And then Polnareff was turtle.

EDIT: What was the reason behind Polnareff's Stand getting the power to switch souls for? Like his stand is basically speed+strenght+fencing sword, how does soul swapping fit in? :V

Do you guys think we might hear Mozart's Requiem in the next few episodes???

Mozart is public domain and HxH actually used the requiem as OST for one of its episodes

I thought that Mista had Diavolo's eye triangles but he doesn't that's just his normal eyes.

Anyway i get this feeling that Araki intentionally made this opening part of SCR a little more light hearted because he knew what was coming next and wanted to blindsight pepole.
Oh lol i like how mista has final form kira eyes, idk why, it's just funny.

And i agreee he did probably a lighter tone because they were doing a fakeout... that part of the battle being goofy makes the death hurt so damn much later .-., so sudden, so fast .-.

I wish I could tell the people expressing disappointment in Trish being under-utilized that Queen Jolyne will answer their prayers one day.

Or Trish herself saving Mista in like 40 minutes from now

She wasn't that bad, she managed to do something in the final fight at least, that's way above the average jojo gals aside from stone ocean and jojolion(i hope)

watched the episode... can Trish's VA play Jolyne?Her Mista voice was on point god damn.

Requiem stands aren't an evolution of the stand, they're sort of a side-grade. Its supposed to be based on whatever the user wants the most at the time. I guess it's possible Polanreff wanted to live, so the soul swap was created so he could do so. The stand protecting the arrow makes more direct sense as Polnareff wanted to keep the arrow out of Diavolos hands.

I wonder if people will be more relieved or confused when they learn Requiem Stands don't matter in Stone Ocean.

Yeah, i was thinking about this today and it really fits, he wanted to do something but couldn't do it with his current body, and he keeps talking about him not being fit for fighting... In the end it wasn't only to keep the arrow away from Diavolo, he jjust wanted to get out of the wheelchair...

I need to grab a drink, this is depressing af

I never thought before about the scarab arrow being the one to cause requiem. I always thought it was just an Araki forgot thing when Black Sabbath nicked GE. Though I remember in the anime that Giorno made a point to say that he wasnt hurt by the arrow or he dodged it or something.

And yes, it's pretty hilarious that Requiem won't factor into Jojo again after GER.

It's the only way to justify the part not ending right there...
If Giorno mastered the arrow he'd breeze through the part and that would be Jotaro levels of boring. If he didn't the world would be over, or he wouldn't even activate the arrow because he wasn't ready for it but the battle would have zero stakes cause the arrow wouldn't hurt him and black sabbath was pretty weak without it *shrug*

but it's so damn poorly explained after kira lol

There's still 2 skips left in the opening to be unveiled btw o_ o

Yeah it's why Giorno ability is the no sell even though that's not related to his life abilities. He really needed to beat Diavolo so he gets an ability that no sells anything

Yeah! I'd say the golden wind is breezing now <3!
Those were my thoughts exactly !

Got super sick on Tuesday tho, but luckily my mom was in town with me to help get me a note

Still adapting to this 6 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. schedule per weekdays, sooner-or-later-to-be 6 a.m. to 5p.m. per weekdays + Saturday overtime x.x

Sorta figured out how to handle this tho through the 3-month trade school I took on right after Bucci Arrivederci'd Pesci away into that river

And oh boy, got my first paycheck today!~ Now to take it easy and watch/read JoJo ep reactions and have lots of rest

Bard Jojolion, Sheer heart attack but wholesome. That's all I have to say.

Seeing the new OP I'm left wondering how they would even go about doing it for part 7. Since the power that Valentine gets is Love Train and that wouldn't have an effect on the song, only the visuals I think.

Killer Queen is the best designed stand in the series!

Also that Killer Queen still looks basically the same as the other.

But it's got a WHOLESOME power if it wants to now :( therefore it was improved.

Part 7 might get two seasons id double the valentines and do something for love train, remember that he starts the part pretty fat lol

I wanna see which bits they're gonna add to requiem, there were 3 skips in the original opening, but only one of them got revealed, i wonder if by the end we'll have a full opening inside the opening D:

Also Daisuke Hasegawa also did the opera voice at the diavolo bit, respect!

Yeah but I meant the visual design of it not the powers lol.

I would imagine that if there is a part 7 adaptation it would be almost 50 episodes if they decide to adapt 2 chapters per episode.

Yeah I remember, I guess they'll just start putting valentines show up everywhere but love train is so weird that I don't know how it would work in a music sense.

Then why did his stand swap the souls of the people and animals around him then 2 years ago when he discovered the ability of the arrow?

Do you think Narancia's end will be sadder then Abbachio's?
He's the character that represents the group's innocence and childhood, having him being killed off unceremoniously is harsh. Iirc his death managed to even make childhood traumatized jojo(tm) cry, for the first time in twelve years. Almost all of the gang's light hearted moments were initiated by him(i count Mista's goofs as Mista shenanigans cause he's made fun off but he doesn't literally makes the group dance together or beat up a total stranger or chase frogs...)

I wonder if they'll remix canzione preferite for that scene or just go for that beautiful somg that played during Abbachio's... i just know i'll be crushed by the time he passes, i couldn't even focus yesterday because I was afraid I'd
go back home and see it... having it happening after a holiday only make things worse :( wont enjoy the day before that episode at all.

I cried a lot during Abbachio's death but Narancia's shook me so hard te tears only came out some hours later because i couldnt believe it D:
