/sp/ here

what was JoJo like before the anime? because this anime has created a toxic cesspool that has gone too fucking far with the shit memes.
>>
>>149327800
Exactly the same as it was before the anime only most of the sperging retards were japanese, so you didn't see them.
>>
Still kind of annoying. Jojofags really have always tried putting their shit in everything, that I can confirm. But since the community was so small, it never amounted to much.
>>
can't be worse than this thread

Endless Duwang memes.

People bitching petshop was broken in the home versions of the Capcom game. People unironically enjoying the abridged series.
>>
>>149327800
Jojo has always been filled with memes. Za warudo, Duwang, It Just Works, etc.

P.S. nice dubs
>>
>>149327991

Yep. Before it wasn't as bad. But now you have retards going out in public and posing. These autists are no different from people who used to do the naruto run.

People used to recognise Steel Ball Run was the only good thing about Jojo, and eagerly awaited JoJolion, which proved to be just as good. Unfortunately /v/posters ruined everything with their shit taste, and now you can unironically praise shit like Stone Ocean, Diamond is Unbreakable and even fucking Battle Tendency.

Before the anime JoJo fans used to be this small and incredibly smug subset of shounenshitters that thought they were better than the normies because their series had wacky poses.

It's still like that, except it's now the majority of people, so they don't even have an excuse anymore.

>>149329352
Joseph, Stroheim, and Whammu were the only decent characters in the whole part. The plot is okay at best, the fights are mostly resolved through pure bs, and Kars is defeated by a deus ex machina.

Part 3 used to be like that 10 years ago, but as of now, I think many people are willing to be more critical of its shortcomings. Part 2, on the other hand, has had a massive surge in popularity that it has never had in its entire existence because of the anime.

Used to be good
Didn't have constant general threads running on /a/ 90% of the time
Anime was a pleasant surprise that was very satisfying, especially from cour 1 into cour 2, then sometime around the end of Part 2's episodes the threads got more frequent, fujo posting got increased, memes became more rampant and overused, and after part 3 aired it went into overdrive with IS THIS AN ENEMY STAND MUDA MUDA MUDA and even more gay posting and shit, now with Toonami we're reaching fucking critical mass and it's honestly turned me off of watching the new anime until it's done

I'll take generals over numerous threads. Lesser of two evils.

I just hope none of you fags are the type who liked it but hate it now that its blowing up. Popularity makes anything obnoxious and keep in mind JoJo's always been a meme machine.

Plus, this is only the beginning. The real threat are all the retards that will spill over from the toonami threads over at /co/.
>>
>>149336081
Personally the ideal would be the general going on Friday + one extra thread when Jojolion comes out.

I definitively don't hate Jojo, all these years and Jojolion is still that one I eagerly await every month. I'm also enjoying the anime very much, but it's no longer cool do discuss on /a/ since it's all retards posting memes
>>

>Lesser of two evils.
It's not. Random threads die off and interesting threads stay up being fresh. Generals cause retards to shitpost because they cannot handle their happy place to not be up perpetually.
>>
>>149335942
The anime fixed its pacing and a lot of the art. Part 2 is probably the best of the adaptations, but the manga is not great in comparison to later arcs. Also, /a/ is full of sol fags who just want to masturbate to the first half of part 4 all day.

The same problems existed, just on a smaller scale. I'm assuming you're talking primarily about the west though because JoJo has always been insanely huge in Japan.

It used to be there were a handful of obnoxious JoJofags amongst the people who read/enjoyed the series but nowadays it feels like the obnoxious ones are the majority. Hard to say if that's simply because they're the loudest and most visible though.

Oh, and the weirdest thing is people putting Araki on a pedestal. Like, I get it. He's a weird guy and he does a good job of translating those idiosyncrasies to the page. But until recently I've never heard anyone defend him as a legitimately skilled writer. He's creative and a huge influence but he's also inconsistent as fuck in his writing and he's has always been the kind to favor style over substance. And that's fine for who he is because he makes it work but his skill amd nuance has always been lacking.

