| Koichi has some of that Plot armour I see, he be living for long then...maybe until the end? Kira once again shows that it doesn't only take power to be the most villainous of villains in JOJO but personality and quick thinking. |

| Whew...that was an intense episode. I always liked how suddenly who had the upper hand in this confrontation switched between the heroes and Kira, culminating in Kira getting away in one the most ingenious way possible given his situation. The heroes are at an even larger disadvantage now than when they started, as not only do they not know who's identity Kira took (outside of a few inferences they could make about it anyway), but Kira is now acutely aware of who they are and what their powers are too. Next week we'll meet Atom Heart Father... Helenus said: Ok, that's it! O cannot wait any longer and have to get hold of the manga. Usually I wait until an anime ends. But the suspense is kirring me! If you want to read the manga then the best place to do that is batoto, they have high quality scans in colour on their servers. All you need to do is make an account ;-). |

| Hands down the best episode so far. |
| >break your face that is >stardust crusaders plays they fucking did it dp nailed the ocd and co workers seeing Kira bloody limping, and no hand. He just wanted a quiet life. damn that was good |
 Possibly my favorite episode so far, just great stuff. |
Hitashi said: He was keeping tabs on them but he didn't know the abilities of Jotaro, Koichi, and Josuke's stands at least in this episode Aya used her Stand ability for her business, so there are some ways of knowing her ability(like asking her customers directly, observing the customers faces before and after they get in to the salon, etc). While the other Stand users you mentioned rarely use their Stand outside of Stand Battle, probably. This is just my speculation, though. |
| Yoshikage Kira pulls off his legendary escape. Can't forget we got one of Jotaro's shitty one liners. It was great. |
 |
| There are Geniuses and there's Yoshikage Kira . Everytime you thought he was done , he managed to get away no matter how desperate the situation seemed . He's Everything you expect from a Villain : Smart , Charismatic , Powerful & Crazy . Easily one of the best episodes yet . the tension during the fight was top-notch as well as the tension during the chase . |

| Another great episode. Brutal seeing Koichi's face getting smashed on the ground, but he managed to get Kira's name. Jotaro not giving up without a fight. Great to see Star Platnium in action. Nice watch. Too bad Kira's face is getting wrecked. Josuke just in time to save Koichi & Jotaro. Great of him to figure out who Kira was. R.I.P Aya Tsuji. She didn't deserve that. Now Kira's got a new face & identity. Gonna be tough to find out who he is again. |
"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) |
| So Kira is having a pretty rough day. His heart attack isn't killing anyone, he was about to get mugged, his name and address and whatnot was known to someone, and then he got an ora ora ora beating by Star Platinum. So much for living peacefully lol. Koichi manages to make Kira super pissed lol. And Jotaro comes back from the dead and beats the crap out of Kira to knock him out to allow for reinforcements to come. And Kira acts like a bystander supposedly caught in a blast in the shop. But he blows it by telling Josuke to fix him fast. Kira cuts his left hand off and sets a heart attack after them. Lol there was then a hand flying around town after a man. And Kira's will to survive is so strong that he acted like he did in front of Josuke and then he went as far as to completely change his identity by forcing the beauty parlor woman to do it. Now the jojos will have to search for Kira all over again. It's bad especially since Kira knows about all the stand users linked to the jojos. |
 Did CrunchyRoll just combine a few different meanings of the word "dumbbell" into one on accident? Or am I missing something |

| I really like that they used the same ost at the end as the one used during avdol's first death(during the hanged man arc) Rip aya, araki created you just for this moment:'( Soo, can anyone figure out where kira was at the end?? I think someone spotted him blending in with the crowd with his new identity lol 5/5 |

| "nothing is true. everything is permitted" |
| DAMN THAT WAS QUITE AN EPISODE Koichi continues to be my favorite character, the way he went on was brilliant as always. I like that even if you beat Koichi you still lose. Kira's so badass tho holy shit |
| Kira and that his freaking OCD, he got time for Koichi's shoe but no time to kill him. How did Kira know about the power of Aya's stand? |

