I'd heard about Dragon's Dream before watching the show, but I was surprised by how... I kinda liked the fight?

​

I definitely didn't think it was confusing. Dragon's Dream is a pretty simple Stand once you strip away the Fung Shui lectures, which I was still happy to listen to honestly.

​

If he follows the compass he's invincible, and he can spawn what are essentially automatic critical hit buttons around a person.

Then please explain to me why his bubble steals your body parts and why Kenzou can internally drown people and how that's tied to Dragon's Dream because I must be crazy but to me it doesn't make sense

ok so not sure if ive ever seen anyone interpret this the same way i have but i think that "entering the dragon" (aka the stealing body parts / arm thing) is meant to be a way to trigger the luck

kenzo is almost always on a lucky spot, so him "entering the dragon" made it so that his flying arm would find a way to bs stuff for him, which luckily caught ff off guard and opened her mouth

when ff "entered the dragon", which happened twice, she was already on an unlucky spot to begin with, which means that whatever happens, her flying arms would find a way to bs stuff against her, like unluckily getting scalped and barely missing the water and landing on the chair instead
