@@lugoorstar Yeah that's it, I'm gonna find out where you live and sprinkle small amounts of sugar on your floor at midnight so when you go to get a snack you'll step all over it and get annoyed before trying to sweep it only to realize you can't see most of the sugar so when you manage to discard most of it you'll still leave a small amount on the floor for the whole night.
My favorite part is kira is that even though he’s clearly unhinged, he’s also very classy and cunning, like a mafia leader kind of. I also like his design, he’s supposed to stand out as the main villain, but he still managed to seem ordinary to those around him
a perfectly normal looking character in the main cast of jojo is a dead giveaway that that's the villain (with the exception of koichi and the guy with the puppet cause they just small)
The vampires: You fool, the world is mine, i will show that to you!! Yoshikage Kira: Yeah, i take walks every morning and go to picnics every sunday, all with my lovely severed-hand wife, i'm quirky like that, y' know, just to sprinkle some fun into life.
Kira is great because he's the only character in Jojo that has five seperate skins and one of them became a part of the main protagonist of the best part in Jojo.
Shigechi: "Hey you why is there a hand in your bag?" Kira:" Oh that's a prop for a movie and i don't want to just hold it out in the open because it looks gross" Part 4 end
honestly he literally could have just went up to shigechi and went "hey kid, you took my bag by accident, can i have it back?" and it probably would have been fine, he literally did not need to sneakily stalk a kid in the most suspicious way possible

@@booru452 I mean, all jojo villains are more interesting than most shounen antagonists. And not only the main villains, but also side villains, like Ringo from SBR, La Squadra from Vento Aureo, The Rock Humans from Jojolion, even the 9 Egyptian Gods (well, not all of them, mainly the D'Arby brothers)
The other thing about Joskue and Kira being opposites from each other is simply the look. When people look at Joskue they look at him as a Delinquent since in Japan people in gangs had that hair style so they probably thought he was a bad or disrespectful person not knowing he was a really nice and caring person. While In Kira looks he looks like a well mannered and nice person just by how he dressed. He has a nice suit nice hair clean shoes always caring a suit case yet they don’t know how he is a serial killer who is insane. As much as I loved this part I just noticed that today
I forgot the name of this but I believe there's a name for this effect, you just naturally assume a well dressed, clean person is the better one while you assume the dirtier, not well dressed one is the worse one. Interesting how that works
What I like about Kira is how he appears twice before his actual introduction, and you never notice it. He appears during Yukako’s episode with Cinderella, and the lesser known one, during The chili pepper fight (with josuke) during his rant on how he’s stealing power from the whole city, you can see Kira standing in front of the malfunctioning traffic light. It’s fascinating, showing how he can stand as a background character. An unsuspecting victim would never notice.
Kira is honestly one of the scariest anime/manga villains I've seen, because it's totally believable that someone just like him (minus the ability to silently atomize a person with just a touch) could live in your hometown, just a couple houses over, and you might never be any the wiser.
When you realize that Koichis arc is represented perfectly by his stand Act 1: sound of words, when Koichi was the first person to tell everyone there was a killer in Morioh Act 2: meaning of words, when Koichi was the one to inform everybody about Kira’s name, stand name and stand power Act 3: Weight of words, when Koichi was able to stop Kira from activating BTD just in time for Jortaro to get within range The koichi guy is insanely reliable
Araki said in an interview that the city of Morioh is defined by high strangeness camouflaged in mundaneness, filled with inhabitants who are fascinating but you don’t want to get too close to them. Kira, despite being a dangerous anomaly, actually fit in well in Morioh for his anomalous nature. BRAVO! Another fantastic & insightful video!!
Kira is honestly my favorite villian because of not only his perfect design and motivations but also how despite being a realitively normal guy there is a sense of entitlement and darkness to Kira. Him sending sheer heart attack on unsuspecting non stand user women is honestly proof of how terrible he really is
When did that happen again? I just remember him using Sheer Heart Attack in the tailor's shop which had his suit and once again when he escapes from Josuke & co after cutting off his hand.
@@elmo4672 bit late but i can explain. So you know he has been killing for 15 years right? In that time he must have close calls (victims escaping, eye witnesses) right? sheer heart attack was created to chase down victims who were escaping, killer queen doesn't have the much range so it must kill victims far away somehow? we dont see this in the show because kira is still a careful man, just putting the pieces together terrified me. Imaging your being chased down by a serial kill and everywhere you go starts blowing up, the sheer heart attack from it blows me away
@@delphic7716 Spoilers Yeah I was genuinely upset to see him die so early I was really hoping to see more flashbacks or even him being revived. And the way he got killed was also really upsetting Vitamin C is so fucking scary.
@@delphic7716 Spoilers It seems Killer Queen 8 can summon a lot of SHA, and can spawn explosions bubbles, but he lacks the ability to turn anything into a bomb
shold have been "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.

