Seriously, remember when Jonathan was fighting Bruford, and the only reason he won was because he was an epic hero? Or when he fought Tarkus, and only won because Zeppeli got himself killed? Stuff used to happen on this show. Cool stuff. Funny stuff. Heroic stuff. There was a mystery. And a sense of urgency to kill Dio and, later, the Pillar Men.

The Japanese are nuts if this is their favorite arc. Dio needs to man up and actually do something, even if it has nothing to do with the party.
