I don't understand why Part 4 is so liked here on /a/. Its

part 3 is the filler you retard

>>151734321
The story is weak through all of Jojo, what is truly good is how charismatic the characters are and the moments that they create. All of Jojo is "stand of the week" kinda of thing. But everything in part 4 is bland, with the exception of a few episodes. Thats why i don't get why /a/ likes it so much.

>>151734383
They don't think it's bland, obviously.

>>151734383
the stands in part 4 are like, unarguably superior to most of part 3's

Everyone remembers D'arby, Pet Shop and Hol Horse but they forget about the loads and loads of shit ones like Yellow Temperance, Divine Bastet, the one that turns you into a baby and the bug on the plane

Stardust Crusaders is the most long-winded and filler-y part of all of Jojo, this isn't up for debate

I still don't understand whats is the value of Okuyasu and Koichi. In Part 3, even Iggy had a powerful impact in the story and gave me feels that Part 4 couldn't. And this is a shame, because Kyra had a good potential, but he didn't appear for 30 chapters.

You could say the same about DIO, but through the whole anime theres the menance of him and when he finally appears it was worth

>Watching / reading Jojo for the story and not for the fights

I bet you're one of those cretins who says that videogames shouldn't have gameplay.

>>151734767
Even the fights were terrible in this part. Anything in part 3 and 5 are better.

>>151734737
>I still don't understand whats is the value of Okuyasu and Koichi

And I dont understand the value of Kakyoin and Avdol. It all comes down to your personal opinion, I didnt give a shit about half the characters in SC and part 4 gave me the feels part 3 couldn't.

>>151734833
While I may agree about Part 5 having better fights, even the worst Part 4 fight is still better than any of Part 3's pre-Egypt fights (except for Hanged Man)

>>151735032
And thats why i said that the part 4 is bland. Kakyion had to sacrifice himself in an awesome scene to discover DIO's powers and Avdol death, alongside with Iggy was one tof the most emotional scenes in any anime that i can remember.

And the little things... Man, the moment when Avdol start saying "TSK, TSK" was memorable as hell, Kakyoin and Jotaro's moms and with the cherry. All these things work to create amazing moments, and to me, this is the strongest part of jojo. Not the plot, but the little things.

In Part 4 nothing really stays with you. Okuyasu is dumb? I didn't see anything that truly showed that, just people saying it. i don't even know what is the personality trait that Koichi has...

And kira barelly appeared. I thought that Angelo and that dude that attacked Joseoh's boat were a lot more important than he was.

>>151735034
Joseph against his wart was better than anything in part 4

How exactly? Each Jojo part is its own specific story.

It follows the search for kira, it also details josukes and okuyasu day to day life.

each part has its own cons but seriously in part 4 everything up to the end of rhcp/akira was filler

>>151737206
You are straight up dumb.

>>151737029
Why are people so afraid of reading something that isn't good? Life isn't always good. You need some bad stuff to balance it out.

part 4 is a comfy slice of life, it's exactly what I want out of my jojo but for an entire part instead of just moments in between the more serious "gotta catch that fucker." The most serious it ever gets is stopping a serial killer, which while not something to be ignored is by far the lowest stakes in the entirety of Jojo.

I just marathoned all of Diamond is Unbreakable.

Honestly, Shigechi getting murdered was far too early in the story. It really puts a bad taste in your mouth for the tone of the show. It gets you all ready to hate Kira, but then they spend another 20 episodes mucking around with Rohan.

Maybe it wasn't supposed to bother me as much as it did, but Shigechi was just an innocent kid who gets horribly murdered, and it put a real damper on the comfy slice-of-life fun.

>>151737535
The problem is that you can't kill him off too much later, or else you end up with some weird pacing where they manage to find out Kosaku Kawajiri is Kira only 5-6 episodes after he escapes through Cinderella.
Sure, you can add it little quips of "It's been x weeks since Shigechi died" but it will still feel oddly paced.

>>151737206

1/8. Try harder

>not liking all parts

>>151737685
Yeah, it feels like when Avdol initially just got killed in a street fight in the first third of Stardust Crusaders. Araki must just like killing characters off early like that, and he was actually able to do it in DiU. It was still upsetting.

