[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure] The worst thing about Part 5, for me, is how you can just ignore it.

Yes, ignoring it.

What would even change in your perception of the story if Part 5 never happened? Every part (at least from 1 to 6 excluding 5) gives their little bit of contribution for the next one, but Part 5? What will you lose?

Requiem? So freaking broken and random that Araki never used it again.

Characters? Several of them are memorable, but their actions don't change absolutely nothing in the main story. Even more, characters like Polnareff got its outcome to be quite...terrible, but also Jotaro having the help of the Speedwagon Foundation, couldn't have helped Polnareff in some way, or even care about him?

Details such as Diavolo selling the arrows to Enyaba are good, but things could continue exactly the same if they just said that Enyaba found the arrows.

I know, Part 5 can be enjoyable, but the thing is...it deserves to be considered a "Part"?

For me, it's more like "The Adventure of DIO's son" more than deserving the spotlight of being a part.

I never liked Part 5 much, but I can value it's content in a story-importance way, and by doing that, I reach this conclusion.

On Part 6, Giorno, even if being a son of DIO, he doesn't make any type of appearance, only hinting in the manga that "he might already be in Florida", but that's it, and, on the Part 6 anime, the only thing that I can remember to be related to Part 5 is Pucci having Diavolo's theme in a sequence where he is mad.

Now, I must say, skipping Part 5 grants losing some quality time, good fights and shenanigans, but what I want to show is my own apathy towards this Part, being absolutely skippable.

This is my opinion, and I wanted to share it, if there is something wrong please correct me, thank you!
