I’m getting glimpses on why the manga is highly acclaimed. This is still largely at a stage where Araki is trying to not to show Stands. In fact, this is the first episode where Stands are explicitly hinted at. The abilities are utterly unique. The Boomboom family feels like episodic villains but they’re well written and it’s easy for the viewer to hate them.

Mountain Tim’s ability would be familiar to Part 5 watchers, and he’s showing his badassery when he tried to apprehend “Johnny”. They have no idea that they’re being set up to go… boom.

Just realized what Gyro’s belt buckle exactly means, lol.