>>151737320
Equal to 7 right now

>>151737535
Araki wanted to kill Shiegechi off soon after his introduction to avoid a situation where people become too attached to the character for them to stay dead, a la Avdol

What was the saddest part in all of Jojo?

I think part 3 is more entretaiment but part 4 has beter characters and plot, which is the important thing in a story.

Part 5 has good battles, but characters that take themselfs seriously even if they are just empty boxes.

Part 3: 7.5/10
Part 4: 7.6/10
Part 5: 6.5/10

Why was part 5 so fucking sad?

About part 6, some battles are shit, but Jolyne is the best JoJo of the first universe, pucci was a slave but a profundizated villain in the same time and it has a plot that keeps progressing without hesitation, probably the second best part.

-if you skip it cause bruh boring stuff glad you blow ur head with a fucking bazooka.

Would Part 4 have been better if Oku died and Keicho lived and became the brojo?

>>151740720
Some characters like abacchio, fugo or even bruno has seriously cruel pasts, but there aren't really interesting characters. In the first 4 parts they weren't too much characters with motivation pasts and all that shit because they were bizarre and simple characters. Part 5 tries to do something but it wasn't necesary. At least it was a good attemp,

>>151740808
I guess Okuyasu dying would cause Keicho to try and change his ways and help Josuke but it's better the way it is now.

I'm someone who wants to start JoJo and I was just wondering if the anime is a good adaption or not. Keep in mind that as soon as I finish the latest animated part of JoJo I plan on reading from where the anime left off.

>>151740855
I'm really not sure what you mean

>>151740855
Parts 1 and 2 had plenty of motivation, it was just 3 and 4 that fell off the map a bit with that. Jonathan, Joseph, Lisa Lisa, the Zeppelis, all had very strong motives

>>151740951
>it was just 3 and 4 that fell off the map a bit with that

how so

>>151740914
Anime covers first 4 parts for now. I'd recommend watching the 2012 anime(first 2 parts) and after that continue the series with the part 3 manga.

Part 3's adaptation is fucking terrible. Part 4's anime is way better but still not as good as the manga.

Jotaro and Joseph both have strong motives in Holly's plot excuse illness that never comes up in the series again

Avdol gets a pass for running for his life from DIO

Kakyoin is pretty weak until his death, as much as I like his character. He tags along because Jotaro saves his life but he doesn't feel like he has much desire outside of "one of the crusaders"

Polnareff is interesting. He points out his reasons loud and clear and actually leaves until Avdol's death Top Kak saves him, but after Hanged Man is defeated he just feels like one of the guys.

Okuyasu doesn't have much motivation after RHCP. He wants to help his friends but doesn't have a strong reason.

Koichi believes in doing the right thing which is a plain motive which isn't terrible.

Jotaro it gets questionable why he is there in between the Rats and Atom Heart Father, given the arrow had been recovered and sent to the Speedwagon Foundation.

Rohan feels less like he is doing this for Reimi but more for fun. I dunno.

Josuke suffers the worst of everyone. The biggest flaw of his character is the same as Part 3 Jotaro: He feels less like a character and more like the main fighter to move the plot along. He starts strong as a character with Angelo but just slowly becomes the guy who fights things. He doesn't really develop. Koichi had the most development, but everyone else had more than Josuke.

Part 5 is going to happen at 2018 so let's factor in how long the parts in between parts took
October 5, 2012 and April 5, 2013 had PB and BT
Stardust Crusaders was announced in 2013 but only started airing and April 4, 2014 and went to June 19, 2015
DiU started April 1, 2016 and ended December 23, 2016
VA is shorter than DiU because of the lack of filler and more fighting than SoL so that will possibly take less than a year
the time in between jojo parts is getting shorter so SO will probably be made in 2019 (if VA ends by then)
SO is fairly lenghty so will take maybe a year
so hypothetically SBR should come out in 2021

