Love how people meme about with "wow the stand user could be anyone" and here they put the stand user in many scenes way before its introduction and people had no clue about him
And also the fact that Morioh is just supposed to be a small town, so after some time you're gonna just see similiar faces. I think, once kira rans away from Cinderella, there are some characters standing there, like MIkitaka, for example.
And yet, he still actually follows that sarcastic rule, because like all the other stand users, he has one specific design choice that makes him stand out in a sea of nobodies, but said design choice is pretty low-key and not always visible: His Killer Queen branded tie. That is literally the only tell that he's a threat, and when he initially appears in that first scene in the video, you can see he's specifically facing AWAY from the camera, his back completely turned and obscuring his iconic tie.
@@flageditz263idk when I showed my cousin Jojo they didn’t notice him as any significant character in the background. Plus part 4 has a lot of crazy color schemes so it’s hard to take any of that into consideration
Honestly having Kira in the background but also in plain sight is genius, really gives off that "homicidal maniac that look just like everybody else" feel.
It's funnier too when you consider that he's probably the most "Average Joe" looking character in the entirety of JJBA. In comparison to the likes of Koichi, Josuke, Okuyasu and Jotaro with their very pronounced, funky outfits, hairstyles, body builds, etc, Kira really does look like such a bland and nothing individual.
Kira... Was the one to kill Reimi. It is confirmed. She was his first victim. Even creepier with the fact that he was under her bed, wimpering at her hand. If you were saying that the one in the OP wasnt clearly Kira, his eye was Killer Queen's eye
Yes! I wanted to include everything up until his official introduction. The only reason I said it was heavily implied is that technically, we do not see him here. Thanks for the input!
Yeah it's based on the horror myth man pretending to be her dog by licking her then leaving an ominous message saying "humans can lick too" once she finds her dead dog
I heard that fact!! Seriously the best call they could have made. I remember reading an interview with Araki (I forget what year) when part 4 was still being written and he said “I still have no idea who the villain is” 💀
@@Genoscyborg12and there was a video here that said that once he did found it, he would have wanted to foreshadow him. He was able to remedy it with the anime.
I hope they do something similar with Part 8's villain when that finally gets animated. I love the part but the antagonist lacks a lot of foreshadowing and is pretty underwhelming imo, so anime fixes could help that.
The great thing about doing something like an anime adaptation is the chance to do a story over from the beginning with full knowledge of where it's going. This is a great example of this advantage.
I mean yea there’s nothing wrong with someone’s goal in life being to live peacefully, in fact that’s probably the goal of a large majority of people. The issue is that Kira’s definition of a peaceful life including the murder of innocent women which many people see as unethical
Actually he does, well In a different alternate timeline of JoJo universe where he is an sculpture artist where he makes hands out of clay, I don’t think he was weird about it, it’s been awhile since I read it.
@@budgetcommander4849nah, more people need to address the stigma of child murderers being “unethical”. This bias makes things so difficult for people like us!
If Kira was just a man with a strange fetish who know that is not just easy and respect the personal space from a woman it will be okay, but he prefer the easiest way... For him
Both Araki and the animation group did an amazing job at putting him in the background with other background characters, it shows that a killer could literally be anyone
@@f1shynoob890At the very beginning of the anime, we see someone making scrambled eggs while listening to Morioh Radio for the first time. After the meal is finished, a severed hand is revealed. Not only that, but later Kira cooks the same meal in his first scene as Kosaku Kawajiri.
diavolos is also really cool, you don‘t see much of him but you can kinda feel his „presence“ as there is often talked about this mafia boss that we don‘t get to see
Don’t worry about it! These came from myself and several other things friends and mutuals noticed. DP was great with foreshadowing and it was easy to miss!!
Kira really could have had that quiet life, there were women that were into him, if we really picky about the hand thing he’s not that bad looking, I’m sure he could have gotten a girl with pretty hands. Kira just wants to be a killer or something
I think that’s the best part about his character. I think He believes he is truly not doing anything wrong. He is evil, unfeeling, and believes he deserves everything is wants. Araki went totally nuts writing him
One of the show's BEST villains. He doesn't want to enslave humanity, rule the world, control all of Italy while remaining anonymous, or bring about some twisted idea of Heaven. He wants to just live his life like anyone else and engage in some... handy hobbies.
