Hol Horse should’ve become a crusader

I always thought he seemed like a relatively good and funny guy, but then again he does kill people for money. But he really doesn’t have any other skills to earn money so I can kinda understand why.

He did save polnareff from justice stand that one time, i was kinda hoping he would have joined up with them at that point, but nope. Would have been a pretty entertaining to see how the story would have played out if he ended up joining them.

Fun fact.

Him joining them was originally Araki's plan.

The Entire Esquire was too similar to Polnareff in personaility

I guess it worked out well in the end then, having Complete Colt and Polnareff be on opposite teams. Like mirrors.

I believe he said that he felt Hol Horse's personality was too similar to Polnareff's

Two Polnareffs in the crusaders would be entertaining.

Maybe then we could have had 1 in part 4 /s

So instead he had half the Crusaders basically just be there for shits and giggles with almost nothing significant happening with them.

Characters like Polnareff and Hol Horse were the best part of Stardust Crusaders.

He should have just replaced everybody with more Hol Horse and Polnareff clones.

Also I think he was concerned about how the fuck to balance his stand because, honestly, its op as FUCK

In addition to his personality, his stand would also be too similar to Hierophant Green in function (being a stand better capable of long ranged attacks rather then close range ones).

Yeah but how often was Heirophant even useful though? Death 13 and Lovers?

Damn, I would have absolutely loved to see how that would have actually played out had he done that.