>>151741241
Avdol was just morally good, really.
>Kakyoin is pretty weak until his death, as much as I like his character. He tags along because Jotaro saves his life but he doesn't feel like he has much desire outside of "one of the crusaders"
That's the entire point. Kakyoin was introverted his whole life and felt no actual connection with any other person until Jotaro saved his life despite him being an enemy, it was the first time he ever had friends.
You don't really find this out until right before his death, that's true, but looking back knowing that makes a lot of his parts in the story stand out more.
>
Polnareff is interesting. He points out his reasons loud and clear and actually leaves until Avdol's death Top Kak saves him, but after Hanged Man is defeated he just feels like one of the guys.
I don't feel that way. I feel like the idea is that Polnareff was just moving on from his revenge.
And all his friends pursue DIO. The man who took control of him by force.
>Okuyasu doesn't have much motivation after RHCP. He wants to help his friends but doesn't have a strong reason.
He's an idiot and a follower
>Jotaro it gets questionable why he is there in between the Rats and Atom Heart Father, given the arrow had been recovered and sent to the Speedwagon Foundation.
Well if the implication is that he lived over-seas which is how Jolyne is American, then he was just hanging around in his home country being away from home like usual.
He also probably feels some kind of responsibility

>>151741433
>that last bit about jotaro.
He's there to find out who is the stand user that's killing in morioh. And idk I guess find more Info about the arrow hoping kira knew something I guess. My last bit is pure speculation.

Watching part 3 for the first time, does it ever get more fucked up than the shadow guy turning the egyptian chick into a fetus? It's pretty gross.

You're not entirely wrong. Jotaro and Josuke are both rather static characters.
I disagree with you on Jotaro simply because I feel like a lot of people have some kind of bias against any sort of stoic character, and he's amazing at being exactly that.
Josuke sort of seems like he's supposed to be this amazing combination of the past 3 major Joestars. Especially Joseph.
Josuke's motivation is literally his grand-father's death, where he does his inheriting for the whole story. Taking on the 'job of protecting his town'.
Araki gives him a lot of great character moments very early, and then part 4 segways in SoL more heavily so he becomes more comical and action hero-y. Like the idea is that in a town filled with teenage stand users there's someone with legit hero blood to take on people like serial killers

Everything else I can't really say more about

>>151741391

i'll give you that the beginning of part 4 isn't that exciting but once it gets going it doesn't stop

and what do you mean kira is barely in it? he shows up for at least a little bit in almost every arc after his reveal. if anything DIO is the one who's barely there in part 3.

It gets overrated a lot here. There are too many characters, to the point that Josuke himself feels less like a protagonist and more like a side-character. It's kind of sad that an 8 year old kid with no Stand that gets introduced two-thirds of the way into the story is a more dynamic and interesting character than any of the heroes except maybe Rohan. Seriously, Okuyasu does fuck-all from the moment he's introduced except job to Red Hot Chili Pepper and eat Tonio's food. Koichi and Jotaro don't do anything between fighting Sheer Heart Attack and delivering the coup de grace to Kira. Joseph just hangs out for the entire manga. And then there are characters like Yuuya, Mikitaka and Hazamada who are inexplicably given one-shot roles as allies and then totally forgotten about. The plot also meanders a lot. As much as people harp on Part 3 for being "stand user of the week", Part 4 is much worse with this. In Part 3, there was a constant sense of progression as the group got closer and closer to Dio on their journey. In Part 4, there isn't really an overarching goal until halfway through the story, and it winds up getting put on pause a lot in spite of that. Most of the manga is spent watching the characters aimlessly wander around and get into fights with enemy stand users.

But, Part 4 easily has the best villain in the entirety of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and it also has some of the most iconic arcs and scenes. Kira being such a great character is kind of a double-edged sword though, with the protagonists being such weak characters overall. It makes his defeat a lot less cathartic than it should have been. I think most people probably empathize with Kira more than they should, simply because he's far more interesting and realized than any of the other characters in the manga.

It may get overrated, but I'd really only put Steel Ball Run and Stardust Crusaders above it. I know I'll get shit on for the latter though, because hating Part 3 is a meme here.

