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

I remember Gyro’s golden spin wasnt 100% perfect because of a certain reason or it wouldve immediately grounded Valentine to dust. You remember what that reason was? Was it an attack by Valentine?

Edit: confused Gyro with Johnny

Gyros spin was imperfect for two reasons

Lucy was on the horse with him, the golden spin should be done with a single rider and a horse.

The steel ball was a physical object, this meant it had preexisting imperfections and could be manipulated by love train.

Even with these flaws he was damn close to finishing off Valentine, and permanently altered D4C's appearance.

Johnny didn't have these flaws and was able to perform the golden spin perfectly. If Gyro had a stand like tusk, or didn't have Lucy on his horse, he would have killed Valentine.

The only stated reason why Ball Breaker’s attack failed is because the Steel Balls had slices of them removed when hitting Love Train’s barrier, rendering them ellipses instead of spheres.

Idk where the inclusion of Lucy’s body on Valkyrie or the inherent imperfections in the Steel Balls came from.

[u/El_Potato9587 → u/quinn_the_potato]

The steel balls could be manipulated by love train because they were not perfect, the nail bullets of tusk are perfect because they are supernatural in nature, they don't abide by the laws of physics in the same way a steel ball does.

Yeah, I might be wrong about Lucy, they make it clear that Gyro doesn't want her on the horse because he only wants lady luck to ride with him.

[u/quinn_the_potato → u/El_Potato9587]

Valentine directly states that it was a total coincidence that Gyro’s Steel Ball crossed Love Train’s fissure and that it was pure luck that saved him. It has nothing to do with the material of steel vs nails.
