The police are investigating, but Kira being a Stand user makes it difficult. Josuke's granddad and a news report talk about it in Episode 2.

Oh. How little I remember certain parts of the earlier episodes. How does the stand thing make it difficult? Does KQ render it hard for people to realize how he's severing hands?

 

[cntr]

You'll see what's up with KQ next week, but stands let you get away with a lot of shit. Like look at Surface, nobody's going to guess that a guy used his psychic powers on a wooden doll to stab another guy's eyes out, unless you also had stand powers.

Are you really asking for KQ spoilers? Because if you are you will get them. I will say that you are better off finding out how KQ works to the fullest within the context of the story.

 

[RubberLuffy]

Killer Queen's only abilities are putting its butt in Kira's face and stepping on his keyboard when he's working.

It is the Most Powerful Stand.

 

[Subpar Scrub]

Killer Queen was far from the only bad thing in this episode. Shigechi kept changing size and Josuke was all over the fucking place.

People watch JoJo for the animation quality?

Though I'll admit the reveal at the end was a bit... off.

 

[NEO0MJ]

Just be patient, JadedWriter, you'll get your answers soon enough.

After next weeks episode and seeing Killer Queen in action its gonna be obvious how it makes Kiras life easier to hide from the police.

Just listen to the actual Killer Queen song for your answer. Pay attention to the lyrics.

Jesus, can't you people wait a week? the coyness is really annoying too

 

[Boss Doggie]

I still don't know how Shigeki's hair works.

 

[Salty Rice]

I still don't know how Shigeki's hair works.

"It just works."

 

[Drkirby]

I still don't know how Shigeki's hair works.

I think they may really just be spikes in his head.

Goku punched Dodoria so hard that his soul was knocked into another dimension, and fused with a child in a town called Morioh.

Do you have any idea how much life and work bullshit I have to endure to get to a fucking Friday? I want mah next Jojo fix now.

Goku punched Dodoria so hard that his soul was knocked into another dimension, and fused with a child in a town called Morioh.

But it was Vegeta that killed Dodoria.

 

[cntr]

goku, vegeta, it doesn't matter

 

[Tizoc]

Goku punched Dodoria so hard that his soul was knocked into another dimension, and fused with a child in a town called Morioh.

Goku never fought dodoria

 

[cntr]

well you see, Vegeta never existed as a person, Vegeta was Goku's stand

 

[JadedWriter]

well you see, Vegeta never existed as a person, Vegeta was Goku's stand

Then why is his stand a better dad than he is?

 

[cntr]

why not.

 

[JadedWriter]

why not.

Maybe Star Platinum could be a better dad than Jotaro.

 

[Pein]

I've been rewatching part 2 and I still think its my favorite jojo anime, its just so goofy and action packed, I love it.

Caesar is the G.O.A.T sidekick.

 

[Siegcram]

Caesar is the G.O.A.T sidekick.

I don't think that jobber even makes the top 5 of JoJo sidekicks.

 

[Pein]

I've only watched the show, so I can only base this up to the current episode.

Brokuyasu, Koichi, and Polnareff are better jobros

 

[JadedWriter]

Brokuyasu, Koichi, and Polnareff are better jobros

Half of DiU has been about Koichi and his random crazy life. Okuyasu reminds me of Kuwabara so he instantly has cool points based on that alone.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Never forget the champion

The story literally wouldn't be able to go on without him.

 

[Siegcram]

I've only watched the show, so I can only base this up to the current episode.

My point stands.

 

[dani_dc]

Brokuyasu, Koichi, and Polnareff are better jobros

The only good thing Polnareff is good at is getting his friends killed. He's hardly Jotaro bro either (not that Jotaro ever had any personal friendly relationships).

 

[Goodstyle]

Part 4 shows us that a Stand born from the desire to hide your identity as a killer is the most terrifying thing.

 

[NEO0MJ]

The only good thing Polnareff is good at is getting his friends killed. He's hardly Jotaro bro either (not that Jotaro ever had any personal friendly relationships).

Well, there was Kakyoin. You don't sunbath in your school uniform with just anyone.

