On Other Meanings I take a look at stories with magic or speculative science, and I talk about the unique ways those elements are used. My first video is a spoiler filled interpretation of the manga JoJolion, but I plan on talking about all sorts of subjects, from the way that Shonen fight scenes are built on character dynamics to how magic systems can impact a narrative. If you like horror movies, fantasy books, or anime, then I'm bound to talk about something you'll like!
Phantom Blood Powers Explained | JoJo's Bizarre Analysis #2
Today, in JoJo’s Bizarre Analysis, we tackle the mysterious powers of Phantom Blood: Vampirism and Hamon (or The Ripple). These powers are more than arbitrary weirdness, they’re Araki’s themes and character motivations given form in this fighting focused story. They can also be confusing, so hopefully I can clear up a thing or two for you!

The Genre of Phantom Blood | JoJo's Bizarre Analysis #1
มุมมอง 4.4K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Today I begin a long journey through JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. My aim? To dissect the series bit by bit, learn what makes this series so lovable, and thereby understand the mind of God (or that of Hirohiko Araki, at any rate). I will examine the tropes and themes that are present in JoJo's, and attempt to explain what I see as an enduring ethos within this series. Welcome to the first episode o...
Single Attack Theory | JoJolion's Lore and Ending Explained
มุมมอง 309K3 ปีที่แล้ว
This is my Single Attack Theory, an interpretation of JoJolion, which is Part 8 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. My aim in this video is to weave together the complicated background story of JoJolion in order to explain why the end of the part shook out the way it did. Along the way I connect the events of JoJolion with themes that have endured from previous parts, and I tackle questions like why t...
Doesnt Johnny getting hit by his bullets send him to the worm hole dimension?
this shi so magnificent it made me almost cry. jojo seems so simple and weird on the surface but its meaning go way deeper than any show trying to be "deep" like attack on titan or something (not to hate ilove aot but it can still feel preachy.) the only thing which has come to achieve this exact feel in modern anime is prolly chainsaw man
joshu 4 hour character analysis when?
You guys got dirty deeds done dirt cheap? Naw, we got Righteous Actions Born of Reality.
I still don't understand how tusk targets Wonder Of U/Calamity part 7 because from what i understood the only calamity influencing force in part 7 was love train. Like how dose tusk targeting Valentine bleed into Wounder Of U in part 8?
This is a late addition, but considering what has been developing in part 9, these "shortcuts" seem to be that focal point with mechanisms and the flow of stuff? Someone smarter could make a better connection here?
@Darth_Bateman 2 days ago Josuke Higashikata List of Crimes: -Breaking and Entering -Identity Theft -Destruction of property -Trespassing -Assault & Battery -Murder -Evading Arrest -Terroristic Threats -Assaulting an officer -Stalking -Genocide -Hate Crimes -Public Indecency -Violation of a Corpse -Faking his own death -War Crimes -Driving without a license -Grand Theft Auto -Sexual Relations with a Minor
wow good job!
I love the implication of Wonder of U using the flow of calamity to cause ww2 just to stop Lucy steel from investigating the rokakaka
Tooru lore: Memories are bullshit Wonder of U lore:
Man I don't know. This all just sounds like superficial fluff for coincidences which happen in every story.
I love Jojo theology 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 shit more abstract then the bible
I was left pretty indifferent by part 8 after I read it, but this video has really made me rethink the part. I'm gonna re-read it with your points in mind.
Horror-Action manga.
38:01 "Faced with this incomprehensible power Wonder Of U, runs away." 😂 Xd
Are we gonna acknowledge that WOU ensured lucy couldn't come back by america entering WW2, means that WOU is directly responsible for pearl harbor
In a post-Part-9 world, I've come back to this video. The question that's posed now is- What is balancing out all of the good fortune that the Lava rock brings? Where is the bad fortune? OH AND WHERE IS THIS CHANNEL, I NEED YOU BACK !!
please come back
Love your videos my dude. I come back every couple of months to rewatch what you’ve got so far. I really hope you keep posting, because you’re genuinely super skilled at this and you’ve got such an interesting view on the stuff you talk about. If you’re feelin burnt out or life’s gettin in the way, that’s perfectly fine, but I for one hope to see you come up on my feed again :)
It's interesting to see how part 9 is already starting to show similar themes. Jodio and Dragona's ideas of 'the mechanism' and 'the absurd' seem to me like another version of 'good fortune' and 'calamity'.
