Good episode, I was never fond of Angelo as a character, and his stand is lame, so I'm glad that this episode is out of the way as it's probably my least favorite fight in Part 4 (next to the rat)

Flawless adaptation of the Manga. Loved it! The OP definitely makes sense since it's more flamboyant and less manly, just like how Part 4 is. ED is love tho. <3

I do not like the openings as much as those before, but I like the "Sunday morning cartoon" vibe it gives off and it's starting to grow on me.
Also the ED is spot on. I like it a lot.

I liked the OP not as much as some of the previous (Better than part 1s) but it might grow on me (Cgi being gone is kinda sad but ill live). That ED though got me. Sitting here and i turn my gaze away only to hear a tune start that seems SO familiar and then it started in full force and i was taken back to being a little kid with a (tape or cd cant remember) player listening to Savage Garden on road trips. I love this season.

I always thought the battles in JoJo were pretty creative and crazy but this for me topped the previous 3 parts, I mean he swallowed a freaking glove?!

Oh you though "that" was crazy and creative? All I'm gonna say is, strap in your butt, because you know nothing of Araki's crazy mind.

What about Forever though? Does he like gorillas? The cat


Oh yeah, Forever, that poor defenseless monkey that brutally slaughtered the rest of the crew XD

But actually, Forever was an exception because he was set up to be more of a "moster" than an "animal". Early Part 3 was FUUUUUUUULL of references to Western horror films, and the whole idea of a beast sneaking around a ghost ship killing people fits the bill perfectly. The scene of him and Anne in the shower was possibly even a callback to the shower scene in Psycho.

Oh yeah, good catch. Well I guess we hadn't seen Dio kill any animals in a good century or so, so why not have him kill a cat lol.

Also now that I think about it, we also saw Enya bash a cat over the head with a staff in the beginning of the Empress episode while she was freaking out over her son dying.

Don't forget Dio making cat men abominations in Part 1 and the prissy cat Joseph messes with at the Swiss hotel in Part 2. I'm sure that there's some that we're missing. Cats seem to be more used as the butt of the joke than as villain fodder like dogs are.

Edit: Assuming from the title of the next episode, is this following SC's 'villain of the week' pattern?


Yes but they're a bit more connected than SC. Also most of them are super entertaining so you won't get bored.

Can someone explain to be who Aqua neckless could change the bottle and create a logo for the brandy. Seems like an asspul kinda thing, especially the logo part. Good fight either way but alot of you guys are crazy for saying this is already a better fight than anything in Pt. 3.

So much fucking buildup about the most boring damn villain. I was just waiting for him to actually finally become interesting, and for the reasons for his insanity to be revealed. I couldn't believe that they were trying to build up his character using nothing but worthless shock value.


Okay this guy was episode 1 villian he was just there to show off the main character you can see this in other anime

Then the climax of the episode. Waiting for something great to happen. Expecting Josuke not to act like a dumbass.

And then he refuses to tell his parents about his situation AND leaves his father in the same room with the stand for ABSOLUTELY NO REASON WHATSOEVER. There is ZERO valid justification for any his actions. This is not a teenager being stupid, this is a promising character showing himself to be awfully written and basically ruined for no reason other than to crank out a very emotionless and pointless death scene that was entirely Josuke's fault.


Hey mom and grandpa I have a psychic manifestation of myself like a stand where I use it to fight other people with Stands and risk my life constantly. Also he didn't know Angelo could have turned to Brandy.

What a disaster. I rated part 1 and part 2 9/10, SDC was way worse, but this episode might be the worst piece of Jojo content I've ever seen.

1. That wasn't Josuke's dad. That was his grandpa. Josuke's dad is Joseph.
2. Neither his mom nor his grandpa know that he has a stand. So, telling them about the situation would probably create more problems.
3. Josuke didn't know the full scope of Angelo's powers. So, it isn't too far fetched to think that he would leave his grandpa alone.
4. You do realize that some people are just crazy for no reason, right?

Have fun being the only person that hated this episode.

Man, I thought Josuke was cool as shit here. I mean, he did the whole saving his mom thing pretty much effortlessly and then came up with the glove trick. Definitely don't think he was dumb here. In fact, I'd say he's had the best intro fight aside from maybe his dad in Part 2.

The strategies used during the fight were nice. Angelo is admittedly quite smart. And his ability's really friggin dangerous.


Part 4 battles shine in the strategic department, and even in the psychological. Araki got creative in the possibilities of stands in this arc. I think you will like it.

When the villain tried to pass up like the milkman, unless he hid his stand in the milk by going into the middle, you could say he changed his color to mimetize with it. With that in mind, changing colors to resemble brandy is not an impossibility. The flavor is irrelevant since as soon as he gets into grampa's body he would kill it inmediately, as he did.

The logo could be manipulation of water, creating bubbles inside it so that it looks like the letters and symbols are inside the bottle. It certainly is easier when the bottle is still, and assuming grampa took it without giving it too much attention, as he would do with any of his past brandy's bottles, keeping the shapes intact with the movement doesn't seems like an issue.

I hope that gave you some peace of mind about that thing. Sometimes Jojo can be explained. Other times, it just works.

No it didn't lol. I respect your attempt to try to explain it but I will just have to except that there is really no good explanation without reaching. Still enjoyed the episode and will the series but just as a non manga reader I had to ask incase somebody knew more.

Well, that's an unspoken rule of JoJo. Every stand always seems to have a far-stretched/asspull power which is convenient for the situation. It maybe frustrating to don't get some kinda of explanation everytime, but JoJo is more about entertaining yourself and overlooking this sorta of thing than caring about every detail.

As a HxH fan who sometimes gets a bit overwhelmed by all the explanations of powers, Jojo's method is really freaking nice to me.

get used to that in jojo happens all the time. its way worse in pt3 (Kakyoins paint ability, Star platinum learning the world, a shit ton of polnareffs abiltys, etc.)

kakyoin's paint ability is just hieropant sneaking behind and strike the enemy from behind, you can clearly see this in the ova.
but yeah other than that, it's all kinda an asspull (though there is still a farfetched explanation for 99% weird shit in jojo)

Also, I can't help but be a tiny bit happy about how Angelo bit/chewed the dog's face off and then spat the blood/face-guts into the dog owner's mouth while yelling at him about not picking up after his dog sh!ts and littering (throwing cigarette butts on the ground).
