JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken: Ougon no Kaze Episode 9 Discussion

My views about the episode:

1. Giorno had to do a test (although stupid) for entering the gang, but Bruno became a hood by just delivering the money? Man, that's way too cheap. It is increasingly visible how they are following a favorable path.

2. In retrospect, all the deal with the two guys who wanted the treasure, seems pointless beacuse even if they managed to extract the location from Bucciarati, without him they would never have obtained it.

The test's main purpose was to create stand users within the gang, so it wasn't actually a test. You were supposed to fail in the first place and become a stand user. To be fair though, Part 5's plot points rely a lot on convenience, it isn't the greatest plot, but it's JoJo and plot doesn't matter in JoJo.

Episode was pretty good. I remember not really enjoying this fight in the manga, so we'll see how next episode goes.

Also, unpopular opinion: the stand names being ripped straight from the names of famous bands and songs always came off as lazy and uninspired to me, so I have no problem with the names being changed. That being said...they did a better jobs with the names in part 4 than they have been in part 5 so far.

Polpo could realize that Giorno was a stand user if he would have used his stand directly in the prison. Stardust Crusaders has a much simpler plot but it's overall better written. No matter how manly or style over substance can be Jojo, if most of the plot points of this airing part rely on conveniences, it will be bad, and it should be obvious to this point how they are following a favorable path.

I'd definitely call it an unpopular opinion because I think it's the exact opposite. Naming Stands after actual songs shows just how much inspiration Araki's taken from his enjoyment of western music, it's one of the most unique ways to name abilities to date. Far, far better than giving Stands generic names like "Shooty Plane" or "Zipper Man".

I disagree. Stardust Crusaders had an extremely simple plot, sure, but it had one big end goal of killing Dio which took a looooong time to reach, leading to the series dragging in the middle. Part 5 has smaller goals such as finding Polpol's treasure, bodyguarding Trish, so the end goal of Giorno becoming the boss wouldn't seem so far off, and the audience has some small payoffs in the middle so they won't get bored.

Also in part 3, the characters have almost no development save for Polnareff. All the characters of Part 5 have development and interesting backstories which tie in with the theme of Fate. Even minor villains like La Squadra have a backstory and personality. The minor villains of Part 3 were also mostly uninteresting except for the D'arby and other few.
