Well, there’s another character that was subsequently ripped off. Anybody here play SNK fighting games? Have you noticed the blatant similarities between Dio’s new minion here and Benimaru of KING OF FIGHTERS? I mean, the only thing that differentiates them is the shade of bleach…
And while we’re tallying references, I don’t know if any of the Stands’ names have paid homage to musicians, but I suppose this guy’s ‘Silver Chariot’ could be a reference to Silver Chair. Or maybe to the Narnia book, depending on the timing…
== TEASER ==
(Pun intended) the stand-off with that giant beetle on the plane deck had to be one of the most delightfully absurd scenes in this entire scene. I… just… I mean… the bug blasts through an entire line of sleeping passengers so it can write ‘massacre’ on the wall with their blood as if it’s some cryptic warning! That Stardust Crusaders saw what he just did! There’s no hinting about it, now!
The resolution makes the scene even more amusing. After Joseph successfully lands the plane, he realizes they can’t continue this journey on conventional routes, lest they endanger any more innocents. So, in other words, these big dudes are simply too bad ass to travel like common men. It’s like that one scene in FIST OF THE NORTH STAR where Kenshiro’s bunk explodes after he wakes up and rolls out of it… because it simply couldn’t handle his manliness!
5000+ Honorary XP to whomever can explain to me what musical acts Kakyoin, Tower Gray and the various Stands’ names are in reference. I’m a completest about this, now. I want to see charts breaking down all the references. I simply must know them all!
Watch "Tower of Gray" and decide for yourself, then read my comments on the previous batch of episodes.
