Spoilers for ALL!! That being said, man I can’t wait for Made In Heaven’s anime adaptation. Despite Part 6 having a fairly tame anime thus far, I hope they’ve saved the best batch for last. What do you guys think of Part 6 so far? Personally, I think it’s been really stiff, relies a LOT on Araki’s panelling throughout, imo. Would love to hear your opinions below, though!
The first batch was stiff when came out in my opinion. While the second batch did a fantastic job of adapting the middle part of the story. Especially limp biscuit arc they added more scenes and and it flow perfectly. But that's my take
Part 6 anime is good like the rest of david production work but this is the first anime of there’s where I believe it’s not better than the manga counterpart
Yeah, I've been pretty disappointed in the Part 6 adaptation too, I've been getting the impression from it that the David Production higher ups just want to push it out to finish the original continuity. I guess after so long of hearing people hate on Part 6 I've been hoping for the past few years that an anime adaptation would finally shut those people up... but it seems like that hasn't really been happening.
@@alexenterprises1 I read through part 6 fully and it became my favorite part but I think the main strength is the final 3rd batch which isn’t released yet
I like that Araki could do any setting genre, I wouldn’t even be surprised if Part 9 is cyberpunk version of Golden Wind + Stone Ocean. (Wait I made that up on the fly but the crime and security themes + shady organization/corporations fits)
OH. MY. GOD. I kept thinking about what if Part 9 was set in the future, but a _Cyberpunk JoJo part?_ That. That would be incredible. Edit: tbh I don't think it's Araki's style + it's also too political, I'd much rather have a fanfic or spin-off by someone else of a Cyberpunk city + stands.
@@hippotripo6145 That would actually ground KC in a similar way to how Star platinum is OP but is limited by how Jotaro defends those around him from harm. A Jojo with KC or a power like KC would not be able to just skip past all their problems because by the time they end the skip all their friends are dead and the world is doomed.
I think it's strange to call Kakyoin's death "an experiment in killing off a protagonist" when Jonathan dies in pt 1, and Caesar dies in pt 2 I'd argue those 2 characters are more central protagonists than Kakyoin is in pt 3
I agree, Jonathan's death introduces the idea that not even the main protagonist is safe from fate in this series. Caesar's death Introduces the idea that no matter how much a character grows and shares with others, it is still vulnerable to a tragic cruel death at ANY time, and this has a real emotional impact in other characters. This may seem as tiny insignificant things, but they change the way we expect the future fights to go. Now every single encounter can end with the end of a character.
I agree, but his death show us that even a character that has gotten badly hurt so many times but always stands back up, a character with a strong duty and will that does everything he can to see this to the end, might not be able to do it, and might one day not come back
The great thing about Jojo is that it teaches young kids to take school seriously, because you never know when that very specific scientific fact will come in handy.
This is exactly how I think about JoJo’s. It feels less like a company trying to make bank with a bunch of writers working for them. Instead it feels like a guy just writing a story for fun and a company animating his works of art for us to enjoy.
I love the fact araki does whatever the hell he wants. there's no doubt there's stress to the job, but also I think araki is a bit more free than other mangakas. he does what inspires him, not exactly what makes 100% sense. I think only he could come up with something like jojolion and have the balls to take the concept of "hey let's redo an earlier thing of mine but alchemy" and run with it. especially since araki has shown to really like part 4, I think he just wanted to revisit it and I'm so glad hes one of the only people that can do that and still make money
I discovered JoJo thanks to a classmate in school, back in late-2010 or around 2011. Yes, I was one of those lucky people that discovered JoJo before the anime. And back in those days JoJo only had very crummy fan translations.(Duwang) Your video is well put together and edited. Keep it up. :)
JoJo was a great watch for me, finally caught up anime wise. But I have to say so far part 4 was my favorite. In fact I stayed up all night watching it because I enjoyed it so much. I fell in love with the entire series. So glad my Brother and Sister kept begging me to watch it.
Unpopular opinion: I actually really liked Phantom Blood! Mainly because Phantom Blood is a Gothic horror story that takes place in 1800's England dealing with Vampires. And as a Dracula fan, that really appeals to me. I love the story of Part 1 too, and (I'm serious here) I love the character of Jonathan Joestar. Yeah, he may be a little bland, but I have a soft spot for goody two shoes heroes like Jonathan. And specially in this age of anti-heroes or super hero deconstruction that I am so tired of, a goody two shoes like Jonathan, is honestly kind of refreshing. Battle Tendency was great too. Even better than part 1! It's also a story that I find appealing. And I love Joseph Joestar, he's hilarious! I'm currently reading Stardust Crusaders, and I think it might the the best part so far. Really loving it!
