Well, you're coming right out of Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town, which was pretty different, cool and funky (depending on the version). It was just a tough act to follow, I guess.

Yeah it's just fairly out of topic for DIU, it would have worked better as a phantom blood or crusaders opening.

I kinda liked it when it premiered but Great Days floors it so thoroughly it really feels sandwiched between two of the openings it clashes the most with.

But he's talking about Narancia.

You know, I've noticed that while Giorno is a bishonen with light and pretty looks, he's still recognizably a boy while Narancia could be confused for a boyish-looking girl on any day of the week.

Narancia's appearance and height were shown in his backstory to be a result of him spending years on the street homeless and malnourished.

[up]Oh, I know. I was making an observation about Narancia's design in comparison with Giorno's design, that's all.

Hey, so I'm not a huge follower of Jojo. My main form of exposure is watching the anime on Toonami.

I have a question about Josuke. Is he visually inspired by any real life characters?

I've always thought that he was visually inspired by Prince mixed with both the fashion style and visual appearance of Rachael (that hair, seriously) from ''Blade Runner, and the Shout-Out page says he looks a bit like Elvis Presley.

I suppose it's possible. Jojo is pretty much reference overdosed at all times.

Just caught the latest episode.

I didn't like Chase at first but admittedly the animation is better than CNBT which is a bit too goofy. The EDM remix is the WORST J Ojo opening hands down.

RIP Evil Boyfriends. Ironically they probably took less bullets than Mista did.

About of all the possible localizations for next week's stand, I was not expecting Notorious Chase.

Narancia looks like a lady because that's an Aerosmith song.

So, I saw the new episode.

So, um.

Narancia is badass, I guess.

Man Narancia isn't my favorite of the Crusaders Traitors but I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy his fights/he hasn't grown on me.

Nah Chariot, you will end up on team narancia in due time.
- Vertigo_High November 3, 2018

Not sure you saying you told me is accurate since while I do like him better than Fugo now he's still below Mista and Bucciarati for me. About the only other member I might rank him higher then is Abbacchio and that's mostly because Narancia has had more time to shine since I think he's been in more fights than either Fugo or Abbacchio at this point. At the very least he's tied with Abbacchio anyways.

Man Carne is one disgustingly ugly motherfucker. Mists should cap just being so hideous alone.

Though shit this was a brutal episode & huh Spice Girl comes in next week.

How did Narancia identify a stand user because they panicked at seeing someone carrying around their severed tongue?

Moth13 Since: Sep, 2010
#21022: Mar 29th 2019 at 5:48:14 PM

The logic is that only the stand users would be able to see the stand attached to the tongue and freak out about their plans going awry. It's goofy though for sure because a severed tongue is still freaky by itself.

I think the logic was that nobody was paying him attention because it was crowded. And, like. You don't pay attention to other people in a crowd. Unless you specifically are searching for someone in it.

Damn. Notorious BIG is pretty messed up...

And I checked just to be sure:

The actual Biggie Smalls died in 1997. This came out in 1999.

So a stand that activates when the user dies is named after a deceased Rapper...that's a dark sense of humour you got there Araki.

Next week...not a girl, but a lady apparently.cool

go and give some love to that cover of fighting gold.

He's also done a few other jojo openings, but this one really nails it to me.
