Haha, thats my boy Koichi, this is why he is my fav of the main guys.
I really like his stand ECHOES (Not Reverb thats just to avoid Copyright) even though its weak at first glance proberly used it becomes strong.

Also like his SSJ hairstyle and him saying "i wont forgive you".
Im also glad this was finished in one ep., for guys not reading the manga the stand of the week will be a pain to deal with.

Tamami is not initially short in the comic. In that, he's just as tall as Josuke and only becomes short when humiliated & humbled as we see at the end of the episode here.
Always remember that anime is a niche medium in Japan. Manga sells way better

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.


But... it does. That's why she suddenly decided to commit suicide out of nowhere.

I see... I was under the impression that The Lock just caused unbearable discomfort, since Koichi and Okayasu didn't appear to suffer from more guilt when the lock manifested.

Obviously since they can see that the lock is there and what it's all about, normal people do not see it or understand it and just get the feeling that comes with it.

Interesting something to note- Have any theories as to why they shrank him early?
(I have not read the manga) I would guess that the producers wanted him to seem like a petty person early in the series (?)

Who knows? To be fair, they beautified Iggy early, too. And I don't mean the Oingo Boingo episode. He was given his later series look in the first Geb episode for the group photo.

Funny you say that cause literally everyone I know thinks he's one. (much to my regret)

In any case, the episode was pretty hilarious, and I think Yuki Kaji pulled off a great performance.

I foresee people calling JoJo a DBZ rip-off thanks to Koichi and Echoes.

HigashikataJojo said:

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

Why should people call this a rip-off? Toriyama himself insisted for Katsura to make the a SSJ out of the Mega Play-Boy in DNA². The Jojo's author worked in the same magazine, I wonder if this was coming this time from Araki or from Toriyama again.

For the same reason people called Pacific Rim a NGE ripoff, Getter Robo a TTGL ripoff (i'm not kidding, there were people who actually thought this) and Stardust Crusaders a Persona ripoff. People are dumb.

@HigashikataJojo Doesn't sound like a synonym at all: there is a big difference between doing a shameless copy and being inspired by another work.

edit: all my excuses and thank you. It was never my intention to trigger such a strong reaction.
By the way, I was juxtaposing the two quotes because yours seemed right when the general reaction suggested in the above one was exaggerated.

This Tamami guy really pissed me off. He’s greedy AF. So happy to see Koichi man up and go super saiyan. Echoes is a very unique stand ability.

A bit touched when Koichi threw the onomatopoeia words to his mum and she started to believe in him. What a genius way to use your stand ability, Koichi! And the sound effects are great!

Koichi’s sister looks cute and hot.
Lmao Okuyasu said at the end “Don’t ask me, I'm not smart. Remember?” 5/5

When they revealed the cat in the bag, haha

Ingenuity is what makes JJBA. Using the stand on his mother to prevent her death was great. Tamami Kobayashi's responding with his parents never believing him.

Loved how puzzled Josuke and okuyasu were at the end.

Yeah, but that is while the lock's ability is in effect. I'm talking about inviting the guy in and letting him massage you. If that was my house and I saw a guy who was just tricked my ass in the street massaging my mom, first thing I'd do is get him the hell out. It looked like Koichi was trying to explain the situation, but his mom wasn't listening to him. So it really irritated me. I still really liked the first 5 episodes, ep 6 was alright, but it gave me a headache.

I’d probably do the similar thing as you would. But I agree with the above post that it has something to do with Japanese culture. Those housewives have a lot of free time staying at home alone during daytime, so they welcome the chat with others, even strangers. Therefore, in Japan there’re salesmen trying to sell things to them by going door to door, chatting with them and sometimes even flattering them.

I know anime parents are stupid
But not trusting your own child is more stupid than that
Well at least she did in the end

This episode was badass! Josuke casually dispelling everyone's guilt by countering the midget's tricks was hilarious.

Koichi turned full Super Saiyan and got a unique stand that fights in a way I think I haven't seen before~ How he made his mother believe in him was touching and clever. I'm loving this ♥
