Homelander is really off his rockers this season, man. Yes, he was insane from Season 1, but he wasn’t this paranoid. Even the slightest mistakes make him paranoid about betrayal like, wtf dude? And his god complex has just gotten worse. He wants people to be devoted to him, but of course he doesn’t understand the basics of a relationship.

It was good to hear Billy again the accent 😭 is still fire. He is also losing it, finally killing his father. Kimiko can talk now, but she deadass sounds like a Shorts creator lol. Starlight might be doing overtime this season. Episode 1 was really action-packed compared to the other seasons.

And finally, Reggie the GOAT I was expecting him to die early, but not this early. I won’t say his end was unsatisfactory though. He went out by saying everything everyone wants to say to Homelander’s face. He conquered his fear and died trying not to repeat his past mistakes. And UE, lad, try to understand it was about the mission. Killing Omelanda is the top priority. Frenchie needed to go first.

The satire is good as always lol. Like, is Firecracker really that stupid?? Why was she talking about uncanny valley in the middle of political damage control 😭😂

We also get a glimpse of Ashley’s powers, and through them, we see Homelander’s paranoia even more.

Loved this episode.

I think its safe to say he's earned the right of having the title of the best live-action redemption arc. It was a slow, natural, realistic change. It didn't feel rushed whatsoever. He wasn't just easily forgiven, he actually worked to change. The moment the kid smiled at him, giving him the joy of being a true hero.

And in season 5 >!he got the scene of closure with his brother, having kept his family safe the entire time. Got a final scene with The Deep. Managed to save The Boys from Homelander. And dodged the women, bringing his arc full circle from the first episode. He even laughed in Homelander's face and made him cry.!<

A-Goat ladies and gentlemen.

SONG: STAR PLATINUM

I Finished Part 5 (Ep 29–39)

Firstly, RIP Narancia and Bruno. Narancia was like the heart of the group. I really liked his character. He was pretty fun, but I guess the story wouldn’t be as impactful if everyone survived. It also makes sense for Diavolo to take him out first. Giorno’s line to him, “No one will hurt you now,” had me in tears.

Bruno was Bruno to the end, one of the most GOATED Jobros of all time. He was truly a leader. Even the last trick to fuck up Diavolo was done by him. I didn’t feel that sad about his death because the series was hinting that it was inevitable. Another reason is that he fulfilled his purpose of helping Giorno till the very end. Such a great guy, on the same level as Avdol, who would do anything for his friends.

Now, coming to the final Stand users before Diavolo, Secco and Cioccolata. What can I say? They were diabolical, to say the least. Secco was a victim, but Cioccolata, man, that guy is insane. I genuinely thought Bruno was going to die before the final battle. Cioccolata is completely evil. Besides being really disturbing and having a fitting Stand ability, he doesn’t have much going for him though. Both he and Secco got what they deserved, truly one of the most satisfying beatdowns.

Polnareff was kind of done dirty, but again, what could he have possibly done against Diavolo? Contacting Jotaro, considering Passione’s influence, would have been risky for him. His fading thoughts were of his friends and the time they spent in Egypt, haha, that brought a tear to my eyes. Glad he kind of survived.

Now, the boss, King Crimson. His impact was present throughout the show, but when he finally reveals himself, things get even more difficult for the Golden Wind crew. Because of Diavolo’s mistake of forcing Polnareff to activate Requiem, things spiral out of control. Diavolo’s design and powers were awesome, and he was pretty menacing throughout the show, but we didn’t really get an actual fight between him and Giorno. The finale was more of a chase, which is fitting, I guess, considering the crew was running around the whole season from location to location.

I also liked how all of the characters played major roles in the fight. Unlike previous seasons, where most of the work is done by the main JoJo, everyone had an equal contribution this time. Still, a proper battle between Giorno and Diavolo would have been better. I might be biased, but Jotaro vs DIO is still my favorite JoJo finale.

One last complaint, it would have been better if we got to see how Giorno is handling things afterward, Fugo’s reaction to all this, and wherever Trish is now, like in Battle Tendency, where they give a little closure to everyone.

Also, Diavolo getting infinitely trapped for finite crimes was a bit too much.

Overall, this part was amazing, filled with creative Stand abilities and an awesome story about doing the right thing.
