Bad Company is a great Stand.
Now we have to wait to see what Koichi's Stand is going to be.

This fight is even better than in the manga. I'm even more excited for future fights, this is such a good adaptation. The OST was spot on too. Okuyasu is adorable <3

Greato, I was hoping they'd end it there and not just before Josuke repaired the missiles.

Good things Bad Company doesn't have any snipers, Josuke would have lost already if it does.

Wonder if Bad Company could put a fight as good as that if they fought outside or in any open-space

Nice to see Okuyasu help out Josuke.
Keichou's stand "Bad Company" is really cool. Got himself a miniature army & they can deal a lot of damage.
Koichi is alright & now has a stand. Wonder what his Stand looks like inside that egg.
Awesome to see Josuke use those missiles against Keichou. Josuke has always got a plan up his sleeve.

Non manga reader but wasn't really too impressed with this stand. Feels like the worst one introduced so far. Is this the end of the fight ?...the build up was neat and all but it just seems anticlimactic and rushed the way jojo just ended him like that in 2 seconds. Not enough pay off if you ask me.

Worse company, and I can't deny. Worse company, till the day I die.

This has got to be the most creative stand yet, and it's only the 3rd enemy stand introduced! I'm super hyped to see how awesome and creative future stands are going to be, especially Koichi. I mean, it better be awesome with all the build up it's had.

I guess in Italy we don't have any copyright issue, i just watched the episode on an italian legal streaming site and they didn't change the names.

Yeah, back in the day Prince threatened to sue Araki because of some of the references. There was no actual legal backing to it but it scared off some foreign releases of JoJo and now anyone who licenses it in the States is too scared to use the original names.

I have to wonder if Josuke effectively changed Koichi's personality by healing him. You need a fighting spirit to have a Stand, and Koichi didn't qualify. But now he's healed and DOES have a Stand, so he has to have a fighting spirit by that logic.

Already we saw him planning to take out Keicho with his egg in a life or death situation when he was cowering from some school bullies just a few episodes back.

That was some badassery over there. Josuke is one hell of a cool badass. Okuyasu's nii-san loved playing with those toy soldiers and stuff so his stand is also a whole army with soldiers, tanks and apaches. And his stand is called Bad Company (which somehow means "Worse Company" in english just like how "Crazy Diamond" means "Shining Diamond"). And this guy launches an all out assault on Josuke after Okuyasu helps save Koichi.

Lol Okuyasu's nii-san's plan went perfectly – he first got Josuke's leg, then his arm and then was about to get his head but Josuke turned things around by fixing a missile.

Koichi laid an egg lol. And that egg has yet to hatch which will reveal the true face of his stand, that is, assuming his stand is something more than an egg lol.

Can't they just use Crazy D., B. Company etc.? That should be the best solution I think...

Anyway this was an eggstremely good episode.


I remember hearing somewhere that they are using the same versions of the names that were in the English version of All Star Battle.

We'll know if that's the case if RHCP becomes Chili Pepper and Killer Queen becomes Deadly Queen in the subs.

Awesome episode. Bad Company is one of the coolest Stands ever. I wonder if this stand could evolve
- Better equipped soldiers
- Upgraded helicopters & Tanks
- Special Forces
- Bigger unit size

I wonder if the killed soldiers respawn after some time?

Their names are the same in English. The subtitles just change the names to avoid copyright infringement.

More than likely. Silver Chariot's sword was destroyed a few times in Stardust Crusaders, but it always grew back.

He did in the manga too. You probably just didn't realize it because in the manga, there's no way to know that he's saying "gureito" in Engrish instead of the Japanese word for great.

The dialogue was awkward in this episode and the aura of stands weren't as good as previous episodes. Nice episode still, they really made bad company look more intense than the manga.

It gets better too. This is why Diamond is Unbreakable is my favorite part. Can't wait to see Koichi in action, animated.

I also thought it was kind of stupid how it was translated to Worse instead of just saying Bad.

I can't wait for the OST to come out, there was a damn nice track playing when Josuke rushed towards Keicho reflecting all the bullets, the track calmed down when Josuke fell for the Landmine and then had the beat drop again when Keicho threw the missiles, it has some majestic electric guitar riffs and what seems to be choirs going "ooaaaoooaa"

The animation seems to have improved a bit in this episode, i dunno, i felt a lot of things were more fluid than in the previous one.

Just watched them DAMN! XD Great episode. I reeeeeeeeally wanna know what his stand is I CAN'T WAIT GAAAAH!! XE Also I know that methodical thing is definetly gonna be his downfall if he isn't dead already. I only watching this anime so I have no idea. I don't have much access to manga in my area sadly :C First thing I thought when they said he had to get the arrow back I thought (well why doesn't Diamond fuse the arrow into a wall?) but I guess he couldn't coz he has to get it off him first and then he could use his little army to shoot the wall apart. plus the army is so cute lol X3 what do you guys think?

Did he really? I read the manga in Japanese and I don't recall that, I found him constantly saying it in the anime here kind of strange, like they are going overboard to emulate Joseph's iconic "oh my god".

I know he said it at times, and I just looked back at my JP manga volumes and saw a few グレートだぜs, but for me anyway it wasn't something I recall seeing that much. Perhaps he does it in the beginning a lot but Araki stopped doing it?

Yeah, apparently he does do it a lot more in the beginning of Part 4. I guess just check the content that the anime's covered so far.

A lot of the gags are more prevalent at the start of Diamond is Unbreakable, I think.

After this particular instance with Keicho, for example, I'm pretty sure remarks about Josuke's hair come up a lot less.

It was a funny japanese version of Battleground (S.King). This style of "grouped mini-beings" was original after all those Stands from Stardust Crusaders. I suppose there will be even more surprising powers in this installment, since the author decided to go beyond the Tarot. (only read the third first parts)
About Stands powers, Josuke's Crazy Diamond is in fact another close-combat/time manipulation Stand in the same vein as The World and Star Platinum? If yes, does it mean that the time control aspect of this Stand will grow stronger throughout the story (like how the timestops and resistance against it of the two opponents get better during the final fight) ? Also, are all the next "Joestar" Stand users doomed to get this "class" of Stand/ability ?

"Worse Company"... It really doesn't work when the user's outfit has "Bad Company" written on it.

That nitpick aside, I felt like that the battle was really done well, Bad Company was a stand that I really liked in Part 4.

I'm surprised no one mentioned this game ad by Arnold Schwarzenegger


I saw a flick when I was a kid about a guy with killer toy soldiers. Maybe it was an episode of The Twilight Zone or something like that. It always seemed very plausible to me that Bad Company was inspired by that one.

EDIT: I did some research, I think it was the episode "Siege of 31 August" of the horror/thriller tv serial Darkroom, from 1981. It's probably a ripoff of an earlier Stephen King novel, "Battleground".

As you can see, it's more than just similar, it's basically identical, including the small wounds, watch from 36:28:

It's more like Josuke's version of "yare yare". The first italian translation of the manga translated both into italian juvenile slang, which was very fitting, while not literal.
"Yare yare" became "Ma pensa te", which sounds roughly like "Meh, go figure", and Josuke's "Greato daze" became "Bella storia", 90's slang for "Cool".