I was hooked the second you explained Act IV shooting Johnny was just its function as trying to kill its original target of the disease. Wonderful analysis. JoJoLion will have mysteries that will continue to be unearthed for years I expect. The strangest JoJo part for sure, but also the deepest.
I just came across your videos, and I have to say they’re some of the best JoJo related videos I’ve seen on TH-cam. This deserves way more attention
Absolutely incredible video. The way that you speak is beautiful too.
Don't know if you're seeing this, but I'd really love to see more from this channel
Plz do up to part 4 at least I feel part 4 is where we get are best and most reliable characters and one of the best villains in kira
I don't know if anyone will read this, but I had the question after watching of "why did calamity latch onto the Higashikatas in the first place?" As far as I'm aware, neither Johnny, nor Rina or Norisuke, did anything to provoke WoU, so why them? My personal interpretation is that it's a side effect of ACT4 breaking through Love Train. If you think about it, it doesn't really make sense that Love Train would just not work just because Tusk was stronger than it. I believe that maybe being broken apart inflicted Love Train with so much misfortune that the person responsible, or even in direct contact with it, was cursed with an equivalent amount of misfortune; enough to break the power of the holy corpse, or enough to break the will of a bloodline forever. Essentially, the infinite miraculous power of Tusk ACT4 battling against the infinite karmic power of the Holy Corpse for a century.
But the curse of higashikatas is even older than the tusk act vs love train right, I think its similar to malagro man stand that Joshu meets as its a way to show where the curse activates maybe we get more explanation in Part 9??
If I understand this correctly... the spin has just become infinitely more terrifying. True Golden Rotation doesn't just transcend all barriers, its energy transcends, if not manipulate Fate itself until its target is eradicated. This takes me back to Gyro & Johnny vs Valentine, while the initial Ballbreaker throw didn't quite defeat Valentine due to its physical conduit limitations, the energy still remained , letting Johnny made use of it and finished the job via a much better Spin conduit provided by Tusk. It's as if Fate let Johnny had his hand on the steel ball, and use it on his horse to kickstart his own Perfect Golden Spin in a way. Like wise, when Johnny shot at the "Calamity" that plagued the Higashikata years ago, the Golden Rotation already homed in on the Calamity itself, but physical bullet cannot kill conceptual being like Calamity. The reason it took so long is because the Golden Rotational energy patiently latched itself on to Fate, waiting for the perfect "bullet" to appear and deliver the attack - who we all know now, is Josuke and the uncontrollable bubble from Soft&Wet Go Beyond. The only difference is that Johnny is aware about the Spin while Josuke isn't, until the very end. Still, Josuke "plunder" ability is very reminiscent of Tusk Act 3, where Johnny can shoot himself with the Golden Rotation and pull himself into a pocket dimension and can transport part of himself, or his entire body back via the bullet hole. The inside of S&W bubble is like a pocket dimension that can store physical concept but still maintain its connection to the world via the pop holes, and can still return the physical concept without harming it. What I'm trying to get is, S&W might have always been the Golden Spin in a way, but Josuke just isn't aware of it. Fate has bestow the Golden Rotation to Josefumi/Josuke, for he is the miraculous existence capable of defeating Calamity, now in the form Wonder of U. The only way to counter Perfect Golden Rotation is to either nullify it with a reverse version of the same rotation, or chop that part of your body off (like Diego Brando) and throw it away, kinda like redirecting the Rotational Energy way in the most dangerous game of Hot potato ever. Valentine and WoU didn't do that, so a "bullet" has already set in stone and greet them in future, sooner or later. The most crazy parts? Unlike Stands where you've gotta be lucky to get a powerful one like Wonder of U, anyone with a ball and a horse can perform Perfect Golden Rotation and "curse" the target to eternal damnation just like WoU did. And that's why The Spin is probably the best "common power system" that Araki has made yet. It's ridiculously powerful, anyone can do it, but you need the skill to execute it, and the effect is not always instantaneous. It's a lot of extra step, but in the end, the virtually infinite damage dealt pays off.
