I'm surprised about the Egypt stands. Their stats are so damn low compared to the Tarot stands but almost all of them managed to almost kill the whole team by an inch anyway.

Censorship is still the same. Yare yare.

They showed us the best take on the psychological aspect of poker. No matter what cards you draw, having a poker face like Jotaro can make you win against the best gambler in the world. Rrrrrrrrrrrrr-Raise?!

That moment when Avdol suddenly got woozy after finding out that JoJo wagered everyone's souls by using worthless cards was priceless xD But if Jotaro fucked up even once, it's curtains for them so I understaaaaaaaaaando.

Let's all have a nice game of mahjong after all this~

This episode was so intense, once again Joutaru has proven that he has balls of steel.

Great stuff.

They literally showed him smoking without any censorship in previous episodes. I wonder why they decided to change the approach with this episode. Yare, yare daze indeed.

Holy shit, that was tense. It felt like when I watched Kaiji for the first time, an amazing episode. And D'Arby got brokendown á la Phoenix Wright, the best episode so far, no doubt.

I knew he was bluffing and I expected the child to work with the stand user but not the whole cafe.
It stupid how they censored the smoking but not the gay joke in a previous episode.

This episode was incredible, but holy crap the uncensored version can't come fast enough.


What the fuck you want them producing a non censored version for a man getting all flustered like that? That would be freaking disguting!

Anyway, this stand user was defintily something, I think the drama and athmosphere was really good these last 2 episodes, that said I have seen this season in something, so I was really craving for some more JoJo.
Great episode anyway.

The smoking censorship made me cringe

Of course the little boy was on D' arby's side. Jotaro casually betting his mom's and Kakyoin's lives even if they were absent AND convalescent was hilarious LOL. That was a great bluff.

Still the greatest episode of Stardust Crusaders imo. The intense OST, Jotaro's masterful bluffs, D'Arby mind-breaking from the pressure; it all had me on the edge of my seat.

Easy 10/10 episode.

I don't know how to play poker. Maybe that's the reason why I found poker games as a bit boring. Until now.

This episode was simply brilliant. It involved so many emotions, from happiness to sadness; from defeat to victory. From certainty to uncertainty and back. The tension creating durin Jotaro vs. D'Arby game was hard as titanium and it literally blazed with drama. Jotaro appeared to be the one who hat more guts and could calm his mind more, though he risked everything, without exaggeration.

I really liked "soul chips" theme and the way each 1 soul chip (let's call it "main") was divided into several smaller ones in order to let the game be more complex and similar to real poker (I assume you don't play big games with 2-4 chips, but you need to use way more, though as I said - I don't know the rules of poker).

D'Arby the Gambler surely was a dangerous foe. His abilities were not deadly per se, but maybe that's why they were even more problematic. If we think of it, he was one step behind defeating the whole party of our main characters.

About poker, I won't propably learn how to play it, it's just not my cup of tea. However, I won't see poker games as boring anymore (although as I said, I'm not planning to start watching them like I watch other sports in example ;p ). This episode taught me that this game might be indeed interesting, especially for the players and especially if they gamble; that it's not a regular card game, but in fact it's a battle of minds.

I'm at the edge of my fucking seat! That was absolutely intense! This is really giving me Casino Royale vibes, but with much more emotions. Which is why D'Arby lost to Jotaro, despite D'Arby having every single advantage in the gamble. Jotaro straight up won the mental battle by being a full baller, gambling every single soul possible, relying only on one condition to win... Scare the shit out of D'Arby!

Absolutely amazing, no fucking doubt!

Jotaro has an excellent poker face. His bluffing skills are just as deadly as his ora ora punches.

After all that hype after D'arby, he became a pussy ass bitch. What a shame. His shivering fear of losing was very amusing to watch.
Bastard got what he deserved.

D'Arby may be an addicted gambler but he still needs to learn to think more like Jabami :p
That was an excited episode, it was expected that Jotaro was just bluffing but was nice to see how he put so much doubt into D'Arby head and see that even he was afraid to bet on revealing Dio secret knowing the outcome of such action.
Also i am not sure that releasing those souls in the book was a bleassing or not, i mean most of those most likely already have their bodies buried >->

D'arby completely fainting from sheer nervousness might have been a bit extreme but this fight was very enjoyable and tense. Though it kinda sucked for the gang since they gained nothing from all of that

Didn't expect for Kakyoin to be mentioned or included in the episode lmao, And seems D'arby chickened out and doubted his own skills and Jotaro with his op bluffing skills with the bets and his stand was too cool and calming down at the same time was too awesome.

Jotaro Kujo.... your coolness saved everybody. He is so cold, Jesus.

I enjoyed really much those 2 episodes of D'arby. They had funny moments, lot of distress and strategy. It wasn't that centered in the stand. That's why Jojo 3 s2 is better then Jojo 3 s1.

This was probably even more intense than a fucking action packed episode. Goddamn, my heart. Almost fell down ffrom my chair. Joutarou bet the souls of Kakyouin, Avdol and his mom with worthless cards LOL. Well, he scared the fuck out of D'Arbi otherwise he'd be dead. He fell for it, thankfully.

This was such a good episode. D'ARBY'S VA was pretty amazing and he shit his pants and passed out in the last few minutes. Sadly they got no information on Dio.

Cheers for Jojo tho, a man with STEEL balls.

If you understand poker, you would know how crazy this episode was. For Jotaro to bet four souls without looking at his hand IS INSANE! His bluffing and intimidation skills shinned for this moment. Shoutout to Avdol for trusting him. I forgot about iggy lol, he could've bet his soul too lmao. Fantastic episode.
