WTF was the point of him & Jotaro being in Part 5?

They just fucking vanish a few episodes in & never show up again.
FOR WHAT PURPOSE?!

To remember the viewer that this is still Jojo

Araki probably had a larger plan for them but then he forgot.

It's ok
Stone Ocean is next & that goes back to focusing on Jotaro.

Giorno's personality also vanishes alongside them. How peculiar.

Just to remind you that they're still there having adventures, since Jotaro gets reintroduced in Part 6.
Now, the actual plot "hole" (not sure it is one, but it's shit writing) is why the hell did we never see Josuke & Koichi again. The Part 4 cast just got kicked out instead of participating in Part 6 being called by Jotaro.

Remember kids, Jojo's Bizzare Adventure is supposed to be the story following the Joestar bloodline.

They're just some highschool kids, Jotaro wouldn't want to involve them in the dangerous shit that goes on in Part 6 and besides he doesn't really get the opportunity to, shit hits the fan way too fast.

Araki doesn't care about continuity, his shtick is soft resets each part with a reference or two thrown in. And 5 is a much more egregious example than 6, because these characters are hinted at being more involved, especially regarding the whole Dio's son angle which then goes nowhere and Koichi is just left there to tell the audience that Giorno is a totally righteous dude and then fucks off.

Araki makes things up as he goes along. There is no rhyme or reason to 90% of what happens in the series.

People actually read the Jojo backlog instead of just saying RIP when they hear this shit is 130 volumes because Araki mostly enforces the resets.

>Jotaro wouldn't want to involve them in the dangerous shit that goes on in Part 6
But he sends Koichi of all people to stalk Dio's spawn. He's just THAT reliable.

To start as a transition between part 4 and part 5 because this a series tells different stories but is still connected all the way through. You'd know that if you weren't a speedreader.

>They're just some highschool kids
No. They’re grown adults. Part 6 takes place in the year 2012, Part 4 takes place in the year 1999.

THIS

He is very creative but bankrupt when it comes to keeping things consistent.

Just turn of your mind and enjoy Jojo, don't think there is anything more to the series cause some yo tubers try to find deeper meaning in a (then) kid's manga

I wish the fandom acknowledged this instead of desperately trying to fill his plotholes and find excuses, it's honestly one of the most shamelessly inconsistent manga series out there.

It's most likely this.
I think somewhere early in writing VA he wanted to do something with the remaining Crusaders versus DIO's son but (rightly) though it would detract from Buccellati's bizarre adventure to stop Bossu. But some vestiges still remain in Polnareff and Diavolo's history flashbacks.

I don't think Polnareff was ever planned ahead of time.

A better question would be why would you bother making Giorno a son of Dio, only to have it be irrelevant to the plot? Like if this was Giorno Zeppeli's Bizarre Adventure, would anything change? Araki doesn't care, he just comes up with these random ideas, like Bruno being able to taste lies in someone's sweat, an invisible baby, guy who may or may not be an alien, etc. and just throws them into the story without any real plan or expectation of being able to make them relevant later on. I love him.

Polnareff is last minute deus ex machina, nothing else.

The DIO thing was over in 50 days as the Crusaders' biggest adventure... and then Polnareff gets rekt and spends 15 years trying to beat one mafia boss.
Kind of disproportionate.

What I am understanding is that Polnareff's presence in VA is almost purely fanwank that Araki capitulated to. The narrative is driving towards getting the arrow and there has to be a character acting as the third-party to GioGio and Diavolo; there is no reason it has to be Polnareff, Araki could've made an entirely separate character and it would fit. The vagaries surrounding how Silver Chariot has basically no thematic ties to Chariot Requiem outside of visual design pretty much confirm this.

>Jotaro: We gotta find the arrows, I'll check America and Asia, and you handle Africa and Europe.
>Polnareff: Okay my friend, you can count on me!
>15 years later
>Joseph and Jotaro playing nintendo in new york
>Joseph: Hey whatever happened to Polnareff?
>Jotaro: Who?

>Silver Chariot has basically no thematic ties to Chariot Requiem outside of visual design pretty much confirm this.
It's pretty much the same with Gold Experience though, Requiem stands don't seem to have anything to do with the stand's base powers, only the user's intention when they acquire them.

I think Polnareff got reintroduced specifically because a third-party who was hunting down the arrows was needed for the story and Araki just decided that Polnareff was more interesting than some random speedwagon foundation nobody.

It's worse than that. 15 years prior to Golden Wind would have been before the events of Stardust Crusaders even happened. It would also be before Diavolo could have started Passione, or at least before it could have grown big enough for Polnareff to notice.

Giorno's Father was inhabiting Jonathan's body so technically that still applies.

To transition from one part to the next. Sort of a passing of the torch. Heck the last three chapters of part 4 are at the beginning of a volume with the remainder of it being the start of part 5

I fully expect Giorno to play a part in the Finale.
You don't introduce DIO's son & do nothing with him.

Polnareff got completely fucked instead of that Egyptian qt with fat tits he saved and didn't want to put in danger until DIO was destroyed.

IT'S NOT FAIR

And yet he did

No Vampire Jojo

No Morally Dubious Jooo

No Lovably Overconfident Heel-turned Jojo

all we got was a paper sack of a personality with one of the most inconsistent and overpowered stands.

Would've been better If Diavalo was also Dio's son and part 5 happening when giorno is 20, of course part 6 would happen 5 years later too.