Exactly The other JoJo villains like DIO, Kars and thr Pillarmen, Diavolo and even Pucci had their own henchmen indicating they could be reasoned with if you really, wholeheartedly support their motive. Kira is the only one villain who did not have his own henchmen. His father only used the arrow to create more users to distract the main group from finding Kira and might potentially killing them in the process. Kira is a guy having no henchmen. His purpose couldn't be reasoned by anyone. In my opinion the most evil JoJo villain, with Funny Valentine as the close second.
I believe it's also about his personality and the control aspect. He hates talking to people, or even just being around people, which is why he doesn't get a wife with nice hands. Instead he uses his strength and later on his stand to kill women, and have total control over them. Remove their individuality and make them simply an object he can dispose of and do whatever he pleases with it. Notice how he never fell in love with the Mona Lisa, but instead was fixated on just her hands. Even cutting them off her so he can continue to look at them without the hassle of having the whole image, it mirrors what he would go on to do with real women.
Part 4 is my favorite. Araki figured out how to raise the stakes after a globetrotting monster hunt by scaling the scope way down to this personal, intimate murder mystery involving regular every day people.
Nice! I think you should also add the one scene immediately after Kira changes his identity to Kosaku, where you can see him in the crowd of people (white suit, black spiky hair, carrying bag)
Dude has the best theme & arc amongst all of the Main Antagonists in JJBA so far imo. He was just written with so much thought. Glad they decided to build him up instead of just introduce him as the main villian straight from the beginning
I mean... In the anime they made his co-workers in Kameyu wear green suits. Those vests look quiet unusual but cant compare to Kira's suits: they're too eye-catching.
There's actually one more When Josuke impales that thief and there's a lot of people around, more or so close to the end of the episode, okuyasu, his brother, Kira and Rohan are in there, it's really cool cuz none of them had been introduced yet hey we're always there XD
Fun fact, in the very first episode, when Josuke first meets Angelo, you can see the silhouettes of all of the first few antagonists in the crowd of people watching.
I came looking for this video because I was rewatching jojo and on the episode “Chilli Pepper” I also noticed at 12:37 Kira was in the background glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed
I think Kira had the best villain theme in JoJo. It starts off with something fitting a mystery, then as it continues it puts you on guard, and then BAM! you see him blow up the one guy, then the track lets it all just sit in
Kira and Dio are both scary for me For Dio, he is open to everyone, we know him. But at the same time, we all know Kira, but we don't know where he is. We only know Kira is the killer, but we can't find him. It is very scary.
What I like most about Kira is the logic behind his ambition. His monologue insinuates the difference between peace and normality and how a boring life doesn’t accumulate to peace of mind. Much like people in IRL, he wants to live life full of excitement but free of consequences and (spoilers) achieving his goal of living a peaceful life became his downfall as while he’ll be remembered in Moriah as nothing but an ordinary man, he’ll spend eternity living an un- peaceful afterlife.
1:40 i am sure he would kill those 3 immediatly or destroy the hand if koichi got run over. Because he don't want to deal with police (peaceful life) but koichi is not run over and he just gave angry looks to them. Irl, driver usually mad and yell if this happen. Also, morioh such quiet city, police or people not dense. Perfect for kira.
Kira is slowly introduced trought out the whole first part, hidden in plain sight like this scenes and the radio tgat talk about disappearing cases, most of the audience wouldn't have noticed this the first time but on a second watch it all makes sense
I think it was to symbolize the looming sense of wrongness in the town despite its cheery disguise. That’s why the sky turns pink at the end of the part, symbolizing the release from evil that the town was once controlled by, while still staying bizarre with its colorful people and stand users.
I will say it's quite impressive the dexterity with which he manipulates the hands. The hand holding the bag I'd expect at that angle it'd just flop down all the fingers and fall, or the cloth would just fall out of the hand and it wouldn't pick it up well when he's dabbing his car.
I actually really love how Kira is only introduced far later into the part than other main villains. It makes it feel like they’re actually trying to figure stuff out and know basically nothing. And how it’s a small town and everyone knows each other and see each other every now and then by chance. As someone who lives in a small town I can confirm you actually run into people you know pretty often at places like stores and just walking around.
