Silver Chariot Requiem/Chariot Requiem


Is an automated Stand that follows its late User's objective of protecting the Arrow at all costs. It doesn't show any combat ability, yet can be considered one of the most dangerous Stands ever featured in the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, due to its mastery over souls.

Passive Ability:
Soul Manipulation: It can make a entire city fall asleep. Along with that your soul/conscience will be transfer to the nearest person/organism near you. Ex: You fall asleep next to a dog for atleast 7hrs and you woke up with a body of a dog. Simple right?

Regeneration: Chariot Requiem is particularly resilient as it's able to reattach detached limbs

Stand Manipulation: You have a stand? Trying using it on him. See what happen.

Alternating Life: A Complete metamorphosis of every organism in the biosphere, both in body and soul, into completely new and absolutely unknown entities. It basically forcing metamorphosis to every living organism in with scale area. Ex: You have a good functional head/arm/fingers? Have another one!

Also its fast...EVERY FAST

Active Ability:
Unknown - because we never seen it fight back


NOW MY BIGGEST QUESTION IS?
Is it enough to beat Dio(JoJo 3 Boss)



And my answer is no

The world is a Stand that can be simply explained:

Its super fast
Its super strong
and it can stop time
also the user is a vampire so no sleeping

Even if a stand can break the evolution genepool a vampire is an exception.

In my opinion, the whole series is great. Nearly as good as Part 4. Giorno is a well-written character, and from the beginnings, we have a chance to meet Bucciarati's crew that Giorno has came. The crew consist of Bucciarati [image error] Fugo [image error] Abbacchio [image error] Narancia [image error] Mista [image error] and Giorno [image error] Each of them has "Stands". A Stand is an entity psychically generated by its owner, referred to as a Stand User. It generally presents itself as a figure hovering over or near the user and possesses abilities beyond that of an ordinary human, which, depending on the Stand User, can be wielded for good or evil. Each Stand possesses a unique power that defines it and sets it apart from other Stands. Usually, Stand and its owner share wounds. For example, Mista's Stand "Sex Pistols" is a revolver with six little ghosts that are fired with bullets and can change their flight trajectory. If anyone of that ghosts would be wounded, stand owner Mista would claim 1/6 wounds. Bucciarati crew are in mafia that is called "Passione". Giorno joins the Mafia because he wants to stop spreading drugs in his hometown, to do this he has to kill Mafia's boss. His identity is unknown. Series is easy to watch.
Main evil-character Diavolo is also great giving him one of the most powerful stands in whole series is a great move. One thing as always is that action is " peaking". I mean in first half of tomes it was introduction and at the end of series action is suspenful. Death of characters are emotional that we feel we don't want him to die. Also ending is one of best endings among all parts. Stands on this part have also interesting abilities. I think this is best part of all. At the end for curious one i can write whole story: Nearly after Bucciarati becomes "Caporegime" in brief "Capo".
He became a boss for others, but a subordinate to the chief boss. Bucciarati replaced Polpo, who was killed by Giorno during his initiation.
Bucciaretti gets an order from the boss to escort his daughter to him. Giorno finds out this may be his first and last chance to discover boss's identity. Daughter is named Thrish. In the place where he was told to go to hand it over to the boss. with thrish, only one of the bodyguards was Bucciarati. the boss kidnapped thrish and tried to kill her in the basement. to Bucciaratti's surprise, the kidnapping took place in an elevator and Bucciarati didn't notice anything, but after a small breach in the ceiling, he realized where the boss was going and followed him. In the basement, Bucciarati discovers that Boss's Stand "King Crimson" The first ability allows King Crimson to erase time up to ten seconds. When this ability is active King Crimson can't attack his opponent, but he can move to an enemy blind spots and then use the destructive ability to kill them. The second ability is called Epitaph. Epitaph lets the Boss predict what is going to happen in the future and thus, he can plan accordingly to his advantage. Bucciarati managed to escape with half lets say half of his life
Giorno starts looking for him and finds his body laying on a floor without life. Giorno heals Bucciaratti with his stand Golden Expierience [image error] , but how it is later said that Giorno breathed a piece of life into him and bucciarati became undead but looking like a normal human being. They decide to betray their boss and discover his identity to be able to kill him undercover. Bucciaratti's crew with Abbaccio's Stand "Moody Blues" manage to get print in stone of boss face. The price they paid was Abbaccio's life that was killed by King Crimson. They put into the computer his face scan. After that, a Polnareff who is a character from another part, says that he knows a way to defeat Diavolo (Name of the Boss). But he can tell them only when they visit him in Rome. They got to Rome and he told them about Reqiuem Arrow which can empower Stands to their Requiem form. Reqiuem Stands possess abilities far above ordinary Stands. Giorno fights with Diavolo for an arrow stand. Giorno manages to get arrow and pierce himself with it and evolving his Golden Reqiuem into Golden Expierience Reqiuem. [image error] And menaged to defeat Diavolo in his erased time realm that King Crimson makes. What i can say, its worth to watch previous parts or only this one [image error] :D

Tomo agotador, desesperante y atrapante como pocos. Bah, qué digo como pocos. Como tantos otros de esta serie. Bah, qué digo de esta serie: como cualquier cosa que hace este autor. Pero, eso sí, aunque Vento Aureo tiene unos tomos medio meseta, para el final Araki supo cómo redimirse a lo grande.

