Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.
Jotaro isn't present for a large swath of Part 4 because he's busy in his hotel room, writing the sickest one liners you'll ever hear for the fateful day when he does get to fight someone again.

So far this two-parter has probably been as good as Part 4 has been for me. The whole flashback with future Josuke was really intriguing, as was the stuff in the OP. So far, I'd say that peak Jojo for me has been the Egypt stuff in Stardust Crusaders. They did such an incredible job building up DIO. And the way the whole mystery of DIO's stand played out with everyone talking about how it's absurdly powerful and invincible culminating in scenes like the one where Polnareff tries to walk up the stairs but actually goes down them instead really made it seem like DIO had these god-like powers. I'm hoping that pretty soon we start seeing some real poo poo go down in DiU that rivals the end of Stardust Crusaders.

The final fight of DiU is maybe my favorite fight in all of JoJo, so I hope you'll enjoy it!

Same.

One time I re-read the lead up and the final fight of Part 4 while really stoned and I thought it was a true work of art, just a beautiful piece of media. I was on the edge of my loving seat and losing it about something I had already read like a year ago

I've between ignoring any mentions of predictions based off the OP because imo an anime only watcher wouldn't actually get much from it.

It'll be fun to look back at the OP when particular events happen, though. You know, like we did with Stardust Crusaders.

Every little hint and foreshadowing in the OPs is like a love letter from david to Araki himself. The more subtle the better too.

Yeah they're great in retrospect but it's usually impossible to predict stuff from them. My favorite subtle OP moment is in Hunter X Hunter when Netero is missing his arm but his billowing sleeve makes it hard to see unless you know he loses it

The kanji for "Touhou" are the same as "Higashikata" in Josuke's name, incidentally.

Watched the last two episodes back to back last night. I think I said this before, but I find Jojos at its best when it leans on horror elements.

Also, could it be that the flashback that Koichi described is half true at best? It wasn't in his body pages (Leave it to Araki to have something as whimsical as being turned into a book twisted into high grade body horror.), and he freely admits he was not listening all that closely when Josuke explained it and was filling in the blanks with his own speculation.

Even assuming that it's all Koichi's fanfiction, the only things we need to know for sure is that Josuke was sick from DIO, which the series has confirmed, and that some guy with that hair saved him when he was in a situation where he could die, which Josuke confirmed.

Yeah, I asked that way back when, that's Angelo, y'know, guy who killed Josuke's granpappy with the water stand. He's is A Rock, currently. A fitting punishment considering water beats rock.

Also that Josuke couldn't come up with a hairstyle of his own and just copied some dude who saved his life or whatever.

Angelo made that pose after he bit off a dog's face, spit the chewed up bits into the mouth of it's George Costanza looking rear end owner and made his Stand come out of his ears after blowing his brains out.

ya know, in case you were wondering

this is a pro loving click tho a lil NSFW at the end

It's funny seeing the first Bleach OP after so long. The biggest reason why I like Part 4 so much is that it represents everything I wanted Bleach to be; a slice of life comedy set in a small town where super-powered teens beat up weird and unique 'bad' guys.

This, it's weird to remember a time where Bleach was good. Or at least had promise. Shows in that style are rare.

Also i may not have realized in what thread i was when i made that post. Edited, but crap, that wasn't a display of acumen :(

Nah guys, I'm pretty sure it's Solaire. As an obsessive, but very determined weirdo, he would fit right in this show.


Looks like the costume budget ran out by the time they got to Koichi's backpack.

Hope they'll do all the other OPs too.
