#

I want another sad ending

lilac hazel
#

Like how does breaking Dios leg make his brain explode

tired sleet
#

I want another joestar to die tbh (I just started part 5)

#

Why did Dio use that leg in the first place?

#

He knew that he was hurt badly

#

Why kick and not you know

#

Punch

lilac hazel
#

Pis i guess

deep lava
#

Arrogance was Dio’s biggest issue in the part hands down.

#

He could’ve killed them much earlier on.

tired sleet
#

Yeah

#

Well that's always his downfall

#

I think he was already on the brink of death and that weak spot just made his body give in?

#

Idk

minor scaffold
#

jotaro is stronk

lilac hazel
#

And how did Jotaro stop time at the 9 second mark without being aware 9 seconds have passed since he can only stop time for 3 seconds?

tired sleet
#

Idk

deep lava
#

“There’s only one reason you lost, Dio. One simple reason...”

jolly mirage
#

he was aware the entire time he just couldn't move

#

oraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

lilac hazel
#

So was Jotaro the only who doesnt lose his awareness during time stop?

#

because of star platinum

minor scaffold
#

yeah

jolly mirage
#

yes

lilac hazel
#

i see

minor scaffold
#

i imagine jotaro just feeling weird whenever dio was testing time stop before stardust crusaders

wintry rampart
#

jotaro was able to move in dio's time stop because he has the same typeof stand as dio

deep lava
#

Yes yes yes, oh my god.

wintry rampart
#

And because he stopped time while he was in dio's time stop

minor scaffold
#

what if jotaro chopped up his time stop into .2 seconds so he can get his bearings while DIO stopped time

#

he staggered his time stop

deep lava
#

Who likes large fries?

its a jojo reference

#

#

SC Joseph is hottest JoJo change my mind

jolly root
#

No one's gonna deny facts

wintry rampart
#

DIO had so much luck that those fisherman found his coffin at nightfall. If they‘d open his chest at the midst of the day SC would have been muuuuch shorter.

wintry rampart
#

How does he know if he can‘t see wether its night or day

#

Is that a r/wooosh reference?

it‘s r/wooosh in it‘s finest

#

@wintry rampart, Your Gangstar cred is now level 1 !

junior garnet
#

Wait what happened?

#

Yeah Imma have to call spoil on that

#

Bringing up concepts not introduced until much later is a spoil

#

Even if it's something retconned into being important in a previous part

#

Like the Joestar Birthmark's importance

odd delta
#

Devo had one of my favorite stands of this part.

wintry rampart
#

I‘m rereading the manga rn and i‘m at stardust crusaders and is it just me or is there like a significant boost in drawing quality from part two to three (mind that i read in coloured version) or is it just my mind playing tricks for me bc i actually started to really like jojo with part three.

meager spade
#

the art gets insanely better after part 2

wintry rampart
#

I liked the art in pt 2 the best

meager spade
#

well you are free to be wrong

wintry rampart
#

Welp

#

That was unexpected

#

You are a very small minority when you say that the art of part two is the best, not even considering how many different art was drawn due to stands ^^

#

Or when you are like an anime only watcher and just came up to part IV or V

#

Nobody seems to like pt 2

meager spade
#

whenever you say anything in part 2 is the best i will always think you're an anime only

#

or like

#

super biased

#

also everyone loves part 2,

#

which is annoying

wintry rampart
#

How do u feel about people who like pt 3 best?

#

Nah part two is kinda a fan favorite, bc people tend to underestimate it

meager spade
#

?

#

part two is horribly overrated

wintry rampart
#

Pt 3 isnt

meager spade
#

"haha joseph does the funni joek this is the best jojo, best fight, best villain, best death best jobro best part"

#

and it's not even close to the truth

wintry rampart
#

YaRe YarE Daze

#

Part III is kinda the most important part, like this is where Araki found the right tone, right battle mechanic and so on, but best part? I‘d say not

#

Says yare yare=win, pt 3 summary

meager spade
#

says someone elses line=win

#

part 2 summary

wintry rampart
#

And even in Shounen History it‘s the most important part

meager spade
#

so like

#

yeah brew

#

part 2 trash deal with it thaaanks

wintry rampart
#

You're next line actually has diversity

meager spade
wintry rampart
#

I must say... this is shounen... i think you must come to expect that the main character wins with asspulls, it‘s more about how they do this which makes it worl

