"GOOD!"
-Literally every gambling stand user.

Most intense game of catch ever. And we finally got Jolyne's baseball ora rush in the anime! This was wonderful episode.

Araki knew how good Gambling stands were so he brought them back!

This was a fun gambling episode, as White Snake steals and puts another random stand in another prisoner!

How the heck did he steal so many of these stands??

Marilyn Manson seems like a combination of Osiris' (P3) betting elements, with The Lock's (P4) ability to tap into the affected's guilt (I guess).

People have noticed that Gold Experience and Sex Pistols is a weaker version of Ultimate Kars' ability and Emperor respectively. TBH, I like how Araki improves upon his previous ideas. Giorno and Mista going around their stands' limitations is interesting in my opinion. Although Marilyn Manson isn't a drastic change from the previous similar stands I've mentioned.

The Epic Cherry Scene , what to say . Marilyn Manson's design was my favourite and it looks great in animation . D.P didn't disappoint by faithfully adapting this fight .

I usually hate sports in anime, but this episode and Dorohededoro kept baseball exciting! I didn't know if Jolyne was gonna win or lose this time, but the climax with 1000 baseball assault was so satisfying!

I wonder what Pucchi's end goal is? Maybe he wants to revive Dio again.

Why did Hermes get her liver back when Jolyne revealed she didn't agree on who had to catch the ball? Shouldn't Hermes get her liver back when Jolyne completes 1000 catches or the Miraschon dies?

🍒*Kakyoin flashbacks*

Damn, Foo Fighters too is goofily cute with the inhuman behaviour. Controlling the water to expand the inmate's cheeks to the point of bursting and drinking the same water she spat out..

Oh, a gambler. D'Arby all over again. Damn the liver, that's pretty brutal (classic JoJo). When they are tempted by money, Ermes behaved irrationally, no way they could reach 100 without the help of their stands by sundown.

Miraschon failing to attention to what Jolyne's bet clearly was (1000 throws, nothing more, nothing less) is her downfall. And yet Jolyne puts on that ruse with Foo Fighters of having her catch the ball too to convince Miraschon. This genius is truly Jotaro's daughter.

I love FF her stand ability will definitely be useful unlike Stickers hopefully I’m proven wrong though. Miraschon was pretty dumb and useless but it did like her stand. Kakyoin could strip 5 cherries at once *lick lick lick* 🍒

Ermes got screwed because she THINKS she failed to catch the ball. If she felt that what she did was fair, like Jolyne, she would be fine

With all respect Araki-sensei, could had chosen a better name for Jolyne STAND. We just had again someone with a awesome STAND name and probably wont appear again.


I agree.this tand was too awesome for a single episode.

Ah, some typical Jojo's cheating for this episode's fight. If this stupidly-named Mary Lynn Manson stand is omnipotent enough to know when someone has broken the rules of a wager with Miraschon to collect their debt (as happened to Ermes, when Miraschon did not know for definite that the rules were broken), then it should've also known about that little "loophole" Jolyne pointed out about the catcher not being agreed upon and hence not attacked her to collect a debt.

Miraschon is one of the cutest chicks we've seen so far in the show, but despite her beauty, her bad habit is downright vile. Vile enough to warrant her getting absolutely pummeled by a thousand baseball impact, fuck yea! When it comes to games with rules, the rule better be concrete or else Jojo will find a way out of the predicament.

That's a good point I was going to say because Marilyn agreed Miraschon got it wrong but it wasn't that, I guess it was just a mistake on the order of events, like you said, they should have gotten Start Platinum's disc and Jolyne's organs back, then defeat Miraschon and finally the scene of Hermes getting her liver back.

I missed the detail about Jolyne's bet being on performing 1000 throws without any other conditions attached. Still, she could've simply beaten up Miraschon while the elevator was going up isntead of waiting to make a dramatic reveal. Now that they obtained her memory disc they should discover Pucci's identity unless there will be some mental gymnastics to justify them not doing so.

Big lesson from this episode. Don't ever lose a bet. The consequences are brutal.

Miraschon's stand, Marilyn Manson is here to collect her debt. Don't bet something that you know you can't win. Her stand will take anything off you that is worthy of value such as your organs. That is no bueno.

I love how this started from betting $100 on catching a baseball 100 times to betting $1000 for catching 100 times again.

It backfired for Miraschon as her face gets pummeled by a baseball 1000 times by Stone Free's magnificent barrage of stringed pitches.

Never mind, so Pucci is a normal Stand user. I thought Pale Snake was an independent Stand like FF. I wonder what his history is with the Joestars. Is he also one of Dio's henchmen like Johngalli A.?
That was the most high-stakes and tension-filled game of catch I've ever seen, lol.
How Marilyn Manson worked reminded me of nen powers from Hunter x Hunter with its rules and absolute resolution.

Why did Hermes get her liver back when Jolyne revealed she didn't agree on who had to catch the ball? Shouldn't Hermes get her liver back when Jolyne completes 1000 catches or the Miraschon dies?
Fun episode, but I agree it has some plotholes.

1. Why was Ermes using her stand ability to catch the ball a violation of the rules, but Jolyne/F.F wasn't?
2. Why was Ermes Liver returned before the 1000 catches was up?
3. Why does hitting someone in the face with the ball count as a catch. When the lights were off and F.F. was hit in the face with the ball, she still required to catch it with her hand
And I'm sure there's one more.

Fun episode anyways as Im ignoring the logic a small bit.

I do feel like Jolyne did a complete 180. She was very stupid and different in the first few eps, now she's calm and intelligent like her dad.

First semi-weak episode with a lot of plot holes (already mentioned above) and annoying dumbing down of characters just to move a plot forward. Usual Araki narrative sloppiness, alas. And here I hoped he adopted more mature and responsible approach to storytelling. Well, let's hope this doesn't stick.
