all my loli wolf companions are so moe
I want Araki to do a simpsons springfield jojo
It's kinda funny if you think about it, most anime assume Japanese things even when it wouldn't make sense, like science fiction futures or foreign countries being incredibly Japanese. It's a thing most cultures do.
But Araki does the exact opposite and turns a rural Japanese town into an American suburb. Heck, even before this he sets two parts outside Japan, and the third part only for 3 episodes, and makes almost every character not-Japanese or only half-Japanese.
It's bizarre.

You don't often stop to think about how only 2 of 8 parts are set in Japan, but it's kind of amazing.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
In the backstory Morioh is a pretty recent town, so I imagine that's why it's pretty Western-influenced...Sendai was going through a change around the same time when it was modernized and apparently Araki was influenced by the influx of "strangers" to make Morioh a town going through similar growing pains, though in this case a bunch of Stand Users and a murderer laying roost.
Also another possible Twin Peaks shout-out, the Morioh coat of arms includes an owl.

Agreed. I wouldn't go as far as to say one of the most entertaining, but it's certainly not what I dreaded when I found out it was a two-parter.
Wasn't it his editor or something who told him to set it in Japan this time?

Did anyone notice at the ending credits, where the camera closes in on the lighthouse and you see reflections of Josuke.
Well, for a brief moment, the reflections change from Josuke to Kira w/ purple hair.
If Shigechi was Josuke-level smart, it'd be an amazing stand.
Like you can just inject air and give people embolisms. You can retrieve almost anything, like room keys or important documents. Not to mention stealing money for real.

Uhhhh, yes. It's pretty hard to miss since it's center screen.

At least Shigechi uses his stand better than Okuyasu.
Drunk Okuyasu is pretty smart.

Correct. We'll talk about this in more depth once Season 2 ends.

They didn't really cut anything of importance but today's episode felt a little too fast tbh.

Can writers who thrust romance in stuff when its not needed please stop. In what logical way does Koichi fall of Yukako afterall hes done to him and not say others like the needy Rohan, its senseless. What a cheesy episode too.

Bruh please
We know you mad they didn't go the Boy's Love route with Koichi, but if you soldier through just for a few more months, you'll get all you've wanted from JoJo and more.

Like with Rohan being a mangaka, the storyboarding here was more reminiscent of a Fairy Tale. Most would say this is one of the weaker arcs in DiU, but DP naturally enhances it as they have been doing. Swapping Cinderella and Yoshikage Kira Wants a Quiet Life made sense, they had a very subtle tease for the future.

I know this is partly a joke post, but it makes sense for someone like Koichi to fall for his abuser. He's totally submissive, probably a little masochistic too.

This is my least favorite stand encounter in Part 4 and David Pro still managed to make it less tedious

Koichi does have a tendency to hang out with the worst people, between the two shorties, Rohan and his abusice stalker... I think koichi has some real issues.

No need to be jealous of the best power couple in Jojo. There is a place for the Koichi and Rohan ship,and that's in
your dreams

I mean holy shit Rohan was doing fucking awful things to Koichi too, stealing and rewriting his memories.

Don't forget that he was stealing Koichi's weight too.
The JoJo squad seems to be pretty forgiving. They even forgave that scam artist and creepy mannequin dude.
Koichi must have a fetish of somekind.

I think the crew recognizes that people who have suddenly acquired stands one day might be prone to abusing their new power.

I feel like the rules the behind that Cinderella stand were kinda wishy washy.
You know, with the whole promises, magic lipstick and face melting.

Eh it serves the purpose of a fairy tale story.
