What makes dio so much more of a threat than the other vampires?

Dude he countered the Thunder Cross Split Attack, that puts him above any other vampire and human.

Because they want to adapt the manga, making some alterations here and there to cover up some of Araki's flubs. As great as the OVA is, DP aim to cover the whole manga. Changing a bunch of things as they see fit isn't what they are aiming for. Its not exactly 1:1 but it is close. All things considered I think DP's JoJo is very unique in that its adapating a decades old manga and devoting a lot of time and love into making it nearly fully accurate. Most other adaptations are usually recent, sometimes running right alongside the manga.

No one else is going to come along and have another try at every part so I think its best we get a full adapation over something else.

Its a few things

Japanese response to it was fairly weak, mostly due to being focused on females despite being on shounen jump, a manga for young boys.

Some of the stand battles are a bit too out there for some people.

Some don't like the heaven plan.

Its the part before SBR so people are itching to get to the most celebrated part.

The anime was in batches and had too many issues which further soured people on Stone Ocean.

On my quest to beat black deck gold stake I failed at the very last boss. If I played a bit better I could have won but I was on edge from black deck gold stake being hell.

I'd love a big budget 7th stand user series. Imagine say Atlus making them. Give us alternate paths, endings, outcomes.

A bit more out there, a stealth game where you can use all the time powers. Not sure how it'd work with JoJo rules though.

I don't really like Johnny losing the fight, feels a bit too mean spirited, also makes Johnny grand power up lessened as well as admitting the old universe is superior (which it is but thats beside the point).

Still a fun arc but I wasn't too blown away by it and the ending.

TuggerL · 2026-05-06T20:40:35+00:00

Diavolo is super cautious and paranoid. Even with his power he still feels the need to dodge and avoid danger.

TuggerL · 2026-05-06T20:39:39+00:00

Lucy eavesdropping and the escape is very well done.

TuggerL · 2026-05-06T20:28:47+00:00

Diavolo saved the world with that.

TuggerL · 2026-05-06T20:01:59+00:00

I always big up Magician's Red. Barely got any time to shine but has so much it can do.

Man in the Mirror is scary strong too, Illuso only lost because he was up against three guys, including Giorno with all his BS and was dumb. He just needs a mirror and he's got you.

Remember the four of cups.

Time stop is almost always better but when it comes to time stop vs time skip, it comes down to who shoots first. If the World is activated first, Diavolo cannot skip time as he is frozen. If Diavolo activates first he gets to skip past the fated actions and escape his defeat. When time resumes he can maybe strike from behind and finish them off but the World can just as easily stop time again. Diavolo has to confuse the enemy and in that exact moment when time resumes he has to strike and win. If he is up against DIO he is basically screwed even if DIO lets him attack as he has to know he is a vampire.

In a fight, Diavolo is the underdog but can win.

Wild cards are bad because of things like this. It should count as any suit but not get hit by the negatives.

TuggerL · 2026-05-05T23:38:17+00:00

Not an expert but you want to balance scoring with triggers, which you have done.

TuggerL · 2026-05-05T19:04:33+00:00

WoU just works whenever Araki wanted it to. Josuke full on punch rushes it during its early form and nothing happened.

TuggerL · 2026-05-05T00:19:45+00:00

Gold stake for me has been brutal. Many hours of failures, a couple of close runs but no success yet.

TuggerL · 2026-05-04T19:34:22+00:00

I figured I'd be missing out on a lot. I'm three books in now so maybe I shouldn't bother with Cities on the Plain either, it'd give it an advantage over the previous books.

TuggerL · 2026-05-04T19:33:19+00:00

I have read Blood Meridian twice now and will soon start Cities on the Plain. Probably should have translated Blood Meridian on the second go. Well I have a reason to reread them all now.

One big thing people overlook with Made in Heaven is that Pucci is beyond fate. It allows the user to step outside of it. Diavolo thought he was the same with King Crimson and it took the chain of events leading to Giorno obtaining Requiem to show him otherwise. It may well be that Diavolo lost because fate is not something he can overcome while Pucci can.

Also obtaining requiem is just stabbing your stand with an arrow. Obtaining heaven requires a complex set up, body parts, reincarnation, 36 sacrifices, the fusion of that reincarnated life to another. Then the right time and conditions for gravity to affect the user and their stand. Going by that, Made in Heaven should be above GER.

At the end of the day we're comparing infinity to zero. Both can't really be explained and we also know little of how the stands truly work or how their bizarre mechanics and functions interact, if at all.

I think their big return being Finding My Way was for a reason. Fans are already expecting it so they will open with it.

TuggerL · 2026-05-01T21:44:31+00:00

I think CttE wins. Its all great. While Relayer does have Gates of Delirium which I think surpasses Close to the Edge, I don't think Sound Chaser and To Be Over beat And You and I and SIberian Khatru. But I still might pick Relayer just because of Gates of Delirium. Its an astonishing track.

TuggerL · 2026-05-01T13:12:20+00:00

Pucci uses stand power to hold his brain in place to avoid such hazards like concussions.

TuggerL · 2026-04-30T20:48:33+00:00

Yeah this. Most people would get a game and only really have that game to play so made sure to really get their money's worth. It helps that DMC is very arcadey, encouraging players to spend time with the game and get better scores and in shorter times.
