| Outside of how Jotaro is a big step-down from Joseph as a protagonist and character development is pretty much non-existent (Polneraf being a possible exception) the biggest problem with this arc is that there are way too many fights. Nearly every single episode plays out exactly the same. The Crusaders go to a new location, encounter enemy stand, commence a lengthy fight that takes up the majority of the episode (sometimes two episodes), and then the Crusaders outsmart them and win or they just win by deus ex machima. Remember Star Finger? lol. Cut out some of the boring fights like Dark Blue Moon, and condense most of the multiple part fights into one episode and it'll fix nearly all the pacing issues with this arc. D'arby the Gambler, Pet Shop, Cool Ice, and of course Dio's World are still top-tier fights tho |

I think it has a strong start and everything in the second half/season was honestly really good and the final fight was awesome. But damn, the majority of fights in the first half were so...meh. I agree with litterally everything you said about the figths, pacing, weaker characters etc. I enjoyed part 1 and 2 way more. I know it's supposed to get better and I don't hate it or anything, I will come back to it but my God when I click on part 3 S2 ep1 and it opens with some wacky dog jokes and the immediate introduction of more monster of the week stand user shenanigans... Well I droped it like it was hot. I swear I will come back but God damn does it not need to be 50 friggin EPs long😅😅. |

The fights get so much better when they actually arrive in Egypt and you gotta push through Part 3 so you can get to Parts 4 and 5HakeemP said: Outside of how Jotaro is a big step-down from Joseph as a protagonist and character development is pretty much non-existent (Polneraf being a possible exception) the biggest problem with this arc is that there are way too many fights.

| I didn't mind the length at all. Quite the opposite. We got more time with the boys, which was the most my favorite squad out of all parts. Their antics and dynamics were hilarious. So yeah, Part 3 was really strong in the comedy department. Every episode was a banger. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |

It feels like it has a really good group dynamic & chemistry. One of the reason why i really enjoyed Part 3 as a whole is due to this strong camaraderie between the Crusaders, and this is especially prevalent in the first half of Part 3. |
| I understand people hate part 3 because of this. But for me, part 3 is the most fun part. I love the characters, the comedy is hilarious, cool fights. I don't mind part 3 being this long. I guess that's just my anime taste because I love monster of the week style. |
