Why wasn't Josuke's mother a more prominent character? Why do so many characters quickly become irrelevant?
Part 4 was off to a good start but became worse over time.

Felt kind of aimless as well
Part 4 literally only improved with time, pleb.
This is my main problem with part 4 as well, it started off so good but just got boring towards the end. The art style change was a mistake too.
Still had the best anime adaptation. The music that DP put out for DiU was masterful.
>Why wasn't Josuke's mother a more prominent character?
This is like asking why Jotaro's mother wasn't a more prominent character. She's a plot device for Josuke's motivation, not an actual person to be explored.
Then why was she introduced independently of Josuke?
Araki wanted to try something different, nigger I don't know. Expecting more out of her is just silly.
You mean like Holly who was introduced independently of Jotaro? She's literally the first SC character we meet.
RIP Diamond Records
this
>Holly
>introduced independently of Jotaro
Pretty sure the order is Joseph meets Holly at the airport, they talk a bunch and then Jotaro is brought up. If that's not an independent introduction, than neither is Josuke's mom who we see with him within seconds of the same sub-story.
This. What the fuck is wrong with you OP. Part 4 only became more kino as it went on.
Who cares if Josuke didn't beat every enemy himself. Araki did that with Jotaro in the first half of Part 3 and it didn't work.
Instead we got episodes focusing on Koichi, Rohan, Yukako, Kira and amazing one off side characters like Tonio, Cheap Trick, and the Ayy.
Yeah, why isn't as well developed as Giorno's, Jolyne's or Jotaro's mom. It's not like there has only been one mother of the mc that was remotely relevant in the whole series.
you mean like how relevant jolyne or giorno or jotaros moms were?
People really are grasping at straws to criticize Part 4.
The biggest problems with Part 4 were the Okuyasu being absurdly underused and Joseph being a useless retard, which was an issue in Part 3 as well. I can't really fault the part for anything else
Yeah, Okuyasu could have engaged more in fights even if it meant him being stupid. Like I was never expecting him to resolve the actual problem, but him being there during the brawls instead of just the slice of life stuff would have been way more fun. Granted, the SoL where Okuyasu is involved is God tier.
What?
Some FTP mobile game by the looks of it.

