yeah it is, although it looks like he would have lost if he didn't get saved by the hand.

so kira is a guy that cuts people hands off, and as punishment, gets defeated by the hand

it is very much a thing
also i forget that japan has there own meme with kiras coworker
Reminder that Kira's co-worker appeared in the ED before several important characters.
Mental strength was the theme of this part so we got a battle of wits instead of pure raw power, although i think bite the dust is an escalation in terms of final villian powers.
This is the most logical explanation.

Shock, probably.
The running theory is that once Kira touches the bubble Kira can control it... albeit not very well.
That's not the actual page though. Someone copy/pasted elements from different pages and panels.

Pretty much. The first Killer Queen/Crazy Diamond confrontation, for example, is very well plotted.

It's been so long since I read part 4 I forgot Kira also does the Dio walk.

Episode 38
SFX OP, bitches! Hell yeah!
That episode was fun. It's amazing how DiU has progressed from the very first episode. It's pretty amazing that we're now here at the finale almost a full year later. It's wonderful.
The battle itself was pretty great. Both Kira and Josuke were using their wits through the entire fight, and it's so cool that a battle taking place on a street corner and in a house was just as tense as any of the other final battles.
Favourite moments of the episode are either the panty guy or the phonecall Kira makes at the start. I love that he takes the time to call his boss and apologize for getting in a stand battle. Both were hilarious.
I actually kind of feel sorry for Kira at the end there, being completely cornered with no way out. The guy just wanted to live a quiet life. He even says so himself.

Not singling you out, but I keep seeing this thrown out and it isn't true.
Killer Queen ranks among the stronger close range stands. It only seems weak because Josuke is goddamn ridiculous. We're talking about the guy who put Jotaro on the defensive, can instantly react to a bullet and can throw punches at 300mph.
There are very, very, very, very few characters who can beat Josuke at his effective attack range.
I dunno about what he said, but I definitely enjoy Jojo more as an anime. But then, Part 4 was a highly addicting read....
But then, Part 5 happened.
I guess if you count Hamon, Joseph fucked up that policeman's hand with the soda bottle cap. And then there was that poor woman that got a pigeon shoved down her throat.
Like father, like son I guess.

Hell, we even have the in-story example of Killer Queen completely outclassing Echoes Act 3 with just his fists. The only three stands we know can outclass Killer Queen in close combat are Star Platinum, Crazy Diamond and, in a different way, The Hand.

When reading the manga I had never considered the possibilty that the person Kira blew up at the start was a man...

Thanks to everyone who pointed this out. Yes, the actual thing looks comprehensible.
You've made my wait for the anime a hard choice again!

I wish we got the ASB version of that panel with Killer Queen giving him the thumbs up.

Wait... how did Hayato ever call Josuke in the first place to lure him within earshot of Kira?
Or was his "I made a phone call!" thing a bluff?

Hayato called Josuke's house and then hung up on him when he answered. Hayato just needed to wake him up since Josuke was going to be late otherwise.

Right, but like how did he know the number to call?
The scene where Hayato is explaining clearly shows him with an open phone book and he says he found Josuke's number.
Pretty sure it shows him checking the phone book. Josuke introduced himself in the previous loop, so all Hayato had to do was look up the Higashikata residence and call him up.
Well charged Red Hot Chili Pepper can also win, I bet.
Another problem is that Kira doesn't have much experience fighting unlike Josuke who probably even before meeting Jotaro was involved in plenty of fights, even if they are with non-stand users.
Ok, so is charged RHCP just the best close combat stand? I mean, it fucking severed Okuyasu's arm clean off.
It's a shame he never came back. Would have loved to see a pseudo redemption like highway star, although considering Akira is a muderer (at least in screen murderer) I guess it'd be a little odd.

In ancient times, we had this document known as a phone book.

Hmmm.
So...what's the formula...for finding out the distance of something >_> it sounds like a neat party trick.
divide josuke's height with his finger's height
you get twenty
multiply twenty to length of kira's arm, you get distance from kira's face to josuke's body
they're two similarly proportioned triangles. not sure the exact wording because it's been a longass time since i took geometry
