Oh man, Gyro and Johnny just can't seem to catch a break these days. They almost get a corpse part, someone comes along and screws them over, and they're back to chasing someone else. At least Johnny upgraded his slick nail bullets technique.

that was one of the best episodes of the part 7! i'm almost breathless of all the events that happened. FINALLY, Johnny has found as a kickass character. i'm breathless.

is this manga worth reading?
if so, do i have to start from the very beginning? isn't it like 1000 chapters or something all in all? worth it :o?

Hell yeah, it's worth reading. This is quite possibly the most creative shounen action manga. EVAR. It's not cut from the same cloth as Dragon Ball (like Naruto, and such) but from Hokuto no Ken so you know it will be awesome.

You can begin reading Steel Ball Run since it is an alternate universe of the series. Both Part 1 (Phantom Blood) and Part 7 (SBR) are set in 1890 but have a different cast of characters. Some names are retained and a couple of story elements from the previous 6 parts but all in all, a newbie can jump straight to SBR.

totally agree with avarice. it's the same manga, same tradition, but it's a whole new experience. you can start with SBR.. if it does interest you, phantom blood will be waiting for ya.

Johnny just got really OP, liking the new power-up.
Haha Jesus Christ?! I suspected it but didn't think it would actually happen

The President puts a stop to the Civil War. How fitting.

More hax for Johnny, looks like he's even stronger than Gyro lol!
Civil War was a scary stand, Johnny seeing his father & hearing these things all over again must've been tough from an emotional standpoint.
Now here goes Mr. President.... Damn, sneaky bastard.

Johnny's power is pretty sick, particularly with him moving his finger and all. Oh, shit, the President showing up was kind of a surprise. His design looks so different now, not as pudgy?

Brilliant episode indeed. It was very intense and very emotional. Axel Ro is definitely a threatening an opponent, even when Johnny discovers this new hax ability. Slim Valentine came at the surprising moment just when Johnny was at a difficult moment whether to kill Axel or not. It just makes me wonder if Valentine did not shoot the latter from behind, how would the battle go uninterrupted?

One of my fav arcs in the series! I loved Johnny and Gyro having to confront there troubled past and the development Kohnny undergoes. My boy evolved and has become OP with Tusk (which has been a lame stand compared to other Jojo’s).

Nail bullets, aside from its bizarreness, were pretty "meh". Now, the new Tusk is OP. Amazing ability.

This was definitely one of the best arcs I've read, and the music goes well, too. Finally Araki referenced Guns n' Roses after he missed this opportunity with Holly in part 3.

It's aso interesting that Johnny basically died twice in this arc, is the new Johnny the same as before or not?

i still don't understand why the president shot axl. he could've just run away with the corpse, while axl and johnny were still fighting. in fact, this would have made things way easier for him.

decent arc. ending made no sense.

The plot twist at the end was marvelous! I thought it might've been Hot Pants who had somehow freed herself, but it was Mr. Valentine!

Man, this arc was great, no - each next arc is awesome and even better than the previous one. Can't wait to see the next one.

Personally I wasn't that much fan of this stand or the user (the design of it also was rather uninspiring), sense after having had a few chapters ago Johnny backstory it feels like it was just hammering in that guilt he feels. Also the idea of killing the user and transferring that same guilt to the killer while also being seemingly revived in the process seems a bit far-fetched, not to mention I doubt Johnny would have had felt any guilt for killing Axl Ro.
Either way there were some good aspects about the arc like Hot Pants backstory, Johnny character growth and the revelation that the saint is indeed Jesus Christ.

Just when nearly all the corpse parts have been gathered did the President decide to swoop in like a vulture to take the lion's share...

Tusk taking full advantage of the Golden Rotation's a sight to behold, though~

why did the president shoot Axl rose because Axl rose also became greedy because he got the corpse and the president better kill him so that no one knows the main goal of the president himself And keep in mind Axl rose is the president's assassin

Funny Valentine the type of president to waltz into a warzone pick up the corpse of Jesus Christ refuse to elaborate and leave. The best Jojo villian by far but honestly he's more of an antihero.