Same thing happened in part 5 to Giorno, Bruno took the spotlight A LOT from GioGio

They did, yes.

Excuse the ass quality video.

>>151741758
Giogio was so underutilized it's criminal. Being half dio was mentioned a few times but went nowhere. Truly arakis weakest protag.

>>151741797
the Jotaro Koichi side-plot in the beginning with Giorno being half Dio going nowhere was weird. Jotaro hears one report from Koichi about black Sabbeth and he just assumes everything is good and they fuck off so Bruno and Mista can carry most of the part

>>151736052
I know you're trying to shitpost, and that's an incredible oversimplification, but honestly that's where JoJo excels.

Araki wasn't great at characterization and storytelling until Steel Ball Run, but he's always been a master at creating memorable scenes and moments.

>>151741727
>Koichi and Jotaro don't do anything between Sheer heart Attack and the finishing blow

Jotaro is the one who trapped Kira's Dad in the photo.

Now that Part 4 is done airing is it cool to like Part 3 again

>>151741966
Yeah, these faggots are fake as shit

>>151741758
The difference is that Bruno stepped up to the point of essentially usurping the role of protagonist, and Mista was pretty consistent as a deuterogonist. Everyone else stayed consistent in their roles as side characters.

In Part 4 the cast essentially plays hot potato with their roles. You can argue that Koichi is the protagonist, the deuterogonist or a supporting character in different parts of the story. Same with Rohan.

Does Josuke have good characterization

The ending fight in part 6 was really depressing, just seeing pucci get stronger and stronger and more uncontrollable with everyone doing everything in their power to stop him to no avail was crushing.
I think jolyne is the worst jojo since she was the only one who failed and let every die in the process. But that made it even sadder too.

>>151742017
Josuke doesn't think evil people should be left to suffer and die
but he also doesnt want to get mud on his thousands of yens worth of clothing
he also will trick some dumb fat kid into making money for him and try to scam him as an idea man
he also would absolutely throw himself into danger for a friend no matter what

so he's all over the place

>>151741727
Even the filler scenes have a reason and purpose though. When it segways into the more goofy side it builds up the town itself, Morioh feels like a concrete and interesting place. In part 3, before they get to Egypt it's just random places no one gives a fuck about they move inbetween just to fight people there and move again.

The only true filler is, like, surface (garbage) and tonio (which is fantastic filler). Everything else serves a purpose. Whether it's Josuke thinking up new ways to use his abilities which end up incorporated in the Kira fight or introducing concepts and characters that are reincorporated into the main arcs because everything has a point and has interesting side stories used to foreshadow them subtly whereas in part 3 you can watch the start then skip significant parts of the story and it doesn't matter. If you skipped portions of part 4 you'd have no idea about the callbacks or even a slight understanding of most of the shit in the final fight is. Skip straight to the DIO fight in part 3 from the start after the crew gets together and the most you'll wonder is "where's avdol?"

Not to say that after they get to Eygpt part 3 isn't a fun ride.

>since she was the only one who failed

Jonathan died
Joseph got lucky
Josuke nearly died and was basically lucky Okuyasu showed up alive, then everyone else came and cleaned up for him
Johnny couldn't defeat Dio in the end.

Only Jotaro and Giorno seal the deal on a personal level, and half their groups die before they do.

>>151742053
Her crew all died, but everyone else in the world was fine. The whole point of getting killed by MiH was that it meant permanent death and not looping around to know your fate.

Having an actual story with characters that feel somewhat like actual people would be nice. It would add impact and meaning to all of those wacky fights, instead of just "oh, wow, that's pretty weird. Huh."

Jojofags probably couldn't handle anything that wasn't Point A to Point B, with obnoxious memes in the middle, though.

I never fathomed why Giorno didn't just cover himself with various worms, parasites and insects. That way, most everybody would be too disgusted to touch him, and even if they did, the damage would be reflected back. Even if King Crimson tried to donut WormGiorno, he'd end up donuting himself.

At least Sabagebu had characters; Jojo just has automatons that state Araki's inane observations at random. There's not many things you're going to find with less interesting characters and plot than Jojo though; I could've posted a picture of anything.

