i think vitamin c was when jojolion first veered hard into body horror and gave a sense of immense danger to the situation at hand so it sticks out a lot to people thinking back on the part

I love it because Damo starts as such a goofy fuckin dude and you're just expecting kind of a weird fight but not a super tense one. Maybe something like The Lock or the one where Narancia can't tell the truth that I can't remember the name of. Then it takes a hard fuckin right turn and he gets real loving threatening real fuckin quick. Then throughout the fight we have the secondary fight of Kira + Josefumi learning about the rokakaka and ultimately sacrificing themselves, which is such a great moment and one of the few times I almost cried at JoJo. Then we get the really great payoff as Damo gets his poo poo absolutely destroyed.



Expect My Mom posted:

the end of Heavy Weather where it's Weather and Anasui vs Pucci has maybe the best back and forth in a JoJo fight. To counter turning into a snail, Pucci uses Whitesnake to remove the use of his own eyes, so Weather freezes all of the blood in the area, turning them into spikes that Pucci can't see to impale him, so Pucci sends Whitesnake into Anasui to know where the spikes are. At some point in all this, Weather loses a leg, so Anasui sends Diver Down into Weather and Diver sticks it's leg through Weather's leg hole allowing Weather to run up on Pucci and punch him with air blasts

i love it

gently caress I forgot about a lot of this fight, I really gotta go reread it.

A lot of my fav Part 8 stands are non-combative like Paisely Park or King Nothing, so it's kinda hard for JoJolion, but Ozone Baby was really good, I took a break around Part 1 of the fight so reading it all once was good. Paper Moon King's face ability though is silly, why can it do that???

Speed King is also very good, and the way Jobin uses it to threaten Josuke in the beetle fight is great

sure hope no-one throws me off a bridge

My top 5 is:

1. Bites the Dust
2. Metallica vs King Crimson
3. White Album
4. Mandom
5. Horus

Horus is hugely underrated, I find. Such a tense battle and I completely bought Iggy being dead at the end of it.

Honourable mention to Jotaro and Iggy vs N'Doul, just because in animation, Iggy getting fastballed at N'Doul is the funniest loving thing in the world to me.

Think of it like the face blindness is his actual stand ability, and the origami part is just a stranger-than-usual stand form. The weirdest part is I don’t think he ever uses the “fold anything” ability after he does it to the phone.

California King Bed was also a good fight cause all Josuke has to do is figure out to get her to step on his shadow which should be easy since Daiya is legally blind, but she's smart and also not directly antagonistic

There are a ton of great fights so it’s hard for me to choose... I also can’t remember all of them. But off the top of my head:
Jonathan vs Dio as kids
Joseph vs Straizo (the tommy gun and grenade moves in particular)
Joseph vs Wamuu
Poker against D’Arby
Iggy vs Petshop
Vanilla Ice
All of DIO’s World
Ratt
Highway Star
Any Kira fight
Grateful Dead and Beach Boy
Any of the major Pucci fights
Mandom
Anything with D4C

California King Bed means we have a fight that can be summarized as "An amnesiac defeats a blind girl in chess by opening a refrigerator."

And that owns.

That was a fun chapter. I kinda like weird little mysteries like those or Milagro Man; same sorta reason I liked Civil War, I guess.

And yeah, Sky High really does end well.

I'm rereading Part 7 and even if the fight itself is just decent, the beginning of Scary Monsters with Diego eating rocks and knocking over a bunch of cans looking for a cup of coffee before turning into a dinosaur is absolutely incredible.

Despite all the awesome fights in JoJo, the Under World fight holds a special place in my heart because the page where Jolyne is desperately explaining the situation to a confused Emporio got me into JoJo.

Friends are what make testing worth it.
Favorite from each part:

Part 1: Punch fight
Part 2: Joseph vs Kars
Part 3: Vanilla Ice or DIO
Part 4: Bad Company or Highway Star
Part 5: Beach Boy and Grateful Dead
Part 6: Dragon's Dream
Part 7: Mandom
Part 8: BEETLES (and Damo)

Honestly, a lot of my favorite fights in the series aren't even really fights, at least not in the traditional sense. I'm thinking of things like D'Arby the Gambler, Shakedown Road, and Milagro Man.

You're the first person I've ever seen to even react positively to Dragon's Dream, let alone say it's your favourite of Pt6.

I'll be the second, then. It's not my favorite, but it's a solid battle.

It's impossible for Dragon's Dream to be anywhere near my favorite fight in Part 6, because it is sandwiched by the utter insanity that is Planet Waves and Yo-Yo Ma

Different kinds of insanity, mind you

Hey I just finished Part 7 and enjoyed the hell out of it. Tons of good fights (really liked Sugar Mountain, of all things), and the evolution of Johnny's powers was really cool. I was glad that they managed to explain Stephen Steel's loving child bride in a way that negated how goddamn gross I found it to be (though like three other characters are actually in love with Lucy and two of those try to rape her so welp).

Probably won't read Part 8 right away though (especially because I like reading JoJo parts all at once).

I don't know what to say, i just really really liked Dragon's Dream. It also has "the world's fingers for gently caress off" which is the best Jolyne moment imo.

In contrast i didn't care at all for Yo Yo Ma.

I really like Dragon's Dream for the same reason I like Mandom, that they're interesting but mostly defensive stands by themselves that still nearly wipe out their respective JoJos just from how tough the user is naturally

also the dragon banter was really good

I imagine it was either the falling through flames scene or shooting bullets out of his body back at the jerks what shot him. I'd link the trailer but I'm on mobile, they're both towards the end of the trailer.

I liked Dragon's Dream a lot more on a second read than I did the first read. The second time I was just reading it on its own but it suffers a little from coming right after the Survivor & Planet Waves since that is just a really stressful fight all around. I really enjoyed how much Dragon's Dream was essentially Araki weaponizing feng shui in the style of final destination.