Both kira and rohan can actually be seen in episode 2 during the robbery at the convenience store where aqua necklace possessed the guy. They are seen in the crowd. Rohan is pretty hard to spot as he is only a silhouette Edit: i might be wrong about kira after re watching the scene but rohan is definitely there
His name is Yoshikage Kira. He's 33 years old. His house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and he is not married. He works as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and he gets home every day by 8 PM at the latest. He doesn't smoke, but he occasionally drinks. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and makes sure he gets eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, he usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, he wakes up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. He was told there were no issues at his last check-up. I'm trying to explain that he's a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. He takes care not to trouble himself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause him to lose sleep at night. That is how he deals with society, and he knows that is what brings him happiness. Although, if he were to fight he wouldn't lose to anyone

i really do like kira, hes a lot more simpler than super ultra mega death christ or vampire who wants to become god and be on the top of the world but also complex in his own way, him and his whole goose chase fit part4 so well
2:49 The way her hand just limps and succumbs to the laws of gravity(if you believe in it) tells me that he had [Killer Queen] hold the hand up to make it look like it wasn’t a disembodied hand. And then he just stopped doing that and the hand just dropped after his monologue ended.
Dude 😭 I appreciate this so much, I’m doin alright. I Dont know why this video is getting so much attention now, but I’m not complaining. How are you doing?
@@Genoscyborg12 I’m doing great as well!!!! It’s good to see that your video getting more attention, congrats for that!!!!!! I hope you have a nice rest of your day brother!!!!!!
This truly shows how close he was to actually living a quiet life. Show this to someone who doesnt Watch JoJo and they'll think its a simple employee (except the part with the severed hand lol)
this change from the manga was a great one, I remember watching a video talk about how araki didn’t like that he didn’t put kira in plain sight (mainly because he didn’t know who was gonna be the main villain for part 4) I just really like how it could’ve been anyone.
Kira can’t be hidden in plain sight before he is introduced to people who already read the Part 4 manga before the Part 4 anime came out. If this was in the manga, it would be infinitely crazier.
so basically Kira is just an introverted psychopath who does that fetish because he (probably) imagines how he has to really act, talking to himself like practice for when he overcomes his fear. but the psychopathy tho… *sma-*
Меня зовут Кира Йошикагэ. Мне 33 года. Мой дом находится в северо-восточной части Морио, в районе поместий. Работаю в офисе сети магазинов Kame Yu и домой возвращаюсь, самое позднее, в восемь вечера. Не курю, выпиваю изредка. Ложусь спать в 11 вечера и убеждаюсь, что получаю ровно восемь часов сна, несмотря ни на что. Перед сном я пью тёплое молоко, а также минут двадцать уделяю разминке, поэтому до утра сплю без особых проблем. Утром я просыпаюсь, не чувствуя ни усталости, ни стресса, словно младенец. На медосмотре мне сказали, что никаких проблем нет. Я пытаюсь донести, что я обычный человек, который хочет жить спокойной жизнью. Я не забиваю себе голову проблемами вроде побед или поражений, и не обзавожусь врагами, из-за которых не мог бы уснуть. Я знаю наверняка: в таком способе взаимодействия с обществом и кроется счастье. Хотя, если бы мне пришлось сражаться, я бы никому не проиграл.
Ok so there was one real example of this happening at 0:14, the rest were literally showing him as the foreground character. Fucking jojo fans trying to suck the show off in any way possible.
Did you even watch the video? He literally states that technically it ws all kira just before being revealed. So butthurt for now reason. Get a life dude
That part in the car... I thought she was like a really silent lady .. Seeing it again with context, I was like, "Shes not alive, its just an arm" . Turns out she was A FULL ON SILENT LADY cause SHE LITERALLY JUST DIED WHEN HE GOES TO HELP HER OUT OF THE CAR!
They do this with a lot of other characters in the show, you actually see Keicho, Okyuasu, Yukako and some others when Josuke stops the robbery early into the shown
Did they remake the anime for part 4 or something? This looks really good, when did it come out, like 2008 or something? I’m not a good judge when it comes to animation (I don’t watch any)
@@theonetruefusion8533 there was a tv version and an updated version, sometimes when the show comes out it looks ass and then the touch it up because they have more time (the show has got strict deadlines I think) the DIU anime was released somewhere from 2014-2016 I think.
Love how people meme about with "wow the stand user could be anyone" and here they put the stand user in many scenes way before its introduction and people had no clue about him
I mean, it's based of after Kira change his identity.
I mean someone with a gun isn’t going to wave it around everywhere they go.
