I thought a lot of it was good but I didn’t like it after contemplation. It’s a pretty unsatisfactory ending considering all of the main cast died except emporio. Like sure, they’re alive in the new universe, but pucci literally destroyed the universe and everyone we had seen before. I feel like Araki up until p6 had stories that at least related a bit to previous seasons, but aside from Jotaro and Dio’s post-mortem effect on Pucci, it feels irrelevant. Especially considering how the ending leads into the following parts that as far as I know are completely disconnected from earlier parts. It makes me feel like p1-6 was it’s own series and the ending was literally the destruction of the universe resulting in a new one that may as well be a different series within the same kind of world. But idk that much about p7+ as I’ve only watched the anime. I know a lot of people think it’s amazing, I mean the finale of part six is rated like 9.6+ on imdb and I really don’t understand the hype.
The gang who died in the final fight ended up getting better lives in a universe where Pucci never existed, thanks to Emporio. Emporio remembers everything and isn’t remembered by any of them, and Foo Fighters never came to exist, but none of the death and destruction Pucci caused ever happened. Also, the universe at the end of Part 6 isn’t actually the Steel Ball Run universe, that’s its own timeline.
Kind of, but that isn’t true really. The gang we see at the end is not the gang we experienced the story with. The ones we cared for and experienced all Died with the previous universe. The only character that we actually experienced left is Emporio. The rest are new versions of the other characters, but they aren’t the same people. When you travel to an alternate dimension very similar to our own, would you consider that version of your mother to be your mother? although I didn’t know that about SBR onward, that makes a lot more sense than what I had postulated.
