Shit like this is everywhere in part 4. I have a really hard time excusing it when its already happened the other way in the same part.
Other than that I dont find Koichi that compelling, and he's the main character of pretty much half of the part.[/QUOTE]
i dont see what's so hard to believe about josuke having the power to control which way it goes
there's some dumb things about josuke's power that araki forgets to do (like [sp]why doesn't josuke just fix kira's button to pull him or his jacket in[/sp])
i'd much rather have a protag stand like Crazy Diamond that has a clear and simple defined power than something like Gold Experience or Soft and Wet that are so vague
also, just a friendly reminder to [sp] tag your spoilers, there's plenty of people here who aren't caught up

[sp]I'd argue that the button is a separate object from the jacket, not broken by itself. I think you'd need at least a ripped piece of cloth to track the fix happening[/sp]

but he didn't restore kira's hand, he restored sheer heart attack. and idk about you, but that's enough for me to suspend disbelief

That's pretty much explained from the very beginning with how selective he can be about his heals. [sp]He if had restored Kira the way as Okuyasu, they would have all been dead because of Sheer Heart Attack.[/sp]

On another note, I'm surprised I haven't seen any memes concerning [I]東方[/I] at all. They can be read both as [I]Higashikata[/I] and [I]Touhou[/I].
It's not that I'm complaining, I'm just surprised

So now you're telling me he can forcibly revert stands back into the users body.
O boy, wonder why he doesn't do that more often.

SHA detaches from KQ's left hand. i imagine it was under the same rules as how josuke beats Bad Company
If you ever wonder why a character didn't just do x or y, it's because of a plot reason and to keep the story going the way the author wants it to. I don't know, that stuff doesn't bother me.
I got into Jojo for the adventure and shonen aspect, but stuff past 3 come across as a bit of slice of life, so my interest starts dropping off. Does the original theme of the series keep going past 3?

5 is monster of the week in Italy, 6 is monster of the week in jail, 7 and 8 take the series in the direction of seinen so there's still battles but often more mature themes and the writing improves drastically. The setting of 7 is a mild spoiler but it's a tale of conflicting interest and travel, and 8 is a murder-mystery/thriller.
[sp]4 is the second best part[/sp]

part 4's slightly slice of life style is unique to that part, 5 and 6 are very similar to 3
Part 3 is one of my favorite parts because of the slice-of-life segments of it. I can understand people thay come to it expecting the typical action-packed stuff from shonen mangas but I actually quite like the Trip to egypt aspect of it.
Did you mean monster/bad guy of the week? That's basically what part 3 was.
[QUOTE=WhichStrider;51493586]Did you mean monster/bad guy of the week? That's basically what part 3 was.[/QUOTE]
i think he means the small bits and pieces between the fights, stuff like indian toilets, haggling for kebab and little stuff like that
[QUOTE=Rudevinny;51493072]My only gripe with Part 4 is that Okuyasu is probably the best BroJo after Gyro and yet he doesn't get enough screen time.
How could you not love the 20-year old gopnik with the voice of a 50-year old chain smoker stuck in a Japanese high schooler's body?

Ah, the little stuff. I understand now, my bad. Yeah, there was some little stuff. I more so remember it for being "oh man it sure is nice we can relax now, this has been a long trip- uh oh, enemy stand is ruining our time off!" so it always felt too short lived. Makes sense given the story.

If the preview is any indication of the overall quality of the episode, they learned from part 3's finale and decided to divert all manpower to make part 4's finale look fucking amazing.
I'm worried they're going to cheap out on the close up of Josukes pose
generally, they've been pretty on point with the close-ups
Quiet Life part 1, I Am An Alien, and the final part of July 15th were all various shades of rough/B-teamed to hell and back, but the close-ups in them were all pretty solid for the most part (aside from, like, goblin queen, which was fortunately immediately fixed)
also, holy shit, we're almost through Part 4. How long do you guys think they'll wait before announcing Part 5? I'm thinking no time at all, and that we'll get a teaser at the end of the last ep of DiU
Yeah they don't even need to show [sp]Giorno[/sp], just [sp]Koichi arriving at Italy[/sp] and I'd be satisfied.

They could show Jotaro at his desk looking at his books and study material and discovering that[sp]Dio has a son in Italy[/sp]
[QUOTE=New Cidem;51498445]They could show Jotaro at his desk looking at his books and study material and discovering that[sp]Dio has a son in Italy[/sp][/QUOTE]
this'd be a great teaser, it's something that isn't straight up shown in part 5 (as far as i remember), plus it's a cliffhanger animeonlies can get excited about without prior knowledge of part 5
I really hope they tweak the artstyle again, not that the current one is bad, but i feel like Vento Aureo needs some extra detail in its backgrounds (much more like part 3's artstyle) because it's gonna be another on the road adventure with tons of different locations that really need to shine.
So yeah, part 4's character style + part 3's overall detail would be nice

If any part is going to be shown extra love, it's gonna be 5. Japan goes nuts for Vento Aureo.

They seem to have a romanticized idea of what Europe is like, and many Japanese who visit France only to discover that it's a normal place like any other country actually sometimes return with Paris Syndrome, a form of disillusioned depression.