All parts are good, it's just that they're practically all different genres, and because of that there aren't many people who can really enjoy all parts equally, and love the series as a whole without a couple asterisks. Having said that, this is the internet we're talking about, and if someone doesn't like something even slightly, then clearly it's garbage lol.
Yeah Phantom Blood with all it's flaws does have it's charm and I think the victorian gothic horror and the tragedy that befalls Jonathan is what makes the story for me. It has some Dracula and Castlevania feel to it which I really love. Character wise I think outside Jonathan and Dio (whose relationship is what drives the story) and Will Zeppeli himself the other characters aren't that developed even Erina and Speedwagon who get a bit more character in Battle Tendency. As for Jonathan Araki did admited in his JoJonium interview that he didn't develop Jonathan more than the archetypical type of hero and that he created him to serve as a mirror to Dio (the character he was really interested in writing). That and the fact that Phantom Blood is so short I think didn't leave much for Jonathan to develop, but IMO the manga at the least does have enough to show that Jonathan was more than a "goody two shoes" hero. He's a lonely spoiled rich kid who engage in boxing fights with other kids for money, he steals his father's pipe and asks other kids to smoke with him (something which isn't shown in the Anime), after Dio starts messing with his life he becomes even lonelier and more miserable as he loses Danny, everyone in his life turns on him, and his father has a preference for Dio. Yet even at his lowest moment when he's hungry and crying about his misery and missing a mother that he never met, finding a half-eaten chocolate bar makes Jonathan extremely happy to the point he forgets his problems. Then much later after he meets Dio at Wind Knight's lot he confesses to him that what he wants the most is to kill Dio in revenge for all the people he killed and it's the most raw and very much the opposite of what you expect a noble character like Jonathan to have but it humanizes him too. But yeah there just wasn't enough to expand on Jonathan's character even though years later Araki uses Johnny Joestar to expand on some of the things he didn't explore with Jonathan (because SBR allows for an in depth character exploration of Johnny and how his isolation, his father preferring another son over him, and just about every misfortune that befalls him affects his character).
I've always understood that the universe from the end of part 6 is just the regular universe. Pucci died in the process of creating the new one, so it reverted back to the old one. The characters that died have different identities, but the same soul they had before. This is backed up by Pucci saying that the souls of the dead don't "pass over" to the new world. Pucci died in the new world, leaving behind his soul in the collapsing universe. great video BTW.
It is such a great idea, I can see it working. The part where the police men shot Dio, the part where Jonathan dies in the boat, the Dio mansion fight. It’s a masterpiece
Spoiler warning for part 8! With regards to Jojolion I’d like to disagree with the take that “it just ends”. The stand controlling the flow of calamity and its curse are destroyed, Josuke finds his identity and find his family to be his to make not one that he needs to find, and some of the most amazing character writing and story writing is finalized in the end. Jobin is one of my favorite examples riding the line between an antagonist and a protagonist throughout the entire story his intentions and reasons are made known all up until the final battle. I truly believe it’s one of the best parts (though steel ball run is my favorite).
