Strange enough, the bad guys usually have a good reason to split up. Usually, the big bad is at the end of the road busy doing his thing, while his minions have their own territories and sub minions.Originally Posted by DarthEnderX
Only the good guys intentionally forgo teaming up just for the sake of forgoing it.
Er, no? Team battles are completely different from 1 vs 1s. Its inherent complexity is likely one of the main reasons manga/anime authors avoid it.
Peace.
Well, like, for example, take One Piece in the Mermaid Island arc. All the good guys and bad guys fought in the same place, but even though they were all together, they still ended up going 1-on-1 or 2-on-2 against each other. It's not like either side fought as a single unit, supporting each other and doing combo attacks with each other or anything like that.
That's what I meant. Team fights are complex, so authors tend to shoe them into one vs one's. A true group battle is absolutely chaotic and very hard to write, but if pulled off well, should be far more interesting than done-to-death duels.
Peace.
The Airbender shows do a really good job of it.

I'm confused. I thought Stands only started appearing when Dio came back. So how did Anubis' master have one so long ago?
Also, the more obvious question of, how the hell does a Stand exist if it's master is dead?
That's what I thought, but since then I've stopped thinking.

Episode 30, 31
--------------------------------
The sex jokes made this couplet the best it's been for ages. Too bad they ruined Mariah by making her throw ugly faces and phrases a few times, but it's still good.
Joseph's power is pretty weak and he stuffs up heaps, but that's what makes him great to watch. What exactly can't Star Platinum do?
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
This.
He'd be a hell of a lot more powerful if Stands weren't just immune to Ripple for no reason.
Hermit Purple is weak physically, but I swear every week they invent a new way for it's clairvoyance to manifest itself. First it was cameras, then TVs, now dirt.
Oh, they've done dirt (particles) before. There was that time where Joseph had to escape from the stand that grew on his arm by sucking blood. He mapped out some tar or something in dirt while he fell.
The new thing that happened this time though, was that by showing Mariah's movements in real-time he upgraded the map to GPS.
How scary was mistaking the old lady's "amazing legs" though? Leggings are now the most deceptive thing next to makeup and corsets.

"Polnareff, don't let your guard down."
"Who do you think you're talking too?"
He's talking to one of a group of five people who do nothing but let their guard down.
Yeah but it turned out totally awesome right? Even a kid knows that much.

I think Jojo might be TOO much of a badass...
Hats off to Polnareff for keeping this woman safe though. The feels were strong this episode. He's already avenged his sister so he can actually settle down with her instead of continuing this quest to hunt Dio.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I don't think that's really an option.
If Jojo and Co. were to fail, there's no way Dio wouldn't come for Polnareff eventually. Dio has to be taken care of before any of them will be safe.

This episode was pretty badass until it got really goofy towards the end.
I have been stocking the Jojo episodes. Is this still worth watching or should I drop it like Tokyo Ghoul the anime? From scanning the comments, it seems to have taken a turn for the goofy, and I don't like that.
Peace.
I'm not sure, I've got TG backed up myself.
I'd say this is better than TG, since this actually has a direction even if it's not one that we like. The water Stand was good, and latest stand was fun to watch and the two before that were accompanied with eyecandy if nothing else.

Yay! More Hol Horse!
Hol Horse is definitely my favorite stand user in the series so far. Stylistically, I love the "boom warp" sound when he summons the Emperor. It excites my inner 8 year old. Also, he's the only enemy to run away and live to fight another day.
Interestingly enough, this episode pretty much confirmed Dio has not put his mind parasyte in Hol. I wonder why he lets some of his agents retain their free will?