Basically, Shigechi , you are a troublesome thing that would hinder my sleep, therefore my enemy. Killer Queen ... is what I've named it. I'm going to eliminate you now before you have a chance to speak, so I can sleep soundly again tonight."
This is prob the scariest villain in my opinion. Simply because of his mentality. People like him do exist in real life too. Just looking normal like him, hiding their unhinged, murderous, psychopathic intentions, ready to kill you at any moment. This dude simply gave me a whole different perspective of seeing ppl in public
@@whizthesugoi thanks for the encouragement. i have been getting better at writing fanfictions and maybe i could write in a fight where the duwang gang find kira again and he has to convince them he's trying to live a new life.
Do it m8 You're not losing anything by doing it in the time you'd be watching videos or taking a time for yourself You can only enhance your abilities in return, even if it turns out bad in the end Would be cool to see him having all the bombs right at the start as well, i think things would turn out differently
Because that's what it is, this dude is so overreaching with this shit and assumptions it hurts, if you spend enough time and go trough enough artists you can make like 10 other bads fit Kira design and what not.
Kira is probably the most realistic villain in JoJo, he's a pure psychopath that wants a quiet domestic life while committing crimes with his stand and will do anything to achieve the life he wants, I also like that he has a mudane appearance compared to a lot of characters in the series
I’ve always loved that Kira as a villain was never given a choice at a truly normal life. He was born with the urges to kill and with that, his only two choices are to keep it inside himself and live miserably or act on them and live happily while others die. It doesn’t justify his actions, but it adds to the fact that it’s his destiny at birth to be the chaos in Josuke’s life.
I love Yoshikage because he acts and thinks like a genuine Psychopath that help amplifies the themes of community and Justice in part 4 making him a Amazing antagonist
I didn't expect this but I really needed it kira is so good not even meti could list everything great about him (eg. more similarities to cats, relationship with hayato, ocasional cockyness and emotional changing, etc)
Breath of the Killer: First Form - Contact Bomb Breath of the Killer: Second Form - Heat Seeker Breath of the Killer: Third Form - Death Infinity Breath of the Killer: Fourth Form - Silent Killer
To be fair Kira is a much different antagonist than Diavolo, so having King Crimson be an overpowered stand makes sense since he isn't supposed to be a relatable villain like Kira but a force of nature villain that the heroes must overcome. And even though GER is the most op stand in existence, when Giorno achieved that power, it felt earned since he had to work to get the arrow
Man, David Bowie was always my favorite jojo character. Even when I was extremely new to Jojo, I knew that Kira was gonna be my favorite. He's got the looks, the suit, the personality, the stand, the intimidation! He will probably stay my favorite Jojo character, and I will always be jealous that I will never able to write a character HALF as good as him. Also, Queen is one of my favorite bands and I always sing Killer Queen in the shower. 10/10, bravo Araki.
You know what, I actually finished my second rewatch of part 4 recently and I’ve really appreciated Yoshikage Kira more and how good of an antagonist he is, plus killer queen is such a badass stand too.
I have a theory on a musical reference to Kira’s personality. So apparently Freddie Mercury once said “what I’m trying to say is that high class people can be whores to”. This was when someone asked him about the song killer queen. But this fits Kira pretty well, Kira is a man that does things that society wouldn’t accept. So in Kira’s case it’s that normal looking people can be monsters too.
you forgot one crucial thing about the perfection of kira: his theme his theme fits so well with him it goes from something unassuming like elevator music to something sinister and dark which is basically what kira does when he goes to kill like you wouldnt expect someone who looks like kira to kill you
My name is Tohru Adachi. I'm 27 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Inaba, where all the villas are. I work as a detective in the Inaba Police Department.
The underpressure part is also a great part when he was careing for Shinobus safe. That wad his last chance to change, and not get under the pressure of killing. If you listen to under pressure when he fights stray cat, it mimics a lot of what is going on in his mind, is kinda crazy how well is executed that chapter
I always liked the monkey paw like effect of Bitez Za Dusto. Kira got the peaceful life he wanted, he didnt need to concern himself with what was going on because his stands taking care of it. But in that same case his life is so peaceful he isnt informed about anything the stands doing. Hiyato could of reset over 1000 times, formed any amount of plans, dont anything and he would never know how in jeopardy that peaceful life of his was. Idk it's always something I rarely hear anyone talk about, how ironic it all turned out so I'm glad someone finally did.
Wow. As a HUGE fan of Yoshikage Kira, I really enjoyed this, and I learned a few things I didn't know previously about one of my all time favorite villains. Thank you for making this, its awesome. Also I hope Medicos gets around to making a Super Action Statue of Dead Man's questions Kira and the JoJolion version
Queen and Kira fit together so well it makes me wonder, who was first, designing Kira then naming his abilities or picking random queen lyrics and making abilities
I'm not sure if this was also in the manga, but in the anime, Kira does actually show a semblance of mercy towards someone. During the Sheer Heart Attack fight, Kira starts heading back to the shoe store to see what was taking so long, and gets harassed by two guys. His wallet fell out of his jacket pocket, and the goon picked it up. Instead of an instant detonation the moment he touched the WALLET, it only occured when he touched the MONEY, which suggested that Kira was willing to leave them be if they simply gave his wallet back, and even then, he only blew up the guy's hand (though that might just be because there was another guy with him, so there'd be a potential witness).
