All right, I’m actually confused, now…
Didn’t Rubber Soul say that he ate Kakyoin? That’s how he’s
able to assume others' forms, right? And wasn’t that his answer to Jojo #3,
clarifying that he wasn’t actually possessing Kakyoin? So… what’s the deal with
the real Kakyoin showing up with Jojo #2’s entourage? I suppose you could
always say that Rubber Soul was lying selectively. JOJO’s isn’t a show to point
out plot holes with, either, but still... when those plot holes get confusing, they're worth bringing them up.
Anyway, it’s a quibble by degrees, but I wasn’t as
enthralled with this week’s villain as I was with last week’s. Maybe there was
just something how the gold goo gimmick that made it look like Jojo #3 was
alternately being attacked by honey or phlegm. Sure, you still had the constantly
ratcheching tension which made it look like Jojo #3 had no hope of beating this
guy. I guess the release just wasn’t as cathartic because Rubber Soul didn’t
resemble any of my childhood fears the way Devo did.
And maybe I’m a little disappointed that they’re leaving
Singapore so quickly, too. Sure, I have some personal interest in the setting, but
still, it seems like a bit of wasted opportunity. I’ve been to the hotel that
the Stardust Crusaders stayed at, and passed the Merlion many time. Hell, I’ve
even walked down bike paths that were almost exactly like the one Rubber Soul
revealed himself on. So, it still puzzles me that this locale was selected just
to stage a set piece on the cable cars that run from Mount Faber to Sentosa. That's all? Really?
And it shocks me that there wasn’t gag about the stinky ‘King of All Fruit’
- - the durian. Anne winches her nose about a coconut? No, c’mon. Do a little
more research, pal...
Watch "Yellow
Temperance" and decide for yourself, then read my comments on the previous
batch of episodes.