@KrainXPlayz Tbh, even after his BtD power up he just looks like a rich guy with fancy hair
@@KingOfDarknessAndEvil Okay? My point still stands though ;-;
@@KrainXPlayzit still STANDS
part 4 showing kira hidden in plain sight probably is supposed to show how anyone can look completely innocent even though some aren't
And also the fact that Morioh is just supposed to be a small town, so after some time you're gonna just see similiar faces. I think, once kira rans away from Cinderella, there are some characters standing there, like MIkitaka, for example.
The stand user could be anyone.
Or maybe because he’s the main villain
memories of murder reference
He blends in amongst the background characters
For someone getting mad at a kid wearing his socks the wrong way, he sure as hell is shit at parking.
Destroyed
This is real
He couldn't focus because of the raging boner from the severed hand next to him
Lmao
He probably didn't care at the moment, due to being set _rock hard_ on _handy_ matters
kira is actually the definition of “the stand user could be anyone” and not some flashy looking guy
And yet, he still actually follows that sarcastic rule, because like all the other stand users, he has one specific design choice that makes him stand out in a sea of nobodies, but said design choice is pretty low-key and not always visible: His Killer Queen branded tie. That is literally the only tell that he's a threat, and when he initially appears in that first scene in the video, you can see he's specifically facing AWAY from the camera, his back completely turned and obscuring his iconic tie.

Both kira and rohan can actually be seen in episode 2 during the robbery at the convenience store where aqua necklace possessed the guy. They are seen in the crowd. Rohan is pretty hard to spot as he is only a silhouette
Edit: i might be wrong about kira after re watching the scene but rohan is definitely there
4:37 "I have to return some videotapes."
2:45 Actually, was the woman alive on the car? Because the arm only started to fell after the camera zoomed out.
No, since Kira forgot the name of who owns the hand.
@@johnsomebody3627 So the hand was just floating...
It can't move without a brain.
Ehy yall questioning anime logic 🙏
@@LeftInStone Ey it has to make in universe logic too
This is why Kira is the best villain
fun fact:the first scene in part 4 where somebody is doing their daily life is most likely kira
His name is Yoshikage Kira. He's 33 years old. His house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and he is not married. He works as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and he gets home every day by 8 PM at the latest. He doesn't smoke, but he occasionally drinks. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and makes sure he gets eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, he usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, he wakes up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. He was told there were no issues at his last check-up. I'm trying to explain that he's a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. He takes care not to trouble himself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause him to lose sleep at night. That is how he deals with society, and he knows that is what brings him happiness. Although, if he were to fight he wouldn't lose to anyone
I love how creepy Kira is!

4:28 bro why do i simp hard
i really do like kira, hes a lot more simpler than super ultra mega death christ or vampire who wants to become god and be on the top of the world but also complex in his own way, him and his whole goose chase fit part4 so well
Man i love Kira's theme, it perfectly helps encapsulate that he's a classy man with a very dangerous personality and secret
David bowie
No way my favorite musician
I hope something like this is done with tooru in part 8 anime
DAMN KIRA GOT GTR
GTSR but yeah, he owns a pretty nice car for a serial killer
I'm so glad someone noticed the silhouette of him in the Intro!
2:49 The way her hand just limps and succumbs to the laws of gravity(if you believe in it) tells me that he had [Killer Queen] hold the hand up to make it look like it wasn’t a disembodied hand. And then he just stopped doing that and the hand just dropped after his monologue ended.
How would you know that 🤨
How do you not believe in the laws of gravity?
@@ZolcrPeople meet for a reason
Its been eight months since you uploaded this video, so i want to ask you something if you don't mind.
How are you doing today ?
Real fans ask these questions🗣🗣
Dude 😭 I appreciate this so much, I’m doin alright. I Dont know why this video is getting so much attention now, but I’m not complaining. How are you doing?
@@Genoscyborg12 I’m doing great as well!!!! It’s good to see that your video getting more attention, congrats for that!!!!!!
I hope you have a nice rest of your day brother!!!!!!
@@bfg6094 thanks man!! You too!
This truly shows how close he was to actually living a quiet life. Show this to someone who doesnt Watch JoJo and they'll think its a simple employee (except the part with the severed hand lol)
kira will never live a simple life he’s even caught on screen before introduced to his hand fetish.
He was there, he was always there.
He's also shown in the first episode, foreshadowed with another hand scene.
this change from the manga was a great one, I remember watching a video talk about how araki didn’t like that he didn’t put kira in plain sight (mainly because he didn’t know who was gonna be the main villain for part 4) I just really like how it could’ve been anyone.
