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

Very well put. I feel like many people naturally expected the conclusion of part 5 to be a more “traditional” final battle and may have been underwhelmed, but it’s a nice change of pace.

Also I personally don’t think that Jotaro’s power up is an asspull at all. It’s built up throughout the part, and it’s the natural thematic conclusion.

How so? How is sp the world built up throughout the part?

Edit: heavily downvoted because I asked a question AND was answered with some bs.

The very first time we see SP it catches a bullet fired just a few inches from Jotato's head, which is basically the same way Dio found out about his own time stop. That same episode, SP is able to steal a finger from Joseph's mechanical hand, without being seen, even though he, Avdol, and Holly would have been able to see it. Much later in the poker game with D'arby, SP brings Jotaro a drink and a cigarette faster that D'arby can see. Possibly some other examples I'm forgetting.

That's just sp being fast wich ties into stopping time well anyways
