31:30 So the reason Fugo leaves halfway during part 5 is because Araki planned at the beginning of the part to have Fugo be a traitor spying on Bruno and betraying the group But Araki became too attached to the character, and thought it was too sad for him to betray his friends, so he just made him leave the group instead (also his stand was way too OP and could just wipe any ennemy easily)
He was attached yes but Araki was going through some mental health problems and said in an interview that he didn’t have the strength to write a betrayal of such a close friend.
Lowkey the main reason why I love JoJo as a whole, it's just so much of the author in these stories, and somehow each one is wildly different from the others.
We accept your apology, Alicia. We've actually forgiven you long ago. We just hope you and everyone else can witness the end of this masterpiece of a show.
He is still relatively young and nothing says he isn't planning to give it to someone's else. And 9 doesn't feel like part he would end it at. I would say 10 may be the one where we finish second storyline.
@@mjm3091 Relatively young? He may look like he is still 30, but ultimately he is in his 60's (turned 64 recently) working as a mangaka, which is an industry known to have people die early. Akira Toriyama was only 4 years older when he passed, and he was not as active as a mangaka before then as Araki is now. Ignoring health scares, SBR went on for a little over 7 years, and JoJolion for 10. If JoJoLands will be of similar length, then Araki will be from either 70 or up to 73 when JJL is finished. He deserves to retire at that point. Also, the last two parts incorporated aspects from part 1 and 2, (SBR) aswell as 3 and 4 (JoJolion). JJL so far seems to incorporate 5 and 6, so this would be an appropriate part to end it on. Part 10 is possible, but considering all of the factors, I think Part 9 has to be the finale

A detail I love about Great Days, is that in the BtD version Hayatos expression changes. In the normal version he looks sad/depressed, but in the BtD versions it changes to one of determination to show how he’s fighting to stop the time loop. It’s in the same vein as Jotaros finger twitching in End of The World, where it’s so blink and you miss it that it’s amazing.
Great Days is a great opening. It makes sense when played straight and also in reverse. If you look at it in reverse. The jojos get pulled into Bites the dust, and get Jojo Golden heart explodes many times. We clearly see Kira not having to care anymore, turning his back and seeing the word "Killer" on the ground. The 1999 rolls back, as in back in time. We see The feet stand, then the enigma stand, then the electric tower stand and kira's father in the numbers, as in we fought them. And even if we get pulled into the darkness, we still point at,the sky. And then what you said, Hayato seems determined, Killer Queen pulls back, Kosaku leaves the picture and the mother leans back as if left eternally to wait for the man she just learned to love. (Kosaku even appears on a TV as if it was a missing person) Rohan's looping in time. And while we all kind of went in our own separate ways, with Josuke, we all find our way back to Justice. The one thing that might be me reaching for meaning, its when the rewind pulls the camer from the heavens down to the Jojo's and I was thinking that could be an okuyasu reference?
I think the Jotaro finger twitch is quite different from a “blink and you’ll miss it” because you’d have to slow down the footage and zoom in to even notice it
Fun fact: fugo was originally going to be a traitor of the group, but because araki was dealing with depression, the idea of his favorite character double crossing the group bummed him the fuck out and he ended up just having him walk away
I think it ended up working with his character though. Since Fugo is the smart one who's constantly trying to control his emotions. I can't think of another show where a main character realizes they're making an emotional instead of logical decision and just leaves the story cause they don't want to die.
Remember, it was Part 4 when Alicia ascended the throne to become the Rat Queen. 🫡🐀 Also, ANT going to war with that Baby in part 3 was one of the key high points.
3:37 well, you gotta climb your way to fight Dio, and all Dio wants its to be at the top of everything. Its funny that Pucci Stand used to be called "stairway to heaven" at one point
much love for Savage Garden, the original band that recorded the part 4 outro "I Want You". lead vocalist Darren Hayes is actually a lowkey Jojo fan, and was delighted to see the song featured in part 4. Araki also shouted out Savage Garden by name in the manga, as it's the name of the trained pigeon that delivers Jotaro's disc to the Speedwagon Foundation in part 6. they didn't record too many albums as Savage Garden, sadly, as Darren Hayes shifted to a solo career after two albums, but I'd definitely check out the music. both albums are peak 90s nostalgia for me. "Affirmation" is a particularly beautiful track
@@Scionmaster And by that time we would prob have a part 10 or 11 of the manga cause' we both know JoJo is just as immortal as it's author (no for real bro has not aged a fucking day he knows hamon)
Fun Fact: Araki was once asked “What happened to Kira at the end of Part 4?” To answer the question, Araki wrote “Deadman’s Questions”, where it shows Kira as a spirit who doesn’t know what he did in his past life killing people like his previous self: serial killers. It’s pretty cool showing Kira sort of atoning for his actions in a life he didn’t know, as he doesn’t have any of his memories as previously mentioned
God, that final opening for part 6 is so fucking legendary. My favorite part about it is that it was foreshadowed in the part 1 opening (Jolyne is the last Jojo shown).
47:20 Funny you should say that, Ant. There's no canonical answer, but a non-canon Light Novel called Jorge Joestar does feature the scenario you are describing. And if you think CANON JoJo's is bizarre, it's got nothing on Jorge Joestar. The best way I can describe it is 'unhinged'. It, uh... it's one hell of a ride. Also, don't read it. It has spoilers for Part 7.
