- Why is Bucciarati so trusting?
- Please, let there be another reason for the switchroo other than fondling with trish's body.

I was kinda discouraged when I heard that the last volume would be really short, so that might be the reason I rated it 4/5. The main villain was a brilliant idea, but I feel like we didn’t get enough time to actually get to know him more. Doppio got enough time for us to understand him, but when Diavolo appeared, and then disappeared for half of the volume, I just felt like something was missing. I needed a bit more time for him to feel like THE MAIN VILLAN. Overall, a solid volume. The last volume awaits. Let’s see what happens.

Garbage volume. Part 5 is where JoJo starts to get bad. This is one of the worst so far. The art is terrible. So much of it is incomprehensible. Parts 3 and 4 read smoothly and effortlessly. Not so here. It’s a struggle to decipher the mess of sprawling, twisted figures, inconsequential detail, and poor framing.
None of the characters are likable. (All dull and criminals) Facial expressions are weak. Sameface syndrome. The plotting becomes increasingly convoluted and nonsensical.
The first fight, bucciarati vs secco is a total snooze. Goes on way too long and ends badly, not with a clever resolution, but with some blown out tires and a zipper attack.
SPOILERS
The rest is even more of a mess. We get the return of Polnareff, my favorite character in all JoJo, but it’s an inauspicious cameo, in which he shows up in a wheelchair then promptly dies and turns into a turtle. Narancia also dies and I couldnt care less.
Among the only interesting segments are the vignettes involving random people affected by requiem’s ability. A woman switched with a baby. A man with a girl etc. These parts display some of Araki’s trademark bizarre humor, generally lacking in part 5.
Anyway, plot wise, the boss has 2 souls which are now split — doppio & diavolo. diavolo is planning to get the arrow. Requiem (Polnareff’s evolved stand) is transforming all life forms into creatures? Giorno is back in his body. Bucciarati is in diavolo’s body. Trish and mista switched. We don’t know who diavolo inhabits. The turtle is transforming.

La pelea contra Cioccolata y Secco es la mejor de toda esta saga. Creo que vale la pena leer tanto ripio solo para llegar a ella.

I was not expecting that person to return from the grave.

Atp Diavolo doesn't even seem like a proper villain- he's just sort of been wedged in.
But also- HOLY SHIT POLNAREFF‼️‼️

Comienzan las despedidas :'(
Voy a tener que escribir reseñas provisorias para un montón de tomos de Jojo's porque sigue habiendo iditoas que combinan la edición tankoubon con la bunko y hacen desastres con las series y reviews de cada tomo.
No recuerdo el por qué específico del punteaje a este tomo pero aguante Vento Aureo y toda la manga de asesinos y dementes que pululan por sus páginas.
Igual ojalá empiece a salir más rápido así tenemos Stone Ocean cuanto antes y Steel Ball Run a continuación.
