So now that I've almost finished Bento Oreo

I'm wondering:
Spoiler
DId the group ever have a chance of figuring out King Crimson's power, if Diavolo hadn't told them what it was? buca and trish both would've died in the crypt, then probably everyone else without knowing what even happened. Diavolo really pulled a kira with that one, "After decades of meticulously hiding my identity, I will now reveal my biggest secret in front of my greatest enemy, nothing could possibly go wrong!"

The same way they spontaneously figured out that Grateful Dead works slower when your body temperature is lower. Hyper-accurate guessing ability is a standard-issue Stand power.
No, they guessed that because not everyone in the turtle was aging the same way.

Giorno just happened to know that women have a slightly lower body temperature than men because they have less body fat, and Mista and Buccialati were drinking cold drinks so they also had lower temperatures, and connected those bits of useless trivia to the Stand they were fighting.

Which isn't much more believable than guessing King Crimson's power.

Quote
But there's no conceivable way to figure out "his stand erases time but also not really" while also fighting him. The best they could do is what Metallica did and figure out that Epitaph gives him premonition.

Giorno guessed KC's ability when he found himself at the top of a staircase without remembering himself climbing it. So I guess it's not every Stand user, just Giorno the genius.

So anyway Jotaro's catchphrase is "gimme a break". Star Platinum's Stand power is stopping time. It literally gives him a break.

Real cute Araki.

Gotta say I'm not really enjoying Stone Ocean so far.

Then again I binged JoJo from the start up until chapter 650, so I think I'm JoJo'd out for now.

1418
Ok so in addition to my question, what are everyone's thoughts on the game as a whole?
Story was complete shit.

Why would they market the Arkham Knight as if he's a new character and just make him Jason Todd? Why not just make him Red Hood like he's supposed to be? Why try to trick comic fans for a twist we all still saw a mile away?

Too many unanswered questions.

To be fair, an Anti-Batman is way cooler than some moody jackass with a red bowl on his head.

It's also pretty obvious that you don't have to be intentionally making a mockery of something to be making a mockery of something.

And yet you'd still be a moron for getting your panties in a knot over somebody who's trying to embrace your culture and not insult it.

Quote
There are cultural symbols that have meaning behind them--to appropriate something like that without grasping the meaning behind it would be a mockery

Or just ignorance.

and you'd be a shithead for even attempting to be a part of it.

Then you're the kind of moron I'm referring to.

I would think most people would be delighted to see others emulate their culture.
Then you're adorably naive.

Some people may be delighted, but most would (and should) view it as an outright mockery.

Or, y'know, somebody who is genuinely interested in that culture and wants to see what it's like. It's pretty obvious when somebody is trying to mock a culture and when they're merely curious about it.

And only a moron would get their panties in a knot over that.

I like how Murdered is there, like it's supposed to be enticing.

1423
Probably for the same contrived reason the Joker and half of Batman's other villains don't do so.
And what reason is that?

The Joker doesn't care who's under the mask (in fact he literally can't see Bruce Wayne -- only Batman), Ra's Al Ghul respects him too much to bother, Catwoman and Talia Al Ghul won't out him for obvious reasons, and the Court of Owls wouldn't gain anything from it.

It's Dark Souls, but instead of souls and the undead there's blood and 18th century Europeans.

I too struggle with listening comprehension. Reading and writing is easy, but when I hear it out loud it's always spoken about three times faster than I can understand.

They're taking about Japanese, not English.

You don't say.

if you let one person be eternally tortured to allow 5,000,000,000 people to live forever in constant bliss and ecstasy, utilitarianism would encourage that.

Shit moral system

Sounds like somebody's been reading TOWWAFO.

Not gonna lie, all the crazy Stands are the only thing JoJo really has going for it. Araki's pulling bullshit out his ass left and right, but it's awesome bullshit, so I can deal.
What kind of bullshit are you talking about?

Well, Araki never expected to get past Stardust Crusaders, so DiU and after were basically made up as he went. That's why Yoshikage Kira and Diavolo don't appear until halfway through their respective parts. The plot, threadbare as it is, is only really there to railroad the protagonists from one Stand battle to the next. Instead of the conflict driving the plot, the plot drives the conflict.

So instead of writing a complex story with deep character interaction and development, Araki just says to himself, "wouldn't it be cool if they fought dinosaurs/tiny soldiers/invisible zombies/a pedophile ape that controls a boat/a radio tower?"

Yes it would, but that's bullshit. Awesome bullshit, but still bullshit.

But I believe it.

I wish the series hadn't devolved into nothing but Stands though. Parts 1 and 2 read like a completely different story.