There is a cannonical answer and the answer is yes: he’s still in space, universe got reset but nothing changed except pucci not existing, everything before part 6 happened exactly as previous parts showed. we see this in the cannon spin-off Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan in Hot Summer Martha as (the same part 4) Rohan is still alive in 2023
araki originally wanted panacotta fugo to be a traitor and return as an enemy of the gang, araki later decided to just remove him from the story due to both his mental state and not wanting that to happen to the character. However fugo does have a partial redemption arc which delves into his character in a light novel called purple haze feedback set after the events of part 5.
Funfacts: The 1st opening is a single building with stairs and the camera just rotate and goes up and on, it never leaves the buildimg, also, there are scenes where they show up all the jojos from different seasons (the jojofamily) The 4th opening is so cool because is song by all of the other 3 singers from the first 3 openings together in a collab
"Is Kars still in space?" yes Pucci reset the universe once and brought everyone around around where part 6 began, that means that for a BRIEF moment, kars experienced being back on earth...only to be yanked away from space again by someone that LOOKS like Joseph but wasnt in that same moment, and finds himself still floating in space...he prob hasn't processed that though because he literally just stopped himself from thinking after a few years
At the end of Part 6, Parts 1-5 still happen as normal, but the only difference is Pucci never existed, and the characters in the group who died during were given new and better lives.
@@wingedbluj1674 yes, but we are talking about pucci's new universe that was destroyed by Emporio killing him, since that's the universe they were talking about
I love how the first opening has a rewind of panels from the comic starting from Jolyne and rewinding all the way to Johnathan, hinting at the epic saga viewers are about to delve into. Several of the openings show the progress through the family lineage as we go. And then the final variant of the last OP again has comic panels starting with Johnathan and progressing through the moments in the saga that we have now all experienced for ourselves, starting from Johnathan back to Jolyne, leading up to the climactic showdown that the series has been building towards. It is such a great detail that ties the whole series together.
AAAAAANTTTT!!! So happy to hear him again🎉 Sorry this'll be(come) a long comment😅 1. did you guys notice that the scene of the nail clippers 16:30 lines up with Shigechi's neck? That's some serious foreshadowing. 2. Regarding Fugo leaving the team, Araki planned to have him be a traitor to the gang and Giorno would have to fight him (being immune to his stand's virus). Araki thought it was too sad having the mc kill a friend and just left Fugo out of the story afterwards.
It's honestly crazy to think that it's been a year and a half from that first openings reaction. It was such a fun journey. You two gave me so much joy. It really became a part of my daily schedule haha. Time sure flies when you're having a time so good it was Made In Heaven
The last reaction of heaven's falling down was really emotional for me because not only was it the last JoJo's episode with the part 6 crew, but also the last episode in th old universe... And also the fact that they all died in episode 37 but still...
Honestly so glad to see how much you love this series. It makes watching your reachtions thousand times more enjoyable. No need for apology, you are forever in the army of Jojo fans, you made enough Jojo references during your other videos to deserve it))
I'm so glad Alicia did this cause a while ago I thought about her thoughts on the current openings now that she's watched the show and got their vibes, but CCs never really make a redo reaction video after watching the shows. (Also part 7 and 8 fanmade opening reactions??👀)
1) First Jojo openings reaction with Ant. 2) Jojo openings tier list with her fiance. 3) Jojo openings reaction...as apology. Yep, Jojo stan right here.
Don't worry, we get it, we've all been through this, we've watched all of Jojo's and now there's a Jojo's shaped hole in our Jojo's shaped heart which nothing can fill except with more Jojo's, so we can't shut up about it and keep going back to revisit stuff desperate for more.
I just reealised that the moment Dio interrupts the last opening for part 3, it's the moment the singer says "end of the woooooorld"... so they actually planned the lyrics for Dio to interrupt.
Have faith brothers! According to what is usual ( 2 years until a new part be announced), it is possible that this year we will have the announcement of the great part 7!
You know, Alicia? Back then when I really hate reaction videos until I found you reacting on Genshin Demos (when it was boom). Since Genshin is fine with reacting to their contents so I'm fine with it, then my viewpoint changed since I enjoy watching someone enjoy things I also like. With you being a movie nerd and quite being expert at that I really enjoy watching you point out the choreography, animation techniques and movie thingies (and your cry XD ). And then you drop the JoJo bomb... Oh yeah I'm in! Subbed since then! It was always a good time I spent watching you and your friends, Alicia.
The genuine reaction for the reverse OP during the penultimate episodes of part 4 was the exact justification I had in my head when you guys started skipping openings left and right.
I won't spoil the surprise itself. But part 8 has another location that is treated as a character. So hold out until it gets an anime it might be able to match part 4 for ya Ant. But I agree that Morio was the best character of part 4 in that I did not expect it to be one and it was an awesome one.
36:32 hey, speaking of which, if you are craving more Jojo content, Viva Reverie made a video called "Giorno explains King Crimson" where she has Giorno doing a TED Talk about how it works. Its not really about explaining it though, as honestly, its just makes it more confusing when you consider the details, but whats funny as heck is Giorno debating with Rohan, Koichi and Polnareff about how it works lol.
