Its better for it
That's a fan theory that doesn't have any ground to stand on. It always was some good samaritan that inspired Josuke.
Their uniforms are different for fuck's sake.

The Giorno gangster thing too is kinda ambigious because he was a small child and memories fade and you forget their faces but not the deeds you did I guess.

I like josuke and giorno being inspired by random acts of kindness more
Watch Da Birdie
I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
I always thought Araki might've intended the gangster to be Diavolo (but early on before he really planned out the character fully) and it was meant to be one of those "made your own worse enemy deal".

I hope the finale this week is like an hour/48 minute special. They've got a lot to cover. Joesephs ghost speech, the bridge fight, Rodo rolla da, the ambulance scene, Jotaros recreation of that Kansas song, and the farewell AND the ED and the part 4 tease.

Eh, what's left of the battle is not too long though, and I'm pretty sure they're skipping the opening.

the shin DIO part of the fight is disappointingly short, road roller da aside

Yeah isn't it just like ORAORAMUDAMUDA->ZA WARUDO->Jotaro gets sent flying to the bridge->ZA WARUDO RODO ROLA DA->Jotaro hax power up->blood in the eyes->JOTARO PUNCH->DIO explodes

After DIO's head explodes. The shin DIO fight's abruptness is forgiven when you realize you're marathoning the manga, or in this case condensing it to an episode. When you consider what it would've been like for DIO to drop a steamroller on Jotaro and to end the chapter there it makes more sense.
Sure you could add filler like the OVA did but honestly what's the point? The extra fight stuff in the OVA was basically fluff, reducing a game of wits to DIO and Jotaro literally throwing things at each other.

First actual real negative I've seen towards the OVA that stands true. Ayy.

I just finished reading part 6, I understood what happened, but
why did Dio wanted "happiness for mankind, and why didn't he mutate The World into Stairway to Heaven in part 3? Also why is Emporio able to use two stands, and shouldn't the Weather Report stand disc not exist since another Weather Report already exists when the universe starts over? Also what was Giorno's role in all this, considering he also could feel Pucci's presence, and his stand could definitely defeat Pucci?Also will all this universe shenanigans be expanded and better explained in later parts?
You're trying to make me faint.
For the last part of your questions: yes, for the other parts: It's araki lol.

Let me give this a shot
He didn't really, he wanted to reshape the world the way he wanted it and create a heaven for himself. In his mind, people would like that because he had no other choice
As for the second part, the real answer is that there's no way Araki planned out part 6's ending all the way back at part 3. But if you wanted to justify you could realize that DIO only found out about the World's time stop at the beginning of part 3. He then had to plan it all out and even then get his affairs in order, since he hadn't synced up with Jonathan's body and the Joestar's were coming. Once he dealt with them, he could move on to his plan.
I guess the stand disk overrides the only one stand per user rule. It is a unique circumstance. Weather Report's disk exists because it's still from the first universe. Granted I haven't read part 6 in a long time.
It was a wasted opportunity to not have Giorno there but them's the breaks. The most Araki has said is that Giorno "may" have been in Florida.

Maybe to prep a Blu-ray release?

Yeah the more I think about the less sense it makes. It seems Araki is the kind of mangaka that does what he likes, without thinking too much over it. Sometimes is cool, especially in hyped fights, sometimes is not. He even retconned
Whitesnake's ability basically in mid-chapter, which is to loop someone into an endless dream while being digested
In any case I respect him cause in a couple of chapters he just thrashed years of work and fan-favorite characters to start anew, something that you don't see very often, actually quite the opposite ( See: Toriyama).

that paper moon deception chapter in Jojolion with yasuho was...disturbing
I figure that Jojo is a series made with a ton of imagination but not a ton of foresight. Araki most likely has the beginning and ending roughly, but he's prone to changing his mind, like a writer who had an idea that sounded really cool in their head but didn't work the way they wanted in the story. It doesn't help that Jojo arcs, unlike other series, are practically separate manga by themselves. That makes going back kind of hard because you didn't plan for anything. Part 6 relying on part 3 is especially difficult, since Araki had changed so much from stardust crusaders.
I think as a whole Jojo still manages to tell a compelling story with memorable characters with some good character development and great fights, so even if he stumbles the ending sometimes I accept it.
As for the whitesnake thing I think the concept of discs was always the main ability, but the digestive mist was a weird secondary power that just wasn't used again.

Random question, is there any explanation for "I am a Rock" eye Saran Wrap or is that just a weird secondary ability?
Any toonami shows ending in September? lol
Sword Art Online 2.
............most of ToonamiGAF is only watching because we want to see if it's somehow even worse than the first season.

Just finished SBR. I liked it! But man what a body count.
Lots of great stuff in it but my favorite thing is probably how, at the start, they pretty much say Pocoloco is going to win. And then he totally wins. (technically)

Spoilers coming out for this month's JoJolion, and it sounds like we're finally getting Gappy's real name and possibly even a photo of him pre-merging.