Like he's more prevalent than others, but hardly THAT prevalent. He's the third most common character which makes sense because he's the tertiary character of the gang.
Based user destroying memers with the facts.
I know what Diamond Records is, but are they closing it?
From what I read on the Jojo wiki, yeah. Closing down next month.
Because Araki literally can't write female characters.
Josuke's grandfather should have died later on in P4, where he gets a character change from aloof, distant sort of delinquent kid to determined and courageous protector of the town.
that's kind of sad, the game looked fun until they changed the genre for no reason
Kira should have killed him, too bad Araki doesn't know how to plan
Like Mista, skip part 4. It's literally a filler arc.
Why wasn't Josuke a more prominent character in his own part?
Fug you.
Because he was in the part that introduced Araki's avatar
>that little part in 6 where rohan was keeping up with made in heaven
its the little things
So many side characters and so little use to them. Quite disappointing, honestly.
It's bad when the protag is prominent in a Stand part, like Stone Ocean
There was a point part 4 should have stopped adding new characters and just used the ones it had
Jolyne is the best protag though.
I wish this were true and we got more episodes about Koichi instead of Josuke scamming
Koichi only had about 4 fights in the entire part 4 and yet you faggots complain about way too much koichi
>evolves a new Act each time he fights
God Koichi's development was rushed
There would be no difference if Okyuyasu didn’t have a stans
He should've just had Act 2 the whole time, fuck the development shit entirely. Act 2 was so much more interesting than either of its counterparts it's not even funny, and it gets used like 3 times over the course of only 2 fights
True, but I don’t think is that bad, because after the first Kira fight they focussed more on Josuke. I don’t like but he is the protagonist of that part so he’s the one that deserves more screentime
>There are people out there who think Koichi's development was fantastic
haha that’s me
It's not bad if the protag is good. Jolyne is a good protagonist. I don't mind Josuke, people rag on him too much.
It's bad when your protagonist takes away from the side characters.
>Stands in alphabetical order
A gentle and wise man if I ever saw one.
Jotaro is the power fantasy character, the guy you insert your teenage self onto, or the guy you want to be. When everyone else flounders and fails, he picks up the slack and cleans house.
Josuke is that friend you know, who gets himself into trouble and does darey stuff, but manages to pull it off sometimes. He doesn't always pull it off, but it's ok. His friends have his back and he has theirs.
I would say the opposite, DiU's beginning was meh but by the end it was top tier. Easily one of the best parts
>The art style change was a mistake too
ok
Echoes act 2 is the best version of koichis stand. It involves actually interesting concepts instead of gravity smashing ever single person it sees
I wish Araki didn't drop the "every protagonist stand is named after a hard substance and references the name of the part" thing
Part3 design in Josuke looked like a generic japanese delicuent, the change was for the best. But I still miss the part 3 style. Imagine Part 5 with that style oh god
DiU started really good, then it become less good when the Keicho death happened but still very enjoyable. Then Kira appears and we have this kino battle about koichi vs sheer heart attack. Then it have a big letdown when Kira father appears and became everyone into villain of the week, which Highway Star, Janken kid and Enigma being the only good fights. Then Bitez Za dusto arc happen, which is probably one of the best arc in all Jojo story. A kid have to use his brain to defeat a man with superpower, and he have to fail a lot of times until he succeded, that was genius, then Josuke vs Kira happens which is one of the best fights in all the series and one of the few times that I rooted for Josuke. And then when all the crew are together and Koichi use Act 3 while Jotaro is running to activate Za warudo. And the poetic death of Kira by the hands of Reimu is *kiss his own fingers* MUAH. So yeah it have letdowns, a lot, but in the end DiU the whole is more than the sums of its parts
>Jotaro is the guy you want to be.
I don’t want to be autistic, thanks
Also the most boring part. The only good episodes were the ones where Kira appears.
The filler in DiU is a pleb filter
Oh please. Mothers are rarely ever relevant in JoJo. At least Araki recognizes that and pushes them to the sideline.
>sidelining everyone good
Brainlet
Why does josuke look like a 30 year old man in this panel?
Good post
the best bit in Part 4 was definitely the Bites the Dust arc. the beginning was promising but later it disappointed
>josuke's grandfather
hah
they looked like the dinosaurs from the land before time. stupid fucking noses.
Once a life is taken...
The animation was fucking garbage, fuck off.
Shouldn't Jotaro's name be spelled "Cujoh Jotaro" if Jolyne's is "Cujoh Jolyne"? I thought she just changed and americanized her name first but I just checked and her name is actually in kanji and it's the same exact one as in Jotaro's name
Probably because of translation consistency with the previous part, but if Jotaro writes his name in English it would probably be Cujoh Jotaro
Do you think Diavolo is still dying?
>Cujo
it is a en.wikipedia.org
Nah he's not real
Part 4 is easily the worst adaptation to date. They butchered so much of the good shit. Damn son.
No way it's worse than the part 1 adaptation.
Because the only reason part 4 existed was to serve as a dumping ground for all of Araki's unused ideas from part 3.
Think about it, introducing stands in part 3 essentially gave him a free pass to allow for any and all abilities without having to worry about explanation or backstory. It allows him to circumvent the narrative and just explore whatever sounds cool. However he probably scoped out the general framework for part 3 ahead of time and couldn't fit in near as many ideas as he could think up.
Part 4 was intentionally designed to have pretty minimal direction. Its a series of loosely woven side stories Araki utilized to put rejected Stands to paper.
Not really. This is why part 3 to 5 feel like the protagonist is bland
Nipple Zippers
Parts 3 and 4 had great protagonists.
Part 1 as a whole is worse but as adaptation of the material it is better
t. never read Part 1
Jotaro only got good in part 4
Nope. He was good in Part 3. You would know if you actually read it instead of just parroting shit.
I read it. He was shit and you just have terrible taste
Sure user
Jotaro sucks ass and Josuke went to shit after the first third.
>Jotarofags think part 3 Jotaro was even worth of being called a character
>y-you didn't actually read it!!
This is what passes for an argument now so you can justify being a coprophilic faggot?
>being this upset over getting called out
It's not hard to find the manga online these days. You have no excuse.
Great argument homo
Jotaro is ironically good: the edginess, the one liners, the asspulls. But as an actual character he isn’t that good, at least in part 3
>all the anime-onlys who thought giorno cheated this with bruno until the ciccolata fight

Wait what? Maybe I am a speedreader, but when did that happen?

