You'll be waiting for a looooong time

Actually KitN you probably do if you've seen the memes but do you know what Dio's Stand does?
Nope, one of the few things I didn't actually know about beforehand via memes.

Holy shit

So you'll actually get to experience the mystery of Dio's Stand with the cast

Because the anime even goes to extra lengths to not reveal it's power until the protagonists figure it out despite literal decades of memes spoiling it

Lucky you lol

That poker game though

During episode 36 something hit me during the scene where Hol Horse talks to Dio. Out of the blue I was struck by an epiphany. When Dio appeared behind him during the assassination attempt, Hol Horse put a lot of focus on not even seeing him move. That it was seemingly instantaneous. Now we've haven't had DBZ level speed during fights in JoJo, so I'm taking a wild guess that perhaps Dio just used his The World. Because speaking of DBZ, and here comes my epiphany, the Dio/Hol Horse scene was eerily reminding of a power from the currently on going Dragon Ball Super. It reminded me of the character Hits power Time-Skip, where Hit effectivley skips time inside a certain area around him. To outside observers Hit "disappears the moment he uses it and reappears somewhere else".

I'm calling it right now, Dio's stand can skip/stop/manipulate time around him. It would be a great OP Stand power, especially combined with Dios own vampiric strength and powers. If I'm right I'll wonder how they'll beat it. In DBS the character affected by it simply have to power up enough to negate the Time-Skipping effect and be able to see Hit move around. But JoJo doesn't exactly have DB power ups.

Don't spoil or tell me if I'm right or wrong though.

The extra icing on the shit cake comes into play when you realize we could've had young Joseph again but then we didn't

Anyway KitN you'll learn the true power of THE WORLD soon enough

My initial problem with March was that the source material is very quiet and subtle, while SHAFT isn't really known for subtle imagery. It took me a while to get used to.

The Iggy vs Falcon and the Vanilla Ice episodes were on point.

4 episodes left, and finally the first Dio encounter. I guess it's time for Polnareff to become fodder to showcase Dios Stand lol

The wacky, fun journey is over

All good times must come to an end, the fun times spent with Hol Horse and Oingo Boingo are a distant memory

Vanilla Ice is but the beginning of the end

Hope you're ready for Dio

Also the OST at this part of the anime is really on point

I wasn't ready. Even though I called The Worlds power and was right, I still wasn't ready.

I love the distorted sound effect it makes.

It's all over soon. Gotta get a drink for the last two.

And yes the soundtrack during the five-six last episodes has been great.
Aaand it's over. Great final battle with Dio. What an epic villian.

And what a fucking ride this was. I'm now convinced that people hating this arc truly have the most disgusting taste and need to stop watching anime.

So far I've downloaded blu-ray rips of JoJo so of course I've got to continue that tradition with Diamond Is Unbreakable. All Blu-Ray volumes except one is out, and the last one comes out late this month. I'm going to have to find some nice DiU blu-ray torrents now. Meanwhile that gives me a nice little JoJo break since I've been just binge watching Phantom Blood, Battle Tendency and Stardust Crusaders.

This is going to finally ruin all LN adaptations that shamelessly plug the mandatory JoJo reference.

DiU is pretty comfy, KitN, you'll probably like it after coming down off of SC's climax.

Sakura Quest is a lot like Shirobako

It reminds me that I don't have a job and am destined to live a life of loneliness and not randomly get pulled into the agricultural tourism industry as the new queen of france gee whiz that sounds like a pretty comfy gig if you ask me