And when the world needed him the most,he vanished
My personal theory on the Family Curse; Ol' Gram Gram Higashikata was a Rock Human. Who ate the Equivalent Exchange fruit to become human. This however created a curse, that all his offspring would have to endure. As Carbon & Silicone life forms were never meant to coexist.
A thing that confused me..the first time I heard of part 8 Josuke I always thought it was a continuation of Part 4 Josuke’s Life deciding to become a Sailor and lose Crazy Diamond but Gain a new stand “Soft & Wet” but the reason I thought of that was because I never knew of Steel Ball Run or the fact it was all in a different universe.
This video made JoJo and especially JoJolion better for me than I even anticipated. Seeing all the themes Araki ever worked on and expanded upon in his story come into play and converge is truly insane. Topics of Fate, Gravity, Fortune, Calamity and Flow seamleassly and unnoticeably intertwining for this grand finale was definitely a roller-coaster of a ride. This is why part 8 is among my favorite parts. Thanks for this phenomenal video, Luis.
You should make the next part
16:58 the birthmark was recently removed in a reprint of the part
His steel balls😂
are you going to make the next part?
It's a bit ironic that at the time Dio was the trope of a character that is evil just because but now it's refreshing because every villain nowadays has to be a misunderstood character trying to make the world a better place by the wrong methods and pure evil characters just for the hell of it are rare. No Dios heaven plan isn't him trying to help society it's him wanting to rule the world because he's just pure evil
25:10 because josuke's bubbles are directly confirmed to be lines which spin fast enough to appear as such, the bubbles of Killer Queen and Soft & Wet (Josefumi) are more than likely the same, making their bubbles more than simply ideal conduits for the spin, but rather a direct showcase of the spin. You actually touch on the moment where Mamezuku confirms that Josuke's bubbles are spinning lines. This doesn't really change anything about the theory, but I felt like it was lacking enough mention in the video.
Did anyone else at some points in this vid feel like watching this would trigger Wonder of U lol?
Man you've explained the whole of the new universe very beautifully 🙏 thank you
God i love Jojo
Johnny beat WoU?
This video reduced my displeasure of the author tossing out story for the first 6 parts. Thank you.
Great video man this is really interesting. Part 8 is my favorite part so I always love to see more stuff about it and see it talked about more. Araki made the best parts back to back with 7 and 8 fr
Confluence of cascading coincidents, beutifull
Having finished Jojolion recently, I’m wondering what your take on that wacky part! *+600th comment!
I love this interpretation thank you so much
Amazing video, these connections are amazing but it makes me think of what jojolion could have been. Introducing toru earlier, cutting some of the mysteries that go nowhere, fleshing out go beyond like you have here. “Something that doesn’t exist… that does exist” made absolutely no sense to me, but the idea that the soft and wet bubbles are carrying the influence of a long dead saint’s attack is awesome. Josuke tapped into a power not by regaining his memories or memories of tusk 4, but by carrying on a dream that’s been manifesting itself meagerly through the century
Honestly hope anime does that. Introduce Tooru as a fuck boi flirting with Yasuho from the start. Show Johnny shooting the shot from behind Josuke for the final Go Beyond.
@@vj7248Dude, johnny behind josuke would be so badass, like he doesnt notice or anything, great idea
this is one of the best theories i’ve ever watched period, completely recontextualized the story for me and made me love it even more
this analysis was really entertaining and fun to watch. Hoping for more!
