    My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.

    I think my favorite thing Araki added to the Jojo lore in this part is that stand users are naturally attracted to each other. It's probably my favorite plot device ever because it adds a price to having powers. The fact that stands can only be seen by other stand users, fight in the style of the personality of the user, and are destined to meet in some way means that a battle can happen anywhere, under any context, and can have any outcome while not going off tangent from the plot. It's the greatest story telling power system, IMO.
    It's a shame we don't get more of Josuke though since he compliments literally any character. His stand is a more direct version of Hermit Purple in that they both have a reverse engineering way of solving problems except Hermit Purple is more abstract whereas Crazy Diamond is more physical. Yet when he's faced with Kira's Stray Cat bubble bombs, he's forced to take a long range indirect approach instead. He also has Jotaro's temper, Joseph's wit, and Jonathan's heart. Hearing him apologize to Jotaro for being Joseph's son still gets me now. I can see why he's Araki's favorite Jojo.

      I'm pretty sure araki is gay and this lore thing was inspired by the way gay people used to meet back in the 80's. You didn't have anyone openly gay or any apps and site to meet them but some times you'd just come across someone and feel there's something. Despite both hiding you would often end up somehow finding people who are gay if you were gay yourself. Kinda like if gay people attract gay people.
      There's a lot of little things like that that feels like gay whistleblows in jojo some more subtle than others

    Part 4 is probably my personal favorite of the jojo parts, from the creative stand battles and strange encounters, to the wacky and enjoyable cast, to the whole Kira Story line and him as a villain, and most of all, Morioh itself. Morioh FEELS like a character in of itself and I love how it seems like a “slice of life” with random encounters that all culminate an a very interesting and intriguing story.

    What really has been really great for me in JoJo are the villains.
    They're powerful and they are fucking smart. They don't do dumb shit and get killed. The Jojos need to earn their victories. That feels so much more satisfying.
    That final fight with Dio in part 3 was so good. He had the upper hand in power and he still never underestimated Jotaro. Always seeking to finish the fight. So great.
    Kira as well, such a smart and deadly villain. Even the Pillarmen, who were mostly honorable, still were quite vicious.

      id dispute the "they dont do dumb shit and get killed" claim, almost all of them think they've won when before the battle is over (DIO toying and testing Jotaro is a great example, I, Yoshikage Kira, HAVE WON etc etc) but i know what you mean, they are all dangerously competent threats to the protags and every time they end up losing is because of themselves and their evil choices. DIO's ego is what made him rise to power in the first place, but that same ego blinded him from the true threat of the joestars until it was far too late.

    Now that you've finished part 4, you can now safely track down and read all the jojo spinoffs (Dead Man's Question, Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan) with no fears of spoilers.
    They're both fun ways that Araki has expanded the lore of jojo over the years, but I won't go further into them to avoid spoilers.
    Also note with the Kishibe Rohan spinoff, the chapter numbers are intentionally not the actual chapter they came out, some were left out on purpose. Its especially weird if you want to read in publication order, because it starts with Episode 16, then 2, then "Rohan at the Louvre", 5, 6, 4, and only then do we start seeing things in order (from 7 - 11, where it currently has stopped). Some of them have been adapted to the anime on Netflix as well.
    As for my personal rankings after reading everything?
    1. Part 2 + 7. I honestly couldn't pick between the 2. I have 2 because its got my favourite Jojo, and you may disagree with me but the pillar men were peak. Dio was great, but what about 3 almost Dios? I'll avoid Part 7 talk because of spoilers, but the pacing, storytelling, and shenanigans they get up to in Part 2 and 7 far exceed the other parts (for met at least).
    2. Part 4. Its got my favourite Jobro (Okuyasu), and my favourite 1-shot episode (Lets Go Eat Italian food). And the much smaller scale helps a lot with the storytelling, we aren't worried about the fate of the world, its just a serial killer who intends to keep his identity a secret while continuing to kill (which if he kills monthly and lives to 89 would still be like 700 people, but significantly less than if Kars or DIO were allowed to walk free).
    3. Part 6. While it didn't suck me in like the other parts, there was a clear turning point about half way through that quickly pushed part 6 up the list for me. That second half the story was great, culminating in the best possible ending for the original universe (part 7-9 takes place in an alternate universe where things happen differently, such as stands manifesting in the 1800's)
    4. Part 1. Like you mentioned in your part 1 review, Part 1 was a very strong part. Jonathan is who we should all aspire to be, and Dio was a far bigger focus in this part unlike later on where he's a strong finish, but hides until then. And its also a nice quick watch - at 9 episodes, you can get through it in an afternoon, so it doesn't overstay its welcome (like certain other parts)
    5. Part 5. There are definitely moments in part 5 that I enjoy, but overall there wasn't any extreme standouts for me that the other parts had. That said, I'd still consider it better than like 90% of the anime I've consumed over the years.
    6. Controversial, but I'm putting part 3 here. I didn't mind it the first time, but going back for a rewatch it is a huge drag. So many of the villains have just way too long a focus on them, when we could be getting to the Darby Brothers, Vanilla Ice, and DIO sooner. And the anime pacing doesn't help. Stardust crusaders is 48 episodes, but its manga was 152 chapters. In comparison, Diamond is Unbreakable was 39 episodes, and its manga was 174 chapters. They fit 15% more manga into 20% less anime and it felt like nothing was skipped.
    As for part 8 and 9? I read part 8 monthly, so to be honest I think I'm in for a reread. Part 9 is too early for an opinion on it.