Is there anything more pathetic than a Jojofag?

>>151742093
You wouldn't know what the fuck is going on because the actual plot doesn't start until halfway through the story, like I said. I wouldn't argue that as being a good thing, honestly. I wouldn't argue that a plot having a clear ending from the onset is a bad thing, either. You could apply your asinine logic to oversimplify a lot of stories. The Lord of the Rings for example. Skip straight to Frodo throwing the ring into Mount Doom from the start after he and Sam leave Hobbiton and the most you'll wonder is "where's Gandalf?"

I do like how the story seems to flow and evolve somewhat naturally at points, but you're over-exaggerating everything being foreshadowing and having a point. The only things that really get introduced in "side-arcs" and brought into the main arc are Cinderella and Stray Cat. Minor characters like Yuuya and Mikitaka getting brought back for one-offs kind of robs from the main cast, as I already explained. Even if it adds to the atmosphere I don't feel it's justified when the cast is already spread as thin as it is.

I agree with some of what you're saying, but honestly Araki has proven that he doesn't need meaningful characterization to generate emotion and impact. Araki is a genius when it comes to building a scene.

Shigechi was a terrible little shit, but his death scene had more emotion and impact than most anime have in their entirety.

>the actual plot

The problem with what you were saying and why I used the argument I did was that you argued that the filler in part 3 is better because they had a set destination from the outset, when in reality that matters very little until the very end. It's just moving from spot to spot to have random ass encounters with shitty stands until they get to egypt and narrow their search down and only then does it become interesting.

There are plenty of call backs to previous arcs in the various attacks Josuke uses, the hands in the alleyway, Alleyway hands, Riemi getting the final blow, Kira's dad, Shinobu waiting and a plethora of other shit that comes back in the very end. There's a few side characters that only ever come back for various side character roles but the focus is still primarily on Josuke, Koichi and Rohan. Shigechi is integral, yukako leads to Cinderella and has her and Koichi's side story close, Cheap Trick is used to remind the viewers of the alleyway and Riemi for the finale fight, RHCP is in and of itself a multiple chapter arc and an "actual plot" and can't be counted as filler.

The story naturally progresses from one spot to the next except in surface and Tonio's where it leads to literally nothing. The one off characters are a fuck of a lot better than most of DIO's mooks from part 3.

The main cast I feel is spread fine, Joseph rightly doesn't do much at his old age, Jotaro plays just enough of the mentor character to leave an impact without overshadowing anyone, the one off characters don't take up much time but leave an impact, Koichi gets plenty of development, Rohan while still being a cunt softens and shows his resolve, Josuke is no more developed than any other jojo that isn't jolyne or johnny, Hayato in his short time becomes a great charcter and so on. Oku's the only one you can really argue doesn't get developed enough.

you big fat motherfucker, you're not alone.

I've been watching part 1 to 3 since december of last year and I'm just fucking dissapointed. I just finished ep 10 of DiU and the chef guy was ok but the whole fucking thing was boring. I don't understand why so many anons suck jojo cock. Yu-Gi-Oh is the better wtf-moments-school-life manga. my guess is that all this praise comes from anons who'd never heard of Jojo before the anime was announced. what? has 90% of /a/ never played Jump Ultimate Stars? or any of the vidya that featured Jojo? because that's how I discovered it.

and please someone tell me when does the plot of part 4 starts, okayasu and koichi are neat to watch but I'm fucking tired of waiting for something worthwhile to happen..

>>151742123
That's wrong, though. The normal universe was saved and nothing really changed that wasn't caused by Pucci. Jonathan still died on the boat, Joseph still accidentally a Kars into space, Jotaro still killed Dio. Jolyne just has a different name for some reason and didn't get framed and sent to prison. Even the souls of the people killed by MiH were brought back because Pucci wasn't able to complete the loop. The only difference is that part 6 never happened.

