Also something funny popped up
Just eating dinner with my family right
My younger brother mentions that I watch jojo to my dad since I told him I finished part 3
He smirks
“It’s an anime”
“An anime? Whats that”
And then my dad asked me to explain jojo to him
And I kinda sucked at it
I’m really bad at summarizing stuff
So I took the easy way out and told him what Polnereff land is and just stopped
So now he thinks I saw 48 half hour long episodes about Polnereff land
junior garnet
"Man's adoptive brother kills dad, becomes vampire, tries to take over the world, fails, becomes a head, kills brother"
I'd watch that

It honestly makes way more sense in the manga where it's Superman

And when did Baoh debut?
sullen oar
I think thats before part 2 takes place
He’s like a young adult then
And after thinking it over
My favorite intro is part 3 op 2
I love all the things you notice after seeing the ending parts
Spoilers in plain sight
Huh interesting detail
Like Josephs neck knife, 20 m emerald splash, avdol shoving polnereff and iggy
And Jotaro taking a knife to the everywhere
THOTH
Mfw Joseph secretly used thoth before BOINGO
I found the art style in that one funny
No idea how he thought of all the weird designs
I caught that too
junior garnet
And people say Joseph was just a little shit
He loved his Grandma
He probably thought the "he makes her cry" was a "he beat her", not a "he died saving the world from his asshole vampire half-brother"
The real reason he wanted to kill DIO
"I heard he made her cry that one time, he must DIE"
sullen oar
Based Joseph kills those who make granny Erina cry
When Joseph mentioned Erina I thought DIO was gonna brag about kissing her

And I’ll admit I was skeptical of Jotaro at first but his general lack of emotion was made up for by parts like steely dan getting fuckin merc’d

I think it says afterwards they never knew

And trying to seperate

the narrator says “it was over before they knew they were even attacked! Oingo and boingo: retired”

But pronounced as oingo

Lol nice

since Oingo Boingo is the name of an actual band

A lot of names in jojo are band related

Also, fun fact. Santanna was still called Santanna in the JoJo OVA’s additional timeline material

Which is literally the guys name
I mean he clearly does sometimes
Hence the reference towards him previously doing the cigar thing
Or cigarette whatever one

like they sometimes try to hold true
like J. Geil
they changed his name to Centerfold

don't call it that
bold badger
Hol Horse had a pretty cool stand
weary turret
- they were mostly split up through the arc
- hamon cannot be channeled through Hierophant Green
- it probably wouldn't have worked anyway, cause DIO could use The World to avoid it
- he never thought to
either one
low moss
It can channeled through anything
And he couldnt avoid it because he was surrounded
He stopped time and had to work his way out
With his hands
If that was hamon hed be fried
weary turret
through hierophant green, not the emerald splash
it is unlikely that hamon can be channeled through other stands
joseph was a block away from kakyoin
low moss
He could grab the vines and not have to be directly to kakyoin
And hamon was channeled through hermit purple so it can be channeled through stands regardless of which ones, it applies to one it applies to all
weary turret
that is the exact opposite of how stands work
weary turret
no, i don't think hamon can be channeled through any stand. joseph's is the exception because it is his own stand
that's what i think, anyway
weary turret
actually, now that i think about it, is it ever explicitly said that joseph is channeling his hamon through his stand, or does the stand itself generate the hamon?
low moss
It channels through. He has to be the source of generation not the stand
junior garnet
Because any damage to he Stand would be reflected on the user
Same reason that the user and their Stand have the same weaknesses
weary turret
but, since the stand is a manifestation of one's soul, is it possible that the hamon comes from the life aura of the stand itself
burnt zodiac
well... frogs conduct hamon so i suppose it makes sense that a "soul" could as well
junior garnet
Hermit Purple acts as an extension of Joseph's body
low moss
When dio brings it up he says he is using the stand to flow the hamon
junior garnet
Hermit Purple "is" him
So does it really matter if the Hamon starts in Hermit Purple or Joseph?
weary turret
it's his soul, which is almost but not quite the same
low moss
Yeah but thats like saying a stand user cant interact with another stand user
But they can
burnt zodiac
i think "the stand generates the hamon" only makes sense if it's an autonomous stand like
weary turret
it does, because a stand that can generate hamon and a stand that can channel hamon are completely different
burnt zodiac
...uh, this is part 3, i can't think of any in part 3
low moss
It channels through bottles, other things, 'stand can do damage to stand' so it would have to interact after he puts his hand on it
junior garnet
Empress was automatic?
Maybe?
The D'Arby Stands took souls "automatically", but they're not the typical definition of Automatic Stands
weary turret
recall that a powerful hamon user can read fates, which could be read as a sort of spiritual locating power like HP
burnt zodiac
i wish the hamon/stand connection didn't just get thrown away so this made more sense lol
weary turret
there's also the whole "araki said HP is like hamon stand" but i've spent all day discussing araki saids and i don't wanna anymore
burnt zodiac
i don't like "HP is hamon stand" and i spend most of my time pretending he never said it
weary turret
he didn't quite say that, for what it's worth

