No, he destroyed his own life. Kira and his mom were a great couple.

I am convinced if she learned Kira's identity, she would have been cool with it. Love is funny that way.

There have been real life serial killers (like BTK), who were married & even had kids, but didn't hurt their families.
Kira would have likely not been able to keep up his cover or suppress his urges forever, though. Shinobu was not safe, and it's insanely fucked up to actually be positive towards a Kira and Shinobu relationship. He has killed 48 women. That's fucked and so completely far beyond any redemption.

Before he killed Shigechi, the severed hand he was holding was one of the ladies who just walk past him. Kira made a exception to that couple because he was holding his urges in and the couple pissed him off enough for him to stalk and murder them.
Yeah, Kira's relatable, and his relationship with Shinobu is relatable...but then you remember who Kira actually is, and how wrong it actually is. It's...bizarre.
No the girl he killed before Shigechi was talking about how cheap the ring her boyfriend bought her was and it irked Kira.
Edit: nevermind, i'm thinking the one after. Either way it's just never shown when he gets the hand that Shigechi takes by accident, it's just the one he has on hand, so it's not relevant why he killed the victim. But the consistency of the victims shown is that they always did something to irk him (ring girl being shallow and vapid and inconsiderate to her boyfriend, the other girl insulting his nail clippers)

Was it ever explained who was
the guy that pushed the car 12 years ago? I honestly thought he was Josuke himself traveled back in time because Kira put the TERTIARY BOMB on him and he has to break out. But that was not the case. So he was just a random guy?
Hayato knew that even if he and his mom were safe living with Kira for now, it was only a matter of time before shit hit the fan, and I think that's the correct way to look at it. There was no long-term situation where Shinobu didn't end up as another severed hand for the collection.
It's never really explained. Most people assume it was probably a plot thread Araki intended to come back to at some point but plans changed.

Nope, never explained
Though, on reconsideration,
it's not impossible that it might be addressed some day

Volume/Chapter-wise how long are the rest of the parts compared to part 4?
Aside from part 7, more or less the same. Part 8's still currently ongoing though.
Edit: Probably not the specific answer you were looking for.
Part 1: 44 chapters
Part 2: 69 chapters
Part 3: 152 chapters
Part 4: 174 chapters
Part 5: 155 chapters
Part 6: 158 chapters
Part 7: 95 chapters
Part 8: 60+ chapters
Part 7 became monthly about 24 chapters in, so 7 and 8 are much longer than the other parts. But aside from them, DiU's the longest.

DiU is 174 chapters. Part 5 and 6 are 155 and 158 chapters respectively. Part 7 has 94 but had a format change from weekly chapters to longer monthly chapters during its time. It went from 2004 to 2011 so yeah.
5 and 6 sound shorter but ultimately its gonna depend on how David paces its episodes and whatever they decide to cut or add.
And it really shows.
Also, Joseph tried using it to find Josuke in the beginning of part 4, but found Angelo instead. It is mentioned in the first episode.

The sad truth is: Joseph has the worst stand in the series
4 is a cutie
Banned
Nah, the worst stand is introduced later on. There's a point in the series where 2 characters have a discussion about how trash it is
It's only fair since without stand powers Joseph would kick everyones asses with his hamon skills.

Yes, just a random guy.
It might be a dropped plot point, but there's the issue that the student shown in the flashback although wearing a similar uniform, doesn't have all the customized details that Josuke's uniform has.
Man, as someone who doesn't read the manga, in the final episode when Kira attempted to use Bites The Dust, I thought for sure his fervent desperation had caused his powers to grow & he'd turned back time 15 years & was going to eliminate Josuke as a child.
This plot thread is probably my one big disappointnent with the season, I thought it was foreshadowing to something bigger to happen at the end.
Is it really worse than Cheap trick?
I see what you did there

The weaker the stand user is, the weaker his stand is. Back in Stardust Crusaders, Hermit Purple's powers were already limited when trying to find Dio. If it wasn't for Star Platinum's accuracy, they wouldn't have localized Dio in Egyptia.
In DIU, Joseph is older but also a lot weaker. Yet Hermit Purple allowed to find Angelo, which was weaker than Kira. Keep in mind it's also likely Kira's father could've interfered here.
Nah, this isn't true. Hermit Purple just isnt a combat stand, the same way The Lover isn't, yet can show useful skills.

See...I knew I wasn't the only one that was perfectly fine with Kira being with Shinobu. "Like I gots to murder people, but I gotta a new wife that loves cats. I can't murder this woman." I mean as fucked as Kira is he was nice to the woman. Dude made her breakfast the first day he got there.
I'm rewatching it from the beginning right now and goddamn Jotaro's punch is still amazing. That wind up. Also, about Josuke's hair, I remember back when I was reading the manga thinking that he'd defeat Kira after Kira insulted the shit out of his hair or something. Kira's defeat is even better than anticipated but it would've still been cool watching Kira get bodied a bit after insulting Josuke's hair.

I loved when Rohan got his ass beat for insulting Josuke's hair. It was all according to Rohan's Keikaku until that point.

You mean Cheap Trick?
With Hamon, Hermit Purple is actually decent for combat (hell, Hamon-infused Hermit Purple is the only reason why Joseph lasted as long as he did against Dio). The problem is that Joseph's been slacking on his Hamon training.
