Do you guys think it’s fair that when Dio punched a hole through Kakyoin, he dies, but when Kira does that to Koichi, he lives? That’s not fair, that’s bullshit. Why was Kakyoin treated so badly!
Even though Koichi was a total badass and played with Kira’s mind. But still…
So Kira is having the absolute worst time of his life. He has people chasing after him, he embarrasses himself in front of complete strangers, he gets beat up by losers, he has to reveal himself to the people chasing after him, he gets the shit beat out of him by a hot marine biologist, he cuts off his own hand, and he is now living under a new identity. And all he wanted was a quiet life. :/
Echoes Act 3 informs Koichi that his range is only 5 meters. Also, with Freeze in motion, Sheer Heart Attack will get heavier the closer he gets to it, and less heavy the farther he gets away. Koichi probably should have gotten closer to Sheer Heart Attack when Kira got there until Josuke and Okuyasu got there. But he didn’t, and he sent out Echoes to attack, but Killer Queen was stronger and the blows blew him back, which caused Sheer Heart Attack to be freed.
Koichi made a lot of mistakes in these two episodes, but what Jotaro said later on was true. He really has matured. Even though he was stupid and didn’t listen to Jotaro before because he’s young and young people are stupid, and the fact that he was freaking out before, he really did show the strong and capable side of himself. While Kira brutally beat Koichi to a pulp, he was smart enough to grab his wallet and take a look at his name, his address, and knowing what his Stand was, he basically knew all he needed to know to track him down. Unfortunately that becomes null later on. Also, getting into his mind with saying things like a kid like him was able to one up him was brilliant, as it really brought a sense of defeat on Kira. That also stalled time for Jotaro to wake up and Josuke and Oku to arrive. He’s so cool!
Also Jotaro being iconic, as usual.
The pursuit of Kira has gotten even more difficult and complicated now. After Josuke and Okuyasu arrive and heal both Jotaro and Koichi, Kira screws up immediately. He pretends to act like he was caught in the explosion of the shoe store, but he asks Josuke to hurry up and fix him, and that’s his downfall. Ruining his cover, he acts quick and chops off his left hand and sends out Sheer Heart Attack again to attack the boys while he scrambles away. Jotaro warns Josuke of Sheer Heart Attack, but Josuke uses Crazy Diamond to “fix” it. And just like with Okuyasu’s arm when it was ripped off by Chili Pepper, Kira’s severed hand starts…floating, and follows in the direction in where Kira went off to and the boys follow suit.
Ayaaaa…Fairy Godmother! The hand leads them to the Cinderella Salon and when they step inside, they see Kira’s clothes on the floor, blood everywhere, and Aya’s body on the ground, with another man sitting beside her. Aya explains that Kira had come in with that man and killed him right in front of her eyes, and he forced her to use her Cinderella to change his face to the man’s that he killed, and he ran off. Josuke was about to heal Aya until Jotaro stopped him, and her body exploded. ;_; They notice Kira’s hand still moving and they follow it out the back door, but they’re at a loss because there’s crowds of people walking around everywhere. Kira used the time to his advantage as it was the evening, when everyone would return home from work. Right when they were close to capturing him, they completely lost him.
And just like Jotaro said, Kira is still in Morioh. He’s going to live his life under a new name, a new face, a new life, quietly and peacefully in the town he loves.
This is an exciting turn of events, and this is only going to make things harder for our Stand Squad. How on earth are they going to be able to find him when he has a completely new face? They’re back to square one now. Kira Yoshikage, his home address, none of that matters anymore. Right when they had him at the tips of their fingers, he slips away. And so the chase continues.
(Haha, chase. Get it?)
Love how the anime is going so far, can’t wait to see the later parts animated soon!