  • @MarkHogan994
    @MarkHogan994 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +29

    Part 4 is my favorite part. The setting of Morioh is perfect, it's such a strange, mysterious, yet also weirdly cozy town. I love the vibe, the secrets, the sense of anything being possible in this small rural town. Kira is also a great villain who brings so much tension and suspense. I love that this part doesn't just follow one linear plot but instead focuses on different groups of characters at different times. Having episodes that were just about Kira, Hayato and Shinobu, others that pair Koichi with Jotaro, or rohan with Koichi, etc... was so cool.
    I hope you enjoy parts 5 and 6. Both of these parts are quite popular in the JoJo fandom these days even though they didn't use to be as beloved. Personally I wasn't a huge fan of either one but they both still have some cool things (part 5 has a really strong supporting cast, and part 6 has a really cool JoJo). The adventure only gets more bizarre from now on, lol.

Then he shows up again later!

Hayato is not a Stand user, and doesnt know they even exists, so he doesnt know the mechanics of how they work, and is so much harder for him to figure out compared to out Stand user protagonists. He is up against one of *the* most powerful and broken Stand in the entire series. And pulled it off.

    This is a fantastic review! Part 4 is my personal favorite because the relationship between Josuke & Okuyasu reminds me of my own relationship with my friend. Kira is a fantastic change from the villains we have seen in Jojo! Also Araki did such a great job at writing the mystery behind how his stand works & making me wonder how he would be defeated during Bites the Dust.
    Also another really awesome opening animation change when we learn about Bites the Dust and I really love that Morioh is it's own character.

    @TheOnlyGETdaD 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    One little detail I love in Part 4 is how Jotaro takes Josuke to teach him how to shoot things with his stand saying that it'll come in handy then during the final fight with Kira, Josuke being able to aim with his stand was a crucial factor.

    Part 4 is the only part that went from least favourite to most favourite after I rewatched it.
    I accepted the subtleness and easy nature of this world.
    It was hard for me to change my stance after the bombastic adventure that Part 2&3 was.

  • @bridgettelair370
    @bridgettelair370 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Part 4 is my absolute favorite so far! I loved how we get such unique stands and that some aren't even for fighting, makes the power system a lot more interesting. All the characters were super fun and the town feels like a real place with all the landmarks and people we've seen and met. Plus it's got my fav Jojo Jotaro in it as a mentor which fits his character really well.
    I totally also love the fight between Jotaro, Koichi, and Kira, especially when Koichi calls out Kira's name and declares that Kira will get caught even if he dies because a kid like him found out, he really won the mental battle there.
    Super excited to see your thoughts on the other parts, while I didn't love them as much as Part 4 personally they are really good! I will definitely leave a comment about what happened when my brother and I watched the ending of Part 6 because it coincided with the show way too well but it's kind of a spoiler so I'll wait.

    One note: Joseph cheated on Suzi Q YEARS before the journey to Egypt as Josuke was shown getting affected by Dio's curse (which means that he already was a kid during Stardust Crusaders). The Joseph that cheated on Suzi was the one that was frustrated about barely seeing his daughter and grandson, not the one in Stardust Crusaders that was experiencing one of the highlights of his life and growing close to his grandson. It's a really important distinction for his character and the context of the affair.

      Joseph comes to Morioh.
      Joseph finds invisible child.
      Joseph tries to solve problem with money.
      Josuke is unimpressed.
      Joseph tries solving problem through self-sacrifice.

    @Felipera_ 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Josuke's name roughly means "Support", and on top of that his stand ability is very much a support ability. The main character of part 4 is the morioh town, and Josuke is very deliberately a support protagonist, and that works for me.

