It's funny how he wasn't angry that Josuke was cheating so much as he was angry that he couldn't find out how he was doing it.

Because he thinks he's smarter than damn kids.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Finally watching after dodging a hurricane over the weekend, but did they really take out the "my grandmother once got hit twice by the same car on the same day" line? Awww.

Also:

 

[chrisPjelly]

They also cut out the part that cemented Josuke as my favourite jojo

Still, the episode was greatly paced

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Yeah I really missed those lines.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

I forgot about the cars line, but the omission of Josuke's "I forgot to wash my hands" line and Rohan's reaction was disappointing, I was looking forward to that bit.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

I also missed when Rohan asks Josuke to sit down in the seat in front of him.


Josuke: No, I'm a young guy so I can just stand!

Rohan: Are you implying I'm old

 

[Drkirby]

I am Alien should have been 2 full episodes IMO. Oh well, I guess they do have to start wrapping things up, we only have 11 more episodes, right?

 

[FluxWaveZ]

It seems there've been more posts about what's been omitted from the manga for the Part 4 anime than the other parts, so I assume that they've had to cut more minor touches for pacing reasons than the previous times, which is unfortunate.

 

[Moaradin]

Some minor things have to be cut for better pacing. Part 4 has been so much better than Part 3 in that regard. Hopefully they go this route for all future parts.

The Diamond is Unbreakable anime is 39 episodes vs. Stardust Crusaders' 48, even though the DiU manga is longer than the SC manga. Thus the anime team couldn't do another panel-by-panel-plus-extra adaptation. I think that's for the best though; while everyone's favorite line may not have made the cut, it prevents the pacing from dragging as much as Stardust Crusaders did in anime form.

Part 4's anime should not have had less episode than Part 3. Part 4's manga is longer than Part 3's even.

Really, Part 3, 4, 5, and 6 should all be 4 Cours. And Part 7 should be 6 to 8 Cours.

 

[TheSun]

Dang, I should read the manga. All these missing scenes would'a been great seeing animated.

Like add an extra episode or something? I dunno.

 

[RubberLuffy]

DiU wouldn't work at 48 eps and SDC wouldn't work at 39, because of how differently they are structured and paced in the manga.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

All the more reason for anime bros to read the manga for extra goodies riiiiiiiiiight

ha, I didn't know Bakuman had this

 

[Fandangox]

Just a few random things that seemed to me like obvious references to stands:

Super late, but pretty sure Zato-1/Eddie is a reference to Venom from Spider-Man

 

[Frozenprince]

ha, I didn't know Bakuman had this

Bakuman is basically 90% references.

Josuke should have left Rohan see Mikitaka. Then we could have found out that he really is an alien with Heaven's Door.

 

[Tizoc]

Josuke should have left Rohan see Mikitaka. Then we could have found out that he really is an alien with Heaven's Door.

I don't think Josuke would've been able to handle the truth.

 

[RubberLuffy]

Yeah right, you know Araki would have made it so HD doesn't work on Mikitaka.

 

[Leezard]

Yeah right, you know Araki would have made it so HD doesn't work on Mikitaka.

Perhaps it could have worked but it would all be in an undecipherable language and writing stuff in Japanese in his pages wouldn't do anything.

 

[Fandangox]

I assume that whether Mitaka is really an Alien or not, in the case he wasn't one he truly believes he is an Alien, which is what I think Heaven's Door would have shown.

I...I think you just cemented my purchase of the manga


edit - also late to the party on this episode, but I think Rohan is my favorite character in S4 now.

 

[dani_dc]

Shame so much got cut, this was one of my favourite "fights" off the manga.

It's funny because the average Japanese man doesn't actually wash their hands. Most are happy with just rinsing them, sometime just one hand for half a second.
Guess Rohan doesn't go to public bathrooms.

How do you know this and also why?

 

[Kneefoil]

I've never disliked Rohan, but at first I did have a hard time seeing why he was so popular. However, when we got to see how his mind operates in the rock-paper-scissors episode, I started to appreciate him a lot more. He's a great character.

 

[RubberLuffy]

Rohan is great because he's a unrepentantly selfish person, who is smug as all hell and generally a shithead, but he's still a "good guy". He's not the deepest character, but he's reasonably complex and interacts well with pretty much any other character. He respects Joseph, likes Koichi (but still acts like a selfish jerk with him), is indifferent to Okuyasu, annoyed by Yukako and really hates Josuke, so any character he interacts with will play out differently.

tl;dr Rohan is the bestest

 

[Salty Rice]

Nice to see the pose.

Well this is a bit of a gross life fact...

the official French translation doesn't have "my grandmother" but an old woman, I really don't think it's a reference anyway.

 

[Erigu]

That's correct: it's just about some old woman he's heard of.

 

[Tall4Life]

that was one hell of a sexy pose by highway star there

 

[sprsk]

How do you know this and also why?

It's true. And it doesn't help so many public restrooms aren't equipped with soap. (Or even warm water)

 

[TheSun]

Oi, one day the the third theme started playing in my head and now it's stuck. I think I might be coming around to it.

Also most folks in my college don't wash their hands. I never hear the faucet run...

Or Josuke comming out a sun with "Justice" written on it and the lines to the song as just straight up "Shining Justice...." its a good OP