#

You're next line is going to be "YeAh Pt3 iS betteR"

#

Yeah Part 3 is better

#

NANI????

meager spade
#

i don't think part 3 is better

#

i just think part 2 is extremely overrated and nothing about is any special within jojo

wintry rampart
#

I think its underrated tbh

#

I see nothing but hate for it

#

When i co-read the Manga (came until Part six) and Anime this Summer i gradually liked each part more and more. Altough 3 and 4 was tied for me five and six also

meager spade
#

i see nothing but "hurr joseph best jojo"

wintry rampart
#

Pt 3 is overrated

#

But i want to make a full run though now

#

Literally everyone I know says Joseph is the worst jojo

#

And they like Jotaro

#

I must say, watching the first two parts is really much better than reading them as an experience

#

For me at least

#

Pt 1 was pretty slow reading it ngl

#

But starting with part IV i‘d say there are things Anime does better than the Manga and things which it fails to encapture like the manga

#

I can agree with that

#

@wintry rampart dunno

meager spade
#

dude literally every anime only thinks joseph is the best

wintry rampart
#

I guess it was like a grande finale

meager spade
#

why?

#

idfk

#

but they do

wintry rampart
#

Like „at least i must do something so that people will remember my manga if i have to end it“

#

I'm reading the manga and I think Joseph is best Jojo

#

joseph is charming as hell

#

After all he like to cheat

#

And joke

#

I'll end this with Jojo>Jojo

#

See it anyway you want

#

And to goof around

#

Bye

#

Idk

meager spade
#

jotaro

#

is more jojo

#

than any other jojo

wintry rampart
#

You got Josuke without jo in his last name

meager spade
#

because he's Kujo Jotaro

#

he actually just has jojo perfectly in his name

wintry rampart
#

Jonathan Joestar is the real jojo

#

Why does Josuke not have jo in his last name anyways

meager spade
#

the kanji in his name can be read as jo

#

they explain it

#

same for shizuka

wintry rampart
#

Kinda like that Gio thing

meager spade
#

n

#

no

wintry rampart
#

Didnt you like it when Jojo beat not jojo

#

thinks of WRYYYYY, KONO DIO DA! MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA and the NANI? death scene

#

You know who has a beautiful voice

#

Polnareff

#

IGGGGGGYYYYY

#

IGGY GET OUT OF HERE HES STILL ALIVE

#

I must say, what i notice at least for part 3 is that that the Stands have a more ghostly look for me, there is something in the colouring for me which makes it look more like something otherworldy something not supposed to be here than in the anime, in the anime they look more like body painting crossdressers

#

(Don‘t wanna say they look bad or are badly animated in the anime)

#

I like the look of stands better in pt 4

#

Something about them

#

Imagine an old jotaro with a joseph kind of besrd

#

No

#

Dont imagine that

#

Well try to believe someone who says he witnessed two buff guys watching each other and suddenly everything started to explode like something very heavy hit it and it got very hot

#

Also they suddenly started to bleed for some reason

#

Well there were only the policemen

#

The two

#

Well that was an araki forgot moment

#

They were suddenly there and suddenly disappeared

#

But no i agree with you, the fact that no one outside of stand users ever notice what happens is kind off strange

#

Except for very fee exceptions

#

But on the other hand araki shows that when a non-stand user is involved in this, they really really don‘t get anything happening around them

#

Like the girl in part three or the boy in part four

#

Well considering what dio did

#

Local French man cant climb stairs

#

I think you can add robberies of important treasures around the whole world and sudden strange disappearings from young women and also some young men in kairo maybe even whole egypt

spice spruce
#

just gonna ora once and dip

wintry rampart

Local stand user said Ora, then dipped

#

Im currently re-watching Part 3 dubbed and I still love Stand Proud it's so good

#

There are a lot of stands that I wonder how people figured out how to use them

#

Like Cream

#

How do you just figure out you can eat things out of existence

#

And while I'm on Cream and Vanilla Ice, I just want to mention how silly he looks in the OVA

near starBOT
#

@high trout, Your Gangstar cred is now level 15 !

