And Araki really wanted Kira to lose more than anything. Like Jotaro literally came back from the dead to punch Kira. And the final fight was scraping the bottom of the barrel for things that Josuke could do. Like lmao he fixed his blood. Kira could’ve used Bites the Dust earlier but he instead chose to chase Josuke and Echoes 3 freeze at the end was really infuriating. Kira had it pretty tough. Half of those aren't even asspulls.

1. Josuke's power doesn't fix things, it restores them to a state that Josuke chooses, and they don't even have to be reconstructed properly if he so desires. None of the instances where he uses it break those rules. Thus, not an asspull.

2. Not fixing Kira's coat button isn't an asspull, either, that's a plothole.

3. Jotaro wasn't dead. Not an asspull.

4. Josuke was always shown to be able to restore blood, what the fuck are you on about? Not an asspull.

5. Bites the Dust requires a Standless target who knows Kira's name to come in contact with him before it can even be activated. Hayato ran off and no one was nearby, so he couldn't have done that. Again, NOT AN ASSPULL.

Some of these are valid criticisms, but learn the definition of an asspull before blindly throwing the word around. While I agree with the first three, Josuke actually smeared blood on the heart-shaped glass and threw it so that it would return to some more of his blood on Kira’s coat. He’d bled all over the street they were fighting in a while back. Why did it specifically return to the blood on Kira’s coat? And what about the panty guy Kira killed? Couldn’t he have used bites the dust on him? I'm pretty sure we already clarified that Josuke can choose which part of an object he's restoring returns to which other part. He can probably omit restoring certain aspects of it if he wants.