Aaaand this is the point where Vento Aureo lost me. I thought I was finally going to be able to get through a part of Jojo without rating a volume 2 stars. We came so close, but this book just lost me.

I get the sense that Araki was trying to build up another dire situation, as the final battles for parts 3 and 4 were. Moments where the villain is completely in control of the very fabric of reality as the heroes desperately flail around trying to turn the tables. But that isn't really what's going on here.

To some extent, Jojo has likely always been a stream of consciousness where Araki makes stuff up as he goes along. I sense that most manga is. But never has that felt more true for Jojo. It starts out promising enough, with Diavolo closing in on Polnareff with a fantastic reveal. Buccelliati's body is failing, the rest of the gang is ignorant to what's going on. Then boom. Polnareff uses the stand arrow on himself. Who knows what's going to happen next.

What happens is some corny body swapping antics. Polnareff is a turtle. Then Silver Chariot Requiem gets a mind of its own and starts walking away with the arrow. And if you touch the arrow your stand will attack you. But wait, Narancia died somehow, but before we can begin to understand that Giorno's soul re-enters his body for some reason. Then people turn into body horror. Then it turns out Diavolo was in somebody else's body the whole time. Then it turns out that Silver Chariot Requiem couldn't be touched because *checks notes*... the lights from people's souls did...something?

It's turns into this sloppy stream of consciousness where one idea does not logically lead into the next. You can't see anything coming and each new reveal is not grounded in any sort of underlying logic and fails to stand up to the most basic scrutiny. The only way you can engage with the story is if you just accept every new twist at face value without thinking about it. And your reward for overcoming that considerable barrier of entry is... an not so terribly exciting or interesting "battle".

Worst of all, Narancia just fucking dies. So, Diavolo can't touch people when he erases time, right? He can just move into a convenient position? So that means the gang had to just somehow miss King Crimson chucking Narancia onto the broken gate even though they were all right next to each other. And then we don't even get time to process this sudden death, because suddenly Giorno's soul is inexplicably re-entering his body and the wounds are magically being transferred to Narancia's body. So before it has even sunk in that Narancia's dead, we're having all of this nonsense thrown in our face. So my thought process was "Ah shit, Giorno can't heal Naranc- hey wait a minute how is Giorno's soul re-entering his body? And now that I think about it, how can Polnareff switch his soul with the turtle if he's already dead?" So my favorite character dies and I don't even get to complete that thought because there's too much contrived fantastical bullshit being thrown in my face.

Jojo's has always been off the wall and ridiculous and had some asspulls thrown in. But most of the time, there was some sort of underlying logic to everything. You could question it's plausibility, sure, but you can usually at least see some kind of logical throughline. But here, it's just this constant stream of contrivance after contrivance. It felt like with each chapter I was being asked to just trust the book that what I'm seeing somehow makes sense. And this is your climax for the past 15 volumes? This is what we've been building towards?

This volume is a clusterfuck with the death of Part 5's best character thoughtlessly thrown into the middle of it all.

Memes in this volume:










Turtlenareff emerges


Was Giorno's earlier comment foreshadowing of this moment?


In the anime Narancia said he wouldn't mind Fugo calling him dumb once he saw him again :(




Goodbye, other best boi :(

[Dani Wladdimiro · Rating 4 out of 5]

Uno de mis principales miedos era complejizar la batalla, debido que el poder de Diavolo es tan poderoso que no exista manera de contrarrestarlo más que usar muchas situaciones surreales. Eso hizo que todo lo épico de este volumen, haya decaído un poco, porque tratan de llevarlo tan al extremo que decae en la ejecución. Todo lo que respecta al Requiem, la fecha, los cambios, la tensión, hace que se vuelva agotadora en cierto momento. Aún así, maneja muy bien la tensión, sintiendo la caída de los personajes, aunque no haya sentido tan fuerte la muerte de otro integrante como si me pasó en el volumen anterior.

UGH. REQUIEM IS SO COOL HELLO. the soul swapping. AMAZING. GREAT. we have also now seen bruno in diavalo's body than diavalo in diavalo's body BUT FUCK IT. HES BACK! and everyone is here! right..... right? ... bro narancia's death is so sad because it literally just comes out of no where and there is almost no time to react and i think these chapters really REALLY made me love mista because he cared so much for narancia and he got so upset at the idea the boss's soul was inside him because he couldn't bare the idea that he caused narancia's death. UGH. MISTA.

BUT POLANREFF TURTLE IS ALIVE AND WELL. HES BACK. MY GOAT NEVER DIES. YIPEE

3 estrellas.

Estoy que me como las uñas de los nervios.

Estamos ya en el último acto de la parte 5 de Jojos. Todo me parece dar un conflicto interno, no se como sentirme en realidad.

Están pasando muchas cosas y los sentimientos parecen estar a flor de piel en todos los sentidos. A pesar de que muchas cosas ya las sé.