high trout
#

nice

wintry rampart
#

Yeah

#

How did he realize that he could eat himself with out dying

#

Nvm prob shouldnt mention that last bit here

meager spade
#

that's okay

weary turret
#

stand users seem to instinctively understand how to use their stand to a certain degree. this feeling is strongest with animal stand users like Iggy and Pet Shop

wanton turret
#

or with joseph

meager spade
#

it's their soul after all

wanton turret
#

cuz no sane person would punch an expensive camera for no reason at all

#

but i guess joseph is rich so it ain't really a problem

meager spade
#

or how jotaro just felt he could draw the fly from the pic

#

because SP could

weary turret
#

it's implied joseph doesn't understand how to use his stand effectively for spirit photography, actually

#

because DIO can take pictures just by tapping a camera with his similar stand

wanton turret
#

oh

#

but like, at least he knew he had to need a camera

weary turret
#

yeah

wanton turret
#

or maybe it was an accidental tv touch that fried his tv so he went to test it out on other stuff

#

since he can use tvs just by touching

weary turret
#

jotaro used his columbo detective skills to figure out the fly, too

#

he figured that if Star Platinum has super eyesight then he can use it to make a more detailed picture than a camera could

wanton turret
#

which is dumb cuz i'm pretty sure the only feat star platinum could do that jotaro would find out in a way that isn't forced, is his speed

#

'oh shit he's fast enough to catch a bullet, i bet he can see well and is an artist'

weary turret
#

you'd never notice that you have eyeballs as powerful as a telescope i guess

#

#

Kid still isn't home

#

2 days of worrying later we alert the cops

#

They put out an APB

#

A month passes

#

Kid's still missing

wasn't kak taken by dio when he was traveling

#

so like it wws before he got into jotaros school even

last coral
#

yea

weary turret
#

from what we know, it probably went like this

#

the kakyoins went on a trip to egypt

#

noriaki meets DIO and gets a flesh bud in his head

#

noriaki goes back and returns to japan with his parents, they are unaware that anything is wrong

#

noriaki transfers to a new school for whatever reason

#

disappears on the first day

junior garnet
#

*Noriaki transfers to a new school because DIO pulled strings to make all of his Stand users encounter Jotaro

weary turret
#

dies >45 days later

#

yeah but from the perspective of the parents

#

also, i don't have a source for this, but i think it was more enya pulling the strings in the network of stand users early on, with DIO just chillin in egypt

When he was with Boingo I believe

He tried to shoot Jotaro but shot himself

Weren't they only hospitalized? Not dead

@pine mist HUGE FACTS

#

One of my favorite stands from Part 3

#

why do the coolest episodes (bar dio) involve like, no stands

But we don't do one chapter per episode (on a good day)

This is why I didn't watch the One Piece anime

#

I know it sounds like an elitest thing to say but One Piece is SOOO much better as a manga

junior garnet
#

#

HOW

#

I'm surprised at how much they stretch out VA chapters

#

But then OP is crazy

high trout
#

Yeah which is why I'm hyped to start reading the manga again from where I left off

#

I buy the 3 in 1 volumes because they're a good deal

#

So mine should be coming in tommorow actually

vocal halo
#

oraaah~

tawdry kernel
#

does punching like star platinum or za warudo effective in a real fight?

pine mist
#

not really

#

single blows are 1. easier to land and 2. more likely to stun or daze

#

a rush of weaker punches requires a really really good opportunity to come and probably isnt any better than one good punch in the face/chest

#

which is easier to follow up on

#

plus, if you miss the rhythm of one punch, then you're easily hit back

#

so you'd have to land each one well

#

and you'd require a lot of power in your arms to punch at a high enough rate

pine mist
#

if you got stand rushed by someone punching exactly like them, you'd be dead in a second

#

but a human doing it in a human way, no chance it'd be more effective than normal punches

Who's stand is the world anyway?

pine mist
#

dio

raven heart
#

Really now?

junior garnet
#

DIO

raven heart
#

Why not Jonathan?

junior garnet
#

Because Stands are a manifestation of one's soul

#

Who does The World more represent

#

A man who enjoys wasting time and mocking people

#

Or a pure boi who fights honorably

pine mist
#

also because jonathan doesnt have

#

a stand

raven heart
#

Do you mind a little bit of a game theory? Smugechi

pine mist
#

game theory time

#

whats your game theory

raven heart
#

Well, my theory is that DIO doesn't have a stand, but is using Jonathan's stand just as much as he is pupetting his body

pine mist
#

dio's mind still controls the body though

#

and since the stand is the manifestation of one's soul, not body

raven heart
#

Allow me to present all the little evidence I have!

