History YMMV / VanishingAct

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Considering the addition of 3 Stand users to the Phantom Thieves, it would have been interesting to see how [[BonusBoss Caroline and Justine]] would react to fighting Stand users.

* BetterThanCanon: From the way the two franchises are seamlessly merged together, to how Shizuka's character is handled, as well as the expansion to both source materials. Everything feels like it's both part of the actual game as well as an original [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure JoJo]] Part.

* {{Tearjerker}}:

** [[spoiler: Minato/Door-kun is back in business.]]
* WhatAnIdiot: Nozomi tries skimming off the top of Mr. A's money, even though Mr. A is one of the nastiest Stand-users in Tokyo. Of course he dies horribly.

** Lifeson's death, his last words calling out for his sister.

* HilariousInHindsight: Many of the ideas introduced in the fic -- the presence of a therapist, new Palaces, Futaba gaining combat capabilities, taking the Velvet Twins around the city, [[spoiler: Morgana becoming human]] -- would later be canonized by ''[[UpdatedRerelease Persona 5 Royal]]''. Hell, Makoto even pulls off some RapidFireFisticuffs in the trailer! (Though it's a ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' reference, technically. But same effect since [=JoJo=] was inspired by it.) [[spoiler:There's even an endgame plot that involves breaking free a LotusEaterMachine that traps the Phantom Thieves in an idealized version of their lives. For extra hindsight, TheSixthRanger for Royal, Kasumi, has a case of SuccessfulSiblingSyndrome like Shizuka... though on a much more tragic scale.]]

** Mr. A's Stand power is to control vectors. If this sounds familiar, it's because Mitsuba Higashikata from ''Manga/JojosBizarreAventureJojolion'' ended up having a very similar one.

* EpilepticTrees: According to the canon timelines, the confrontation with Izanami in ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'' occurred the same year and just a few days before Pucci summoned Made in Heaven. With {{Canon Welding}} in effect, it's been posited by many readers that the former is somehow the reason for the pre-reset [=JoJoverse=] still existing. Of course, that doesn't account for [[spoiler:TheCameo of the ''Steel Ball Run'' universe in Wicked Star (III)...]]

** Satoshi [[spoiler: writing to his son for the last time before he storms Club Ravana to get back at Mr.A]].

* HarsherInHindsight: Joseph's death prior to the story is already [[sad enough Tearjerker]] but takes an even more poignant tone with the death of Creator/UnshoIshizuka, Old Joseph's voice actor.
