| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Damn, that was intense, more than I had expected  Really loved the Egyptian themes this episode. Polnareff's fight against Anubis was pretty fun to watch with the pacing. The OST used in this episode was catchy too. Lol, the rats. That ending gave me the thrills. |
 |
| A few small additional scenes at the beginning make for a better introduction to the upcoming fight against Anubis (even though it makes Pol Pol seem a bit dumber), that once again emanates the menacing atmosphere we came to expect from most Stands. And just as expected, the fight looks very good albeit a few uses of 3d CGI. The next half of the episode is a bit slower and deals with the 'aftermath' of the Stand fight, slowly leading up to the reveal of Anubis' other abilities. Next up: The conclusion of the fight. |
| Jojolion anime when? |
| I think this is one of the weaker parts of the Egypt arc (personally it's my least favorite), but it's still pretty entertaining because sword fights. I'm looking forward to the fight in the next episode though. |
| That is one interesting sword. Iggy is definitely wary of it. Can't wait for the next episode. |
 |
| Good ep. I give them props on the fight I really enjoyed seeing that in motion. I'm looking forward to the conclusion of this! Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| Polnareff vs. Anubis was pretty awesome, particularly that secret technique of Chariot! Pretty neat way to take down the opponent, though it's a bit risky. For a moment, I thought Anubis would try to manipulate Polnareff too. That would've been a nice twist. Decent episode. Looks like Polnareff will take care of Anubis once again by himself next week as well. |
 |
| Jotaro reading a magazine about marine life in the barbershop was a nice touch. |
 |
| Well we got a BA Polnareff this ep. But I just can't get over how much he lets his guard down <_< It gets annoying. I wonder if Jotaro will save Polnareff or he'll get out of it his self. Anubis seems quite awesome :3 Loved Chaka at first. |
 |
| Polnareff and Jotaro in the barbershop was one of the most tense scenes I've ever witnessed. |
| There was a lot of Iggy filler in this episode. Not that that's a bad thing.

| Not that it was a long fight but it was well executed indeed. Animations and OST ++. That satisfied face of Iggy cracks me every time. Tomino said: Jotaro reading a magazine about marine life in the barbershop was a nice touch. Yeah, that was pretty funny to see. |

| I really like the stand anubis. good episode |
 |
| I've been wondering something about Silver Chariot lately. Is that sword projectile it's ability? Or is armor removal its ability? |
 |
Dragonage2ftw said: I've been wondering something about Silver Chariot lately. Is that sword projectile it's ability? Or is armor removal its ability? Silver Chariot's ability speed and precision. The armor removal is just an extension of its speed, just as its "Shooting the Sword" is an extension of its precision. The main characters, unfortunately, have rather basic Stands in Stardust Crusaders. Later parts fix this. |

It's why I was confused. Also, aren't speed and precision something that some stands just have in addition to their power? |
| |
| Holy shit. The scenery porn. The atmosphere. The choreography. David Productions could not possibly have gotten the Chaka battle more right.  David Productions confirmed for best studio ever. |
| A truly brilliant adaptation. |
| Oh god who are you people? |
Dragonage2ftw said: Also, aren't speed and precision something that some stands just have in addition to their power? I'm not quite sure what you mean by that, but a Stand's stats are measured in six aspects. * Destructive Power * Stamina * Precision * Speed * Range * Developmental Potential The main characters do tend to get fast Stands that hit hard, but have poor range if that's what you mean. |
| The 'ol sword in the stone bit huh. Decent episode. |
 |
| The shaving scene was some tense stuff. Anyone who'd been in that position realizes the incredibly vulnerable position you're in. Looking forward to seeing how Polnareff get's out of this one. |

| Pretty good episode. More Polnareff is always good, and we got some Joseph Engrish, too. |
| Anubis is probably my least favorite fight of Egypt. It's not that I dislike it or anything, I like it better than most of the pre-Egypt stuff, I just don't like the Polnareff deus ex machina of suddenly being able to shoot the sword (kind of like Jotaro suddenly being able to use Star Finger during the Dark Blue Moon fight). And I guess I just love the other fights more because of how crazy and unique they are. However, that having been said, this episode was absolutely FANTASTIC as an adaptation. They could not have done a better job animating the Chaka fight. The animation and use of 3D CGI were absolutely flawless. EDIT: Actually, without the Anubis fight, Chaka wouldn't be in Heritage for the Future. And since he's my main in that game, I love the fact that the Anubis fight exists xD |

| Oh Polnareff. Can never catch a break. |

| Nobody seems to take Iggy as serious as he deserves. A bit short of a fight but I loved the atmosphere around Anubis stand, the suspenseful threat, no bs just swordfight and all. That Joestar "no" must have been the funniest so far, so off beat. XD |
| DAMN !!! This was really really good!!! |

And I guess I just love the other fights more because of how crazy and unique they are. I dunno. I can forgive Shooting the Sword, since it has a legitimate reason for Polnareff to not have used it up to this point. That and Polnareff has had his Stand a lot longer than Jotaro has had Star Platinum, so it stands to reason that he'd have a few tricks that he could do with it. |
| You know I was joking when I said after the strength fight that if an orangutan could have a stand then why not inanimate objects? They didn't even wait until the next part to break out a sentient sword stand that possesses people to do its bidding. And all this right after oingo boingo, it goes to show how great JoJo is when it can go from silly to serious so fast and not be a mess tonally |

Hobgoblin2099 said: Whaaat? Anubis was one of the best Stands in Egypt for me. I don't like how the stand users aren't memorable, and there's not much that makes the fight sequences stand out from the pre-Egypt fights. Unlike all the other Egyptian gods, where the users are all memorable and the powers are much more creative. Makes for way better fights than the pre-Egypt stuff. I think this whole part could have been a lot cooler though. Seems almost like a waste to have it just be a sword used by some random guy with little personality and then a barber with even less personality. |

Oh come on Anubis has a character of his own , and probably this is my favorite episode by far |

| Jojo just the way I like it. The best episode so far in this season, it was fun and made me laugh unlike the first 3 crappy episodes. The stand is cool but i'm disliking how they are making it more obvious that something is a stand and how the crew still don't expect a stand to be any object or material. |
 |
| To be fair, this is the first Stand they've met that actually has the ability to separate from its user. For all Polnareff knew, that guy had a Stand that let him cut through objects with his swords. Kellhus said: Hobgoblin2099 said: Whaaat? Anubis was one of the best Stands in Egypt for me.

It's rather straightforward. |

He is standing on a pillar and talks about popping up from the ground I was already confused there and suddenly he is standing on the ground. I watched the scene a few times and it just looks like a huge animation error? How come noone is talking about this? What are you talking about? Polnareff jumped on top of a pillar to not get ambushed by Chaka. When Chaka cut the other pillar to attack Polnareff, he launched his blade. He's still standing on the pillar at this point. Then Chaka and the pillar he cut crash down to the ground, and Polnareff jumps off the pillar he was standing on. I really don't see how thought he was suddenly standing on the ground O_o |

sullynathan said: you can't exactly blame the guys, they've seen some pretty fucked up stand users, but all of em were living breathing mammals. An independent sword stand is pretty out there. They're learning new stuff about stands every day (well, with exception of last week)Jojo just the way I like it. The best episode so far in this season, it was fun and made me laugh unlike the first 3 crappy episodes.

| Realllly hoping this doesn't become a 3 part episode... Also needs more *Zawa *Zawa |
