And Koichi's balls grew 3 sizes that day.

Really like Kobayashi's voice actor. Really oozes with sleaze.

Fun episode.

Pretty sure Koichi is a homage to Gohan.

Please..

All the monster of the week fights in part 3 should have had this pacing.
According to some people this would have been better if it was one episode and half fight.

Lots of cool shots in the episode but this was by far one of my favorite



I really like how David Production has been handling the adaptation. They adapted 5 chapters in this episode but it all flowed so well.

Koichi just went full SSJ mode this time. His Stand was awesome. That Kobayashi guy was so hilarious despite being a jerk. His lock Stand was actually really creative.

JoJo still being AOTS. I just cannot have enough with only one week :(

Koichi has a interesting Stand, I can't say now if it's weak or not, maybe he can train and can make more powerful sounds.
He found himself a underling.

The best episode so far, easily. Koichi's VA did a very nice job there.

It seems Surface will be adapted in only one episode as well, which is good.

that was a very unusual power and a smart use of it, so it could potentially be used to mind control others..

The pacing was a bit too fast, but it was a far better decision to squeeze this fight into one episode that horrendously spread out over two. The animation was on point, and the voice actors were at the top of their game. The voicework really made Tamami seem like a scumbag, and Koichi's voice actor was FAR more impressive as pissed off Koichi than whiny pathetic Koichi. I didn't think Romi Park could be topped, but it just may be possible.

Kudos to David for doing one of the more forgettable fights in Part 4 justice.

I was pretty sure that Koichi will remain useless fight-wise for the entire series but no... surprisingly he can now activate SSJ and has quite good stand.

It's hard to judge how strong that stand is though as it is extremely funky. At the same time though, this is the first time I saw anything similar to this so props for originality.

This fight isn't nearly interesting enough to stretch out to more than one episode.

The only stakes in the fight come when Tamami tries to get Koichi's mom to kill herself, which happens at the end of the fight. Otherwise, he's just trying to extort money from Koichi, which is hardly a "OH GOD I WONDER HOW THIS WILL TURN OUT" kind of deal.

I remembered why Araki writing gets better in further parts. That knife scene with the mom was cringey, as in it jumped from tense to stupid too fast.

But you heard that Koichi OST? Amazing!!! DP did visuals in an interesting way this episode, and overall we get an introduction to Koichi's power, one of the coolest of the entire part.
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; What is essential is invisible to the eye.

But does the heart have the right perspective?

Man, that Kobayashi was so annoying, he really got my blood boiling. He's the type of character that I can't wait to see his ass kicked.

And what the hell, Koichi's mom? Believing some creepy stranger over your own son? This really stretched my suspension of disbelief to its limits.

Thank god Koichi was a total badass this episode. The moments when he summoned his stand and when he told his mother to believe in him were EPIC. The music was really good too. The clever taunt at the end was just the cherry on top - just what that guy deserves.

Colour transition and style overload in this episode. They had a lot of fun with the background art in this episode, from the graffiti in the street to the Johnny's receipt scene. It's so good to see Echoes animated, his was always one of the most interesting powers of this part. Anime only viewers should keep an eye on Koichi and his development as a character ;-).

As a sidenote I never was crazy about Romi Park's performance as Koichi in the games, but it'll be hard to believe that anyone could like her more than Yuki Kaji if he keeps up these performances. He suits Super Saiyan Koichi perfectly.

This episode is the first time I've ever given a single shit about Koichi. The VA is really bringing the character to life, and his stand power, like many others to come, really thrive when being fully animated as opposed to the sometimes convoluted manga panels with initially difficult to fully comprehend abilities like Echoes has.

I was expecting Josuke to save the day, but it was nice to see Koichi managed to take care of the situation by himself. The soundtrack was on point this episode, too.
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...

I went into this episode disliking koichi. Like how I disliked iggy but pet shop changed my opinion of him. To me this was a rite of passage of why koichi is going to be a great character. Him winning with how he did gave me chills

This was a mediocre episode. So far the season has been meh for me. Hope it really picks up and lives to the acclaim it is known for. Found both stands to be pretty lame ..but I'm sure reverb will prove itself to be more useful over time .

Nice, finally the tie for Koichi to shine, something I've been waiting for.

I like how his stand can be deadly too, considering the abilities which don't seem to kill.

I can't imagine if Koichi went DORARARARA too, the sounds it produced would be unberarable

Pretty nice adaptation. The Lock is a interesting stand but never fond his chapters to be that memorable, but animation and voice acting made it really fun.

Great episode. Koichi was so bad ass. Finally get to see his Stand "Echoes". Very interesting ability. Attacking Tamami with Sound Effects.
Really hated that bastard Tamami. His Stand "The Lock" seems really annoying to go up against.
Koichi is hilarious when he over-reacts to things.
Looks like Tamami is Koichi's personal assistant/slave now. LOL.

The part with the mom was quite frustrating - how a shady-looking stranger could induce a mom to doubt her own son to such extent, but I'll just pretend that The Lock stand multiplies guilt to insane levels.

Echoes seems like a pretty unique Stand. At first I thought it was a typically "deal damage" kind of Stand but using it as a kind of brainwash Stand is pretty out-of-the-box!

Now that i see it in anime form, the fact The Lock can force a person into thinking about suicide is quite scary, it's just one of those abilities that remind me Jojo is rather dark despite all the over the top stuff covering it.

Also yes, both Echoes and Koichi are inspired by Gohan and Cell.
