Nice, more Rohan this episode.

So we got more tense drama and action between Josuke and Terunosuke. Pretty thrilling action imo and I find the Engima letter segment to be priceless. Plus we got mind games that Josuke tries to play against Terunosuke. Glad to see Koichi back too :D

Right in the face!

Really good episode. I lol'd so hard at the gun coming out of the paper.

Idk why but I was a tad surprised that they had the Pepsi logo in full glory in the episode.

I didn't really understand the changes they did in this episode. In the manga, Yuya Fungami purposely let himself to be turned into paper so that he could fuse with the other papers and made Terunosuke push them out. Here he somehow made Highway Star kick them out??

Sigh the animation is absolutely deplorable yet again, I pray they deliver well for the Kira finale
That scene with Rohan trying to get Cheap Trick off his back with that deplorable animation is quite hilarious.
July 15th continues onto next episode but we should be getting some more Kira action as well.

I agree, but in all honesty I might be the only one on it. But I like the presentation or certain effects or stills ,I feel dp take on it (at the cost of animation). But then again DP did the orginal DIOs world with a dissapointing animation (until the blue-rays fixed most of the scenes) ,So dont expect much for the final kira fight.

Akira kills Okuyasu's brother, steals a ton of stuff, tries to kill Joseph and Okuyasu, and only gets sent to jail.

Terunosuke kidnaps Josuke's mom, immediately sets her free, and gets turned into a book for the rest of his life.

Josuke's sense of morality is a little confusing.

Did we watch the same episode? I thought the animation and art was great! They don't have as big of a budget for Part 4 so they are spreading their budget. They're really picking it up for the finale. Part 4 isn't as popular in Japan so that's why their budget isn't the best. Overall, Part 4 still has great animation and art and I'm sure they'll touch it up for the blue-ray!

Is 5 episodes enough for Bites za dusto and the end of part 4 or is going to be fast paced manga readers?

Yeah you clearly didn't watch the same episode as the rest of us, maybe you're from the future and you've watched the BD version that somehow fixed everything.
I don't buy Part 4 not being that popular in Japan, it's not as popular as Part 3 but I'm pretty sure it's up there compared to the rest.
"Overall, Part 4 still has great animation and art"
I wouldn't describe it as great at all for the TV version, it's just meh to me and a clear drop in quality compared to the previous parts.

Lol. That poor guy has the same fate like Angelo. What's wrong with Josuke? He doesn't deserve this in the slightest.

Anyway as i said the episodes feel somewhat rushed after the "superfly introduction" episode. Not a fan of this.

Part 4 is definitely not has popular as Part 3. Japan loves Part 3 and Part 5. Part 4 being not as popular in Japan makes it so sponsors are less likely to support it and give it more money. In my opinion, at its best Part 4 has really nice art and animation and I would argue that its better than previous parts but that's just me. It's certainty isn't the worst, and it's certainly not deplorable. Whatever the case, DP is doing a great job nonetheless with what they have. I have no doubt that they will deliver with the last two arcs.

Episode was great, animation quality wasn't as bad as the episode where they first introduce killer queen and there were some cool scenes here and there.
This is one of the reasons of why I love part 4 the most, the stand ideas were so simple but so creative.

But still, I'm so curious about what happened to the taxi driver.

Paper guy turned out to be quite the challenge. Fungami saved the day even though he didn't want to get involved in any of this stuff. Lol that was some intense paper unfolding. Shit like this is one reason why I love this series. It's too damn absurd in many ways. And the paper guy ends up turning into a book. Good job, Josuke.

The architect ends up dying when Rohan sees his back because there was a stand with its own free will getting a piggyback ride. Now that stand is Rohan's. Can he control it? The stand said that no one could control him so can Rohan control him? He's telling Rohan to delete the pictures he took while trying to find out who Kira is. And Rohan has to get help fast otherwise the stand will annoy him to death lol.

Anticipation for the finale of DiU is rising exponentially with each passing week, can't take it!

It's fitting that Rohan gets possessed by Cheap Trick after pulling such a dirty one on its original user. At least he wasn't turned into a book however (JoJo loves its "fate worse than death" endings).

Yuya is actually quite cool. Love the fact that DiU's stand users don't have to remain enemies forever and not all of them have the same motivation compared to Stardust Crusaders "everyone wants Dio's dick and is evil".

Great Days is growing on me in a greato way.

Koichi sitting like a gangsta is the highlight of this episode.

Well, they defeated Enigma for good and Yuya is confirmed to be a total bro. Love him a lot. The Enigma dude's punishment was satisfying and horrifying at the same time. He basically had Angelo's treatment.

Meanwhile, Rohan has his own problems with this Cheap Trick. Poor Kinoto though, he didn't deserved to die ;_;

And after the next episode we will start finally the
arc. And considering Kira cannot handle his murderous boner anymore, it will be sure intense...

Great episode. Cheap Trick is one annoying Stand for the User. LOL Rohan trying to shake him off.

Terunosuke should of listened to Josuke & ripped the piece of paper when he trapped him.
Yuya was cool this episode. Nice save. Josuke & Koichi showing off their cool poses.

LOL Terunosuke became a book. Never piss off a JoJo.

I really do love it when Josuke gets mad...I can't believe he turned Terunosuke into a book. Josuke is unknowingly responsible for all these new "landmarks" and now there's a mysterious, talking book to add to the mix!

By far the most interesting parts of this episode were getting into Yuya's head a little more (I really wish he would've been introduced sooner) and ofc those little tidbits with Rohan. Seems like we'll be getting more of him next episode and hopefully some Kira and Jotaro as well! I can't wait!! Although poor Kinoto didn't deserve to die...ouch, Rohan your curiosity literally just killed a man.

Question is, who will reach Kira first...Josuke, Rohan or Jotaro?? My guess is that it might be Jotaro, but as an anime only, I'll hafta wait and see.

Then again, Josuke said he'd take on the will of his police officer grandpa. It's only natural he'd want to 'book' Terunosuke.

Cheap Trick has its own will like Anubis, yes. Though while Anubis serves DIO out of respect, Cheap Trick just seems to be an asshole. Or maybe it's just grateful for life. We never get a solid reason.

This has to be one of my favourite battles in the Jojo universe. Yuya mans up and pulls Josuke out of trouble. This isn't about two guys defeating an asshole, this is about a guy who earns his manliness and fights said asshole head on, and show that in a battle, one guy is the badass, and the other is the spineless pussy.
(It's Terunosuke. He's the pussy)

And plus, the battle is a visual masterpiece.

Also, how come that guy got turned into a book? Aside from being confusing it seemed pretty unfair if you think that Josuke isnt that cruel when it comes to enemies that havent done something unforgivable.


They're cutting edges, so some scenes were kinda condensed, like Yuya tracking Terunosuke. The most strange one is how they changed the outcome of Yuya's plan of turning himself into paper, seeing how he did that in manga so he could merge with the other papers at the same time Terunosuke was pulling him off.

It is? Well that's news to me. I guess the information I got was a little off. However, I bet that the parts in 2nd and 1st place are Parts 5 and 3. Part 3 still got a better budget that's for sure. I guess Parts 1 and 2 got a better budget so they could kickstart the new Jojo anime. I'm sorry if I sounded ruder than I intended to be.

What a convenient ability! With Enigma, you don’t need to check baggage nor do you need to have carport. I wonder what the taxi driver’s thinking when he’s trapped in the paper.

Definitely didn’t expect Yuya to help at the risk of his life. I guess even a street punk can have some golden spirit. Koichi’s pose was so damn cool after he’s released from the paper.

BTW, does Pepsi sponsor the anime?