Part 8 is great, but I feel like the pacing is perfect at first then messes up later. It slows down to a bit boring after a bit, then suddenly speeds up to the end, with dropped plot points, like karera never re-appearing, characters like kei showing up right at the end just to die, Holly never being saved even though Josuke made it clear that was his goal, the flashback man never being brought up again. Toru is also the weakest villain. Other villainshave appeared close to the end, like diavolo for example, but at least right at the start you know that they were going to fight the boss and that he's evil. With part 8, it's nevereven hinted that there's a big leader of the e rock humans, and Toru doesn't have many bad things hes showing doing, or much personailty or goals, other than just more power. There's even a page of the manga saying, all events happened because of this man, as if the manga needs to make sure you realise this is supposed to be the villain, because it's just not made clear
@@raeldrews1187 The stand power is quite cool, but I also feel like the way it's defeated with go beyond is a bit out of nowhere. Suddenly it's just dropped on us that the bubbles are spinning, and Rai somehow knows this but it's never explained how he knows, and then Josuke can just make them turn into infite energy? A bit unexpected and unexplained
@@JJLarge oh i was talking about how the doctor and wonde of u were used as vilans all the mystery and how treating it was honestly how it was defeated feals prety lame
One of the reasons I feel like people complaining about part 1 is that it was set up, got better and developed from there onwards but so many shows, films etc have 1 good season at the start
I’m so glad to see as much love for Stone Ocean as I’ve seen on TH-cam lately. I just finished it myself this past week and I thought it was great. I didn’t have great expectations for it as I hadn’t heard it get poo-pooed online but it really is a great JoJo part. Just ask Nux or Eyepatch Wolf and Alex here too. They all agree that Stone Ocean is amazing. And I agree too
Tbh if Jonathan never even uses hamon I would have enjoyed the story more, go straight from the Jonathan recovering and reuniting with Erin’s from mansion burning down to the boat scene, all the characters motivations are the same, but it would be much shorter and more emotional I think
I have to commend this video for something that many many JoJo videos fail to do. Focus on the series as a MANGA and not the anime. Especially with the use of manga panels and artwork that far outshines anything in the anime adaption. The anime is great and all but it's still a product that hinges on monetary incentives. The vast majority of work on it is by people doing their jobs and just a handful of true fans. The manga is nothing less than the passion child and true vision of one person.
It’s quite bizarre if I do say so myself It’s quite bizarre if I do say so myself It’s quite bizarre if I do say so myself It’s quite bizarre if I do say so myself It’s quite bizarre if I do say so myself.
While i want araki to be kind to himself with regards to overworking, he seems to have the status and wherewithall to afford himself that. Its really sad the way that manga is treated in japan and the culture of work constantly. But he takes breaks between parts and doesnt seem to give a shit how long his parts take which gives him time to wind down and also take in new culture and media to adapt and synthesize. But i hope he doesnt end it at 9. Id rather he continue jojos even if its bad rather than try to create something else. Like if he ends jojos with 9 and retires for good, great, but if he goes and does something else id likely be pretty sad.
Although you could say that jojolion was just a re-make of part 4 just more adult friendly I'd disagree since it had lots of themes that were found in part 5 and maybe even 7 of a Mafia trying to obtain this new fruit. I personally really enjoyed it and it's my favorite part and it has some very good characters like jobin, Josuke, norisuke, mamezuku Rai and yasuho aswell as some really well written and impactful scenes like when josefumi was trying to save kiras life but at the end of the day it's all just jojo's and it's something you really fall in love with and cherish
I recently started to get into Jojo. At 34. First part was....unique. tho as the pillar men or whatever the fuck they were reaches its final battle and that theme song kicks in in the background going JOOOOOOOOOOOO! JO! fucking slaps as the final battle goes on...loved it. I cannot get past the first part of the stands. There's so much seeming filler....I dunno if I can continue. This part does have a lot of episodes, and to be fair, the first part didn't REALLY grab me towards the end. So, perhaps I'll preserve. Perhaps there's hope. So far, Hamon shits all over stands. And why does Joseph totally change in old age. He's not even the same dude. (I haven't slept in 24 hours. I should stop now) Enjoyed this vid tho.
