YES! If the Stands are anthropomorphic representations of an user's ego then StaPla's expressions must mean something about Jotaro's expression *sniggers*

It is cool, and remind me of vodoo drawings... you know, if vodoo witches actually drew anything -_-;; (it make sense in my brain.) Exactly! It made me laugh! But it definitely was horrifying at the same time. Araki does some aweome horror.

Anyone of Joseph's genes can't help it but have a really good sense of humour ^__^

YES! It was indeed Kakyouin's idea to keep Polnareff in the dark. I felt so sorry for Polnareff but it was so fuuny!

The thing is I saw the OAVs before I ever even knew there was a 70+ something manga series to read. So I knew to expect the death (hell I had COLOUR VISUALS of the deaths), therefore, I set out reading part 2 with huge reservation (mantra of: DON'T GET OO ATTACHED! DON'T GET TOO ATTACHED!) And some of it stuck, some *sigh*. Abdul and Iggy's death had way more impact in the manga because I got the chance fall in love with Abdul and Iggy's characters, when Polnareff started crying I kinda lost it *sniffles*. When Kakyouin died I had a more reserved reaction though I couldn't help but wonder about his parents. I mean, d00d! He's a HS student, and his parents from what we know aren't bad people, when they found it must have been devastating... hmm, and now I want fic where Jotaro goes back to Japan and inform Kakyouin's parents about his death. But yes, definitely painful, as with the other deaths it defnitely made me sad, and dammit WHY THE BEST FRIENDS?! WHY?! THE JOJOs DOESN'T DESERVE THIS! *CRIES* I am so TRAUMATISED over Caesar and the thing is I can't even tell you why, because you are right Abdul's death was much more sudden, Kakyouin had his moment of glory, yet I'm UNBELIEVEBLY traumatised by Caesar. Damn you Araki!

Dio is just that kind of guy, though. From part one, he likes to screw with people. But that esp. inventive streak of fucking with people is what makes Dio a megalomaniac evil overlord to remember.

Dio is evil. Hot but evil.

Oh, and you still have Part 4 to look forward to... now that is "different."

Up to volume 30-something. Not going to read more because I only have up to volume 39, and I have just stopped after the boys got that load of cash, and it is just the beginning of the Kira arc. I don't want to start something that's not going to be wrapped up. I NEED more manga.

Part 4 is surprisingly different, and while it is still harsh it isn't as harsh as the previous parts (and I am forever thankful for that). In fact, dare I say, it is almost innocent, there's none of that MUST kill the opponents, or the opressing intenstity like the previous parts, and I admit I'm beginning to breathe a bit easier (not looking out for who is going to be murdered *twitches*). Josuke is more like Jonathan than the other Joestars, and Crazy Diamond's ability is fecking awesome (A MALE HEALER!). I LOVE JOTARO! I love the fact that Jotaro has received such a reputation after the defeat of Dio, NO one wants to fight him heads on and that's just hilarious. On the other hand the incident with the rat stand users shows us that CARDINAL rule of JoJo's: No matter how hardcore the Stand it can ALWAYS be brought down by someone less powerful. It is the creativity and the intelligence of the user, surprise will, more often than not, win the battle for you. Seeing Joseph is both painful and somehow brings me a smile at the same time, and I'm too mixed up to provide a proper anwer as to the whys.

P.S. Echo is COOL!