pine mist
#

by all means

raven heart
#

Firstly, I'd like to point at Vanilla ice as a stand user

pine mist
#

explain

raven heart
#

Vanilla Ice is a strange case, as I don't think it was explicitly shown or alluded to during his fight with the boys™ that he is a vampire. It is only towards the end of the fight where the doggo dies and polnaref catches a second wind that Ice starts to be a bit vampiry

pine mist
#

it is directly shown when dio pours his blood into his corpse

#

that he gave to dio

#

which brings him back as a vampire

meager spade
#

the fact that he is alive is already enough signs of vampirism

pine mist
#

we see vanilla ice BECOME a vampire

raven heart
#

But there are multiple instances of him in direct sunlight when he isn't hurt, before Iggster bits the duster

near starBOT
#

@raven heart, Your Gangstar cred is now level 2 !

pine mist
#

incorrect

raven heart
#

Thanks Bot-chan

pine mist
#

he always avoids it, and if he does touch it he gets singed

#

there's only sunlight for the final leg of the battle

raven heart
#

Sorry then, I guess I never noticed. The windows in the back were always sorta troublesome

#

It just seemed strange to me that vanilla had so much fighting spirit towards the end of the fight but didn't use cream at all, getting blazed instead. His reference to also "dying soon" confused me a bit before polnaref reveal

meager spade
#

he thinks he's gonna die

#

anyway about the world

#

i don't know what evidence you were gonna present

#

but let me show mine

#

my canon evidence

#

who's the name there

raven heart
#

Well, to tie it all in. My brain went override once Polny said "A soulless monster like you". And the whole chapter was kinda littered with the concept of soul with Iggster and such

pine mist
#

while i dont agree with tg in general, that point doesnt mean that he's the original owner

raven heart
#

I am getting to my MatPatian GT schmuck with the sexy vamp hunk soon

pine mist
#

as we see with whitesnake

#

the 'master' doesnt have to be the one who manifested the stand

#

any given disc stand user is referred to as the 'stand master', and its not their stand

raven heart
#

Thanks, I guess

pine mist
#

that specific point doesnt prove him wrong

raven heart
#

Anyhow, long story short. It for me thinking whether Polnaref was just cool or it actually meant something. Like when someone fully becomes a vampire, or a 'soulless monster' if they can even have a stand (Ice not using cream for the last segment)

pine mist
#

thing is, they still have a soul

raven heart
#

If Za Baduto was really JUST controlled by DIO, it could explain where Jotaro gets his little time stop from.

pine mist
#

if we wanna look at a more direct example of a person not having a 'soul' then we'd have to look ahead in the parts but no discussion of them

meager spade
#

go to manga gen

raven heart
#

Could you please DM me to tell me who you mean?

#

Or that

meager spade
#

yeah you can go to manga gen

robust carbon
#

why the frick does DIO look like that one kid from meet the robinsions?

weary turret
#

araki has said that The World was one of the first stands he designed. THE first, I think

#

and also that DIO can use the hermit purple-like power because he has jonathan's body

#

source is jjagg for both i think

#

anyway, that's an outright denial as far as i'm concerned

weary turret
#

i mean, that's possible too, but there isn't really anything suggesting so other than that it took like 20 years to be confirmed outright

robust carbon
#

i'm confused on how dio got to johnathan's body in the ship explosion at the end of part one if erina took baby joseph into the coffin.

It just works

And it was baby Lisa lisa

It's nothing to brag about, but I'm horrible at remembering things. I can barely remember what I did for fun as a kid, or what such-and-such TV show was about. The other day I saw Rie Miyazawa (a Japanese actress) but I completely forgot her name. When I asked someone what her name was, they laughed at me. (I should mention that I'm a huge Rie Miyazawa fan.) I'm really worried about my future...

