#What did Caesar accomplish?

nothing
He made bubbles I think that was it
Nothing else
He was kind of a friend of joseph?
I was just so confused rewatching battle tendency bc he left wamuus ring in a bubble for Joseph, which even if wamuu did pop he would have gotten from fighting wamuu anyway
the only meaningful thing Ceasar did was have a good death scene
That’s it yeah
he didn't really do much tbh
but his accomplishments aren't everything to his character
he was a great partner to joseph and helped him grow
he was a nice contrast to joseph
eventhough they were both operating on the same singular brain cell
well he did save joseph from falling to his death when they used the icicles to make a rope when joseph and kars were falling down the cliff
lisa lisa was also almost completely useless in fights (mostly because araki's editors didn't want her doing too much)
but that doesn't mean she's a bad character or anything
hamon boost to Joseph
Both hamon boost and motivation boost
not to mention Caesar's headband saved Joseph against Wamuu
directly leading to Wamuu's defeat
Here's the real answer though:
Caesar's death tugged the hearts of viewers, and demonstrated the very real threat of the Pillar Men.
You may ask the same about deaths from other Parts, and the answer is the same. Deaths like these make you pause for a moment and realise the very real danger the rest of the characters are in.
Caesar's death is also holds the message of the importance of keeping a cool head to avoid making silly mistakes (as Caesar did)
I blame Araki for not fleshing out this more in the dialogue and commentary following the deaths - especially in a shounen series - but I do believe Araki intended this message.
e.g. if Joseph had followed up by saying something like "Dammit, Caesar! You were too hot-headed!"
I mean, he trained so hard that he could beat Loggins but yeah part 2 is just revolved around Joseph, he’s the only person that actually gets to kill anyone.
Yeah no it makes total sense narratively but it just feels really strung together in an awkward way
didn't he also like
get wamuus lip ring thing
i haven't watched part two in a long time
yes, but that would have happened if he defeated Wamuu anyway
and Wamuu could’ve taken it back if he wanted to
but he a bitch
He could have popped it using wind like he did when ceased used his bubbles against him
Wammu could have very easily destroyed it
he chose not to out of respect
he says that directly
nah, if he had popped it, it would have caused an explosion to rival that of Oppenheimer's, wiping them all out in the process
