| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The bro cam! Well I think this episode was thrilling with the continued story of Josuke, Jotaro, etc trying to find more info on Kira. Nice to see Atom Heart Father, about time. What a clever bastard. This episode adapted more than I had expected.  |

| - Kawajiri family is here, one of the greatest character moments of Diamond is Unbreakable, especially when Kira is assuming the identity of Kosaku Kawajiri -Shinobu Kawajiri - Best girl of Part 4 - Hayato Kawaji -2nd best Kid after Shigechi Can't wait for RPS KID! |
Best Girl is here! I love Shinobu. I really like Atom Heart Father. It's a pretty scary stand and one of Pink Floyd's best songs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yusGUGTVAyw Araki really has good taste. |

| Kosaku - Kira artwork http://jojo-animation.com/core_sys/images/contents/00000092/base/001.png?1474041147  It looks good. RPS kid is a fast paced arc to begin with. |
| The quiet life turns into the suspicious and troublesome life or something like that. I like how Kawajiri tries all his keys on the keyhole before finding the right one, nice little detail. The fight against Kira's dad feels a little rushed. Okuyasu's stupidity results in more stand of the week episodes, though some of them were pretty great. Some development on the lore of the series with the 2nd arrow uncovered. How do you go from this  to this?  This was a good scene to build tension with Kira struggling to open the safe leading up to him just stealing from the rent guy, I'm not gonna complain though I understand that they only have a set amount of episodes to fill, as long as they don't axe any major stuff. |

| Kira's new identity looked a bit weird at first, I thought his face was fucked up or something. There's another arrow and Kira's father is now getting involved, so things are gonna be more complicated for Josuke and the others. Lol at Josuke's attempt at a cool one-liner. Keep practicing bro. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| jotarou!plz do something with ur invincible star platinum |
| No opening this week,so we will have the new one from now on.Atom Heart Father showed its creepy power and I loved how they animated the dimensional distortions when Josuke ripped the photo.Jotaro used once again his mind and trapped Kira's father,but because of Okuyasu's stupidity he managed to escape and also steal the bow that Josuke found in Kira's house.Kira now as a different person still retains his everyday routine,which confuses "his" wife.I was a little upset they skipped the safe scene,but it can't be helped I guess.I really like how they potrayed Shinobu in the anime,total hottie.Great episode overall once again.Not really hyped for next week,but at least we will have Rohan. |

| Very well adapted overall, except I also thought it felt rushed at times (for example the safe opening scene). And OH MY GOD next week is perhaps my second favorite fight in DiU :D (they better not screw it up) |
| Loving Kira's new look quite a bit XD And man Shinobu is <3 |
 |
| Wild thought. What would happen if Josuke would've tried reattaching Kira's fingernails the same way as with his hand? Afterthought. What would happen if he tries to reattach all of the trimmed nails? Like all of them at once. Because on one hand you can look at it as a global GPS on Kira Yoshikage but on the other, what would they even be supposed to be reattached to since his nails grew back? |
| My man Kira has a nice ass, and a nice girl. And Kira father did a great fight! I forgot how scary his whole fight is! Also, Jotaro saying "when things are useless, I give up", that pissed me off, but glad to see he was only giving a false sense of security to Atom Father. 5/5 Love this episode! |

| Fun fact: Papa Kira is probably the best father in JoJo's xD "New Life" felt a bit rushed? Yoshi x Shinobu = OTP |
| please.. just kill that bitch |

Like all of them at once. Because on one hand you can look at it as a global GPS on Kira Yoshikage but on the other, what would they even be supposed to be reattached to since his nails grew back? His stand doesnt work like that. Once something leaves the body for long enough it stops being a part of the person and also they would need to have the latest nails... This nails are like few years old and are dead cells. Crazy Diamond cant fix dead stuff. |
galimx said: I read the manga and it never was obvious.

It can always restore state, but it can't restore life. And I never saw anything to imply that there's any limitation to how recent the broken off part would have to be. Was that clarification ever made? Nah. Its quite obvious if you think about it. Also read the manga. Its explained later, there was this scene with Kira's dried blood or something. Even if that was a rule, considering how fast Kira's nails grow, there's good odds that he has some recent cuts that would work. What I'm actually curious about is if it can restore a part that has already grown back. |
| Kira was hotter before but whatever. Amazing episode. Also great animation. Is this the golden half of DiU I was looking for? |
| Realistic speaking Shinobu should had realized that her husband"s voice had totally changed xd Well, this is all just so that audience will reconzice him as the same Kira from before xd By the way, no matter how crazy and evil Kir"s father is I think its a nice thing to see once in a while a father in anime that actually supports his child"s mental conditions and needs xd |
| How I love a game |