/a/ was smaller way back when so people either didn't care about Jojo beyond ZA WARUDO or saw it fondly as this quirky manga with vampires, steamrollers and crazy shit written and drawn by an immortal.


When the anime came out a lot of people got into Jojo but because of its reputation as something inoffensive that most people have no real issue with people thought this gave them the right to scream about it and be obnoxious to lord knows no end about it.


And now here we are

>>
>>149336450
Yeah, asspulls never stopped being a thing in JoJo. They happen pretty often because Araki isn't always good at setting things up.
>>
Doesn't anyone even remember the OVAs? That's how I discovered JoJo, only to find out it was shit.
>>
>>149336413
>>149336413
I specifically remember that pre-anime threads constantly talked about Araki's inconsistencies and fuck-ups. The general consensus is that while the manga is great, the only part with a truly well-written story is Part 7´. Did that change?

>>149336459
Ultimately I think the anime is a nice trade-off. It made Jojo's popularity blow up in the west so with a little luck, we'll have more jojo merchandise appearing in the west (who knows, one day we might even get english manga volumes for the whole series). I can handle not being able to have a good discussion about it on /a/ for that

Never wish for your [insert favorite thing here] to become popular and mainstream. Settle for a middle sized for quality fanbase where proper discussion is plentiful and the creators are dedicated to it's work. All popularity brings about is cancerous people and the creators selling out and diluting their work to appeal to new broader audience.

even before the anime, part 2 was my favourite part. Joseph was openly admitting he was bullshitting his way through the adventure and when he completely ran out of options in the final fight, he shamelessly took credit of a lucky break just to piss off the villain. It was a refreshing mc.
>>
>>149336695
No that didn't change. When he doesn't forget or drop shit he can write compelling and interesting characters in wacky situations with their own wacky powers and with multiple ways of dealing with it.

Stone Ocean for example is full of random bullshit but also has a lot of fun, cool, bitter sweet, heartfelt and qwerky moments. The whole survivor fight isn't even remotely the best fight in the part but is fucking awesome from start to finish, and that's in probably (outside of 2) the poorest written part when it comes to a sprawling narrative. It has one of the best jojos, some great side characters and a fantastic villain, but it's still overall a poorly written mess.

As someone who has been in this fanbase before the anime happened let me tell you that what happened instead was the opposite.

Until the anime happened, within the small circles within the fanbase, we accepted JoJo's inconsistencies for what they were, explained them whenever we could (a lot of times they really aren't that hard to explain) and we looked past them to appreciate how Araki is great in terms of developing characters and creating interesting scenarios.

It wasn't until recently with the new influx of fans that suddenly everyone started reading the manga and calling JoJo terrible from a writing perspective for honestly really stupid reasons (why couldn't Yukako do more in Part 4 ? why was Joseph nerfed in Part 3 ? This series is shit because it doesn't do what I want it to do).

Style is substance, especially for JoJo.

Was this niche thing. Always had elitists because of how generally weird and unappealing it was, and greatly enjoyed the golden meme years with the MUDA MUDA ZA WARUDO thing, back when people thought 4chan could hack vans to explode.

Now because of meme culture, weird and unappealing actually makes people want to get into it. People finally caught on to the massive memery going on with the fanbase thanks in no small part to retards spreading it out, and want a piece of it. Because today being quirky is being cool, what used to be a niche series has unironically become a gateway for normies into anime.

And as we all know, normies destroy all anime they touch by obsessing and tiring everyone out of it.

One of the reasons is the fights.

JoJo has creative fighting using creative abilities. I've yet to see something with battles as creative as the ones in jojo. It's not shounenshit.

The reason JoJo is loved is because it is entertaining.

It reminds me of a Quentin Tarantino movie in the way that it emphasizes style and action, but will give you a tacky/cheesy plot and oddball characters. It is by no means trying to be a piece of art. It is trying to be a piece of entertainment.

It's trying to be amusing. It's not trying to be thought provoking. You have to be able to get past that to understand why people love it.

