This Week in Anime - Why JoJo: Stone Ocean Part 2 Is Even Better Than The First

Anyway, I find it funny that the reviewers commented on Part 6's Stands being simpler compared to previous parts, when the final arc is just going to show it's the complete opposite.

Yeah, the lack of a weekly release schedule completely sucks, and it's super weird, seeing as how they've adopted weekly releases for other stuff. I am genuinely puzzled as to why it is they're doing it in binge format. I mean, hell, as it is, I feel like they could potentially get more subscribers on weekly release, but as it is folks can just get a free trial, knock the whole show out, and never pay. But whatever, maybe there's some mad genius in the offices at Netflix HQ that says it's better this way.

much like the reviewer I was enjoying the relative simplicity of this part (tbh Part 5 was my least favorite part of JJBA so far, I hate Gold Experience and King Crimson so much, don't get me started on GE Requiem) so I'm not looking forward to any potential total BS even though we already got a sneak preview at the end of this part.

Also, I know it's JoJo's so I know that rule 1 is "look, I know it's weird, just roll with it" but I just don't understand how Dio was supposed to know this bizarre formula to "get to heaven". Like, I know he's really old and he knew a witch lady, but unless we're gonna get a weird retcon that the effects of the stone mask plus being stuck in his coffin at the bottom of the sea for so long just gave him this knowledge, I don't get it.

Spoiler(?): No, it is never given any actual explanation as to how Dio found out about this entire process. It's one of the few plot points in the series that Araki genuinely never bothered to elaborate on for the sake of plot convenience.
