Support NeoGAF

[Salty Rice]

Part 4 Jotaro is so much better.

Part 3 is imo so super boring and i couldnt care less. Part 4 on the other side is just the coolest.

LMFAO

I'm not expecting a major difference here but I agree he's a lot better in Part 4.

 

[cntr]

as if Josuke wouldn't find that awesome too

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Jotaro is just naturally better in the supporting role. Since Part 4 is a lot more laid back he only really shows up when some real shit is going on.

 

[Reverend Funk]

I think jotaro is my favorite jojo, like he a super steroetypical cool guy which is normally real lame but I feel like for jotaro its so extreme it wraps back around and becomes cool again if that makes sense

 

[Betty]

So far Jotaro is my fav JoJo too, but I haven't read parts 5,6 or 8.

He definitely fits better as support though, even during SDC he was playing that role often.

 

[cntr]

Jotaro and Jonathan are my two "least" favorite Jojos, but that's not saying much when they're all amazing.

 

[Kthulhu]

I think all of the Jojos are great. Josuke is probably my favorite, and Jotaro works great as a mentor/support character. Part 6s Jojo is probably one of the greatest female manga/anime characters ever written.

 

[cntr]

Probably shouldn't start talking about future Jojos just yet, tends to lead to Actual Spoilers.

 

[ReiGun]

As someone only watching the anime, I don't feel at risk of being spoiled by someone saying they like Part 7's Jojo the best.

 

[petran79]

Speaking of Jotaro the 1993 OVA stands out because it is the only one where you see him shed tears Hokuto no Ken style.

 

[cntr]

As someone only watching the anime, I don't feel at risk of being spoiled by someone saying they like Part 7's Jojo the best.

Yeah, I agree that it's not a big deal on its own, but when stuff like this is brought up, people tend to start actually talking about the future parts and post real spoilers. It's silly having to be this strict about it, but it's necessary.

Josuke is great but I can't compare until I see his whole story through.

 

[Killer Queen]

It's that people then start to go further into spoiler territory. He's just trying to stop it before it starts.

Fair, but in that case, I think it would be better to just remind people to go to the community thread rather than stopping the discussion full stop.

Spoiler-phobia just bugs me, I guess. Not a big deal.

He does, but it's not like they listen half the time. I've been spoiled by so much stuff in this series that I don't care anymore but I can see why others would.

 

[TheSun]

Yeah, reading between the lines of some of the responses led me to some conclusions about certain characters.
Still doesn't stop me from enjoying but it can get frustrating.

 

[Captain Rage Quit 69]

it's important to remember that part of the fun of jojo is "whoa what the shit is going on," which is slightly lost if you already know what's gonna happen. Some people like knowing future events because it gives them something to look forward to, but other people prefer surprises and we should respect that.

Also this is an anime thread and we have a manga thread to talk about manga things so yeah.

 

[Triscuitable]

I remember people fretting at the lack of Part 4 segue at the end of Part 3.

jokes of Diamond is not Cartoon and Diamond is Unwatchable were abound.

Diamond is not confirmed.

Jotaro was super Cool

I forget if it's when Kira and Jotaro are on the same or opposing team, but they'll repeat that dialogue exchange over his watch word-for-word in Eyes of Heaven.

 

[King Boo]

kira's escape was interesting.

did kira knew they would "heal" his hand to find him? what if they didn't heal it, would kira (and more importantly the cat stand) be missing a hand? or did he have dio's luck?

 

[Christine]

I took me forever to figure out why Kira actually chops off own goddamn hand (aside from the fact that he's a freak with a creepy dismembered hand fetish)

I'm like, doesn't SHA come off as an independent attack anyway? Why's he need to leave his hand there? Is it just a convenient way to do the chase scene?

It finally dawned on me, Koichi messed him up so bad that he won't even take a chance on getting weighed down by that Three/Freeze again.

Nice going, Koichi.

Probably betting on Cinderella to replace it.

C'mon enjoy some sense of humor.

Doesn't Part 4 have more chapters than Part 3? How is it going to get finished in so many fewer episodes?

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Magic of pacing.

DP learned how to properly pace things. Seriously, SDCs pacing wasn't too good. They could have condensed stuff pretty easily.

Get a tv and use hermit purple so they can watch themselves.

why did jotaro punch kira a bunch instead of gouging out his carotid artery

 

[cntr]

jotaro isn't that kind of guy

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

why did jotaro punch kira a bunch instead of gouging out his carotid artery

He probably would've still lived

 

[NCR Redslayer]

jotaro isn't that kind of guy

I could name a couple of people who are probably dead because of him.

 

[Permanently A]

im just saying you've got a few seconds to deal with an extremely dangerous serial killer before you knock out, might as well rip out his jugular to be safe

 

[chrisPjelly]

why did jotaro punch kira a bunch instead of gouging out his carotid artery

Jotaro REALLY likes to solve things by punching

 

[Sir Ilpalazzo]

I could name a couple of people who are probably dead because of him.

I guess it's equally possible that he doesn't have any confirmed kills other than Dio and the fake captain. The fate of every character Jotaro oraoras is ambiguous.

Sure some people just get retired (like steely dan) but others like Strength and the sun are probably dead.

 

[Wiseblade]

Strength and the Sun were situations where Jotaro couldn't punch his troubles away, rather than him choosing not to. If ORAORA is an option, Jotaro will take it.

Animated Duwang!

I hadn't seen or heard this before XD

 

[cntr]

Fun fact: when the 2012 anime came out, Duwang was still the only complete translation of Part 4.

How can this be. I thought JoJo was popular enough to get real translations.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Oh it's immensely popular in Japan. Yet all the attempts to bring it over in 90s and early 2000s either failed through complications or the ones that did make it were hardly recognized. I think folks just didn't know how to market the series at a time when a goofy semi-serious show like DBZ was marketed like a hardcore not-your-parent's saturday morning cartoon, making the series pretty obscure in the west. (Aside from Italy) It took a long while for the right fans to make quality scans and translation as scanlations grew.

The retranslation didn't get finished until like, late 2013 I wanna say?

The colored scans I think. The Invincible Trio, the one everyone quotes, didn't finish until late 2014.

Yep, Duwang was how I ended up finishing Part 4 since I got into the series in like 2013 through the anime. Part 5 I read entirely through old translations. I'm really looking forwards to the anime adaptation of both so I can properly enjoy them.

Man...Seeing all these DiU comics/jokes is the best thing

It seems like Part 4's really taken off and I couldn't be happier

 

[UnnecessaryTodd]

Just watched D'arby's Osiris and goddamn that was a good return to form. D'arby literally being unable to call was hilarious. I daresay this was the first moment I've actually liked Jotaro as a character, and it was moreso that they used his extreme blandness as a talent. Still, incredibly enjoyable and a welcome change of pace after that other awful baby episode.

 

[cntr]

Yeah, a lot of people say D'Arby is where they really start liking Jotaro.

You just finished D'Arby the Gamer right? Cause if not the ordering is weird.
