Being swallowed whole is kind of the inverse of Steely Dan and Lovers. Rather than shrinking to enter a normal sized Joseph, the stand, powered up by the user being nearby, had the cast enter a massive mouth as normal sized people. Kakyoin even remarked on this, it’s been a long journey, inside brains and dreams, but they made it.
The boys tried to seduce the stand user, Jotaro going along with it begrudgingly and actually pretending he had explicit interest in women, a good attempt no doubt. But when that didn’t work, it was simple. He shattered the teeth of the stand from the inside out with a barrage of ora’s. The page of the teeth busting outwards was pretty radical, Star Platinum seemed to have a good time while it was doing it too. Perhaps we should assume Jotaro would like to smile as big as Star Platinum does if he wasn't holding back his emotions.
Realizing female stands are attached to female users had me curious if, following the pattern of users hiding and letting their stands do the work, Midler would be super ugly. However, it hit me that doing that would actually be boring because we’d expect it so the subversive take of making her pretty could be the way to go. It appears we got a middle ground, Midler was an attractive woman until she had all of her teeth busted by Jotaro. At least it appears that way, good stuff Araki.
Time to kick Dio’s ass! Now that we’re entering his territory and he does not want to take them lightly, I wonder if the big guns will come out now. Stand users that are not one off assholes to beat and forget… We have a long way to go, so it may not be that way, but I definitely feel the time to change the formula and up the ante is now.