I just got into it and I'm currently on Stardust Crusaders. I watch 5-6 episodes a day. It's a lot of fun. but....
it's a kinda a turn your brain off show desu.

Jojo is good but I've always made a point to stay the fuck away from other fans even before the anime began.

This endless torrent of fanshit only serves to convince me I made the correct choice. I still can't believe people actually keep forcing fucking Duwang into relevance when it should be long dead and forgotten.

I feel like some of the character writing is legit. Some isn't.

Honestly Johnathan was a pretty one dimensional character. He almost acts as a Heroic Ancestor/Legend when he's mentioned in later arcs. He's like superman. Predictable in his behavior all around good-guy. Vanilla as can be.

Jotaro reminds me of just a kung-fu film hard ass character. Just straight up tough, stern, and almost serious at all times. He though I love his design is pretty one dimensional.

Joseph is the most interesting character. Large part of it being due to his trickster nature. He could keep the audience guessing and entertain them with his style of humor. He could also be serious and pretty badass when he needed to be.

I honestly think they should have kept Sugita as the voice actor in Stardust Crusaders. It would be a lot more entertaining.
>>
>>149347581
This is the case up to a point, but much like Sorachi, Araki gradually becomes a better writer as it goes on. It's hard to look at the majority of Part 5, Part 7, and Part 8 and still act like it's a "turn your brain off" kind of series.
>>
>>149347917
I'm an anime-only for now.
I've only started Stardust Crusaders, which I'm enjoying less than Battle-Tendency.

It's honestly the lack of Sugita. Being a Gintama fan made Battle Tendency amazing to watch.
>>
>>149342777
Are you retarded or pretending to be? There's more people but 99% of those more people will be completely retarded fuckmunchs so finding someone to have quality discussion with will be harder as opposed to before when there was less people, and as such less idiots, to wade through. Just because there's "more" doesn't mean the "more" is as good or better than the amount that was before.
>>
>>149346022
LOL
>>
>>149348074
And you're not retarded because?
>>
>>149347981
The first half of Stardust is honestly the lowest point of Jojo until the first "half" of Part 6. It starts to get better around the time of episode 25-35. The anime also didn't do it any favors because it stretches out a lot of the arcs into two parters when they honestly don't have to be. Keep going with it. I can't promise you it will ever be like Part 2 again, because it won't, but each part is pretty different from one another and the series gets its own unique charm as you go past Part 2.

Jojo fights are great because they create enormous, immediate tension regardless of what abilities are being used/what characters are fighting. Then they get twists that are satisfying because they feel earned. No Araki fight has illogical bullshit. Every twist and turn that happens is hinted at earlier. Araki writes his fights like musical symphonies, building them up and making sure every beat hits its mark. In this way, every villain gets their time to shine, and every Jojo gets to shine even greater when they earn their victory.

If I had to choose whom of the crusaders would NOT be trans at gunpoint and being shot wasn't an option I'd say Polnareff, so he'd be even less a "non-binnary fem"

No but he likes cock and pussy equally

Also since they called Kakyoin a girl shouldn't Jotaro be called a boy since they're the same age?
>Josuke is a girl with a cock
No he's not

Same argument as Polnareff, plus he's poor as fuck, (s)he wouldn't say "LOL i'm feeling like i'm not a boy today Except yes IDK bye"

No he's not

Naruto fights are great because they create enormous, immediate tension regardless of what abilities are being used/what characters are fighting. Then they get twists that are satisfying because they feel earned. No Kishimoto fight has illogical bullshit. Every twist and turn that happens is hinted at earlier. Kishimoto writes his fights like musical symphonies, building them up and making sure every beat hits its mark. In this way, every villain gets their time to shine, and every Chunin gets to shine even greater when they earn their victory.

First of all, unrealistiic physics don't make "illogical bullshit" or else you have to discount every single thing that has ever happened in any anime with fights as "illogical bullshit."

dude, it may not make sense scientifically, but it's pretty logical. hamon gave the eruption so much more power than it should have had, and kars was momentarily distracted by joseph getting lucky and having the rocks (which are shooting out of the volcano with tremendous speed and power and were going to take him by surprise) knock him into space.

