If that's the case, maybe Anubis could control Jotaro after piercing his body with his blade too. Too bad for him he didn't thought about it.

Anyway, it's strange how Anubis got destroyed by Jotaro's punch, he could have protected his blade from the ORAORAORAORA with his Dimensional Bypass, exit Jotaro's guts without further harming them, and then counter attack and pierce deeply. The same goes for Polnaref, maybe he could have bypass his sword and make him a see of blood. But maybe the Bypass don't work on stands ? This way, Anubis would have been destroyed even by that.

It was foolish / daredevil from him to go to the kill again too. In his sorry shortened state, wit his tsukumogami still alive, he could have been considered 'suriage' and made into a wakizashi and come another time for revenge (a wakizashi is better for murders anyway). I don't think Dio would have been angry after he failed and became like that, even if he's a jerk. ^^'

We could have both a great tragedy, with Anubis-shin onslaught in the ranks of Joestar family, or a manly reconciliation, as he really fought like a samurai for his lord and being beheaded didn't stopped him. It was truely a magnificent Yôtô 妖刀 katana, even though the author made a joke out of him and his death. Sadly, the sole really good Yôtô story in manga, until now, was Shigurui.

Araki-senseï never really respected japanese traditional culture (just like Tezuka and a lot of other mangakas) in the first place, but this one was clearly unjust, if you ask me.