silk sentinel
I wonder if any of the hamon masters in part 1 fought a vampire before? Because while they could be very skilled in hamon, if they did not know what moves a vampire has, they would be fighting blind against Dio.
low moss
How would they train in something not knowing what it was for
silk sentinel
They might know it was a powerful fighting technique that used light energy, and then later on figured it could be used against vampires, but since they hadn't actually fought an original mask-user vampire with hamon that wasn't a zombie underling they wouldn't be prepared.
I'm pretty sure hamon existed just as a magical fighting technique before Will Zeppeli decided to use it to fight the against the mask
Or it could be a plot hole, lol
low moss
I'm gonna go with the latter answer xd
sullen oar
There should be a spin off called Polnereffs toilet crusade and he just travels the world and reviews bathrooms
I’ll leave you all with that thought
weary turret
Dire lost because he wasn't prepared
he's spent probably a good chunk of his life practicing Sendo, but training in a temple is different from a real fight against a Stone Mask vampire
remember that hamon is not meant for actual fighting
(in part 1, they kinda change the rules later)
weary turret
again, we're using the part 1 hamon rules for dire because part 2 completely changed how hamon works

Is that why his strats are op

thing is, despite featuring centrally in a lot of episodes, polnareff doesn't actually do much aside from his central episodes

If I could pick any character to help defeat DIO
I choose DIO, from Stardust Crusaders.
He might seem like a weird choice, but hear me out, DIO's stand is actually a super similar type to DIO's stand. How, you ask? Well, DIO's stand, 「Za Warudo」, is similar to Jotaro's stand, 「Suta Purachina」, which is why 「Suta Purachina」 can stop time. But, in Stardust Crusaders, we can see 「Suta Purachina」 is actually very similar to DIO's stand, which means we can assume that he also has time stopping powers.
What better way to help someone in fighting a time stopping vampire with two people who can stop time?

So if his head gets completely shredded or just enough brain damage is torn he’s dead for good?

Part 3 enforced going through that massive field trip to kill him.

I guess I mean like if he’s used in a way other than the primary antagonist like if he’s a plot point or something of the likes.
Then I don’t mind.
Maybe it related to Joseph? Even then I feel like Dio’s definitively dead especially after the utterly defeated.

If DIO unstopped time during that, Jotaro would have to punch against the Roadroller falling AND DIO punching it downwards
And DIO would have some stand energy left to move in stopped time because he cut his own time stop short.
meager spade
it's very clear the objects dio touches have their normal force to an extent, otherwise the knives he throws wouldn't get near his targets, just stay where he stopped throwing them
jotaro is fighting against the whole weight of the roller and dio punching it down
lavish pewter
comic idea
jotaro's cooking show
he see's a knife and oras the shit out of the kitchen
deep lava
Are you gonna do that ORA ORA thing?!!

