| I felt really bad for Shigechi's death. The poor guy could been a greedy bastard, but Hell if his last moments weren't heroic. That moment when he said he wants to save his mama and his papa while being extremely injured totally get me. And worse of all, even his spirit died in that gruesome way. At least he accomplished something before perish ;_; Kira is amazing though. He has an aura of creepiness and death who makes him very intimidating. At the same time, I also find him funny considering his sick hand fetish and how he supposedly is not a noticeable man while wearing expensive clothes and looking like David Bowie >_> That Killer Queen looked beastly. The scene when the Stand gang reunited was cool. Poor Okuyasu though, even if Shigechi was greedy, he still appreciated him ;_; I wonder if anyone noticed how his father looks, considering he was walking in the middle of the city without being disguised at least. I guess it's JoJo after all. That cliffhanger, though. Wonder how this will turn out. |
 |
| This episode was easily the most shocking/darkest thing I recall seeing in this series so far. I keep looping that "about a third of your brain got mixed in with the flesh of your face" line in my head. Just thinking about that... x.x |
| Man, i didn't expect Shigechi's death to be this emotional. shit was downright sad.. like Jonathan's death in part 1 and Caesar's death in part 2 level of sad. the way he was talking about saving his "papa and mama" was cruelly innocent, it's like watching an innocent child dying. and what makes it worse is those whores who were insulting him right when he's FUCKIGN BLEEDING FROM ALMOST GETTING HIS HEAD CUT IN TWO and yet they decided to ignore the whole thing cause he's "creepy".. god, i wanna see those hoes dying a more brutal death than Shigech's. Yoshikage Kira is a great villain, we're only two episodes in so far and i can already see him dethroning Dio Brando and winning the title of "JoJo's best villain". |

In all fairness they were going to get a teacher I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not, but the last line from them was "No, just leave him alone, he's creepy. let's go." i guess it's precisely the fault of the bitch on the left since she's the one who said that. |
| Hands down the best episode of DIU so far and no that pun was not intended lmao I didn't even like Shigechi, but man that was intense & I actually felt sorry for him when Kira used Killer Queen and f**ked up his face so bad that part of his brain meshed with his skin...that is one nasty and extremely OP stand ability, especially in the hands of a serial killer. Yikes. +1 for the goosebumps I got when Shigechi's soul reached Reimi- that poor girl is cursed! It must be awful to have to go through that every time Kira takes another life. Was also pretty surprised that Kira remembered Reimi...maybe she was his first victim?? If he murdered her 15 years ago, that would've made him 18 at the time and I think she was 16- so yeh, looking forward to some context with that one. Ngl, I hyped like crazy when everyone gathered near the end there & with what went down I don't know how I'm gonna contain myself for a whole damn week!!! |

| Can't believe they killed off the little annoying kid... What a way to go. Fantastic episode, it's been a while since the gang has encountered an enemy as formidable as Kira and it's just making the situation very tense. Was good to see the previous encountered stand users. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| Kira has such a nice watch I'm just hoping it doesn't go unnoticed... |
 |
| I spoiled myself that Shigechi would die, but I thought that it would against the final battle with Kira. His death was worse than I imagined. I guessed before that Kira was going after Josuke's hot mom when needing a new lover and now I can say I called it. |
| Spectacular. Awesome. Superb. Gorgeous. I am so happy right now. They did justice to motherfucking Kira and Killer Queen. I think they skipped a couple of things like Kira killing that woman and his boyfriend but all the other stuff was amazing. This is my favorite villain of all time. He doesn't want to be powerful, he doesn't desire to rule the world, he doesn't want to beat anyone. Yoshikage Kira Only Wants a Quiet Life. |
| She's a Killer Deadly Queen, gunpowder, gelatin, dynamite with a laser beam, guaranteed to blow your mind. Anytime... This episode if it wasn't the best episode of JoJo adapted so far has to be in the top five at least. They kept the excellent tone from last weeks episode, vastly improved the animation quality, gave us a great soundtrack throughout (highlights being Kira's theme and Shigechi's death) and even began the Sheer Heart Attack arc right away. Also glad to see the Stand users or Morioh meet up and Jotaro's best outfit finally animated too. Waiting for next week's episode is going to be agony! |

| Fantastic episode, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, and here I thought Rohan's Heavens Door was terrifying then Kira's Killer Queen and its power is shown and I'm just blown away. Poor Shigechi :( that's a horrifying way to go out... |

| Holy fucking fuck, this episode. Shigechi </3 my feels for him went from 0 to 100 in one episode. All the 'mama and papa' talk plus that godly OST, too much...DP does it again. Might be one of my top 5 Jojo eps. |

