If J.P`s stand is fast enough to create shadow clones ,I would think that he would be better off using that speed to thrust the sword at Abdul without giving him a chance to block or dodge or counter attack. Either that or go around and attack from the side or behind.

That seems more effective to me. Anyway, nice fight scene. Enjoyed it.

Silver Chariot is just straight up menacing. Most of the main character Stands in SC are, but the look in Silver Chariot's eyes always gets me. The deep bags under them make it look so furious and creepy.

The way the fight concludes is a pretty good sign of the brutality that's to come, "here's a knife, kill yourself".

There's no way they would have shown Pet Shop there if they weren't planning to include one of the best fights in the arc. Status: Hype

Maybe I'm a bit behind because I don't go on MAL too often to update, but anyone else notice that it's at 24 episodes right now for an episode total? Judging from where they're at in the manga, it's gonna be at least two seasons unless they really cut the fat on some of the fights (which I highly doubt they will).

If they aren't cutting
then my bet is that they won't cut any of the fights. Not even

I'm kinda like yay and nay on them doing this. I like that they're following the manga through to give each stand it's showcase. But at the same time I'm worried that it will take a while to finish and characters I'm excited to see
are gonna be in the wings for a while.

Also since we're already seeing some big edits with Petshop I was wondering:

I have no idea what`s so fuss about part III. So far its monster of the week with pokemon-like stands(I can bet emerald green is the name of one of these countless pokemon games...). And new JoJo is unlikeable human trash (noone in his sane senses will call his mother bitch). Guess this time I will be Dio supporter.

Dont get me wrong, anime is still enjoyable and some changes are for better. For example it got rid of Goku-trope(hint: only main hero is useful, rest are shamful jobbers). New setting is also nice.

Are you implying that Part 1 and 2 had support characters that were useless? *cough Stroheim, Speedwagon
And no, Jotaro is not trash, you should have understood already that in truth he's kind-hearted, he cared about Holly, remember that time when he asked how she was doing? Remember when he was pissed off because Holly fell ill? Remember how he risked his life to get the parasite off from Kakyoin? Anime did a lot better in showing Jotaro's kind-heart more than the manga. (so far of course)

SC uses furry swipes (on statue)
MG uses fire blast
SC ability shed skin heals burn
SC uses double team
MG uses flame thrower - attack misses
SC uses double team
MG uses future sight (fire blast edition)
SC uses scratch
future sight hits critical hit
Avdol wins
Polnareff is burned
Avdol uses full heal on Polnareff
Polnareff joins party

Pirmo, they were useless in fights, that was what I meant. A supportive character never won any fight besides those with zombies.
Secundo, hopefully bolded statement is true. So far he is clearly unlikeable.

Yes, they are useless in fights, that's why Joseph was able to defeat Santana because of Stroheim's help. Or didn't Stroheim saved AGAIN Joseph's ass during the crash on the Vulcano? Dude, saying that the support characters are useless in JoJo is the dumbest thing you could say, trust me on this. There are some supp.characters that are even more relevant than MCs.

Secondary, as I've already proved to you, Jotaro shows some good points already. If you still don't like it, that's your call then, wait and see.

Do you know what Goku-trope is? The one who win the fights is always Goku/Jojo. Other my help but they never win(Baron Zeppeli was easily trashed, Lisa Lisa was nothing but a joke, Dire was laughable, Messina and Longins were one-hit creps). Well Ceaser almost did it... but no, it must be Jojo to get rid of any significant bad guy. Don`t tell me this is a good plot development.They were useful, but when fight started they are just underpowered as f%#$.

I guess you failed to watch the previous 2 episodes where secondary characters defeat the enemy then? In fairness you have a point for the first two parts, but that is but a sliver of Jojo and things take a drastically different direction than "only Goku/Jojo can win" stuff.

Yeah, I get what you mean regarding the "Goku" trope, thankfully the series does a much better job here on out of balancing it's cast.

JoJo, especially in the first two Parts is pretty weak on this thing, it's true. But you have to understand that PB and BT were made in 1987-1989, the mentality was completely different than now, and Araki himself was still naive and not that knowledgeable, with the passage of time though he improved himself and the manga. Anyway, it tried its best to be more original than others Battle-shounens, just to make two example, it was unthinkable of that time to make a MAIN character of a manga not Japanese, and what's even more brave is letting that MC die in the end.

TL;DR
It's true that in the end Joseph and Jonathan defeated the main villains but these support characters aren't by no means, useless characters. It only gets better, from Part 3 onwards, you'll be surprised by how much relevance Araki gives to a lot of secondary characters. (not to everyone of course, because that's impossible)

But I do get what you're saying. Allowing main characters other than the lead protagonist to win battles was a great change that Stardust Crusaders brought in.

In DBZ's defense, I don't think it's a 100% fair criticism to be leveled at it, since characters other than Goku were allowed to win some of the battles.

Anyway. The Polnareff v. Avdol fight looked amazing, damn the colors switch was perfect. I'm loving Polnareff right now : he's basically encapsulating all the stereotypes about French men, lol (and a cool reference to Michel Polnareff). Also dat freaking pose, man : http://i.imgur.com/KlNKc60.jpg How much cooler can you get?

Oh Jojo, still thinking you're too cool for them bitches ? What a stud.

Comedy was great this episode ! Can't wait for next week.

I actually noticed this pretty early on. What's more is, not only is the MC not japanese, but pretty much no one was. Obviously it changed with Jotaro (I guess this explains why this arc is more popular?) but I did enjoy that aspect. I mean, even right now most of the cast is not Japanese. Infact it's only Jotaro, and that's pretty much unheard of in anime.

Polnareff's Stand looks so OP in the beginning of the episode. He was so BA when he displayed his Stand's power. The follow up standoff was so good.

The fight itself was awesome. That OST in between the fight so dramatic and phenomenal. O-o Both of them fought on equal footings but Avdol turned out to be victorious due to his experience in fighting.

Polnareff is indeed a chivalrous man. dem feels when he accepted to die by burning like a proud warrior but glad that Avdol and Jojo saved Polnareff.

I lol'd when Joseph was disgusted by the tentacles from Dio's bud.

Fuck that bastard with two right hands. That bastard raped Polnareff's sister and then killed her. What a disgrace. I hope Polnareff will take revenge.

I wonder if Polnareff's amazing pose is possible to intimidate by humans when he declared that he wants to seek retribution lol.

That was a sudden change from Polnareff's part. But dem lovely thighs though. I'm liking Polnareff's characters. ^^

Haha, that's funny cause my girlfriend and I have been watching Part 3 together and when Kakyoin showed up she was like "Is he Finnish? He looks Finnish."

As for the episode I thought it was fantastic. Best animated fight so far and makes me really excited to see how they handle some of the crazier fights later on.

What makes me really excited about this episode is now we're done with all the intro stuff pretty much. All of the "main" crusaders have joined, we've gotten through all the content in the PVs and it's all fresh new material here on out. Can't wait!

Speaking of teh OST, Kakyoin's theme is really good, a lot better than the one from ASB. Polnareff's matches the whole "Knight/Honor" theme he has with Silver Chariot and his motive.
