I'm looking forward to Enigma Boy and Cheap Trick out of the non-finale arcs in the Part 4 anime.

As good as bug eyes Josuke is, I'm looking forward to the GOAT Star Platinum panel in next weeks anime. Hopefully they get it right, because they've missed a couple of great ones so far. This one:

DicktheCat posted:I do, however, believe Kira would be diagnosed with some form of personality disorder. One thing that fascinated me was a quick scene where he was astonished to find he felt something for the mother of his stolen family, which would indicate that he isn't a sociopath, either, as he would be entirely incapable of feeling empathy at all. It is possible that his state is actually a product of his upbringing more than latent mental illness. Kira's a real monster of a person, but we get way more of his internal thoughts than any other villain so it's way more interesting to dig into his personality than like, Why Is Diavolo So Mysterious or Why Is Kars Such A Jerk

Moltrey posted:The upbringing thing is interesting, because in Atom Heart Father, they say by all accounts, the Kiras were a close family even though the Kiras were very old by the time they had their son. (Though the wiki gives a big ol Araki Said that Kira actually had a bad childhood with zero source so gently caress that) And due to Yoshihiro being incredibly devoted to his son, being very aware that his son is murdering women, it seems to be case of having a spoiled childhood than anything, which can be seen in his ego and like others have said, he never really worked for anything, always choosing to hold himself back. Also JoJolion Kira's basically the same guy but raised by a decent parent, and whilst he's not exactly citizen of the year he's not a serial killer either. Yoshino is just a really lovely dad who enabled his son's worst impulses rather than teach him good values, which works pretty well for a villain motivation in what is basically an exploration of Japanese suburban life with superpowers.

Yeah it's really telling and cool that the first time we see Kira 8 interact with his parent, it's him being a whiner, not caring about the life of another and only what he wants only for his mom telling him to shut up and use Sheer Heart Attack to save someone's life. Kira 8 made me wonder for a while how useful Killer Queen would be as a Stand if you weren't a murder and didn't care about killing people, I wish that had been explored more

Killer Queen can explode anything, right? He never touched Fatty, but he blew up the button and threw it at Fatty, so it can be used on non living objects. I can imagine there would be a LOT of use for something that can cleanly and precicely eliminate obstruction. Youd never have to worry about arterial plaque for one.

Even the thickest and most complicated vault door would be nothing in front of Kira. He could have had an exciting life as a cat burglar.

The colored versions are about halfway through SBR at this point if anyone wants to re-read that way, Tattoo You is about to start. e: looked at the supposed lyrics to the new OP and I'm into that's just about how much Josuke wants to kill Kira Expect My Mom fucked around with this message at 03:19 on Jul 11, 2016 |

It's a nice reversal of things too since you get a lot of superhero stuff where they'll kill or put dozens of their henchmen in the hospital but not you you're going to jail instead.

Though he does essentially give Terunosuke Miyamoto a fate worse than death, which, as someone pointed out in this thread a few pages back, seems uncalled for, since Terunosuke is basically the same as Rohan was when he was introduced.

Well Terunosuke went after Tomoko AND tried to shoot Josuke in the face with a loving gun at point blank range so gently caress that guy.

I think the lyrics might actually be about Rohan and not Josuke E: Nevermind, the lyrics on the wiki are different with regards to the arrow, I think one translation posted up here talked about the time since having been pierced with the arrow, and it's as much if not moreso Rohan's vendetta with Kira. I forgot just how much Rohan took the spotlight once he showed up, actually. TheKingofSprings fucked around with this message at 04:00 on Jul 11, 2016 |

Moltrey posted:Possibly! The last OP was from Koichi's point of view and it's not like Josuke is as proactive about finding Kira as Rohan is, but I think Josuke is cooler and I like to think he's loving ready to ice this dude cause Josuke's a raw motherfucker Josuke would never ice people though, it's not in his character and he literally comes out of DiU with a negative killcount (rats don't count). I don't think Rohan does either but it's way more within his character to do so if the need came up.

Yeah, the only people Josuke does worse to than put in the hospital for a few weeks are Angelo and Terunosuke, who attacked his family. Don't gently caress with Josuke's family.

You're probably right, and the lyrics only talk about just kicking his rear end, but Josuke condemns two pretty bad people to terrible and instantly Dorararara's a rando on the street who was talking to his son because he heard him say "My name is Yoshikage Kira", so Josuke would've probably killed Kira if he had too. Thankfully, papa Jotaro took that one cause man that would be messed up

Thankfully, papa Jotaro took that one cause man that would be messed up Josuke would've merged Kira to a mannequin's hand but he wouldn't have killed him, condemning people was when there weren't any options left (neither Angelo or Terunosuke were likely to be rehabilitated, and both of their stands were both nearly impossible to neutralize permanently and extremely dangerous)

So how many people do you think are gonna complain that next episode is just "filler about rats" and totally miss the point that it's about loving Jotaro and Josuke hanging out, learning to hunt, and murdering a couple of flesh melting evil rats? I hope zero because Let's Go Hunting! is cool as hell. Plus, the Stand is called Ratt which is like the loving most hilariously on-the-nose Stand to User naming convention in the whole series.

Especially since the hunting trip has some great moments for both characters and is ultimately pretty loving creepy. I think it'll go over fine.

I'm curious as to how people will handle Suddenly Ghosts. Like Part 3 had the souls of Avdol, Iggy and Joseph, but now here's a ghost girl with her ghost dog in a ghost alley with evil ghost hands that operate under their own ghost rules, and just this new layer of supernatural that is brought up and never really explored further also im really excited to see future episode titles like The Cat Likes Kira and My Dad Is Not My Dad Expect My Mom fucked around with this message at 08:02 on Jul 11, 2016 |

I love unexplained and evocative setting elements like the Hand Alley and the alien. It really annoys me how manga tends to codify everything and I'm glad Jojo doesn't really do power levels.

I think they can deal with stuff like supernatural alley and literally an alien (except maybe not??).

Bad Seafood posted:Now if only we could do away with the stat blocks. Any time someone asks about the stat blocks in the anime thread, people jump to say that they don't mean anything. I mean they were only introduced in the manga in part 5 and all the ones before are retroactive from data books, but even after that they're super pointless. It's literally just nerd bait, and some people can't resist that, but for the most part jojo tends to avoid power level discussions on the level of, say, One Piece, which also doesn't have power levels but people still act like that's what bounties/marine ranks are.

The only two stats that mean anything are range and power since they effectively determine whether or not what you've got is a punchghost or a magic trick, and even that's a binary designation that becomes less meaningful as the series progresses.
