Jojo's Bizarre Adventure; Part I: We're Lacking Poses!

[LaZodiac]

And talking about JoJo Objection!Music, whose is your favourite? For reference.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqtJqKgemw4 Jonathan's
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TOQgFRfdSw Joseph's
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFjE5A4UAJI Jotaro's
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRGrfurZaNQ Josuke's

I shown them to (small number) of friends, and most agree that Jotaro's really the best. My ranking are Jotaro-Josuke-Joseph, and Jonathan's position depends on my mood on how it's a more classic anime and different than the others'.

Ha, this cracks me up. It also cracks me up that Jotaro's bling in DiU are dolphins.

In order

1:All of them.

Also hey man, he's really serious about ocean biography. You octopus, there's only one reason you got caught. One simple reason. You really really pissed me off.

[Yael]

I feel he's not THAT bland, he just is a really inwardly emotional guy. Remember, the Stand is a reflection of the soul. Star Platinum is always screaming.

Jotaro's just really calm on the outside because when all is said and done he's (in Stardust anyways) a teenager doing some pretty ****ed up **** and trying to keep things cool. Dude just wants to look at fish.

True. Jotaro's emotions can be seen exploding at the beginning and end of Stardust Crusaders, but he has to keep his cool.

I love Josuke. I HAVE MY PRIDE...we need to ALL get filthy stinking rich! Sadly, the power of money corrupts even this small spike headed child.

Jojo so far has not dissapointed me ever.

[Amaril]

Okay, so I just finished watching Phantom Blood, and...I actually loved it? Sure, it's not the most original or complex thing, but what it does, it does with style and tons of heart. I think my mistake before was making a judgment based on what I realize now was just the setup to the real action (the first four episodes). If it's all uphill from here, sign me the heck up.

I teared up at Jonathan's death. That was a hard episode to watch.

We may disagree on many things but I'm glad we can both appreciate at least one bit of art.

Consider that Phantom Blood is universally considered the worst part, and yet it's still that good. This is what we call "learning about comparisions" and I love it.

I read a comment in a discussion and found that silly enough that I have to link it to you guys.

Spoiler: Spoiler since apparently we have a fresh watcher

The discussion was about "can jotaro beat ulitmate kars" and I'm not here to discuss whether he could or could not, I just found myself laughing in real life from this comment.

I love to imagine Kars coming back and being like "why am I being punhced by invisible things? ouch, it hurts, WTF is this I can't ****ing see this Stand thing but everybody has it, holy **** **** my life"

Wouldn't Kars be able to attack the stand user directly using super-speed and super-strength though? He could tank most stands, except for ones that have unique battlefield control abilities.

True, and most stand user also won't be able to defeat him with his infinite regeneration, except for specific stands like... Vanilla Ice's or Okuyasu's who just straight up erase things from existence (maybe Rohan as well). I was just mostly linking that for the silly quote.

Yeah, soul-stealing stands like Osiris or Atum may or may not work on vampires, and body control stands like Hierophant Green, Justice, or Anubis should work well. Sethan probably wouldn't work well, since Kars is hella old.

Tohth could defeat Kars in some convoluted way, but it doesn't seem to have the ability to actually cause anything to happen, so if Kars dying is not in the cards, then...

[Yael]

Spoiler: Parts V-VIII

Show

Gold Experience Requiem... Just, Gold Experience Requiem. Also, probably Purple Haze could kill him, Pillar Men are a supervampire species, but virus are somewhat different, who knows.

Jumping Jack Flash, the Green Baby, and Made in Heaven, those are extremely overpowered. Jailhouse Rock would be funny tho.

"I, Kars can transform into a bird! Or an ape, or a bird! Or... a bird!"

You can always Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap him, also Civil War could have a big impact because of his sins against the other Pillar Men.

Aaaaand, probably Soft and Wet could steal his goodhood, maybe?

Sad thing is that Cinderella is placed before Kira, but that's fine I guess. I feel that in the manga this arc was just skipped. Probably Araki hated Shigekyo as much as everyone else?

How normal is he, really? He literally smelled that something was afoot.

But yes, any kind of special skill or experience he might have as a banker pales in comparison to the stuff JoJo puts out on a regular basis. I think that scene is more of a testament to the kids being unable to keep cool under pressure. In their place, Jotaro or Joseph would have done something with their Stands right away, before the call.

I'm actually pretty okay with moving around some of the events to make it feel like it has better pacing. A lot of Pat 4 is really episodic anyway.

Not sure what you mean by arc skipping. Harvest was in the original he just kind of...immediately dies after his arc because Kirakirakirakira.

Well, yes. Shigechi just dies straight after his 's Harvest, and that felt kinda boring, straight up killing a character after meeting him. And he didn't even deserve that, it was just an accident, a dog's fault.

On this week's episode.

Spoiler

Show

It's not the best episode ever but.

The scene where rohan came out of nowhere and drags koichi to the mall?

I died. That scene killed me. I'm a ghost now.

Why is DiU so silly-great.

[Gastronomie]

Spoiler: Spoilers for later Part 4 episodes, do not open if you haven't read original manga

Show

Shigechi was killed because if he stayed alive, finding out who the murderer is (Kira) is really, and I mean really, easy.

One way to use Harvest is to be constantly on alert everywhere within the city. Whenever something seems fishy, the Harvests report it to Shigechi, allowing him to watch over the entire town. Of course, if Kira happens to be playing with his "girlfriend" anywhere, Shigechi will know, and so will the other main cast characters.

Even in face-to-face combat, Shigechi is superior to Kira. If Shigechi stays back and doesn't come within range of the bomb attacks, he can just use his alcohol method to poison Kira to death. By all means, he had to die, because otherwise the plot would have ended right there.

Also, someone in the main cast had to become a victim of Kira as a "sacrifice", in order to emphasize how he's gonna do anything to conceal his identity, as well as give the other characters a stronger motivation to pursue him.

But really, the truth is that Araki has a pretty bad and infamous habit of creating super-powerful characters on the protagonists' side, failing to balance him out, and killing him/making him depart the main cast because he doesn't know how to handle the character correctly. Abdul from Part 3 is one example. So is Fugo from Part 5. And Shigechi is the example from Part 4.

Why is DiU so silly-great.

Because Diamond is Unbreakable is what happens when you mix Fist of the North Star with Lucky Star. Like the first theme song for the series says "This is Jojo's every day life. A crazy noise bizarre town".

True but the opposite.

Lucky Star is a reference-heavy anime.

JJBAIV:DiU is a reference-heavy anime.

If antagonistic is a word protagonistic can be one as well. And yeah, Koichi is low key the actual main lead of Diamond is Unbreakable. Kinda like how a good deal of Stardust was also Polnareff's story. It's basically just a good example of how Araki can, if he wants, really put focus on the characters if he wants.

And yes oh god yes, I cannot wait for the next episode. My friend who's going into this all blind has no idea what he's expecting and is both scared and excited.