(an error occurred and couldn't post my super-long original comment, and I'm too sleepy to re-type it, this is a shortened version) Just like you, I did not like the first half so much (Note: No, I am NOT saying that I dislike it.). Just sub-par, not so original villain-of-the-week shite. You've summed it up really well: "It feels like filler". Exactly. But bro, the second half when the group gets to Egypt gets SO much better, and the villains get so much stronger. But even if the story and villains got better, sadly Part 3 still didn't hook me. Heck, I still haven't watched the final fight even to this day because I just got so bored. Pure action just isn't my thing. Now, with that being said, PART 4 IS WHERE JJBA GETS REALLY REALLY GOOD. No more cliche villains and fights. Things get REALLY creative from here onward. THIS is where Araki's real talent blooms. Though I will warn you that just like Part 3, the first half is villain-of-the-week formula as well, so if the creativity of the Stands do not hook you, please do not drop it, since watching each Episode and knowing all these seemingly random characters is crucial when we start fighting the main villain. And man! is the confrontation of the main villain so INTENSE!! The Episodes of the little kid is AMAZING. He's the MVP of this Part. Then we get to Part 5. Simply THE BEST PART. Best main group, and best villains. Very creative battles, and best OST hands down. THE FASHION AND FLAMBOYANCE GOES BONKERS LOL. Also very important note: Where Part 1 gave us Robert E.O. Speedwagon (best waifu), Part 5 enlightens us to Bruno Bucciarati (best mom), the BEST CHARACTER IN ALL OF JJBA HANDS DOWN (though my personal favourite is Abbacchio). He is such a legend. Part 6 I haven't watched/read it yet thanks to being so busy in real life, but I know the ending, so I can say that you are gonna have a wild ride. So what I really want you to know is that JJBA gets better and better in terms of writing in each Part, as Araki gets more experienced in working with Stands and their creativity. Part 4 and 5 are very unique, so you cannot judge JJBA if you haven't watched these two. Give it a chance. And I've heard from so many people that Part 7 is structurally the most well-written Part hands down. It's even ranked 2nd best manga of all time on IMBD. Wow. I am sooooo excited to read it!! (I know I'm gonna LOVE the two villains since they're so darn quirky) LMAO I said this was gonna be a short version, but it actually got slightly longer than the original somehow. XD And I appologise if somehow the original comments pops back up. Sometimes it happens. TH-cam's errors are weird.
I like this video, eloquent interpretations of the author's work, i basically agree with every point. Will you be making a review on the JoJo Spinoffs, one-shots, novels and/or OVA's at any point?
I enjoy him a lot though I think he could’ve used some more time to develop as a villain. I love the ending and genuinely think part 8 is an amazing part and very underrated. But I can understand why people might think that his character introduction was a little random and too short.
You can take this even further, though I wouldn't considered them 'power systems' ghosts, psychics, aliens, and all sorts of weird shit is cannon in the JoJo universe.
Actually, for part 4 Araki was inspired by the fact that Japan had many serial killers at the time, and he also had ideas for stands that didn't fit part 3 but we're better suited for a city. Thus, part 4 was born
While I love Part 7, it's not what I'd consider the greatest manga Spaghetti Western I've read, since that honor goes to Golden Kamuy in my book at least.
I get f.v died and Diego wasn't much of a villain but could there have been a reboot dio for my part it's not jojo if there isn't a JOESTAR fighting a Brando, also if I had a kid would it be Kira's or josefumi's?...holly shit I am the dio of my part
Just to correct, generational storylines and arcs has been told many times. These are what we known as the mythologies and the like. In a way Jojo is trying to reach that scale. It even featured Jesus once.
Spoilers for ALL!!

I just can Wait for Part 9 and i wish we get to see Jojo in Indonesia my Home Country. Bring Out JojoLands to Indonesia
One of the reasons I feel like people complaining about part 1 is that it was set up, got better and developed from there onwards but so many shows, films etc have 1 good season at the start
this some great content my guy
This was so cool! Been wanting to dive into the series but didn't know when to start, ive only seen golden wind so far
Part 6 can be just as great especially when the final batch of episodes come out, and part 7 is 100% worth the read.
Part 4 is my favorite though I recommend you start at the very beginning
start with part 1 for the love of god
Jesus you started from part 5 your enjoyment experience has destroyed for jojo
*Part Skipper REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!*
Nah for real start from Phantom blood then battle Tendency, Stardust Crusaders and Diamond is Unbreakable.
Like look at Araki’s drip himself. He pulled off wearing a tie with a sweater. He is him
Super-duper easy to confuse, as it's a drawing during the Part 2 era 3:04, but that's Jonathan ! Lmao, I know!
Aargh! I knew it would happen too! I literally had two folders for the two during editing and still missed this 😭
I’m so glad to see as much love for Stone Ocean as I’ve seen on TH-cam lately. I just finished it myself this past week and I thought it was great. I didn’t have great expectations for it as I hadn’t heard it get poo-pooed online but it really is a great JoJo part. Just ask Nux or Eyepatch Wolf and Alex here too. They all agree that Stone Ocean is amazing. And I agree too
I really, *immensely* enjoy Part 8's ending, precisely because it just, kinda, ends. It has this overpowering, crushing feeling of "what now?"
@@mrfact03s No, I know. I meant moe like, for the lives of the characters. "How do we overcome this trauma?"
