Chapter 235. Shining Tiga
---
The flow had ged.
Or rather, with no spoilers from the manga, the ret developments in "Stardust Crusaders" weighed on the audience like a mountain, suffog them.
It's fair to say "Stardust Crusaders" was gripping, that characters like Jotaro had embedded themselves deeply in the viewers' hearts. So, seeing their beloved characters like Avdol, Iggy, Kakyoin, and Joseph… fag death one by one, felt unbearable. The deaths depicted in the opening (OP) ses were happening ioryline almost every day, verifying that the death foreseen in the OP was no joke.
The arget freen Dolphin Studio? her than Jotaro. The audience's sense of despair was immense!
With spoilers out, could the "Stardust Crusaders" plot really be ged? Could it be altered?
The audience didn't know. Some didn't even want to know.
This time was different from "Phantom Blood" and "Battle Tendency". DIO's vapor freezing teique and Kars' ultimate life form transformation had left viewers with an overwhelming sense of hopelessness at first as if these vilins were uable.
Yet DIO, even as a vampire, initially lost to Jonathan, who was still human and hadn't even learned Hamon. And the Pilr Men, who nearly exterminated a Hamon warriors, were no match for Joseph's human iy.
These flickers of hope, carefully interwoven into the plot, assured the audiehat DIO and Kars weren't invincible. Even if the viewers couldn't initially figure out how they'd be defeated, JOJOs with ce and human qualities would prevail!
But in Stardust Crusaders? DIO had returned after a hundred years with Stand powers—had he ever know?
Regrettably, no…
When Kakyoin, Polnareff, or Avdol first entered DIO, their only thought was to flee!
If they couldn't escape, DIO would trol their fate.
This unparalleled terror, bined with Enya and N'Doul's self-sacrifices for DIO, gradually painted DIO as a savior of vilins, backed by the power of [The World], a Stand worthy of such a title.
The bination of these elements fueled the viewers' despair, leaving them both curious yet unwilling to know what would happe. They feared the outight be something they couldn't bear…
But now, things have ged!
When [Star Ptinum] and Jotaro's earth-shaking "Ora Ora!" resounded in the OP, paired with his thunderous punch toward DIO, everyone could see it like a cp of thunder.
All of them!
The despair that had bhe audience seemed shattered by [Star Ptinum]'s punch!
Though they hadn't yet seen how Jotaro would achieve it, this was the allure of "JoJo"—the ce to defy fate that didn't only arise in the JOJOs but also spread to their panions and even to the audience.
Yet...
"—[The World]!"
The gears of time suddenly stopped turning.
Uhis immense power, even the viewers felt as though they were frozen by the altered OP's iy.
In the post-OP storyliime is stopped by DIO's hand.
"So, the Joestar bloodline is finally at its end, by my hand."
It was as if DIO was mog the audience, leisurely walking up to the immobilized Jotaro, mirr the OP's poses and as, shattering any hope that Jotaro in the plot could do what Jotaro in the OP did.
DIO raised his hand to strike Jotaro, sneering, "You, my destined enemy, farewell…!"
[The World] was uable!
Even if Jotaro ks abilities, it didn't matter.
If Jotaro was within [The World]'s range, nothiried could withstand its power!
...That's how it was supposed to be!
"Wh-What? He moved! How could it be!? His finger just moved!?"
DIO's triumphant smile shifted to disbelief. He quickly stepped back, moving away from Jotaro.
DIO's paone veyed his disbelief:
This was impossible! How could this be?!
"Could it be... the same!?"
"[The World] and [Star Ptinum]—they're the same type of Stand... with the exact same ability?!"
Five seds passed in the blink of an eye.
Just like the new frames Pucd others added to the "Stardust Crusaders" OP, time resumed, color returned, and the world tinued.
As the previously silent ents began to flood in, the s was overwhelmed with the viewers' fiery responses, expressing their intense feelings.
If the OP ges gave them a thrill simir to seeing Kuuga before Daguva a befatanothor, then now, not only had the OP foreshadowed it, but the "Stardust Crusaders" plot had brought this se to life!
Now, it felt like Ultimate Kuuga and Shining Tiga had truly e to life for the audience!