Videos like this really show how well thought out Jojo actually is with so many things actually lining up when you look into them. You'd look at Kira and simply think, likely because of Death Note, that his called that because he's a killer but his name has a deeper meaning. His appearance has a deeper meaning, his Stand names have deeper meaning, even his personality. It just makes me appreciate moments from the series that I never thought of at first but when I did made perfect sense. One example is related to Kira when he has Cinderella grant him a new face. As I recall, Aya's goal was to help people in their love life with her stand with this allowing Yukako to finally be with Koichi. With this in mind, its extremely interesting that even when forced to use her Stand to help Kira, she unintentionally helps a failing marriage as Shinobu hated her marriage and her husband all the way up until he was replaced by Kira (unknown to her). Now she was suddenly happy and super in love with what she thought was her husband and its possible that Kira was falling for her too. Even when forced against her will, she manages to help someone find love, even if unwilling and unintentional, this trend stuck through the series. Another example of this is Polnareff when he confronts both DIO and Diavolo. Dio is Italian for God and Diavolo is Italian for Devil and when Polnareff confronts DIO, he's looking up at him, looking up at God while when faced with Diavolo he is looking down, down at the devil himself. Araki is an amazing writer, everything he puts in place fits, makes sense and seems incredibly thought out. Despite what the 'Araki Forgot' crowd may think, he does actually think hard about his work, he's not constantly forgetting crucial details, far from it infact and ironically its these very same people who are forgetting things just to point out an alleged plot hole. This just makes me love the series more and more.
Those who says "Araki forgot" are actually the fans who forget more than the author. The actual araki moments are just some minor mistakes. Do you know what saddens me? What`s saddens me is that most people only watch Jojo just for the memes and for tiktok and yet they are missing a such masterpiece.
Even though that I like Arakis character and their clothing design, the fact that Yoshikage Kira is one of the very few, wearing an actual Suit (If you leave season 1 out) Makes perfect sense, because all he wants Is a quiet life, and not to attract any attention.
CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE *CAT HATCH* "kira hollows out killer queens abdomen" what like, does this mean he has a hollow abdomen? he should feel this, right? can every stand user do this? i'm so confused by this
When Kira gets taken to the Bad Alleyway™ Killer Queen’s body is shown fracturing like glass and when Killer Queen get punched by Crazy Diamond Killer Queen’s face fractures like glass without and actual damage to Kira’s face
Might be my favourite antagonist of all time, he's like a combination of Patrick Bateman from American Psycho and Jack from The House That Jack Built. But JoJo p4 came out before either of those movies which makes him all the more genius.
Notably, I think his abusive mom plays well into his former persona he had before taking on a new identity. He likely wanted to feel in control of his environment and reminds himself of that when he recites the info on himself. Its the conditions he finds safe cause he controls them and won't let anyone infringe on them. Control let's him feel safe and he doesn't want a life of conflict since its deeply uncomfortable for him. Additionally his only female role model was abusive towards him and thus why he never willingly found a female partner and more saw any perspective women as potential outlets for his murderous hand fetish. Both sides of him were influenced from his upbringing in that cruel household.
Damn, Kira really is flawless. And there's still so many more things about him that weren't in the video. I feel like Araki's genius is beyond human comprehension. How do you even create something so perfect? Also I want to add: How realistic he feels. For all we know we pass murderers like him on the street each day without almost ever thinking about it. There's actually evil like this out there, in the real world. And it's terrifying to think about. The way he's not that kind of a villain that aims for a "greater goal". Like ruling the world. He just wants to enjoy his "average" life, in his own wicked way. I love pretty much everything about him, from which I can name like 3 things. I'm really bad at putting anything into words so. All I can say is. I just love this character so much. If you share my love for him and you have a way with words, please share, I'll be more than happy to read it all :3cc
I hated the amount of people that wouldn't shut up about jojo and almost didn't watch it. Eventually partially because of my friend recommending it and also because I loved Giorno's theme and wanted to see what that was about i gave in and watched it. I really only cared about watching vento aureo and after getting through phantom blood barely started enjoying it because of battle tendency. Stardust crusaders was pretty good as well and I was hooked watching it. Then came Diamond is Unbreakable. I saw the character designs and some of the intros and thought i was going to have to slog through it, but the more I watched it the more I enjoyed it and I loved the second half. After watching Vento Aureo and being a bit disappointed by it I was trying to figure out what made DiU so good to me and I realized it was all Kira. I liked the heroes well enough and the setting was nice, but Kira was such a well written villain with plenty of development and at times you even sympathize with his motivations of being able to live a quiet life. He was such a good opposite of Josuke and really brought out the best of all the heroes and had me on the edge of my seat a lot of the time. He really made JBA one of my favorite anime.
I think it's interesting that Kira's nails grow when he feels the urge to kill, simmiliar to a cat ready to pounce.

