This was one of the funniest and most enjoyable episodes thus far. I absolutely had to watch the intro twice in a row, it was so good. xD

The introduction of Stands in Part 3 makes the battle much more amazing and creative, the characters of Part 3 & 4 are some of the best in the series, and Part 7 is the absolute best Part.

So much fabulousness, I approve very much. I already love the interactions between Joseph and Caeser, so definitely looking forward to more of that.

And besides, Part 8, in the direction it is going, has potential to be the best one.

I think he is trolling hard. I mean what is a JoJo without fundamentally insane powers. That is what keeps the writing fresh. Combined with the fact that main characters constantly die, Jojo's really sets the tone for battle manga.

He keeps on babbling about pseudo this and that, but I don't think he knows what he thinks it means. Araki is never really deep about themes and instead focuses on solid stories. If you are accusing him of that than by all means, he is guilty. Not everything should be like Eva.

Seriously, just because most here appreciate Jojo doesn't mean each must like every part in the same order. Take a good look at yourselves, different opinion = trolling? Too bad I'm starting to hate the fandom, don't spoil it.

+1 to potplant.

What fluffybunnyboy says is simple:

The problem with Steel Ball Run is that it takes itself too seriously, and tries to be philosophical and deep, when in fact it's just a simple history with some plot holes. It's too pretencious.

For example, I love Diamond Is Unbreakable. And it's not like the plot is perfect, it has a lot of mistakes, but I don't care, and if somebody asks I would say "because Araki". And that's because it isn't a manga that you should take too seriously, it is a light series to relax and enjoy, and it's really good from that point of view.

But since the moment Steel Ball Run tries to be serious and deep, I just can't keep forgiving mistakes in the plot. I have to judge it by other terms. And that's why it is worse.

The name is actually written "Esidisi".

Wham - Wammu
Cars - Kars.

All of them and a huge lot of JJBA characters are named after bands or musicians, by the way.

Are you somehow implying 90% of all male watchers aren't already gay for Joseph/Dio/Ceasar/Cars/ACDC/Wham/Speedwagon/[male character X]?

Awwwn, man, as soon as Mark said that he was fianced, it was too much of a death flag, he was already dead :/

That new Caesar is hilarious, totally at the opposite of JoJo.

The pigeon trick was great, came out of nowhere xD

The new trio seem really powerful. Dat head drill, when Gurren Lagann is leaking :P
Also, I'm sure that we'll hear about Santana again in the future episodes.

Next episode, Caesar and JoJo are pumped, it will be a showdown!

Those poses were just FABULOUS, this show can go from comedy to dead serious in an instant and pull it off well. its nice to see that each generation of Joestars and Zeppelis are completely different in terms of attitude.

I loved the early exchanges between Jojo and Cesar. Gotta love the camp.
