My favorite parts of SBR are hands down when Gyro performs a stupid joke or a really terrible song for Johnny and Johnny loves it. They're a couple of goofballs and I love them for it.

There's like one time when gyro turns the tables on him, outofcontextjojo had it up yesterday. Johnny is talking about how useful his nails are and gyro is like "that's great okay anyway onto something actually important"

My beautiful boy has finally come home. Shame about not having his ASB/EoH voice and I cannot remember Diavolo's for the life of me.

I feel like it's just this shot but his face looks a tad odd, but it's totally fine cause holy poo poo did Kira look weird in his first appearance. Just this weird gaunt boneman

Thimgs I like about Lucy Steel: normal woman willing to take on Stand users to protect herself, and Steven(i guess.) She's doing a good job just using her wits so far.

Things I don't like: why is she 14, Araki? Why is every dude(and now First Lady) except Gyro creeping on her? Goddamnit, Araki.

nah. lucy is married to mr. steel because of some thing where her dad was about to get her sold into prostitution. he rescued her from that fate via a fake marriage because she rescued him (i forget how exactly, it's been a while). the attitudes towards lucy are obviously supposed to reflect the attitudes towards women (specifically young women) during that time period.

On the plus side, Shigechi gets an extra episode. He won't be bumped off as quickly as he was introduced.

Yeah, it's really important that Shigechi is established as part of the gang, which is what makes it so shocking when he gets offed so quickly. Just like Kira disrupts the lives of the good people of Morioh, he disrupts the narrative beats we just saw, and that's radical.

I've got a few friends who're all anime only, and they've expressed the same idea that they don't think there will be any character deaths in DiU. I'm looking forward to this shaking that notion up a little, which will be perfect towards the end.

He's a great character, and I think Killer Queen Bites The Dust / Crazy Diamond is Unbreakable is bar none my favorite JoJo fight, sooo he's pretty amazing.

Rohan is still best boy though. I was a little bummed he didn't tell that granny to gently caress off today, but there was a lot to do, so it's forgivable.

Kira is a loving high-key creep, dude is firing on maximum hosed-up cylinders at all times, but it just loving works. He's such a contrast from every past villain, gets a great amount of screentime and internal monologue and his Stand is one the best. Somehow Araki got me to root for a 15 year long serial killer fetishist who also murders two children and that's pretty cool.

Kira is a bad person who does very awful thing and deserves to die, but I root for him to win in Sheer Heart Attack every time. Even when he loses he still wins by forcing someone to steal someone else's face for him! God speed to the underside of an ambulance tire you gently caress.

The part where Koichi completely, utterly humiliates Kira multiple times is one of the best parts of part 4 and it's the peak of Koichi as a character for me

E: And Kira's defeat coming not from one person but the group as a whole and his death coming from an inanimate service vehicle is a perfect way to wrap up the communal themes of Part 4 by having him be essentially rejected by the community of Morioh for the awful crimes he did

Yeah that's a neat thing about Kira in relation to the Part 4 cast. The gang can gently caress Kira up just as easily as he can ruin their day so every fight with him is cool and rad as hell. Like there is a point in Kira's beatdown in Sheer Heart Attack where he thinks "This is the worst day of my entire life" which is a really cool and like humanizing thing, he's not this untouchable foe, he's a salaryman with a boner and anxiety issues.

How much of Jojo is Araki finally hearing about these old myths and including them as part of the jojo plot?


If araki is still doing jojo in 10 years, how likely would it be that someone's stand is essentially slenderman or some equivalent thing
