I was expecting the narrator to summarise the journey again with the first intro theme of season 1

One question though, why does the black guy always have to die first!?

The fight between Jotaro and Dio was intense, didin't expect for Joseph to pull through but it was a nice surprise.

I still think the first part of Jojo's adventure was much better, I never got used to the stand mecanisim even though the main characters were great.
In my opinion Joseph's story was the best.

But Joseph's story is the second part. This is the third :P

Part 2 fully acknowledges that it uses assupulls and uses it as a character trademark for Joseph. It embraces its goofiness and asspulls to further enrich itself. Part 3 tries to be relatively serious about its events, pulls heavier asspulls imo and fully expects the viewer to just accept that it's supposed to make sense.


yup yup Champloo_Remix nailed it
I should have elaborated more but I was kinda angry since I'd just finished lol

remember when Jotaro learned how to stop time in the battle with Dio...yeah that was a thing

Yes. I do remember that.

It wasn't any bigger of an asspull than most of the things that happened in Battle Tendency.

At least we have an explanation as to why he has this power.

There's even a pretty legit fan theory as to why Dio has the same power he does.

Yep, just can't really take that fight seriously. Though that's what happens when you give a villain an OP power, just gonna end up losing to bs.

Also found Joseph getting revived pretty ridiculous. As much as I love the fella (favorite Jojo so far) how the hell do you think it's a good idea to take blood from Dio's body in order to revive him? Just seemed like a pretty stupid decision that for some miraculous reason didn't backfire. Polnareff did tell Joseph during their farewell that he hopes he lives forever so that would be a cool sneaky hint that the blood from Dio's body might have affected him in some way or another but I doubt it.

Overall SC is my least favorite part of the Jojo series so far. Definitely picked up in the second season but the finale was a big letdown for me. Also didn't find Jotaro very interesting. Just felt like they tried a bit too hard to make him look like a cool hoodlum with a few lines here and there rather than focusing on fleshing out his character more. Probably didn't help him that it was a group focus in SC unlike the previous Jojos were it was mainly the MC who got all the focus. That and Joseph is also in SC :P

It's a good idea because Dio needs to pump vampire essence into someone to make them into a vampire.

I liked Stardust Crusaders alot but I think part 2 was better, Joseph's story felt more like a story I guess and Jotaro was too much of a silent strong type for me to relate to. The music was good especially near the end but you can't beat Roundabout no matter what you try.
The ending was fun but a bit far-fetched with returning Joseph to life like that, also Avdols and Iggy's death felt a bit rushed sadly. I hope part 4 will be able to correct the mistakes part 3 had and work with what made part 2 so good.

What mistakes are you referring to?

If your talking about the Monster of the Week format, then I'm sorry, but that's in every Jojo's Part from now on.

What an amazing journey. I'm sad it's over & knowing half of the gang is dead makes it even worse. I liked each one of them & Old Joseph > BT Joseph by far.
Although some minor villains were boring & their stands were meh it was worth. Dio lived up to the hype, he was phenomenal. I'm gonna miss him when reading later parts, rest in peace.
I'm a JoJo fan for sure now, can't wait to see part 4 animated but I'm gonna read it in the meantime. 9/10

monster of the week format wtf, Stand? Ripple was so much more clever, now we have "stands" that came out of nothing while ripple was something more logic

Last fight was shit too, like, what the fuck did Jotaro do? He stopped time too? How?

There was practically no plot is this part, just fillers

And I heard the next parts are stands too

Shit, I liked so much the 2012 anime

The only good things about this part were some 2 or 3 really good and well thought fights


My thoughts exactly. I love the first season of jojo so i was looking forward for stardust crusaders but i was utterly disappointed. Im gonna stay away from the next jojo adaptations.

Part 4 is way better than Part 3, though.

Also, no, the Ripple isn't logical. At all.

Jotaro stopped time because that's Star Platinums stand power. Stand powers aren't unique.

The plot really isn't any different from Parts 1 and 2.

The Ripple is more logic than Stands, they're the power of waves from one's body or some shit

Jotaro stopping time was too convenient, almost childish, disgusting Deus Ex Machina

The series is called JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Part 3 fits the Bizarre Adventure part a lot more than 1 and 2 did. Plus, Araki has stated that he ran out of ideas with the Ripple, and by the end of Part 2 it was pretty much a "whatever I want it to be" power. Part 3 is where the series finds its footing and becomes what it's actually known for.

