So the truck driver didn't do shit when there were 2 people in front of his truck, but when a photo got stuck to the windshield, he instinctively turned the wheel and then returned.

This arc was godawful in the manga, so one episode is the perfect number of episodes to adapt it into.

That being said, despite the low quality art and animation, the episode had its moments. Whoever did the Janken boy's voice did a great job with the material.

This episode was hugely disappointing compared to the recent string of Kira episodes. I sincerely hope we never see this kid again.

One thing I've noticed about Diamond is Unbreakable: the quality is all over the place.

Well, if you are talking about production values, yeah a 3-cour anime can be really harsh for a studio, especially a relatively small one like DP. A lot of episodes are being outsided by other studios because they can't handle it.

Just the quality of Part 4 in general(not so much the production values), especially when you compare this episode to the stellar Kira episodes we had.

Yeah Part 4 has been noticeably worse than the prior arcs in terms of art/animation. I mean I know the other seasons had their derpy moments, but they still were overall better looking shows.

I wish Warner Bros. would give DP a better budget. Maybe after the show (hopefully) becomes more popular in the west due to Cartoon Network, they'll get better resources for the Part 5 anime.

Part 5 is huge in Japan.

They'll get more resources regardless.

I hate to say this, but this ep is the weakest one so far. However, one person's garbage is another's treasure. I know that RPS fight is someone's top 10 favourite fights in JJBA series. So good for him.
The only things enjoyable for me were Rohan's inner thoughts on the trio, his punching the annoying kid, pretending to have nothing to do with the lost baby and the baby's gesture.
Since RPS can make them flying, I guess no one would complaint about Dio & Jotaro's flying at the end of part 3 anymore.

Not my favorite either, but the manga version of this episode's better, and makes more sense (latter is the same with the previous ep, too). They condensed 6 chapters into this one without bothering to withhold the OP & ED, making this the second-most rushed JoJo episode yet after Phantom Blood's episode 4 (7 chapters w/ OP & ED).

It's the "anything" that happened. For 26 episode that isn't all that much. Compare it to First Season(2012). To be fair even SC 1 felt more eventful.

The poses during the game were contributing a lot to the "battle", but the sky jumps were too much. (are they so dinstinctively high in the manga?)

At least remove the hole in that kid's cheek. It's really creepy. Also how come Rohan was suddenly holding the baby? Joseph was holding the baby and they walked away. What the hell happened?

I still think that it's really ridiculous that Kira's damn father is doing all this. First of all, he's supposed to be dead, he's a ghost in a picture. He can control everything in that picture, that's fine. But he can get out of that picture as well. And now he's flying because of that arrow. That's fucking ridiculous and unfair. I say he's probably feeling more alive now that he's a ghost.

It wasn't as good as the other episodes but it certainly was bizarre~ From that random cheek hole to the over-the-top Stand flying just to play Rock Paper Scissors lol

It seems that luck has become a canon concept in the Jojoverse xD It's impressive that Heaven's Door can manipulate anyone into doing anything regardless of status just as long as he writes it down.

This is what's bothering me about this episode, and it shocks me that no one else here has talked about it at all. Heaven's Door is a close-range stand. How on earth did he use it to write on the baby when it was so far away, and more importantly, how did no one else notice it happening when everyone there is a stand user, and therefore able to see stands? It just doesn't make any sense.

Only in JoJo can two people get so excited playing Rock, Paper, Scissors that they literaaly start flying! XD
kinda reminded me of how Jotaro and DIO started flying in their fight, without any reason whatsoever, near the end of Stardust.

also talk about over-dramatic! it's just a fucking game! true, your Stand will become useless, but will only be brought down to normal.

I wonder if he planned that swerve or it was just pure luck :O

Lol the kid loses and tries to get away by Isekai'ing himself with Truck-kun.

Rohan's luck got so high he saved him by literally jumping in front of the truck so it'd swerve around him. That was crazy

The kid was annoying. But Rohan could have easily written: "I WANT THIS KID TO STOP BUGGING ME" or something. Lol. Rohan is so petty yet funny in this episode.

"You won because you cheated, you coward!" Yeah, 'cause you're stealing his stand's energy or something. Of course he'd cheat!

JANKEN! xD Man, that duel was even more intense than fighting with older D'Arby brother. I was like "what the heck?!" while watching its last phase, when they seemed to go full power. Too bad the kid is not gonna fight with his powerful Stand, but at least he won't use it for evil doings.

Ah, a more relaxed ep at last... It's nice that JJBA is not so fixated on just the main antagonist and the main characters of the series. I love this nice lil ep!

This kid actually got quite a terrifying ability, similar to the gambler/gamer brothers from JJBA Part 3. An ability that absorb stand's ability!!!

Since when does Polnareff have a kid in Morio? I like his Alphonse Elric stand. I've never seen such an energetic way to play rock-paper-scissors. XD Maybe he could remove the babys' stand ability. But it may kill the baby.