A man perfect till his death
When you realize that Koichis arc is represented perfectly by his stand
Act 1: sound of words, when Koichi was the first person to tell everyone there was a killer in Morioh
Act 2: meaning of words, when Koichi was the one to inform everybody about Kira’s name, stand name and stand power
Act 3: Weight of words, when Koichi was able to stop Kira from activating BTD just in time for Jortaro to get within range
The koichi guy is insanely reliable
Araki said in an interview that the city of Morioh is defined by high strangeness camouflaged in mundaneness, filled with inhabitants who are fascinating but you don’t want to get too close to them.
Kira, despite being a dangerous anomaly, actually fit in well in Morioh for his anomalous nature.
BRAVO! Another fantastic & insightful video!!
Kira is honestly my favorite villian because of not only his perfect design and motivations but also how despite being a realitively normal guy there is a sense of entitlement and darkness to Kira. Him sending sheer heart attack on unsuspecting non stand user women is honestly proof of how terrible he really is
When did that happen again? I just remember him using Sheer Heart Attack in the tailor's shop which had his suit and once again when he escapes from Josuke & co after cutting off his hand.
@@elmo4672 bit late but i can explain. So you know he has been killing for 15 years right? In that time he must have close calls (victims escaping, eye witnesses) right? sheer heart attack was created to chase down victims who were escaping, killer queen doesn't have the much range so it must kill victims far away somehow? we dont see this in the show because kira is still a careful man, just putting the pieces together terrified me. Imaging your being chased down by a serial kill and everywhere you go starts blowing up, the sheer heart attack from it blows me away

