I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Why didn't Rohan just write "Josuke will fly 70 MPH to where Highway Star's User is"?
He only air-drew it once I feel, though. Last couple of times he called it he did so without having to move his arms.
It probably can't make a person do something that would be impossible for them to do on their own.
I still don't get how Josuke can fly through a tunnel at 70km unless he developed that Jotaro Dio fight flying tech.
Rohan's already done the flying thing before though, remember how he saved Koichi after meeting Reimi?

I just caught up on this! Loving Diamond is Unbreakable, really enjoying serial killer dude as an antagonist. It feels like a very real and present problem and I'm loving the cast of characters they're building. The only one I couldn't stand was Shigechi (And massive lol at what happened to him)
Could just say it's Crazy Diamond kicking off the floor with a lot of strength
Hell, Persona 3/4 are pretty much DiU

Did you conpetely miss Heavens Door writing that on Josuke?
Did you miss who I was replying to? That person responded to "Why can't Rohan just write 'Josuke flies away at 70 km towards Highway Star's user'" with "It probably can't make a person do something that would be impossible for them to do on their own." Which is to say there's no indication Josuke can do that or Koichi can do that, either. I mean, why does Josuke need a motorcycle at all if he can use Crazy Diamond to fly at 70 km?
Look, I don't have a hang up about Jojo's inconsistencies. I've been reading Jojo for 10+ years so I've grown accustomed to Araki drawing what he wants to draw and then trying to explain how it worked later. The reason I'm arguing this is that it doesn't make sense, like a lot of stuff in Jojo, so people are better off accepting it's silly bullshit instead of explaining away Araki's writing.

The talk about Rohan's stand makes wonder why its just not a pen/pencil. Rohan probably needed the extra reach.
Plus they're bigger assholes in the Jojo universe.
I surprisingly like Shigechi and his episodes.

The stand's actual name is Highway Star, which is a reference to the Deep Purple song of the same name. The band you linked to is actually the reference used for Wham (or Wammu) of the Pillar Men.
That said, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the reference for the people doing the name changes for the West.

I hated Shigechi at first but at the end he was pretty honorable. Refused to sell out his friends and wanted to protect his mom and pops. Guy's not the smartest but he manages to leave Josuke and the squad with one final clue from the grave.
Agreed, Shigechi pulled through when it really came down to it. His last moments showed that there was a decent person under all that greed.
...I know.
I was talking about where the name change came from
yeah, Shigechi was the kind of asshole who'd eventually learn his lesson and shape up, not the kind of asshole that deserved to be brutally killed

Remembering Kakyoin's speech about how he felt alone most of his life because nobody else could see his Stand, this kid is almost certainly a Stand user. And born with it rather than getting it from an arrow. I'll be shocked if that isn't the case.
I wonder if his weird voyeuristic behavior is due to general weirdness, or some factor of his Stand's ability in the same way photographs are needed for Kira's father's Stand.

I gotta admit, death scenes in the anime make me tear up way more than in the manga. Shigechi was pretty powerful with that music, I can never get through Caesar without choking up, and Kakyoin had me shedding some manly tears. ;__;
I wish Kakyoin lived, he didn't deserve being turned into a donut by DIO.

Nobody told him to try to solo Dio. "Imma just going to Emerald Splash dis fool. I gots range, he's short range. FFFFFFUUUUUUUUU"
Kakyoin didn't do much for me.
Iggy and Avdol though. One was so sudden with no build up and the other had tremendous buildup with excruciating visuals... it's definitely a rough experiance for me. Kakyoin on the other held felt like a scripted jobbing.

In the OVA Iggy and Avdol had some fucked up ass deaths. I think Iggy got off nicer in anime, but I believe DP still fucked Avdol's shit up.

In the OVA Avdol was given Nukesaku's death

Dude couldn't even win in a video game. Koichi is a far better Kakyoin any way.
I think when I'm done with Victory Gundam I'll give SDC a rewatch, it needs it since I'm way more into Jojo than I was when I first watched SDC.
Although OVA Iggy was definitely gruesome anime Iggy had so much character going on in those scenes. Even though I knew what was going to happen several times over when I saw the direction they took with Polnareff and Iggy I still found myself rooting for the little guy and... well... you know the rest.

I paused this video at 35 seconds
the image is still spinning when paused
Edit-Ok that was weird. IT showed whats her face...the red head in a circle, and it was spinning, and it was weird. Reopening it didn't have that effect anymore.

I actually don't hate Victory Gundam. I always feel like the only person that actually likes it. I actually like it more than SEED. Sure it's flawed but Tomino at least tried to make it unique. This is actually my second time watching it so I'm no stranger to its oddities.
Anime viewers at least had enough time to win over the audience, OVA Iggy was just kind of there by comparison. If anime Iggy got OVA Iggy death then that would've hurt.

Rohan probably changes outfits more than any JoJo character, though.
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure - Diamond is Unbreakable Episode 28
The most recent episode was super fucking weird - but in a good way
The most recent episode was super fucking weird - but in a good way
- Man that die game fucking escalated. I'm guessing someone nearby saw the smoke and called the fire in? Rohan is too intense.
- Overall the "Alien" arc ended on a strong note. I still get the feeling this should have happened earlier in Part 4 before the confrontation with Kira?
- The kid spying on their parents is weird as fuck. I'm guessing he figures out that's not actually his dad sometime soon though and maybe alerts Josuke et al.?
- The "To Be Continued" in the middle of the episode really threw me off. I wish they didn't do that even if they were being "faithful". That wasn't the 1st time one arc move into the next in the middle of an episode - I feel that happened sometime in SDC.
- It's good Josuke came back but honestly at this point, if someone said some weird, maybe Stand related shit went down, you should believe that 100%. C'mon Josuke.
- I'll agree with someone else who said Highway Star's abilities seem like a random collection of abilities.
I was positive about a recent Jojo episode, is everybody happy now?

I just realized I somehow never watched Episode 25.
I must've been busy that morning and just forgot, or something?
EDIT: HAHA, I'd been wondering when they were going to explain the weird floating old man and why nobody seemed to be talking about Kira all that much after he just escaped.
("Why don't they search the guy's house if they know who he was?")
Good thing I realized I had an episode I'd missed or I would have kept being confused until the very end.

Why didn't Rohan just swap out dice tho...
Captain Rage Quit 69

He already did at the very beginning, because he thought his own dice wouldn't be tampered with. I don't think anyone could have been prepared for Josuke bringing a shapeshifting alien/stand user/stand using alien.
Jotaro would've.
It's funny how he wasn't angry that Josuke was cheating so much as he was angry that he couldn't find out how he was doing it.
The D'arby method of gambling is best method.
