I feel bad for Kakyoin. He goes through all kinds of terrible poo poo from the moment Stardust Crusaders starts all the way to the DIO fight. :smith:

It's karma for being weird and feeding that evil baby it's own poo poo. Like, what the gently caress man.

Josuke never kills anyone. He traps them in rocks, in books, in telephone towers. But Josuke will never end a human life. He has principles.

Also gently caress that baby. Kakyoin did nothing wrong.

Rohan is totally best friends with Koichi though.

Koichi is also friends with a girl who tried to kill him so I'm not sure if Koichi has the best taste in friends.

The real Pokemon begins here
I still think that the SBR universe is the messed-up reset of the original universe. Not because there's any evidence of it that belongs outside conspiracy theories (look at the family tree! It mirrors the original up until Holly marries someone else, because Jolyne and Jotaro don't exist in this world!), but because it's a cool way to tie the stories together.

I only mention this because I see people bringing up that they're two completely separate stories as justifications for why the rules are different, but they may not be completely separate. Also this is Araki we're talking about and he doesn't need anything as flimsy as "reasons" to retcon his story.

The SBR->Jojolion universe is not the reset universe until Araki decides it would be cool if it were.

Part 4 continues to be magical. Josuke found an alien, used him to cheat at dice and got away with it because everyone was so focused on the game that they didn't notice a housefire three feet from them. It had nothing to do with nothing, not even in a "Dio sends his assassins" way but I don't mind because it was the best goddamn thing. :allears:

It would be more interesting if he took the idea from the Jorge Joestar novel about it being the first universe and just ran with it.

Or if parts 1-6 were all in different iterations of the universe under Made in Heaven and that's why fate exists. Then in SBR and JJL, there is no FATE anymore. Yeah, that would be a bomb-rear end fanfiction.

Lots of Iggy filler this week apparently, and it doesn't end with the cliff hanger you'd assume it would have done.

Lol at Jotaro reading a Marine Life magazine with the only legible word being SEA. That's gotta be a David addition.

Yeah, it wasn't legible in the manga.
These little nods to the future parts are great.

The episode as a whole was kinda weak though. A lot of padding.

Yeah the good stuff is going to be next week. Jojo stories have an unequal length so it's hard to get it down perfectly. I think the Anubis story could have been done in one episode and a half, but that's really possible.

I think we'll see a lot more of Iggy in the anime, he'll probably the filler character to pad two parters.