shold have been "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. Basically, Shigechi , you are a troublesome thing that would hinder my sleep, therefore my enemy. Killer Queen ... is what I've named it. I'm going to eliminate you now before you have a chance to speak, so I can sleep soundly again tonight."
I hope Kira got a back rub in Dead Man's Questions.

This is prob the scariest villain in my opinion. Simply because of his mentality. People like him do exist in real life too. Just looking normal like him, hiding their unhinged, murderous, psychopathic intentions, ready to kill you at any moment.
This dude simply gave me a whole different perspective of seeing ppl in public

@@MegaSupernowa ik i just find these videos funny for that reason but also interesting
Have you ever seen how Kira treats his hands?
It's actually really wholesome.
Except the part where it's a dead person's hand.
Kira is probably the most realistic villain in JoJo, he's a pure psychopath that wants a quiet domestic life while committing crimes with his stand and will do anything to achieve the life he wants, I also like that he has a mudane appearance compared to a lot of characters in the series
I’ve always loved that Kira as a villain was never given a choice at a truly normal life. He was born with the urges to kill and with that, his only two choices are to keep it inside himself and live miserably or act on them and live happily while others die. It doesn’t justify his actions, but it adds to the fact that it’s his destiny at birth to be the chaos in Josuke’s life.
I love Yoshikage because he acts and thinks like a genuine Psychopath that help amplifies the themes of community and Justice in part 4 making him a Amazing antagonist
I am gonna say it, one of Kira’s abilities should have been called “under pressure” to reference the song made by Queen and Bowie
The way araki writes his villains is just outright spectacular.
I didn't expect this but I really needed it
kira is so good not even meti could list everything great about him (eg. more similarities to cats, relationship with hayato, ocasional cockyness and emotional changing, etc)
I just love the cat connections.

King crimson and GER: are we a joke to you?
To be fair Kira is a much different antagonist than Diavolo, so having King Crimson be an overpowered stand makes sense since he isn't supposed to be a relatable villain like Kira but a force of nature villain that the heroes must overcome. And even though GER is the most op stand in existence, when Giorno achieved that power, it felt earned since he had to work to get the arrow
Mr. Handman, give me a hand. Make it the finest hand in the land-
Man, David Bowie was always my favorite jojo character. Even when I was extremely new to Jojo, I knew that Kira was gonna be my favorite. He's got the looks, the suit, the personality, the stand, the intimidation! He will probably stay my favorite Jojo character, and I will always be jealous that I will never able to write a character HALF as good as him.
Also, Queen is one of my favorite bands and I always sing Killer Queen in the shower.

