Why JOJO OPs Matter
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 พ.ย. 2022
- JoJo Openings are special. The studio behind them, David Productions and Kamikaze Douga have put so much effort into them so I decided to make a video about appreciating them for what they brought to the new anime adaptation of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
Each Part is unique in how it's opening helps affect the experience of watching it so I really wanted to show why they are so important to making this an enjoyable viewing experience.
I sincerely hope you like this video. It's one I've been sitting on for a while and wanted to make sure that I got out before the release of Stone Ocean Batch 3. Let's hope the Batch is good but I'm not holding my breath...

That 0.3 percent was putting in work, thank goodness
yeah
Very happy it went that way
@@TheShuckmeisterI'm curious thoo, why were you so convinced there wouldn't be a new op?
@@govnorelven4036 Netflix dont like new opening
what do you get when a queen brutally murders her husband?
Killa Queen and King Crimson
Well, as Japanese fans said in the comments for the Stone Ocean OP: “The main Joestar bloodline gets 3D openings, the bastard children get 2D openings.”
Gotdayum..... lmao
So by that logic, Johnny will have a 3D and Gappy will have a 2D opening lmao
@@blokvader8283 gappy should have a opening tha mixes 2d and 3d,because you know.
@@delededendboyyt That actually would be really cool, exactly like what Bloody Stream does
If Part 8 ever does get animated, Coda best be making the OP music lmao
@@blokvader8283 coda weirdness does fit jojolion well
There are two things that every fan of JoJo is excited for when a new season drops it's trailer, seeing the opening and seeing what American song is used for the ending.....there's a certain science for JoJo.
that’s funny cus only three of the nine jojo endings are by americans
Western would be a better word
If it ain't What a Wonderful World, I'll riot
Stairway to Heaven is going to send goosebumps if it's the Ending.
@@duxangus I want the first part of steel ball run ending meet me halfway, by the black eyed peas, the second part can be heartbreak hotel, the third part everybody wants to rule the world
Seeing the last opening of this universe wrap back around to the first one was truly a beautiful duwang
Duwang?
@@run2giorno665 duwang is a joke referencing a terrible jojo translation
*chew*
I am the fucking strong
@@RandomGal111 the rain sounds like josuke
Correction: The fourth OP is called "Sono chi no Kioku" meaning Memories of the Bloodline. You called it "Sono chi no Kisoku" that means Aristocracy of the Bloodline which I find hilarious
My dumbass thought you said "Sono chi no Sadame" and went to correct you 💀
The OP makes sense now 😂
To be fair, the Joestar bloodline is an aristocrat one, so it makes sense
@@jyousemorenoeng thanks to the incidental character Speedwagon foundation
@@The_BlOb No.
The Joestar family was a noble one, Jonathan was a nobleman since the very beggining on Phantom Blood, and he married into the Pendleton family, which was aristocrat as well.
Speedwagon, meanwhile, got rich through oil businesses while Joseph himself got rich through real estate businesses. AND THEN Joseph inherited Speedwagon's wealth and the Foundation, becoming even richer.
That final rant feels so weird to watch now that the 3rd batch is out and it did have a new opening and even a very special version that doesn't have a skip button 👁👄👁
Yeah... really hammers home the saying, "don't count your chickens before they hatch"
lol.
I never skipped the opening anyways. But didn't notice the missing "skip" button.
"Why Jojo OPs matter"
Heaven's Falling Down: "Hold my pendant"
I still don't get why people hate Chase
its a absolute bop and I think it fits for the episode it started on
Jojo fans are silly and going "this doesn't FIT Jojo!!!" despite Jojo being known to change its identity and vibe often.
@@nuibaba280 yeah like look at Phantom blood's Jonathan than Araki's most RECENT illustration if him
DP actually skipped the intro a few times, too many by my estimation, and so CNBT felt like it was gone way too quickly. Really not a good way to start another OP.
@@nuibaba280 chase fits because it reflects Kira and josuke I dunno why people hate it
R/Usernamechecksout
Won’t ever tolerate Chase slander in my life. The hard tonal and stylistic shift is perfect for keying you into the deeper more sinister work at play and the direction of the part going forward, and the song fucking slaps.
Preach it fellow connoisseur
Just because it is different dosent mean it's bad. Imo chase is best op from part 4.
Fax
Personally for me I love the difference between Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town and Chase because you go from mostly light-hearted to hey we have to chase a serial killer.