>*kiss his own fingers*
I mean, he did
*grabs him by the throat*
back the fuck off!?!?
Araki, left entirely to his own devices, never gets passed the concept-stage of writing. I imagine his office probably had a whiteboard covered in notes like "Invisible baby", "Alien?", "Immortal Vampire Kappa" with more random shit scrawled in the increasingly narrow spaces between each day, until the final chapter arrives and Araki suddenly realizes he has no idea how to tie all the shit on his whiteboard back together, "Fuck it, part over, off to italy."
Why are you assuming that the invisible baby or alien were meant to be more than what they already were?
ora ora ora ora ora :D
>Joseph being a useless retard
fucking this! He's introduced so they could use hermit purple to discern where kira's hiding and they never use it, opting instead to adopt a goddamn baby.
>He's introduced so they could use hermit purple to discern where kira's hiding
I didn't know Kira was hiding inside of the electrical wires.
Actually they called him to locate the Red Hot Chili Peppers' guy, Kira wasn't introduced until later and they didn't need him anymore because they defeated him just when Joseph was arriving.... which is almost even dumber. They realized Hermit Purple would be useful for that retard but never considered it when they were searching for Kira, who was way more dangerous
Were you actually expecting the final chapter of Part 4 to exposition dumps about every side character after Kira was defeated?
jojolion spoilers when?
The preview? It's out already.
giorno is the only jojo has never died
oh, that explains it. I saw the anime and OVA, I haven't read the actual manga yet.
no he isn't
To the end of the fight
We never see Joseph or Josuke die
uhh did you read 3 at all
and yea josuke died here
more like pleb filler
the main issue with part 4 was that it lacked a clear defined goal for a significant portion of it
reminds me of walking with dinosaurs
That’s Part 5 though
Joseph was killed by Dio even if they reanimated him later, and Josuke was killed by Bites the Dust over and over again until Hayato saved him
Imagine being Hayato in this situation
>foreshadow stand ability
>lmao is actually soundman, not sandman
*stand sand ability
you get my point
He was definitely a poorly handled character
Part 5 was pretty straight forward from beginning to end
Soundman is Sandman from another universe.
>B-BUT THAT'S ONLY A HEADCANON
Then what happened with the original sandman?
Why?
If I had to guess, Valentine tried to make a deal with him, Sandman said to fuck off, and then Valentine replaced him with a more cooperative counterpart.
Uhh maybe he got killed by Valentine?
Seems like an unnecessary contrivance
Source?
I read part 7, noticed the inconsistency, and used my brain along with supporting evidence (changed stand, changed name, goes from wanting to take back his homeland with a clear plan to working for Valentine) to come to that conclusion.
It’s just a theory
Soundman appears between a door and the ground, D4C keep its “doors” between dimensions open and people other than Valentine can use them
Also Diego can’t detect him with his dinosaur senses
>and used my brain
So you made it up, gotcha.
why? how?
how he can do that without killing the original sandman?
>without killing the original sandman
user...
alright big guy whats the reason behind soundman then
Araki changed his mind about the character
Fuck King Crimson
How does Made in Heaven works?
Guys, how the fuck is Johnny a saint?
He straight up murdered a bunch of women to hit Diego and didn't even bat an eye.
>you can't be a saint if you murdered a few women!
lmao
What was he supposed to do?
No man, they fucking BUTCHERED part 3 dude. Part 4 adaptation was passable, sometimes even pretty good.
What was wrong with Part 3?
This is exactly the kind of shit that makes Yea Forums so fucking retarded. If I did the same thing Johnny did in real life, I would be crucified. And yet Johnny gets a pass because he's fictional?
>If I did the same thing Johnny did in real life, I would be crucified.