I see what he did there
If he ever talks about Adachi, he better have Kira’s Eyes of Heaven theme
I have a theory on a musical reference to Kira’s personality.
So apparently Freddie Mercury once said “what I’m trying to say is that high class people can be whores to”. This was when someone asked him about the song killer queen.
But this fits Kira pretty well, Kira is a man that does things that society wouldn’t accept. So in Kira’s case it’s that normal looking people can be monsters too.
The assassin of Morioh, also I never know Killer Queen have stand cry.
What about the shiba barrage
The title should've been "The Purrfection of Yoshikage Kira"

upvote!
Nice.
you forgot one crucial thing about the perfection of kira: his theme
his theme fits so well with him
it goes from something unassuming like elevator music to something sinister and dark which is basically what kira does when he goes to kill like you wouldnt expect someone who looks like kira to kill you
And the Kosaku version mirrors his new twisted power and cockiness
Wait, is my theme playing at 3:30? Damn I'm vibing to this now
My name is Tohru Adachi. I'm 27 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Inaba, where all the villas are. I work as a detective in the Inaba Police Department.
The underpressure part is also a great part when he was careing for Shinobus safe. That wad his last chance to change, and not get under the pressure of killing. If you listen to under pressure when he fights stray cat, it mimics a lot of what is going on in his mind, is kinda crazy how well is executed that chapter

There’s also a reference for Kira changing identities in the Killer Queen, in the lyric: “To avoid complications, she never kept the same address .”
Perfect video on my favourite antagonist! I have a feeling that you really enjoyed this video as well!
I also feel like Kira began to feel genuine love towards Shinobu
Meti: *going into the details of the functions of 「Sheer Heart Attack」
「Sheer Heart Attack」: *SPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN*
I always liked the monkey paw like effect of Bitez Za Dusto. Kira got the peaceful life he wanted, he didnt need to concern himself with what was going on because his stands taking care of it.
But in that same case his life is so peaceful he isnt informed about anything the stands doing. Hiyato could of reset over 1000 times, formed any amount of plans, dont anything and he would never know how in jeopardy that peaceful life of his was.
Idk it's always something I rarely hear anyone talk about, how ironic it all turned out so I'm glad someone finally did.
If Josuke is the heart of Morioh then Kira must be the brain. The antithetical way the that they act against one another and all
Wow. As a HUGE fan of Yoshikage Kira, I really enjoyed this, and I learned a few things I didn't know previously about one of my all time favorite villains. Thank you for making this, its awesome. Also I hope Medicos gets around to making a Super Action Statue of Dead Man's questions Kira and the JoJolion version
Queen and Kira fit together so well it makes me wonder, who was first, designing Kira then naming his abilities or picking random queen lyrics and making abilities
Arabic has said that MOST of the time he comes up with a Stand and then makes a character to fit said stand and abilities.
"Abusive mothers are a bit too dark for my manga. Lets leave it out. Anyway, back to murdering highscoolers."
You know Kira could’ve avoided this whole mess by convincing Shigechi that the hand was just a realistic-looking Halloween prop
I've been looking forward to this video for absolutely ages. You wonderful bastard.

