Chapter 186. Even Vilins Need a Savior
---
A shadow?
And it's a shadow of a Stand exging punches with [Star Ptinum]?
Looking at the image produced by [White Snake].
Following the method provided by [White Shey mao produce a nearly identical image themselves.
Some more patient viewers, after repeatedly capturing sshots, even mao produce a clearer version of the image.
Regarding this and that resembles [Star Ptinum], no one believed that this was simply a mistake made by Green Dolphin Studio or Kamikaze Studio while produg the OP, like actally drawing [Star Ptinum] incorrectly.
Nor did they believe it was a case of flipping the dire of [Star Ptinum]'s punch to be the exact opposite.
…Su expnation would be far too elementary to be an error by Green Dolphin Studio!
So if that's not the case...
Whose Stand does this shadow, this previously uand, belong to?
This question really isn't plicated at all.
There's the se from the first OP of "Stardust Crusaders", depig Jotaro and the others traveling from Tokyo to Egypt, with images of the various tries they passed through and the Stand users they entered along the way.
And in the sed OP, even though it only just introduced the [Geb].
Uhe first OP, because the earlier part of their jouro Egypt has already been aired.
Even at the end of this OP, with the explosive special effect of the title "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" erupting, a piece of paper with Kujo Jotaro's signature appeared hiddeh the explosive effect.
After the episode featuring the [Lovers] aired, viewers suddenly realized this was a hidden clue, different from the hints about Pucci's past which hadn't yet been revealed in the inal manga.
Even though they could see that the sed OP of "Stardust Crusaders" tained many clues, the viewers, without the be of spoilers from the manga, couldn't be sure if these clues matched what they were imagining.
But just with the introdu of the [Geb], and the subsequent appearance of the silhouettes of the remaining niian gods' Stand users… these hints were already more than enough!
It's like in RPG adventure games where pyers start from fighting slimes in the newbie vilge aually defeat the demon king.
If the Stand users appeared in order as enemies do, then the final Stand user to appear could only be—
[White Snake]: "That's right! It's—KO NO DIO DA!!"
[White Snake] replied, emphasizing the key words in bold.
And still being diligent iing evidence.
After this shadowy Stand appeared in the OP, in a se where Jotaro seemed to sense something and turo look behind him!
DIO!
With the exact same appearance as the DIO drawn by Joseph using [Hermit Purple], the sshot of DIO standing behind Jotaro was released as well!
[White Snake]: "So it's simple! This Stand belongs to DIO!!"
What did [White Snake] say after that?
What further analysis did he offer of this OP?
Cujoh Jolyne, upon seeing this point, no longer wao tinue reading.
Or rather, she no longer had the mood to keep reading!
Now, with her face filled with despair, Cujoh Jolyne, upon seeing [White Snake] mention DIO's name, could already imagine how the viewers of "Stardust Crusaders" would go absolutely wild!
It's DIO!
The savior of vilins!
Even without such titles.
Just from the iic image DIO tributed in "Phantom Blood", and the significe of "Phantom Blood" as the groundbreaking work for "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure"...
That alone would be enough for viewers to go crazy upon seeing DIO, not just in a photograph via [Hermit Purple], but with his Stand fully revealed!
…No! It might get even more exaggerated!
Since [White Snake] could find DIO's Stand in the OP, then what about them?
Could they find even more clues reted to DIO in this OP?!
Cujoh Jolyne could almost foresee how, after [White Snake] opehis Pandora's box, "Stardust Crusaders" would undergo massive ges and see a skyrocketing viewership!
"Thankfully, "Stardust Crusaders" isn't just an ordinary work…"
Should she feel thankful?
She really should be!
Cujoh Jolyne, breathing heavily, her face still carrying an expression of painful despair.
But whehought about how "Stardust Crusaders", aside from the produ costs, also required signifit funding for eology development.
Realizing that it would be hard for "Stardust Crusaders" to recoup the costs through selling BD bonuses, even with its immense popurity...
The ers of Cujoh Jolyne's mouth couldn't help but lift slightly.
Pucci, truly her lucky star!
"It's just that, from now on, no more returning popur characters... No, even if they do return, it has to be like Joseph—without overshadowing the main cast!"
Never before had Cujoh Jolyne so clearly realized the impact ing back old characters, so she hurriedly jotted down this note and prepared to apply it to all of Green Dolphin Studio's future works.
inally, Cujoh Jolyne had po avoid bringing back old characters entirely.
But remembering how, at the start of "Stardust Crusaders", everyone was drawn in by Joseph and DIO, the former protagonists and the antagonist from the previous parts, almost fetting Jotaro, the true main character...
Cujoh Jolyne couldn't bear to lose the disruptive power of these popur characters.
She had no choice but to adopt this promise.
However, as Cujoh Jolyne soled herself and tried to muster fidehrough these thoughts, she seemed tet...
Whether it was the OP...
Or [White Snake]'s analysis of the OP...
They were merely triggers.
What truly kept viewers hooked, repeatedly rewinding and pausing to take sshots of the OP...
Was always the story of "Stardust Crusaders" itself, beiing enough!
Just like now.
After "Stardust Crusaders" successfully, and nearly unscathed, weathered the storm of this temporary plot adjustment...
In its episode.
Viewers would truly witness, no lohrough any trickery, but Pucci's fidehat they would accept this new setup.
And accept the debut of the Stand user he [Geb]!
"Even vilins need a savior!"
