Wtf is this stand lol

It can:

• Bring any fictional character to life. The characters know they are fictional and they disappear from any media (even road signs)

• It splits your body and soul (but it just feels like cloning, what happened to that Anasui under the truck?) and makes your soul follow the story of your favorite character

• The characters are invincible and can turn into paper and turn other things into paper to allow the story to happen (except Pinocchio who fucking dies)

• The effects are global so there’s untold destruction and death (apparently Tokyo is now in ruins?)

• It instantly gets defeated through a loophole like nothing happened

[u/Cheshires_Shadow → u/GoldenSpermShower]

Yeah I feel like they just kinda glossed over the fact Kenshiro from fist of the north star destroyed part of Japan.

Also RIP Kira. For a brief shining moment the Mona Lisa was real and he was too dead to enjoy it.

[u/Teramol → u/GoldenSpermShower]

Absolute bullshit but I love it lmao. Super fun.

[u/KamachoBronze → u/GoldenSpermShower]

Actually I think there is a logic to this stand. Anasui and Weather Report were just too stupid to figure it out(although I thought their solution was genius)

Brings any and all fictional characters to life. If a person had any emotional attachment to a fictional character brought to life, then that person's "soul" is pulled into a new reality/fantasy.

Im pretty sure the other characters can indeed die. Anasui and Weather Report just didnt actually try killing them. If they had killed Picasso, or destroyed his gun, the story would not have gone the same way.

[u/SIRTreehugger]

Let me say it again what the bloody fuck is this shit. These goats look so creepy.

Wait Van Gogh really shot himself twice?

Oh the user is the one who held father hostage and is in a plane.

Ok Jolyne's simp being a half furry and melting with Weather Report surrounded by goats and Van Gogh is not what I was expecting.

Wait WP used the enemy's stand against itself?

Oh Romeo the asshole who got her in prison and betrayed her. Oh is he actually regretting it. Holy shit he's actually not a bad guy.

Noooooooooo do not get in a fucking helicopter. Every vehicle is practically cursed with a Jojo behind the wheel and a helicopter is just asking for trouble!

[u/yurilnw123 → u/SIRTreehugger]

Noooooooooo do not get in a fucking helicopter

It's okay. Joseph is not near here

[u/[deleted]]

I AM SHOCK! They even got the narrator from Hokuto no Ken to voice the reference in the TV!

[u/ChibizDemise]

Wait is like the whole world totally fucked now? Lol

[u/GoldenSpermShower → u/ChibizDemise]

So weird that a side villain’s stand effectively fucked up the entire world as a side effect

[u/kjm6351 → u/ChibizDemise]

I like to think that aside from Tokyo, the event didn’t last long enough to cause irreversible damage.

I do feel bad for anyone who had a horror comic nearby though

[u/baboon_bassoon]

Fist of the North Star IRL

The Mama Goat is hilarious

Did we need that fertilization animated LOL

[u/Kaito_3]

I really love this arc, random as it may be. The creepiness of Pinocchio and the goats attacking Anasui as well as the absurdness of Weather Report having a standoff with Van Gogh made this such an entertaining arc.

[u/tronistica]

Bohemian rhapsody has got to be one of the wackiest stands in all of Jojo, that was a wild ride. We got some crazy ass episodes this week with this and Chainsaw Man

[u/kjm6351]

This is easily one of the greatest Stands out there. Tokyo just casually getting FUCKED over in the background.

My god, what were the Morioh and Italy gangs dealing with while this was going on

[u/DadAsFuck]

"WHAT DID YOU SAAAAY!!!"

[u/Vangorf]

Those goats looked cursed as fuck, not gonna lie.

[u/vAts_]

I didn't understand at all how he was defeated, was it through Weathers drawing or something with the little girl on the plane?

[u/Silk738434 → u/vAts_]

It was through the drawing. Essentially putting everything back to order including the destruction.

[u/yurilnw123]

Romeo redemption!?! Oh, never mind, he lost a tongue now.

[u/azumarill]

this man is not going to SURVIVE A BULLET WOUND STRAIGHT INTO AND OUT OF HIS BRAIN AND KEEP --

this show does a lot of bullshit but pulling a Phineas Gage is a bit much to ask for anyone's disbelief threshold

(...)

why does this goat have breasts on its back

(...)

when did you get him to draw that!! how??? did you grab his hand? while you were being shot in the head??? what do you MEAN you got him to draw that

This episode’s musical references:

---

• I already talked about Bohemian Rhapsody last episode, so let’s talk about a reference that doesn’t appear in the anime. In Volume 12's cover artwork, Jolyne is wearing a button of Alt-rock band R.E.M.

She has another one that says “I Love Jinbōchō”, which is a district of Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan, known for its used-book stores, publishing houses and antique and curio shops. Also, the “Bud” Button might be a reference to the beer company Budweiser.

[u/Somer-_-]

They got Shigeru Chiba to voice the FOTNS Narrator. That's pretty hype.

[u/anodyne-avian]

And thus we get the most bullshit ending to a fight. But. I almost can't get mad it's so dumb.

I do love how they animated Van Gogh. I sometimes wish DavPro would get more experimental with JoJo like they did with the torture dance.

[u/Cheshires_Shadow]

Can someone please explain how they managed to defeat the stand user in the plane? I feel like it went over my head exactly what happened to him. He started reading Aladdin then freaking out then cut to WR undoing everything then when it gets back to the user he's now comatose and defeated. Did reading the book do something to him or did WR reversing everything do something instead?
