I don't see it, they have four chapters to put into the episodes next week. (the fight plus another chapter).
Not really, he only need to see if the tension was at maximum and have the chocolate melt, Joseph cheating only sped up the process.
but if Joseph hadn't cheated, his coin would have gone in when it was his turn since he filled it only to reduce 1 coin worth of liquid. also, couldn't he also see the tension limit, just like D'Arby?
although maybe he was so focused on his trick that he forgot to observe the tension carefully.
He would just use 2 instead, but its really safe bet Joseph use some kind of trick.. all the bad guy must have their scouting report at this point.

I would have been impressed if Jotaru and co could win without cheating, it would have been good writing and made us feel good. Joseph could have won just by being empowered through determination to save polnareff and the undying faith of Jotaru. Many of JJBA best moments came from determination and faith so a win in such manner would have been great. We shouldnt support cheaters. I believe the chocolate thing could have benefitted both players. The oil added hurts the following player with only a benefit to one player, which is where the problem in this scenario is. If D'arby has used oil then I wouldn't have an issue since hes an antagonist but its old Joseph using oil, its like hes the Lance Armstrong of surface tension.

You guys talking about all the cheating should probably watch an anime called Kaiji.

D'arby the gambler part 1
This episode is GOOD!
Minor complain, Star Platinum got nerfed in this episode, there's no way Jotaro could have miss chocolate in the bottom of the glass. But eh, screw it. It's time for Kujo "pokerface" Jotaro to show his stuff.

Still sticking on my idea that Joseph jobbed here and would have been better if it was Jotaro who took the fall.
Nah. With the group's best gambler out, the stakes are higher.
I tried rationalizing why Joseph was defeated, but still the real one at fault here is Jotaro for not seeing D'Arby cheat in the first place.
He got too overconfident in his skills. Still, this was the moment in the show for him to shine, so it's a shame he got taken out.
It's probably more that Jotaro expected the cheating to occur during the actual game, and not before. It's why he noticed Joseph using the cotton ball but didn't notice the chocolate until examining the cup after the game was over.
Of course, Jotaro is going to be a lot more wary of cheating before and during the game he's going to play with D'arby. It's why he picked poker as the game, because D'arby's hands and fingers are always going to be in full view.

Well, Joseph couldn't even have a last second realization of how he could win. Once the thought of him losing came to mind, D'Arby's stand kicked in.
This is pretty much how I looked at it. Joseph didn't know that if he admitted defeat in his mind, he'd actually lose. I don't like the fact that Joseph got taken out like that, but at least he didn't lose like Polnareff did or just by being an idiot.

Yep. Y'all got to let go of Part 2 Joseph.

You know, I'm tempted to agree but I'm split pretty evenly between that and the final fight.
His VA is the real MVP
Hunter X Hunter is another show that can lend a high amount of tension to actions that would otherwise be ordinary/unremarkable, like a game of Rock-paper-scissors.
In his last three encounters Polnareff got possessed, de-aged and now got his soul stolen.

I can't stop laughing.
guys pls don't bully DTL, we don't have another one.
great start for Barbie, I'm also very much looking forward to the stand user that comes after him.
it's true that Joseph is still the best JoJo but sadly the main character now is Jotaro.

Why would the Ripple be cheating though? In universe, it's a skill that has to be trained and mastered, rather than a random super power like the Stands. It'd be like saying that being too good at putting coins in the cup is cheating too.
A magic power that holds water in place would be cheating.
I don't necessarily care about the gambling aspect of it, but the concept of people trying to constantly outsmart each other in clever ways. It's part of the reason why I enjoyed Death Note, for example. If Kaiji's like that, I'll check it out.

It's not magic just because D'arby can't do it. It's a skill. I don't see how he could call it out.

Kaiji is totally like that. The author pretty much only writes mind game gambling manga and is well known for it. Gambling is the perfect outlet for that kind of constantly outsmarting and clever tricks you want.
Also I just really want more people to watch Kaiji.
Go watch Kaiji please.
So is sleight of hand.
Ha, well sounds like my kind of show, then. I'll definitely have to check it out.
