Akira's guitar play is kinda catchy.

Intense episode, loved the way they adapted the fight between Josuke and Akira with his stand. (even the part with the tire!) Josuke's tough talk to Akira after he got cocky is also funny. Red Chili Peppers may be crazy but I think he's hell entertaining to watch.


Also what a tease! Can't wait for next arc.

This was a fantastic episode!

Did they skip out that awesome guitar page?

The ending scene with Josuke and Joseph was cute. 3 Jojos in one part, get hyped.


That. Ending.Scene. Though. bruhhh, I'm done.

This is definitely my favorite episode of the season so far, next to the Lock and of course Tonio. No coincidence it was directed by the same people.

Actually hearing Akira's solo made this fight much better.

Three Jojos in a single scene...!

It's good to see Joseph again. Originally I though that he will finally get some rest but it seems no. Still it sure is sadding to see how the age got to him although remembering the life and everything he had to go through, the fact that he is still alive is nothing but a miracle.

Now that I think about it, Joseph already had his funeral at the end of the Part 2. But maybe because he didn't die at that point he cheated death to the point that the death itself forgotten about him.

He really changed the family rule where men of Joastar family does not live till old age. :)

Aw that Joseph and Josuke scene, if only the animation and visuals didn't look so low budget.
They've adapted 4 chapters, meh they better not fuck up the pacing on the best parts.
Those hand teases, we've still got a couple of stories to go before Part 4 takes off.

Ohhhhhh that was nice. I've been wanting to know what Akira's guitar playing sounded like after Josuke broke his pinky, and it surpassed expectations. Great episode, and the whole hand things is really creepy.

Akira's guitar play was super cool, love the unpredictable battle as well

Seeing Joseph right now makes me kinda sad, I mean, he was pretty cool and youthful even in Stardust Crusaders, and now he is getting too old to hear or remember something clearly

YES! Best Episode of the first cour!

Also, awesome guitar solo by Akira! His character design is done perfectly.

Best JoJo is back! Though he's too old to even stand straight now. Time doesn't forgive anyone :(

Also, David Bowie's cameo :v

Probably the best episode of this season for now. Chili Pepper sure took some time to be defeated. Lol at Okuyasu at the end. And we finally get so of best JoJo, Joseph!

That Guitar guy had some nice skills with the guitar I must admit

Seeing my boy Joseph like this was kinda funny but yet at the same time it's really sad since it looks like he's doing pretty bad :(

I'm happy that they were able to beat Chili Pepper in the end though and that ending was just too heartwarming :''')

I hope that the woman that we saw at the end isn't Josuke's mom btw

Akira is rockstar as fuck. Actually hearing him play guitar makes him so much better than the manga. Still don't really get why a hardcore rocker would go on a killing spree but he looked fabulous doing it so whatever.

Old, old Joseph makes me really sad. Still can't believe he changed so much in 10 years.

That tease at the end tho.

I thought it was weird that an electric stand should be called Red Hot Chili Pepper when that name conjures up a fiery image, but in this episode the stand user's guitar also proclaims that it wants to kill someone's mama? 100% sure that his stand should have been named Zappa.

Amazing adaptation, the father/son reunion was actually quite touching, something I didn't feel when I read the manga.

Damn, that guitar solo was rockin'.

Shame to see Joseph old and senile after how awesome he was in parts 2 and 3, but at least he's not like that all the time. He managed to be coherent when he was asking Okuyasu about Josuke.

And holy shit, the guy with the dismembered hands is back. I thought that was Angelo, I was wrong.

The ending is one of my favorite scenes in all Jojo, and the next episode will adapt one of my favorite chapters in Part 4.

Great episode so far, Akira had a lot of reaction pics lel

I wasn't expecting for the stand user to appear like that, Akira was cool and was a great guitarist.
Okuyasu is really funny,lol, he was going to punch both to figure out who is the enemy.
Joseph is a mess, aging sucks.
Josuke holding hands with Joseph was cute.

You silly old man, that's not osomatsu! Rohan is osomatsu in this adaptation remember?

I was really just looking forward to this episode for Joseph, but I have to say Akira and his sick shredding stole the show, it may even be my favorite individual bit of animation in the entire part so far.

It was a little bit sad to me seeing Joseph in such a weakened state now, but the father son moment at the end was very heartwarming. Also Okuyasu made me laugh with how he caught Akira. "I was just going to punch both of you! I'm not that smart, you know!"
Looking forward to next week

Probably best episode so far. Loved everything about it.

I actually liked Otoishi. His skills with the guitar + the performance of his seiyuu + his expressions + his fabulous design made the character for me. The fight with him was very cool. I love how Josuke uses the head when he is fighting. He is really the son of his father.

Okuyasu was the best this episode. His reaction to knew who was the false member of the Speedwagon Foundation was hillarious. Glad that he was the one who defeats Otoishi for good, he was the one who deserved the most to beat him.

The reunion of Joseph and Josuke was really sweet. I felt that deeply. Kinda sad seeing Joseph in that state, but understandable considering his age.

That scene at the end... made me really hyped! (even there still a time until we reach to that part).

Ah, I misrembered that then. Somehow, I'd thought each new Act could use the powers of the earlier ones. Cool.