EVEN IF YOU IGNORED PHYSICS, WHY WOULDN'T KARS BE ABLE TO SURVIVE GETTING PELTED INTO THE ATMOSPHERE BY ROCKS.

THE ROCKS DON'T HAVE HAMON.
JoJo's severed arm shouldn't have Hamon in it either as it would have lost blood flow and oxygen.

If you ignored everything it's still baffling to think Kars wouldn't be able to react and shield himself from the rocks after considering the fucking survived Lava .
>>

>EVEN IF YOU IGNORED PHYSICS, WHY WOULDN'T KARS BE ABLE TO SURVIVE GETTING PELTED INTO THE ATMOSPHERE BY ROCKS.

He did survive.

Body parts still retain Hamon for a brief time even when cut off from breathing. See Jonathan using Hamon after Dio destroyed his airway and Dire after Dio cut his head off.

>If you ignored everything it's still baffling to think Kars wouldn't be able to react and shield himself from the rocks after considering the fucking survived Lava .

Surviving lava has nothing to do with the possibility of being distracted.

they didn't need any? they were hitting cars with a considerably large amount of force, I doubt they were doing serious damage to him. they didn't need to.

>it's baffling to think he couldn't react and shield himself
if you actually remember the fucking scene correctly, he was burning alive in the lava for a few minutes until he made that armor of bubbles and broke his way out. he was also too busy gloating to joseph about how he could easily fly away and didn't see the arm or the rocks coming. the fucking narrator even says this very fucking clearly.

So Kars got cheesed because of lack of awareness.

Basically the reason Kars got sent into orbit is because he suddenly lost competence and became a baffled retard. I cant imagine the rocks or JoJo's severed hand being more powerful than that lava bath was. Kars could have stopped that even if he couldn't have predicted it. AGAIN THE GOON SURVIVED A LAVA BATH PURELY BY QUICK THINKING, yet he gets outplayed by a torrent of rocks.

I'm a fan of JoJo I've been binge watching it. So much so that I've avoided going outside to hangout with my friends, and exercise.

The only hate boner I have is JoJofags like you trying to defend one of the most illogical/and outlandish series ever written as being something written with complete tact.

I mentioned this earlier but Araki is like Tarantino. He goes for style, he goes for entertainment, everything else second.

It's not about power. It's about shock. Kars was expecting to fall into the lava the moment Stroheim pinned him to the plane. He was already being hurled and the rocks simply compounded the momentum.

>AGAIN THE GOON SURVIVED A LAVA BATH PURELY BY QUICK THINKING, yet he gets outplayed by a torrent of rocks.

And a severed hand suddenly being flung into his chest that explicitly made him unable to dodge the rocks that he'd normally be able to dodge.

>Basically the reason Kars got sent into orbit is because he suddenly lost competence and became a baffled retard. I cant imagine the rocks or JoJo's severed hand being more powerful than that lava bath was

Not that anon but,

Its not about power or damage you moron. He didnt see it coming. If you cant see something coming you cant act to stop it. You could catch a ball easily but if a ball flies towards the back of your head without being aware it doesnt matter how good you are at catching it will surprise and hit you. Get it now retard?

I love jojo for its over the top ridiculousness as well and admit many things dont make sense but in this case your arguments make even less sense.

>>
>>149366044
>It's not about power. It's about shock.
Well it looked like he was dying from that power. Tbh he nearly did. It didn't look like the rocks or JoJo's arm was nearly as painful or as dangerous. I guess he thought he'd live and rather than grow a shield of armor or try to avoid them, he just decided to take the hits unknowingly being sent into orbit
>>149366124
>Its not about power or damage you moron. He didnt see it coming. Get it now retard?
Yeah I guess after the surprise hit from JoJo's arm he wouldn't be on guard expecting more shit to hit him...........
You're such a fool. It was repetitive strikes with rocks too, not just one. His body can react quickly enough for him to escape burning lava all around his body, yet it can't even react to stop repetitive strikes with rocks.