My friend just finished The Sun and they thought the pacing of the episode was fine lol
weary turret
The Sun is good if you like Joseph and watching the main cast just do stupid bullshit
orchid veldt
Yeah they really like Joseph so that probably helped
jolly mirage
I didn't have a problem with it when I watched the episode
only realized how weird it was hen I read the manga
weary turret
i will say if i'm ever rewatching i usually skip a few minutes sometimes
deep lava
This part padded out fights a lot.
My biggest gripe with it.
But that final fight though.
jolly mirage
yeah
it was really fucking great
also I loved how they did the world power reveal
cause in the manga you discover as dio kills kakyoin
they edited in the anime so you'd be confused and try to figure out what the stopped clock means
fallen shore
Yeah
deep lava
You think they did that so it wasn’t purely explanatory?
jolly mirage
idk why they did it like that but it was so good imo
at least for me I was like "wtfff how"
and trying to figure out what happened
deep lava
Could DIO have gone and killed them whenever he wanted?
wintry rampart
If you think about it
This is basically 3 Joestars in one van
except the one without the head ifc
Ofc*
in body thats 3
Ay
fallen shore
Jonathan’s body
wintry rampart
Do vampires sleep?
...beds are for other things....
Too
Ok then
and that explains the
other stuff
My question is.
What was Dio doing while in the coffin
He was fermenting like cheese yes
But like
doing what he wanted with jonathans body obv
What he always wanted
If he doesnt sleep. Then that means he was awake in a tight pitch black coffin for 100 years
yup
Cuz why not
fallen shore
DIO’s bed definitely wasn’t for sleep
wintry rampart
Like kars said “one month is like a blink of an eye”
so maybe its the same for dio
But
100 years
Okay here's my argument for that
Kars was several thousands of years old or some shit he was already pretty fucking old when he went into slumber
Dio was like 20
maybe he realized that he doesnt have to worry about aging and that he can just wait
near starBOT
@wintry rampart, Your Gangstar cred is now level 4 !
wintry rampart
Since well, he doesnt have to worry about growing old
fallen shore
He was probably kept awake by the thought of how sweet it’s gonna be when he gets out and can take over za waurdo
wintry rampart
When you live for many many many years like Kars, logically, time is gonna start going faster when you're like 2000 years old it's like what's the difference between 2001 and 2010. It's nothing. But when you have only lived 20 years, however that long felt to Dio, doing nothing for 5 times that amount, it seems idk
You know
endless pleasure with his destined man ;))
they are finally one
Who needs marriage just get a head transplant
Like heavy stuff even if he was mentalising himself that he was gonna take over the world or some shit
I think we talked about it before
90 years he lost most of his anger
Or insanity
And then he fought jotaro
Shit came back
Fast
Very fast
The first like ~30 years must've been hell on earth
Then got used to it
I want to know how he felt when he finally felt someone reeling him up
Same
fallen shore
DIO spent all 100 years just checking out Jonathan’s hot bod
So the time passed quickly for him
wintry rampart
Every single cell
Like everytime i look at dio i turn gay for the body
And then
I realize its jonathans
But then they didnt think about that for some reason
I think thats why vampires dont exist
They died the night they were born
wintry rampart
realize the memes about dios bulge
Its jonathans
Erins mustve had a good time
Erina*
If the moon doesn't hurt vampires, then sun through thick clouds or just being in the shade shouldn't either
isnt that what wamuu did?
block the sun through thick wind?
Yeah
meager spade
with wind?
meager spade
ah yes
wintry rampart
with the wind
meager spade
the invisible shit
wintry rampart
Under that, it was pitch black darker than night
Or than the rooms dio was in
It isn't
Specially when talking about the sun
Think of it like this
Blocking the attack u just stand through it
Deflect you are repelling it back to the other side
i wonder why the user of The Sun didnt just kill dio for the money
fallen shore
I still feel like it coulda wrecked DIO
wintry rampart
nah its just bite Za dusto
meager spade
i do multiple lines whenever i want
i paid for this keyboard
also this us much more important than any discussion
wintry rampart
I like to think reason vampires/pillar men die due to sunlight is that their body is cold