 

[Kurtofan]

Polnareff's the broest

 

[Ridley327]

The only good thing Polnareff is good at is getting his friends killed. He's hardly Jotaro bro either (not that Jotaro ever had any personal friendly relationships).

Hey now, Avdol chose to take that hit for the team. And it wasn't Polnareff's fault that Vanilla Ice REALLY hates dogs.

 

[chrisPjelly]

Well, there was Kakyoin. You don't sunbath in your school uniform with just anyone.

Ah Kakyoin. A Jobro whose only defining characteristics is being a cherry man and milf hunter. Oh, and he was supposed to be an artist like Rohan, but Araki forgot

 

[Ridley327]

Don't forget puppet master powers, too! Well, don't forget like Kakyoin forgot.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Guys, guys, the real answer is that all of the stardust crusaders were bros

 

[Tunahead]

The police are investigating, but Kira being a Stand user makes it difficult. Josuke's granddad and a news report talk about it in Episode 2.

Are the police investigating, though? I thought the whole point of Kira-related shenanigans in DiU up until now is that the police aren't investigating. They don't know there is a serial killer. The only reason the Duwang Gang even know there is a serial killer is because a ghost who had read the manga spoiled it for them. They don't even know he's a Stand user.

I rather thought that was the point of the scene in the gym equipment room. At the time, you think his remarks about the difficulty of getting rid of three people are about him not being strong enough maybe, but later against Shigechi he seems immensely confident that his Stand wouldn't lose to anyone. So then the alternate explanation becomes "Yoshikage Kira just wants to live quietly". No triple murder or simultaneous triple disappearance to get the police interested. Even if he killed them with his Stand, which presumably doesn't leave his DNA or fingerprints on the bodies, there would still be police, just hanging around, disturbing the tranquility of his life.

 

[cntr]

shit I forgot to include Speedwagon, I have brought shame on my family.

I like Kakyoin (and Caesar).

You know, good point. Josuke's grandpa only talks about the number of disappearances, not a serial killer.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Yeah I don't think the police have investigated anything related to Kira for 15 years, the Sugimoto case.

 

[Pein]

My point stands.

I dunno pollnareff is an ass and Avdol was so plain, I like Kakyoin and was bummed he died but he was side lined for so long. Joseph was a better companion to Jotaro but I dunno if I wanna compare Joseph to the rest of the sidekicks. Part 4, I think okayasu hasn't really done anything super note worthy and koichi is just ok. I like Rohan though and hope his plot gets some real shine.

Lol so I was right after all. Somebody get Noato into Morio-cho, she'll solve that shit in a heart beat.

 

[CornBurrito]

That's because Kira explicitly says it with the Japanese audio. Toonami viewers won't have that same luxury.

キラー means deadly in Japanese obviously.

 

[Neoxon]

Never forget the champion

The story literally wouldn't be able to go on without him.

And even after his death, the Speedwagon Foundation is still helping out the Joestars (as per Speedwagon's dying wish).

 

[Sibersk Esto]

And even after his death, the Speedwagon Foundation is still helping out the Joestars (as per Speedwagon's dying wish).

Speedwagon is always by the Joestar's side. When he died, Speedwagon became the collective stand of the Joestar family.

 

[Mortemis]

Speedowagon is the OG bestie. Even from the grave my boy's more helpful than some JoJo sidekicks.

Cause no stand is greater than inheriting a mass fucking fortune...on top of Speedwagon's massive fucking fortune.

 

[LordOfLore]

Can I post the "Why Araki likes Kira" pic now or should I wait until a future episode?

Until someone tells me yes or no, here's the cover for the volume with the Cinderella and Kira episodes that I can post now that KQ is revealed:

The 2 and a half chapters the new episode was based on came out in December 1993(which should be around the time the Buu Saga in DB had the tournament IIRC if you want to know what other manga were doing at the time).

 

[Mortemis]

Oh shit the quote isn't green. GAF broke for me now too.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I find it hilarious that Speedwagon got so lucky in finding that oil deposit.

 

[PurpleTwilight]

Oil = Dinosaurs = Life = Hamon = He asked the Hamon users to find the oil. /Headcanon

You can always spoil tag the picture.
