The colour choices here are exemplary.

Cool calm colours for Rohan, Angry red for Josuke. Kind of like Rohan's the protagonist and Josuke's the villain.

I decided to make a list of all of the allusions I noticed in the OP.

* Superfly in the background at the start?
* The soup cans with women's hands on them and the bloody suitcases representing Kira.
* Shigechi shows up a number of times.
* The photos are destroyed by Killer Queen.
* Kira trimming his fingernails while Shigechi feeds the pigeons.
* The two Ratt Stand Users running across the top of the screen while Josuke and the others are walking.
* Echoes Act 3 + Hazamada and Koichi affected by Heaven's Door in the background?
* Aya and Cinderella with Yukako.
* The shots of Kira's hand holding a severed hand + Kira's dad with the second arrow.
* Reimi, her dog, and the ghost alleyway.
* The main cast getting shot at by arrows, representing Kira's dad sending Stand Users to fight them?
* Kira at the end with Killer Queen's eyes. :allears:

Three people are reflected in Kira's fingernail, though I can't tell who they are. Maybe Reimi, Aya, and Shigechi?

That's what I'm trying to figure out. The largest one almost looks like Yukako but that doesn't seem right.

Also the pattern behind Aya and Yukako looks like a road which could be Highway Star but I feel we'll have a new OP before then.

Any idea what the flowers, cake, and gifts where the two rats run across is referring to or am I just really dense?

Hey does anyone have the panels with the pompadour guy in the manga? Because while I haven't read Part 4 I know about Bites the Dust. I ask because the anime might be leaning really hard on pompadour guy being time-traveling Josuke instead of just a random dude, i.e. he looks exactly like Josuke and he is all bloodied and beaten like he just got out of a fight with Kira.

Flashback man also looked like he just got out of a fight.

I'll fight to the death that while the random passerby was meant to be Josuke at one point, but Araki never going back to it and the rando man becoming a symbol of Morioh's Golden Spirit is way way better

Actually now that I think of it, Josuke's way worse for wear after the final Kira fight than Flashback man is.

Damn it, why it does need to remain only four bullets!?
In a flashback narrated secondhand, from the memories of someone who was drifting in and out of consciousness at the time, Josuke closely resembles the person he consciously models his appearance off of. What could it mean?

I believe most 39 episode predictions have Cour 3 starting on I am an Alien, so probably then. Either way, it comes at the start of cour 3 or the second ep of the cour.

No idea about the gifts, but the flower+cake looks to be one of Ratt's goo balls.

On the same scene opposite to Ratt there's some bills and coins, presumably from the lottery?

I'm telling you Not-Josuke is confusing at first sight, man.

I like Chase, although I think it's the most "normal" JoJo OP song so far. Mostly because it's the kind of music I listen to anyway. Also they used Kira 2.0 as the Kira design at the end, huh? Cute, what with the focus on Cinderella and all.

edit: don't type while watching OPs

Even though I doubt they would do it I would like if David reordered some things so Shigechi and Aya don't die the episode after they are introduced.

Shigechi is a massive poo poo kid when he shows up and he dies before getting actual character development so it's hard to feel sorry for him but c'mon

he's feeding the pigeons

Not only that but now manga readers are for some reason also talking about it like it's possible that David will add in a time-travel scene and getting excited about it(???). It works so much better when the flashback dude is just a random stranger with a heart of gold and it would be so dumb for David to change it that I can't believe anyone who's read the whole thing is seriously entertaining the idea.
