Kira was the kind of stand user Keicho was looking for all along.

Makes me wonder if Araki had the beginning and end mapped out and just filled in the middle with red herrings.
Or if he just got lucky along they way.
Araki definitely had some general ideas of what was going to happen, but not specifics.
For example, Reimi talks about the killer leaving trademark wounds on his victims, but that's impossible with Killer Queen's explosion powers. So Araki decided on a serial killer villain long before he decided what Killer Queen actually did.

It's not even done well enough to even be a black mess...it's just a mess, though it's more tolerable than what it was when it first started.
I was eagerly awaiting Farnese's rape horse adventures to get animated...I left disappointed.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
So okayasu's dad is just walking around town like nobody's business when it seemed like he was intentionally being kept secret and also seemed to not be completely able to function in society.

Holy goddamn shit
Shigechi you twerp, the sandwich wasn't worth this
- Poor kid.
As soon as they started playing that sad song I knew it was a wrap, but even still, yiiiiiikes. Really sad way to go out. I honestly was rooting for Kira even after he fucked Shigechi's face up, but the lead up to that killing blow was rough, man. I just felt bad. Especially after seeing that he is literally resting in pieces. (as an aside, that song reminds me of this aptly titled song from Tekken 6)
- If Killer Queen wasn't one of my favorite stands already, based on design and memes alone, then it definitely is now. Getting to see it in context has solidified its position at the top of my list. Likewise, Kira is already close to being my favorite villain in the series.
- More surprising than Josuke not punching the button was how quickly I rolled with it. "Oh, I guess that wouldn't do anything if there's nothing to tie it back to the suit anymore; it's just a button on its own now." Jojo logic...
It's kinda the same with DBZ really, plot holes and stuff the fans kinda just explain away on their own haha

Papa Nijimura is probably a bit more relaxed without Keicho around abusing him.
dame dame dame dame dame
yeah no shit, that explosion was way more disturbing than any of the flesh wounds censored so far.

If the stands say the main catch phrase during a punch rush why does star platinum say "ora" instead of "yare yare?" I get Za warudo saying "Muda" cause it's Dio's stand, it pretty much has to. What does ora and Dora even mean?

It's pretty much a hold over from Kenshiro's yatayatayata then?
Stand cries are different from catchphrases, Dio's catchphrase and stand cry happen to be the same thing. Araki got the idea from Kenshiro.
Ora and dora are stereotype delinquent-sounding shouts that became Jojo tradition.

Jojo was initially inspired from Fist of the North Star, so yeah.
It's more that okuyasu's older brother just hated seeing him and locked his dad away to keep him out of sight.
"Shiba'", actually.
(And "shibō" doesn't mean "die", but rather "deceased".)
Every part nerfs the previous main character, although it's lame, I can see why he doesn't like balancing out a time lord and a genius against new villains. Could you imagine if he just time stopped, Ora'd Kira and then it just ended there 😂.

Yeah, this really jarred with me. I'm still annoyed Killer Queen's power is mundane as explosions. I was expecting something more interesting. Still feel like RHCP was the most interesting antagonist stand.

You mean chilli pepper? Im never letting that go.
I hear great things about killer er deadly queen tho. He has a great design and an awesome pose. He also has secret techs but id be spoilering stuff and we cant have that.
I think Kira was killing people before he gained stand powers so that's where the wounds come from.

I mean, there might be cooler stuff later that haven't been revealed and so on, but explosions is just too... loud, for me. I was hoping for Kira to have a more subtle, intellectual stand and not just things go boom. So far, it doesn't seem to fit either his personality or even Killer Queen's design - a lithe mancat in pink doesn't seem like much of a detonation guru.

I thought that too, trish is like 10 years older than okuyasu.
Hold on let me get my new non spoiler memebage out.
In the mean time think of all those kills resulting from mine and c4 kills in CoD. Some of them are epic.
You really shouldn't expect Jojo to do power escalation, not even for the final boss. Killer Queen might not suit Kira's external behavior, but it suits his real personality.
Yeah, but the way Reimi phrased it made it sound like Kira still caused similar wounds on his victims, which clearly isn't the case.
NCR Redslayer

It's also possible that he is still killing his victims in the same way, but then using Queen to dispose of the body.
RHCP was electric punchghost, how is it more interesting

I wasn't expecting power escalation, that would be dull. I do want stands to fit thematically with their users. I mean, IIRC stands are extensions of someone's personality and mental disposition, and so far, Killer Queen is not what I'd expect Kira to manifest. From what we've seen of Kira, he's detached from the ordinary bustle of life, and only shows real emotion in the presence of his victims. He's calculating and cool, preferring not to use his Stand if he could simply walk on by without notice. He's shown a propensity to get close and personal, by stabbing Reimi. By contrast, his stand is showy and flashy with explosions. It's the sort of Stand that really someone who was a serial killer should be inclined to use 24/7 given it leaves no evidence. It's a Stand that works best from a distance and has none of the intimacy of a serial murder. They just... don't go, to me.
I mean, obviously personal preference, and additionally we have much to find out about Kira that could change my mind, but at the moment I feel like Araki is just winging it and doesn't really have any idea where he is going or what he wants to do.

Don't worry, I'm pretty content to wait. I've really quite enjoyed part 4; I like the small town ambience and the increased inventiveness of the stands. Don't want to feel like I'm too down about it, I'm just a natural critic and like discussing small failings in overall good works.
I think Kira probably prefers to still get 'intimate' when it comes to his murders, probably opting to do it himself then use KQ to hide the evidence.
Haven't read the manga so it's speculation, but so far they seem made for each other.

Isn't it already RoboKy's battlecry?
Just like star platinum's power is star finger, super strength, spirit surgery, and keen senses, right?
Give it a minute. We may not yet know the full extent of it's power.
No one is saying Killer Queen is lacking or isn't flashy, just the opposite.
Crab just felt it didn't have the intimacy of a serial murderer like Kira.
