| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Illuso's personality at full display. What an episode. We got action, psychology, and trash talk in between the drama. Also liked the usage of the soundtrack used this episode. Abbacchio and Illuso has such an intense character chemistry just like how I remember from the manga now. Good stuff. Man in the Mirror really is one badass Stand. Giorno joining in the fun too. |
 |
| That cameo at the end was pretty neat and overall DP did a fantastic job with the Man in the Mirror fight. Next comes the fight I remember as one of the best in this part, exciting times ahead. Not to mention a potential new OP theme ;) |
| Jojolion anime when? |
| Today's episode was amazing. Apparently, the next one is a "特別番組" which means "Special Program" and is titled "Inizio del Vento Aureo" that also means "Beginning of Golden Wind/Vento Aureo". So I guess the next episode is a recap and we're getting a new one on January 11, possibly along with a new opening. That's a bummer to be honest, I was really looking forward to watching the beginning of the next arc next week, since it's arguably one of the best of Part 5. |

| This episode rocked hard and good. Dang it. Why does it have to feel so short every time I watch the episode? |

I noticed the special episode too, I wonder if it will count as episode 14 or 13.5, I really hope for 13.5 though, I don't want the actual anime to be any shorter |
| And now we're past the introductory fights. Now the really good part starts! |
| This show keeps getting better and better, with yet another thrilling Stand battle. That small post-ED scene excites me for whats to come. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| Oh my God, what an episode! I got the chills when Illuso went outside of the mirror encountering Purple Haze. Can't wait for next episode, there seems to be a recap but well, I can maintain my hype |

The music, vice acting and characters really made it. I'm happy David Pro didn't forget the "I need orders like a soldier" bit for Abbacchio. This whole episode was so good for his character. OST was amazing, especially when Purple Haze was about to destroy Illuso and when Giorno reveals his predicting. I already miss PH, he was depicted so masterfully. Damn Araki. My favorite moment was Giorno suffering bc of the antidote. Idk. Props to David Pro for making this calm and collected guy literally roll on the floor. Giorno's getting more and more likeable with these tiny, lovely details. What does PH mean? It Stands for Purple Haze |

| Another great episode, Giorno is truly a brilliant thinker. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| They truly did justice of this fight. I didn't remember it much so I was quite surprised this week. Apparently, we will have a recap before we get the next episode. I also hope the new OP to be as great as Fighting Gold if not better. |

| Man, this was brutal! Abbacchio chopped his arm off to give they key to Giorno who infected himself with that virus, amazing! |

Well, a few seconds of good animation is not a proof of overall quality. I also found it off, with a strange pacing and some not so well animated scenes. But, idk, there's something fascinating about the direction. The soundtrack (and also the lack of it) really helped to create a suspenseful atmosphere and the idea of an isolated place (and world). |
| the way Iluso melted after PH's attack was so brutal! |

freelynks said: The episode was really good but omg that galaxy brain thinking on Giornos part had me dead Small Brain: Running away with the key and fulfilling your mission. Big Brain: Infecting yourself with a flesh eating virus to kill the Stand User. Bigger Brain: Infecting yourself with a flesh eating virus to trick the Stand User outside so Fugo can kill him. Galaxy Brain: Infecting yourself with a flesh eating virus to trick the Stand User outside so a brick you turned into a snake can find him, letting Fugo kill him so you can use the snake's blood as a vaccine because the brick somehow developed immunity to the virus while being inanimate. Giorno is playing 35D chess. |
| This fight screamed asspull with Giorno pulling shit out of his ass lmao |

| Great episode, aside from some badly drawn faces lol. And now, of course we have to wait two weeks for the greatest arc in part 5 to begin. holiday498 said: I noticed the special episode too, I wonder if it will count as episode 14 or 13.5, I really hope for 13.5 though, I don't want the actual anime to be any shorter It's confirmed as episode 13.5. |
 |
| one of the best and most violent fights in Part 5, I love it! strategic JoJo battling at its best! |
OG_Gattsu said: This fight screamed asspull with Giorno pulling shit out of his ass lmao Every JoJo fight is an asspull |
| If there's one thing I can 100% rely on DP to get right, it's the sound department. So good. Made the fight so much better. 5/5 Sucks that the next episode is a recap. Such a tease before one of the best fights in the entire series. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Giorno sure took a risk by counting on the guy's movement. I don't take away Abbacchio's hand sacrifice, he sure did a lot also. Surely now Fugo and Abbacchio will be able to trust Gio fully as their true comrade from now on. That cliffhanger sure got me excited! Great episode, |