I'm so glad I can enjoy this series without convincing myself it has flawless logic.
>>
>>149366353
>I guess he thought he'd live and rather than grow a shield of armor or try to avoid them,
A shield wouldn't stop him being pushed and he couldn't avoid them BECAUSE OF THE ARM. This is explicitly stated.

You cant even get the details of your claims btw. The arm never hit his chest. they hit his neck.

Also I was still correct. Basically he died because he let his fucking guard down after being attacked. That's still fucking retarded.

It didn't stun him, it just made him turn into a fool who lost the complete ability to defend himself.

I only thought of one example but I'm sure theres others you couldn't defend in the slightest. there's so many battles in the fucking series this isn't going to be the most illogical one.

The dumb thing about this also is that it's sheer luck. JoJo didn't plan the rocks or the arm, Kars literally got unlucky and lost because of it.
>>149366787
Yes Kars lost because he basically failed to react to further attacks.
>>
Can someone explain all the "is this a jojo reference" posts/threads that have been popping up lately?
>>
>>149367043
What the fuck are you going on about? You can lose awareness for a second if something hits you by complete surprise because youre trying to process what the fuck happened. He was still trying to reel in what the fuck happened to him right when the rocks hit him. Thats a natural response its not becoming retarded. It wouldve been retarded if the rocks took longer than they did to hit him because then his confusion wouldve worn off.

one, he did not die. two, he was gloating to joseph and didn't expect the disembodied arm to hit him.

>it didn't stun him
but it very clearly did? the rocks hit him a second later, they wouldn't have if he wasn't hit by the arm

>so many battles in the series, there has to be one illogical one
then, please, name one, since you've failed to do so so far.

>sheer luck
that's literally the point of joseph's character, he even fucking admits this. why are you being so stubborn to the point of autism? do you just like being told you're wrong while knowing you're wrong and shitting up already bad threads?
>>
>>149367249
You would also take a second in your mind to think "WOAH what the fuck hit me and where did it come from?" before you try to defend yourself. Those rocks hit him almost immediately after a flying arm hit his neck. Surprise attacks are effective for a reason and youre being stubbornly autistic.
>>
>>149367378
>>149367496
I don't see how I'm wrong though. It still is illogical. He was hit perfectly by JoJo's arm and rocks through sheer luck.

I'm not wrong at all. If you want I can start nitpicking. Kars could have flown off the rock at the point where it lifted off but he decided to have a monologue with JoJo.

Is that logical? No.

I'm currently watching an episode now where there's some illogical battle going on. The Steely Dan battle to be exact.

>he was hit by it through luck
Anon. Joseph is a character all about being favored by fate, the big thing in JJBA. He wins his fights through luck against vastly stronger opponents, his 'next line is' stuff reinforces his luck and his power of prediction, he survives time and time again through seemingly impossible scenario, etc. Yes, it's luck, but that's the point.

>kars was monologuing
He knew he could fly off the rock any time, he was just first surprised the hamon did that to the volcano, then wanted to sneer at joseph, but did not expect the arm. That's logical. If I had my enemy on the ground and I thought I had a perfect escape, I would probably start bragging too.

One of the things that didn't make sense to me in the steely dan fight is that dan kicks a pot in order to inflict pain on joseph. It looks like Joseph is in severe pain when he does this, but it looks like Steely is unphased by inflicting pain on himself.

That doesn't make sense from a basic standpoint. Dan should have felt a similar level of pain.

>>
>>149368663
>If he isn't
Which never happens unless the tourney is run by idiots. The Pet Shop ban is global, because no one using him ever loses. Like the SRK wiki says
>Petshop, an eagle with a stand. How Bizarre. He is pretty much the guardian of Dio's mansion. Nothing else is to be said. He was beaten by Iggy in the comic book. In the game, however, Petshop is the most broken, and easily abusable character in the game. Which is the reason why he is banned from tourney play. He does not need to block low, his mix-up are stupid, his combos take off more than Kakyoin's, he's butt easier to use than Kakyoin, and he is very hard to hit. Petshop is dumb. Plain and simple.

