[Guess Who]

Still really cool to see.

Another really creepy episode, even with the censoring the gore was pretty shocking.

It's crazy to think as powerful as Jotaro is that this random rat could've killed him under the right circumstances.

Though I'd have thought with his time stop ability Jotaro could just shoot at the rat when things were frozen, surely he's trained himself to stop time for more than a couple of seconds by now?

Jotaro mentioned in the first episode of DiU that he's out of practice with Star Platinum and can't stop time for very long.

 

[Tizoc]

Technically I think it's the first shared Stand, so both of them use Ratt. At least that's how the wiki has it.

Correct, it's simply called Ratt and its Users are the 2 rats.

 

[cntr]

Ratt's range is longer than Star Platinum's, its darts can't be blocked and ignores defense, the user is small and doesn't let you get close enough to ORA it, and Bug-Eaten managed to counter time stop.

Power levels aren't much in Jojo.

 

[Betty]

It's actually insanely strenuous for normal humans to stop time. DIO as a vampire had a far easier time.

More than a second is pretty much impossible for Jotaro.

He could stop time for 2 seconds with DIO, but I guess he was fighting for his life then.

Peace has kinda made him lose his edge it seems.

Jotaro mentioned in the first episode of DiU that he's out of practice with Star Platinum and can't stop time for very long.

Damn, on the bright side though at least he's not insanely overpowered as I thought he'd be.

 

[Defuser]

This the first time Jotaro got himself into a pinch/incapacitated. He never had this kind of problem in part 3. Jotaro finally got josephed.

 

[cntr]

Jotaro also did it on purpose, and was betting on Josuke all along

 

[Easy_D]

Wait why is Jotaro shouting Za Waurdo now?

 

[Sibersk Esto]

A fun fact from the manga is that Star Platinum's durability stat goes from A to E from Parts 3 to 4.

He becomes canonically nerfed.

No it doesn't.

Refer to the manga thread because the actual explanation is heavy spoilers.

 

[RubberLuffy]

Wait why is Jotaro shouting Za Waurdo now?

Because his Stand is technically Star Platinum: The World, now. It looks a little different, has slightly different stats as well.

Also I wish they had left some of the humor in the episode. "Rats? Like Mickey Mouse??", Josuke talking about how expensive his socks and shoes are, him mentioning how cool the rats and Jotaro are, asking if he's the only idiot in this chapter, and Josuke doing some old-fashioned cartoon eyes popping out of his head out when he sees his shoes in the water.

 

[Siegcram]

Wait why is Jotaro shouting Za Waurdo now?

Because you're morally obligated.

 

[MillionStabs]

Glad we finally got the Star Platinum's The World name drop.

Episode seemed slightly under-produced. A lot of faceless Jotaro/Josuke shots.

 

[Parshias7]

Wait why is Jotaro shouting Za Waurdo now?

Starting in Part 4 Jotaro's stand is referred to as STAR PLATINUM - THE WORLD. So he's just saying the full name of the stand.

I watched the new Berserk episode beforehand. Big mistake.

Jotaro did more in this episode than Joseph has done in the entirety of part 3

 

[RubberLuffy]

Well, I like the humor in JoJo's a lot, so cutting some of it out is a bummer.

But the most important parts of the episode were Josuke learning from Jotaro and those were intact, so I'm okay with it.

 

[cntr]

did any stand in Part 3 have a clear advantage over Star Platinum like Ratt does

 

[Matsukaze]

Tower of Grey?

Oh, I didn't even notice :lol, new design looks better than the previous, straight upgrade.

 

[cntr]

Tower of Grey?

That's a lame stand so it doesn't count

 

[Betty]

I want to say Pet Shop's Horus would've been effective, if only because it can attack at a long range.

 

[RubberLuffy]

uh, it wrote MASSACRE in blood on a wall, how can it be lame?

 

[cntr]

Yeah, Pet Shop would've destroyed the Crusaders if Iggy hadn't stepped in

 

[Matsukaze]

Magician's Red would have melted that ice in a heartbeat, but that would require Abdul to take center stage, so Araki would never have let it happen.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

I feel like Cream (duh) and Empress would have given him trouble, and Jotaro was completely useless against Death 13.

I don't remember this being in color lol.

Another great episode. Loved the comment Josuke gave about disliking ball sized objects.

 

[cntr]

that's because it's the shueisha colored version

Finally finished Stardust Crusaders, it took me a while to get into it, but it ended with a bang! How is Diamond is Unbreakable usually rated among fans compared to the other parts?

Highest or second highest. The current adaptation is incredible and very faithful.

2nd best after Part 7.

People say it's the best along with 7, so far as a first time viewer it's very, very good.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

It bothers me these two rats share the exact same Stand though.

 

[cntr]

shout out to the music when Jotaro faced Bug-Eaten, I think we got some new tracks

 

[Squishy3]

man this is probably the best looking episode so far. the sunset scene's shading was so good.

 

[Easy_D]

I just assume he hit two rats in one shot, which shared the stand between them, or the rats were related? I mean Holly's crazy stand was pretty much Hermit Purple

 

[cntr]

They have two copies of the same stand, Ratt.

 

[TheRealTalker]

man oh man being a Biologist does indeed come in handy

 

[RubberLuffy]

It's not the only shared Stand in the series, it's just the first occurrence.

The best part of this episode is the reveal that Otoishi was out walking around, saw some rats and was like "I will give them a Stand." You know Jotaro is sitting there thinking "but what if a dolphin had a Stand?" Don't leave the arrow with him.

Man this is my favourite art style part 4 had. So expressive and exaggerated.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable 16

Sort of felt like a budget episode to save up for next week.

I'm glad they kept Jotaro's ridiculous dolphin outfit:

Rat with a stand...we TMNT now brehs?

It's kind of funny that we're calling it a budget episode when it's still better animated than every other show

I was watching the new Berserk anime before this...now that's a budget show. This rat's creepy as fuck...I wonder what it's standu is.
