| Can someone please explain why Koichi was hanging from Jotaro's coat when time was stopped? Koichi was just standing there when he activated ACT 3's ability, right? And I believe Kira didn't do anything to Koichi before time was stopped because ACT 3's ability was already affecting him. Did I miss something? |

IIRC he held on to Jotaros coat to get closer to Kira as he is too smol |

Echoes 3 freeze is stronger the closer he is to the person who is affected by it. So in order for Kira to not hit the trigger a.k.a "Bite the Dust", Koichi hung himself on Jotaro to pressure him as much as he can. As u can see while watching even then Kira was close to pressing the trigger. But our heroes prevailed. |
| the worst JoJo series, main characters were very shallow, Kira and his Dad were good villains at least |

| Always remember that anime is a niche medium in Japan. Manga sells way better |
| When part 5 gonna come out ? any guess? what a way to die lol Hayato should join Speedwagon. He has the intelligence, courage and good heart. gonna miss this show , looking forward to next one btw is that how you end it lol  Goodbye Morioh. |
 |
| Oh well that was really good overall. This last two episodes made up for a lot of the bullshit of this season. Greato Daze 9/10 |
| Yoshikage sure died a miserable death and got a cruel after death. This was the coolest anime i have watched in 2016 and the best one too. My long time wish was to watch jojo at a longer length and i got it and now i can die happy. |

| A good episode, with an almost anonymous death who suited the bad guy well. Before he ended up in the ghost alley, I was wondering what the guy would become, I didn't figure Jotaro as a killer and it was impossible to lock him. Glad Jotaro made a move during those final moments. 5/5 Funny to watch For a 1.5length series, it felt aimless during a very long time (and it wasn't due to the episodic format, since this wasn't the case with Stardust Crusaders). Of course, some episodes during this period felt above the others, sometimes very "new" (example: the restaurant) and with the addition of the little Hayato the end was great. I would add that like Jôtaro, I am glad Koichi was there. 6.5+/10 Too long for a "storyless" series but some nice eps/ideas. Sometimes very ugly. I hope the next parts will improve somewhere before this reach (if it does) the Steel Ball Run (whose only asset seemed to be the drawings). |

| Ahhhh what a beautiful Dwuang. Damn I just finished it and I feel like watching it again from the beginning. I had some gripes of the voice cast for Josuke but it was all good in the end. Two things I really liked with this adaptation. Kira's character felt a lot more interesting to me, and cooler. And the OP are just off the hook. Breakdown! Breakdown! so good~ Man I wish there was a slice of life series just about Josuke and Okyuasu handing out and their school life, it would be so dope and funny. Greato daze/10 |
 |
| I'm feeling this more than Egypt's arc I mean Kira got what he deserved instead of just died just like that At least not like DIO, he died the easy way But yeah, this Duwang is so beautiful GioGio's time now |

| Oh man this series was awesome, I've always loved the JoJo series and this has every right to sit next to the rest as the best! 10/10! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Finally after 39 episodes we get to see Jotaro fight seriously! I was waiting for that for so long. I really liked this season, but it wasn't as good as Stardust Crusaders imo. Weird how Polnareff was in the ED theme the whole anime, but didn't show up once. Also I kind of wish we got to see Yoshikage Kira's killing spree and more of Reimi's back story. 8/10 |

| Brilliant ending, and a fantastic show. It was good to not listen to the reviews, I found Diamond equally as enjoyable as a whole. In particular the creativity of the stands exploded, particularly instead of thinking of how a stand can be used for battle, I believe the approach was to think of very unique and creative stands and then devise how they can be used in battle. Reverb is an excellent example, though I wished that Koichi could cycle between acts, although that may have made it OP. As usual the only nitpick I have that is consistent with every jojo franchise is plot convenience. It is to be expected from SC, but the fact they can't hear and intuitively feel that a menacing battle was underway is ridiculously over the top bullshit frankly. What happened to the arrow? Did it get destroyed alongside the destruction of the photo ghost? |

Rosny said: Reverb is an excellent example, though I wished that Koichi could cycle between acts, although that may have made it OP. Its Echoes,not reverb,and yea,Koichi can shift between acts.He does it a couple of times in the show.Like during the Koichi and Jotaro vs Sheer Heart Attack he uses his ACT 1 to look for Kira because ACT1 has the biggest range(50 meters),then uses ACT 2 to trap SHA with the "sizzle" letters |

It's wonderful how many people read the manga. Of all the few discussions I've frequented, I've never seen so many passionate manga readers. Ah I remember, you're right. I wonder what the limitations are for switching acts, I do feel like in the hands of say, Jotaro, Joseph or Josuke, echoes could've been utilised with greater efficiency and lethality... |

| what a greato series . i shouldn't have binge through the whole series . seriously i been watching this literally everyday . now i feel empty i want more . 10/10 |

| At last Kira dies, and a fitting death aswell! I was worried he nearly won with the nurse, but got to see he didn't. And Josuke seriously manned the living goddamn hell up with this, easily one of my favourite JoJo's as of now! And damn he trolled Joseph at the end, lol way to priceless xD The invincible baby was adopted in the end...guess Jotaro will get a male boy and that boy will marry the girl, creating the next JoJo I'm assuming...just like with Erina's child and Lisa Lisa! Overall, this was one hell of an amazing journey, even moreso than the previous parts so an easy 9/10 for me. While Dio was a funny charismatic villain, Kira was a serious, charismatic villain who got way too great mind games and he was so damn cunning, truly a better villain than Dio imo. On to the mangas! |
 |
| Perfect ending for Kira, good ending for the show. It has been a wild ride, I've felt annoyed, happy, sad, excited, angry but mostly annoyed at Kira's arc. Overall it's entertaining like your typical jojo show still this is the least that I like. 7 |

