I too would like to see Cable get his poo poo kicked in

Jotaro is a rushdown character with little mobility while Cable is an insane zoner, so that's strike 1 against him. Strike 2 is that Jotaro is a dork.

Also the OVA is muted as gently caress, it looks super lifeless.

The One True Oden

All of Cable's psychic power is tied up keeping the techno organic virus at bay, so he could never form a stand. And that means he'd never see Star Platinum coming :colbert:

Yeah, it isn't nearly fabulous enough to be a Jojo adaptation.

the ova really suffers from being a product of its time. eveything in it looks too gritty. look at people's clothing looks like it is made if sandpaper, a the characters look rough. nit like the literal super models they should be.

there's the occasional small detail in the OVA that's cool, but the rest is really borked up beyond belief and the anime does a really good job of actually including everything and being stylish enough to fit the series, so beyond those small things i really would never recommend it to anyone.

My favorite thing about the Yukako chapters is that Yukako ultimately more or less gets what she wants, aside from Koichi falling in love with her. She wants Koichi to improve because she sees his potential and he ends up with a new Stand power. She sees that Koichi isn't testing well and ends up helping him.

the entirety of anime as a concept was invented just so that next week's episode could eventually exist, so i hope everyone is ready for the best animated sequence known to humanity.

I always love that Koichi uses Echos to make a phone call like that.

How much of a nerd is Koichi that he knows Josuke's phone number by its dial tones?

Wasn't the only reason he bombed that test she saw was because he was having trouble focusing on his studies because he was freaked out by her stalking him?

I'm thinking that was partially the reason and that the questions she was asking him were tied to his classes.

The episode title, 'Let's Go Eat Italian Food', or w/e it is, tells you everything you need to know.
