History YMMV / StarCrossedCrusaders

* CrossesTheLineTwice: In the original version's take on Oingo and Boingo's attempt on the group, The AdaptationExpansion that Oingo (who is disguised as Jotaro) gives about him and Boingo's dead mother is pretty sad. Then Hitomi asks about if "Jotaro" has called his mother yet, and when he says he hasn't, she lectures him on why he should. Cue "Jotaro" bawling about missing his mom after a cutaway, [[DramaticIrony with a surprised Hitomi]] [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness unaware of why he has such a reaction.]] Dark? Yes. Hilarious? Also yes.
-->'''(Oingo disguised as) Jotaro''': '''''I'm sorry! I miss my mama!!'''''

* HilariousInHindsight: The title of chapter 19 of the original version is a ShoutOut to "Lovefool" by Music/TheCardigans. This same song and band would be directly referenced again two sequels later in ''Fanfic/LacrimeDoroDelVentoAureo'' for the ability of another character.

** Also in the original version, the flashback of Joseph and Caesar in chapter 38, which also shows Fredo has [[spoiler:Fredo shooting a gangster under his command[[note]](who is also the same one from Caesar's backstory, now a subordinate of Fredo)[[/note]] dead in his anger despite letting Caesar and Joseph go after Fredo's bitter falling out with Caesar]]. This can take a much darker light once ''Fanfic/LacrimeDoroDelVentoAureo'' shows in its own flashback chapters [[spoiler:what kind of person Fredo became the deeper he went into the mafia business since then]].

* HarsherInHindsight: In the original version, while Hitomi's time with Oingo disguised as Jotaro before they enter the car is PlayedForLaughs for as much as it can be, the part where "Jotaro" ends up bawling over missing his mother can end up being sadder after ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureCrazyDiamondsDemonicHeartbreak Crazy Diamond's Demonic Heartbreak]]'' briefly shows [[spoiler:in a flashback that Oingo and Boingo had an abusive father. Because their mother is nowhere to be seen in that moment, it's likely she's dead in that story too. Essentially, the status of each parent in both works compliment each other, making it easy to imagine them be the case in one another]].

* HeartWarmingInHindsight: Regarding the climax of the original version, with how [[spoiler:the ending of ''Manga/StoneOcean'' was a lot more [[AmbiguousEnding ambiguous in the manga]], there were different types of theories of what it could have meant, one of which theorizing that the events of Parts 1 to 5 still happened, which this story applies. As it turns out, this correctly predicts the implications of the final ED of the ''Stone Ocean'' anime, as just like in this fanfic, the timeline is the same up until where ''Stone Ocean'' would have taken place]].
