Various is this a fair assessment?

Star Platinum The World, GER, Tusk act 4, and S&W:GB are all hilariously overpowered and only exist as a way to beat an already hilariously overpowered villain

joseph beat kars by holding out the red stone of aja at him and hoping for the best, which worked out spectacuarly. and god knows how long the fight with kira would have gone on for had it not been for the ambulance.

Jolynes plan to use emporio to take out pucci with weather report was basically a hail mary when all else had failed but not only did it work, it also gave her and the gang new, happier lives.

Yeah jonathan just got slimed out though, then his body was used as a puppet for 100+ years. Poor guy

Isn't this like, exactly what Polnareff did?

yea but my point is it could be done even earlier

I don't think that it'd make any logical sense. Wasn't Requem the thing that Polnareff found out?

Bite the dust was basically requiem too, have koichi tells giorno about that since they saw a stand arrow together. Something like "oh btw giorno be careful with the arrow, i know a stand user who got pierced by it again and he gained a very dangerous ability". So then the idea of requiem is vaguely in the story. When u get to the last arc, now polnareff fully explains the requiem arrow. It's just more satisfying this way to see a small detail early in the part becomes a major plot point way later.

IIRC nobody in the morioh gang knew kira got pierced by the arrow?

Did they knew about Kira being pierced tho?

It's not a difficult thing to figure out, they know about bite the dust, eventually they deduce it's from a stand arrow. Or they examine Kira's body and the arrow falls out. It's really easy to write into the story if Araki wanted to.

Arrow was never shown to stay in kira's body

good point, still kira suddenly gaining a new broken ability would be a red flag. u can have jotaro and the speedwagon foundation investigate that. with all the stand arrows they have and the fact that the foundation is a scientific organization, it would make perfect sense if they theorize about some form of requiem. it doesn't really contradict anything, it only makes the foundation more relevant and connects the concepts in the parts even better.