Ace_39 said: Out of all the previous JoJo, this has the most satisfying ending. Best SoL of the year. Lol Just being honest here but as someone who read part 4 first I've seen this story twice over unfold and still feel like this has the worst ending out of all the Jojo parts (tbh I only particularly took issue with th endings for part 3 and 4) in the sense that our not only does Josuke get robbed of truly defeating or getting the last laugh/hit against the villain but it's the John Cena/Superman of Jojo in Jotaro that comes in last second and defeats Kira after everything. I remember part 4 until that point was absolutely awesome and as a whole it was but the ending no matter how many time I see it really irked me. Like we spent the entire series growing to love Josuke as the main character then the last 2 minutes of the final fight against Kira Jotaro is the one that steps in and saves the day/basically is the hero in the end. |

Like we spent the entire series growing to love Josuke as the main character then the last 2 minutes of the final fight against Kira Jotaro is the one that steps in and saves the day/basically is the hero in the end. You kinda make it sound like Jotaro is a major character in every part after 3. He is a mentor type in Part 4, briefly shows up in a phone call with Koichi in Part 5, and is basically in a coma for the majority of Part 6. Parts 7 and 8 exist in a separate universe from Parts 1-6. No not what I meant to say at all. He was a major character in 3 and 4 naturally. Part 3 I can halfway forgive because he's the main character. In part 4 he does play "mentor" but on the premise that if he really wanted to he could defeat any of the villains in part 4 including Kira in like half a second of anime-stopped time. Imo Jotaro should've been incapacitated at some part during part 4 by Kira but that's just me. That being said I can let all that slide too but the one thing that just left a horrible taste in my mouth is the fact that Josuke is supposed to be "the guy" and after a long, hardfought standoff with Kira it's essentially Jotaro that runs in at the very end, stops time and ORAORA's Kira to defeat him. Like in a lot of ways the final blows should've been Josuke's as it would've solidififed his coming of age/passing of the torch. Instead Jotaro saves the day again. That's the only part that irks me but it REALLY irked me. Liked part 5 a lot but I might be biased I really liked Giorno. And I loved part 6 and was glad Jotaro was truly in the backdrop this time vs. stealing shine from the characters that should be getting it imo. |
Accelerator48 said: I'll admit Okuyasu's return was a bit Shonen Jump-y, but why would you want any of them to die?This has to be my least favorite part til now. I also didn't like how no main character died it. |

Accelerator48 said: I think it's nice that Morioh is the way it once was again. It would be upsetting if one of Josuke's buds died. And while that works in Part 3 and 5, I think the characters remaining alive in Part 4 is greato.Wiziliz said: it creates more tension. That's why I prefer jojo to so many shonen anime because it's not afraid to kill main characters for good.I'll admit Okuyasu's return was a bit Shonen Jump-y, but why would you want any of them to die? |

Accelerator48 said: Volthoom said: do you have a link for the whole list?Yeah the main reason the entire Part 4 crew survived is because Araki really liked those characters. He has three Part 4 characters in his top ten favorite characters list. Josuke is his favorite, Kira is his second favorite, and Shigechi is his ninth favorite. Which interestingly enough puts Shigechi higher than Dio/DIO who is at number ten.  It's a bit outdated, it's from 2000. |

| It was better than Stardust Crusaders, but I still didn't really have much fun watching the second half. I think I'll skip the next parts. |
 That's some signature, eh? |
| Well, I don't know what to do with my life anymore... |
| I really liked this part, found it more enjoyable than SC. There was a sense of danger with the enemy stand users and Kira but there was also a more happy/fun vibe to balance it (well besides the last episodes). It also felt like the characters were easier to get attached to, especially Josuke compared to Jotaro during SC. Sure Jotaro is reliable but he lacks the charisma of the other Jojos. One thing that bugs me is that they never explained why they showed an injured Josuke as the guy pushing the car that was stuck in the snow back when he was 4 years old and had a high fever. Was that actually Josuke or just the way Josuke remembered him since he didn't actually get a good look at his face other than his hair? Hoping that gets answered in one of the next parts instead of having it serve no purpose other than a random explanation for why he gets pissed when people make fun of his hair. Looking forward to Part 5 whenever it gets animated :) |
 |
| Did I tell you that I love Koichi? Because I love Koichi so much. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| I thought the fight with Kira is going to be a cheap angry come back, but here in this final episode they handled it great. Great ending. As usual the art is fantastic and the OST is great, characters are very cool especially Kira (without him it won't be as cool as it was). Still JoJo suffers from weak story telling full of asspulls even if its for humor and unique style it still lowers the quality anyway. I enjoyed this ride. 7.3/10 |
| What a fucking joke the last confrontation was. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| So, I have marathoned this in 3 days. I gave it the highest score among other parts. It would be perfect if: - MC wasn't shit. This generation's JoJo is a disappointment. Side characters were better, I guess everyone agrees. Cuz he didn't even have that much screen time. - Main Antagonist wasn't shit. Compare him to Dio, charismatic in every way, world threatening, omni-potential, iconic. - Stand powers were not so try hard. The fuck was "Bites the Dust". It doesn't even have a consistent logic. Despite them holes, this was the most enjoyable JoJo so far. Story was bad but characters and execution was good overall. |