PapaGreg said: ninnin said: It bugged me when it happened but why didn't Josuke's healing teleport Kira's body back to his hand like he did when Okuyasu got dragged into the power lines by Red Hot Chilly Pepper? I personally like to think that only works if the object is heavier than the source(Okuyashu was pure electricity) but it is a bit of a plothole. Or because Okuyasu wasn't in his original form, Josuke's fixing power used his hand as a way to turn him back. I kinda see as a plot hole, but Stands powers can be quite abstrate sometimes (and convenient for the plot), so I guess you can try to explain as you want. |
| holy kira. ..Koichi face......omg jotaro and that ost. Aya noooooooooo |
| Kira actually managed to get away! :O I actually thought Koichi would die because the big hole/wound looks really close to his heart. :S And Aya can still speak even though there's a hole on her throat. That's the weird thing really. Overall, I still enjoy it :D. Hope to see how they find and catch Kira next! |
 |
| Damn this episode was so freaking awesome. Had totally forgotten about Jotaro's hilariously bad watch/face line. |
| Atom Heart Father is fun tho RPS kid is gonna be one hell of a bore |
| What an episode. JoJo never fails to deliver, and this week was fantastic. Kira is indeed a great villain. Not only he is creepy, cunning and stylish, but he also is really funny. I mean, that scene when he waste precious time just because Koichi wear his sock wrong was pure gold. OCD to it's maxim. Jotaro's OraOraOraing Kira was really great. Glad Jotaro managed to land some hits on the bastard before getting unconscious. Kira really get rekted. Josuke was awesome too when he gussed Kira wasn't a normal passerby when he and Okuyasu finds him wounded. I'm liking Josuke a lot lately, to the point I'm considering him my favourite JoJo. And the ending, well, poor Aya, she didn't deserved to die, and to add salt to the injury, she also had to harm the other man who came to her clinic to change Kira's face. The series has reach a very interesting point. Even if we will back to the Stand of the Week plot soon, now that Kira has been stablished as a treat, things are going to be very interesting... |
 |
| Jesus Christ that was one hell of an intense episode right there! I was at the edge of my seat right from the start. Eagerly waiting for the next episode! |
 |
| Phewwwwwwwwwwwww, that was intense! Great comebacks for everyone yet Kira made the ones that mattered the most. 11/5 so great an episode. |
| That episode was glorious. The best one so far. Koichi underwent genuine character development. That's so rare nowadays. And Kira's an amazing villain. His OCD is perfectly portrayed. And that Stardust Crusaders OST was epic. Well Done David Productions! |
| This episode was mind-blowingly good, and yes that pun was also intended. Kira is hands down the BEST villain I've seen from the franchise, and probably the best of the season, if not the year too. Gotta love how cunning and intimidating he is while still managing to trip over himself with his overconfidence and OCD-like tendencies. Killer Queen looked beyond gorgeous as well. Holy shit, everything about him is just too great. I'll be missing the David Bowie look, though. Jotaro and Koichi really shined this episode too, with their cheesy ass yet stupidly awesome taunts and one-liners only someone like Araki could've ever come up with. For a villain as powerful as Kira, they fared incredibly well: I even thought for a moment that Koichi wouldn't make it (after what happened to Shigechi, you never know). Damn, that's a whole new level of jinxing yourself, right there. |