There is one simple thing that makes stand fights better than nearly all of Joseph's fights, and that is tension. There are other factors, but that's the only one they need to be better. Joseph's fights lose tension very early when you realize that there's no rhyme of reason to the way he wins. He wins through unfathomable levels of bullshit almost every time. He avoids an attack by sticking his arm up his "sleeve" when he's wearing a tanktop. He sticks grenades on a vampire's back when he had no time frame with which to do it. He pulls a tommy gun out of the magic satchel, because there's no fucking way he managed to hide that thing. You can never feel any danger surrounding Joseph's fights because you know he's going to win all of them by use of practical "toon force." It's dumb fun, but that's it. It has no tension, no drama, no variety.

Stands are the reason Jojo has been able to go on as strong as it has. They're genuinely engaging because you, the viewer, can feel involved as you are given the same tools that the protagonist does. You can feel the tension as they do because you understand their limits and the limits of their opponent. You know they probably won't die, but that's a given in nearly every shounen. When Buccellati and Mista are fighting on the train, you know they're not just going to pull some unexplained, reality warping bs, and it makes you actually interested in what they will do to win.

WHY?

>>149369637
Pucci is fucking based, easily the best villain. I hated SO on my first time through but it shot up into my top 3 on a reread. Jolyne is pretty good too, she's the first of the more grounded protagonists Araki tried so she comes off as boring after all the colourful OTT characters before then.

>>149369648
What?

Stand fights have no more or less tension than any pre-stand fights. Stands have the same level of toon force bullshit that Joseph pulls it's just more believable because the concept of stands requires such extreme suspension of disbelief to begin with (a hard requirement for enjoying JoJo I think we can agree)

>unexplained, reality warping bs,
That's pretty much all stands are

Dude was the most proactive Villain by far, in comparison the others let the heroes chill at their house.

Jolyne's great for me since her stand is truly shit tier compared to the powers of the three before her but she gets super creative uses out of it, she's also often drawn as fighting WITH her stand, kicked C-Moon in the face.
>>
>>149369834
>reality warping
Literally only the time Stands are like that and they're saved for main villains and Jotaro. The rest are all fairly grounded for the most part and are based off of shit from horror movies.

>unexplained
Same with Hamon, Stands at least have their origins explained in 5.
>>
>>149369789
Hmm, maybe it's worth a reread then.

Thanks Anon

>>149369847
It's funny that was one of my favorite things about her but like >>149369789 said she came off as boring despite that. It's definitely much more refreshing than the previous "punch opponent 5 million times in 10 seconds because we're so stronk" MC stands
>>
>>149369834
The difference is that stands literally are super powers, and specified ones at that. The suspension of disbelief is not taxing. Joseph's toon force is because he has no fucking super powers that would allow him to pull the kind of shit he does. Hamon can not and does not even attempt to cover all the shit he does. Stands aren't realistic, but that's not the point. The point is that they're well defined super powers. Joseph's limits have no definition because his solutions break the reality of his own fucking universe. It's almost 4th wall breaking tier. If you can't understand the difference between super powers doing specific supernatural things that they've been explained to do, and Joseph unapologetically warping reality to do things he should not be capable of doing, then you need to go get checked for mental retardation.
>>
>>149369834
Individual Stands actually have defined limits unlike Ripple which is just whatever you need at the time. You personally don't have to like them but from a storytelling perspective they're objectively superior which is why Araki went down that route and introduced them.

Are you guys arguing over Joseph's ability to always hold convinient items and the ridiculous forthought both he and the pillarmen put into fights?

Because as far as Ripple he mostly just oils shit up, part 1 characters were far more magical with it.
>>
>>149370099
It comes off as obnoxious when he just magically pulls out grenades or whatever for the fifth time. Part of what makes BT good is that it doesn't outstay it's welcome and is very short, if it had been any longer then it would have gotten annoying rather than charming. Still not as good as 4 onwards though imo.

