Don't forget when he first notices when something is wrong with Holly, because she isn't there for him to tell her she's annoying when he leaves for school in the morning.

It's...bizarre, right?
Who learns they have the ability to stop time and just sort of goes "Well, that's neat. I'll never use that again."
Part 4 Jotaro shouldn't be "out of practice," he should be stopping time for full minutes at this point.

If there haven't been any threats and he's just doing ocean scientist stuff, he probably hasn't needed it.
And DIO could only stop time as long as he could because of his vampire body.
there's no use for it if he never finds any opponent that can give him a fight and if no one else can use the same power. also, Time Stop is very draining on the body.
it would have been useful to train the ability but i guess Jotaro didn't really care about that power the way DIO did.
Also, at the end of Part 3 when he's trying to figure out if Joseph is still Joseph or taken over by Dio, he determines that this man who is his grandfather who he has traveled and fought death battles with is still himself based on pop culture trivia.
Also I've just rewatched Episode 1 of Part 4 and when Jotaro sees some assholes telling a high school student to take his clothes off in the middle of the street he's immediately like "Well I guess that's just the done thing around here, some sort of social custom, I know about those" but is upset that said high schooler who people are slapping in the face and mugging for his clothes in broad daylight isn't very specifically mad about turtle abuse that's also happening.

I don't think Jotaro particularly cares for humans in general outside of specific circumstances and people. He appears to generally dislike women and tends not to make friends with people in general.

I already like this more than the beginning of Stardust Crusaders. That opening Morioh tune was cool and I'm digging this soundtrack and art style, Josuke's mom seems pretty cool, Josuke is cool. Don't shit talk his coif.
Part 4 takes Stands to the 'next level'. They even get grades.

Hope we get some more background on josuke

Stands had stats from the beginning.

I can't wait to find out what the ending theme is.
if you look at it in a certain way, it resembles The World.
That woman's insides he punched through must be messed up. Though, then again, that turtle wasn't deformed. They'll probably elaborate on how his power works more later on; like if he has any control on how things are reformed or if it's automatic. Given the knife incident, he probably controls it, at least somewhat.

That was pretty great
I don't think it's ever explained in the manga so I hope it's not a spoiler, but yes, he controls the ratio reformation/deformation when fixing things.
The turtle returning to normal suggests it too.
His Stand power is very cool and makes his fights very creative. And the Stands get weirder.

It's of the same "type" of Stand as Star Platnium and The World. You could also interpret its ability as a form of time manipulation
The JoJos typically get lazy with their powers after their part. Joseph could have aged at a much slower pace like his mother had he kept up with his Hamon practice.

He could only stop time for 5 seconds in his prime (17/18) so now that he's older it's harder for him to stop time for longer. Especially since that isn't his stands primary ability like it was for DIO.
When he's angry at someone, the object is deformed, and if he's not, it's not. This is precision enough to work differently for the robber and the woman.
In the TV adaptation, yes, but in the original comic, they only got stats from Part 5 on.

It's explained pretty early in both. The angrier he is, the less control he has.
In case it is a spoiler Josukes powers as I interpreted them:
he has the ability to heal practically anything and in a sense this also means he can return anything back to its original form. He does this I'm assuming at some molecular level so it allows him to get creative by maybe half assing it like with the knife or that guys nose. Like the thing he is fixing is snapping back into place but he can stop fixing midway through and and it ends up sort of messed up. Later on he does some kickass stuff with it.
Interesting theory, but I wouldn't necessarily say Jotaro's on the spectrum. He's aware enough of social norms that he doesn't engage in socially inappropriate behaviour. Plus, mental health issues are something that's kinda quietly kept behind closed doors in Asia. So you're right that Araki may have based him on some of the traits of someone on the spectrum, but he may not have been aware of it.

What kind of 21 year old wouldn't sleep with a buff, funny 50 year old foreigner who is also a millionaire? It's like saying "Why would someone sleep with Tony Stark?"

I would recommend seeing parts 1-3. They are all individual stories that begin and end, and the next part switches protags.
You should
Mostly cos it's Jojo and they like going on with that bloodline
You don't wanna miss the beef the bad dudes got with them. I guess you could maybe skip part 2. Josef becomes a different dude in the future after that and part 1 is the start and is important and part 3 introduces stands which go on for a long time and are kinda important

Did you just tell that gaffer to skip the best JoJo so far? Pls no
If you don't have much time and if you like more compact storylines (i.e. a plot that actually advances from one episode to the next), I'd say watch Parts 1 and 2. Part 3 is twice as long as both combined, and most of it doesn't advance the plot in any way. Part 3's most important feature in the grand scheme of things is the introduction of a concept that wasn't present in previous parts but is present in all subsequent parts.
That said, all 3 arcs have a story line with a clear conclusion.
62, but yes he did look like a man in his 50's like Sean Connery in Indiana Jones.
The current joseph is looking on how to split his inheritance. Age hasn't done him favors after stardust crusaders.
@goober watch the first season (2012-2013), it covers Part 1 and 2.
Part 7 isn't due in like a decade or so ;_;
part 2 is second best but should he skip the start and the stand intro?

Don't know a hint about JoJo part 7. Going anime only for this series
You'll get there.
It has the chance to be better as an anime way more than any other part because of the main plot.

Don't tell people to skip JoJo parts, what the hell. Even the worst part (Phantom Blood) is short as hell and has a lot of charm.
Watch and read all the JoJos.
