7th Stand User Hong Kong

[Desiderato Chouinard]

Aftersetting a Frenchman on fire and bloodletting him afterwards, Cascada and friends head to Hong Kong harbor to charter a ship that won't put innocent lives at risk when Dio's minions inevitably attack.

There exists an item in this world called a Badge of Honor. This badge is proof of your experience as a gamer. Use it, and it can have all kinds of helpful effects. However, if you save them up for the end of the game, you might be able to unlock some special extras... the choice is yours.

Cascada: Hey Steel, what should I order?

Steel: So you've finally reached the harbor. Now you can properly begin your journey to Cairo. But traveling by sea means there are few opportunities to stock up on supplies. I'd take this chance to buy anything you think you might need later. Why don't you bring a friend?

Cascada: ...not what I asked?

Steel: PRERECORDED MESSAGE

There used to be a restaurant where I grew up that was carhop themed. All the waitresses (and there were only waitresses) moved around on roller skates and wore really short, frilly skirts. I hadn't hit puberty yet so I was more interested in the waiting table that had Pac-Man built into it.

As one might expect, Jotaro is a close range killer. He's fast, hits like a freight train, and has a high crit chance with his basic attack... but the second an enemy steps out of Short range, he might as well be throwing paper airplanes.

Had to keep this wacky shot in. Early in Part 3's run, Star Platinum's powers were pretty ill-defined (remember the whole photo thing?) and included stretching out its fingers to sword length. It goes unremarked upon for the entire rest of the series (though the anime put it in again way later). In 7SU, it serves a valuable role as Jotaro's only M-range attack.

Kakyoin's an interesting party member, with a bunch of status-inflicting skills and some Long-range attacks that keep growing in power. Most bosses are vulnerable to status effects in this game, so he actually can end up saving the day in the right circumstances.

You can ask Steel for your FP rankings at any time. Character-specific events like Kakyoin buying you a present usually increase FP, and you can weight specific party members with certain character-agnostic events.

Due to the Polnareff Incident, I've played more battles with Abdul than anyone else so far. He's a solid mid-range nuker but he also only does fire damage. Still, never a bad choice to walk around with.

Cascada: Can't you use your fortune-telling to cheat at gambling?

Abdul: That would be unethical.

Cascada: More or less unethical than casinos?

Cascada: Huh? Do you like sushi, Abdul?

Cascada: You gonna be alright? Is sushi halal?

Abdul: I appreciate the concern, but I am non-practicing.

Tamago is egg, and in the context of sushi refers to a sort of sweetened omelette; supposedly, the quality of a chef's tamago sushi is the surest indicator of their skill. Ikura is salmon roe. Toro is bluefin tuna belly.

I've been watching a lot of the original Iron Chef lately and I feel like they say "that would go well with rice!" a lot (especially when Chen Kenichi, the Sichuan Sage, son of Chen Kenmin the God of Sichuan Cooking, is on duty), which always strikes me as a slightly silly thing to say. You're telling me this flavorful main dish would go well with the bland staple grain that half the entire world eats? Come on.

Joseph is possibly the best party member in the game. He's got a wide variety of skills for all ranges and a late-game buff that breaks the difficulty curve if you're a very particular kind of sicko. The trade-off is that he takes a fair bit more EXP to level up than the others.

Utah's almost twice as strong as before and summons a second Burns, but The Machine has been honed to a laser's edge from her trials during the Polnareff Incident. A couple of Thunder Beams and the poor bastard doesn't stand a chance.

Utah: ...No. I shouldn't let this get to me. You truly are an excellent Stand user... You should give yourself a pat on the back.

Utah: Not like you can reach it at your size, though...

Cascada: What was that? "Please burn my face off with your Heat Ray, Cascada?"

Utah: But don't get complacent! There are Stand users far stronger than I in Singapore. Make sure to stay alert. I don't care how strong you are... you'll stay away from them if you know what's good for you.

Joseph: Perhaps you could join us? Another Stand-user we could trust would be welcome.

Utah: Heh, I'll think about it. Ask me again once I'm back on the market.

Cascada: I dunno, are you really good enough for us? I've kicked your ass twice now.

Utah: I'll tell ya what: we'll settle the score next time. Winner buys.

Cascada: You're on.

Fighting Utah gets you +1 FP with whoever's in your party at the time. I'm trying to keep everyone pretty even for now, but you readers should sound off in the comments with who of the main five you think should be Cascada's best bud. I'm serious, I need to know this.

Joseph hits Lv12 here from fighting the Bombs and Burns at the pier. I actually make sure to grind up every other member of the party to Lv12 offscreen before we leave the harbor; this gets Cascada up to Lv15.

Anyway, there's one more secret here (well, two, but I'm saving the second one for a Special Occasion later). After getting Kakyoin back in the party to keep FP even, we head to the west side of the map and search behind the pillars.

Turns out Emilio moved so fast because he was riding his Stand Chicken Shack like a chocobo. It is accordingly the fastest enemy we've seen up to now; Boss Fight Polnareff had 190 Speed, but Chicken Shack has 500. Thankfully there are no double turns or anything, it just means that it acts first every round and is really hard to hit.

You can burn a Badge of Honor for a random beneficial effect, but you also need them to activate bonuses between playthroughs, or indeed the ability to even access another playthrough without starting from scratch.

My plan is actually to load an old save that's already beaten the game 3+ times once we hit the end of this one, so no sense hanging onto the Badges, but I probably will anyway just to prove a point. Let's save and load a couple times.

Welcome, dear reader, to Toonami History, a brand-new series of articles that will focus on the history behind many of the great anime that air every weekend on Toonami. My name is Michael Watson (@nubguy), and I will be your intrepid host for the duration of our voyage.

There is a total of 78 tarot cards, which are further categorized into 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana. The Major Arcana represent large karmic and spiritual forces, while the Minor Arcana embody the small challenges and triumphs we face every day. The themes and meanings behind the cards directly influenced the creation of the many stands seen in Stardust Crusaders. For example, looking at the previously mentioned stand, Tower of Gray, based on the tarot card The Tower, we can see that the tarot card had a big impact on the character and his role in the story.

However, after trying all the different foods on the table, they mutually agree that it is actually quite delicious. This leads us to a really valuable lesson when travelling to other countries, which is to leave your expectations at the door and be ready to try something new, often putting yourself out of your comfort zone in the process. It truly is the best way to take in another culture that is foreign to your own. Trying new food like Jotaro and his friends did lead to them finding new and interesting dishes to enjoy. This applies not only to food but to trying new experiences as well.

Rubber Soul, who had disguised himself as Kakyoin, launches his attack against Jotaro in the cable cars that travel through the air. As we see the fight progress, we get to see another historical location that exists in real life.

Another of these stand users turns out to be a falcon named Pet Shop, whose stand Horus, is once again named after the Egyptian god. Iggy and the falcon get into a life or death battle, where Iggy barely manages to escape alive, losing a leg in the process. The stand Pet Shop is a peregrine falcon, and this is for a very specific reason. Falcons and falconry have a long history in Egypt, dating back to the ancient times. There were multiple reasons that the ancient Egyptians bread birds of prey for religious purposes.
