Pretty good episode. I enjoyed watching Caesar in action fighting. Oh the blood and struggles. Loved the soundtrack of this episode and Caesar's declaration.

Wow that ending was just powerful. Caesar!! ;.;

The episode was great, but Jojo and Lisa Lisa was not suppose to be close to the house. The scene was modified compared to the manga. Lisa Lisa doesn't react as in the manga.

Edit: I am wrong, it the same as in the manga.

Great directing in this episode, the last half was very emotional and powerwul.
Unfortunately I am not as knowledgable about opera songs so I don't know which song they used for the last few minutes.
Steel Ball Run anime when?

CAESAR NO!! WWWRRRYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Caesar and Wham were both really awesome in this episode not only through their fights but seeing the kind of characters they are. Starting with the fights, it was pretty intense like watching two alpha wolves fighting each other in a showdown for the ages. I was actually pretty surprised when Caesar had Wham on the ropes with his Bubble Cutter and intellect but then I was reminded of the ominous Zeppeli flashback at the beginning like his grandfather before him.

After Caesar got owned and was punching Wham senselessly I liked how Wham didn't finish him off and just let him be since Caesar was going to die already. Wham really does hold honor among warriors in the highest regard. In true Zeppeli fashion though, Caesar gave his last ripple through a bubble which just made my heart sink. To even add to the tragedy though, a boulder crushes him in the form of a cross akin to being a martyr like Jesus. Maybe I'm just reading too much into the symbolism there.

Finally David Productions, puts me into manly wailing mode with the Opera music when Lisa Lisa and JoJo piece together what happened. After they saw Caesar's Bloody stream coming out of the boulder, I was wailing with them in my mind being swept up in the mood.

All I have to say is GOOD FUCKING JOB DAVID PRODUCTIONS AND ARAKI sensei

Kinda weird to think this is a Shonen Jump series when you compare the execution to others in that magazine. Just on another tier along with HxH

Indeed Wail, this is when things get the best until Part 3 of course.

I cannot wait. Cars and Wham will pay.

Also, where is that troll that has been lurking around here. He has said nothing about this episode.

There's a reason why this series is hailed as a classic and why Battle Tendency is the favourite of many Jojo fans.
I eagerly await Ben Hur next week.

Well, I knew it was gonna happen. It was sad in the manga but I didn't cry there. But seeing this episode actually made me shed a few tears.

Awesome episode. Ceasar died a man's death. Probably the most emotional death in the entire franchise. Although
comes close.

Really emotional ending with perfect BGM throughout the episode.
The fight was awesome, Caesar has grown a lot and deserves the respect Wham gave him.

This was my favorite episode so far. The animation was much better than last week's episode and they really directed it perfectly.

Lisa Lisa and JoJo's scene after the fight was spot on. I Couldn't ask for anything more.

And there's still plenty of good stuff to come!!

Dude seriously! Everything about this episode was perfect. Best fight so far imo, and the emotional level just went through the fucking roof with the bloody stream coming from under the cross, and the music just fit so perfectly.

Masterpiece episode. My favorite so far.

I request a moment of silence to honour the many fine talents at David Production, Araki-Sensei himself and of course the memory of Caesar Zeppelli, as this episode was nothing short of incredible. It was by far the best episode tonally to come out yet.

Can't wait for next week...

I guess that the end of the Zeppeli's line in that fight against the stone masks and their maker, so who is going the save the Joestar's ass now?

Even though I knew what was going to happen I still was hoping that he would survived. I cried for Caesar more than for his grandpa.

The most epic larger-than-life death scene (or should I say, episode) of a character I have ever seen for a long long time. Superb directing and seiyuu performance. The special ED is really tear-jerking. And all the symbolism like the cross-shaped debris fell onto Caesar... I really could not stop my tears from flowing down my cheeks.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Maybe i am alone but i found his death quite a waste because he actually seem to have lost when he shouldn't. His grandfather gave his life to rescue JoJo against a stronger opponent but Ceasar didn't actually saved anyone and he could beat Wham if he was careful but instead wasted his life. He basically blew it. He had the measure of Wham and he went all "i will directly kill you". Before he did it i was thinking "why risk getting close? Just throw a tone of those cutters now that he can't move" and it seems my thinking proved correct.

True, it is a waste, but he showed his desire to save at least JoJo by grabbing the pierce ring with antidote. He knew he blew it but as a last act he tried to at least save someone he befriended and bonded. In this aspect he actually saved someone and has followed the Zeppeli's spirit.

As for "why risk getting close? Just throw a tone of those cutters now that he can't move" , it is exactly as you said, it could immobilize him but could not get him killed. And he was about to sneak out of it by using the wind shield again. If we have to complain about anything that would be how Caesar should have approached Wham from another angle so that his body would not block the refracted sunlight hitting Wham, not that he should have not approached him to deliver the final blow.