  • @PrixtoTNT
    @PrixtoTNT 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I seriously love how Kira never wants to fight and is forced to. It makes him feel so different. I love how he's both really human and really intimidating when he needs to. Strange combination but he really pulls off both sides perfectly.
    Oooh when he's fighting Josuke and Okuyasu wakes up, and Jotaro Koichi and Rohan get there too, his desesperate look, like a child who broke something and his parents are coming home. It just feels so real. I love it

    Very much agreed on loving all the parts for different reasons. Part 4 is probably favorite overall, Joseph in part 2 might be my favorite Jojo, but Part 6's Jolyne is up there too. Part 5 might be the weakest for me, but I still love it and much of the crew. There's not a flop in the whole series and I'm excited to see you experience it. Got me to rewatch the show and I'm on Part 5 now.

  • @sammypenguin1257
    @sammypenguin1257 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I like how you talked about the interwoven nature of Part 4. In my opinion, every episode is necessary to understand Part 4, with one exception: Let's Go Eat Italian Food. But that episode is so good that I would never tell anyone to skip it. (It's also the first Stand "battle" of the part that isn't "this person is out to get us," which is a core theme of community that Part 4 develops more.)

  • @wraith.ferron
    @wraith.ferron 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    An interesting point about how JJBA changes genre with each part actually helps with anime and live action series recommendations for friends.
    For example, if part 4 is a person's favorite, then the episodic+overarching plot combo also happens in series like Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (drama, cyberpunk), Card Captor Sakura (shoujo, magical girl), and even Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
    If nothing else, it's a great way to help figure out what to potentially look into.

    The anime was so set on emphasizing this small town. I love that there are scenes where you can see unintroduced characters in the background just living life. When Kira escapes, you're also able to see the next few stand users the show introduces in that square alongside Kira's new identity. Details like this solidify Diamond is Unbreakable as my favourite Jojo's part.

  • @PrixtoTNT
    @PrixtoTNT 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Every time I find a new JoJo video from you it feels like a happy jumpscare lol.
    Congrats on finishing Part 4! I'm happy you liked it!
    Some fun facts about the creation of Part 4:
    The concept of Part 4 came from an unused idea for a Stand battle in Part 3. Araki liked the idea of a little town the Crusaders stayed in, in which you wouldn't know who the Stand user is, but he felt like the Crusaders staying in a single place for so long wouldn't make much sense. So for Part 4 he made the whole location a town, a town inspired by his own hometown in Sendai by the way.
    Also Kira's creation is interesting. Araki was struggling on how to make a big bad. He didn't want to fall in the classic Shonen problem of the next villain being always stronger, as he felt that he couldn't just make something like that after the battle with Dio that was the conclusion of three whole Parts, so after putting some thought to it he created Kira, and thus we went from a 100 year old vampire who wants to rule the world to a killer in a small town who has a Stand that's physically weaker than the main group. Probably one of the most important marks in his career of discovering he can do anything

    I have a feeling (at least for the anime adapted parts) that Part 3 will still be your favorite by the end but based on that love for the chaotic, over the top, band of brothers, journey format, I think Part 5 is going to be a fun time for you! I’m looking forward to that!
    Part 4 will always be my favorite JoJo part. The mystery element and unnerving realness to Kira combined with this small town setting in a world where stand users are innately pulled to each other make for the perfect unraveling of plot to me. JoJo’s was my first anime and Part 3 got my attention/fascination, but Part 4 got me hooked. Anyway! Have fun with the rest of the journey! See you in Italy! 👋

    Morio itself is the MC of part 4 in my eyes. Kira is most antagonistic to its livelihood after all.
    To me its obvious because everything circles back to the town.
    That aside, assuming I am wrong I feel part 4 is Araki at his most free. Its exactly what it is and that is to unique to be easily labeled.

    Love Merphy's character arc post becoming a one piece person. Pre-One Piece, as well as early one piece, she had said 'I'm not really into the absurd in fantasy' or something to that effect. Fast forward to her, now a Jojo's person, saying that the last fight could've been 'stranger and more over the top'.

      @@nes-fl7mz I paraphrased poorly. Upon looking into it I misremembered her in her first one piece review. She mentions how childish whimsical silly and fun elements are not what she usually goes for. She also states in that video how she struggled to suspend her disbelief for some of those aspects in One Piece. Which I still think covers what I meant by my first comment. Cause even relative to One Piece Jojo's is rather well, bizarre.
