Kira is actually Joseph's other sideshow child and awakened his stand when the rest of the Joestars did. End of that mystery.

 

[Matsukaze]

Why did Shigechi have spikes on his head

Runs in the family, just like his uncle Dodoria.

 

[cntr]

No, Kira awakened his stand when a teleportation accident involving David Bowie, some explosives, and a cat went horribly wrong.

Duh.

 

[Salty Rice]

Omg what a awesome episode. We finally saw Killer Queen in action and damn it was also a epsiode with deep feels.

Forgot that next week is already Sheer Heart Attack. Now shit is going down real fast.

"HEY! LOOK OVER HERE!"

 

[Captain Rage Quit 69]

Kira awakened his stand when he wished "boy, I sure wish it was easier to remove these hands from the corpses of my victims while disposing any evidence."

Then DIO gave him a stand because DIO was coincidentally in Morioh at that exact moment in time for reasons.

My god, Jojo cliffhangers piss me off like nothing else. yare yare daze

You're probably joking, but I swore he got it from the arrow.

 

[SoulUnison]

Reimi and Arnold now appear in the OP group photo, mostly hidden behind Rohan.

 

[JadedWriter]

I always thought it was interesting that Phantom Blood Dio wore normal clothes, but after Dio gets Jonathan's body, he starts wearing skimpy model clothing and posing all the time to himself.

Dude if you had Jonathan's gains wouldn't you?

 

[Imperfected]

Dio was just dressing in the manner that a white British guy born in the 1800's thought Egyptians in 1980s would dress like.

No one was willing to call him out on it because of his CHA-RIS-MA.

 

[Astral]

I watched the episode again and Shigechi's death is still sad as fuck. He sounds so happy when he sees Josuke and then it all goes to shit for him. Poor kid.

 

[Lunar15]

I try to put myself in other people's shoes and understand differing opinions but I really can't think of anything Stardust Crusaders does better than Diamond is Unbreakable.

I prefer 4 to 3, but i'd imagine the appeal of 3 is the novelty. It came first and introduced stands, so it stuck out more in history.

I will say though, there is something somewhat endearing about Araki starting out making this super tough guy manga for part 3 but then all of of those big beefy dudes becoming incredibly zany and goofy by the end as Araki realized he's more of a goofy writer.

 

[Permanently A]

Chase You seemed like a pretty generic shounen OP but I like it, it grew on me a lot. The chase is on.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

And all he wanted to do was ear his lunch.

 

[turmoil]

Damn all the Reimi and Arnold thing still makes me feel unease, damn Kira.

KQ card game

Amen

Dio wishes he could troll someone as hard as Polnareff did to Enya, and Polnareff wasn't even aware of it.

Fridays:

Go to work.
Come back home.
Watch JoJo
Me: "Today was a good day"
Watch Berserk
Me: "Today wasn't that great after all. I guess JoJo was alright."

I should learn my lesson and watch Berserk before JoJo.

I guess objectively it's not that great, but the fact that it's following on the heels of Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town certainly makes it a lot easier for me to get jazzed about it.

Like, going back, I actually think Stand Proud is pretty great, and it was just having to follow up Bloody Stream hurting it.

You should learn your lesson and drop Berserk.

 

[Weiss]

excuse me

Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town is far, far better than this new generic pleb trash.

You could sub this into any other anime and it'd fit. That ain't JoJo.

 

[JeremyEtcetera]

It's like watching a car crash or train wreck. I can't look away. Maybe I'm partially a masochist. Maybe a part of me also hopes the next Berserk will amaze me. Maybe this is how it feels when you're really expecting a game release and it gets delayed more than once.

I always watch Berserk before I watch Jojo, why end things on a bad note.

I get home excited about JoJo. Then once I'm done I realize I didn't watch Berserk yet.

Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town is the only song I can think of that I've ever preferred the EDM remix of.

*starts episode *

HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT

Was not expecting that

 

[jgminto]

Anyone who can't appreciate Shigeki after this episode gets no respect. He gets blown half to hell and his priority is to protect his family. He's such a great character.

Man just the look on his face upon seeing Kira in the reflection. It killed me.

 

[Ezalc]

Goddamn this episode was GUREITO. Loved seeing Killer Queen in action, best stand design in the series for me, best villain too.

 

[Easy_D]

Yeah he was a greedy little fucker but his death was selfless.

 

[Salty Rice]

Kira is the Yin to Josukes Yang.

Everything Crazy Diamond touches gets repaired while everything Killer Queen touches gets destroyed.

Such a deep Duwang.

 

[Dominican Power]

What's that Jotaro potato meme about?

 

[Demoli]

I realized whats wrong with Killer Queen's face.

It's the Eyebrows, It's supposed to have this big cat eyes but the eyebrows and the even mroe pronounced face lines make it seem almost skeletal.

 

[King Boo]

shigechi got it pretty bad. he was already defeated and he still had to get hit by a ball?

at least the posing became more noticeable, or maybe i haven't been paying attention the last few episodes.

 

[slightconfuse]

So normal people can't see explosions caused by a stand?

It's not a spoiler but I'll hide the answer for those that don't want to know.

It is very easy to hit t when you want to hit r, so somebody did that once and accidentally posted Jotato.

That's...convenient.

What about Shigechi himself?

Spoiler

Would a non-Stand user see him twisting and disintegrating into nothing? Does he become "invisible" the second KQ begins to "detonate?"

"Handwaves? In JoJo? Oh. My. God!"

 

[AlimNassor]

Kira is so damn creepy. He has no emotional reaction to what he's done. He just goes about his errands afterwards. When he is speaking about killing Shigechi's parents, it's like an adult just casually saying he is gonna tell a misbehaving child's parents about it. He doesn't even lie about why shigechi should tell him the info he wants, he doesn't do the "I'll let you live if you rat the others out" bluff/lie, cause to him, it's perfectly logical to kill shigechi right then and there.Shit, even when Shigechi is writhing in agony, Kira is talking to him as if nothings the matter. I feel like this hits closer to home because there are actually people like Kira that exist irl.

 

[Neoxon]

 

[Scientist Supreme!]

Kira > Dio

 

[AlimNassor]

Kira is both less human and yet creepily more realistic. His calm "dame dame dame" is way more horrifying than Dio's "MUDA MUDA MUDA" because Dio at least feels something.

How did Josuke and Okayasu not hear it then? They only heard shigechi scream josukes name

 

[L00P]

yo why did kira sneak around like an idiot in a bad comedy to get the hand when he has the handy ability to remotely detonate and explode things???

 

[Debirudog]

Was this...in the manga???

Very cool scene.

He hadn't broken up with her yet.
