Hope they won't make Jotaro a completely worthless character in order to make Josuke shine in the series.


I feel the same, I'm hoping he has some great fights and value and not just be used as a story connecting character

I mean, he looked creepier in the manga.


If it's the shading, it just so happens that this chapter was one of those special, extra-shaded ones that appear every 9-10 or so chapters (such examples include ch's. 63, 90, 195, 225, 240, and 345. I mention these specifically, sans 345 as of now, because they were incidentally also adapted nicely for the anime).
It's the same as how we get the more-expertly animated episodes per every ~2-3 episodes with DP's JoJo.

well to be fair, Josuke himself looked kinda creepy. This has probably more to do with DP choosing to go for the end-game artstyle for all the characters rather than them "fucking up" Okuyasu's expression. Plus the fight itself did a good job showing us that he and his Stand are menacing alright (or at least would be, if he wasn't such a dummy x) ).

They are, even in this part :D And Part 5 has literary only broken stands. Read the manga :P


Nothing comes close to GER even after 7 1/2 parts. Part 5 may be controversial when it comes to both the protagonists and the main villian, but nobody can deny the glory of the Stands in it.


The upgraded version of D4C was pretty insane as well.

I can't remember anything too OP from part 4 to be honest.
was certainly the least broken Stand of all the main villains (which made for one of the most fair/logical and therefore satisfying fights in the entire franchise imo. No last-minute power ups needed, just using the established powers in clever ways).

I just can't get over how GREATO the animation looks and how smooth and stylish the transitions are. I love the storytelling and the characters as well, but that's something that JoJo has always had, but this new tenouttaten animation is exclusive to part 4 so I guess it just stands out more. Not to say the animation in the previous parts were bad, it was outright beautiful in some places, it's just with a limited budget you can't make everything look amazing. I just hope they have enough budget for this part to keep it up through the whole season.

Part 5 has arguably some of the most broken powers in any anime.

About DIA, I'm not a fan of the art style, it looks cheap and lacks detail in comparison to the manga, while PB/BT and SC were pretty spot-on.
The budget restrictions are pretty visible if you don't look at it with rose-tinted glasses. But the animations were smooth where it really counted, which is during the fights. I don't like the shining aura effects, tho.
I guess it's alright if you didn't read the manga before, but it's clearly no Fate/Stay in terms of production values.
What I really do like are the sound effects and music.

Strong continuity, Josuke said his mom would recognize the Joseph face is she saw Jotaro in a previous episode.

The elder Nijimura brother looks like he could be Polnareff's son.

The (formerly different) Angelo rock in the ending makes sense now. Even goofier. 👌

Yo, Angelo. Lol that Angelo Stone 2.0.

I would never have thought Koichi could get a stand before this ep. He even called himself nobody in the 1st ep IIRC.

That back sliding with Crazy Diamond was awesome.

Still getting used to the artstyle but I still have 36 episodes to go.

That's one really creative use for a reality erasing stand~ The Za Warudo sound effect only made it better hahah

I think that I remember the bow getting a cameo in Dio's Mansion so it's nice that it wasn't being pulled out of nowhere. Shorty just can't take a break...

Okuyasu's stand is truly terrifying, but it seems he's not the brightest to use of it.

Yeah, as much as Dio has one of the strongest stands in Za Warudo. I can definitely see more terrifying stands in the later parts. Even Okuyasu can give Dio some trouble if use properly.

I'm getting used to Josuke's new voice. The animation is truly superb in Blu ray O___O

OH! i finally realize what's so off about this JoJo series. The author finally dropped those ridiculous physiques of the MCs. not sure if i think it's an improvement or not, but the fact that Jotaro looks gooood makes me believe it's at least not worse.

now that that's done, onto the plot! this new retcon for Stands is... weird. i mean if Stands are the manifestation of evil then why the fuck did the Joestar family gain them? or is what the shadow guy talking about only valid Stand users created from that arrow? not enough explanation at the moment.

Man! But the Shaft-esque coloring still puts me off whenever i see the school building from outside. and Koichi seems to be the brains of this series. it'll take some time to get used to it, but then again we have 37 episode to go...

Jotaro's reaction to the new JoJo's mother, as well as her own to seeing him was hilarious! XD
Aaand it looks like my second guess was was the right one, if you're hit by the arrow and are evil you get a Stand. looks like we'll be finally having another character like Speedwagon (who is part of the MCs but has no special powers), just hope he doesn't inherit Speedwagon's inability to shut his mouth.

wow, that's too soon to face the hidden villain. if he does get defeated, i wonder who'll be next and if that person will kill him. since his brother is joining the MCs as seen in the OP.

I really love the insane colour scheme during Josuke and Okuyasu's fight. I'm pretty sure people have already pointed this out, but Okuyasu could have easily defeated Josuke if he used The Hand's ability to erase on Josuke. But yeah, oh well. It would be boring, there'd be no main character, etc. Also, considering he's in the OP (that, and I've seen clips of him being friendly with Josuke), I think it's safe to say that Okuyasu would eventually become an ally. I'm now interested on how that'll happen.

Wait, so how exactly Okuyasu lost? His Stand erased free space between Josuke and him and Okuyasu didn't notice that he also "pushed" flowerpots towards himself, along with Josuke? It looked bizarre. xD

Poor Koichi, I hope he's gonna be alright. I'm rather sure he will be. He appears in the OP, so he must survive, haha. Okuyasu appears as well, so we can assume he will become an ally eventually.

The Joestars' stands manifested after Dio got his. Part 3 began shortly after that which is when we find Jotaro in the jail cell. He was spooked about Star Platinum since he had just recently acquired it.

There are people who have naturally acquired Stands like the rest of the Stardust Crusaders but for the Joestars it was due to Dio getting shot with the arrow by Enya. Since he had Jonathan's body, it also caused the rest of the Joestars to gain stands as well due to that connection.

LMAO, Angelo as asngelo stone reminded me of Kars drifting off in outer space for eternity as a stone. At the very least, people who pass by Angelo would greet him, despite how many times he tears up.

It's cute how Tomoko responded to seeing 'Joseph' at her doorstep, but wow, you can just see the disappointment in her face knowing that Joseph won't be coming instead.

Dio's stand was given by this bow and arrow thing? Don't tell me Kars out of everyone is also the person who made this in his pursuit to be the ultimate being?!

Not much happened, but still a good episode. Josuke's mother reaction to Jotaro was really cute.

The battle had some cool moments, but the way Josuke defeated that guy was a little lame.

So there is a arrow that grant stands to people, and that's how Dio got The World. I wonder if the other characters from SC gained their Stands this way also.

The mastermind behind everything is Kira. That's interesting fr, an arrow that can give you a stand ability. That's how Angelo got his water stand.
He mentioned Dio's name too, so they're related to each other.

Hirose is on something, quite a nerdy guy.

Lmao, the mom mistaked Jotaro for Joseph xD

Nijumura and Kira are working together. Kira is probably using him.

The fights are pretty cool, espically the ''aura'' around them makes it a lot better. The animation and artsyle are good, liking the anime more and more.

The stand, The hand is strong. Sadly, a dumbass used it. The sound effects are fucking epic too. Reminds me of Dio's time manupilation.

Yosuke finally met Kira. And we finally saw his complete face.
Damn, Jotaro mentioned that there can be someone even more powerful than Dio..
