    Killer queen has like, four or five abilities that have basically nothing to do with each other.

    They’re at least thematically consistent, orbiting around a central idea of protecting Kira’s secret by making bombs.

    Bomb type 1 lets him erase evidence completely and kill in a way that nobody can trace back to him, aside from other Stand users. Bomb type 2 is an autonomous killer that he doesn’t need to be anywhere near to at any point, preventing even Stand users from tracking his location when he disposes of particularly troublesome evidence. And bomb type 3 is super meta, in that it turns Kira’s secret into a bomb, so if you bypass everything and find him out, you die because of that.

    Granting the irony of this particular phrasing, I can never remember Sheer Heart Attack's name.

    Meaning if it's been a month or two I'll be like "Kira's stands were Killer Queen, Bites The Dust, and.........................................." I know exactly what it looks like and what it does, but can't get the phrase Sheer Heart Attack to surface.

    My favorite musical instrument is the air-raid siren.

    A stand can’t have more than one power!

    Unless you have two stands, that’s just fine then.

    multiple stands have more than one power

    stands can be whatever the fuck araki wants them to be

    Araki has a character say "That's impossible, a stand can only have one power" basically once per arc at minimum.

    Meanwhile, DIO either has multiple stands outright, or one with radically different powers.

    Or one with a super specific power, but that’s just my personal pet theory.

    A question about series 6 -- I'm reading the manga, on an ebook reader, so it's in black and white. Araki's art style is pretty busy at the best of times, but the end of Vento Aureo:
    It got to the point where I really could not tell what was going on without a lot of effort, both because of the art, and because what was going on was pretty complicated. In black and white, I honestly got Mista and King Crimson confused at times because they both have diamond-shaped patterns on their costume, and without the colour to tell who was whom (plus all the other plot hijinks happening that complicate things) I found I'd get lost at times.

    Is Stone Ocean easier to read? Are the stand powers less confusing?

    On an unrelated note, we just did some renovations in the basement, and one of the things came with this box:

    Parts 6 and 7 get pretty nuts, it's true

    I really liked a lot of the ones in 7, not a lot of traditional humanoid stands but a lot of interesting ones all the same, like D I S C O's, Mike O's, Ringo Roadagain's etc

    Kind of love how that means once the villain pulls out a "punch good and fast" stand, it's a huge scary deal.

    I think traitor's requiem is the absolute bottom tier in both song choice and OP execution.

    Maybe it's because it's fresher in my mind, but I put Chase at the bottom over Traitor's Requiem because I literally always forget Chase was even an OP

    That said, I like all the OPs

    Great Days is just the best one

    Depends on what you're looking for. Fighting Gold has the best song but End of the World has the best execution. If you want the average of both then it's Great Days.

    Chase has so many easter eggs in it. And it really fits the tone shift from "oh hey it's a city of people with Stands isn't the C R A A Z Y " to "holy shit there is a serial killer in this town"

    I did not like fighting gold at all when it first came out.

    It has grown on me.

    But it still doesn't hold a candle to most of the other songs, for me.

    all the parts 1-3 OPs are my favorites, Stand Proud is the best. I was disappointed they stopped doing those style of OP with part 4.