| Jotaro wasn't there to save Kakyoin but was able to save Koichi. I like that parallel. I mean, come on, Koichi is impaled through the stomach and is even wearing the same school uniform as Kakyoin. He was so bad ass too. The two of them were both able to figure out the enemy's secret. If only someone like Josuke had been around to save my cherry prince... |
| That was awesome. Really looking forward to seeing how they catch Kira now. |
| The irony of a hand fetishist who has illicit affairs with said hands actually lopping off his own hand. And the fact that he cried afterwards. I think I woke my neighbors with my sheer enthusiasm for this episode. There was so much to hype over- Koichi's badassery, Jotaro's one liners (and badassery), Josuke's badassery, Okuyasu's badassery excellent participation in that unplanned trustfall. Jojo's villains always manage to worm a way into the dark recesses of my heart. First Dio and now Kira. It's interesting to me how his development seems vaguely similar to Dio, with him being over confident & arrogant, then changing to overly cautious tactics after being thwarted. Even though he nearly died, things really went in Kira's favor at the end since he now knows about the abilities of the main 4 whilst having completely altered his identity. It's fascinating how far he's willing to go to survive, for reasons completely different to Dio. He has genuine OCD in relation to this "quiet life" he craves & I've gotta wonder where that's coming from. Why is he doing all this? I badly need to know how his past ties into who he is now, and that's something we never needed or even wanted with previous Jojo villains. Why does he think that this is the best way to sate his murderous feelings? Also might seem random, but I'm actually gonna miss Kira's face now that it's well...not his. From the spoilers I've seen, I'm not too keen on the design. I liked that suave office look since it contrasts nicely with how twisted his personality is. Once again, role on next week!! ^^ |

As much as I love Araki and this series there are a lot of plot holes in Jojo Let me introduce you to a sentence that explain the most complex stand abilities: "IT JUST WORKS" You're welcome, with King Crimson, Bites the Dust and Stairway to Heaven you need to remember these 3 simple words. |

| When Star Platinum punches Killer Queen, why didn't Killer Queen touch and make Star Platinum a bomb itself and explode?Is it possible for Killer Queen to touch another Stand,making the Stand become bomb and explode itself? |

| Kira gives me a weird feeling I want to hate him with all my heart but I can't. Cunning,little OCD bastard. For a moment I lost my shit when Killer Queen punced a hole in Koichi body I was terrified that Araki would kill him,but Josuke came in time. Also Josuke is turning out to be my favorite JoJo character. |

It was too busy getting punched Does that mean Killer Queen can create bomb by touching the object by using it's hand only or can it make something a bomb using his leg or body to touch it? |

| So how did he actually know what her stand's ability was? |
raiken6 said: So how did he actually know what her stand's ability was? Quote from somebody on another website: God_Vector said: Kira was stalking Yukako in a previous episode, add on to the fact that he probably listened to the talk around town (I mean even the high school girls are talking about it, so it's not too far fetched to say Kira's co-workers were gushing about Cinderella as well.). Mix this with his new-found knowledge about stands he gained when he encountered Shigechi and he probably pieced it together or at least had a hunch that Cinderella was no ordinary salon." Kira had this to consider for about 4 days |
| Always remember that anime is a niche medium in Japan. Manga sells way better |
RayAdha said: How did Kira know about the power of Aya's stand? The implication is that Kira stalked Josuke and Okuyasu for a few days and noticed some of the Stand Users they were around. Aya would be especially notable since she uses her Stand daily. I found her to be an incredibly unpleasant person, honestly. |
| Wow, so many things happened in this one ep. I don't even know where to start. Koichi was so brave to fight against Kira by himself with that shit talking. Didn't see that coming. Thanks to Kira, now I know more about SP's speed. Didn't expect Jotaro to be Koichi's savior after he's heavily injured. Lol at Kira's talk about getting a membership of gym to get more stamina. Kira really showed his ruthlessness & OCD with his playing Koichi's head like a basketball and helping him wear the sock. I was like WTF, lol. And he's smart to pretend to be a victim. Nice try, Kira. Too bad I was spoiled of the chase via the hand and Kira's changing identity and killing Aya. Damn these people. It would have been a great surprise. Any way, 5/5 for sure. And I love this scence. |

| Not gonna lie, Kira's an awesome villain. Fantastic episode with loads of hype moments, but the ORA ORA bested them all as it was probably the most satisfying one yet. |
| 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... |
| Best episode of part IV so far. Seriously people are so right when they said Kira is the best villain ahead of Dio. That change in identity really caught me off guard. |
