THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The art is fabulous this episode imo, stylistic to the episode's theme. New OP song is nice too and has one of my favorite antagonists from the series.

Poor Koichi this episode though lol. Still, I liked how they adapted the humor of this in its bizarre fashion. Rohan's still dope as well in the episode to watch.

- Josuke's saviour identity is not important, it's irrelevant. What's important is that this delinquent with a pompadour who also has a heart of gold in Morioh saved josuke and inspired him.

- Opening was great, them foreshadowings!

- RATT HYPE NEXT WEEK, one of my top 6 favourite arcs within Diamond is Unbreakable.

Haha, Josuke's savior doesn't have a voice. Pretty good episode. Also they put my favourite character in the new OP so I'm happy.

Amazing OP, song is good and it's better than the last in terms of visuals.

Best episode of the season, too. Awesome fight and great direction all around. Rohan is cool as fuck.

I literally thought the exact same thing, I thought the visuals were nice but the song itself was a little lacking.

This new OP is absolutely fantastic! And the visuals for it was awesome. No ED change, which is nice to know. Great wrap-up for a great arc. And we get to know why Josuke likes his hair so much. No voice, lol.

5/5

Rohan learned that he never should laugh about Josuke's hair.
So Josuke was affected by Dio too.
And WTF was that story about his hairstyle?
That guy looked exactly like Josuke, maybe a time travel or something, that story was amazing.

Considering what we´re seeing is Koichi´s version of the story, the fact he looked just like Josuke was most likely just his assumption

That is by far the best way of explaining what I thought was the worst plot hole in part 4.

The part about Josuke's savior was emotional. Felt even more in the anime version than the manga. DP really is doing this series justice! [not that it needs to be explained, but they really deserve the praise :D ]

The sequences in the OP were so dope!


edit: I have to say that I loved what they did with the flashback.
Having Josuke's hero as a silent character is the possible best choice and the fact that there is no voice to attach to that person was simply genius.

Rohan went on hiatus for the first time in his life. Tears were shed. ;~;

The art in this week's JoJo was a step above the norm. Designs were sharper and colors were bolder. Hope this can become the standard moving forward

The person who pushed the car was OBVIOUSLY Josuke right? Time travel inc? ( Please don't give me an actual answer)

Yasssss new intro is hype
The animation is a lot better (for the intro and the show in general, imo) but not really feeling the song choice much. The foreshadowing is awesome

Also rohan is still bae

really enjoyable overall, especially when shit went down over Josuke's hair. Just.... A++++ 5/5

Something about the OP, spoilers ahead

Am I the only one who actually enjoyed the song?


I feel like the quality of the anime suddenly got better, now that we're entering into the interesting chapters. It was funny to see Josuke being that angry, even though I don't remember him lifting the desk, but whatever.

The fact that we didn't hear Josuke's hero's voice gives him an even more mysterious atmosphere. And the flashback was nicely done.

That's exactly what I thought when I first read the manga. I was expecting a big plot twist of that person being Josuke from the future o.o

Great episode and conclusion to Rohan's arc. The new opening is very good (that Kira hype), but, the song, while good, wasn't that much JoJo like, it's very serious. I mean, even Sono chi no Kioku, who had an ominous feeling, sounded more animated.
Well, I liked it, so no more complaints.

Josuke's hair backstory was really sweet, made me appreciate him a lot more. Never thought a mere gag would be that important to him.
Btw, I think the man who helped to move the car looked similar to him because the one who related the story was Koichi and he imagined the man similar to Josuke. Hell, he even says at the beginning that the story would be told as how he imagines.

The ending with Josuke turning Rohan into Togashi was hilarious. He deserved that, but gotta admire his passion for his job.

The cameo of the Crusaders was a bit sad :(

Rohan is really obsessed with his manga, I bet even if the universe was going to end it couldn't keep him from drawing.

Looking forward to the episode after the next one.

The flashback was told in Koichi's perspective and he doesn't exactly know how the savoir looked like, so he substitutes Josuke's look instead.

The new OP theme is so good. I really loved this arc and I feel like Rohan was a really good antagonist. Hopefully he shows up here and there later on. Loving Josuke even more considering his love for his hairstyle comes from gratitude rather than style.

Well the new OP is fantastic, I really like it.

This might be my favorite episode, too. The art and animation looked really good this episode and I liked the story of Josuke's savior. Him looking like Josuke because Koichi didn't know what he looked like makes perfect sense, and not having him voiced was an amazing choice as well. That part was really emotional, and I liked the music.

Was literally laughing out loud at Koichi trying to ask Josuke for help and I really liked the little story about Josuke's hair and the "ping dark boy goes on hiatus for a month" conclusion. The art and direction were also on point this episode and even the new opening's good.
These last few episodes have all been top notch, I'm very impressed with how consistently good part 4 has been, especially compared to Stardust Crusaders.
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...
