What are the odds that the team comes out worse after this act?
As we all know for this entire act the group has been under attack and we also know the government has been monitoring them for some time and had a time to make a good plan. So they obviously have the deck stacked against them and while we’ve seen that in Jojo plenty of times before (both literally and metaphorically) I can’t help but feel that this time is different, especially considering how well they came out of the first act.
We’ve finally seen their first offensive move of this act with Charming Man infiltrating the strike team very quickly but that doesn’t guarantee a victory. The team is trapped in the middle of the Ocean, has been located by John Rod, and have their identities known. Can they ever even go back to their normal lives at this point?
My guess is that they will need to come to the negotiating table or they will pay a heavy toll to get their hands on the lava rock.
There’s a lot of times in Jojo where it feels like it’s over but this really is one of them, it feels almost akin to Made In Heaven. Also with the length of the two previous parts we can probably assume we’re not even halfway done and unless were getting a big time skip or Jodio becoming President of the United States, I feel we’re in store for a big loss/regression.
As a side note, will the rock be able to interact with stands in any way?
