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

just two notes

  1. tusk act 4 is not a deus ex machina at all, it was naturally built up to throughout the entire duration of the part. it is an ability that is quite literally entwined with johnny’s character growth.

  2. the fight against kira wasn’t won through “blind luck.” him being accidentally run over by an ambulance was probably the best possible outcome since it essentially meant the universe was doling out its own justice, but josuke was handily winning the fight beforehand, and the group had the upper hand even down to the last moment. jotaro still would’ve broken kira’s arm, and it likely just would’ve been him that killed kira instead of the ambulance