>Guy A shoots at Guy B, Guy B is more evil than Guy A

Part 4 is great and Josuke's mom is hot
How old was she when the (over) 60yo Joseph banged her?
Giorno and Bruno wanted to stop the drug trade while completely ignoring everything else. Fuck bring aimless it didn’t make any damn sense at all
It may be a gigantic piece of trash to some of you, but reminder that nothing is worse than SC and 35 episodes of annoying episodic adventures and the many plot holes and ass pulls
You know this would’ve been a great attempt at foreshadowing the main villain’s abilities if Araki wasn’t a shitty writer
Cringe
It would have been, if Valentine's ability was to go to other universes and find people with the same face but different names and personalities. But that's not what D4C does.
Should have spent your trips calling him a retard
>Thinking the mothers are good.
Is this satire?
He never said they were good
Seems pretty accurate to me. There isn't much of a driving force to 4, other than a theme of suburban living. It makes the arc cozy as fuck, because it's very close to a bildungsroman, but it does mean that if you're looking for a driving momentum you're SOL. Even the 5th arc, for any of its faults, has a series of different plots that help push its tension forward from beat to beat.
But I don't think there's anything wrong with any of this. Having more varied stands lets some unique ideas come to life.
It's pretty similar to 90's and 2000's X-Men, when a bunch of writers started to have to come up with weirdo mutants that had not insanely as useful powers as the first few classes, and this helped create much more interesting stories with characters that had generally inferior powers to a Cyclops or a Wolverine or whoever.
(BTW Stands = Mutant X Genes in terms of creator laziness to not want to create unique origins)
I just want the next Jojo to screams something new, I'm sick of ORAORAORAORAORAORA
would be epic if they had a mexican who does an "adios" stand cry instead of "arrividerci"
would be epic if they had a milf who does an "ara ara ara" stand cry instead of "ora ora ora"
would be epic if you sucked my cock
To be fair, the entire plot is kicked off by the fact that Hermit Purple can't reliably find anything in Morioh.
The only reason they could even try with Red Hot Chili Peppers is because Hermit Purple was going to somehow go into the electrical wires rather than just try to spirit track him or whatever.
Not that they even tried but it would've most likely been useless.

Holly should have been a more prominent character. If Jotaro thought about her every now and then throughout Stardust Crusaders it would have elevated the part.
Goddamn you’re retarded
Nah, early Josuke is superior.
What killed the hype?
Part 4 felt like Araki tossing around ideas and concepts that never really get developed.
This describes every part of Jojo.
This. Nobody seems to remember that Jotaro's whole journey was about saving his mother, not muh ebin fight with DIO.
Then again Arhacki didn't seem to remember that either. I was so pissed that Part 3 didn't end with Jotaro and Holly's reunion.
He's not a hack, he just has alzheimers
see
4 is Arrakkis favorite part & Josuke is his favorite Jojo
I'm glad he made better versions of both
Because Araki didn’t even know what he wanted to write for this Part. This is why 5 > 4

>having no stand means you can't be a main character
back to the dilation station
She is talked about frequently. You're the ones forgetting.
Real reason is that part 4 is shounen so women can't be useful. Or any adult for that matter since they were all retarded in this part so Araki had to pull out his 150 IQ shounen kid™.
>off to a good start but became worse over time
That's every part. Araki is creative but has no talent writing. Forgets characters, spends too much time setting up plot points that go nowhere, and overexplains abilities only to never use them again or simply introduce new ones in their place.
Disturbing

>Why wasn't Josuke's mother a more prominent character?
The only part where she could be important would be if she interacted with Joseph and we learned more about their meeting and such, but it's clear Araki had no interest in developing that.

Part 4 had some potential in the early phases, but it turned out garbage like OP said
except Josuke really doesn't have any personality besides his gimmick with his hair.
Early on he is supposed to be a beta that only turns alpha when people fuck with his hair, but later Araki turns him into some goofy regular nice guy, but he isn't beta anymore, as he argues with Rohan and even tries to scam him, he just became bland and generic
Giorno still worst tho
He was trying to get Diego, and he didn't even realize what he hit since he was underground or some shit at that time
And he gave up on all body parts he had at a certain time to save Gyro
>kira's development with shinobu
Non existant. Stop inserting your fanfiction into the story
>except Josuke really doesn't have any personality besides his gimmick with his hair.
He has plenty of personality, you just need something you don't have to see it - a soul.
>Killer Queen has already touched the door knob

Are you sure? I'd say Golden Wind had BY FAR the best OST tracks. Worst OPs, but definitely best OST.
He felt relived because his "wife" getting hurt is going to cause suspicion, you dope. He's got people sniffing after him.
There ain't no GW song that gets close to ZA HANDO.
Nigger you can't be serious.
I'll give you that one, but I'll be honest, it's the only tune that I actually took note of in GW besides Fighting Gold. Nothing else clicked with me.
thats the autistic excuse he gave himself to avoid the truth he was slowly developing real feelings for her.
Do you have Asperger by any chance?
Golden Wind had a very catchy and sweet main theme, but best OST is stretching, Part 3 and 4 had better overall themes.

