La resolución de la pelea contra Bast (María) me pareció muy ingeniosa, entretenida y rebuscada, en el buen sentido. La pelea contra Seth (Alessi) es más rebuscada todavía, con unos cuantos toques de grotesco; y también me encantó. Por último este tomo incluye el "extra" en el que Hol Horse trata de hacerle frente a Dio (o eso cree), y se empiezan a dar pistas sobre qué hace el stand de Dio. Lástima que ya sé cuál es la gracia, si no seguro que me ponía a adivinar.
I thought this book some ups and downs because the second part went on for a little to long. the Overall story it's self is pretty entreating. One thing I didn't really like about it is it's not the best book in the series because there isn't much fighting and it's mostly just running away. Also I wasn't much of a fan of everyone split up fighting two stands. In conclusion it's pretty good but I wouldn't recommend because there are much better ones in the series especially closer to the end.
Como los leí desde la mitad hasta el final en maratón, no me acuerdo mucho de todo lo que pasó en el tomo, pero se que mis opiniones siempre han sido las misas, que Polnareeff es un buen personaje, Joseph sigue siendo el mismo querido Jojo, Abdul y Kakyoin siguen estables, y que Jotaro me parece muy perfecto para ser verdad.
Los stands me parecen muy curiosos y bizarros, y sigo extrañando a veces el Hamon
Anteriormente ya lo había mencionado, cuando más rancio se pone el manga, mejor es. El desenlace de Bast es muy divertido, Joseph tiene demasiado carisma y cada vez que puede lo irradía. Y la otra pelea de Polnareff es demasiado buena, porque utiliza el recurso que es un niño pequeño, dando unos matices buenísimos. Realmente disfruté muchísimo este volumen.
Joseph and Abdul must face off against the Bast Stand and its user before their bodies are crushed by the sheer force of magnetism; meanwhile, Polnareff fights for his life and that of a stranger when his opponent starts reverting the age of anyone his Stand touches! Araki offers an interesting, if a bit too immature, entry to keep fans decently engaged.
The back half of the Bast fight was fun because we got to see old man Joseph and stoic Avdol fumble around while a cute lady laughs at them. It's a comedy fight that works.
The reveal that Polnareff had been turned into a kid was impressive. I'd never seen a manga use a first person perspective before, so that was pretty cool. And little kid Chariot was cute. The turning point of the fight was another poop joke, which- just- come on.
I'm going to be honest though. When I was skimming over this volume for the review, I had zero memories of the Alessi fight. Which is a damning statement, considering that I read this book for the first time less than 2 weeks ago. It's just a lame fight to cap off a string of mostly lame fights.
At least the last chapter was good. Hol Horse showed up and we finally get some more Dio. Dio being scary and motivated and dangerous is very much needed at this point.
Admito que vi el animé primero (para el horror de Fefu) pero me gustó lo suficiente como para leerme todo el manga cuando pueda. Y aunque acá haya dejado de ser el protagonista y esté peinando canas, sólo puedo decir ¡Cómo le entro a Joseph! <3
This series always impresses with it's imaginative take on super powers. Jotaro and his gang go up against Maria, who has unusual powers of magnetism, and Alessi, who has the power to turn people into children.