I don’t know where I’m taking this

primal furnace
#

They literally all have the same face he looks so much like his grandfather and great great grandfather

#

Just started guy stardust crusaders

#

Also interesting I have friends that are half Japanese and if there’s a white person in the mix even if it’s the mother of the Japanese they are going look much more Caucasian

#

I can bet money specially because his mom is white he looks like a white kid

#

By Japanese standards he looks like a straight up foreigner

#

He youngest of the JoJo so far at seventeen Joseph I think was 19 and Jonathan was 20

#

Yeah good question but then look at him

#

Also they are progressively becoming more delinquents first JoJo was a gentleman and English lord

#

Joseph came from wealth I am what I would consider definitely a gentlemanly family if you look at his father and mother

#

And it’s strange this kind of love this honorable good guy trickster

#

I can’t wait to see how the current one is

#

So dio coffin found but how is he is going to top the pillar

#

Jotaro

#

This my first reading I never watch the anime so I’m going in completely blind

#

Joseph is a racist asshole and it’s terrible that I love it because it’s show in slapstick fashion

#

He been beating on Japanese guys from the gate

#

Definitely resentful about his daughter marrying a Japanese man

#

Which is weird considering his best friend was Smokey

#

Personally glad just to see some Shonen characters of beards

#

Joseph looks like he’s in silver fox Mode

#

Oh world war two that’s enough reason a Japanese

#

Do you live through it in some fashion or lost somebody to it

#

They where as bad the Nazi if not little worst.

#

Also considering how the series views the SS😓

#

I will wait till I get there

#

He’s flat out killing Jews probably off screen

#

The Schutzstaffel (SS; also stylized as with Armanen runes; German pronunciation: [ˈʃʊtsˌʃtafl̩] (listen); literally "Protection Squadron") was a major paramilitary organization under Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party (NSDAP) in Nazi Germany, and later throughout German-...

Jotaro

So far keep on doing wilder stuff

#

What is a tension but not necessarily the one in the park two

#

There I got a wait until he get his ass kicked

#

Hamon user are gone it look like

If my math is correct Joseph is looking like that and he 65

wintry rampart

primal furnace
#

What meme

#

What I like about this one is the least the women are reacting how beautiful men are

#

Maybe it was the nature of the first two what they were dealing with interacting with that they never had that crazy female attraction after them. Because both Jonathan and Joseph are beautiful men

jolly mirage
#

Do you have the jojoniums or just reading the scans?

#

I like reading your reactions lmao

#

then the anime added to it with "kakyoin thought to himself"

soft grail
#

I didn't realize that until you just said it. He really did only interact with Erina.

jolly mirage
#

barely any girls in part 1 tbh

soft grail
#

A lot of characters are still unnamed to this day.

primal furnace
#

Jonathan only interacted with Erina

near starBOT
#

@primal furnace, Your Gangstar cred is now level 8 !

primal furnace
#

I have jojomiums

soft grail
#

Sweet

primal furnace
#

I been buying them on the kindle

soft grail
#

Didn't know they were also sold on the Kindle.

primal furnace
#

Download the scans for the rest and just buy them when they come out

#

Yep

jolly mirage
#

jojoniums are literally the best manga edition I've ever seen

primal furnace
#

From phantom blood to startdust crusaders

#

When I get back from deployment I will get the physical copies

jolly mirage
#

if it's your first time reading be aware this channel is full of spoilers

primal furnace
#

But you got understand I’m going into this series completely blind I got hooked on the first one

#

I can’t quit quantify what I find so appealing about the series

jolly mirage
#

Stardust Crusaders was what actually hooked me but I liked the first 2 as well

#

After SC I couldn't stop reading

primal furnace
#

It’s not necessarily a Rich the narrative or anything but it’s something that so utterly genuine about it that oozes out of it pours

soft grail
#

I remember I read the SC manga in 9 days because I was so invested in the series.

primal furnace
#

See I started with part one and I feel that’s the best way to go about it

#

So weird to me people do it out of order

jolly mirage
#

for sure yeah

#

makes it all so much better

primal furnace
#

reading and how it’s published and seeing how it builds it’s a wonderful feeling

jolly mirage
#

you actually see araki improving too

#

especially later in the series

primal furnace
#

Yes! You already started off really beautiful where comes to the drawing

jolly mirage
#

he takes what makes part 1-3 good and makes other parts amazing

primal furnace
#

It weird they shifts to stance to me

jolly mirage
#

stands?

primal furnace
#

Yeah that

#

It kinda like Pokémon right now they’re fighting the chariot guy

#

Feel like you’re just gonna be capturing stand user from dio

jolly mirage
#

it was my reaction too at first

#

but araki goes so all out with it

#

it's so much better than hamon imo

primal furnace
#

And it’s an interesting twist how dio is using Jonathan’s body

#

The OG JoJo

soft grail
#

Stands were introduced for more creative abilities and musical references.

