Preview spoilers.
The new hairstyle looks so weird in anime form. Maybe it's because they made his hair white instead of gray?
 
I need the rest of this part injected into my veins. I've been waiting for a long time to see this animated and it will live up to the hype. Part V ending still my hypest end finale but this one is still great
 
ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST 35

What ability could Kira have possibly gained to make him so cocky and carefree?

...

Oh...Oh no...

Rohan just straight up lying right here

so was David just saving their energy to make sure the finale looks good with all those uggo episodes earlier because I've only seen one bad screenshot so far (at work, not watching yet)

because if we can avoid DIO's World levels of production trainwreck I can forgive some shit

Oh my god, I was thinking about waiting to watch the Bites the Dust arc all in one sitting, but I don't think I can wait anymore hahaha so hyped!
 
I don't get why time needs to rewind for Hayato after someone blows up. Like, the bomb protected Kira by blowing Rohan up. Why not just leave that timeline active?

It'll be clearer in the next episode, but it's mostly that a simple power like that would be boring and Araki can't have that
 
All we can say is keep watching.

Implying Araki has deep reasons instead of just making something more complex for the sake of the story.

Not buying it at all to be honest. This is another one of those things like Mannish Baby being superintelligent. It won't have any in story explanation or justification. It is just there for the story to be interesting.

I'll eat my hat if the answer is anything but the bolded.
 
...ok? What do you want us to do, give you blatant spoilers?

There are people in this world who actually haven't read the manga. My post was geared more towards speculating and discussing with those people.

"Just wait for next week" is boring.

Nooo? That'd be pretty terrible protection since Kira knows Rohan isn't working alone.

Literally what could anyone do with the information that Rohan died? I guess they try to investigate Hayato and that house too since they knew Rohan was going to do that. But once they do that BTD also activates and kills them.

As someone who has read the manga, you're essentially right. If Bites the Dust didn't involve time-rewinding it would be a much better power for Kira. But if stand users could design their stands then they wouldn't often have the esoteric weaknesses that make the fights interesting.

Making it obvious who the killer is, which is the exact opposite of what Kira wants and what the arrow has granted him.
 
Episode 35

My god, THAT WAS AWESOME! I can't believe we're finally seeing Another One Bites The Dust animated. So good. I also love the flourishes and transitions they've done this episode. They were as good as the ones from earlier in the series.

My personal favourite was Hayato looking out the window, then turning to look at his mother in the kitchen. I also liked Yoshihiro appearing in thin air before Kira grabbed the picture. When BTD first activated within Kira after the arrow pierced him was also cool looking. The slow fade to white before Rohan opens his car door was stylish and terrific.

By the looks of it, they also finally updated the ED. You can see Yuya and his girls on the main road with Toshikazu and Yukako, with Kinoto beside him back against the tree; Ken Oyanagi (RPS Kid) by the Angelo stone, Mikitaka upside-down on the streetlight, Kanedaichi, and Miyamoto on the checkerboard path to Koichi's house.

Also, Kira finally kissed Shinobu. That has got to be one of the weirdest relationships I somehow find myself supporting.
 
Man, that was so good. It was really hard watching that happen to Rohan though, the music and all sound stopping when he staggered was just.... ugh.

Now the wait begins for next week. Some one activate Bites the Dust so I can watch it again.
 
Great episode. Probably their slowest pace so far (only like 4 chapters).

Minor thing they cut out: When Kira's dad tells him he has to leave Morioh, we see that Kira has chewed the symbol for 'VICTORY' on his fingernails.

Because it would have been a repeat of the Shigechi situation.

Koichi: Mr. Jotaro, did you hear something?
Jotaro: I think so, was that Rohan?
Koichi: Wait, that's one of Rohan's pen earrings!......oh no.

....yeah
 
Also, I just remembered, there were two people I forgot to mention who now appear in the ED. Okuyasu's dad is now beside him, and more importantly...

Kira's coworker is now part of the ED.

Wow, I wonder if DP realized how much of a meme he became in Japan, and just decided to add him in because of that.

Kira's coworker became a meme in Japan? That's news to me.
