JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3: Stardust Crusaders Chapter 132 Discussion

A depressing conclusion to a depressing, yet really good fight

Vanilla Ice was a legit formidable opponent to legit kill off two of the party. Or maybe they come back, I can't tell with this part. Nah, we saw an Avdol cloud give a brofist. He must be permadead after that.

Damn, this was too damn depressing.

The obvious parallel that could be made, especially with N’Doul’s arc, was that of Danny and Jonathan.  But Iggy was no Danny.  He was his own dog.  And his compadre was his rival from the moment they crossed eyes, Polnareff.  Polnareff at least held together some of the initial promise, to not look back.  Holding in all of his hurt when largely the reason he is here is for his friends and nothing more since his initial goal was finished, he limped onwards to face Dio.  It looks like I’ll get the scene I anticipated, the one of the rest of the gang having stumbled onto the graveyard of two of their best friends.  In a way, option #3 is very true.  Life is cruel.



Polnareff was tough though, until the end, aware of Vanilla Ice’s situation and being far smarter than me.  My dumbass asked: How will he lose, hamon????  Somehow I didn’t think about using the sun…  Regardless, D’arby may have almost defeated the heroes but Vanilla Ice was the one to really do the job well.  I almost want to congratulate him too.  He fought until the bitter end, fanatic or not.  Him and Polnareff were admirable in their battle.



“I don’t have the time or the luxury to cry and mourn.”  Abdul did ultimately get a death panel and my disappointment over retracting the bold and sudden death he initially faced is lessened because this one was even more powerful in its execution.  Iggy had a sacrificial death which was set up and beautiful.  To contrast, Abdul was zipped out of existence and that is shocking even for Araki.  Ultimately, the pup was able to go to heaven on the back of the man who caught him in the first place which was poetic.

Polnareff found out that Vanilla Ice wasn't a human after all and used it to his full advantage which wouldn't have happened had Iggy not saved him at the time.



He might've won the fight, but he got nothing good out of it. No relief nor happiness, just the lingering sadness that comes with knowing two of your closest comrades have died to save his life. Their souls ascending to heaven was a very powerful scene...

That fight was one of the best up until now, if not the best. Intensive, dramatic and emotional.



It's finally over. Vanilla Ice was defeates, though he killed Avdol, Iggy and severely injured Polnareff before perishing as a vampire that DIO turned him into.



@gfsdfgsdgsdfgs, I totally agree with you. The ending scene depicting "the final goodbye" was simply beautiful and indeed poetic.

Well, I think Abdul and Iggy are gone for good. This victory left an awful taste in my mouth.

Good fucking riddance Vanilla Ice.