Tbh if Jonathan never even uses hamon I would have enjoyed the story more, go straight from the Jonathan recovering and reuniting with Erin’s from mansion burning down to the boat scene, all the characters motivations are the same, but it would be much shorter and more emotional I think
Thank you dude
Nice video❤
I have to commend this video for something that many many JoJo videos fail to do.
Focus on the series as a MANGA and not the anime.
Especially with the use of manga panels and artwork that far outshines anything in the anime adaption.
The anime is great and all but it's still a product that hinges on monetary incentives.
The vast majority of work on it is by people doing their jobs and just a handful of true fans.
The manga is nothing less than the passion child and true vision of one person.
I would say spin and hamon are the same power system as they are explained within a similar way as a way to achieve a stand
It’s quite bizarre if I do say so myself

Jojo is goated. You goddamn right !!!!
I would sepárate the trilogies like this, the trilogy (after all these 3 connects perfectly), the spinoffs and the alternate universe/weird trilogy
I never noticed that Dio and the first vampire we see in the “modern” era die on a bridge wow
While i want araki to be kind to himself with regards to overworking, he seems to have the status and wherewithall to afford himself that. Its really sad the way that manga is treated in japan and the culture of work constantly. But he takes breaks between parts and doesnt seem to give a shit how long his parts take which gives him time to wind down and also take in new culture and media to adapt and synthesize. But i hope he doesnt end it at 9. Id rather he continue jojos even if its bad rather than try to create something else. Like if he ends jojos with 9 and retires for good, great, but if he goes and does something else id likely be pretty sad.
Genius ? Only ? Bruh, JoJo is life !
Even life is a JoJo reference
Although you could say that jojolion was just a re-make of part 4 just more adult friendly I'd disagree since it had lots of themes that were found in part 5 and maybe even 7 of a Mafia trying to obtain this new fruit. I personally really enjoyed it and it's my favorite part and it has some very good characters like jobin, Josuke, norisuke, mamezuku Rai and yasuho aswell as some really well written and impactful scenes like when josefumi was trying to save kiras life but at the end of the day it's all just jojo's and it's something you really fall in love with and cherish
Thanks for the vid
Araki is a bizarre guy
I could listen to you speak all day.
Great video as always
I recently started to get into Jojo. At 34. First part was....unique. tho as the pillar men or whatever the fuck they were reaches its final battle and that theme song kicks in in the background going JOOOOOOOOOOOO! JO! fucking slaps as the final battle goes on...loved it.
I cannot get past the first part of the stands. There's so much seeming filler....I dunno if I can continue. This part does have a lot of episodes, and to be fair, the first part didn't REALLY grab me towards the end. So, perhaps I'll preserve. Perhaps there's hope. So far, Hamon shits all over stands. And why does Joseph totally change in old age. He's not even the same dude. (I haven't slept in 24 hours. I should stop now)
Enjoyed this vid tho.
Continue
(an error occurred and couldn't post my super-long original comment, and I'm too sleepy to re-type it, this is a shortened version)
Just like you, I did not like the first half so much (Note: No, I am NOT saying that I dislike it.). Just sub-par, not so original villain-of-the-week shite. You've summed it up really well: "It feels like filler". Exactly. But bro, the second half when the group gets to Egypt gets SO much better, and the villains get so much stronger.
But even if the story and villains got better, sadly Part 3 still didn't hook me. Heck, I still haven't watched the final fight even to this day because I just got so bored. Pure action just isn't my thing.
Now, with that being said, PART 4 IS WHERE JJBA GETS REALLY REALLY GOOD. No more cliche villains and fights. Things get REALLY creative from here onward. THIS is where Araki's real talent blooms. Though I will warn you that just like Part 3, the first half is villain-of-the-week formula as well, so if the creativity of the Stands do not hook you, please do not drop it, since watching each Episode and knowing all these seemingly random characters is crucial when we start fighting the main villain. And man! is the confrontation of the main villain so INTENSE!! The Episodes of the little kid is AMAZING. He's the MVP of this Part.
Then we get to Part 5. Simply THE BEST PART. Best main group, and best villains. Very creative battles, and best OST hands down. THE FASHION AND FLAMBOYANCE GOES BONKERS LOL. Also very important note: Where Part 1 gave us Robert E.O. Speedwagon (best waifu), Part 5 enlightens us to Bruno Bucciarati (best mom), the BEST CHARACTER IN ALL OF JJBA HANDS DOWN (though my personal favourite is Abbacchio). He is such a legend.
