JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3: Stardust Crusaders Chapter 74 Discussion

Jotaro’s method was not to pamper the mutt but to threaten it and force it to be an ally.  If that doesn’t work, he uses it as a weapon itself!  Like Death 13, this is a mix of excitement, tension, and hilarity.  Jotaro kicking off the ground gave me that feeling I mentioned in the last thread, the feeling of fear in your fooling of such a fearsome foe breaking for one mere moment and being ravaged.  The moments like Star Platinum scoping out the blind enemy had a real sense of fluidity to them.  The sand being launched was creative and showed more of N’Doul’s competence and adaptability.  And the farting and panicking dog being tossed was just comedy gold.  Like seriously, to have the enemy thrive on sound and burrow into the ground, and to fight it with a gliding system is a perfect way to build some wonderful tension.  The ending even had me shout, seeing Jotaro get right behind his enemy as N’Doul went from predator to prey was a good touch.  That said, I’m curious what Jotaro’s play is here.  He could make it a speed test at whoever lands the first hit, but seeing the speed and power of the enemy stand, this may not be over yet.  There could be a final step to ensure safety.



I wanted to mention that Iggy is like the perfect depiction of an ugly-cute dog.  The kind of ugly creature that would actually eat your hair and fart every 2 seconds, looking as if it is devoid of any kind of intelligence.  In that way, it’s like any pug you’d see on the street.  It’s also interesting that he is completely self interested right now.  Enemies could potentially turn him against the heroes.

The Fool's gliding with a bit of Star Platinum's pushing made great distance towards N'doul and when things went awry, he threw Iggy straight at him as a distraction only to pop up right behind his target when the commotion had ended. Blind guy's screwed big time.

The strategizing from both sides was awesome this chapter. Cool desert fight.

The first fight of Egypt is a really good one, one of my favorites so far (not in the three, mind you but it's high up). Iggy's already a great addition to the main cast & his interactions here with Jotaro were heartwarming & funny. Hopefully Iggy breaks tradition in a big way & isn't massacred later on.

Surprise motherfucker!

                        As always this was a very creative battle. Really cool stuff. Can't wait until this gets animated.

Haha, he's lucky to be blind in this situation, he wouldn't want to turn back and see who's there!

My hate for Iggy is subsiding slightly.

That was a great and memorable fight which is good because so far, Stardust Crusaders hasn't had any.

Its cool that Jotaro got a new ability. Its about time that he gets stronger because he'll need it to fight Dio and his highest minions.

Speaking of which, since his stand was one of the 9 Egyptian gods, then I'll bet each of those 9 people that the Speedwagon person saw have one of the Egyptian god stands. Those are probably his best stands and they will make for more interesting fights as opposed to those previous fights which weren't too great.

RIP N'Doul. Your death was memorable to say the least although I doubt Dio will remember him long enough. One thing interesting about this chapter is the revelation of the Stand associated with one of the Egyptian Gods.
