JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3: Stardust Crusaders Chapter 2 Discussion

Joseph and Jotaro's meeting was hilarious

pretty exciting chapter with Avdol and Jotaro's evil spirits fighting

Magician's Red is here!

D I O RAAAAAAAAAAAAAA



beloved Joseph silly as ever



AVDOL RAAAAAAAAA  Magicians Red   EPIC  

Fuck yeah, my nigga Abdul!!

I still have their anime faces in my mind, this is gonna take some time getting used to...

While Lisa Lisa looked like a 20 year old in her 50s, Holly looked like she isn't a day over 30 in her mid-40s even without the power of Hamon preserving her appearance. Seeing her act like a playful kid towards her father was adorable ♡



Of course, Jotaro wasn't the only one who had these strange powers but Joseph knowing about it for years was surprising. Jotaro made his jail cell too much of a home so there's nothing binding someone to fire can't fix. Holly being able to see Jotaro's evil spirit and Magician Red's flames was a very nice hint too. Avdol's face though lmao

What a catchy quote. Shame I read this in a shitty quality site..

"I'll have to tickle you for that!"

This part is bringing together all three parts quite literally.

The major antagonist of Phantom Blood is supposedly back in that vignette which showed the sun rising, therefore not telling if Dio can live in the sun.

Indéed, it was first intended as the "finale"of the series so bounding everything together was an obvious thing to do.

About your DIO's remark, the first page took the time to tell that the sun was going down so it can easily be seen as a justification of DIO's survival past his liberation too.

(the desert boat, just like many instances in this part, is a nice horror picture)

This was a strong chapter, a great introduction to new and old characters and new powers.  I was definitely gripped. Firstly, I wanted to remark on the fact that this part is bringing together all three parts quite literally.  



The major antagonist of Phantom Blood is supposedly back in that vignette which showed the sun rising, therefore not telling if Dio can live in the sun, but rather showing us the mysterious way he made the crew disappear.  



We have Joseph here, the hero of Battle Tendency, and he’s as wonderful as always.  Brashly shoving people aside, showing the love for his family which has always been a defining part of him, calling his daughter a 45 year old woman and telling her to let go.  That tickling panel was phenomenal.  It also made sure to remind us of Joseph’s mechanical hand, something that connects these parts yet again and a gift from the late, great Stroheim, something I’ve been eager to see.  Joseph with a launchable hand and immense pinching power sounds beautiful, although I’m unsure if it will live up to the greatest of Stroheim's arsenal.  



Then of course, a standoff with the new Joestar generation, Jotaro and the old, Joseph.  With Jotaro being the epitome of standoffish, Joseph called forward Avdol, his Egyptian friend who shares an evil spirit.  A flaming bird which pinned Jotaro’s body down forcing his spirit to come out.  Quite genius.



As for some small things to note, we’ve had it run home that only some people can see these spirits and what they do.  If I had to guess, it’s the motif of hamon continuing.  That of Joseph retaining the hamon that Jonathan harnessed.  The hamon stays in the bloodline and it seems it may have taken a new evolutionary direction or something.  At the very least, I think those with hamon capabilities can witness the spirits in action.  That, and I loved Joseph picking up a cop and telling him to move out of the way, he’s always been on the ACAB team, having destroyed a pair in his introduction.
