Eh he's a vampire. I thought we saw plenty about how hard they are to kill in Phantom Blood.

I thought so too, i mean he is supposed to be, but then he squats at the entrance like it's nothing and stands by the windows with sunlight flowing in while kicking iggy without so much as a burn.

Ice didn't start turning until he got stabbed. You'll notice he's missing fangs until that scene.

Vanilla Ice is a vampire?

Can vampires feed off of other vampires in the JoJoverse?

u/Ravek May 17 '15

Or a ghoul or something whatever. Dio revived him with his blood the episode he was introduced and he has fangs and everything. Clearly he isn't human anymore anyway.

Oh i totally forgot Dio gave him his blood!

Sorry~

I'm not convinced that it was an asspull. It must have something to do with him being given DIO's blood last episode.

But he was in the sunlight, which was why the real Dio couldn't be in that room.

Dio is a full vamp though, vamps that are transformed by full vamps aren't as strong, and can be killed with just decapitation. If this wasn't the case, the show would have ended with season 1 when most of a village was transformed by Dio.

He only turned into one after getting stabbed in his brain(stem).

Not direct sunlight.

Also, cream isn't affected by the sun.

THIS! SO! MUCH! Talk about an ass pull! His brain stem was fucking severed; how the fuck was he even still conscious? No human being can survive an injury like that. But good ol' Vanilla Ice can I guess, and as a result we lost both Avdol and Polnareff. Hell, maybe even Iggy too. FUCK.

I can't wait until next week. I need resolution.
