| We got to see Abbachio's past and jis stand Moody Blues. Pretty enjoyable stuff. Buccarati defeated Zucchero by zipping off his head and everything is back to normal. Hopefully we will get the gang dance in the next episode lol |
 |
| No torture and dance reeeeeeeee 3/5 |
| It was a good idea to include Abbachio's backstory here, this is in my opinion the worst fight of part 5 and they still managed to make it super entertaining. DavidPro is killing it so far. |

| I wonder if they will also animate earlier. They could do it next episode or the one after that since he will be the main character of them. |
| I don't know what this "dance" that was in the manga but cut out of the anime that people are talking about. Really shows how little I remember of this Part after all! Well at least this anime is helping me experience it all again in a new way (yeah binge reading this Part and Stone Ocean two weeks before exams was NOT a good idea for my past self to have). |
| Showing Abbacchio's backstory right now isn't the best decision since he barely had any screentime before. In the manga it was presented way later if I remember correctly. Other than that, most of David Productions decisions in regards the adaptation have been fine until now. |
"Doubting everything that you take on... That is very important. Open your own eyes, clear out your ears, and look and listen to the world... And think using your own brain. After you've doubted everything, there is a possibility of something real to believe in. To believe in something, doubt everything." |
| Awesome episode. I don't need to say more. |
| Holy crap! they decided to show us Abbacchio's backstory much earlier than in the manga. I was not expecting that, I even had to double check to see if that happened during Soft Machine's fight. I'm pretty happy with the directing of this episode but I must say the only downfall of including Abbacchio's backstory is that we are not getting『THE DANCE』animated, only next week... |
| Here I come, rougher than the rest of them The best of them, tougher than leather You can call me knuckles, unlike sonic I don't chuckle I'd rather flex my muscles I'm hard as nails, it ain't hard to tell I break'em down whether they're solid or frail Unlike the rest I'm independent It's my first breath, first test Feel the right then the worst's left |
| As an anime only watcher, the suspense and mystery of this battle kept me interested but the conclusion not so much. I did notice several of the clues like the boat keys from the previous episode saying 1 on them and them riding boat #2 but the idea of flattening a boat to cover another boat is just so random I can't say I enjoyed it being the answer. |

| one of the things I love about Part 5 is seeing all the gang star's back stories, here we get Abacchio's, earlier then we did in the manga, and I believe the last part was anime-original, which was cool Moody Blues is a really cool stand, and of course this was another interesting and "bizarre" fight |
| Really good episode, I didn't remember exactly how Mario was hiding so the reveal was great. Also... |
| Loved Abbacchio's back story. The world can change a person for the worst and it was depicted well in his story. Those guys after Polpo's stash have made their move and it didn't go well, I wonder who is next to try out? |

| Really liked the portrayal of Moody Blues here. Can't wait to see my favourite scene animated next ep. Natsuki_Hyundai said: It's hasn't even been cut, we just haven't gotten to it yet.

| I didn't read the manga.. But I think this episode is great.. And seeing that people say that this is one of the weakest Part 5 fights, just wow, I am become hyped now for the future fights.. This fights is better than majority of Part 3 dan Part 4 fights imho ... |
"The Slave is the have-not, the oppressed one with nothing to spare. But because the Slave is in that despairing situation, having nothing, it can kill the Emperor !" |
| But even if the thug had confessed to bribing Abbacchio, it would've been his word against Abbacchio's. Damn it, Abbacchio! Don't be so gullible! |
| Nice episode with Abbachio's background and all, but this just might be one of PT5's weakest fights... then comes next week's Mista's fight, that's when Vento Aureo really starts to shine pure GOLD (had to do it) |
| They didn't include the dance... Next week will feel a lot longer now |
 |
| Still digging it. The off-model character designs are unfortunately more prevalent than they were in the prior episodes but the stylish presentation is still top-notch. |
Take care of yourself |
Nidhoeggr said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Really loving the SFX usage for Moody Blues here; old idal up sounds, phone rings, etc. really creates a great soundscape. Aba's look in the flashback also reminds me of the lead singer of Eurythmics. Just wait till the ending credits of the last episode! SFX will be off the chain. |

They also said that the 2nd half of part 4 is better and oh well everything which wasn't kira or the motorcycle arc was crap. |
| I went back to the previous episode because the Boat names were different. The one they were suppose to be on was Lagoon 1... I didn't realize the positions of the boats or the keys with the 1 were the... key to figuring this out. Twas a good fight. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| what an interesting fight! I totally missed that clue with the boats. |
| This is not your planet to rule. The Fallen shall rise again. |
| Great ep. We get some backstory of Abbacchio before he joined Passione and it's very interesting to see that he used to be a cop. Very nice usage of color palates during that scene. His stand [Moody Blues] is pretty dope to say the least. It looked awesome and I like how Bucciarati was able to defeat the enemy. Very hyped for the next episode. |

| Awesome, we got Abbacchio and his Stand, Moody Blues this episode. The mystery thickens! We get some backstory of Abbacchio before he joined Passione and it's very interesting to see that he used to be a cop. Very nice usage of color palates during that scene. Looking foward next week when we see the guy with the cake fetish ala gun man. |