I find it really sad not many reactors catch the alternative op1 for part 6, even the compilation video skips it. It doesn't change much, but in the end Jolyne is seen worrying about her father instead of holding the prison bars
You're the best in the whole Za-WALDO. I am mostly into Jojo's bizarre adventure memes, thus is the reason why Golden Wind is my fav because there are so many crazy moments from that version of Jojo with the Dance on the Boat to the Doppio talking on the phone with frog. Mistaking some random person as an enemy, with the 3rd guy sipping his coffee before joining in. And then there is the younger guy who's tongue was controlled and the stuff he said while in the toilet. So many out of context moments.
Huge shout out to the GOAT and homie ANT being here! Having been here with you and Alicia through all of jojos it was something special and its so nostalgic seeing you both react to the openings again. ❤
I kinda wished they checked the openings in more details since there are quite a lot of things to pick up on once you have seen the series. But it is nice that they did check the openings again haha
my favourite detail in the rewind version of the great days opening is that at the end it loops at Rohan's part 3 times because of how he's affected by bites the dust and blows up twice
31:30 I agree, they absolutely did Fugo dirty in the anime. There were actually a lot of behind the scenes reasons for that. Originally, Araki had intended for Fugo to betray the group, but at the time he was going through a depressive episode and couldn't go through with it. Which is why Fugo has gotten two novelizations outside of the orignial manga/anime. The first is Golden Heart, Golden Ring where he saves the crew from an assassin sent by the boss and the other is Purple Haze Feedback, where Giorno reconnects with Fugo and recruits him after he becomes the boss at the end of part 5. Neither were written by Araki so they aren't technically canon, but they are both definitely worth the read and give Fugo a much better ending than the manga or anime did. Also Purple Haze Feedback does have a free audiobook on TH-cam if you don't want to have to read.
6:34 You would not believe the amount of people who reacted to the openings who also thought Ceasar was Dio, usually also accompanied by them thinking that Joseph was still Jonathan. Or maybe you can, seeing how you were among them at one point, lol 21:20 I think Part 4 was the part of Jojo's where Araki really found his footing in where he wanted to go with the series, too 25:25 The cool part about 'Breakdown' is that the reverse opening is *actually* the second half of the full song
I watched like 20 people watch jojo opensings and I JUST know noticed 19:36 you can see the alien dude here 20:06 this is the stands icons you can see act 3 and the hand 20:10 and you can see the souls of the dead people in the clouds when they turn to dust i watched like every jojo openings reaction on youtube ( it's fun) and now I feel like I missed so much more in other openings cause this is cool
This was a great bit of nostalgia, wish we could have Ant join for another series or at least part 7 when it finally gets animated. He's the most entertaining out of all the collab people!
I dont know if anyone will mention it, but at 9:04 the read and black weird animation is actually Dio hijacking Jonathan Joestars body and you can sorta see it in some angles
okay something really fucked up that my friend pointed out to me, in this opening, around 10:51, if you watch it in super slow speed jotaro's finger actually twitches like against dio, and when I heard that for the first time I thought he was gaslighting me but when I tried it I actually screamed
Pretty sure with the reset its confirmed tho idk where but parts 1-5 still happened so diavolo is in his loop and kars is in space its just that since pucci got erased from existence cuz he died that dio wouldve never met him therefore the main events of part 6 would never happen so jolyne is never fated to fight anyone unlike her other family members
Like even if it´s in form of an apology. watching your retrospetive reaction and comparing them now that you are a fan was super fun to watch!. I hope in the future, once you get caugth to one piece we can have that same treatment! And no worries! apologies accepted! you did no harm!
Good ol Jojo binge, I was low key getting worried for you two since a lot was going on and mood was bottoming out, but been enjoying a lot more reactions since and good to hear from Ant again.
Now we need a compilation video where It first shows your FIRST ever reaction to an opening it show's the highlights of your reactions to the opening as the show went on and the last one with all of the context of that part it shows this final reaction to the opening with context to the entire Jojo storyline (since the non anime adapted jojo continues from a new universe) and it does that for EVERY opening just one long video where you see natural progression
Part 4 being a mix of slice of life, murder mystery and horror is what really makes it stand out to me. And a lot of it just feels like the author was having fun writing it without forcing himself to follow a shonen formula.
I remember seeing some comments about the fact that the compilation you watched was AI "enhanced" to 4k 60fps and taking that opportunity to recommend Noodle's channel and his video "Smoother animation =/= Better animation" and optionnaly his followup about it I really believe you will like his content and would love to see you react and comment about the topics on his channel!
My one issue with that video is that one of the examples he used was one where it was the original animator trying out the technology for himself and being satisfied with the results. (Which is partially why I think interpolation is a nuanced topic, the video in question was Lego stop-motion, which plays into the "this technology was designed for live photography not animation" angle he kept mentioning. For all intents and purposes, stop-motion is the ultimate example of saving time with interpolation.)
