RIP to Avdol and I found the D'arby ending to the fight to be hilarious. His scream while being sent to the roof was amazing.

The soundtrack when the squad entered the mansion was great btw

It's track no.19 in the Stardust Crusaders [Departure O.S.T]

This particular chapter was the one that made me paranoid as fuck.

I like how a character dies and immediately everyone's arguing over his race & ethnicity... Love u, MAL...

Also to clarify for the person who asked about him coming back after Cream
(yes, this is spoiler)


I'm kinda missing the pastel hair color we sometimes see with Ice.

Also I can't believe grandpa cheats at video games. Wow Joseph, wow.


It's tempting to tweet this episode at the rapper btw

This episode went from comedy to tragedy in a most unexpected way. I was laughing my azz off at the "are you going to do the ora ora thing?" and the splendid use of Engrish "YES, YES, YES" and then things got nasty. Really nasty.

RIP Avdol.

Sucks that I've been spoiled on most of what happens in this part but at the same time I like this series so much that it doesn't really bother me. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode from beginning to end. It really sucks what happened to Avdol though.

The best part of Stardust Crusaders is finally here, gentlemen. I don't think discussing the significance of an individual with a dark-toned skin being called one way or another should be the main focus of this thread.

Seems like they included half a chapter more than I expected this episode, but I don't think that will change the result that much. DIO will probably appear about halfway through episode 20 instead of at the very end.

Really enjoyed the YES YES YES! part here more than in the manga (probably thanks to the VA). Vanilla's appearence was far more scary and menacing as well, glad they put the most effort where it matters.

Looking forward to next week to see if they reach the finale or not, excited for DIO's fight being this close.

D'Arby should be proud to have received the treatment even his brother didn't, the good 'ol "ora, ora, ora" thing.

Sho Hayami's voice = certain freaking strong and evil motherf*cker. Almost always.



WHAT. I thought that was Jouji Nakata! Those two sound so alike dammit! I always got those two confused in Fate/Zero.
Now I'm disappointed that he isn't voiced by Jouji Nakata, but still, Sho Hayami's voice is badass.


Absolutely incredible episode. Vanilla Ice seems like such a badass, and no wonder he's so tough. He's willing to die for Dio. I love the guy's Stand, too. So cool. And it's hilarious that Dio keeps saying Vanilla Ice, yet the Crunchyroll subs read "Cool Ice." WTF, man.

R.I.P Avdol(I think?) They set those death flags right before they entered the mansion. Now I'm worried for Iggy and Polnareff. Please, no. ;_;

First half was great, btw. And funny, thanks to "YES YES YES YES" and "NO NO NO NO."
"Are you going to do the 'ora ora' thing?!" I lol'd.
Anyway, D'Arby got rekt. He deserved it.

I'm really excited for the next episode, although a little worried for Polnareff's life.

People were right. The 2nd half of Stardust Crusaders is amazing.

Finally the series has a truly spectacular and suspenseful fight like this, thi is probably the first fight in part 3 thus far where it feels like they are completly overwhelmed.

If this fight and dio can keep up this level of intensity ill bump my score for the show up to a 7 again, the show had an incredibly bumpy journey but the destination seems grand

DIO is more intense because he is the main antagonist. That alone makes it a whole different playing field.

You'll be fine. The final fight with DIO alone is the best fight in the whole manga IMO.

You know, it's a good thing that D'arby the gambler didn't have D'arby the player's stand ability to read souls, otherwise the stardust crusaders would have been majorly boned. Even with minor plot conveniences like that, is JoJo still my favorite manga/anime? YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

Polnareff couldn't have a normal bathroom experience this whole trip, and he had to watch Abdul die...TWICE. Why does the universe hate him?!

Have to say they nailed Vanilla Ice's introduction, I had forgotten just how unnerving the guy really is! The suddenness of Avdol's death really drives home how desperate the situation has become, he will be missed ;_;. Polnareff and Iggy have a tough fight ahead of themselves.

I was surprised that they got Sho Hayami to reprise his role from the Capcom game. Not that I'm not for it: the guy is a top tier VA, it just makes me wonder if...

Ending to D'arby fight was boring/lame.

Vanilla Ice chopping his own head off to give Dio his blood out of loyalty was brutal.

Avdol died for real this time.

Seems like the fight against Vanilla Ice is actually going to be interesting.

Araki was going for horror stuff here and there all throughout part 3, but he really nailed it with the Vanilla Ice fight. It's legitimately unsettling and hard to watch. It creates such a sense of dread, really impressive stuff and one of the best fights in the entire series.

... I think JoJo bizarre adventures are definitely over for Avdol, now...
He escaped death once, but he won't escape it twice.

The trick to win over d'Arby was so dumb, yet I didn't saw it coming. Probably because it was dumb.

Woah, even I completely didn't see the trick Joseph was pulling on Darby, completely surprised me lol! The Darby battle was pretty funny though~

Avdol gone for real ._. I feel so...conflicted, it was executed so well. Hell, everything was executed perfectly in the second half, the sheer horror and suspense from Vanilla Ice, damn...that text screwed Avdol over. Feel sad for the Jojo gang.

Wow they really delivered here! I enjoyed that D'Arby fight really much. I still had to laugh at how simple that trick was. I still couldn't get enough of the whole soul reading business. Oh man that 2nd half of that ep I forget about how serious and unsettling it all is. I'm really excited for the next ep now!

Definitely the best scene in this episode.. I lol'd too much because of this..



While i'm not really enjoyed the match between jotaro and d'arby, but the finishing is great IMO. I'm surprise that the one who actually play the baseball game is joseph.. and how d'arby get "ora ora" in the end is hilarious XD

But the second part of episode is where shit got real. Pretty intense episode right there.. Well, does avdol really die for sure this time? I hope not.. but i can't see him cheating the death twice .-.

Vanilla ice is one of the best if not the best stand user opponent so far. He is frickin creepy and i think his ability is unique and overwhelming. Now i have no idea how Polnarref and Iggy gonna fight him. I need eps 43 right now!

Overall, it's an excellent episode for me, and i like how they can combine the comedy and serious plot in one episode, can't wait to see it again next week.

Right?! The way his stand ate Vanilla Ice, ate itself, and then blasted through the door was so badass. I replayed that at least 10 times.