I also love metal/darker music so I'm a little biased there as well.
For me I hated it a first, like I always liked rock music and harder rock but they style at he time and compared to the first op and the tone was not for me, with that said chase is now my favourite op as not only by skipping it and not listening to it on repeat like I did with the other ops well watching the show, I after finishing part 4 saw the tru purpose of it and why it is the way it is, it’s just so good. Also recommend searching up the acoustic version as it is very raw and emotionally charged and has been edit into a lot of the deaths of part 4 and it makes them so much more sad, like it really does and it made me love the son more
Chase is posible the best contrast in jojo op, you went for a slice of life, and the characters are loving it, but in that opening you see them make their life's while kira is doing his crazy moves
Ot85iu8
And then it goes back to positive(but more nuanced) in Great Days as it is about either moving on from or fixing what was broken before(Meaning the OP literally does not work without the prior ones), after which Great Days BTD portrays both the difficulties and emotional charge of finally bringing the conflict to a close. These 4 OPs are an entire emotional rollercoaster in the best way possible.
David Pro never intended it, but the 3D openings all go to the legitimate Joestars/descendants (Jonathan, Joseph, Jotaro, Jolyne), while the 2D openings are given to the illegitimate children (Josuke and Giorno). Maybe something similar will happen to Parts 7 and 8.
Fighting Gold isn't just my favorite JoJo opening, it's also my favorite song in anything ever. It didn't need to go so hard, but it did anyway because davidpro and CODA are absolute legends.
EDIT: The ending of this video aged more than Prosciutto's Stand.
Honestly i rll like traitors reqiuem with the diavolo time skip and added sfx.
@@neo4016 That one is really good too with the "hell no" lol
agreed
Its also written and composed by a cruel angels thesis writer and composer its so good
A Cruel Angel's Thesis walked so that Fighting Gold could run, LOL. -Not that Thesis is bad or anything, but Fighting Gold is way better IMO.-
I just LOVE the fact that when Kira cuts his nails in Chase, the visuals cut to Shigechi feeding the birds, then back to Kira cutting his nails exactly where Shigechis head was.
Thats some super sneaky foreshadowing, and i bloody love it!
Crazy how the same day this was released we got BLESSED with Heaven's Falling Down
I really pray that we'll get a new OP for Stone Ocean, if we don't, it'll just feel out of place. But I am very scared that we won't get a new one, let's hope homies. Let's hope.
I'm just praying for an MiH opening
Manga spoilers!!
I also kinda hope that for the last ep with the MiH opening, it gets interrupted by Emporio
@is_that_a_jojo_reference it won't make sense at all. sono chi no sadame is about the noble and valiant jonathan Joestar and the bravery he shows and the fate that his bloodline is tasked with, contrasting with the pure evil embodiment of ambition and desire dio is and that humanity has to be sacrificed. It won't make sense for that song to be an ending to stone ocean.
Daisuke Hasegawa and Karen Aoki have recorded a rap song together for the batch 3 OST. Let's hope they use that as the OP.
@@epRivera nah it'll make more sense if
SPOILERS
MIH Speeds up the opening so fast that opening starts again but than it just gets interrupted and gets shredded apart into an open space
I hope it too
"A gold experience, Made in heaven" What a good script. I loved it.
Having just watched Stone Ocean's last opening i legit cried watching this video and remembering my first time watching this series that I loved
I think one of the advantages Jojo openings have is that they are adapting parts that have already been finished for a while.
This allows the staff to have a clearer picture on the core of each part, and to know how the opening should best reflect that.
I wish my native language was English so I can use the phase "It was a gold experience made in heaven" to describe something amazing in a daily conversation😁
Just as well. You'd get blank stares from everyone in the room except that one guy that would start screaming "iS tHaT a MoTh3rF*Ng JoJo ReFeReNcE?!!1!". 😉😂
The only thing you've been missing, especially with part 3's opening, is the sheer motivation and sheer hype that just the OPENING has on the anime
It's seemingly underrated and not given enough attention, but seriously
The musical composition of End of the world, and stand proud, makes for perfect motivational music
Yeah man, this can especially be seen in some English covers of them.
@@CoolManCoolMan123 yeah! The jonathan young covers are amazing, and are even in my metal playlist
It’s very ironic that he says part 6 probably won’t have a new opening, only for the 3rd batch to have a new opening right away
Im glad to announce that there is a new opening and is a banger ✋😔🤚
I m sad that you did not wait for the new op :( it s a masterpiece(plus,this video aged like milk)
Well, that one specific part aged like a fine glass of milk. The rest of it is still valid tho. And yeah that new op absolutely slaps.