30:00 you should reconsider your stance about Dragon's dream, the feng shui stand. I dont see the issues myself, as I think it fits well with the theme of part 6 which is having to deal with things outside of your control. Most enemy stands in the prison are just puppets to stands the cant control, given by Pucci. Its part of the greater theme about "giving in to destiny and accepting your fate VS fighting against it as long as its the right thing to do" A luck based stand is cool though, and the interactions with the dragon were funny. It followed luck+fate rules and as long as you didnt get ahead of yourself and knew how to handle it, you were good. Then it gives us the irony that the old man was the one who ended too ahead of himself and died to his own stand lol. The old man is funny and creepy too, and it had a IRL reference (Jonestown) so bonus points for the history lesson in that, and for the culture lesson with the Feng shui thing and Jolyne teaching us all the ways to flip off someone around the world.
One thing i love about the scene where Polnareff keeps getting put back to the bottom of the stairs is that dio was actively stopping time and carrying him back down and then go back up himself
And the depression binge is real. I haven't been doing it lately, but for the last year I've had periods where I'd watch an entire series in one sitting; sometimes more than one series in a day. For what it's worth I - a random person who is too chronically unemployed to support anyone on Patreon - am glad you're still here.
Okay in defense of Koichi in Part 5 not helping Giorno & Polneriff, Jotaro only sent him there to evaluate whether or not Giorno should be considered a threat due to his direct lineage to Dio. Polneriff was there on his own separate mission regarding the arrow and probably neglected to relay any information he picked up to Jotaro on account of him not wanting Diavolo to find him right away and put his whole plan into turmoil. Him getting swapped with the turtle due to Silver Chariot Requiem's shifter ability though....yeah there's no defending that XD
Caesar confusion is understandable given that for him Joseph Araki literally just traced Jonathan and Dio. He needed recognizable faces so people would get hooked. Its entirely intentional.
"This is where the poses started coming out" a lot of people say Jojo "found its identity" in part 3 but i myself argue that it found its identity and character stylization in part 2, with part 3 being where it found its power system identity and truely got comfortable with its already established identity in part 2
47:18 IT'S NOT A SPOILER, the next parts will not be set in the same universe, but i can say to you that Kars is still in space and nothing leading to part 6 has changed at all, all of the events already happened, the only change is that the people that died before the universe reset are now reborn because of the death of Pucci, and what that means is that Jotaro and Jolyne are free from the Joestar curse that was put on the family for generations, hence why Jolyne is not a JoJo after her new name is Irene
"Nothing can top my love for part 4" You never know till you try it ant! ((When i was Anime Only, my favourite part was part 2, then part 4 grew on me the longer i watched it and remained my favourite part, i got sick of waiting for stone ocean and decided "fuck it ill just read the manga" and enjoyed it...and then i read part 7, legitimately one of the best media ive ever consumed and it knocked part 4 to the Number 2 spot, i still feel like its the best out of the original timeline/anime)) Im curious if yall will wait till it gets animated or react to a fandub of it (theres a lot)
Yeah Araki had depression during part 5 and had Fugo leave the group. He was originally supposed to be a spy in the group, and his backstory in the manga was more villainous. In the Anime they tweaked his backstory slightly to make him more of a victim instead, as he was no longer planned to be a spy.
31:40 Fugo was originally gonna betray Bucciarati, but Araki was depressed at the time and didn't want to have him killed, so he just wrote him out. He later got his own spinoff light novel tho
37:00 The best explanation I've ever heard for King Crimson and GER is that KC is him hitting the lag switch on reality, while GER is him making you experience packet loss.
Out of all the openings, I love part 3's more where before The World's ability is revealed, the last part just cuts to Dio suddenly being behind Jotaro but after its revealed it shows Dio actually going towards Jotaro and posing, showing us whats been happening behind the scenes
For Part 3, there’s a 3rd and final version, where if you pay SUPER CLOSE ATTENTION, beginning the stairs, you can see The World’s arms crushing the planks, then the foreshadowings after will have silhouettes of DIO, The World, and Star Platinum in certain respective scenes If you can find it, you’ll be able to see them, or play the final episode of Part 3 and don’t skip the intro PS. You also skipped Part 6’s first opening 2nd ver
You missed the first stone ocean op variation! when instead of Jolyne walking away from Jotaro (and grabbing the jail cell) she stops and turns to Jotaro then hugs him ;-;
Also, almost no one reacts to it as the big opening compilation videos dont feature it, but there is actually a 2nd version to the 1st opening of part 6 "Stone Ocean" (Dont stop beating em up). In that one, its almost the same, but at the end, instead of Jolyne leaning against the prison bars and giving her back to Jotaro, she turns around the other way and leans her head on Jotaro's back with a concerned expression but we dont see his face. She hugs Jotaro from behind and then we see the same aerial shot from the prison, but this time with the raining frogs and "Savage Garden", the pigeon sent into retrieve Jotaro's Memory disc from prison.
31:20 fugo was so sad, araki was planning to bring him back to betray the boys, but a close friend of his betrayed him in real life at the time and he couldn't bring himself to write it and replaced it with the green day fight. There is a fan made book that would honestly be worth reading called "Purple Haze Feedback" or "Shameless Purple Haze" that concludes his character and Araki himself considers it defacto cannon, he even let the author make an official spin off manga with hol horse and Josuke

Remember: Koichi being stanced up without his Stand is how everyone without a Stand sees Stand battles 😂
31:30 So the reason Fugo leaves halfway during part 5 is because Araki planned at the beginning of the part to have Fugo be a traitor spying on Bruno and betraying the group
But Araki became too attached to the character, and thought it was too sad for him to betray his friends, so he just made him leave the group instead (also his stand was way too OP and could just wipe any ennemy easily)
He was attached yes but Araki was going through some mental health problems and said in an interview that he didn’t have the strength to write a betrayal of such a close friend.
