between that, the mention of beef tongue in the first episode, and the flash of black fire in jonathan's eyes in the phantom blood OP i'm really confident that they know the material front to back.

if they did that then josuke wouldn't get to call okuyasu dumb again and okuyasu wouldn't have been able to react cause his face would be caved in by plants

they had to wait to move so that josuke and okuyasu could have a bit of dialogue

Lots of people like to think of Josuke deciding to be a cop eventually like his gramps and while that makes a lot of sense and seems like a logical choice (moreso than the other popular one, Dr. Josuke, which I think would just end poorly for everyone) I feel like I always sort of resist that idea because Josuke is still a lawbreaker at heart who probably spends a lot of his post-Kira young adult life doing a lot of dumb, illegal poo poo with Okuyasu

There's a reason I identify very strongly with them just as a duo. I was a dipshit highschool punk who almost got picked up by the cops several times for doing extremely stupid things that were harmless but still, y'know, not a smart thing to do, all the result of "dude, you know what would be loving hilarious?" type conversations

To be honest a kiddie pool full of Slurpee would compliment their Stands extremely well and would've been enough to defeat Kira. Okuyasu would force Kira to drink it by using The Hand, Josuke can fix it into being solid ice.

Given how ~stand users are drawn together~ and Morioh in general it's not like one doesn't naturally lead into the other.

Like they're just chilling out and Okuyasu picks up five bucks off the ground and suddenly some rear end in a top hat leaps out of the bushes screaming "YOU'VE ACTIVATED THE EFFECTS OF MY STAND, [Bitches Ain't poo poo]" and everyone's balls turn into frogs. Punch him a bunch, haul him off to jail, collect paycheck, resume loving around until next rear end in a top hat shows up.

It's a pretty good gig if you can ignore the occasional croaking balls.

EDIT: Dr. Jojo would be amazing if it led to Trauma Center-style magical bullshit viruses that taunt you.

If you must blink, do it now.
Regarding the projected number of episodes, a lot of the fights in Part 4 have more "Organic" chapter counts than in Part 3 where almost everything was always either three or six chapters with only a handful of exceptions. Part 3 is also very strongly compartmentalized whereas a lot of the encounters in part 4 flow more naturally into one another (though Araki never fully shakes breaking things up by fights).

All this to say I could easily see them fitting everything into 39 episodes now that we've seen how they plan on handling the pacing.

yeah, we've already seen to some extent how they're able to divide things up in a nice way while also not really wasting any time. next week's episode is most definitely going to end either with keicho dying or right before he dies, because okuyasu has already been taken care of and they have the full episode to handle those events. the week after that will most likely have an Echoes title, i'd wager. with the way things in stardust crusaders were handled they couldn't exactly cleanly divide things up without compartmentalizing fights into very distinct chunks, but i think they have more freedom to stuff things into episodes of DiU where they want as long as they cut off at decent places.

I'm slowly coming around on the 39 episodes idea as I get the There Could Be Nine More Episodes I'm Not Getting. Part 4 not hard locking every encounter into it's own episode and only that and having Angelo be finished off in this one, leaving only half the episode to the Nijimura Brothers just gives it a more dynamic flow that should be fun.

JoJo is the only anime I've ever followed that's more than 12 or 13 episodes, so is there likely to be a break like there was for the second half of Part 3 or we really locked into 36 more Fridays in a row?

if they were going to cut anything then tonio would probably be one of the first on the chopping block, but we know for a fact he's in so no matter the episode count i'm pretty confident they'll get everything in there.

I'm gonna say it: Part 3 was too long, but they really couldn't have made it any other way.

I still consider the manga to be exceedingly well-paced, but the anime kept having to drag certain encounters out to fill airtime, which is simply the nature of the beast.

If David Productions can pull off Part 4 in 39 episodes, God bless 'em.

At this point, it's totally unknown.

Yeah, all I care about is nothing is getting cut from it, and that's confirmed, so I place my full faith in David to deliver.

Considering that the Josuke bit in OP1 was Italian Food and Highway Star, it's probably equally loved for being iconic at home as it is abroad, so that probably means it's indispensable.
