That seems like a weird thing to be upset about.

Todays Stand user is a psychopath with a wooden Ditto.
The Stand is actually Surface, but the subs renamed it to Show Off.

Well first off, someone does own the trademark for Surface. So that's a thing.
But we also live in a world where a computer company has the word "Apple" trademarked and uses it to bully grocery stores. So yeah, blame US law for that one.
But the biggest concern isn't whether someone CAN trademark something, but rather if they will sue about it. Even if Viz/Warner wins, any lawsuit from an asshole band would bankrupt the franchise.

There are enough people rushing to say the actual name that I don't think this is much of an issue
'Surface' like it says it the text bubble.
This is exactly the type of confusion I mean.

Don't rush to blame Crunchyroll for the name changes; I imagine the Japanese licensor required all the stand names to be changed in the English subs out of fear of potential legal trouble.

They say what it's actually called.
P sure you can just listen when they say the name to get it.

Even though I never read the manga I have to agree with. It's hard to consider them a serious threat this way.

RIP Standing Koichi, his pose shall become a ghost now.
Glad we got to see Yukako even if just for a second, can't wait for next week.
Also: you ok, reatard? i am wood.

I think Hazamada is the last of these. So they wont do it anymore!

DP made the worse fight in Part 4 quite fun to watch (damn those were some nice transitions this week), and now nothing but greatness from here on out.

Now we can sit and watch to see if they change the faces a couple times as the season goes along.
God I hope they do.

By far the weakest episode of the season. Still fairly enjoyable but nothing to write home about.
That bit with RHCP at the end cemented it: I'm pretty sure the Chille Pepper stuff will be amazing once animated. No spoilers, but the user is amazingly done in All Star Battle, and so far they given Chille Pepper the level of threat a stand of pure electricity needs.
On the subject of the art, I like Hazamada being tiny from the beginning. He was always a little shit and honestly I felt it was weirder when this big, grown ass jotaro looking guy was whining about his friends badmouthing idols he liked. This way the idea of a weak creep hiding behind his stand comes across much clearer. Kind of the same thing with last week too. Luckily this is the last time they'll have to make a decision like this with the art, everyone else is pretty consistent from now on, if I remember correctly.

Seconded.
It seems like 99% of all Stand users are legit sociopaths. I think there were two firsts in this episode, unless I forgot something in Part 3?
1. The first time a Stand user actually argues with their own Stand.
2. The first time a Stand user gets defeated by normal humans.
A lot of these creative Stands could be used in LOTS of interesting scenarios. But instead of reusing them, Araki would rather move on to a new one (for villains anyway) so we can only have what we get.
This shot was cool.

This GIF is godlike.
Same, the RHCP fight is my 2nd favorite.

This ep just solidified that my favorite stands are in this season. Crazy Diamond is so awesome.

First episode of DIU I was "meh" towards. I love how Star Platinum's power is common knowledge now.

Has anyone hyper analyzed those mangas in Hazamadas locker? One of them looked like a volume of Steel Ball Run but I couldn't tell what the others were

Without spoilering anything, we do get stand re-use a bit starting in part 4, and IMO it's the part that handles the creativity aspect of stands the best without them being just fucking broken. I appreciate that.
I'm just sitting here looking at my calendar, counting the days.

Geez, you guys scared me so much I had to check the opening first thing.
STAND PROUD KOICHI is even cooler now!

Episode was pretty good.
Art seemed to be a lower quality than usual, but still pretty decent for the most part. Hazamada always disappointed me since his stand had incredible potential for tense action, but the fight itself is merely "okay."
At least he got a righteous ass beating.

Too bad Freeway Sun, Homicidal Monarch, and Super Crotch Zipper are a long way down the road

Love Josuke's and Koichi's friendship. Koichi's stand is pretty useful.

So it isn't overtly explained, but does Koichi have an ability that allows him to track the general location of marked objects?

I don't think so, no.

How did they even know where to go then? How did Koichi know what sound to pick at the time?
What do you mean? They both overheard where the enemy told Josuke to go to. The enemy then proceeded to take the most direct route to that location. Being one step ahead, they had to create a way to delay the enemy's meet-up with Josuke and they'd naturally both know that there are train tracks on the way, so Koichi used that as a distraction.

I mean finding them outside the place where Jousuke threw the bottle.
Oh, that. I think that was just the typical fortunate coincidence.
