I'm at episode 28, Sheer Heart Attack is episode 23 and 24. Kira is a 10/10 villian. Both Dio and Kira might just be my favorite kind of villian tropes. I love it. Episode 27 is the episode with that weird alien guy. What the actual fuck. Alien guy episode and the italian restaurant episode have been the two most wtf episodes during this part so far. Just like the age reversal and baby-eating-poop episodes during Stardust were wtf. I mentioned that all the characters are so good in this Part. Not only have I grown past the "Jotaro is a bad character" meme, I mean I already liked him but still. Jotaro in Stardust grew on me a lot since I watched it and he's grown on me even more during DiU. Josuke is also great and likeable. I love the comparison between Okuyasu and Koichi. Koichi is smart, but he's got a very gentle heart and naive mind which puts him into trouble. Okuyasu on the other hand, isn't naive or gentle, he is however fucking stupid and that's what puts him into trouble. It hurts to see Senile Joseph. Poor old man. I wonder if they'll ever find the babys mother. And that future Josuke seen in the flashback about his hair. Wtf was that. Since he appeared out in nowhere during a blizzard, had the exact same clothes and was randomly beat up near death I feel like there was way too many details to just be random. But there's really not that many episodes left to bring in some Back to the Future story arc, or is there? Hm.

Which is to say that the inane shonen protagonist dude gave up his monopoly on despair.

It's never brought up again and is mostly just there to resolve the "WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU SAY ABOUT MY HAIR" gag since nobody insults his hair ever again after that scene. Okuyasu is a true bro and a joy to have around but they really could've used The Hand more. Part 4 Jotaro is good yeah, he's great at the mentor role. Also dat return of his Stardust Crusaders theme Also Alien is a treasure and also never explained

Member #1,237 Joined: September 17, 2014 True Name: Kitten	Huh lol, well then I'm certain it must've been supposed to be some time travel shit to begin with but Araki canned it before the end. Since "Future Josuke" is so beat up and it's so detailed, there was probably a battle against a time stand, like if Kira had a time stand or something. There's no other way to explain why he's copied to the last detail, there's such focus on his big injuries, and he appears out in the middle of nowhere, during a blizzard. No way that was supposed to be "just a look-alike" from the start. Oh well. Could've been a cool moment but maybe he felt the pacing would get fucked from it, and in the manga what was done was done and he couldn't reverse it so he just had to ignore it. Yeah I love how his theme changed with the character. Since he's more gentle in DiU we have the slow jazz version, and then there's the emotional one too. When I'm done with DiU I'm definitely going to read the manga from start. I won't be able to wait for the next part being animated...and then released on blu-ray before I'll watch it. That would be like 4 years from now I bet. So I'm better off reading it.

For some reason the fan translation of part 6 was redone to be less dry/machine translated but last I checked 5 was untouched.

Like, so far you could cut out everything but the decent-to-good scenes and compile what remains into a single alright episode.

Because the premise of Spoiler: click to toggle Dio's son in a gangster/mafia plot sounds really great. The fan translation aside, is the plot for part 5 good? Do hardcore JoJo fans rank it high amongs their favorite parts? And yeah...couldn't help myself but check out what part 5 was about. I've managed to keep away spoilers for part 1-4. also, RETS KIR DA HO! BEEETCH! Edit: I'm currently downloading colorized versions of the manga (from JoJo subreddit), checked out Part 5 and the translations seems fine to me. Maybe this is a new fan translation?

It's Japan's favorite part l o l I haven't checked the translations in a while so maybe, but I think the biggest problem was that it was so bland it made all the characters feel samey, and a lack of colorful personalities sound reaaaaaaaaaally bad for Jojo

I love how he's basically El's father and Jeanne's his mother dat unexpected history between Sofiel and Bacchus, what not sure if ship
