This is awesome, it’s going to make me like Iggy 10x more than I did before. I didn’t think of him as a character but as an unpredictable element in the plot. I never wondered what his ambitions were, or what his thoughts were. Yet here we saw he’s not just a brainless dog, he thinks like a freaking person. He is selfish, and looking out for himself. He wants a good girl and a good life. He tried to leave Petshop and get away without threatening it as it intimidated him unflinchingly. But when that kid came by looking for his dogs, speaking to Iggy as if he could respond, he had a change of heart. He came back to save the day like Jotaro would; kind of like he did on the boat with the girl. He had a stylish entrance and a badass page challenging his opponent.
I criticized dog death because it went from Dio killing a dog that was important to our main character with an established backstory because he was petty and humiliated, to dogs dying left and right. For Dio it was a huge, unforgettable characterizing moment. For everyone else, it hasn’t been close. Rubber Soul? Death 13? Not at all. They’re just fodder, dog death has become numb. Or so I thought, but this kid, so innocent he’d speak to Iggy, tore at my heart when he saw his dogs collars. He just wanted to go find his friends and saw Dio’s guard bird mutilating them. It’s not like they were even an issue in the first place. That made me care about dog death again and this poor kid, and it made me cheer when Iggy saved the day. Don't forget the Camels that the user of the Sun killed.