I think you are just thinking too much about this stuff, its interesting yeah, but nobody really cares about this details. Edit: I saw Josuke throwing his own blood at Kira but nothing concerning CD interacting with Kira's blood. |

| Kira's father was a big surprise. Lol, his new life is going well, and his new wife likes him better than the original. |
 |
| 6 chapters in one episode, so it was rushed. It was still a great though. New Kira look looks great and Atom Heart Father was just as intense and wacky as the manga. Jotaro was a badass for finding a way to trap Kira's father. Lol at Josuke saying something "cool" XD 5/5 |

| I found the love for Kira's father towards his son very heartwarning... in a very twsited way, but still sweet. His Stand, if used properly, is one Hell of a treat, too bad for our herous Jotaro is very intelligent. And speaking about Jotaro, he was a total badass in the episode, too bad Okuyasu screwed all his hard work, but, well, if that gives us new amazing and crazy battles, then good for me. The new Kira was a let down compared to his David Bowie design, but I wouldn't say his design is bad, just not as good as the previous one. About his "wife", she's hot, but a bit bitchy and inmature. At least she is pretty. For a man who just wants a quiet life, Kira is pretty ripped. I almost forgot is JoJo the series we talk about after all. The moment when he steals the money of the creditor with Killer Queen was cool. Cannot wait to see the coming of the next Stands of the Week and their abilities. P.S: That brief image of Dio was nostalgic. It was itneresting to know how he obtained that quantity of followers with Stand now, since there are others bows and arrows around the world. It seems Stands users are really atracted by others Stand users. Hazamada's works has more sense now. |
 |
| God, Shinobu is great. I feel her so much, too. It's crazy how good of a lover Kira would be if he wasn't a murderous sociopath. |
| bro cam? lol Kira's new look is creepy and scary hs wife is a bitch you just know he's gonna kill her |
 |
ButtSlapper said: That was fucking hilarious: Josuke sounded so desperate when he said that I was suddenly reminded that he's just a 15 year old highschool boy.jotarou!plz do something with ur invincible star platinum This episode was gureito, as usual. Kira's new appearance is fittingly creepy (yet weirdly handsome) but I can definitely understand why his smooth manners and cool and composed demeanor could revive the flame of Shinobu-san's passion. Can't wait to see more from him. |

| Just a brief question for manga readers: How long will the 'Kira'-arc last? Will they take him down in the next episode or so? (I don't need spoilers for the content). I'm asking because I might consider reading the manga if the conclusion is still far away. |
| Please tell me nobody's gonna say that Potato didn't have time to grab that photo when it was 3 feet at most away from him |
| The gang always doing the stupid thing like they're in a horror movie is getting old... Anyways, Kira's quickly becoming my favourite JoJo villain, he's seriously leagues more competent than pretty much everyone they faced before. |
| 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... |
| Jotaro's theme playing when he folded the photograph and sticky taped it close was probably one of the funniest things in DiU so far. Also like how they adapted Yoshikage Kira's new life alongside AHF, it made the episode flow together nicely despite the compressed pacing. Next week the we'll get the most intense RPS match ever fought. |

I didn't know that. Thank you very much! PapaGreg said: Helenus said: Just a brief question for manga readers: How long will the 'Kira'-arc last? Will they take him down in the next episode or so?

This series is 39 episodes long and Kira is the end game sooooooooooo yeah you might consider reading the manga Thanks to you, too. Yes, I'm quite interested in the Kira arc and I might not be strong enough to wait 14 weeks for a conclusion :D |

| Wow, things keep getting more and more complicated for our heroes. Not only does Kira have a new identity (which comes along with a really hot wife, I might say) but now they have to deal with who knows how many new stand users created by Kira's father. Man, when will Okuyasu stop being stupid? I keep waiting for him to do something cool with that OP stand of his, but he keeps messing up. I'm guessing he's the comedy character of this arc. My favorite scenes were with Kira's new family, though. I really enjoyed his new wife falling in love with him. I guess she finally got some excitement out of her dull life. I hope he does not kill her, though, since there were definitely some murderous vibes when he was cutting his nails. Looks like we are back to stand of the week again, which is a disappointment after those stellar few episodes. I hope at least they are creative about it, and get some of the interesting side characters involved, such as Rohan. |
| Too bad Kira's dad escaped. Could have been easily avoided. But still a good episode. |
 |
Avizanski said: Star platinum the world could have saved them not only before they were trapped in the room (as soon as danger arose they Jotaro could have taken them immediately out of the room) The second danger arose is the second they were trapped.As soon as the camera went off they were stuck in that room. That was the point Josuke was spooked as shit |
Avizanski said: Okuyasu was stupid as hell letting Kira's dad escape, i mean fucking braindead. Probably a tidbit they cut out due to pacing, but I felt it was more convincing after seeing this (read right-to-left):  |
| Always remember that anime is a niche medium in Japan. Manga sells way better |
| Kira slowly adjusting into his new family. His new look is pretty menacing. Kira's dad so protective over his son no matter what. Interesting ability with photos. LOL Jotaro. Say your one-liner. Another Bow & Arrow. More Stand Users to come. Shinobu seems nice, but I don't want to see her die. |
"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) |
| That wife must be very happy now to have Kira. Kira would make a great husband if he is not murderer. Even if she discovered she is not her real husband,I think she would be happy and still accept him. |
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. |
Avizanski said: SAF88 said: That was kinda the point. lol i don't think it was, if it really was they'd probably show somebody cringing in reaction or something, it came off as a lazy move either as a joke or as a "cool" line. either way, i disliked that moment It really was. Look what he thought in the manga, on the left.  Also, how the voice actor delivered the line was more than enough to insinuate that he made a lame line, combined with the fact that Jotaro had to tell him to make one up, then to add to that afterwards it hit the commercial break. It's supposed to be a funny moment, and it is. |
