Part 5 is absolutely the most underrated part, and I'm excited for it to finally get the respect it deserves.

Part 5 is Part 3 but better. :colbert:


Also, for anime-only folks: Part 5's supporting cast is the best in all of JoJos. Get ready to fight and die for the honour of your Best Boy.

Yeah Part 5 really does a lot better with giving people screentime, it's not the Jotaro Kujo Show. The cast is a gang and are great at working together to overcome enemies

Even down to every member of the gang getting at least one fight on their own, which goes a long way to avoiding another Avdol situation of "Oh yeah, he's here too".

When I found out Pt4 was being animated, my first thought was "Oh man, the motorcycle chase and the flip over the pram is going to be so cool."

And it totally was.

Avdol is the most powerful member! Good thing he pretty much never fights or gets one-shot instantly when he does.

Seriously, he gets instantly beaten in like four different fights. :argh:

Right! There's a bunch of fights in Part 3 where Magician's Red would just immediately beat the enemy, yet it's just not used for some reason.

Even though the setting does jump around time settings, it's always weirdly timeless anyway. Turns out when everyone looks weird, no-one does.

Hey, let's not forget that Jotaro could beat up a grown man as a child. :colbert:

In fact, I recall a number of times that Jotaro just opts to hit a guy with his own bare hands rather than using Star Platinum.

Within 10 minutes of arriving in a sleepy seaside town to sort out a family financial issue, Jotaro punched a 16 old in the jaw in the middle of the street.

The violence level in part 5 is so much higher than previous parts and I love it because My Good Part 5 Boys are objectively bad people.

Episode 1 has a man being beaten to death with a shovel, and it only gets worse from there.

39 episodes. So if you want to see it all, you'll need the full year.

Bucellati > Bucciarati as a translation imo


Companies like Arbys and DiGiorno must absolutely love the internet's tendency to do their advertising for them.
DiGiorno have spent 2 minutes in paint and the internet's done thousands and thousands of dollars advertising for them for nothing. It's wild, if you think about it.

Buccellati is also, strictly speaking, the correct translation. Since it's a jewelry brand.

Ah, but is it album titles or band names? Not knowing what's coming we currently just have The Gold Experience which is an album title (copyright blurring aside), so does this fit within the naming conventions of this arc?

Stand names can be song titles, album titles or artist's names. It just has to be related to music somehow.

Araki is thoroughly gunning for the "Wants to gently caress his manga creations" crown held by the long-time champion Go Nagai.

Using Jodeci as an ED is a bold swing at that title.

Serious question: is Araki aware of how many people perceive his work as gay? I mean part of it is probably cultural differences and Araki's personal aesthetic preferences, and it never seems to leave the realm of subtext, but I can't tell how much, if any of it is intentional.

It's an urban myth (but a very plausible one in context) that Pt6's protagonist was going to be bisexual until the editors stepped in.

Alessi and Anubis both involved themselves directly in combat, Anubis due to being a sword that needs a wielded and Alessi because Sethan’s more a support tool. But as far as punchghosts, yeah I think this is the first time the users directly fight each other.

When Jotaro punches Josuke when they first meet, he intentionally doesn't use Star Platinum. Mostly because Josuke nearly just broke his face in with Crazy Diamond and also presumably because Jotaro didn't want to seriously injure him.

To save a lot of questioning why anyone does anything in part 5: every member of Passione is a terrible person.

In any other part, all of them except MAYBE Giorno would be villains.

Guido Mista, Narancia Ghirga, Bruno Buccellati, Giorno Giovanna, Leone Abbacchio, Pannacotta Fugo.

Quite a few of them are only referred to be one name the whole time, so unless you see their eyecatch, you wouldn't know their full name anyway. For example, I don't think anyone even says Narancia's surname.

how quickly we all forget Harvest. More Is Better

I will still go down swinging that Harvest is both the most useful stand in all of JoJos, but the fact that it didn't just one-shot everyone Shigechi fought is purely on Shigechi being an idiot.

Josuke, Okuyasu and Kira ALL got within a hair's breadth of getting absolutely punked out by Harvest with ease.

The detail I love about that fight is that moment before Sale falls over and Mista's basically thinking out loud "I really hope you're not invincible to this too, because if you are, I'm absolutely hosed."

The stones he threw seemed to slow gradually, but that conflicts with stopping the bullet quickly enough before it fractures his skull.

I like the idea of Mista's hand still being stuck and his shooting arm getting torn off or dislocated at least. OP stands fielded by dumb people is a thing though.

Also Mista has effectively magic bullets. He could shoot lefty with no issue.

The opposite is always cool too, seemingly useless stands being used well by creative people. Like Tamami being a con man using The Lock. He's not gonna win a fight with it, but dude almost wrangled himself a house. Or Shigechi using Harvest to collect the entire town's wasted change.