and then esidisi comes in and ruins that idea
wintry rampart
You know
meager spade
they die to sunlight because they die to sunlight.
wintry rampart
Him and his boiling blood
wintry rampart
im just saying i like to think that
fallen shore
With that logic turning up the thermostat could kill them
meager spade
magicians red hard counter to dio that's why he sent ice to kill avdol
google that.
you should like do that
wintry rampart
Makes u crave blood
Human blood
and thats what causes it
Ye
But then u have the dude who was technically the first person to use the mask in whats shown
That dude dio used the mask on
He didnt go too mad
Didnt kill dio instantly
Gotta get rich somehow
deep lava
How long did Part 3 take time wise? Trying to compare parts.
weary turret
bout 50 days
fallen shore
^
deep lava
So in 50 days a thug with a catchphrase, an Engrish man, a milf loving redhead, a French Guile, a man who died twice and a dog that poops in hats group up together and confront a flamboyant vampire’s goons until they reach the final boss.
fallen shore
I love... coconuts
junior garnet
Y'know
DIO brought back Vanilla Ice after he decapitated himself
As a vampire, but
When Dio told Jonathan that he could help him and Erina live forever
He wasn't lying
But he still could've, even though Jonathan died
junior garnet
Yes
deep lava
Did Iggy change design or was it just an age thing? Or am I delusional?
wanton turret
He changed design ya
fallen shore
They made him less ugly because Araki knew we wouldn’t want to see whatever the fuck his old design was for a whole fight
silk sentinel
Controversial opinion: ugly debut-design Iggy is less ugly than final-design Iggy. I'm sorry but that little fucker does Not look like a dog in late Part 3, the anatomy is really odd looking. Early Iggy at least looks like an ugly smushed face dog.
deep lava
Iggy was a trooper, the way Polnareff avenged him was badass.
Earned a lot of respect from me.
silk sentinel
The way Polnareff tricked Vanilla Ice into walking near the sunlight, and then having his stand shoulder check him so he falls and disintegrates into dust
silk sentinel
I rewatched Part 3 recently after watching the Part 3 OVA for the first time, and it was like watching it for the first time I was like oh hell yessss
Polnareff is the goofball but he is also really bad ass for what it's worth
deep lava
And he inspired Guile from Street Fighter! But yeah I gotta say I don't like the anime's pace but the group dynamic is one of the best in the series.
silk sentinel
Oh omg that's awesome I did not know that
silk sentinel
Part 3 takes forever to watch but I really love it
I watched subs
silk sentinel
I want to watch the dub but I don't have wifi at home so streaming/downloading is really an event for me
Oh for the SC OVA I watched the dub definitely lol
The 2000 one is funny at parts but really dry, the 1993 one is hilarious though
Finale is kick ass
void willow
im surprised at some parts of the ova btw
there are times where the animation rivals or surpasses current anime
deep lava
Really?
void willow
oh yeah
i can see it in my minds eye, when pol uses silver chariot one time
its REALLY well animated
silk sentinel
The finale bro, the animation is really fluid and the action shots are super well done
void willow
yeah
AN OIL TANKER FOR YOU
i do have beef with an oil tanker vs a road roller
but it was a surprise tbh
deep lava
The sound for the oil tanker was not well done though. But the line isn't that bad.
silk sentinel
Also the violence is not censored at all and it's even more gnarly at times than the 2014 (that's when it aired right) anime
It is funny at least, similar to road roller but less expected
void willow
is smoking censored?
silk sentinel
In the OVA? Nope
silk sentinel
The d'arby battle is one that I think feels nearly the same between the OVA and 2014 anime and I love it
Modern anime music is more badass tho. The song that plays during that battle is my favorite
The Kakero The Bluff
wintry rampart
I truly like the jojo ova ! They didn’t hide anything, unfortunately, it was too short
near starBOT
@wintry rampart, Your Gangstar cred is now level 1 !
wintry rampart
My personal favorite scene in Ova Jojos. Is the first episode, the shown in ova Shadow Dio, drain blood out of his willing female slaves .. they didn’t hide anything and showing Dio as the vampire lord he is.. but they didn’t show much of blood drink as it SHOULD BE as in mange and more ideas..
Which I personally wishing known the sound of blood drained. Of Ova Dio ..