Also complaining about something in Part 3 being too convenient, haha. Part 1 and 2 pretty much lived on things being convenient or out-of-nowhere.

How did part 1 and 2 have any Deus Ex Machina? The fucking MAIN CHARACTER DIED, fucking main characters died all the way through the series, in part 3 what happens? Main character takes a bullet in the fucking head and survives rofl

1. Hol Horses gun doesn't have the same properties as a regular gun. If you're talking about when Dio shot him, then you clearly weren't paying attention. Star Platinum stopped the bullet from entering Jotaro's head.
2. Are you seriously going to make me explain how 90% of the fights in Part 2 made no sense if you applied any form of logic to them?
3. Are you seriously going to make me explain how Kars' loss was a Deus Ex Machina?
4. More main characters died in Part 3 than they did in Parts 1 and 2.

That doesn't change the fact that the fights from this point on will blow the fights in Parts 1 and 2 out of the water.

I'm just not feeling the JoJo anime as much as when reading the manga, don't get me wrong I think it's decent/good but in the top 100? not really, thought the pacing in the anime was horrible compared to the manga and even this last fight with Dio felt more epic there. Hope I will enjoy the anime adaptation of Part 4 more than this.

Did Joseph actually go and survive this? This is the only reason I'm not downvoting SC to oblivion. Seriously, man, and you even went and acted as Dio, you really were asking for your death, haha. Probably one of the best things about this whole arc.


1. Characters: 1 | Quite honestly Joseph is the main reason I'm giving this more than 0.5, although his age made me feel so nostalgic, he really is the same guy from S1.
2. Atmosphere: +1 | It was pretty well done although I didn't really like the setting for most of the action. You can say the fact I hate the sand scenery they spent so much time in actually means it was pretty well done.
3. OST: +0.5 | The OP in both cours was not to mu taste(the 2nd one bordering cringeworthyness), but the 2nd ED was ever so good, and there were one or two really good themes that played in the background.
4. Animation: +1 | Nothing off about this one, the quality was good enough and it never really dropped noticeably.
5. Background story: +0.5 | As in the minimum background we got to some characters past and the happenings in S1? I guess it was ok.
6. Storyline: +0.5 | The storyline was there for sure, but the endless Stand fights made it last for far too long. You could easily cut the length in 1/3rd and still get as much out of it. I guess that if it served for something good, it was the bonding between the characters.
7. Ending: 1 | Joseph's survival pretty much makes up for a perfect ending for me. I hope, I hope Dio is done for once and for all, I really wouldn't stand another arc focused on his despicable character, I can hardly withstand the idea he dragged us through so much trouble at all.
8. Drama: +0.5 | The deaths of Abdul, Iggy and Kakyouin are not to be forgotten.
9. Overall affect: +1 | It was a great adventure in the end, but the MOTW became tiresome at at some point. I was annoyed with the Joseph disservice for most of the time as well. The only reason I can look back with positive feeling is the conclusion of the story. But seriously, it ain't half bad when I do it.

Overall score: 7/10.

And that was the end. After a 100 year battle with Dio and Vampires, it is finally over. Glad Joseph lived.

May Jonathan rest in peace now.

Polnareff went back to France, I really hope that wasn't the last time we saw him.
Everything ended, the journey was epic, they lost good friends like Avdol,Kakyoin and Iggy but they aren't going to feel bad about it because they achieved the goal!

Dio looked dumb as hell when he transformed.

Still going to miss this part a lot. Definitely had the best cast overall out of the 3 parts I've seen so far. It never got repetitive to me, not in the slightest.

The jokes and the references that the western audience can relate too definitely prolonged it, as well as the characters and how they were able to deal with their problems in certain situations,whether through sheer wit, or with some extra brute force. The end results were always predictable, but that didn't matter to me, I just wanted to see everyone live, even though they didn't.

But I'd still have to say part 2 was still the best imo with Joseph still being my favorite Jojo although Jotaro quickly became one of my favorites as well.

I'm ready for part 4.
