Tamami aimed to make the life of a 15 year old a living hell for being at the wrong placed at the wrong time.
God forbid it wasn't a stand user who got trapped by him.
I noticed that just now, actually! Quality stuff

Did they add Josuke biting his lip? That's something that's not brought up until later in the part IIRC.

I loved that they kept the YATTA part, although I thought it would be faster based on the manga.

Josuke: "Just calm down Okuyasu, we'll let this one slide"
Okuyasu: "Yeah, I guess you're right, what's the worst that can happen?"

Like how the fuck is Josuke balancing on his tippy toes on the circular edge of a rising floating pipe?
The power of posing.
So like was Shigechi abused or something and that's why he's so fucking stupid? I mean this goes beyond greed, his personality basically did a 180 and he tried to kill people over a couple of grand. This is not a person I would be keen to befriend afterwards (though that applies to like all the Stand Users in this part aside from maybe Okuyasu but at least him & Josuke had some real bonding moments before Okuyasu's heel turn.

Well he didn't really have a high opinion of himself until josuke and okuyasu buttered him up and inflated his ego.

Barney Gumble would really love the Harvest stand.
Shigechi wasn't abused but mentally he is a few cents short of a dollar, if you catch my drift. Josuke and Okuyasu even comment on when they first meet him - he has low intelligence and his limited cunning, as noted by Okuyasu, is based on instinct more than anything else.
What's even more problematic for him is that Shigechi has lived an isolated life. As should be obvious, he has neither a functional understanding of social cues nor proper communication skills. He doesn't know how to properly behave around people and just lets his feelings dictate everything that comes out of his mouth. His mood swings run on polar extremes and his mind takes longer to process logical reasoning (like Josuke's rational basis for dividing the money).
EDIT:
And of course this, which is probably the most important factor.

Surely a gif of this is going to appear here within the hour.I loved that they kept the YATTA part, although I thought it would be faster based on the manga.
Sometimes stand user just instinctively know their powers, it's the Araki Way.

Then why did Dio have to test his out multiple times in SDC?
Just as an aside, I feel there were multiple times during the episode (before he actually went ahead and did so) when Okuyasu could have used The Hand to great effect. Why run after Shigechi when you can just teleport towards him or make him teleport towards you?
But I mean to turn out that way (in addition to just being dumb) you have to have a TERRIBLE upbringing. Like "your parents kept you in a cage" style upbringing. I dunno, I'm just not a fan of the character and don't think he adds much to the narrative or crew. There were a few funny/cool moments over the past two episodes so I'm not going to say its a total wash. Just that Shigechi sucks!
I mean I remember being 13 years old and I wasn't a bi-polar (correct word to use?) moron who couldn't process basic logic or respond to social ques. I didn't have super powers either but still.

Great Episode.
Also the chapter change from the manga really surprised me and kinda makes sense.
But i hope its just one more week of waiting because i was already hyped for next week haha

In which: Okuyasu and Josuke beat up, rob, and bully a middle schooler.
I really just wanted to have a quiet life next week. Wish they didn't switch around events like this.

God I loved this episode. Props to DP for keeping the humor and intensity of the original intact. Curious to see how they do the next arc, but thankfully, it's only a single episode.
Josuke would also be an idiot for not telling Okuyasu.

Episode 19
Fun episode, though I admit that I was yelling at Okuyasu to use The Hand's power to bring Shigechi to him a long time before he actually did it. Also, Josuke, why didn't you point out to Shigechi that they would have been caught in the bank if he hadn't used Crazy Diamond.
I'm not sure how I feel about the chapter changes. I thought how the original was paced was weird, but it managed to work. I don't know how I feel about DP changes it; maybe they'll make it better? I don't know.

I dunno I thought Okuyasu didn't show his Hand 'cuz Fatty didn't know what it did. But that's too smart for him, so lets say Josuke told him that
to be fair, they changed the order of the reveal of ZA WARUDO back in SC and i felt the anime version was better.
DP certainly has the potential to improve whatever they change around.

Shigechi is alright, but I can't wait to see more Yukako. Next week's episode should be a lot of fun :3

Yeah. I realize that. It's just that changing something like The World's power reveal is comparatively small to changing the order of arcs around. It's a pretty big change. I agree with you on the anime doing the World's reveal better, and it didn't bother me because it was a pretty small change. I'm worried that flipping the arcs might take me out of the anime, since it feels like entire chapters worth of content will be out of place, instead of just a few pages.
That being said, I look forward to seeing how DP does this, and I certainly hope they manage to improve on Part 4. Their little changes so far have made things a lot better, and I hope them making a big change does the same.

At least it's not just me that wants to see more Yukako.

"Where is the plot" I hate that shit it's Scooby Doo with Stands what part about that doesn't appeal to someone?
Good episode. Josuke and Okuyasu's pose on the pipes had me rolling.
Looks like we gotta wait a little since they're changing it up but I'm hyped.
ftfy, but I 100% agree. It's why this is my fav JoJo part.