Look man it certainly can come down to preference but jojo part 4 is liked by many because it is the story of a town that feels like a living being. Thus the villian, who can be somewhat sympathized with, is problematic in his nature. He inherently kills in his quest for peace of mind. I get that you like SC because it has high stakes and emotional bonds. It certainly did define the shonen genre for the next twenty or so years but jojos part 4 explores a new level of creative emotional involvement with a developed world. Josuke is a kid who cares for his home and wants most people to be at peace. His interests and emotional responsibility towards his friends are the driving force for Araki's first real take on raw emotion that is not strictly formed from a shonen style fight. You can certainly also look at Rowan and josukes rivalry as a reference towards Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice as the Rowan's hatred is not unlike Shylocks. There's a lot to find in this work and it's a shame that people view it as a shonen when it really is more than that.

Either the editors said no or Araki thought that having a woman character in love with a female character then becoming a male character in another timeline so he could finally get with a woman would be kind of offensive so he decided to make him a man from the beginning. We'll probably never know, not until Araki is an ancient husk of a man and no longer works for Shueisha and publishes a book talking about his years working on JJBA and mentions what happened there.

The first thing that Polnareff tells them is that he knows a way to defeat him.
When we actually says that if he can give the arrow to the gang they win, as long as Diavolo can't get it before them.
They all team up to get the arrow from Diavolo before he uses it, and Giorno uses it first, then win.
It's not more of an asspull than a volcanic eruption that hits the right spots, "same type of stand", or Kira being an autist shouting his name in the middle of the street and talking out loud all the time

None of the guys standing in the way had any longer-lasting effect on the story besides the two heel-face turns and Hol Horse. You can eliminate their stories and nothing would change, which is pretty much the definition of filler material. In fact, that's what the OVAs did with Stardust Crusaders.

Meanwhile in Diamond, less than half of the Stand Masters are dispensable.

>>151748332
>Part 3 has them progressing towards their goal
But it didn't? It was literally just random enemy of the day until they got to egypt, then random enemy of the day until they got to DIO. Pretty much none of the minor villains had any impact on the story at all, but in part 4 almost every minor villain comes back and contributes to the story in some way.

You really don't know what filler is do you?

I just like Part 8 because every single Stand User has been valuable to the story so far

tbqh this is a great point. In Part 3 they're at least constantly working towards one goal from beginning to end. Part 4 just kinda muddles around with different stand users until Kira shows up and the show decides to have a plot.

These are also fine, but it's harder to actually care considering the characters aren't particularly interesting.

>>151749990
>The characters are completely underdeveloped or unlikable half the time
Yeah for like, parts 1-3 and even then that's going off lightly. What do you mean they're unlikable? Not every single character needs development to be a good character, but the characters from 4-8 are fucking brilliant with how memorable they are and how fun it is to read the story and read their adventures.

I have never seen JoJo but want to. Is it good? What am I in for?

>>151750016
I really fucking hate Koichi and the fact that he takes up time that could be spent on Okuyasu is what I mean.

>>151750057
Don't listen to the memes, just start with the anime and make your way up to the manga. You're in for a series with really fun adventures, fantastic characters and from part 3 onwards some of the greatest fights in manga.

Also get out before you're spoiled, general consensus is that parts 1-3 are great but every part after is much better. Don't skip any parts though.

BREAKDOWN BREAKDOWN

>>151750073
That's just one character and while I agree I wish Okuyasu got more time I think Koichi was a great character. Doesn't mean all the other characters in the series are unlikable though, like seriously.

I absolutely love it, it's my favorite series of all time, but even still, I can't call it good. Its writing is subpar at best, the characters rarely get development if ever, plot elements are introduced and then never brought up again, characters change designs and even genders at random, it's just very all over the place.
Even still, it's so much fun. It has by far the most fun community/memes out of any manga community I've ever seen and really the whole thing is such a fun journey I can't not recommend it. I love Jojo so much for so many reasons, but like I said, if you're picky and want a good story, Jojo isn't that. It's just a bizarre, whacky adventure.

>>151750057
I've only been into it for a year and it became my favourite manga franchise of all time. A lot of people have trouble getting past the first chapter despite it only being 10 episodes but it's worth it. Watch the anime until you can't resist switching to the manga to read the next parts.

