Yeah the alien thing came a bit from nowhere, but whatever this is JoJo. I'm loving already how a silly idea of Josuke to make money made things as tense as a villain appearing. Also really liked how Josuke and Okuyasu were pretty much having a conversation telepathically at the beginning.


They're either talking through their Stands or they've achieved the higher level of bromance where they formed a telepathic connection.

They cut some things, unfortunately :< Josuke practicing with Mikitaka and him starting to puke - Josuke and Okuyasu at the start of the alien chapter and (weirdly enough) the kid spying on his mom and Kira.


A bit disappointed about that too. That's probably my favorite part about this Mikitaka arc.

why would they introduce an alien all of a sudden? This is the first time I see a TV shows doing something that doesn't belong in it but it was enjoyable though.


Are you really sure that he's an alien, though? lol


Well, the opening is... not good enough for now, but I definitely love the visuals.
About the episode, probably the funniest one so far imo.

More funny scenes skipped. JoJo is the one series for me where I really don't like seeing any of the funny/bizarre scenes left out.

Hopefully the BD's add them in, but honestly we wouldn't even have this issue if they gave Part 4 just a few more episodes.

And yeah this episode was clearly outsourced, but 3 cour is hard to do for pretty much any studio so it's understandable.

As for the OP, I liked it a good bit actually. Taste in music is subjective of course, though I can't tell from some of the responses here if people dislike the song, the visuals, or both. I don't really see much wrong in terms of the visuals, so I'm assuming it's the song.

Anyway, at the very least I'm glad they didn't rush 7 chapters into one episode and only did 5. Still I think saving Yoshikage Kira's New Life Part 2 until next week would have been a better idea.

Edit: Oh yeah, they left the scene of Hayato spying on Kira out too didn't they?

Well at the end of Kira's scene, the camera zooms in on a suspicious lens/hole in the ceiling, implying that somebody's watching them (namely Hayato.) I guess it wasn't implied enough for audience to know that somebody's watching "Kosaku".

This outfit deserves its own post.



Kishibe Rohan, explain this mess of an outfit, please. What is any of this. Why put the belts around your knee but not around your waist. Why wear pants that are 10 sizes too big anyway. And did you accidentally stab your shirt with scissors and wash it at 80°C?

This is by far my favourite slutty Rohan outfit.

The pants are very 90s, dunno about the knee belts ahaha.
But yeah I love his outfits. I can't wait for his other little white number with the high zipped up boots/shoes. Hnnng!
So much visual inconsistency with this series but I feel like they do make an effort to present Rohan at an above average standard. nice forum avatar btw


Anyway, Mikitaka my strange boy. He doesn't seem as weird as he should be or maybe i've gotten used to all of this...

OP is meh, though I do like some sequences but as someone said: 0 energy.

After delivering the past seasons campy vampires, 15 years old students who looks like a man of 30 years and cyborg nazis, now JoJo brings us an alien. Simply beautiful.

Man, seeing Josuke trying to scam Rohan was really hillarious. Hope Rohan's doesn't end too burned at the end of the game :v

That alien was a nice dude, he didn't thought two times before helping Josuke when he saved his life. Totally a great bro. His Legalaslesque design only helped that.

DiU: Top tier part of JoJo with bottom tier openings. Sure it's better than a lot of anime's and I still prefer this OP to Chase, but it's weird that they've gone back to a more upbeat song tonally.

Animation was a bit hit or miss, but they still managed to hit all the right notes to make this episode enjoyable and that's what counts IMO. Especially if that means the animation in Highway Star is going to be amazing. Also the missing scene from the Kawajiri household is probably going to be animated next episode, since DP seem to be splitting the content so there's more Kira more frequently.

Regarding the OP, I don't really see it as "upbeat" in the same way as Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town was. It's kinda melancholy (past the BREAKDOWN BREAKDOWN part) but I think ultimately hopeful, and kinda fits the atmosphere of "townspeople band together to expel a tumor of their society".

Decent new OP song. Gonna take a few more times before I get use to it. Nice visuals though.
Kira fighting the urge to not murder any females. Shinobu is so cute. She really wants him.

Hmm an Alien in Morioh. LOL casually eating those tissues & he can transform into practically anything.
Josuke was flying. How cool.

LOL now to scam some money off Rohan cause why not.

Might just be me but the scene from where Josuke went to challenge Rohan and forward, the character designs seemed to have changed. Maybe I'm just seeing things.

Anyways, I can't say I'm too fond of throwing in aliens out of no where, but at least the episode was amusing.

One of the funniest chapters from the manga. I really enjoyed this episode.