jolly mirage
#

Araki first wanted part 3 to end the whole series

primal furnace
#

I like hamon

jolly mirage
#

so it's like an epic final conclusion

primal furnace
#

I hope they do not get completely relegated to trash bin

soft grail
#

Unfortunately yes.

primal furnace
#

It’s weird I been told by friends mind you they don’t ruin things for me but tell me after six at the reboot

#

Which is shame

#

That they relegated to meaningless

#

When it so huge in the first two part of the series

#

I figured he would try to harmonize the two

jolly mirage
#

I feel like araki did everything he could with hamon in part 2

primal furnace
#

part seven and eight are in a completely different universe

#

I don’t know it’s a strange get rid of it

#

When it’s so huge in the first parts of series

jolly mirage
#

it paid off imo

soft grail
#

Careful. We can only talk about parts 1-3 here.

jolly mirage
#

yeah and that

primal furnace
#

The Pillar men are the best so far

#

They’re not necessarily the most amazing villains but their battles were just awesome

#

They were just over the top but Joseph had to get really creative

#

When he got lucky it made sense

#

It weird they try to play it off like he died for five seconds

#

And twist that lisa lisa was mother is interesting

#

Did not see that coming

#

Until seen photos

jolly mirage
#

I personally don't like the luck twists that part 2 has

#

That's part of jojo as a whole but part 2 is just too much

#

Joseph is amazing though

primal furnace
#

I enjoy it and makes him come off like the most human character so far

jolly mirage
#

You'll see that in part 3 araki is still figuring out how stands will work and how to structure the fights

#

by part 5 especially he masters it

primal furnace
#

So if you wanted to stop at three why did you keep going

jolly mirage
#

me?

#

I didn't want to stop at 3

#

3 hooked me hard in the series

primal furnace
#

Interesting he said that here

#

And Jotaro is inspired by Clint Eastwood😆

jolly mirage
#

have you seen clint eastwood doing the pose Joel?

primal furnace
#

No The referencing dirty harry

#

I grew up with my mom show me the good and the bad and the ugly

#

Omg

jolly mirage
#

from jojoveller I think

primal furnace
#

Does he realize he’s an inspiration for manga in Japan

#

Clint Eastwood one of the most conventionally masculine actors

jolly mirage
#

ye he even met Araki and all

primal furnace
#

Really

jolly mirage
#

yep

primal furnace
#

The only imagine that

#

Meeting

#

#

Araki does not age

potent burrow
#

He is a vampire

#

That’s so adorable though

warm orchid

#

Araki seem like a big fan of west

you'll see by part 4

#

man loves the west

potent burrow
#

Somebody needs to add tbe Stardust Crusaders main theme over that Dirty Harry scene

primal furnace
#

Omg yes

potent burrow
#

@primal furnace Listen to the main theme

primal furnace
#

What’s funny too I thought he was gay and I looked up online he’s married with kids

#

Because he draws really really beautiful men

potent burrow
#

beware of spoi bois in the comments

#

Have any of you read Araki's book?

primal furnace
#

I noticed both of the first Jojo’s are English

#

This Mt first Least as manga goss

jolly mirage
#

there are more western jojos than eastern ones lmao

#

never heard of that

#

sounds more like part 1 tbh

#

@primal furnace you know there are colored scans out there right

#

just to make sure

#

people get confused cause it starts in america I guess

potent burrow
#

Didn't the salesman mention how Joseph had a british accent?

#

Smokey also did

jolly mirage
#

jotaro shows up at the end of s1

#

covered in shadows

#

oh idk then

#

Wow he actually looks like a human being and not a big wall

this HxH arc is just a big jojo reference honestly

#

Curious is the dub good?

potent burrow
#

I can't watch dubs because it just feels off

#

for some reason

meager spade
#

it's very well casted

#

the script is just mediocre tho.