Part 6 I haven't watched/read it yet thanks to being so busy in real life, but I know the ending, so I can say that you are gonna have a wild ride.
So what I really want you to know is that JJBA gets better and better in terms of writing in each Part, as Araki gets more experienced in working with Stands and their creativity.
Part 4 and 5 are very unique, so you cannot judge JJBA if you haven't watched these two.
Give it a chance.
And I've heard from so many people that Part 7 is structurally the most well-written Part hands down. It's even ranked 2nd best manga of all time on IMBD. Wow. I am sooooo excited to read it!! (I know I'm gonna LOVE the two villains since they're so darn quirky)
LMAO I said this was gonna be a short version, but it actually got slightly longer than the original somehow. XD
And I appologise if somehow the original comments pops back up. Sometimes it happens. TH-cam's errors are weird.
I like this video, eloquent interpretations of the author's work, i basically agree with every point. Will you be making a review on the JoJo Spinoffs, one-shots, novels and/or OVA's at any point?
What’s your thoughts on Tohru as part 8’s main villain?
I enjoy him a lot though I think he could’ve used some more time to develop as a villain. I love the ending and genuinely think part 8 is an amazing part and very underrated. But I can understand why people might think that his character introduction was a little random and too short.
@@rrod3602 he wasnt talking to you 😭
@@runkstrunks so I can’t express my opinion?
@@runkstrunks chill
@@rrod3602 express away!
There's arguably 5 power systems because of vampirism and rock humans
Rock humans don’t really have powers tho
@@OasisTrain they seem to have some weird abilites unique to them, like Yotsuyu being able to produce a clear fabric out of his ass or something
You can take this even further, though I wouldn't considered them 'power systems' ghosts, psychics, aliens, and all sorts of weird shit is cannon in the JoJo universe.
@@OasisTrain they can turn into rocks on command
well done
Gene Gene, made a machine and Jo Jo may go. He blew a fart and blew a hole and blew the whole damn city apart.
Lets go JOJO AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
JoJo is one of the greatest series 🔥 🔥
you must've watched 3 shows in ur life then
@@myreactiontoreadingthis4321 I could say the same for you
@@deshawnwilliams6939 no you cant
@@myreactiontoreadingthis4321 Yes I can now quit being petty and move on, I can like what I like
@@myreactiontoreadingthis4321 honestly he can, lol
Part 1, 2, and 3 are the best
nice video.
What if Araki made a zeppeli family member the main character in Jojolands?
Yeeeeeeees😊
Actually, for part 4 Araki was inspired by the fact that Japan had many serial killers at the time, and he also had ideas for stands that didn't fit part 3 but we're better suited for a city. Thus, part 4 was born
It’s quite bizarre if I do say myself
So are parts 7 and beyond not tied to the same Joestar universe as the rest?
It recently became 10 parts and I'm too happy about it
10?
0:15
When did part 9 came out
part 3 has no pacing problems
Great video!
Its the best manga
True
Yezzir facts
Part 2 is still the best
Banger
maybe part 10 will be the end
u need 100k subs
4:48 Ok this one is absolutely not true. Star Finger? Eye beams?
Trinston was here .
It’s quite bizarre if I do say
Is it a horse race
Yes but no
While I love Part 7, it's not what I'd consider the greatest manga Spaghetti Western I've read, since that honor goes to Golden Kamuy in my book at least.
This kind of just feels like analysis from the wiki worded slightly different and than voiced out loud,
IM SO HEPPY I LOF JOJOS BIZZARW ADVENTURE (pOp) 😍✌️
I get f.v died and Diego wasn't much of a villain but could there have been a reboot dio for my part it's not jojo if there isn't a JOESTAR fighting a Brando, also if I had a kid would it be
Kira's or josefumi's?...holly shit I am the dio of my part
Imo part 6 second universe was the same universe but without the influence of dio and without the continuation of the joestar curse
Couldn’t really get into it .. don’t know why 😢
Love how everyone suddenly realises this.
it's been years and years
Just to correct, generational storylines and arcs has been told many times. These are what we known as the mythologies and the like. In a way Jojo is trying to reach that scale. It even featured Jesus once.
jojo solos every manga 🥱
wow
Doesn’t this guy also narrate Daily football?