It was explained pretty well, unless you're just throwing around that buzzword for the sake of using it. They might just be bothered by the fact that Gold Experience is very open-ended to the point where he has a ridiculous number of powers. Compared to Star Platinum being able to stop time or Crazy Diamond being able to fix things, Gold Experience can life punch people into paralysis, turn objects into animals, use the natural abilities of those animals, reflect any attacks caused onto those animals at the attacker, accelerate the lifespan of living objects, etc. Basically, while it's entertaining, what I'm saying is I can't be surprised if the below picture winds up being how people react to it.  |
| For a while I was thinking "hey so yea these are the longest 30 seconds in the history of jojo" but then I remembered the Jotaro vs Dio fight and how a single second of stop time took like 3 minutes of screentime, so I guess it's fine. Overall great episode, the animation looked a little funky every now and then but I'm sure its stuff that can be fixed for the bluray later on. |

Brutal, tactical, high stakes, mystery, team fights, good art |

Color changes for dramatic moments have been a staple of this series ever since Part 1. This isn't even the first time its happened in this part. I want to say the earliest was probably Giorno vs. Bruno in Episode 2. |

| Every single one of the three Gang-Stars did their best to retrieve the key from Illuso even if his Mirror World powers were giving him a very big advantage. Leone even cut off his own hand and became one with his Stand on a whole other level to get the key to Giorno. A mouthful of mirror shard isn't something to scoff at either. Illuso showed that he's dedicated enough to cut off his own hand to survive too but what awaited him was the exact same thing he tried so desperately to avoid all thanks to Giorno's really thorough and reckless planning. Not only was he being fully devoured by the death virus, he was also being pummeled with fists lined with broken glass before he turned into a gooey paste. Definitely one of the most agonizing deaths despite it's relatively short kill time. That brick snake was both a life-saver and was also a full-counter to Purple Haze's deadliest ability but the snake venom vaccine being strongly poked into a raw patch of infected flesh must be like hell to endure as well. But that proved his absolute loyalty to both Fugo and Abacchio who were the ones most cautious of him and that's the most valuable thing he'd got from this. The leader of the Hitman Squad seems to be onto something but the next episode being a recap will let my thirst for what will happen next last even longer. |

| I feel very bad about Illuso, he was so motivated to survive and finish the mission succesfully, only to be destroyed by Purple Haze in a very gruesome way. Probably the 4th worst death of Vento Aureo. Kinda sad he was just a minor villain, since I like his voice actor a lot when he performs hammy villains, and he had a nice ability. Oh, well... Gotta admit Purple Haze's beatdown on him was really awesome. A truly terryfing Stand indeed. Giorno is a clever bastard, he calculated everything perfectly, and his bet ended being the right one. Good thing he's a good guy and not a monster like his father. Also, Abbacchio best tsundere. The final scene with Risotto and was a nice touch. Sucks we have to wait two weeks for next episode, especially since the next fight will be quite something. Hope at least this serves to give DavidPro time to nail the battle |
 |
| well that was intense. another 10/10 episode |
| I was hoping Moody Blues would rewind itself to a state before cutting his hand so Abbacchio could be cured. |
| Great episode as always. Abbacchio is one of my favorite character in Jojo and this fight really highlights why. Not much Fugo stuff but Purple Haze was dope as always, and THIS GODDAMN RISOTTO APPEARANCE MADE ME SO HYPED. Even though we won't see him for a while.. It makes me hope for even more La Squadra content~ |

| [quote=FireCrauter message=56589461] JoJo's Bizarre Adventure has no canonical colours. For example, Fugo Pannacota has yelow clothes and yellow hair in the games, purple clothes and white hair in the manga, and green clothes and blonde hair in the anime. So there is no "wrong" colour for characters per se. The anime uses tense moments in order to showcase how colorful the series is, or like part 4 does, uses strange colour choices (yellow sky, for an example). Also rip Illuso and Pericolo, we barely knew ye |

The manga is known for always changing the color pattern of the characters, so the anime incorporated it as an aesthetic element as a way to symbolize the dramatic effect of the scene since the first season. |

Definitely one of the most agonizing deaths despite it's relatively short kill time. Not only that, there's a shot that's obscured in the anime of what happens to Illuso right before he starts melting. It's shown more explicitly in the manga.  Purple Haze straight up punches his face off. KanameYuuki said: I was hoping Moody Blues would rewind itself to a state before cutting his hand so Abbacchio could be cured. Bruno can zip it back on like he did with that other guy's arm. |