@@tanakisoup2246 its aight
he just keeps finding reasons to shit on stone ocean
@@0DRONZER ...and it's utterly frustrating me at this point.
@@0DRONZER :))) honestly,I didn t like Stone Ocean either..I mean,I liked everything until Bohemian Rhapsody..
It seems in Japan people also consider jojo as a big stand out from other mangas and animes thus it is treated as something special
I was always excited by the idea of what the final OP for part 6 would look like even before the anime was announced. MIH interrupting the opening has so much potential and it would be a HUGE missed opportunity if they don't have a new opening. I'm a bit more optimistic I just don't see how a new opening wouldn't exist when the final batch pretty much takes place in a different setting at this point, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous...
1 day worth of wait brother
@@genshinsbizzareadventures fuck yeah brother new op
@@gabrielg3866 it's fuckin amazing
@@artemissrijan473 damn right it is!
Admit it, JoJo is one of the greatest pieces of fiction with one of the greatest artstyle along with one of the greatest adaptation.
Literally the best thing to ever happen in my life!
Oh boy, "the greatest piece of fiction" of this series hasn't even arrived it.
@@pebbleboyshorts765 part 6 already came out so yes it has
Midjo
@@angler3131 Huh? You called Part 6 one of the greatest piece of fiction and them proceeded to call JoJo mid. How does that make sense?
Shame on you Angler from Terraria, you're literally from a game with JoJo references.
@@pebbleboyshorts765 average angler interaction
Their finale episode OP and Outro was definitely full of nostalgia to recap the whole series. Time to cope for SBR.
I love the references in the last Jojo opening Heaven's Falling down. I cried when I saw Jolyne Doing the Jonathan's Chad stride to fist of rage run :')
Honestly I get excited every time to see the opening of each JoJo season, it’s like the manga somehow came alive through the power of music and telling its story through sound and color.😺
I agree with this....In the future , for referring to a show , opening and endings are important and need to have some pzazz.
If they deny part 6 the new opening , its going to lose a good part of its identity. People dont always watch the entirety of a show when they miss it....they watch they openings to kind of reminisce or introduce it to other people. It's actively sabotaging itself doing this since ops are the one thing that gets viewed the most so its important to build the story thru them. Good video!
Here manifesting for a potential Stone Ocean op 2
Manifestation successful
@@artemissrijan473 the music is.. good
@@frantz48_The music is ok but goddamn the MIH version animation is just too damn good.
@@pebbleboyshorts765 that's true and the references carried a LOT. The Moment Jolyne and Pucci started flying with Blue and Orange Aura is also Jotaro and Dio's in Part 3 second opening.
@@frantz48_ the song is stuck in my head
if there isn't going to be a new opening for the final batch?
here's what I want to happen for the Made in Heaven version of the op...
Pucci speeding through every opening and then having it all come full circle back to Sono Chi No Sadame.
THAT WOULD BE FREAKIN' EPIC.
That would certainly make up for it if we don't get second op. Though also having What a Wonderful World as the ed would help too.
woooooooooooooooooo
You'll be happy about the one we got for sure, trust me.
Omg...You literally predicted it
Oh the ending for this is so fun since Heaven's Falling Down came out and like the rest of batch 3 blew expectations out of the park with how phenomenal it was.
SPOILERS (Just in case you are keeping up with Jojo Fridays)
The Made in Heaven Version going back and referencing Sono Chi No Sadame instead of replaying the OP was a stroke of genius too that made me stop ugly crying and just go slack jawed in SHOCK! Amazing, AMAZING OP!
I don’t know if it was intentional but in the background of Bloody stream you can see vines when Joseph is on screen Possibly foreshadowing Hermit Purple and I like that little Easter egg.
The 3D openings are absolutely gorgeous. As much as I enjoyed the openings in parts 4 & 5, it was a nice return to form to see the 3D again in Part 6.
They better change the OP for the final batch with MIH
Stone ocean's OP 3v2 went hard AF
yeah i watch this version quite often, JUST because of how good it is
Man, what a BANGER that Regular Show's opening was
JoJo OPs have something really special, not only they sort of tell the entire part if you pay enough atention (I'm looking at you Sono Chi No Sadame), but also the fact how they transform with the passing events (even including the final villain stand's ability into).