Out of the 4 parts I’ve seen so far (phantom blood to DIU)
This is my least favorite part tbh
But it’s still pretty great
fallen shore
Oof
high trout
Part 3 is great but it's probably the one that hasn't aged best
fallen shore
Man it’s hard being a Part 3 fan sometimes
Seeing everyone rank one of your favorite parts near the bottom
high trout
I feel the same way but with Part 1
It's my fav and it's usually the least favorite for most people
silk sentinel
I enjoyed Part 1 and 2, but Part 3 is what made me love the series
civic plank
i've been rewatching part 3 with my dad
and i'm enjoying it more than the first time around
but I wish they would have done more with Jotaro and the constant enemy stands felt pretty tedious too me
but it was good fun
silk sentinel
Right like the fights with D'arby and Terence feels like rain in a desert with how much Jotaro actually talks
civic plank
D'arby elder was amazing tho
the younger one I didnt like
it felt like a rehash of something I already saw
like just saw
a few hours ago lmao
silk sentinel
Yeah the only thing Terence has over D'arby is that he's really creepy and "gentlemanly", and he gambles with video games. His personality makes me hate him but he's at least something different than a few of the previous minor antagonists. He is still ultimately boring though. Especially because his stand is like the same as his brother's.
civic plank
yeah it felt like filler
and I mean you could say that about a lot of stardust
but it was about the journey and having fun
which I mean stardust was really fun right?
but I wish they could have done a lot more
silk sentinel
Part 3 has much better group character interactions than some other parts, but I wish there was more development between several character's, like Kakyoin and Jotaro for example. Several times they talk about how they are both students, but they never really interact that much.
civic plank
yeah
I wish they would have a small rivalry like a Joseph Caesar type deal
and I mean I get that Jotaro is a badass right?
and I mean
I love Jotaro
but he's not a great main character
I get that there's more to him thats hinted in parts 3 and 4
but I mean
whats shown to us
didn't give me that imo
it doesn't feel like he has any real emotional struggle y'know what I wish they would have done is have him struggle with star platinum and not instantly be amazing with it
it would parallel what his mom is going through too
he just got a stand and has a constant struggle with it
what we got is still ok I guess
and I saw the videos explaining what araki meant for him to be ik
but still I didn't feel that in the anime
Polnareff feels like more of a main character
hell Joseph does
idk
I felt like they did nothing with DIO too
and he felt like a final boss
wintry rampart
Polnareff IS the main character of part 3
civic plank
and thats about it lmao
wintry rampart
silk sentinel
Right. Like you know he has issues because of all the stuff he's been through (mostly like the ongoing events of part 3) but he's such an impossible badass that none of that is actually canon.
Omg in the SC OVA when I watched it, like the prequel part made in 2000 I literally forgot Jotaro existed in it like 5 times. He's never there and never doing anything
wintry rampart
Polnareff is my favourite character in JoJo so far (my knowledge goes along with the anime so until ep 7 of VA)
civic plank
yeah I know that he has struggles with his family and the way they handle his sadness and anger is great and subtle right? but as a main JoJo, as a main character
Araki should have done more
imo
wintry rampart
Part 4 Jotaro is waaaay better than part 3 Jotaro
civic plank
oh man
silk sentinel
Tbh I used to be kind of spiteful of Polnareff because he got so much more development than several other characters lmao. Now I don't care about that much he's honestly just cool
wintry rampart
civic plank
I think stardust is more enjoyable the second time around
and I mean I know that Jotaro's struggle is kind of his moms sick
but I mean Joseph shows that more than he does
right?
so I feel like him struggling with star platinums sheer power
wintry rampart
I' m watching part 3 anime in the proper way and I' m enjoying it a lot
civic plank
and him "barely able to hold it back"
silk sentinel
wintry rampart
silk sentinel
I could not skip parts because I have a thing about chronological order. Like when I rewatched part 3 I didn't even let myself skip the episodes I hated because I had to watch every episode for some reason