Osaka117 said: Shigechi went out like a goddam hero. Fuck all his haters, he pulled a Kakyoin there sacrificing himself to help beat the main antagonist and protect his friends and family. Sure he could be annoying and childish, but that's because HE IS a child, a very young middle school child. Were you a well behaved mature person when you were in middle school? I'd bet not, so I think he gets way too much hate. I may have been going through something at the time, but there was no other time I had hated myself more than from when I was in middle school. I can agree on that. This is around where I feel Araki truly begins to hit his stride with this series. Hope to have minimal outsourcing from here on out, at the very least. |
| Always remember that anime is a niche medium in Japan. Manga sells way better |
Don1Joker said: Man, i didn't expect Shigechi's death to be this emotional. shit was downright sad.. like Jonathan's death in part 1 and Caesar's death in part 2 level of sad. It's mostly because you FEEL it once it's all animated and in motion. I remember reading abdul and iggy's death and thinking "that fucking sucks, man" and then when I saw it in the egypt anime the fucking music combined with polnareff screaming their names made me tear up. I felt the same way here because the way it all goes together, it made me realize shigechi died trying to protect his parents, the ones who he cares for the most. You also see that he tried to protect josuke and okuyasu from kira by not telling him shit. Despite his flaws, he was a hero. The worst part is knowing his parents will never truly know what happened to his son. |
| Definitely my favorite episode of part 4 |

JestemGosiek said: Never thought Shigechi's death would hit. In manga it wasn't as touching, ost really does wonders. Killer Queen looked nice, maybe KillMe Queen jokes will fade away just like Koichi pose. UH, it's still a gem in my eyes  I thought this episode was the most thrilling one yet. Especially the end with JoJo and Koichi in the shop. Damn, man's hand was blasted OFF/ Shigechi getting blown up within the first 2 minutes was a great relief but when he survived, then I felt really bad. |

| Why there is no 6/5 option ? This is by far the best episode in part 4 or even the whole jojo series. It was so intense. I hope we see Jotaro fighting kira in the next episode |

| Wow, Shigechi's death was brutal. Also, Kira is pretty cool. |
| Oh wow, Shigechi's death was epic. This show needs more of those. |

I'd bet not, so I think he gets way too much hate. He didn't sacrifice himself lol, he was already a dead man walking. He just had a last ditch effort to make sure his killer can be found. You are really adding more to this character than there is. |
| Sad but great episode. I actually like the way killer queen looks. You know that this episode marks a big turn in the series. Jojo definitely has realistic and great death scenes. Honestly this arc to me is really doing the series well. |
| Fantastic episode. Killer Queen looks amazing. That bomb ability is scary. Erasing your very existence. R.I.P Shigechi. So painful & brutal to see him suffer, even when his soul was moving on. The accompanying music worked really well. Everyone gathering was cool to see. Now to keep an eye out for the murderer. Jotaro & Koichi finding the suit, but a bomb going off. |
"I’ve set myself to become the King of the Pirates…and if I die trying…then at least I tried!" Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece) |
| I never really liked Shigechi but damn his death really hit me. Those damn bitches, that saw him bleeding and walked by. Hope they become one of Kira's victims... Part 4 is easily the best of Jojo so far. Kira by far over Dio. |
 |
| So Killer Queen can blow up anything he touches. And since Shigechi knew about Kira's hand fetish, he was blown up in two attempts. His existence was wiped off by an exploding door handle. They actually nekoing killed him. I did not see that coming. I expected him to take a beating but did not expect Kira to actually end up killing him. I'm not sure how to feel since I really didn't like Shigechi. In any case, Kira would be able to sleep well since he doesn't have to worry about someone who knows about his fetish being alive. And thanks to Shigechi, Kira now knows that these things which pop up when they need them are called stands and there are others with similar powers. Everyone gathering at the ghost girl's place was weird since they don't all know one another. For starters, no one other than Okuyasu and Josuke was acquainted with Shigechi. It felt weird everyone gathering after the demise of someone who's name they just heard right now. Then, apart from Rohan and Koichi, no one else saw the ghost girl. Apart from Koichi and Yukako, no one knows about the beauty parlor woman. Also, there really wasn't any reason for them to go to the ghost girl's place since they didn't know if Shigechi's death was related to that killer or not. It would have felt much better if Josuke and Okuyasu went to Jotaro only since he's the only person they can go to for help when there's a supposed stand user involved. But anyway, everyone now knows about the presence of a dangerous stand user with unknown abilities and they should be wary of him. Jotaro does some investigation into the button that Shigechi's last harvest brought to Josuke and they find out the shop which had that button and they even find Kira's coat there. That tailor sure was a weird one. Why did he want to look at the tag on the coat to tell them the name when he claimed that he knows the names of every one of his customers? And Kira shows up to get his coat back and he starts by blowing up the tailor and then attacks Jotaro and Koichi. Things are getting interesting as Jotaro has come across the deadly man who blows things up. Kira's Killer Queen is a formidable one. The questions are, can he blow up someone and/or stands by touching them? How does he need to touch something/someone to blow it up? Does he need to touch with his hands or is touching any part enough to do the job? Is there anyway to diffuse the bomb? These things are what Jotaro will probably consider before taking action after he learns about Killer Queen's blowing up powers. Also, Kira breaks up with his previous hand and gets himself a new one. The girl he goes after is rotten on the inside but beautiful on the outside. Does he always go for such females or is there no set criteria for the hands he dates? This Kira guy sure is weird yet somewhat interesting. |
Yamada2 said: Does he always go for such females or is there no set criteria for the hands he dates? This Kira guy sure is weird yet somewhat interesting. I imagine perfect opportunities to single out and murder young women in secret don't come by super often, especially for such a stickler for perfect crimes. Even with bomb kitty. |