Okay I love jojos it's one of my favorite shows but just wondering. This has been buggin the shit out of me why is it that if jotaro can use the world . Why doesn't he just use it and directly kill kira while time was stopped that's the entire reason dio was so almighty and powerful it just looks stupid if you have someone with the strongest power yet you have to wait 15 episodes to wait to see how they overcome this villain? I mean isn't that a possibility ? I know it's a story and it's gotta be entertaining and what not but if I'm missing something someone tell me like "just wait and see what makes Kira dangerous"

Because the world stop causes the user a lot of physical stress meanwhile seeing how Dio is a vampire he can spam the crap out of it.

Guys, we need to talk about the most important part of the OP. Koichi not doing an awkward pose. Our memes are dying.

I feel that the reaction to every new Jojo OP is, "this song sucks." because it happened to C.N.B.T, it happened to Chase and now Great Days. For me, C.N.B.T > Great Days > Chase (music wise). It took me two listens to like Great Days while it took a couple of episodes for Chase.

Also, are they going to update/replace the ED. I don't see how they can add more to the ED and it is rare for a 13+ episodes anime to have 1 ED let alone a 25+ in this day and age.

The new OP is still not as good as Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town aka the 1st one.

I'm sure that alien comes from extraterrestrial planet named Middle-Earth

The game is funny af, whoever wins would be an entertaining sight I believe

The guy who voices Mikitaka does Funny Valentine of Part 7 in the JoJo games. You can sort of hear it, too. The anime is taking a lot of the game's established voices which is interesting. Johnny does Koichi, Diavolo does Kira, etc.

Awesome episode this week. So much better than the last. The "alien" dude is funny.
I like the new OP a lot. Reminds me of the older OPs in parts 1 and 2.

Also, it needs to be said. Someone, please, get Shinobu something to drink. The THIRST is real.

The episode was kinda funny and the segment about Kira's new life was good. Although, the animation quality was the worst throughout the episode.

I really loved the new opening, though. The visuals were stylish and the music sounds more satisfying to me than the grungy sounding Chase. But that's just musical preferences.

Meh, the opening is fine, I think it would grow on me and so does everyone else imo.
I still remember when Sono chi no kioku was deemed the worst OP of JoJo and when DIO break it on the later episode, people suddenly deem it as the best thing mankind has ever created.

Love the easter eggs in the new OP, especially those hints to my favourite part 5. I felt like being attacked by
As an anime-only spectator of DiU, I'm not sure if this new upbeat song will fit the following story or not. Since Chase has grew on me, I guess I will like Great Days later on.
Shinobu's reactions to Kira is always interesting to watch.
Kase Yasuyuki voices the alien guy who I assume is not a main character, so there's still a chance that he will voice
in part 7, right? Please, let him~ I like his voice in ASB.
Oh, Rohan's new outfit, lol. He just loves bare-midriff tops, doesn't he? And he has to show us his pants with versace/versus logo, I don't know.

Jotaro can't spam it because he's a human and it took a lot of stamina/energy/whatever to stop time not to mention he can only stop around 1-2 seconds anyway.

he takes what he's lost and discards what he's won, he's every bit as alive as you and I

Visually I don't have a problem with the new OP, but I really don't like the song. The past two songs (this an 'Chase') were pretty awful, but I at least feel this fits the feel of DiU way better than that generic crap Chase did...

The animation was kinda off, noticeably enough that I think this is the first episode where I've come away consciously aware of it.

Still a good episode though. I was bummed when it was over since it felt really short, even though it was obviously 'regular length'.

I don't think Josuke's grandpa would have fit with the shot since (and correct me if I've screwed up the details, I have a crappy memory) the characters shown in that shot were killed by Kira whilst Josuke's grandpa was killed by the 'water dude'.

I would guess the point of the shot is to show Kira's victims, or at least the 'main' ones we've seen in the story.

True. I honestly couldn't even work out who that was looking at the screenshot, so I just winged it and hoped it was a Kira victim that slipped my mind.

I dunno why his grandpa wouldn't be there then.

That opening owned the 90's vibe & the visuals were suitably fab so I'm very happy!!

That stuff with Shinobu and Kira had me on the floor, I swear to god I have never seen a man look so terrified when a woman removes her clothes XD
The thirst is real with her haha

And an honest to god alien? This arc really is pulling out all the stops!

Also I think Josuke's been spending too much time with that swindling father of his...Joseph must be bringing out his son's inner asshat. I love it!!

QUALITY strikes again, but this time it's more forgivable because the characters and situations are entertaining enough that I could totally look past them and get engrossed in what's happening.

I do feel bad for Mikitaka in these chapters, for being used by Josuke like this. Not many may agree with me, but I think Mikitaka is the best character of Part 4, aside from Kira. So funny, and yet so kind and endearing, too.

Quite hype for what begins next week, naturally.