At least he got some justice in Purple Haze Feedback.
They also tweaked his backstory in the anime a bit so show him more as a victim instead of a villainous character.

Can't wait for Alicia and Ant to react to JoJo part 7 coming out in like . . . fuck idk 2027 that shit is gonna take a while 😭
I want to see her react to Jojolion in 2035
@@owenbridgers And the Jojolands in 2050 💀
@@Scionmaster And by that time we would prob have a part 10 or 11 of the manga cause' we both know JoJo is just as immortal as it's author
(no for real bro has not aged a fucking day he knows hamon)
Have faith brothers! it is possible that this year we will have the announcement of the great part 7!
probably next year if you asked me - likely coming out in multiple cours and seasons, as both part 7 and 8 are longer than any other part before
Fun Fact:
Araki was once asked “What happened to Kira at the end of Part 4?”
To answer the question, Araki wrote “Deadman’s Questions”, where it shows Kira as a spirit who doesn’t know what he did in his past life killing people like his previous self: serial killers. It’s pretty cool showing Kira sort of atoning for his actions in a life he didn’t know, as he doesn’t have any of his memories as previously mentioned
he deserves to suffer as much as diavolo, rare araki L
the moment alicia switched from "heh wow they're all bands and stuff huh" to "NOOO NOT MY BABIIIEEES!!!" is when we officially knew
God, that final opening for part 6 is so fucking legendary. My favorite part about it is that it was foreshadowed in the part 1 opening (Jolyne is the last Jojo shown).
47:20 Funny you should say that, Ant. There's no canonical answer, but a non-canon Light Novel called Jorge Joestar does feature the scenario you are describing. And if you think CANON JoJo's is bizarre, it's got nothing on Jorge Joestar. The best way I can describe it is 'unhinged'. It, uh... it's one hell of a ride.
Also, don't read it. It has spoilers for Part 7.
There is a cannonical answer and the answer is yes: he’s still in space, universe got reset but nothing changed except pucci not existing, everything before part 6 happened exactly as previous parts showed. we see this in the cannon spin-off Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan in Hot Summer Martha as (the same part 4) Rohan is still alive in 2023
What rhymes with Kars again?
@@firepuppies4086 Bars? Mars? Idk?
You have no idea just how many JoJo OP reactions I have binged. One repeat won't shunt me away from it.
araki originally wanted panacotta fugo to be a traitor and return as an enemy of the gang, araki later decided to just remove him from the story due to both his mental state and not wanting that to happen to the character. However fugo does have a partial redemption arc which delves into his character in a light novel called purple haze feedback set after the events of part 5.
Funfacts:
The 1st opening is a single building with stairs and the camera just rotate and goes up and on, it never leaves the buildimg, also, there are scenes where they show up all the jojos from different seasons (the jojofamily)
The 4th opening is so cool because is song by all of the other 3 singers from the first 3 openings together in a collab
“What is with dio and stairs?” he likes to be taller
He exists for being dramatic
You mean he likes to be on top? :3
"Is Kars still in space?"
yes
Pucci reset the universe once and brought everyone around around where part 6 began, that means that for a BRIEF moment, kars experienced being back on earth...only to be yanked away from space again by someone that LOOKS like Joseph but wasnt in that same moment, and finds himself still floating in space...he prob hasn't processed that though because he literally just stopped himself from thinking after a few years
I like to think Kars et al were all reset into somehow becoming part of the rock people
At the end of Part 6, Parts 1-5 still happen as normal, but the only difference is Pucci never existed, and the characters in the group who died during were given new and better lives.
@@wingedbluj1674 yes, but we are talking about pucci's new universe that was destroyed by Emporio killing him, since that's the universe they were talking about
Jorge joestar would like to disagree lol
@@niconicokms1424 It is not canon to the actual Jojo timeline though
Wait no way I literally just restarted watching your jojo’s binge, i just got back to the start of part 3!
Oh this is definitely made in heaven.
I love how the first opening has a rewind of panels from the comic starting from Jolyne and rewinding all the way to Johnathan, hinting at the epic saga viewers are about to delve into. Several of the openings show the progress through the family lineage as we go. And then the final variant of the last OP again has comic panels starting with Johnathan and progressing through the moments in the saga that we have now all experienced for ourselves, starting from Johnathan back to Jolyne, leading up to the climactic showdown that the series has been building towards. It is such a great detail that ties the whole series together.
AAAAAANTTTT!!! So happy to hear him again🎉
Sorry this'll be(come) a long comment😅
1. did you guys notice that the scene of the nail clippers 16:30 lines up with Shigechi's neck? That's some serious foreshadowing.
2. Regarding Fugo leaving the team, Araki planned to have him be a traitor to the gang and Giorno would have to fight him (being immune to his stand's virus). Araki thought it was too sad having the mc kill a friend and just left Fugo out of the story afterwards.
That original vid is what got me watching your content 😂
It's honestly crazy to think that it's been a year and a half from that first openings reaction. It was such a fun journey. You two gave me so much joy. It really became a part of my daily schedule haha.
