That's cause Shinobu actually loved Kira. Her whole demeanor changed once he came into her life and now dude's dead with half a face. And you know what? Kira always came back to her. He never really cheated on her until he lost his shit and killed some fucking annoying hipsters.

Not to mention they're probably screwed financially.
Great ending.
What a pitiful end Kira got, but he got what he deserved, nothing but a scum that deserved to die in the most loser way possible
.
Also, quite a bit of negative outcomings in the ending: Rohan x Reimi is quite the sad pairing (although it was fun to see him breakdown during the goodbye); Okuyasu's father remains a monster (luckily though his son finally accepts him no matter what); but mostly Shinobu and Hayato will never go back to a happy life, one will keep being oblivious and heartbroken while the other has been through some tough shit and will never be able to talk about it.
Still, what a great season, most definitely my favourite Part up until now.
Now the wait for Vento Aureo is going to be terrific, even if i knew there wasn't going to be a teaser i kept hoping till the last second lol
Goodbye Morioh!

Even more ironic is that scene is him being torn apart by the very things he was obsessed with.
I don't know, I'm pretty sure the time stopping punch ghost putting him right in front of a moving vehicles tire while time was frozen was the cause.

I'm going to miss Saturday morning JoJo.
See ya in Italy!

part 2's rankings are so weird post-anime.
Most likely F2P. The previous game, Stardust Shooters was as well, but plays totally different.

Rohan giving in to Koichi's angry faces was the best thing ever lol. Couldnt stop rewinding.
Enjoyed how the ending was only enabled by Koichi's quick thinking, unlike other parts where vital key characters were killed off when they were needed most (see Caesar or even Kakyoin), here we get the most important character performing admirably rising to meet the call of duty. Perfect. Koichi gets to join Caesar in the hall of fame of best JJBA characters for me.
Pt2 is still the best though, this will fall being under pt 3 though, slow start and the middle was just plain dull at times. And we only stayed in this one city, for an adventure one would want more of a journey through different environments.
In Jorge Joestar, Killer Queen knew.
wait really?
Loved the finale and it caused me to watch some of the older episodes. Now I remember when they first met Rohan and we found out about Josuke's past, remember expecting that to come back later in the series but it was never touched again heh.
Definitely my favourite part and the finale had everything I had hoped for and more. Going to miss this show

If there's anything I wanted to be in Jorge Joestar, it's heaaaaavily implied future Josuke :[

THAT ENDING WAS PERFECT. Glad that Kira tried using Bites The Dust again because it'd be weird as hell if that was a one-and-done power, being as OP as it is. But I did NOT expect it giving Koichi his moment of glory. And then Jotaro gets to finish the job (well, sort of) as he damn well should. AND THEN REIMI GETS HER REVENGE YESSSSSSS
Bring on Part 5.

It's like Killer Queen realizes his situation is fucked before Kira himself did.

Concerning Josuke's flashback, I'm convinced that the man that helped him as a kid really was intended to be a time traveling Josuke. Araki probably had in mind a time reversing ability for the final boss from the start, but as the end approached, he decided that a simple ability like that was boring and it didn't fully fit Kira's character. And then he decided there wasn't an easy way to fit Josuke being sent back in time, and thus didn't bother.

I love this. Makes perfect sense. Shame Joseph is probably dead by the time we next see any Joestars, I imagine.

part 5 is only a couple years after part 4, Koichi is 18 next we see of him.

I love how Kira died in such a pedestrian way, perfect for this series.

Don't think it counts as a spoiler, but Joseph isn't really brought up anymore. Araki did say in an interview around the time of Part 6 that Joseph is still alive though.

