I feel like our boys know a little better than this by now! Rushing after a potentially dangerous opponent without much caution has gone bad in the past, and we’ve in fact seen a physical stand no one identified as one before with Strength! Either way this was still fun. In fact this enemy is quite charming in its underhanded methods. At first I even suspected its intention was to delay the gang to buy Dio more time and lose them time on saving Holly. If not for the mysterious vanishing and appearing again as if a Scooby Doo mystery, this could totally have been a smart minion without a stand, using trickery to get them in trouble and baiting them into danger.
I definitely loved seeing that Kakyoin is the only reasonable person part of the crew now that Abdul is gone. Joseph, Jotaro, and Polnareff with nearly no hesitation at all, beating the heck out of innocents. That and some of the adorable panels like Joseph happily accepting juice or the runaway standing awestruck beside Kakyoin and Polnareff, looking like a little sister to them.