Time sure flies when you're having a time so good it was Made In Heaven
The last reaction of heaven's falling down was really emotional for me because not only was it the last JoJo's episode with the part 6 crew, but also the last episode in th old universe... And also the fact that they all died in episode 37 but still...
Honestly so glad to see how much you love this series. It makes watching your reachtions thousand times more enjoyable. No need for apology, you are forever in the army of Jojo fans, you made enough Jojo references during your other videos to deserve it))
I'm so glad Alicia did this cause a while ago I thought about her thoughts on the current openings now that she's watched the show and got their vibes, but CCs never really make a redo reaction video after watching the shows.
(Also part 7 and 8 fanmade opening reactions??👀)
Its so good to see you both being positive about JoJo
“Mista got shot by his own gun half the time!”
HALF?!? How dare you assume Mista does anything half-cocked. 😂
1) First Jojo openings reaction with Ant.
2) Jojo openings tier list with her fiance.
3) Jojo openings reaction...as apology.
Yep, Jojo stan right here.
man reliving all this while having good ol Ant with us again was such a blast, I remember watching all of these as they came out was such a good time
Don't worry, we get it, we've all been through this, we've watched all of Jojo's and now there's a Jojo's shaped hole in our Jojo's shaped heart which nothing can fill except with more Jojo's, so we can't shut up about it and keep going back to revisit stuff desperate for more.
I saw the original video a week ago, so this feels like perfect timing and very cathartic 😌 we accept your apology
Just so you know JJBA Part 6 but really fast is coming
I just reealised that the moment Dio interrupts the last opening for part 3, it's the moment the singer says "end of the woooooorld"... so they actually planned the lyrics for Dio to interrupt.
The one that really got me was the Part 6 change up when Star Platinum got confused when Pucci made time continue.
The start of this video is just "I have made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgement" While holding a Ukulele
Can't wait in 2025 of you reacting to part 7
bro let's be honest, that shit ain't coming out until like 2027 or so 😭
Part 7 gonna go hard
speen...
murica...
honse...
Not comin in 2025
@@KingsBardlmao the translate option is horrifying
Have faith brothers! According to what is usual ( 2 years until a new part be announced), it is possible that this year we will have the announcement of the great part 7!
You know, Alicia? Back then when I really hate reaction videos until I found you reacting on Genshin Demos (when it was boom). Since Genshin is fine with reacting to their contents so I'm fine with it, then my viewpoint changed since I enjoy watching someone enjoy things I also like. With you being a movie nerd and quite being expert at that I really enjoy watching you point out the choreography, animation techniques and movie thingies (and your cry XD ). And then you drop the JoJo bomb... Oh yeah I'm in! Subbed since then!
It was always a good time I spent watching you and your friends, Alicia.
The genuine reaction for the reverse OP during the penultimate episodes of part 4 was the exact justification I had in my head when you guys started skipping openings left and right.
I won't spoil the surprise itself.
But part 8 has another location that is treated as a character.
So hold out until it gets an anime it might be able to match part 4 for ya Ant.
But I agree that Morio was the best character of part 4 in that I did not expect it to be one and it was an awesome one.
I Started watching your videos because of that OP reaction
It would be cool if you have the compilation of your first time reaction for the variants tho, the shockness is essentially what we're looking for
20:21
lmao wait until you actually see it, you'll probably change your mind. Steel Ball Run is phenomenal
I don't know if you guys noticed, but Dio stopped time for exactly 9 seconds in the part 3 OP 2 special version
36:32 hey, speaking of which, if you are craving more Jojo content, Viva Reverie made a video called "Giorno explains King Crimson" where she has Giorno doing a TED Talk about how it works.
Its not really about explaining it though, as honestly, its just makes it more confusing when you consider the details, but whats funny as heck is Giorno debating with Rohan, Koichi and Polnareff about how it works lol.
I find it really sad not many reactors catch the alternative op1 for part 6, even the compilation video skips it.
It doesn't change much, but in the end Jolyne is seen worrying about her father instead of holding the prison bars
You're the best in the whole Za-WALDO.
I am mostly into Jojo's bizarre adventure memes, thus is the reason why Golden Wind is my fav because there are so many crazy moments from that version of Jojo with the Dance on the Boat to the Doppio talking on the phone with frog.
Mistaking some random person as an enemy, with the 3rd guy sipping his coffee before joining in.
And then there is the younger guy who's tongue was controlled and the stuff he said while in the toilet.
So many out of context moments.
Huge shout out to the GOAT and homie ANT being here! Having been here with you and Alicia through all of jojos it was something special and its so nostalgic seeing you both react to the openings again. ❤
I kinda wished they checked the openings in more details since there are quite a lot of things to pick up on once you have seen the series. But it is nice that they did check the openings again haha
my favourite detail in the rewind version of the great days opening is that at the end it loops at Rohan's part 3 times because of how he's affected by bites the dust and blows up twice
Maybe Dio wants to instill this fear of stairs to his enemies as like Dio, they're always up to something.
that video is how i discovered your channel & have been a patron for most of the time since
31:30 I agree, they absolutely did Fugo dirty in the anime. There were actually a lot of behind the scenes reasons for that. Originally, Araki had intended for Fugo to betray the group, but at the time he was going through a depressive episode and couldn't go through with it. Which is why Fugo has gotten two novelizations outside of the orignial manga/anime. The first is Golden Heart, Golden Ring where he saves the crew from an assassin sent by the boss and the other is Purple Haze Feedback, where Giorno reconnects with Fugo and recruits him after he becomes the boss at the end of part 5. Neither were written by Araki so they aren't technically canon, but they are both definitely worth the read and give Fugo a much better ending than the manga or anime did. Also Purple Haze Feedback does have a free audiobook on TH-cam if you don't want to have to read.