don't care
DON'T CARE
development is gradual, so whats the problem of him trying to murder her before? he was in the urge to kill, it would be unrealistic if outta nowhere he just declared "I LOVE SHINOBU" without slowly growing and accepting his feelings for her.
I seriously think you have severe autism, you don't see to understand how feelings or relationships work.
>gradual
except the whole scenario of kira having feelings for shinobu literally came out of nowhere in the first place, so it's just shitty hamfisted writing on araki's part
JIHI NADO IRANAI SA
Why does Yea Forums hate part 4 now? It used to be one of the more well liked parts, what the fuck happened?
contrarian 7niggers are upset their part is inferior to the utter chadliness of 4.
>you don't see to understand how feelings or relationships work.
You realize you're talking about a guy who kills women because it makes him hard and then faps with their disembodied hand right
people who use "chad" to talk about things they like should be hanged
That's why Act 3 is more fitting for Koichi. He's a boring, uninteresting guy, but he's dependable and you can count on him to do what needs to be done. Act 2 is flashy and has lots of uses, but Act 3 has one ability that does what it does in a straightforward, but dependable manner. Koichi dropped the flashy stuff for something practical.
Civil War was such a great arc.
Valentine can actually kill people extremely easily with D4C since he can just chuck an alternate reality version of yourself at you and you both disintegrate. From there he'd be free to grab another one who may be more cooperative. Gets rid of someone who may stand in his way later while replacing them with someone who looks like the same guy on the outside.
>muh rat
>good
Yes, the fight itself was pretty good. One of the best fights in part 4 also involved a rat. Funny how that works.
He never had feelings for her
Actually the fight sucked but the character development was good.
The anime came out and everyone realized how flawed and shit it was.
LUCY YOU MUST FUCK THE PRESIDENT. YOU NEED TO OPEN YOUR LEGA AND LET THE PRESIDENT OF UNITED STATES TO COLONIZES YOUR VAGINA.

>The art style change was a mistake too.
What the actual fuck is wrong with you
Which is weird because the anime made an attempt to actually fix some of the bigger flaws in p4 and string its narrative together a little better.
So basically everyone just decided to roll with animeonly brainlets' shit opinions
Remember when Josuke traveled through time to save himself as a kid? Good times.
>Josuke looks like the guy he's intentionally modelling himself after
>IT MUST BE HIM FROM THE FUTURE
Pearl White Overdrive!
Araki legitimately forgot
He forgot fan headcanon?
Traitor's Requiem was fun fanservice but I agree, Fighting Gold was the better OP both in song and visuals.

Josuke is for the soulless.
Shouldn't be forgetting then.

It was brimming with charm

>He doesn't rate Underworld
Absolute pleb-tier taste, man.
Inkeeping with most Part 6 haters honestly. Part 6 seems to be an effective pleb filter.
The real problem with Part 4 is that the main characters barely feel like a group and that every stand battle is only fought with two or three people max because the main characters' Stands are so absurdly powerful. Of course this happened in part 3 and part 5 as well but at least in those parts the main characters all fought together sometimes.
Part 5 never had a battle where everyone fought together. Neither did 3 IF you count Iggy.
nigga i like Part 6, I just don’t like Underworld

That hurt me the most, I wish there was more koichi/josuke/okyuyasu moments. Like Josuke and Okyu thinking in doing bad shit and koichi thinking “That’s not good, nor think in anything bas” with scared voice
Rohan also doesn't have much to do with Josuke or Okuyasu. Well, there's his rivalry with Josuke, but they're still not a group.
he also uses them to wipe his ass
Fighting gold is my favorite but the final version of requiem was kino, w/ the doppio animation outlines, giorno dio reference, the diavolo time loop, and requiems appearance, man it really came together well.
Requiems appearance makes no sense when the song ends with Giorno stabbing himself with the arrow to get Requiem
Fighting Gold was the best, Traitor Requiem would have surprased it if they didn’t reaused so many scene from the anime and didn’t have such a long ass intro (like chase)
what?
>Diavolo from the opening time-skip the opening
>Giorno from the anime use GER to anulate that
>Giorno from the opening can now use the arrow to turn his GE in requiem
but the song doesn't end when he stabs himself, it keeps going
Characters get killed too early in Jojo all the time. Just look at Josuke's grandfather or fucking Sandman.

I don't regularly go on Yea Forums, is there usually this much bad taste?

