----------------------------------------
It was pretty tense with the soul chips. The mind games were clear and loved Jotaro's confidence in this.

Looks like D'arby has some doubts about his own skills. His panicking behavior was amusing to watch after losing his cool and as well as having fears. Glorious ending and quite a fitting one for D'arby's end. Glad to see everyone's souls return.

That was an epic bluff by Jotaro. He got that guy unconscious. I was wondering why his mouth his censored and it took me long to realize that he was smoking lol.

That was frigging awesome, had me on the edge of my seat, Jotaro's bluff was amazing.
However: that censorship though, ruined the mood a teeny tiny bit

Obligatory "OVA'S EPISODE WAS BETTER" post.

But no, really, it was good but could have used a little more tense music around D'Arby's crazies.

Is it good though darby? Your fingers at a 90 degree angle, that doesn't seem too good.

Anyway I knew as good as a gambler as he was, he couldn't beat jotaro at poker since he has the best poker face ever, and as I thought he got BLUFFED TO DEATH. I mean, with all that asphalt all over his face he could hardly see him at all!( Seriously though I really like that david pro treats the censoring as silly as the source material, I'm so glad they're in charge of this adaption)

Man, if only kaiji had star platinum, it wold have made everything so much easier for him.

Next week HOL HORSE BOINGO BROTHERS?!!?! Hype has reached maximum velocity

Jesus effing christ, that was some heavy breathing from D'Arby. Also, Jotarou is so good at keeping a poker face.

Greatest line today:- "R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-RAISE?!"

Looks like some DIO next week. Looking forward to it.

Mother. Fucking. Jotaro. Holy shit, he's even more of an evil mastermind than D'Arby :D
Man, casually smoking a cig, then sipping a drink while looking at him like the casual fuck he is... I almost feel bad for D'Arby, lost his mind for a the sake of a broken pair of cards... GOOD!

Looks like they had to cut corners in order to properly animate the cards and shuffling (which was pretty good)?


I counted 3 shots where they showed the ceiling for no apparent reason, instead of things like Avdol sitting down animated.

There was also the weird repetition of the shot of the building (complete with the go go go sound effects) and the note with Kakyoin's soul; that shot was repeated twice.

Finally, that sketchy look they had near the end of the episode, when D'Arby caves in. You could say that it was just an artistic take on it, but since David Production never, EVER put something out like this before, I'm inclined to believe they did it because of time/budget restraints.


Don't get me wrong though; I enjoyed the episode. I still thought it was fairly well done, apart from the things I mentioned. Feels like they busted out a whole different side to the OST for these last 2 episodes.

I rewatched OVA episode right after anime episode and what I can say: episode was better than OVA in almost every point except two things: Jotaro's voice and camera roll (err... I forgot how it's called in English, sorry ) after cigarette and before juice. As for the D'Arby's voice... It's practically the same. Yes, I'm serious. This one's Engrish more noticable and hammy, though.

Oh, and boy's design is better in OVA.

The Jotaro poker face is hard to beat. Specially with that censorship covering more than half of it in one go.

I kind of familiarize that new OST that plays at the beginning , I feel like it is a remix of an one of the way old Egyption records . Or maybe I am imagining it , anyway It's pretty awesome.

That was crazy even by JoJo standards. Until the last moment I thought he switched his cards with Star Platinum but I could not imagine DÁrby would be scared shitless.

Also, this censorship was really weird - for a moment I thought Jotaro's face had gone dark to intimidate his opponent but it was just a cigarette. IT's funny how they can show broken bones and lost souls but they are afraid to show smoking.

After the intense couple of episodes, it looks like we are going back to comedy next week with the one and only Hol Horse.

and D'Arby's last minutes facial expressions are priceless
10/10 episode

and FYI, it's been some kind of regulation in Japan that you can't show underaged kid smoking on television (reminder that Jotaro is 17 y/o)

Jotaro is so friggin' badass; wagered everything he could and bluffed on worthless cards and still ended up winning! So boss! >.<

D'Arby was indeed terrifying, but just lost his cool at the end. That seizure though.. XD

Great episode! Hol Horse's return with a new character next week should be interesting.
