again, fucking love it's design. Definitely on my top 5 stand designs list. Shit, I know we've said it before, but goddamn does part 8 have cool stand designs.

It does, Araki is getting better and better at using/creating stands as JoJo goes on.

I completely agree. I've been thinking about this for a while, but since the main antagonists stand always looks cooler than the JoJo's, and Soft&Wet is probably the best stand design in the series, will part 8's main villain's stand be too awesome for me to handle?

We'd probably all get heart attacks just from the sheer sexiness the villain's stand would radiate.

I referenced a stand and I didn't even notice, (sheer heart attack.)

Speaking of part 4, did you notice that S&W's chest became extremely heart shaped during the Born This Way arc, and has kept this shape since? I wonder if it's Araki subtly referencing Crazy Diamond?

Oh, maybe. That could definently be a possibility. I bet there'll be a bunch of part 4 references since part 8 takes place in Morioh too.

Well, there was a straight up drawing of Crazy Diamond in part 8.

Oh yeah, I do remember that. Pretty cool. I liked how Araki made Daiya's favorite band be "Yes", that was a nice callback. Remember that Roundabout by Yes used to be the outro for part 1 and 2?

Yeah. Also, I think that Kira was killed because he found out about the fruit. It's stated that he was actively working to cure Holly of the same stone disease that Higashikata's have.

Also, I'd like to say that i am enjoying the stand abilities in the part. The more stupidly specific, the better. Like, for Fun Fun Fun to work, Ojirou has to trap the place below him every time he uses his ability. And Born This Way. How to get it to attack Gappy when he's sneaking up behind Kyou? Throw a loose pen at him.

Yeah, it's pretty awesome. You ever wonder about how Tsurugi's (I dunno if I spelt her name right.) face is really, really wierd? It looks like it belongs on a 40 year old man. It's in sort of an uncanny valley for me. I don't like looking at her face.

Well, he is awfully smart for a 9 year old. Also, "He". Do you think that Holly will become a big player later on?

Yeah, I keep using He and Her when referring to him. And yeah of course Holly will be important. Maybe she'll even fully develop her stand and not almost die from it. The missing parts of her brain will definently come to be important sometime in the future. Maybe Daiya's ability to affect memories will help her remember things?

Hmm, maybe. I also think that there is almost no possibility of her not getting a stand. She can see Paisley Park, after all. I also already like her way more than original Holly, just because she's done more in the like 12 pages she's been on then Original Holly ever did. What do you think her stand name will be?
