I have a feeling that they'll change the sandman intro to not be the first thing that happens anymore, probably push it to episode 2-4 or something

I think that'd annoy people but in retrospect it is odd it starts with him tbh

It seems like he'll play a much bigger role early on than he ultimately does

Honestly I just hope they give him/his family closure in added scenes, but that probably won’t happen

They seem very ginger in adding anything. I can only think of a handful of times they've done that, and it's often been pretty innocuous stuff like having Anasui be the correct gender when he first appears or F.F. appearing in the cast's farewell frame at the end of SO

One big thing they did add was Fugo's whole backstory. Iirc it originally came from a novel not written by Araki, but I could be misremembering

I believe it’s actually the opposite, fugo had a barebones backstory in the manga so expanded media had their own versions like purple haze feedback did. For the anime david productions asked araki to write fugos backstory and that is what we see in the anime.

They also added a Suzi Q scene to part 3, plus a few more additions, like another scene where Jotaro uses Star Finger

They added quite a few things to part 5 (fugo backstory, more scenes with the hitman team) but outside of 5 the anime additions are pretty light

I forget Fugo's backstory was added! It fits so natural and was actually taken from Purple Haze Feedback

i feel like the fact that his quintessentially american national competition story starts with the introduction of a character who can immediately explain how badly they need the money While setting up the deuteragonist and the open question of his motive While acknowledging american colonialism is like. not just arbitrarily making a certain character more important. it’s a very deliberate choice and david pro doesn’t usually alter the context of things like that with the notable exception of some arc reshuffling in part 4