#

so everyone sounds like they should, but they don't say everything they should

primal furnace
#

Also Joseph is the most Jack to 65-year-old I think I see you any comic

#

I think I will watch dub

#

Plus may look funky to me to see a bunch of Englishmen speak Japanese

potent burrow
#

there are two japanese men in there

primal furnace
#

Talking about the first two

#

And I do you honestly want to hear Joseph speak Japanese with a incredibly English accent

#

So this is a bit of a transformation

potent burrow
#

Just keep reading lol

primal furnace
#

Stardust is great do not get me wrong But it’s definitely the monster of the week

#

I take it the big finale is going to be at Egypt

potent burrow
#

There's a very interesting event coming

primal furnace
#

Captain of being stand user

#

Or least the fact captain just go thernaisu

meager spade
#

why tf u reading black n white

primal furnace
#

Because I bought it and it’s glorious

#

Seen the color and I’m not impressed

primal furnace
#

My question is how stereotypical are we talking here

#

Honestly it’s been a slow burn fleshing out the female character so far

#

I love lisa lisa she is just so so so badass!

primal furnace
#

Also I’m realizing all these characters at least so far in every part they should absolutely be covered in scars for the amount of wounds they Receive

#

When I see characters like this I think about what was their life before this moment

#

Did they wake up today think he going to get his face slice off by some curse

#

Honestly I think about it he at best looks like he’s in his late 30s and he’s in his mid 60s yet his hair is blond it gone from black to blond

jolly root

I kinda prefer

#

So my friend isn't enjoying Part 3 but doesn't wanna skip parts.

#

How can he get around that?

wanton turret
#

nothing to get around if that's his attitude

#

if he doesn't want to skip parts, then he better suck it up and slog through

deep lava
#

True.

#

I had an issue w/ Part 3's pacing but focusing on the characters & the hype of the last few fights in general helped me through it.

potent burrow
#

Reading the manga is a solution

deep lava
#

Oh true.

#

I want to persuade him though cause not seeing Za Warudo animated is a sin.

#

Same w/ missing out on the openings & emotional moments in the second half.

potent burrow
#

Is he still on season 1?

deep lava
#

If I recall, yeah.

potent burrow
#

The friend I recommended it to loves it

#

He pushed through SC no prob

#

another one stopped by Anubis

#

It's just a matter of how much it entertains you. Happened to me with AoT and BNHA, I watched them to fit in so it was pretty hard to go through

#

The villain of the week format was bad

deep lava
#

Personally I wasn't big on the villain of the week formula but preference.

#

In hindsight though I would've enjoyed Part 3 if I had a more mature mindset cause looking back if I focused less on the # of fights I could pick up on the creativity & bizarreness of them.

potent burrow
#

In a later part it's kind of the same

#

but they have immeadiate objectives

#

other than just to push on

deep lava
#

(I read 7/8 parts so I kinda infer what you mean).

#

*Which part you mean.

potent burrow
#

5

deep lava
#

While I will say Part 3 anime isn't my favorite I'd be lying if I said it didn't have its memorable af moments.

#

And characters.

#

Joseph's Engrish, the hump scene, DIO being a mood, getting turned into kids, Jotaro's one liners, the 4th wall break.

potent burrow
#

I win! Part 3 is over!

quick sage
#

Part 3 anime is like probably the worst adaptation of part 3 imo they made it way full of comedy like manga was way better and id say as far as to say the OVA was probably better i mean the dio fight vs jotaro is like in the OVA they made it actually scary anime was like bas boosted earrape for time stop you can say in the OVA it was kinda like farts but it was more scarier than the anime theres no doubt in that

potent burrow
#

I only appreaciated Part 3's format when I tried to make some stands of my own

#

It's hard, boys

quick sage
#

I'll be honest part 3 is my favorite part after that part 5
i really liked it just because of the manga really

#

now add on hftf on top of that

potent burrow
#

Nice DIO btw

quick sage
#

thanks

potent burrow
#

Part 3's my favourite

#

Still have to reread Part 5

#

so take my opinion with a grain of salt

deep lava
#

Not gonna lie though I liked Za Warudo in the ainme though.

#

*anime

pine mist
#

part 3 is alright, and it’s excusable because it’s araki‘s first time dealing in stands

#

I don’t mind it’s not that good in comparison

I love hftf voice acting

deep lava
#

@wintry rampart As for your message I loved the SFX, visuals, concept and how he says Za WArudo.
memey but personality.

it was a fairly simple intro to the concept of stands for araki and for us

I love when DIO says za warudo in the game

the second ZA WARUDO (with Joseph and jotaro on the street) was one of the most cool moments in the anime so far