Sirofcoffee said: Jotaro can stop time for about a second now, as he says in the first ep. Maybe enough to get a look, but not enough to get back to safety. Jotaro isn't someone who likes to take risks like that. Zapredon said: RIP Shigechi. A Stand group meet up. If only Jotaru can use The World longer, he could have finish Kira right there but he can't because he can only use for 1 second right now if I'm not mistaken right? that moment when Dio can lift someone up, carry them down a few stairs then walk back up to the top of the stairs to proceed posing 3 seconds, but Jotaro cant walk across the room and open a door or smply glance at the name tag and walk back in 1-2 seconds |
| "My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where the villas are, and i am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and i get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but i occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get 8 hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last checkup." |
| No matter how you feel about him, you can deny Shigechi's death is a real gut punch. Especially with the voice acting, his screaming soul dissipating was perfect. This episode was pure quality, that Killer Queen skull, that Sheer Heart Attack. DreadedOne said: Well Dio did have super speed and strength, thanks to being a vampire.Zapredon said: RIP Shigechi.

There is a lot of information that goes offscreen. It's obvious that Koichi would tell the others about Aya and her Stand. Also, Shigechi knew about Reimi, so it's safe to assume that Josuke and the gang must have told her story to every Stand user. Reimi probably arranged a meeting with all the Stand users to inform them about Kira. |
| Shigechi's death broke my heart. He was a brat but I had mad respect for him at the end. And when Jotaro stated the button was his final message for them, I had a flashback to Kakyoin's death... I'm going to go cry myself to sleep tonight. Oh, and also, I wish Jotaro had just stopped time to check the coat's tag and gotten them TFO of there but whatever. |
| Does Killer Queen explosion work different from normal explosion? How come no one hear any explosion sound when Shigechi die and all his flesh totally wipe out? I don't think normal explosion work that way. It almost as he decompose. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
Wasn't he a middle schooler? I'd imagine most middle schoolers to be that annoying lol. Well this episode made me super sad. :( Shigechi I will remember you well. |
Zapredon said: Does Killer Queen explosion work different from normal explosion? How come no one hear any explosion sound when Shigechi die and all his flesh totally wipe out? I don't think normal explosion work that way. It almost as he decompose. Killer Queen's explosion is a reflection of Kira's obsession in keeping his life a secret, so it doesn't leave any trace behind and there is no audible sound, as also doesn't affect any nearby object (not even the trigger). |
| I also thought that this was the best episode of this season of Jojo so far, how sentimentality, I was really sad by Shigechi and wanting to see Kira suffer enough before he died, I'm already looking forward to the next episode .. |
  |
Lol this post is the greatest. I went into this episode with lots of worries, turned out to be phenomenal. The fast pacing is very apparent, but still very effective. The investigation involving the button was solved quickly and managed to impressively set the tone for Sheer Heart Attack next week. Glad DP stepped their game up for this one. |

| 22 episodes, and we're still with that horrendous ending... Shame. |
| Anime was a mistake. Heil Manga. |
| i can't help but feel sorry for shigechi dude's just wanna protect his family from this sociopath also for those who asks why jotaro doesn't use time stop: he is being cautious of the tank bomb's ability. furthermore he knows jackshit about KQ's ability, for all he know it might be a stand which is immune to time stop ability. but most importantly, stopping time is really restraining for normal human Kyitt said: This episode was easily the most shocking/darkest thing I recall seeing in this series so far.