I'm not sure if this was also in the manga, but in the anime, Kira does actually show a semblance of mercy towards someone. During the Sheer Heart Attack fight, Kira starts heading back to the shoe store to see what was taking so long, and gets harassed by two guys. His wallet fell out of his jacket pocket, and the goon picked it up. Instead of an instant detonation the moment he touched the WALLET, it only occured when he touched the MONEY, which suggested that Kira was willing to leave them be if they simply gave his wallet back, and even then, he only blew up the guy's hand (though that might just be because there was another guy with him, so there'd be a potential witness).
yes i love a good kira yoshikage appreciation video
Videos like this really show how well thought out Jojo actually is with so many things actually lining up when you look into them. You'd look at Kira and simply think, likely because of Death Note, that his called that because he's a killer but his name has a deeper meaning. His appearance has a deeper meaning, his Stand names have deeper meaning, even his personality. It just makes me appreciate moments from the series that I never thought of at first but when I did made perfect sense. One example is related to Kira when he has Cinderella grant him a new face. As I recall, Aya's goal was to help people in their love life with her stand with this allowing Yukako to finally be with Koichi. With this in mind, its extremely interesting that even when forced to use her Stand to help Kira, she unintentionally helps a failing marriage as Shinobu hated her marriage and her husband all the way up until he was replaced by Kira (unknown to her). Now she was suddenly happy and super in love with what she thought was her husband and its possible that Kira was falling for her too. Even when forced against her will, she manages to help someone find love, even if unwilling and unintentional, this trend stuck through the series. Another example of this is Polnareff when he confronts both DIO and Diavolo. Dio is Italian for God and Diavolo is Italian for Devil and when Polnareff confronts DIO, he's looking up at him, looking up at God while when faced with Diavolo he is looking down, down at the devil himself. Araki is an amazing writer, everything he puts in place fits, makes sense and seems incredibly thought out. Despite what the 'Araki Forgot' crowd may think, he does actually think hard about his work, he's not constantly forgetting crucial details, far from it infact and ironically its these very same people who are forgetting things just to point out an alleged plot hole. This just makes me love the series more and more.
Those who says "Araki forgot" are actually the fans who forget more than the author. The actual araki moments are just some minor mistakes. Do you know what saddens me? What`s saddens me is that most people only watch Jojo just for the memes and for tiktok and yet they are missing a such masterpiece.

When Sheer Heart Attack was spinning, I thought I heard Vinny's voice in my head, but it was actually the video lol
19:06 "Tone of being too dark for a magazine for younger readers"
That is the most irony statement, Araki has ever said.
Notably, I think his abusive mom plays well into his former persona he had before taking on a new identity. He likely wanted to feel in control of his environment and reminds himself of that when he recites the info on himself. Its the conditions he finds safe cause he controls them and won't let anyone infringe on them. Control let's him feel safe and he doesn't want a life of conflict since its deeply uncomfortable for him. Additionally his only female role model was abusive towards him and thus why he never willingly found a female partner and more saw any perspective women as potential outlets for his murderous hand fetish. Both sides of him were influenced from his upbringing in that cruel household.
Maybe not related to discussion, but i'm so glad you use Sengoku's daimyo pictures from greatest turn-based game ever :D

SPEEeeeeeeen
Damn, Kira really is flawless. And there's still so many more things about him that weren't in the video.
I feel like Araki's genius is beyond human comprehension. How do you even create something so perfect?
Also I want to add:
How realistic he feels. For all we know we pass murderers like him on the street each day without almost ever thinking about it. There's actually evil like this out there, in the real world. And it's terrifying to think about.
The way he's not that kind of a villain that aims for a "greater goal". Like ruling the world. He just wants to enjoy his "average" life, in his own wicked way.
I love pretty much everything about him, from which I can name like 3 things. I'm really bad at putting anything into words so. All I can say is. I just love this character so much.
If you share my love for him and you have a way with words, please share, I'll be more than happy to read it all :3cc
I hated the amount of people that wouldn't shut up about jojo and almost didn't watch it. Eventually partially because of my friend recommending it and also because I loved Giorno's theme and wanted to see what that was about i gave in and watched it.
I really only cared about watching vento aureo and after getting through phantom blood barely started enjoying it because of battle tendency. Stardust crusaders was pretty good as well and I was hooked watching it.
Then came Diamond is Unbreakable. I saw the character designs and some of the intros and thought i was going to have to slog through it, but the more I watched it the more I enjoyed it and I loved the second half. After watching Vento Aureo and being a bit disappointed by it I was trying to figure out what made DiU so good to me and I realized it was all Kira.
I liked the heroes well enough and the setting was nice, but Kira was such a well written villain with plenty of development and at times you even sympathize with his motivations of being able to live a quiet life. He was such a good opposite of Josuke and really brought out the best of all the heroes and had me on the edge of my seat a lot of the time. He really made JBA one of my favorite anime.
One of my favorite parts of your videos are your openings... they always make me feel some type of way.
