About this deal

It can withstand battle of Stand users inside and solid pummeling from the outside without taking too much damage and is only destroyed, when the self-destruct system is activated.

I like complex stories, but by the end I was just nodding along and trusting the novel on whatever because it's impossible to follow everything that happens, especially towards the end. I would rather have just read a more well structured story about Jorge in England, even if that meant cutting down the complexity, and therefore, the originality of it. Narancia is pretty fun, Pucci is better than ever, Lisa Lisa is great, Ultimate Kars is honestly better than he was in Part 2, etc. I like how well it references and parallels the various parts in character roles, storytelling, and abilities.After receiving a letter from a dying Dario, George honors his "debt" by allowing Dario's son Dio Brando to live at the Joestar Mansion and accepts him unconditionally as a member of the family. The stand abilities and so unique and interesting and the characters have so much more life to them like Koichi for example.

This piece of literature is the proof of how far can the human mind go , how wild the imaginations can get , and how it by some sort of miracle, the most bizarre and random set of events, end up making sense . The other universe, starts out in Part 4 alternate Morioh, which is probably the funniest chapter in the book because of the silly differences between this universe and the manga/anime one . The plot is kinda hard to follow, if you don't know details from Maijo's earlier books and even then, some references to JDC franchise can be lost on you. Even though it is 768-page long, most of the language it uses isn't very difficult, in comparison to NisiOisiN's books this one wasn't very difficult to read, even though I would say I just understood about 85% of it. The most apparent example is when he mistakenly believes Dario Brando saved his life, though the latter was actually attempting to rob him of his possessions.At first, Jorge is very naive, believing him and Diego could be friends, but as he grows up, he becomes more mature and more of a jokester, after Jonas is killed by Diego, Jorge becomes more of a hero and chases after Diego, no matter who stands in his way. You begin pre-Part 2, as you would expect, but with an odd murder case involving a child whose skin could peel off whole. George dies nestled in Jonathan's hold, cheering his son up saying that is best for a father to die in the arms of his son. As I said, this Dio is the ORIGINAL Dio from Phantom Blood, and it’s revealed that, apparently, the Dio from Stardust Crusaders who was killed by Jotaro was a fake. Somehow, Kira learns the Spin technique afterwards, and during a fight with Lisa Lisa, kills her by infusing a rope with the Golden Rectangle before it snaps due to Made in Heaven’s effects, causing a blast intense enough to rip her legs apart, emulating Killer Queen’s explosive powers, despite Kira having lost it.

The attempt to make a JoJo story into a detective novel is interesting, but it doesn't really work since most of the conclusions to the problems faced are often logical leaps that make no sense, or are reliant on information the reader never had to begin with. I have seen this book jokingly described elsewhere as a Jojo's Bizarre Adventure fanfiction but the comparison is an apt one. Elements from the first seven parts are mixed together with no regard for coherence, and the end result is widely regarded as memorable for this exact reason. Their family later moves to England, eventually leading to George becoming the prime suspect in a murder case of one of his friends. I knew going in that Jorge Joestar wasn't a masterpiece, that it was messy and such, but I couldn't possibly have known how it really is without reading it.

It can split into fleets of smaller vessels and rejoin back, launch cruise missiles, also usable for orbital bombardment, "swim" through space and atmosphere alike, work as an Escape Pod for the astronauts and even stop the bullet, aimed for the head, by swimming through blood and taking the hit.