Araki said that Joseph is "likely" still alive as of Part 6, but would have gotten a bit more senile.
Part 5 takes place in 2001, I don't think Joseph kicked it that soon.I love this. Makes perfect sense. Shame Joseph is probably dead by the time we next see any Joestars, I imagine.
I don't know, since part 6 takes place in the Florida, I'd imagine he would have shown up if he was still alive, since he lived on the East Coast. He would have been 91 by then.
Yeah, I recall reading that Kira was warming up to the fact that being a ghost meant that he could do whatever the hell he wanted in Morioh and not have to worry about shit or something along those lines.

oh
ok
actually I totally forgot that Hamon is meant to keep dudes alive for a long-ass time so that fits
but now I just have mad questions about who the fuck Jolyne is

If you really want to know,
she is Jotaro's kid. She was born before part 4 even started. Jotaro got divorced.

Considering I marathoned parts 1 through 3 last year I thought that I may struggle enduring the weekly wait watching part 4 but damn that was fun and a consistent highlight of my week.
Favourite part so far, Kira is just such a great villain, part of me wanted to see that final bite the dust gambit work, the other half of me took great joy in watching him get Star Platinum'd.
Jotaro and Koichi became such fast friends, warms my heart.
"oh I just got the driver to accidentally reverse with heavens door"
Or using it to manipulate Kira in general, but I suppose when you have an ability like Heaven's Door on hand with the final villain in a susceptible position for it you've almost got too many choices as to what direction you could take its use.

Indeed, somehow his odd lack of immediately identifiable character comes around to making him my favourite, or at least equal to Joseph.

I genuinely thought it was going to have factored into the ambulance scenario at first like
"oh I just got the driver to accidentally reverse with heavens door"

cause he would be too strong if he was dumb
So the way Kira's death was animated and how I interpreted it when I read it a few weeks back were different. The anime makes it look longer and like an actual accident. When I read the manga, I got the impression it happened very quickly and Jotaro purposely put him in the Ambulance path, and the entire accident thing was Jotaro trying to respect Josuke's no killing thing. I'll have to read it again and maybe post the pages when I'm home.

I always thought Kira crawled into the path of the ambulance to rob them the satisfaction

That is some serious conviction then.

I feel like that reading goes against his I WILL MAKE IT OUT OF HERE NO MATTER WHAT personality.
And I expected over the last couple of episodes for it to be related to bites the dust, haha
- Kira is an amazing villain. One moment I'd be sympathizing with him; the next he'd pull some slick shit and I'd switch from saying "Jeez, poor guy" to shouting "YOOOOOO GET FUCKED UP!!!"
- That death scene was brutal, holy shit. AND THEN THE AFTERLIFE DEATH SCENE WAS FUCKING SAVAGE, GAH DAMN ARNOLD
- Just about everybody* contributed to taking Kira down and ending the madness in Morioh, which is impressive! Even more impressive, it still felt like Koichi was the protagonist all along. I do wish Josuke had been central to more of the story, but I still enjoyed the way it turned out.
*everybody except Tamami and Hazamada lol fuck those losers
- OH MY FUCKING GOD ROHAN
Why are you like this. Just say goodbye to your friend you prick, and then thank Koichi for making you be honest, lmao.
Fan-freakin'-tastic show. It's definitely my new favorite Jojo's part and cast. Josuke is a top-tier Jojo for sure... though I'm hesitant to call him my favorite. I won't declare that until after I rewatch Part 2. One of the reasons Joseph is still in the top spot is because he carries Battle Tendency on his broad shoulders like no other.
Now I can only assume that since Koichi is a thoroughly decent dude he checks in with Hayato every now and again.

I can forgive just about everything about the ending of DiU except for this. Hayato fucking earned himself a happy ending, and one for his mom as far as I'm concerned. I couldn't believe there was nothing in their moment in the ending montage to leave a hint of hope that they might get a happy ending eventually. Their lives are just fucked, and that's it for them.

THIS WAS LITERALLY THE FIRST THING I THOUGHT OF AFTER IT HAPPENED

Yeah...as soon as Hayato and Shinobu connected with Kira there was no chance of a happy ending there.
Fits with the whole 'Kira corrupts these people's lives and scars them forever' monologue at the end.