That doesn't excuse it from being poor writing, though. Sure, it's thirty years old, that's fine and all. It still has shit writing, though.

>>151750701
Parts 1-3 has shit writing, people don't give enough credit for how great the writing is from parts 4 onwards. Kira and Pucci are some of the best written villains in general, and parts 7-8 have had some REALLY great storytelling in them as well as Araki's characterization steadily improving.

I don't get it, is this the new meme? "I like JoJo b-but the writing is 100% shit, like, worse than your average shounen!" Do people say this to not sound embarassed that they're jojofags?

>>151734088

>>151750746
No, the writing is just plain shit. Araki forgets so many things and starts so many plot points that don't go anywhere. People that deny Jojo being shit are the cancer in the community. Why's it so hard just to admit the writing is garbage?

>>151734383
Part 5 is basically filler desu I don't want it to be adapted. Lets just skip to part 6 so we can get Part 7 faster

>>151750766
>The writing is just plain shit
>Araki forgets so many things and starts so many plot points that don't go anywhere
Why don't you give some examples and explain how they detract fully from the overall story to make the parts irredeemably shit and garbage?

>>151750825
Araki just has a habit of focusing on one central storyline and going along that. That's fine and dandy, but it's usually extremely straightforward. The genius in Araki's writing is in the fights, and how the characters and Stands use science in really creative and crazy ways, and I love that. But the overall writing and story becomes VERY straightforward and bland as a result. Most of the parts can be summed up with "find out who main villain is, fight some people until the main cast gets to the main villain, fight main villain." There's little to no side stories and when Araki actually tries to make a side story or develop a character, like say, Yukako and Koichi's relationship, it feels extremely forced and underdeveloped.
It's like Araki has so many ideas but has no idea how to write them into the story. I've never once felt sad about a death in Jojo just because I feel like I barely even got to know the characters.
It's just everything being underdeveloped, mostly.

>>151750912
Firstly, thanks for actually taking the time to give some examples and not shitpost.
>But it's usually extremely straightforward
I'd argue against that, even in part 5 the objective changes quite a bit throughout the story and it's the 2nd most battle-heavy part. Part 4 felt somewhat aimless but most of the time it was to build up the town of Morioh and help us care for the characters in it by characterizing them as normal people, when Kira came into the fray the part became a lot more of a mystery. Part 6 focused much more on the villain than the average part, and for the most of the part it wasn't just "Beat Pucci", it actually felt like an adventure with a lot of turns thanks to how Araki brilliantly wrote Part 6 with making the story both focus on Jolyne and Pucci himself. Part 7 as well is a great example of Araki's prowess of a writer: The main goal of SBR is in the title itself, the race, but the race really becomes sidetracked to focus on the characters which it does pretty damn well with added elements of the corpse and many minor villains that actually characterise the protagonists through the fights themselves (E.g. Mandom, Civil War, Tattoo-You!)

Part 8 is by far the best example of Araki's writing and I'd completely go against your point of Araki's writing not being anything special because part 8 is one of the best manga I've read so far in terms of how well Araki handles the story. He doesn't give too much away with each chapter but he always expands on something whilst leaving many trails and hints along the way to make speculating what'll happen next a fucking blast. An example that comes to mind is how Araki wrote Gappy's description of Yotsuyu as him somehow being able to have a feeling that Yotsuyu was the kind of scummy person who'd do anything to get a higher position over someone during a confrontation. Fastforward about 25 chapters later and you've got Yotsuyu taking Karera hostage in a pretty rape-esque fashion.

Not him but Araki definitely forgets lots of things that make me question his writing and if he even plans ahead. Just re-read part 5 recently so I'll just list some examples from the top of my head

>Gold Experiences disorientation punch
>Gold Experience damage reflection
>Polpo eats his fingers which is left unexplained (perhaps he was planned as a vampire which is why he stays indoors, is giant, has spooky eyes, ect)
>Fugo plot line was dropped
>Bruno punching his past self is left unexplained (can be interpreted as Diavolo lending Bruno his power)
>forgot that stands can't be harmed by anything else that isn't a stand which he does in other parts as well

cont.
>There's little to no side stories/They feel extremely forced when they do happen
Maybe in part 4 but most of the interactions and showings of relationships are done through how the crew interact with eachother. Like, part 4's one of the best examples for having a group that actually all knows eachother and are shown repeatedly. Part 5 does this well too with the whole gang aspect and a lot of silly little scenes that really show that the group are not only together, but pretty young too.

