 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| The fight was good, but it is very weird the way he hold the sword with the hair. |
| Dio leaves? How convenient. |
 |
| Mediocre or average manga series. |

| Underwater fighting to the extreme? 4/5 |
 |
| I was pissed off at first when JoJo didn't see that "sword" attack coming, but he immediately redeemed himself with his quick thinking there. |
 |
| Incredible how can fight Jonathan under the water!!! |
| The hairs gimmick owould be okay for a zombie (and a funny joke based on the fact hairs still grow after the death). But Bruford lost me when he started rambling about how he developed the technique when he was still alive. 2/5 No DIO, no reason to read? |

| More cool backstory for the knights. |
 |
| Yeah, there's no way that could ever happen. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Even underwater where breathing's almost impossible, Jojo used his lightning quick thinking and applied both his knowledge and the life lessons he learned from Mr. Joestar to find a way to get a deep breath and finish off Bruford with a Water Torqouise Blue Overdrive. |
 |
| Will that attack be enough? |
 |
| I have some questions such as why do Bruford and Tarkus look so cool and human when all the other zombies are corpse-like and gross when Bruford even said that Jonathan was their “warm up after 300 years” so they couldn’t suck any blood to rejuvenate? I have questions about if the undeadified zombies suck blood in the same way as vampires, Bruford seems to… I have questions regarding why Bruford seemed to be as strong as Dio’s first masked appearance by flicking a nose off, is it purely because of how strong he was when he was alive? Further, how is Bruford’s hair basically a third arm…? I know there's crazy things in the series like the mask, like the vampires, like the ripple energy, it is not realistic but at the same time everything in it follows some sense of rules. One could say supernatural like the mask may exist therefore the hair is plausible, but that feels weird to me. The supernatural comes from unlocking special breathing techniques or wearing a crazy ancient mask that unlocks latent human abilities. One could probably for example transfer ripple energy into their hair and use their hair as a weapon. In fact I had wondered “does Bruford understand how to use ripple energy?” when I saw how his hair worked, however I don't think it's suggested that. Plus, it can't be chopped up to crazy zombie powers because he used his hair as a living man to get through that crazy trial!! (The trial idea is super radical by the way, each win adds to your weight and makes the climb and the subsequent battles even harder.) But there's no time to worry about all these little things because this chapter ruled!!! As I'm sure many of us suspected we saw Bruford show something other than evil. He had a sense of honor, a sense of pride. Once he saw Jonathan as a gutsy man he decided to go against Dio. He killed the extra zombie and wanted to act on his own will, he wasn’t a puppet to Dio, he is not that controllable. Later once he saw Jonathan reflexes he even put away his sword to make them have a fair match. “This is a duel between heroes” is a line that stood out to me. Then, instead of leaving himself open and swimming up to catch the one breath he needed to survive this fight, Jonathan chose to swim down!! He looked for a pocket of air so that he could use his ripple energy and took Bruford off guard. Jonathan made a good point, water is very harmful to his power as he cannot breathe, but if he can catch a breath then the whole pool of water has become his ally. My thought was that he was going to turn all of the water against Bruford by altering its ripples, however, I was definitely thinking of something far more complex. All Jonathan needed to do was use the water to transfer his energy all the way over to Bruford. This kind of problem solving is what I referred to as the creative power of this kind of technique in a prior thread. As for a few small things I would like to mention: Tarkus has surrounded Zeppeli and Speedwagon, let’s hope Zeppeli can get his arm unfrozen with Speedwagon’s hot abs quick enough to get his own fight! Maybe him and Speedwagon could work together, that would be great. Jonathan already got his spotlight so they could use some, assuming Bruford is down but he may have some life in him.. potentially, although it looked like he split his brain in two. Dio did more cliche villain things by assuming his foes couldn’t win and leaving which gave them a chance. And, I think we should keep the other knights who passed the trial that Bruford and Tarkus did in mind. It seems weird to me that Dio would travel the world to get these five specific heroes on his side, especially since he seems to target vengeful or evil people, not simply strong people. However, what is more weird to me is to list the names of the heroes who passed that trial. Why would it not just say “they were 2 of the 5 who did”, instead it listed their names and gave a descriptor of sorts. That, to me, seems to appoint some importance, although I can concede it makes it seem more real if that was the sole intention. |
| That fight under the water was nice... but all the things that happened so far are completely unique tho |
| Great fight underwater. Jojo good thinking saved him here. |

| Underwater Turquoise Blue Overdrive sounds wacky but cool at the same time |
