I genuinely enjoyed that whole episode, especially glad I avoided the thread for a few days between release and watching it so I went in totally blind. :).

Will post more thoughts later!

E:

I think it's my favorite episode of the series so far besides the Tonio one, also Okuyasu is basically my favorite Part IV character now. Loved that bit with him spelling it out multiple times to Joseph.

Just at the chariot race between Jojo and Wamuu and the CG when Wamuu first takes off was jarring.

Got my girlfriend into JJBA and we finished watching Battle Tendency the other night. She commented on Joseph's hosed up face in that scene before I showed her that.

They have spirit fighters now? Joseph telling this dude to kick his grandson's rear end and drag him home.

e: So these are the Stands people mention not the Hamon stuff

It's for the best. Hamon hit its peak with it being used to cause a volcanic explosion into space. There's really nothing that can top that.

I am guessing that cool robot in peoples' avatar is one. More excited for this arc to start than the last two. These seem way more fun than Hamon.

Joseph uses the ripple a few times, but mostly just his Stand.


It's funny that his Stand would have made every fight in part 2 pretty trivial, since it's a highly mobile perfect conductor of ripple energy. And it even lets him see the future a bit, to tie in with his 'the next thing you're going to say is' catchphrase. :kimchi:

They are, though they take a while to fully realise their creative potential.

Also the red man in your avatar is obviously glasses man's Stand.

I think SDC is the most uneven part of JoJo (sorry BadSeafood), as Araki experiments with what stands can do, and some work better than others. The highs are glorious, and even the poorer fights have great moments in them. It also helps that the Crusaders are lovable dorks and DIO is, well, DIO.
