I disagree, the SO ending was awful in every aspect.

The supposed character development felt very forced, especially when it comes to Jotaro who was barely in the part at all to have basis for the character development.

What the SO ending did was essentially rewrite the timeline (albeit in a similar fassion but who knows what changed)... so what it is purporting is that I just read something that didn't really matter. If none of the events that took place in any of the parts were relevant to the reality that existed at the end of the series, then what is the purpose for there existence in the first place?

Not to mention the fact that Enrico lost is extremely strange, when it seems that he is much more powerful than every other stand in the series up to that point (with the exception of GER). It was bs the way that Emporio just gained a stand through accident becuase he just needed to win. I also don't like the concept of destiny in Jojo. Some stories use it well, such as the Odyssey, but in Jojo it feels like a cheap trick (wow that's appropriate) that exists becuase the heroes need to beat the overpowered antagonist.

I suppose the ending was a tragedy but it certainly was not a good tragedy, as in the end all of their souls exist in other forms regardless and the enemy is beaten. That ruins the tragedy becuase the tension you recieved in the final story arc of the part is reversed becuase they won anyway. It just isn't as good as other tragedies.

Overrall, the Stone Ocean ending is very underwhelming, and an underserved ending for the series in general. Thank you for understanding, and good day.
