The Grateful Dead & Beach Boy/Green Day & Oasis
I re-watched the Green Day and Oasis fight recently and I couldn't help but notice something.
For the most part, it's almost exactly the same as the Grateful Dead and Beach Boy fight.

GD+O fight, the last Sex Pistol number helps the other person out, doing something that allows Giorno
to come out on top. Also, Bruno escapes an enemy by zipping away, falling down from his current

point during the fight via mobile phone.
After the fight, Giorno discovers that Cioccolata, the first enemy, was in contact with his ally at some

Even the stands are similar.
The Grateful Dead, a stand that indiscriminately attacks those around it with a horrifying, body altering process.
Green Day, a stand that (almost) indiscriminately attacks those around it with a horrifying, body altering process.
Beach Boy, a stand named after something related to a body of water, that can go through solid objects like water and track enemies through vibrations felt in the line.
Oasis, a stand named after something related to a body of water, that can go through solid objects like water and track enemies through vibrations felt in the liquid ground.
Some other, minor similarities are that Prosciutto and Cioccolata both rub their allies head on two separate occasions. Oh, and Prosciutto and Cioccolata both used their stand abilities to alter their bodies and take one of the protagonists by surprise.
TL;DR, Araki wrote the same damn fight twice, with some alterations, and the glorious bastard got away with it. I'm sure other people have noticed it, but I really had to get it off my chest haha.