 Part 5 spoilers, be warned |
| Abbacchio’s backstory being placed this early caught me off guard. But it’s quite a nice move to show why his stand ability is what it is. It’s not only because he used to be a police officer, but also kinda shows those past events still haunted him that he can’t help but replay them in his mind. Love the SFX for Moody Blues. Job well done again, DP! Only in JOJO, you point at something as if you were looking at your watch, lol. The soft machine battle may not be liked by a lot of ppl, but it’s one of my favorite battles in JOJO and what I love the most about it is how they solved the mystery step by step in the atmosphere of horror & their interactions during the battle and afterwards (which we’ll see in the next episode). The added scene of Buccellati recruiting Abbacchio into his team is very well handled. Abbacchio turning back to the darkness before putting down the bottle feels like a good bye to the past. And I like his helpless look in the rain. Not sure if it’s me being a manga reader from this part or what, every episodes so far feel so short that they all end in a blink. And for sure, this is another 5/5 episode! Oh, Six Bullets, really!? Lmfao |
 |
| Abbacchio and Moody Blues looked badass this episode. I had read that the backstory of Abbacchio was meant for a later episode, it doesn't feel bad. I hope the animation quality stays like this all the way to the 39 episodes. The battles are becoming more creative than the ones in the previous parts. |
 A digital frontier to reshape the human condition. |
I love how Abbacchio hates Giorno so much that he pissed in his tea when they first met, refused to use his Stand in a life or death situation purely out of disdain towards him, refused to listen to Giorno's explanation until he threw himself into harm's way to prove that he was right, and then waited for him to seemingly die before bringing out his Stand.

The anime for Part 4 didn't adapt the second half as good as the first half. Out of everything JoJo that DavidPro has done, it's probably the least satisfactory For instance? All that Josuke went through in the second half & certain arcs of the first half builds into the final battle against Kira, but this is sadly left unclear in the anime all thanks to the rushed pacing by that point. The manga really did do it better, but Japan doesn't care all too much for Part 4, as it seems |

| Always remember that anime is a niche medium in Japan. Manga sells way better |
| This episode definitely felt like the fastest one so far because it was over so quick. Seeing Abbacchio's past as a cop who was faced with the harsh reality of society only to be persecuted and burdened with the loss of his partner at the very moment he strayed from the straight and narrow path was tragic. Good thing Bruno was there to show him the way and an opportunity to lead another life once again. Moodly Blues' ability doesn't look like it's suited for combat but it's definitely a must have for any crime scene investigator out there, let alone someone who works in the mafia. Just seeing it recreate scenes like that with the bizarre rewind sound effects was straight out from a sci-fi detective game and I love it. His stand also makes me think that it might represent his want to go back to that event and do things differently so he wouldn't have went through that low point in his life. Soft Machine's ability was pretty confusing at first but after giving it some time I suppose I understood how he deflated the second ship to envelop it over the first so he can hide underneath it. The Zucchini head got his head lopped off in a zippy lol. |

I think they did a great job with the second half of part 4, for example the episodes where they showed several of the stand battles as they went on at the same time was really cool. And I have no idea what you even mean, it should be obvious to anyone who saw the series that it was building up to the fight with Kira. |

| I absolutely LOVE Abbacchio, and his backstory was handled perfectly. |

There are far too many anime-only people shrugging Part 4 off as complete filler, and even calling it worse than Part 3 for reasons such as this. The final chapter of the Transmission Tower arc was integral for foreshadowing Josuke exploiting his Crazy Diamond's powers with the dried blood mechanic used on Kira. It is there where he supposedly was hinted toward it. Part 4's my personal favorite - one of Araki's finest pieces of writing. I will not stand for all the bad-mouthing I've been seeing it get lately |
| Always remember that anime is a niche medium in Japan. Manga sells way better |
| Great episode! Though If I remember. Wasn't Abbacchio's past reveal a bit more later in the series? I already finished the manga so remember what happened to Abbacchio. It'll be an important piece later on! Can't wait for the next one! |
| hmmm Abachiko back story...damn the names are hard to pronounce |
 |
| Love the thought put into to the stands and how they interact. Abbacchio's especially. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Damn, I didn't expect Abbacchio to have that of a story. :S While I disliked him at first now I can say he might be actually a cool guy. Whole scene with Bruno recruiting him was awesome. His Stand has very interesting abilities. I loved the sound that was used for it. SFX for Moody Blues sounded simply fantastic. That trick with different yacht inside their yacht was... well... bizarre! xD |
