In all honesty would have much preferred to watched this over reading it...but Part 4's anime adaption has yet to be announced *sigh*

I'll try to read this till the end since it's considered the best JoJo but will be quick to drop this if I don't like it (if so I'll give it another try when the eventual anime adaption happens).

Hope this'll be as good as (if not better than) Part 2 and not terrible like Part 3.

Part 7 is considered the best part of JoJo though I mean look at its rating here on MAL.

Finally finished the first three parts, time for Diamond is Unbreakable! So far great start. Josuke didn't take long to become likeable!

5/5

You don't talk like that about his hair if you don't want your face rearranged.

Josuke's so hella swole in this that I was actually caught off guard by it. I definitely prefer the anime since it used the final designs and Morioh definitely deserves to be as vibrant as it can be.

Wow, early chapters Josuke was really buff. The anime kinda tones that down though.

Reading DUWANG Diamond is not Crash (cause reasons) :

Very strong chapter and introduction imo, plus the dialogue of those delinquents was hilarious!

I also really like Josuke as he is my favorite Jojo, and his power to heal things is a refreshing concept in a battle shonen and considering the other Jojo's before him.

Also how not to love that opening page with Guanglai Kangyi as he goes about his troubles, until he met these 2 very special guys..... I can't even.

Diamond is Unbreakable begins somewhat evocative of Stardust Crusaders! We have an older Jotaro searching for a younger relative, presumably with a mission in mind. In this way, he is taking up the role that Joseph did!

We have high school senior delinquents running rampant, a small POV kid not unlike Smokey to Joseph, and we have the reintroduction of Jotaro and the introduction of Josuke.

I thought it was interesting that Jotaro was stated to have become a marine biologist with famous studies, it was always hard to get into his head for me and it was hard to even imagine what he would do other than hang out around his friends and enact his own sense of justice. I'm curious where the marine biologist interest came from, and if I'm forgetting anything which contributes to it. It's a nice and unexpected layer anywho.

Josuke on the other hand was harder to read. He appeared gentle but courageous, if not a little bit eccentric, assuming he is truly afraid of reptiles and he was trying to conquer his fear. There was a sense of innocence and openness as well. However when hit, we saw composure in his eyes, there was no fear, it was as if he was calculating the situation. This unflinching look akin to calculation continued as the turtle was killed. This was only subverted when he showed his short temper and rage when it came to his hair. But lastly, to heal the turtle and presumably not leave too much damage on the bullies face, he showed that his compassion can at least overcome his phobia; maybe even his rage.

I got the sense that what he was calculating was how to get out of the situation with the least amount of damage, assuming he has a healing power, choosing to avoid and reduce damage rather than inflict it would be fitting would it not?

Diamond is unbreakable is BY FAR my favorite anime part so I'm looking forward to experiencing it again in manga form.

Josuke seems so scary in the manga version lol. Wow

I honestly didn't expect Josuke to look so buff lol. He looks a lot smaller in the anime. But I feel like this look suits him better considering that he goes into tough guy mode when people talk about his hair. He's kind of reminiscent of Jotaro in looks and anger with the exception that his base personality is that of a pushover. It's definitely an interesting concept to have a Jojo with a split personality. I don't know how he's going to grow on me. But I find his character design and (ironically) his hairstyle to be pretty interesting.
