Great! That was the only one that came to mind. I'm glad that my encyclopedic knowledge of jojo tumblr poo poo was helpful. (I doubt Millionfish has posted here: they seem to be into other series at this point. That Lisa Lisa comic is from, like, 2013.)

Kira's mental illness, carried over to JoJolion, is "very handsome, extremely cool, top tier stand, badass, cute, tough, smart, perfect".

Yeah of course, a lil punk fifth grader stole his sandwich and won't give it back, he paid for it and his girlfriend picked it out! but also I root for Kira in Sheer Heart Attack because of how hosed Jotaro and Koichi are against him and yeah get em dude then I root for him to get away before Josuke comes and oh goddamn it don't mention Stands to him you idiot, get your poo poo together Kira, you're better than this.

I really need to see if Dead Man's Questions is any good because the premise of ghost detective Kira just living his ghost life sounds neat, Kira is good

Koichi is so goddamn bad at life that a serial killer who was in the process of blowing him the gently caress up had to stop his getaway and help him get his poo poo together so he wouldn't look like a complete fool.

Even Kira takes pity on Koichi, no dignity.

I feel like the biggest thing separating Hazamada and Kira is that Hazamada could never pull off a skull tie.

Well, I'm like 85% sure they've posted in here before so take it up with them.

It's prob because Kira is a more fleshed out character and probably has a mental illness while Hazamada remains very one dimensional and lame, but I find Kira to be a much more sympathetic and "cool" for lack of a better word, I am actually rooting for Kira at multiple points, while Hazamada is just lovely and sucks.

Hazamada lacks any Charisma

Also he's not attractive.

Does the new OP imply that Kira keeps his hands in the suitcases in his closet and that he only buys a brand of soup that only has a woman's hand as the logo? There's a lot happening there.

also I like the bit after Yukako and Aya with a couple holding hands, and then Kira holding a woman's severed hand

You're not wrong

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?
This makes sense now that I see there are lips in the cake, but also it's a really ornate cake and not at all like the flesh cubes Ratt makes so I have no idea??? also the flowers and gifts?? this OP is strange

Koichi is so good and powerful even Kira has to stop and help him out.

Koichi is the true ~~spirit of Moriocho~~ and probably was the one to go back in time to save Josuke.

The best twist would be if Josuke's saviour DID travel back in time, but was a random passerby doing stuff totally unrelated to Part 4 and just stopped to save a baby during his adventures through time and space.

j/k the best twist is no twist because the people of Morioh have a noble spirit.

Tbf though, most of the people that are fought in Morioh come to their sense after being beaten up by Josuke. I don't think it's unreasonable to say Yukako is "kind of" a decent person at heart, Kanedaichi flat out stops the fight and tries to make amends immediately as well, and even dudes like Fungami who seem really manipulative and parasitic of others turn out to have people they care about and do try to help people. There are of course exceptions, Hazamada will eternally be the worst, Miyamoto is a downright monster, and Kira's been killing people for a long rear end time.

Of course it's also that JoJo thing where antagonists are always inherently portrayed as really smug and douchey when they're first introduced and can actually turn out to be alright two seconds later ala Dire, Tonio, and Iggy.

Iirc Kira doesn't get a proper introduction until after Harvest which ain't gonna be for like... three or four more weeks give or take any potential two parts they could pull out of Rohan's Adventure or Harvest, but Rohan's adventure will give him a proper mentioning for the first time and that'll be in two weeks.

It's going to be really weird when both Shigechi and Aya are introduced then immediately killed off in the next episode. Even weirder than the manga where at leas their introductory arc was spread out over several parts.