Kira can’t be hidden in plain sight before he is introduced to people who already read the Part 4 manga before the Part 4 anime came out. If this was in the manga, it would be infinitely crazier.
part 4 is the only one immune to "the stand user could be anyone" meme (and of course 1 and 2)
I forgot how creepy bro was
he is just trying to live a peaceful life
so basically Kira is just an introverted psychopath who does that fetish because he (probably) imagines how he has to really act, talking to himself like practice for when he overcomes his fear.
but the psychopathy tho… *sma-*
He just wanted to live a quiet life
Меня зовут Кира Йошикагэ. Мне 33 года. Мой дом находится в северо-восточной части Морио, в районе поместий. Работаю в офисе сети магазинов Kame Yu и домой возвращаюсь, самое позднее, в восемь вечера. Не курю, выпиваю изредка. Ложусь спать в 11 вечера и убеждаюсь, что получаю ровно восемь часов сна, несмотря ни на что. Перед сном я пью тёплое молоко, а также минут двадцать уделяю разминке, поэтому до утра сплю без особых проблем. Утром я просыпаюсь, не чувствуя ни усталости, ни стресса, словно младенец. На медосмотре мне сказали, что никаких проблем нет. Я пытаюсь донести, что я обычный человек, который хочет жить спокойной жизнью. Я не забиваю себе голову проблемами вроде побед или поражений, и не обзавожусь врагами, из-за которых не мог бы уснуть. Я знаю наверняка: в таком способе взаимодействия с обществом и кроется счастье. Хотя, если бы мне пришлось сражаться, я бы никому не проиграл.
he really pulled the “i have to return some video tapes” at the end there
His theme is like a cat stalking some smaller animal. A domesticated killer
0:21 why did i think that a woman was bathing 😭😭
Did you watch part 4?
And like that was the entire point of that shot to make you think it was a woman bathing
@@Ahahashir OH SHUT UP >:(
@@Ahahashir I can't watch part four
@@Ahahashir I am watching on my mobile
He just lives an ordinary life
Theres another scene with him in a business conversation while at lunch
Fun Fact, Rohan, Yuya and Cheap Trick’s user are introduced in the same way. Background characters before their respective episodes.
2:12 this part broke me LMAO
Such a sickening character. I love him.
Ngl
When I saw Kira during the RHCP fight on rewatch, my jaw was on the floor.
We never notice until after the fact. Just as Kira would have wanted it
Ok so there was one real example of this happening at 0:14, the rest were literally showing him as the foreground character. Fucking jojo fans trying to suck the show off in any way possible.
Damn struck a nerve over there buddy
why r u on a jojo video if u don’t like it… unclench its not that deep 💀
Did you even watch the video? He literally states that technically it ws all kira just before being revealed. So butthurt for now reason. Get a life dude
What did jojo fans do to u lmao
why are you so mad lmao
Kira the serial killer psychopath who just wants to not be noticed
I started watching Jojos again because of a Kira edit I saw on tiktok. It was worth it, im on 8 now
You forgot the scene when a random person was talking to Kira and gave him a random orange-ish envelope
I believe he was also a spectator when Aqua Necklace tried to rob a convenience store, it was either him or the Nijimura brothers
That part in the car... I thought she was like a really silent lady .. Seeing it again with context, I was like, "Shes not alive, its just an arm" . Turns out she was A FULL ON SILENT LADY cause SHE LITERALLY JUST DIED WHEN HE GOES TO HELP HER OUT OF THE CAR!
In the first part where we see Kira’s Debut, we could also see the Kame Yu department store
(Reference to where he worked at)
85% of this video is him BEING introduced slowly and not in the background of scenes.
This means all the memes which are like"imagine seeung a random stadn battle in the middle if the street" are confirmed canon
They do this with a lot of other characters in the show, you actually see Keicho, Okyuasu, Yukako and some others when Josuke stops the robbery early into the shown
Did they remake the anime for part 4 or something? This looks really good, when did it come out, like 2008 or something? I’m not a good judge when it comes to animation (I don’t watch any)
@@theonetruefusion8533 there was a tv version and an updated version, sometimes when the show comes out it looks ass and then the touch it up because they have more time (the show has got strict deadlines I think) the DIU anime was released somewhere from 2014-2016 I think.
i litreally noticed kira in plain sight before he even revealed it
@@ayaankhatab5809 so why are you here
