Lisa Lisa is more awesome than I expected. Much respect to her.

I love these trials but if anything, the days in this episode went too quickly at the end. A week until the fight already? I expected more time spent on training and not just a montage at the end. But next week look like an exciting episode as well so I can't complain.

The manga is pretty much the same way with the montage, Araki's never been much for training arcs. It would have been interesting, but I guess he wanted to get to the real action more quickly.

Fun as usual, though I have a taste for longer training arcs than series tend to give. Gaining new techniques can be fun.

Not to ask for spoilers, but I don't suppose we're going to get any explanation why Lisa Lisa and crew aren't just focusing on beating the pillar men themselves? More prophecies or just plot convenience?

There are some reasons and they'll be explained later.
Aside from them, Caesar is already her disciple and Joseph is really talented. Pillar Men aren't that easy to beat, so she wants to get 2 more strong fighters in her team.

Oh, I see. In that case, fair enough. I have a lot of respect for this adaptation since I keep hearing great comments about how accurately it follows the manga. I regret not having read it earlier but if you say that Araki wants to show us the real action more quickly, then by all means, I eagerly await what will happen in future episodes.

The only plot device (outside of ripple conducting matter) is the Red Stone of Aja (Asia) that has the ability to perfect the pillar men in conjunction with the Stone Masks which you see the mask with the hole when they awoken.

No prophesies, only really a destiny. The Stone Mask and the Joestar bloodline are intertwined.

This part of the manga was handled wonderfully. No complaints from me, aside from a spot or two where the low budget was a bit distracting.

When you are talking about the lack of animation, are you referring to that part where Lisa Lisa beats Jojo at the beginning and when she puts that mask on him? That was okay for me.

Yeah, you guessed it. I really hate that the water had to be so completely motionless as she was swinging on the boat paddle. Moments like that make me cringe a bit. x__x

definitely found a new favourite character in lisa lisa. she's already such a calming influence on the show - she's the exact opposite to all these melodramatic, constantly posing men and i love her for it. (i love the melodramatic, constantly posing men as well but it's nice to have a different character type thrown into the mix).

Woh that's one hell of a training, but well Jojo sure managed to learn something from that harsh training! And well it seems they pushed 2 weeks in that ED so lets see what the one week before the ring melts has to offer!

Lisa Lisa is so awesome, she's really cruel xD

Damn, that pillar seemed just too much suffering. But even again, the pillar got tricked by JoJo! That trap was sneaky though -.-

I don't know how being able to control water with his fingers will help him beat the vampire lord, but we'll see...

Lisa Lisa is one fine babe

I'm thinking.. since strong people like Lisa Lisa and her servants exist.. why don't they fight the pillar dudes instead?

A lot of time has passed.. I'm excited to see how strong the two has become.

Whoa, Lisa Lisa is crazy.

I can't believe they managed to climb that thing, barely and it took them so long! How Caesar and JoJo got through that thing was really great though!

I thought they'd show more training though but we got a Rocky style montage sequence to get through most it at the end to then be left with 7 days before the big fight.

I love Owner of a Lonely Heart.

That Hell Pillar sure was something. Taking them both three days to climb it. Any sane person couldn't climb up the wall in the first place. Joseph's clever oil slide trick; I didn't expect that at all~

Awww. I wanted JoJo to strip Lisa Lisa bare... At least I got water pudding.
