick. Kira mocks him by stating that fate can't be changed, that everything will pan out as it should- so when things go exactly the way they should, Hayato makes active decisions to ensure they happen the wrong way. [[spoiler:It's fate that his mother's tea set breaks; but Kira is the one holding the cup when it does. His mother gets a kiss on the cheek; but Hayato is the one to give it to her instead of Kira. This attempt doesn't work, but he comes damn close, and it still gets to Kira- a man who hates when things don't go as planned. And this is when Hayato learns two things: that Bites The Dust will protect him ''even from Kira himself,'' and that even if fate can't be changed (like Kira letting his name slip to Hayato as he gloats), ''where and how it happens can (like planning to have Josuke within hearing distance when Kira lets his name slip).'']]

** During his fight with Con-Artist Tamani Kobayashi, he musters up the HeroicResolve to crack his Stand's egg form and attack in defense of his family. At this point, he has no idea what Echoes is capable of but he is a quick learner. He first uses it to drive Tamani up the wall by slapping him with incredibly loud and annoying sounds. Then he uses it to ''[[CareBearStare heal]]''. By tossing the words "Believe me" into his mom (who was on the verge of PsychicAssistedSuicide from Lock), he not only saves her life but frees her from Tanami's influence. This results in Tamami being left a quivering wreck begging to be Koichi's toady.

** "Sorry, [[OhCrap but Killer Queen left its mark on the doorknob...]]"

---> '''Rohan:''' Sorry, but I refuse. You should know that one of Rohan Kishibe's favorite pastimes is saying "no" to fools who think they're tough shit.

*** Comes back a third time when Jotaro has Kira dead to rights with The World. He has to punch just once, and he inhales as if to call out to resume time, but then Jotaro flashes into the distressed faces of all his friends and decides he owes them at least one "ORA ORA ORA ORA"; ''then'' he resumes time. And when he activated "Star Platinum: The World" beforehand, the sound effect is changed: it removes the clock ticking associated with DIO's Stand, and it's mesmerising to hear with the climax of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQxbjZbhKlM "Final Battle"]] playing at the moment. Showing how this technique, usualyl synonymous with the danger of Dio's arrival, now heralds a serial killer's end.

* Ladies and gentlemen, the memes are over. ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66872DjhlAI This]]'' is what the Stands look like in live-action.

*** To initially trap him, he lets Angelo's Stand go down his throat, but he swallowed a plastic glove that he tied up inside his throat to catch the Stand.

** His blind rage at having his hairdo insulted makes Rohan's Heaven's Door completely useless, forcing a ''completely terrified'' Rohan to hide from his wrath underneath a bookcase that fell on top of him after the initial beatdown.

* While it ultimately cost him his life, Shigechi struck the first blow against Kira. By stealing that one button, he managed to clue Josuke into the fact that the killer was a Stand User.

* Yuya Fungami, the user of Highway Star, gets one when Josuke ropes him into fighting Enigma's user. Enigma can turn anything into paper, even people if its user can figure out their fear tell. Josuke and Koichi both get transformed, and Fungami has to go through several layers of paper to get to them. The last one? A paper shredder. Fungami freaks out when he can't turn it off, getting himself turned into paper... Which was what he wanted to happen - as paper, his hand is now thin enough to reach into the shredder and yank them free.

* The 36th episode of the anime. The opening starts up perfectly fine but then Bites the Dust triggers a few seconds into it. The opening then plays with most of it backwards, an awesome different variant (actually the second half) of the theme and Hayato looking determined rather than scared like in the normal opening.
** And unlike last time, where Jotaro was caught off-guard by DIO stopping time in End of the World, this OP ends with a shot of the Duwang Gang turning around, ready to face Kira head on, as opposed to having their backs to him like in the normal OP.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJ6QhxgqBUQ The opening to "Another One Bites the Dust, Part 2"]] is pretty nightmarish, with the titular Stand resetting the opening... but just as it goes back to the very beginning and Kira activates the bomb, the cast (who normally stand behind him with their backs turned) ''turn as one'' to look right at Kira, as if to say "It's on now!"
** Notably, this change sticks around after the opening turns back to normal.