6:34 You would not believe the amount of people who reacted to the openings who also thought Ceasar was Dio, usually also accompanied by them thinking that Joseph was still Jonathan. Or maybe you can, seeing how you were among them at one point, lol
21:20 I think Part 4 was the part of Jojo's where Araki really found his footing in where he wanted to go with the series, too
25:25 The cool part about 'Breakdown' is that the reverse opening is *actually* the second half of the full song
I watched like 20 people watch jojo opensings and I JUST know noticed
19:36 you can see the alien dude here
20:06 this is the stands icons you can see act 3 and the hand
20:10 and you can see the souls of the dead people in the clouds when they turn to dust i watched like every jojo openings reaction on youtube ( it's fun) and now I feel like I missed so much more in other openings cause this is cool
Girl does an apology version because she messed up the frist time...only to mess up again. Oof.
This was a great bit of nostalgia, wish we could have Ant join for another series or at least part 7 when it finally gets animated. He's the most entertaining out of all the collab people!
I dont know if anyone will mention it, but at 9:04 the read and black weird animation is actually Dio hijacking Jonathan Joestars body and you can sorta see it in some angles
YAYYYY ALICIA GIRLLL YOU GOT ME INTO ONE PIECE AND NOW I'M FULLY CAUGHT UP, also HI ANT!!!
okay something really fucked up that my friend pointed out to me, in this opening, around 10:51, if you watch it in super slow speed jotaro's finger actually twitches like against dio, and when I heard that for the first time I thought he was gaslighting me but when I tried it I actually screamed
Pretty sure with the reset its confirmed tho idk where but parts 1-5 still happened so diavolo is in his loop and kars is in space its just that since pucci got erased from existence cuz he died that dio wouldve never met him therefore the main events of part 6 would never happen so jolyne is never fated to fight anyone unlike her other family members
Like even if it´s in form of an apology. watching your retrospetive reaction and comparing them now that you are a fan was super fun to watch!. I hope in the future, once you get caugth to one piece we can have that same treatment! And no worries! apologies accepted! you did no harm!
Good ol Jojo binge, I was low key getting worried for you two since a lot was going on and mood was bottoming out, but been enjoying a lot more reactions since and good to hear from Ant again.
Now we need a compilation video where
It first shows your FIRST ever reaction to an opening
it show's the highlights of your reactions to the opening as the show went on and the last one with all of the context of that part
it shows this final reaction to the opening with context to the entire Jojo storyline (since the non anime adapted jojo continues from a new universe)
and it does that for EVERY opening
just one long video where you see natural progression
I remember trying to watch you old OP reaction and just couldn't cause the 60fps was warping it so hard, so glad your doing this
Part 4 being a mix of slice of life, murder mystery and horror is what really makes it stand out to me. And a lot of it just feels like the author was having fun writing it without forcing himself to follow a shonen formula.
I remember seeing some comments about the fact that the compilation you watched was AI "enhanced" to 4k 60fps and taking that opportunity to recommend Noodle's channel and his video "Smoother animation =/= Better animation" and optionnaly his followup about it
I really believe you will like his content and would love to see you react and comment about the topics on his channel!
I've seen videos like that before where the 60 fps was praised, but it looked like it was tearing a lot i thought it looked awful
@@TimothyGod I guess people are happy when a computer does all the work for them, even when it's just filling the gaps between two images
My one issue with that video is that one of the examples he used was one where it was the original animator trying out the technology for himself and being satisfied with the results. (Which is partially why I think interpolation is a nuanced topic, the video in question was Lego stop-motion, which plays into the "this technology was designed for live photography not animation" angle he kept mentioning. For all intents and purposes, stop-motion is the ultimate example of saving time with interpolation.)
If I remember correctly, the episode of Ant wanting to be spit on by a camel is episode 18 of part 3. Those were fun times
I'm really happy to see Ant again, it's been a while since I've heard from him. Hope you doing good, king
Fun fact Diovolo's english voice actor also voices Okuyasu's father
>ALL intros
>Looks inside
>Skips Stone Ocean Version 2
Everytime.
(This was a lovely trip down memory lane)
30:00 you should reconsider your stance about Dragon's dream, the feng shui stand.
I dont see the issues myself, as I think it fits well with the theme of part 6 which is having to deal with things outside of your control. Most enemy stands in the prison are just puppets to stands the cant control, given by Pucci.
Its part of the greater theme about "giving in to destiny and accepting your fate VS fighting against it as long as its the right thing to do"
A luck based stand is cool though, and the interactions with the dragon were funny. It followed luck+fate rules and as long as you didnt get ahead of yourself and knew how to handle it, you were good.
Then it gives us the irony that the old man was the one who ended too ahead of himself and died to his own stand lol.
