Hobgoblin2099 posted:How so? In the original saga was 'fate' as a very strong recurring theme. Characters die with purpose, villains suffer ironic defeats for their hubris and things work out pretty okay when the dust settles, even if there's sacrifices along the way. In the SBRverse none of this is true: Johnny beats Valentine not by providence but solely through his own strength of will and 'dark determination' and then dies a few years later anyway when trying to cure his wife of an illness results in a rock falling on his head. Similarly, even the literal divine power of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is not capable of making the world a better place, only transfering 'misfortune' away from one person to another, an idea also being explored with 'equivalent exchange' in JoJolion. It's a fundamentally different world from original JoJo and brings an entirely new set of trials for its protagonists to face, the world is an desolate uncaring place where things happen for no good reason and then you die. To go back to Stone Ocean, the Ireneverse is presented almost like an afterlife or reward for the characters. After everyone has suffered and died opposing a seemingly unbeatable force, Pucci, with his delusions of godhood, is struck down in the most ironic and comically terrible way possible. As Emporio says, walking the path of justice is true 'fate' and for persevering and seeing an end to DIO's legacy once and for all they're reborn in a new without the shadow of that feud cast over them, they've been through their trials and finally get to live in peace. So thematically it would make no sense for SBRverse to be the same place as Ireneverse, aside from having people who could technically be referred to as 'JoJo' but never are and Stands in them they have nothing in common and actively contradict each other in how storytelling is performed, it would turn the eventually happy ending of Stone Ocean into 'lol j/k this place is even more unfair and hosed up than the last one, try not to get uncermimoniously eaten by a aligator when you step outside the car to pee'.

It's about as long as Niji bros so it could definitely make 3, but I think 2 as well.

2 would definitely be my guess. they'll have 2 entire episodes to cover it and i can only assume the first will be the leadup to koichi being kidnapped and the second will be the abandoned mansion

Yeah for as much as there were people saying he was this major part of Part 4 he's really insignificant in the grand scheme of it and only has a few fights between his introduction and being properly fought

I really love that Akira's grand plan to counter the Duwang gang's plan to use Joseph to track him down is just to go kill Joseph in person.

We won't get a new OP song, but the animation will get an overhaul to include Akira, Joseph, Rohan, Shizuka, Shigechi and probably Ratt where Yukako, Tamami, Hazamada etc are now after Italian Food or RHCP 1.

It'll be after Sheer Heart Attack, which is the changing point of the narrative anyway. It swaps from being finding the arrow and later, the mysterious serial killer to hunting down who Yoshikage Kira became.

Otoishi and Kira (the first time) get outed insanely quickly, yeah. Like, I remember them being further apart but Quiet Life/People of Morioh > Cinderella > Sheer Heart Attack is like nothing. Cinderella's functionally just setup for (the end of) SHA as well which really makes it even quicker. They decide to try and find the killer and... find him on their first real try we see. It's kind of an amazing swerve, really.

Oh, like the kid in SBR that Gyro was trying to save. Yeah, when you mention it like that, I see what you mean. Yukako and Josuke as a couple. Beating up people who talk poo poo about their hair. I kind of wish this was a thing.

Thing I just noticed this episode: Hazamada's uniform collar is decorated with a 間, the "Hazama" in "Hazamada." On that note, Keicho's uniform has TRILLION written on it because the "cho"(兆) in Keicho means "trillion," and Okuyasu's uniform has BILLION on it because the his Oku (億) means 10^8 and Okuyasu can't count, apparently. Kyo Nijumura continues the theme in Jojolion, as her name means 10^16.

I barely remember the Yukako chapters, so I decided to re-read the first one just now. Koichi's reaction to her suddenly going nuts is magical.

i think next episode might actually be 2.5/3 parts based on chapter count, unless they just do a lot of truncating like they did with the Surface ep. i dont think 3 parters should be totally uncommon with the different pace of DIU.

They'll probably tidy up some of it since a lot is gonna end up being Yukako's wacky craziness and it's not plot relevant like Niji Bros is
