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? 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. |

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. |
TheWorstestSep 16, 2016 9:37 PM
Looks like they'll do the Kosaku parts justice. Seeing Kira trying to adjust to his new life is one of the highlights of DiU.  Jotaro, if only you knew how your one liners sound. |
 |
| Jotaro always telling people to say something cool so he doesn't crack another lame joke will always be a favorite of mine. |
| oh damn that's his father. Another bow arrow. Kira new look and family. |
| So Kira is acting in a way that will not cause anyone trouble in his new life with his wife and kid. And he's making just newly acquired wife fall in love with him. The person whose identity he took over sure wasn't a good husband. And Kira's daddy is dead but his soul hasn't moved on and he's been looking over his son all this time. His camera trick was quite dangerous. And Jotaro trapped him in another picture. I knew that the ghost was trying to trick Okuyasu and Koichi into freeing him. He put up an act to get out and was successful. And they find another bow and arrow hidden in the house. And this is the one which brought out Killer Queen. And there are possibly even more of these things around. |
Avizanski said: first jojo episode i disliked, truly disliked (disclaimer before you get triggered, i didn't read the manga or care that any problems with this episode are also in the manga, when you're adapting something to a different medium you should have the ability to fix any problems the original material may or may not had) on with the bitching Okuyasu was stupid as hell letting Kira's dad escape, i mean fucking braindead. 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) and when Kira's dad escaped Jotaro could AGAIN used star platinum the world to grab him and re-trap him. the one liner was kinda shit, it was a cool setup with very weak payoff and the ending was rushed, as there was practically no tension. Ok,let me help you with your complaints.Firstly,Okuyasu is always a braindead idiot,but this is his character he didn't do something out of character and even Koichi was getting fooled by Kira's dad,because of his claustrophobic nature.Secondly,you fail to understand AHF's power.When the camera shoots,the place,which is being shown in the photo is a visible,but different dimension.You cannot enter or escape,if the stand user lurks in the photo.Also,the user might move inside the photo easily,regardless of the timestops,but this is mostly an assumption.Thirdly,how stopping time for 2-3 seconds can help you catch a flying photo.Jotaro didn't know,where the photo was,when it escaped and when he found it flying,he couldn't catch it.Remember Star Platinum is a close-ranged Stand.2-3 seconds are just not enough.Fourthly,yeah I agree,but JoJo is famous for its stupid quotes and punchlines.Fifthly,I agree it was a little rushed,because they were running out of time so they had to skip some content.There was tension,but it could have been handled better. |

| Time for a Death in the family I reckon. |
| Due to spoilers up until this point in part 4, I always kinda knew what to expect but this episode threw me for an absolute loop...holy cow I was screaming at my laptop screen. Yeah I knew about the face/identity swap, but I had no idea Kira was straight up gonna waltz into a dysfunctional family unit. Definitely a new take on things, we've never really had any outsiders thrown into the mix in any past arcs like this. Sure we can guess the effects, and sometimes we even see it...but normal people don't usually get that concentration or voice in the story so it's really great to see! Now Shinobu is actually falling for her "husband" not knowing that he's a serial killer with a hand fetish...question is, would she even care if she knew?! It's kinda poetic actually...she's falling for the extraordinary, the risk- the very thing that Kira despises because it ruins his quiet life. Suddenly, her husband isn't boring and ordinary anymore, and that's something Kira tries so adamantly to be (to no avail of course). Didn't think we'd get another ghost either...his ability kinda reminded me of Hermit Purple for a second there. Kira's dad is unsurprisingly just as warped as his son but I couldn't help but at least identify with him a little. No matter the evils Kira commits, he is still that man's son so he's gonna do all he can to protect him. Things are definitely looking awesome and seems like we'll be getting some quality character development for this villain! I hate waiting though!! ;_; |

HE CLEARLY HAD A CHANCE TO GRAB IT, also. 2-3 seconds? not in my JoJo You said it yourself,Okuyasu is THAT stupid to do something that he would mock,but in the manga the beams sounded like they were cracking so it was more believable. How can you escape?Josuke bumbed into an invisible wall and Crazy Diamond's punches did nothing.Stopping time would only tire Jotaro and delay their inevitable deaths. About the photo yes Jotaro stagnated for a moment and didn't catch the photo but still Kira's father would have escaped because of the string and the advantage of moving between holes.Destroying a house would only destroy other clues about Kira. Everybody must stop spouting all the time the timestop ability.It isn't as much handy as it seems to be,especially in JoJo. |
|
| Aaaaahhhhhh Heart Father was an excellent chapter in the manga, and even better animated. One of my favorite chapters. And the way they worked the other one with Kira in was nice. Good episode. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Yeah, Kira is a romantic villain. Now I can totally see him being my favourite JOJO villain, even topping Dio & FV. Looking forward to his new life with a new family and a "true" relationship. As an anime-only spectator of DiU, I think Shinobu (I guess it's his new wife's name) will probably end up dying though. Regarding the battle with Kira's father, Jotaro saved the day with wit. Nice Move~ Okuyasu, I like you, but you really aren't smart. That's obvious bluffing. Kira's father loves his son and protects him in an incorrect way, but it's heartwarming to see that. Anyway, very interesting plot, love this ep. Can't wait to see more "romance". 5/5 I was not sure if I would love DiU as much as SC, but thank god, these last several episodes confirmed it. |

| Is it just me or does this eps is better animated than SHA part 1?? Thought we would get some "quality" like the surface episode, glad we got what we've got. I really like the beginning with shinobu and the ost, CD when?? p.s: i love how people thought stopping time is the answer for everything. And i love how people nitpick things, especially on jojo |
| "nothing is true. everything is permitted" |
| When a heartless serial killer is a better husband than you could ever be... Poor Kawajiri. |
 |
| Excellent episode. <3 |
 |
| Kira living this other life is pretty interesting to see. Shinobu = hottest girl in Jojo so far. |
 |
| Best Kira. She didn't see any difference  xD |

Gin-chan said: Anime - it's not something that can be thought of in a hall for conferences. It is made out of strange juices current from the brain of animators.  |
| So Kira is actually already a very capable husband even though he has hand fetish and never get married. ...and that wife....she falls in love with Kira because he looks cool when he stole some cash? lol |