DIO stopping time and taking some sweet 9 seconds to walk around Jotaro is one of my favorite parts of Stardust Crusader's anime
"considering i'm right 99.7% of the time, there won't be a new jojo opening🤓🤓🤓"
Fr, the bitchy bitch he is about Stone Ocean lol
🤣🤣🤣
@@nickzx1082 yep he doesn't know 😂
THE NEW OPENING IS FIREEE
"Something must have happened behind the scene to cause netflix to bend" it did, it was Called Bandai namco, recently bandai namco released all star battle r and it missing a ton of stuff from stone ocean, pucci's c-moon, a stage, several costumes and weather report, all of which is being added back the same day as batch 3, its very likely namco who is a bigger company basically forced netflix to release batch three so they could release the content they ALREADY made and were holding back
I want to look into this and make a video about it. Something about the whole thing feels off
I doubt that. It seems more like Namco is just shoving itself where they can with the dates.
Man, his speculative rant on the direction Netflix would take with the last batch of SO aged like only the finest of.. milk.
chase is one of the best openings ive ever heard and i stand by that. it tells a story while also being an amazing song
Can't wait for the SBR anime where the only opening is about the race start in San Diego
vroom vroom brrr boom spsshhh vroom
Should’ve just waited till the final batch released lol
if you had just waited one day for the last batch to release ....
Personally, Chase is one of my favourites, ignoring the other openings' feel. I love the music, and especially how the intro starts, with its super thin lines and mostly grey shifted tone, which just makes its feel so crisp. I do understand why its so controversial, but I still love it
exactly !!
I'm happy that we not only got a new Opening and ending, but one with a variant that is the perfect farewell to this universe.
Very smart of you to post a video about jojo OPs just about when people are starting to search for the new OP on youtube
Most excellent work yet again, Shuckmeister. You demonstrate a masterful understanding of the art that is the Jojo OP
The sketchy sections in bloody Stream and Dio in the end of the world are just 👌
Just when I thought this would be a positive video for once, you pull the rug out from under us lol
You have to make a video on your opinion about the last opening and the sound effects of it….. 😭😭😭 I’m dying to know what you thought.
Oh boy were you wrong about Stone Ocean's last ending, and I'm glad you were. They really went all out.
One if my favorite videos you have done Shuck! Thanks so much dude. :) 💖
Imagine if the last opening is all the openings together like bits of pieces of each one ending with the most recent one
Bro can you share some of those psychic powers?
Chase is soo damn good.
I love all of these openings so much (maybe Chase not so much). They're all so different and so great both musically and visually. The details are just amazing! I personally like the 3D openings more, but all of them are great.
I could talk about each of them for a lot of time, like you here lol. Great video!
Great video, I hope you make an update talking about Stone Ocean's second opening!
This was a great watch. And thankfully you were wrong predicting the 3rd Stone Ocean batch being the same song, that new op was a banger.
You know at first I wasn’t sure about Heaven Falling down. But after seeing the 2nd version and listening a few more times it’s one of my favorites. Still sucks C-Moon just gets left out like that though…
This just reminded me to listen to these all amazing songs over again plus I love End of the World for what you mentioned and after hearing Chase in acoustic guitar I loved it way more than just the original one also would love to see a vid like this going over the ED's
I really hope there will be a brand new OP. I'm starting to think JoJo would have been better on Disney+.
Oh God no
If there's no Mickey, this s#!t ain't Disney!
jojo would be better without any western agency
the new op is fucking fire
@@cheems3625 Yeah it's awesome. All the callbacks insane
Part 6 has a second OP don't worry
I am very glad to say that your final statements on the potential lack of a new OP have aged like milk
No fix in first Blu ray release. Bg, bros we lose.
Is "Chase" the worst jojo op? Yes, the rest of the song, not in the actual opening, is just a bridge and another chorus. But does it fit the late 90's vibe and rocks hard? Hell yeah, you know it!
Wait chase fits tho
Chase fucking slaps what do you mean?
chase is the best op (im biased)
The final part 6 opening is the coolest imo; music wise, part 1 is the best and 2nd in terms of coolness.
Never in my life I was this glad for someone being wrong before
The new OP's so amazing
@@artemissrijan473 yeahh
26:24 "similar to this volume cover"
...I love how he doesn't even show the cover he's referencing. Nice work Shuck, great job.
This was brilliant, loved it!