I feel like you guys are way too nitpicky when it comes to JoJo man..like, not everything is supposed to make sense, be balanced and perfectly written. Shit, it's the mistakes that improve it in my opinion. This shit ain't supposed to be Evangelion or whatever
Why do NPCs dislike Koichi?
Like all they can say is "Koichi is a shit character" - followed by no justification.
There's not much you can do about Part 4 without just starting over. It's crap from the start.
Most people dislike how rushed and heavy handed his "character development" is. He also has the worst arcs.
>Why wasn't Josuke's mother a more prominent character?
Why should she be?
Imagine if Kira used Josuke's mom to activate BTD instead of Hayato.
He is introduced as her new coworker in her job.
What changes?
Tomoko is a teacher though
shes 37 and josuke is 16, so 20.
Why the fuck was Jotaro wasted like that in part 6? He practically did nothing but save Jolyne through the whole part
>guy who josuke modeled himself after looks like josuke
>”hurr hurr it josuke”
It must be hard having a sub 70 iq
>part 4 is about the lives of the characters
>josuke is the main character
>josuke's mom is a big part of his life
Koichi took away a lot of time that could be used to develop josuke
They were mostly trash though. Their fights were fillers and were really annoying to read through except for the earth memory guy. Bohemian Rhapsody was fucking terrible
This is what SOLtists believe Part 4 is about. Part 4 is about the character's lives being interrupted by stand nonsense.
I will never take your opinion seriously after you say that you unironically like Koichi.
that was just davido-kun being lazy and fucking shit up, which is basically the part 4 adaptation in a nutshell
He's an annoying little runt that constantly fucks shit up, and he has the most hamfisted, generic, and boring character development arc imaginable. You can tell his entire character was just Araki experimenting with something he hadn't done before in a very basic way.
>wow dude, his stand is an egg...and it hatches and grows as he does.........woah............
this
worst part overall, only reddit disagrees
Josuke had a lot of time and Araki never used thoses to develop his character, same with Okyuyazu. Is Araki fault
This desu, DiU was the longest OG universe part but Araki decided the part needed more fodder characters instead of meaningful chapters
>it's fodder because I don't like it
Cope
Dilate
THERE'S NO WAY I CAN DO THIS
Hot damn! She ain't no girl she's a momma!
p4 anime>>manga
I didn't forget about that, I'm saying there needed to be more than just that.
>literal rat figures how The World works without net tricks nor shit
Is the rat the smartest Jojo character?
Part 4 is absolute shit. The only thing stopping p4 from being the absolute worst part is Kira, Jotaro, and Rohan. Koichi unfairly cheats death and has act 2 absolutely wasted despite being an incredibly creative stand. Act 3 only exists for the pure use of limiting stand movement. Josuke is arguably the most boring protagonist in Jojo, and okuyasu asspulls himself back to death by simply deciding not to die. Araki had to have Kira do something completely uncharacteristic of himself in order to be found out, and for some reason the main cast becomes retarded during the final fight and instead of being suspicious of josuke being late, they just sit around waiting in one spot instead of looking for Josuke AND okuyasu who are mysteriously missing. On top of all this, the setting is boring with it constantly having to be supernatural and makes its most notable aspects obsolete. The cool minor characters and interesting stands are heavily underused, and when they are used, it manages to be just a little entertaining. It takes way too long to get to Kira, with everything before having been boring and incredibly uninteresting, maybe except for rohan who actually spices things up enough for him to get his own spinoffs. THIS is why part 4 is shit, and im just talking about the manga.
It was his way to get back at his daughter and the nips

>rat figures out that a guy teleporting right in front of him can teleport
It's not as big of a deal as you think
>Why wasn't Josuke's mother a more prominent character?
Jotaro should fuck her
Would a rat defeating dio not be a big deal? It's not like he had anyone to de-lequify him.
Tomoko is for Joseph only
Johnny figured out The World in 2 panels
I'm dumb. I know that Part 7 and 8 aren't in the same universe as the others, but can someone explain to me if Parts 1 through 5 are still Canon in the Ireneverse?
The other universe is just the result of the original one dying and being reborn. It's like if you build another Joestar mansion where the original one was. Did the original mansion exist at some point? Yes. Does it matter now? Not at all.
No, Pucci dying before completing the loop cause the fate of mankind to be altered
The parts’ crew are still drawn to each other because gravity, but in different circumstances
Would’ve been great if there was more of her lusting after him. Also would’ve been good to see her actually interacting with Joseph.
The rat wouldn't be able to predict where DIO would move to after 5 seconds of stopped time. It only worked on Jotaro because he was moving only a few feet to the side.
