| Dang Rikiel...I thought we were going to get another jobro out of him with all that character development. But I guess it was more like a N'Doul situation where he was just super inspired by Pucci. Jolyne says her winning that fight was dumb luck, but Rikiel implies its destiny and its what Pucci is counting on. This might be the first time where plot armor is actually taken seriously. Kind of scary that the enemies are aware of it. Pretty good fight overall in my opinion. |
 |
| That was horrifying, Jolyne group fighting flying dildos that rob your body heat. |
 |
| If you don't know where to watch it, you don't deserve to watch it. |
| Whoa what an intense fight! Who on earth will set themselves on fire?! That's INSANE. Respect to the enemy, Rikiel. He even had panic attacks, poor man. But the way he fought in the end, how desperate he was, gambling who would die first while hanging on – seemed like he had that "jojo spirit" in him for a moment. |

| I can never take Rikiel seriously in that outfit LOL But despite that he is actually one of the most compelling lesser villains in Part 6 and he leads us to some interesting points that come up later |
| God took the wrong cow |
| Rikiel's stand "Rods" was actually a pretty cool concept. Taking on body heat in order to destroy one's body. But, Jolyne's battle IQ is just so damn high. She keeps getting better at confronting enemies in different ways. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| rods! a strange stand!!! kekeke |
| Kind of a meh episode for me. The final conversation with Rikiel was the highlight imo, cause the fight itself... it's just there. Maybe the fact that I think this is the worst JoJo part so far is affecting my judgement of individual episodes, cause I've felt the same with other fights in this season. Even then, I do think we've seen better fights in the first half. For now, at least. I have to admit tho: setting yourself on fire to keep a fight going is pretty metal. |
| lmao they set themself on fire, pretty metal |

| If only they've given Rikiel more than a single episode, we might have seen a new comrade joining the gang. But well anyways, it was Jolyne who made sure we didn't get any of that. Also damn.. who needs fire suit, right? |
 |
| Stand controlling cryptids, nice! I felt bad for Rikiel. He didn't seem to be genuinely evil. Just lost, with very low self-esteem trying to find his place in the world. Hermes was dumb when she decided to finish him off. He could've provided more informations to Jolyne. |

| Really enjoyed the Rikiel and Sky High fight. The stand is super cool, being able to control a cryptid called Rods and they can do some insane stuff, and thanks to that we got some insane plays from Jolyne, including setting herself on fire lol. The fight seemed a little fast paced but it was still really fun, Rikiel was an interesting character too, I like that he called back to Apollo 11 in regards to his life and what Pucci is doing. It was also revealed that Weather Report is Pucci’s brother, I was not expecting that but very cool. I also liked the last scene with rods, showing that even though Rikiel is done for those things are still out in the world. |

Morpheus1318 said: The rods are based on a real-life phenomenon and cryptid also known as "skyfish". They are small, unidentified flying objects that were eventually discovered to be an optical illusion. Caused by the wingbeats of flying insects, the illusion is only visible on camera and video. Hirohiko Araki remembers seeing a TV show about them, though the name of the show is unknown From the wiki Interesting, thanks for explaining. |
| The creatures the enemy controls feeds on heat, set yourself ablaze! Jolyne displayed the willpower passed down from generations when she made that counter. Knowledge of Weather Report's past gets out. The brother of Pucci...damn... |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| This fight felt short :(. I wanted to see more of Sky High!!! They really named his stand Sky Guy xD! Onto the last brother! |
| Sorry for my english xD! RIP Kentaro Miura :( RIP Akira Toriyama :(  |
| Rikiel be like: Kage Bunshin no Dildo |
 |
| Sky high is sure a weird one with its rods creating illness and taking the body's heat, of course they won and quite quickly |
 |
| I feel pretty bad about Rikiel, the dude just finally stopped having a shitty life and wasn't even evil, he even cared about Jolyne and told her his theory as an advice, super uncalled from Ermes. |
Ariaylor21 said: I didn't really understand this episode. Rods as living organisim is a bit weird. These rods are a reference to a real "flying rods" case. It was a kinda popular topic among conspiracy/supernatural/cryptozoology channels back in times. Some even said they might be an UFO. But apparently it was just a peculiar optic illusion. If you are interested, you can search for "sky fish" or "flying rods". |

| Even being aware of "rods" as a concept, this is another Stand that didn't really make much sense for me. And nor does it make much sense to me that Dio not only had time to spawn Giorno, but that he also managed to spawn another three lackeys that look literally nothing like him. Actually, there's another point: if these three sons of Dio are here, why isn't Giorno being pulled in by fate too? Well, I get why he wouldn't be from an out-of-universe perspective (namely that GER is just so ridiculously overpowered), but in-universe his absence makes little sense. |
| How could Pucci take out Rikiel's disc and take a look at it if he stated before that he no longer has Whitesnake? Also can't wait to see Jolyne's twisted leg and Ermes' rotten arm being back to normal next episode as if nothing happened. |

| When both Rikiel and Jolyne were on fire, I find it very hot. What an epic and heated battle no pun intended.  No amount of rods can beat Jolyne. She is just too hot for him. |

| Rengoku was a JoJo reference all this time |

| A kinda like the cow outfit, it looks good on him. |
 |
| Man the fight felt so rushed |
| هیچوقت بهتر نمیشه |
| Setting yourself on fire. How fucking metal is that! Also, Weather Report is Pucci's brother! |
 |
| DIO has another sons? whatt??? WTF Weather Report is Pucci brother? OMG |
 |
| Cannon says only Giorno is the real son of Dio. Lalala cant hear anything. Also Emporio is for all jobs lol. That man got the cow drip on point!! |