Something I'd point out to completely disagree with you however is that from part 7 onwards, Araki handled character relationships like a champ. Gyro and Johnny have one of the best relationships in general because they are characterised so much through their little interactions and the friendship between them feels absolutely genuine.

Keep in mind though that Parts 1-6 were pretty much done decades ago, Araki has improved significantly as a writer with parts 7 and 8 alone, but even then the way he characterises characters in parts 4-6 is great.
>I've never once felt sad about a death in JoJo because I feel like I barely even got to know the characters
Honestly not sure why you'd feel that, different strokes I guess but I found it very hard not to feel sad during deaths like Bruno's, the part 6 gang's or Gyro's death.
>>151751150
A lot of these don't really effect the story in a huge way though aside from Fugo, which I'll give you. PHF does a really damn good job of tying his character up though. I'm not saying Araki is perfect but discrediting all his great work because of some retcons really is dumb.

Introduces Reimi, starts the main plot of DiU
>Harvest
Some time for Josuke/Okuyasu to be mates, introduces Shigechi
>Cinderella
Yukako/Koichi development, introduces Aya who's very important for later
>Wants A Quiet Life
Introduces Kira, Shigechi's death
>Sheer Heart Attack
Echoes Act 3, Jotaro and Koichi development, second fight with the major antagonist, death of Aya, Kira escapes as Kawajiri
>Atom Heart Father
Introduces Yoshihiro, continues the investigation into the killer
>Boy 2 Man
Filler fight, but around this arc we see the Kawajiri household, introducing Hayato
>Earth Wind and Fire
Introduces Mikitaka, develops Rohan and Josuke a bit
>Highway Star
More Josuke and Rohan, introduces Yuya
>Stray Cat
Introduces Gatta, more time with with Hayato and the general dynamic of Kira's new life
>Superfly
Filler fight, bit of development for Mikitaka
>Enigma
Like Superfly, but for Yuya instead
>My Dad is Not My Dad
Hayato's arc, build up to Bites the Dust
>Cheap Trick
Hints to how Kira is ultimately defeated
>Bites the Dust
Beginning of the finale
>Crazy Diamond is Unbreakable

Another anon explained it better if you take 'erasing time' less literally. Epitaph predicts what everyone would be doing for the next 10 or so seconds if KC didn't activate. Then everyone is locked into doing that except for Diavolo, and their memories get fucked with so they don't notice. You can interpret it as 'time gets deleted from their consciousness'.

I can't speak for the whole community but I'm fairly certain it's not because we want people to specifically and only read jojo and all the parts
for the most part it's just that you're missing out on so much great shit
>Part 1
Phantom Blood was great and established Dio as a real piece of shit that you can hate, and had some great fights (albeit with some not-so memorable characters Dire )
>Part 2
Battle Tendency holds a lot of people's favourite Jojo (Joseph) and just watching all the insane shit that he does and all the fights with the Pillar men, and Cyborg Nazi's ect. is just a really fun time
>Part 3
Stardust Crusaders is lenghty but it was the first introduction of stands and (in the Manga at least) Dio's world was fucking fantastic and you really should check it out if you don't mind a bit of Villain-of-the-Week type filler
>Part 5
It's my second favourite but you should really wait til the scans are fully finished for the best experience cause some of the translations currently are fucking trash (still a great part with some of my favourite characters)
>Part 7
Steel Ball Run is honestly the best jojo part if you ask me, it's more realistic than the rest but it genuinely has some of the best character development (i.e. Johnny turning into a straight up murderer) I've read in any form of literature
so please, if you're not baiting, I implore you to check out the other parts
