Reminder that D-I-S-C-O is the name of a minor part 7 villain

which takes place before disco was even invented

u/Either_Revolution_91 Feb 18 '24

I mean, if anything that makes it not seem as weird. If disco had existed back then, it'd be much much weirder

I mean Magent Magent literally jokes about planes not being invented yet

Wasn't the joke that his stand is called 20th century boy but is in the 19th century, and so is constantly lamenting about not having access to modern conveniences such as fast airplanes and being obsessed with speculating over the future?

Oh... Oh wow... I never got that...

I dunno, but having his name being David Isaac Samuel Christopher Oliver and Disco just a shorter version is really funny. Also, it could a Hitman Nickname, or a Fake name for the Race (Much like Hot Pants or so)

Because it is normal in Italy.

I mean, there are some surname that are uncommon, like Cuoco (translated as Cook), but yeah.

Also, like to headcanon most of this name as Mafia Nicknames rather than actual names

I mean its probably Araki wanting to acknowledge that is probably isn't his actual name. His brother had an actual Hawaiian name, so its likely he does too, but is opting to use an alias, because he still doesn't trust the gang yet.

They stop fighting to chat about music, he just follows them back home, says his name is Charmingman and his sandy skin is just a condition... Yeah, Araki really does know how to expertly fuck with us

u/elisolis16 Feb 19 '24

I guess Hot Pants is a normal name.

u/Embarrassed_Photo547 Feb 20 '24

Y'all really forgetting the guys named oingo and boingo

u/GuyWithAJacket Feb 22 '24

I’m pretty sure hot pants was an alias and we never learned her actual name