🎵 LET THE VOICE OF LOVE TAKE YOU HIIIIGHEEEERRR~~ 🎵☝
HEAVENS FALLING DOWN
After watching Part six, I must say the third batch's opening definitely did not disappoint.
The final opening had me in tears🥲 It's so beautiful, and I'm glad I'm part of this beautiful yet very bizarre journey. Thank you Araki Sensei, thank you David Production, and thank you the OG Joestar Family 😭
26:39 if you look at the ending of the second batch opening, you can see Jolyne hugging Jotaro, but she's also getting on his back. One shared fear I have with you is that the opening will be the same with a slightly different ending, but doesn't it look like that Jolyne is getting on Jotaro's back to make that iconic manga cover pose? And will it appear at the slightly different ending of the third batch? Or will there be a new opening with that pose at the end to tie the string together?
How do you feel now my friend
22:18 nah he pissed me off with this one.
there’s no way you can actually believe that. did you listen to the instrumental? that shit is H E A V E N L Y.
i once saw a meme that went "if you don't like my at my Chase you don't deserve me at my Great Days"
Gladly, you were wrong, and we did get an AMAZING new opening, with the expected JoFoe interactions, as well as a special edition for the very ending. ;)
To think we wont get a new opening is like thinking that shuckmeister will actually enjoy stone ocean for once 😂
Chase actually makes sense, since DIU takes place in 1999 to pre 2000s, the era of punk/emo rock
I like this channel because he has the courage to speak his mind and the explanations to build his opinion.
But I am happy to see his last theory being wrong, something I also expected, last batch to have the same OP. I am glad Heaven's Falling Down exists and love the opening, hope we will see a video on it in the future.
i love how the second op fro part 6 start how the first one ends really makes it one of my favorites
7:42 Johnny is just sitting in the corner crying rn
I was too focused on the video that I almost didn't understand what is your comment about.
The Pirate Rap is a masterpiece.
I loved the video nice one
Your observation skills are on point
thank fuck you're wrong about the batch 3 OP, Heaven's Falling Down is an absolute banger
Just saw the final op and ITS MADE IN HEAVEN
The first time I hear Sono chi no Kioku I pogged abit, the Jo Stars, all the previous artists was just so cool. Then again the final version of it with DIO attacking the stairs and attacking Jotaro was amazing. Also Chase may be my favorite for the song. If I'm taking visuals into account then maybe Traitors requiem
Glad you were wrong about the 3rd batch OP. I think the variation is the best we've gotten!
a good opening will keep me watching a story and might even inflate just how much i like the show itself. while ive enjoyed what ive watched so far for sure (mostly), kick back alone has kept me obsessed with chainsaw man to where i ended up buying a shirt while i was dragged out black friday shopping the other day. and thats before mentioning chainsaw blood or tablet or any other stand out ending (thank you mappa for 12 endings i really hope it was worth your money to make it happen).
as someone that still enjoys stone ocean's op, albeit in the bottom third, no new opening for batch 2 was such a bruh moment that i flat out expected a fanmade second opening given jojo's reputation. if SBR got a really good fanmade opening, i feel we will get them down the line. and i'm a fairly recent jojo fan too, only having been watching it since last december, and the openings still have the grab to new viewers they did during their original releases. even the ones i didnt really like at first grew on me. i was watching with a friend who got me into it, so we did skip openings for time purposes sometimes, but it always hurt to do so.
the openings are the one thing we all (jojo fans, part skippers, non jojo fans) had in common, and they just took it from us
I remember watching this the day after it came out, the day i caught COVID, and being pleasantly suprised when i saw Heaven's Falling Down. I binged the whole batch after that, and was then surprised seeing V2.
I strongly disagree about Traitor's Requiem being instrumentally "weaker." It's my favorite along with Great Days & Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town. And I'm someone who listens to a lot of metal, rock & fusion music so yeah. But this video is 10/10 high quality content nontheless. I'm legit gonna be heartbroken if we don't get 2nd OP track for Stone Ocean.
Using Stone Ocean again for the last patch would be so stupid.
They aren't even in Green Dolphin anymore!
still, the first 2 Stone Ocean OPs are the best
@@rmf99frr there's no a second opening for stone ocean...
@@ABC-ik9vj there are
I thought the EDM Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town version was for episodes where Koichi was the Main Character
Good thing we got a new opening in batch 3
"... it's a joy beyond none other, a gold experience, that is made in heaven" i had to pause the video cuz i just couldnt fucking believe it, so great!
