Watching this show with my mom and little brother is a really fun experience. My mom doesn't watch TV outside of soaps and stuff, so shit like Chili Pepper goading Okuyasu into cutting the electrical wires blows her mind.

Isn't Araki the type to draw you a stand and create powers for it?

I thought that was just a fucking ripple fighting stance. Needs to take notes from Dio. Dude was just randomly posing while taunting Erina and blocking punches.

Must be a stand.

who said ripple fighting stances aren't posing

Posing with a tactical reason isn't proper posing lol. I guess since my brain was never like "why the fuck is he posing" it just never registered for me.

But only the irrelevant heroes died...and Iggy.

He's the one character Araki has done the most spin-off manga of, like the Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan series and Rohan At The Louvre. He's a fan-favorite and an author-favorite
Also about Araki:
That's how Koichi is, he's a kindhearted person. He gave Tatami a second chance even after what he put him and his family through.

I think we need a published collection of Araki's thoughts and musings.

For a dude who is all about violence and body horror, his author notes and such are surprisingly adorable and generally super humble and funny.
"I must be the only one who cares, but I often nearly drown myself. Not in the sea or in a river, no, I narrowly escape death drinking a glass of water. I only need a mouthful of water to suffocate, and I find myself unable to breathe. Generally, if I stay calm, I manage to get my breath back little by little, but recently, I almost passed out. That was a close one. That day, I miraculously escaped death, to everyone's indifference."
"In my childhood, I heard the following kinds of rumors about being a cartoonist.
Cartoonists secretly keep a real handgun in their basements.
They can just ask anyone to get naked when they're drawing models of men or women.
There's a person who just gives out ideas and can give them from anywhere in the world.
Every fourth day of the week, they're night shift is spent golfing and playing on a yacht.
How much truth is there in all this? I can't tell you."
"Here is the top 5 of my favorite toys
1. Phosphorescent skeleton (When it shines at night, it feels like I'm in a fairy tale.)
2. Bouncing ball (This piece of rubber took me into a science-fiction universe.)
3. Resident Evil(Playstation) (It's so great!)
4. A Thunderbird II model (I love the design and I find that the container's conception was very clever! I really had the impression I could go anywhere with this.)
5. Lego or Mega Bloks (I spent whole days assembling and disassembling the piece to make new models. I think that Lego is the Western philosophy in its entirety.)"

Now I'm waiting for phosphorescent skeleton to be a stand name. His author notes are so funny and non threatening.
Koichi really is a Gohan expy.

Was Koichi talking to Jotaro on the boat the first time we've seen the heroes talk through their stand?
JadedWriter

Sits here waiting for the episode where Echoes throws the katakana for evolve at itself.
Nope, that was introduced way back with Deep Blue Moon.
But it's the first time we someone use a long range stand to convey messages; that's why Koichi used ACT 1.

That chick that the orangutan was thirsty for.
they never said it in the manga, but the anime credits list her as "Anne"

she was know as the runaway girl for the longest time but the anime did give her a name, Anne
Yep. A bit of an odd character, she just drops off. I wonder if Araki ever explained in an interview what was originally planned for her.

She was obviously gonna be the Speedwagon/Poco/Smokey of Part 3 but I don't think Araki knew what to do with her. It really seems like an editor pushing him to add a similar character, but she keeps disappearing (probably because he had no ideas for her) and the editor probably kept pushing. That's what I would guess.
with the kind of enemies that came later, she would've been a dead weight mostly. she would have been caught in most Enemy Stand schemes instead of the heroes since she can't see them and she's an easy target for bad guys (and some of them looked like pervs that would prey on her).
if they had plans to make her a Stand User later, she could have added something but the way to awaken Stands wasn't created until Part 4 so even that was hard to write in at that point.
