| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Pretty exciting race :3 Damn, it looks like Jojo managed to damage Wham's eyes. Nice. Intense match is intense. Seems like Wham is being pushed to the limits in this race. The part with the hands didn't surprise me though with Wham. I can''t wait for Lisa Lisa's fight soon. |
 |
| The highly anticipated chariot race started and continued throughout the whole episode, ending with Wham revealing his special attack to Jojo. Good episode, although I expected a bit more. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |

| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| All characters are serious but why this fight is so hilarious? lolz |
  |
 I don't think this is suitable for children to watch xD |
| 5/5 for me. I watch the raw version. It was better than I expected imo. One of the key elements makes the fight so much fun, is that everyone plays a role. The key player, the commentor, the fodder, and us audience. It's like watching a sports event with your family and friends. Also you don't really have to force yourself to accept the participant info-dump. And that is what this fight so amazing. Although it isn't over yet. In other words HALF-TIME! |

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |

Although it isn't over yet. In other words HALF-TIME! It's more than half time, more like 5mins to go, 2 tries down. Wham is going to go for the razzle dazzle all-or-nothing play to snatch it back from defeat. |
| "I'll hammer you and the horse you rode in on!" "Stop. Hammer time." I love it... Someone please tell me Jojo is going to slip his hands into Wham's severed hands and use a ripple to control his veins/nerves and then just wear his hands like gloves, that would be so beautiful/clever/gruesome... or probably don't tell me cus I guess spoilers.. |
 |
| The chariot race was truly magnificent to behold. Twists and turns get churned out at a speed befitting the nature of it. |
 |
| Oh god that was good! I thought they were both going to die so many times! Good clifhanger |
 |
MorningGlory said: It's funny that you should post this, as I imagine that this is essentially the expression a vast majority of us had while watching :P. What is there to say about this episode? After the one where Caesar died it's easily my second favourite one to come out of this adaptation. As a few have noted (and you should really avoid reading the following if you don't want to be spoiled)... That aside the next few episodes will be a compelling watch, I really want to see what they do with the final fight :D. |
 |
| LOL @ dat GIF posted up there! The chariot race was pretty intense and really exciting to watch. And damn, dat ricochet was pure genius! Now Cars is alarmed that Wham will use that special attack on JoJo. Can't wait for next episode! |
| Woah the battle was pretty fast and I'm pretty sure it will end even before episode 26. Does that mean we get to see Grandpa Joseph :D |
| I watch gg to see how bad their translations can get, but are Nutbladder that bad as well? Thank god there are GetBack and MMM. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| Crazy battle as always. Jojo never failed to troll his opponent. By the look of it, part 2 will probably end before episode 26. Will be awesome if there is teaser for Part 3 before the series end. |
 |
| Really fun episode this week with more of what makes this show awesome or not depending on the point of view. JoJo really played the coward well this week haha |
| I was hoping they'd wrap the fight in this episode. Pretty cool despite the QUALITY |
 |
| Pretty amazing 5/5 |
 |
| It was an awesome episode, but where's Speedwagon's award winning narration? T_T |
 |
| Am I the only one who think that fighting with Joseph is not such a good idea? I mean not only he cheats (I wonder what his gentlemanly grandfather would have thought of his grandson), but always come up with some crazy trick to drive his opponent bananas, and then kill you. Wham my dear it doesn't matter how long you lived, the day to get trashed has come. |

| considering how easily he disposed off both Joseph and Caesar, I don't doubt his confidence |
| WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW Awesome Episode, Incredible Cliffhanger. One of the best episodes by far. |
| Hahaha first dubstep and now Sean Kingston o.o confused composer is confused Wham's arms shocked me but the explanation was pretty underwhelming "that's all?"..everything is just "I used a ripple" The ending scene was awesome though 4/5 PS: I hope final mode isn't some kamikaze explosion |

| Incredible battle. There's some extremely entertaining tricks played by both characters. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. |
| Amazing episode. 5/5 |

Instead of just going jeez, he used the ripple, think about how he used it in that situation. |
 |
| What a tense episode, this battle was amazing although it's not as good as I expected. I guess I love the clever tricks part of JoJo and it's hard to make them better than they are already. The ending got me by surprise, it looked like he exploded but there's no way it's just a simple suicide attack. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Really fun episode! Loved the whole chariot setup for this duel! To think JoJo would come up with something clever at the very start of this duel was expected!' The mental switch was damn hilarious, I was never expecting to see Wham that shocked due to his failure to see through JoJo's tricks. Sticking his eyes out and rely on a sensitiv horn from his forhead is just as insane I would have expected from this show. Looks like Wham ended the episode with the upper hand, and the fight will most likely conclude in the next episode and maybe we will see the start of the duel against Cars and our favorite dame Lisa Lisa! This show is just fantastic! Loving it so far! |
 |
| Finally got GetBack ver., Tenzinn audio wasn't sync. Another intense episode, unstoppable and that cliffhanger damm. i want to know what Wham is trying to do in manga arghhh im holding myself for another week. Loved the chat between Cars and Lisa. Lisa´s voice is so epic. Oh, is Jojo the first anime playing Dubstep? |

I don't get it: Why do you complain about everyone using an established system, when the use of the system itself is creative? Such a system is a common trope in action/adventure focused Shounen and here it's used rather well. |

I don't get it: Why do you complain about everyone using an established system, when the use of the system itself is creative? Such a system is a common trope in action/adventure focused Shounen and here it's used rather well. Because the established system is not a system, it's like Senju DNA, it's supposed to be the answer to everything but it really doesn't, because it's pretty shallow. There's no such thing as "I just used Nen, there's 4 basic types, 5 advanced types (so far), 6 sub-categories, versatility of each subcategory and combination of which and the fact that they work in an actual system makes for an endless amount of ideas. Systems that actually make sense and can explain things on their own: Nen, Alchemy, Death Notes. (hell even Jutsus and DF do a decent job) This is just a ripple, damage here, damage there, plot twist here and there, what to expect? A damn ripple (and a piece of cloth maybe), the explanation itself was lame. "I just wrapped it around you right before it happened lol". Shallow, not really elaborate at all, not smart... Same for the rock thingy, seriously? The surprise was that I didn't expect the ultimate lifeform (and the writer) to be so silly...I mean How's the use of the system is creative. |

| ^ What really surprises me is why you didn't bring this up in Phantom Blood, as the "Ripple System" was waaay more limited there. In some ways I do agree, the ripple itself is a simple combat system on paper, but the trick is the application the users utilise. Caesar fought with BUBBLES (be honest, how many other characters can you say do that?), Lisa Lisa enhances hers with her Ripple conducting scarf (increasing potency and range) and Joseph uses his along with his clever sleight of hands and outright trickery. I'd argue that its not the Ripple itself that is unique, so much as the its application that the Ripple users find for it that make it memorable. |

| @juusan@Redux the bubbles are merely a shape it takes though it might be so, but the applications are limited as well, pass it through liquids, special insect-y scarves sponsored by straits and something in-between, I'm talking specifically about Jojo's trick against Wham in this episode, you'd go and think about how he did that arm thingy and think of many possibilities then they go and say: "nope, ripple and cloth again!" and I'm like fuuuuuuuuu |

| Holy eyesquick Batman. That shit was about 10x grosser then the arms they had to censor haha. |
 |
| Pretty epic episode, that ending was superb! I wonder what will happen next, but it's pretty clear Jojo won it right? |