If you're saying this just because the anime only fags are at that part 4 now, you're part of the problem you elitist. I wait for Part 7 to get animated so you'll say it's shit too.

Why /a/ is filled with so many people lie you I'll never understand.

It sucks so much to see this happen with series that previously didn't get a lot of flak when you talked about them. It happened with OPM too.

Not a headcanon if it goes against canon. Then it's just fucking wrong. Dio is bi.
>>
>>149373247
I could see him being bisexual but more inclined (or even exclusively) to be romantically attracted towards men. There were only two people other than his mother he ever truly cared about, and both of them were men. He clearly didn't feel anything for the women he ate and/or fugged.

Even then, Araki said that Dio could never truly and wholesomely love anyone, even if he convinced them and himself otherwise. Makes you almost feel a little bad for him, really.
>>
Diamond Unbreakable is basically a filler slideshow at this point, too many unnecessary characters that add nothing to the story popping out of nowhere and way too many pointless episodes that lead to nothing.

And how funny they just run into 'stand users' out of the blue, with the stupidest explanation i've ever heard.
Worst of all it had no goal what so ever before they discovered kira, and even after they do they still tend to take the camera off the important characters and focus on the pointless side kicks.

Yeah, it's not amazing but it's not notably any worse than the other threads. Look at the Dangan Ronpa ones, the waifufaggotry is even worse than in JoJo threads. And people are genuinely at each others throats over which characters they do or don't like, there aren't really any controversial JoJo characters that spark bullshit morality-debates.

Well, there was one, but thankfully that's died down.

The Rohan one-shots are debatably canon, but part 4 definitely isn't. And Tonio claimed that his stand manifested by itself (Like Polnareff, Kakyoin and Avdol) so it'd make him a liar, which seems odd given how honest he seemed to be about everything else.

The claims might not be the whole truth to begin with. Some people have no idea of what the fuck happened when the arrow pierces them.
>>
>>149374420
Didn't Angelo, Tamami and Yukako all give accounts of being shot with the arrow, though?

And Polnareff was definitely a stand-user as a kid, given he could use Silver Chariot when Alessified.
>>
Why do people like Part 4 so much?

Josuke and Okuyasu are unrelatable and not entertaining main characters. Koichi is a total wimp. Jotaro is his same old self (so nothing special character wise) and Old Joseph is a senile waste.

None of the fights feel particularly 'high stakes' and almost all of them come straight down to cheesy solutions.

Even though Kira is an interesting villain the whole arc seems like it only exists to establish the arrows as plot items and that's it.

It just feels like totally inconsequential filler and I dont find myself invested in any of the character's stories.

>>149374575
>Josuke and Okuyasu are unrelatable and not entertaining main characters
What? I would say Josuke is one of the most relatable Jojos. He's just an average teenage kid who goes to school, plays video games, hangs out with friends, wants money to buy stupid teenager things like new sneakers.
>Koichi is a total wimp
Did you stop watching the show early on? The whole point is that Koichi grows from a wimp to someone with confidence. Just compare him in the first episodes to the scene in the hospital during Highway Star. He's completely changed.
>Jotaro is his same old self
Mostly but now instead of being the main character, he's the mentor figure and it works much better honestly. As a main character, you want more than just a stoic delinquent who spouts 1 liners. But in DiU, he acts as the cool older strong guy who teaches Josuke and has the younger, more experienced Stand users' backs.
>Old Joseph is a senile waste
Joseph already had two parts to shine, he doesn't need a third. He is in Part 4 so Josuke could meet his father and get closure on that part of his life and that's more than enough
>>

Just got done reading Part 5 and I don't understand why this character even existed. Worst part is I knew he was never going to do anything because there were already too many characters, same thing happened with Abdul in Part 3. Does Araki get better about this in later parts or does he still keep writing useless characters that he then has to write out because he couldn't think of anything to do with them.
