[QUOTE=Jetpack Bear;52733130]The piece that holds up my SAS Fugo broke at the base
Wish you'd get two[/QUOTE]
Collapses and stops being useful way too soon [sp]just like Fugo[/sp]
I made do with what I had
I gave Fugo the holder from my Wamuu figure and gave Wamuu the smaller holder that came with Kira that's meant for Sheer Heart Attack and wrapped a small piece toilet paper around the point so it'd fit into the slot on Wamuu's back
it all works out because I have Wamuu posed so that he's basically slav squatting so that it's low enough and you cant see the toilet paper anyway
I was ready to hate Trish but she turned out to be a pretty decent character. [sp]Her stand is actually the coolest shit, too.[/sp]
And in general, I think Bucchaletti and his team are probably my favorite characters in the series so far, they're all just so well developed and written (bar Giorno), And even Giorno has a really fun stand to make up for his rather poor writing.

I felt Gold Experience was mostly an asspull machine that kept getting new abilities and forgetting old ones if the story asked for it. Although that happens more often with Araki, with Giorno it felt especially weird. Also Trish gets like no screentime, I don't think [sp]she ever uses her Stand again once she gets it in the Notorious B.I.G fight[/sp]
I dont remember GE getting new powers outside of GER

[Sp]Fighting against baby maker, GE suddenly gets ability to chunk out body parts or something like that, uses to defeat villain.[/sp]
Enough times that happened made Part 5 hate it so bad my first reading of it.

The fuck are you on about, GE always had that power
His power is literally the ability to CREATE LIFE

To expand on this, Gold Experience was given an A in developmental potential when it was first revealed, which means his life creation ability always had the potential to be greater than just [sp]sprouting trees/branches in seconds or turning his tooth into a piss absorbent jellyfish. Being able to transmutate replacement body parts feels like an extension over his already broad life-based skillset[/sp].
The only GE power that I can recall off the top of my head that seems like an asspull is [sp]his damage reflection, as seen within the first opening chapters. I can't recall him using it (at least obviously) ever again.[/sp]
Edit:
What counts as getting new asspull powers would be Star Platinum getting [sp]time stop[/sp] since it's never hinted that he could do anything other than punch and kick things really really hard. GE was already established as a life manipulator, flora and fauna based, so it makes sense he can do that shit.

Related to Spoiler bit.
[sp]You forget that he did such feats at incredible speeds. Hard hitting, extremely precise, and insanely quick. He became so fast that he became faster than time. [/sp]
Just finished Part 5, and damn that was pretty good.
[sp]The ending was pretty great, albeit bittersweet. Some of my favorite characters were killed off, and it was especially sad to see Narancia go, as he had all that life ahead of him. Gold Experience Requiem was somewhat underwhelming, but that frame where he was introduced was awesome. The epilogue was a cool bit of closure, too.[/sp]

Creating random animal and plant life from objects is one thing, [sp]creating cubes of specific body parts and inserting them into cube shaped holes is entirely another[/sp]
While yes, it does fit into GE's abilities, the overarching problem is that GE's abilities are broad and poorly defined. Its high developmental potential only reminds me of the worst parts of Hamon, where Araki could pull something out of his ass to satisfy the story. Much prefer well defined stands, as clashes between it and other specified stands are the best fights.

To this day, [sp]Crazy Diamond vs Killer Queen[/sp] is the only final stand battle where there were no last-moment asspulls* to save the day and I absolutely love it.
*[sp]Tusk Act 4 wasn't too bad because Johnny basically won the fight against Valentine with his wit and conscience and Diego tears Johnny a new one with The World which is even more bullshit than Tusk 4[/sp]
So is season 4 of the anime gonne air in 2018?
I hope the Anime doesn't tone the gore down too much. Part 5's absurd amount gore was part of the whole crime drama feel.
[editline]8th October 2017[/editline]
Anyways, are there any translations of Part 6 that I should beware of in general? I wouldn't like a bad translation to ruin my experience.
Hey, even bad translations can be a beautiful Duwang.

It hasn't been announced yet so the answer is "god knows when".
[QUOTE=Ott;52759238]So is season 4 of the anime gonne air in 2018?[/QUOTE]
Part 3 was announced October 2013, launched April of 2014. Part 4 was announced October 24th 2015, launched April of 2016. Either we get it announced in a week or two, or next year.
Why does it say shit on it though.
I don't remember him actually ever saying that.
OH MY GOOOOOD is more iconic anyways even if he did.

He wanted to mix up "holy shit" and "oh my god". Also IMO "holy shit" is more memorable just because it's more crass.
I just started reading Stone Ocean and I think Jolyne is probably my new favorite Jojo! Only a few chapters in and I've already felt really emotional. I can tell I'll like this part!
[sp] also eat a dick Romeo, you never deserved Jolyne.[/sp]
I think my only gripes with SAS figures don't even have anything to do with the figures themselves, it's always the shipping
99% of the time you're getting them from Japan, so unless you want to fork out 20+ dollars for expedited shipping, you're going to be waiting a month+ to get them
And the Japanese sellers really don't like giving tracking numbers either for some reason
Thus Spoke has finally been subbed and put up on YouTube of all places!
Downside is that they didn't actually TL it and instead just tried to rip lines from the manga and line them up with what happens in the OVA. It's not ideal, but it should get us by until a better subbing or official release, which I'm worried might not happen at all.