The old man is funny and creepy too, and it had a IRL reference (Jonestown) so bonus points for the history lesson in that, and for the culture lesson with the Feng shui thing and Jolyne teaching us all the ways to flip off someone around the world.
One thing i love about the scene where Polnareff keeps getting put back to the bottom of the stairs is that dio was actively stopping time and carrying him back down and then go back up himself
I think that original reaction video is actually how I found your channel!
And the depression binge is real. I haven't been doing it lately, but for the last year I've had periods where I'd watch an entire series in one sitting; sometimes more than one series in a day. For what it's worth I - a random person who is too chronically unemployed to support anyone on Patreon - am glad you're still here.
Okay in defense of Koichi in Part 5 not helping Giorno & Polneriff, Jotaro only sent him there to evaluate whether or not Giorno should be considered a threat due to his direct lineage to Dio. Polneriff was there on his own separate mission regarding the arrow and probably neglected to relay any information he picked up to Jotaro on account of him not wanting Diavolo to find him right away and put his whole plan into turmoil. Him getting swapped with the turtle due to Silver Chariot Requiem's shifter ability though....yeah there's no defending that XD
The only series i liked on the channel haha. Missing it. Also nice to see Ant again!
Caesar confusion is understandable given that for him Joseph Araki literally just traced Jonathan and Dio. He needed recognizable faces so people would get hooked. Its entirely intentional.
"This is where the poses started coming out"
a lot of people say Jojo "found its identity" in part 3
but i myself argue that it found its identity and character stylization in part 2, with part 3 being where it found its power system identity and truely got comfortable with its already established identity in part 2
47:18 IT'S NOT A SPOILER, the next parts will not be set in the same universe, but i can say to you that Kars is still in space and nothing leading to part 6 has changed at all, all of the events already happened, the only change is that the people that died before the universe reset are now reborn because of the death of Pucci, and what that means is that Jotaro and Jolyne are free from the Joestar curse that was put on the family for generations, hence why Jolyne is not a JoJo after her new name is Irene
"Nothing can top my love for part 4"
You never know till you try it ant!
((When i was Anime Only, my favourite part was part 2, then part 4 grew on me the longer i watched it and remained my favourite part, i got sick of waiting for stone ocean and decided "fuck it ill just read the manga" and enjoyed it...and then i read part 7, legitimately one of the best media ive ever consumed and it knocked part 4 to the Number 2 spot, i still feel like its the best out of the original timeline/anime))
Im curious if yall will wait till it gets animated or react to a fandub of it (theres a lot)
Yeah Araki had depression during part 5 and had Fugo leave the group. He was originally supposed to be a spy in the group, and his backstory in the manga was more villainous. In the Anime they tweaked his backstory slightly to make him more of a victim instead, as he was no longer planned to be a spy.
31:40 Fugo was originally gonna betray Bucciarati, but Araki was depressed at the time and didn't want to have him killed, so he just wrote him out. He later got his own spinoff light novel tho
37:00 The best explanation I've ever heard for King Crimson and GER is that KC is him hitting the lag switch on reality, while GER is him making you experience packet loss.
Out of all the openings, I love part 3's more where before The World's ability is revealed, the last part just cuts to Dio suddenly being behind Jotaro but after its revealed it shows Dio actually going towards Jotaro and posing, showing us whats been happening behind the scenes
JoJo!? Rat Stand? Duwang?! Morio-cho!
* *Strikes a pose* * 🤸♂️
For Part 3, there’s a 3rd and final version, where if you pay SUPER CLOSE ATTENTION, beginning the stairs, you can see The World’s arms crushing the planks, then the foreshadowings after will have silhouettes of DIO, The World, and Star Platinum in certain respective scenes
If you can find it, you’ll be able to see them, or play the final episode of Part 3 and don’t skip the intro
PS. You also skipped Part 6’s first opening 2nd ver
You missed the first stone ocean op variation! when instead of Jolyne walking away from Jotaro (and grabbing the jail cell) she stops and turns to Jotaro then hugs him ;-;
I legit was rewatching your openings reaction and season 1 while at work like 5h ago, I live in simulation, bruh
There is also a sound effects version of these openings which is even better
Also, almost no one reacts to it as the big opening compilation videos dont feature it, but there is actually a 2nd version to the 1st opening of part 6 "Stone Ocean" (Dont stop beating em up).
In that one, its almost the same, but at the end, instead of Jolyne leaning against the prison bars and giving her back to Jotaro, she turns around the other way and leans her head on Jotaro's back with a concerned expression but we dont see his face. She hugs Jotaro from behind and then we see the same aerial shot from the prison, but this time with the raining frogs and "Savage Garden", the pigeon sent into retrieve Jotaro's Memory disc from prison.
your sins have been forgiven
19:23 you should listen to the Great Days Units Version of this opening. I honestly like a whole lot more than the original.
I got jumpscared seeing Jojo content again on this channel...love it tho❤
31:20 fugo was so sad, araki was planning to bring him back to betray the boys, but a close friend of his betrayed him in real life at the time and he couldn't bring himself to write it and replaced it with the green day fight.
There is a fan made book that would honestly be worth reading called "Purple Haze Feedback" or "Shameless Purple Haze" that concludes his character and Araki himself considers it defacto cannon, he even let the author make an official spin off manga with hol horse and Josuke
so fun to watch you guys react to jojo even the second time
