It's just to tell you that Rock Human females and normal human females are virtually the same as one another, geez. Araki just put Hermes and Enya there to have more varying examples. Notice how Sadako from The Ring is there, a Roman statue, an old Japanese style drawing of a woman?
to everyone who thinks Hermes and Enya are rock humans, they are not. they were used as examples to show how female rock humans can look just like normal humans.
The bizarre references to The Arrows and the Stone Masks are quite tricky...are we supposed to take it as "this was the old universe's manifestation of this process"?
Seems like the main conflict is between Rock Beings encroaching into the Carbon Beings territory and giving up on the idea of just being considered a natural Fallback system.
(part of me almost expected Wonder of U to be Scatman's World...since their designs are so similar)
Rai flashback near the end of the part. Set up Josuke in a losing position and Rai in one to avenge his friend and parents. Uh oh. Something tells me he's not gonna be around for much longer.
