They could just change the song like this proof of concept for ED 2:

I wouldn't be surprised if they kept savage garden and just did a different animation like they did between phantom blood and battle tendency

Yeah. What I'd love is what I kinda mentioned- the ED just moves around a bit more to show locations from the next chunk of episodes?

I would love them to keep changing the routes so we can have the credits go through the haunted alley and it ends on a wrong turn

When in Part 4 do we find out the pompadour rage origin story? I have a friend that thinks the gag is flat, and I know he'll retroactively like it when he finds out why.

Huh, thought it might be Shizuka, like he saw a parallel between Joseph and that stranger. Either way, I do think Rohan is the last time it gets used.

Yeah, Rohan triggers Josuke's temper and Koichi and Okuyasu discuss the reason behind that because apparently Josuke told it to them off screen. It sticks in my head because that's where the Duwangism "He was too mad to even know what drawings are" came from and I love that.

So jojolion, the weird symbol that popped up for a while, did any of that go anywhere? Only thing I can imagine is it's somehow related to Yagiyama since he claimed to be Josuke's former self's killer and he also built a lot of the Higashikata estate so I wouldn't be surprised if the symbol was a sort of signature of his handiwork or something. Then again, Jojolion has a fuckton of mysteries in it that just kinda disappear without ever being answered and don't seem likely to ever be answered so who knows.

Okuyasu Nijimura

I don't think it did go anywhere, because I've sort of filed it away as "this would be neat if it's explained but it probably won't be and that's ok."

I just don't like it because I feel like jojolion is the first time araki has really done a large mystery thing and mysteries aren't any fun when key components of them just up and disappear or don't make sense or are contradicted by other parts of the mystery or are never developed on, imo

It's a book sellers mark, not something Yagiyama put there. Yasuho remembers seeing it as a child too. You can't see the part of Kira's arm where it should be at any point in the flash back to see if it was forgotten or not. Norisuke had Kira's clothes and has info about him on his computer. There's a pretty good chance that will be elaborated on.

Also, it's on the complete record of the Steel Ball Run race, which I think Norisuke from SBR wrote? We've seen 2 Higashikata symbols so far. I think it's probably some kind of Higashikata symbol/password/cipher or whatever.

to be fair SBR had the lowest amount of "Araki Forgot" out of all the parts, and most of the stuff that fits into that category was stuff brought up VERY early on (like Sandman being implied to have a sand based stand)

You know, I have to wonder: if Hayato had gone up to Kira and been like "Your name is Kira Yoshikage", would Bites the Dust have killed him?

Because that would be hilarious.

I doubt it would have worked since he already knew who he was, but it would've be a pretty great chuckle if that was how the fight ended.

I have a friend that refers to Josuke (and Giorno) as "Bad Hair Jojo" and makes an excuse to call him that in every episode.

I really hope the Rohan episode stops that.

E: lollin though cuz is he getting a re-release but oku still isn't even as part four airs? drat.

Josuke Higashikata

It's not a re-release, really. It's kind of like a combo of Giorno normal (Pink body, yellow hair) and Giorno WonFes (Blue body, greyish hair). The Haruno head is new entirely, and I think you need to buy WonFes Giorno for a Gold Experience Requiem untamed hair (in yellow). I think it's clocking in at 6600 yen which is above average for a SAS but is probably the new normal because I believe most figure companies charge around that much now.
