Diavolo's personality is "i'm evil", and not in an endearing way like Dio. It has by far the most dogshit fights of any part (Baby Face, Rolling Stone, Man in the Mirror, two yachts, and let's not forget the ENTIRE FINAL ENCOUNTER THAT TAKES FOREVER AND IS ONE OF THE WORST FIGHTS IN THE ENTIRE SERIES), Golden Experience just does whatever it wants (vaccine snake will never be forgiven), and fate is such a terrible theme to be bludgeoned with over and over when Araki doesn't actually have anything to say about it. Giorno's motivation to control the mafia is Drugs Are Bad and he doesn't take issue with ANYTHING else related to the mob, and then even THIS motivation fizzles away after a few fights. I do not understand what anyone sees in Part 5. It has exactly 3 good fights and that's it. Can agree with Giorno, Fugo, and Trish being meh (Abacchio is interesting if he only did more) but I completely disagree with the fights. I think it has some of the best fights in the series. La Squadra is by far the best minor villain group in the series and La Squadra fight except Melone is top tier. Notorious BIG and Green Tea/Oasis of the Elite Group were also great with only Clash/Talking Head being eh although I personally liked it. If anything it's the other way around where I can count on one hand the fights that aren't good in part 5, those being Black Sabbath, Soft Machine, Babyface, and sadly the final fight with Diavolo himself (the chase for the arrow against SCR is cool albeit not final boss material). Part 5 is also when Araki really got into his groove of writing Stand battles that are actually back-and-forth fights rather than "protags get their ass kicked for 90% of the fight before discovering the enemy's main weakness and then one shotting them" that most of part 3 and even part 4 is. Unfortunately, part 8 seemed to regress back into that for a bunch of fights due to the concentration of long range/automatic stands (including the final boss). Ozon Baby is a strong exception. --- </topic> <cite>GiftedACIII posted [p:970431161] in I finished...
