I'm operating under the assumption that Kira being a stabby fetish dude would be passionate enough to know how to harm people with one efficiently. Though I don't think a lot of serial killers are master knife experts.

Is this a thing in real life or are you getting this from popular media portrayals of serial killers?

Yep. See y'all in part 5.
Maybe, that'd be some inspired casting (& I do think that Ian Sinclair could nail it).

Just got an idea for a Christmas song to play on Morioh-Cho radio.
"Kira Got Run Over By An Ambulance"
Genius.

Disappointed in the ending, too many loose threads. Invisible baby loses their mom, but did anybody even try to find their parents? What is the thing that attacks people when they turn around? How was Rohan able to outpower it when every other character can't? What is up with the weird Cult shit? That final fight was especially underwhelming, with barely zero action compared to last episode plus how it ended so predictably. How come some ghosts go away immediately while others stay? What was the point of Joseph, Tony, and Yukako joining the chase for Kira when none of them contribute? Did Rohan even do anything the last few episodes or was Araki tired of having to deal with his op powers and decided to cripple his effectiveness? How come Hayato was able to deal with so much crazy shit like its nothing when it's been a staple of the series that non stand users ain't shit and can't do anything to them? Why is Kira able to add the cat stand into his own? Was the compartment in his stand teased or hinted at beforehand? How come bites the dust is so convenient for Kira, but Koichi gets a stand that was worthless when he fought Okuyasu's brother? Same thing goes for multiple stand users including invisible baby,Super fly, cheap trick, Enigma,Tony, Cinderella. How come Yoshikage's father has a stand ability that is never used again while he is a ghost? Ghosts can have stands now? I hope the writer cleans up his act for the next seasons.

Good luck trying to find the parents of an invisible baby
Who cares
He didn't, he just outsmarted Cheap Trick by getting him to activate it
Who cares
What part of that is in any way predictable?
This is explained in the show if you pay attention. Reimi had something to settle, thus she couldn't pass on
Just because you didn't see it doesn't mean they didn't do anything. Everyone helped in some way, you don't need a scene showing that to understand it.
Did you watch the last few episodes?
Because he's a smart kid. It clearly took an emotional toll on him
It's a compartment, no it wasn't teased before. KQ is just OP
Because KQ got hit with the stand arrow a second time which can drastically increase a stands power
further explained in part 5
Not every stand is useful the same way another one is, they're all incredibly unique and some are great and some suck. Kira's dad required a camera, he didn't have one while flying around in a picture.
How do you enjoy anything? Why does everything need to be explained? Can't some stuff just be left a mystery?

Some posts just aren't worth responding to, which is why I just continued my rewatch of DiU and ignored that post...onto Yoshikage Kira just wants to live quietly...probably a stupid shit post any way.
Lol that'll happen right after we get that spinoff of Joseph and Lisa Lisa's wild adventures

Honestly if you're complaining about that stuff In Diamond is Unbreakable you should just hop off the train and head home now, because it's only going to get weirder with less explanation in the next season and the one after.

It'll be around a year til the anime is out so I'd say go for it and it won't be completed til like mid to late 2018. I read it over the last few days and enjoyed it, most of its been retranslated already and now I'm reading part 6.

all Rohan did has make Koichi fly backwards out of the hands reach, he didn't over power it, he just came up with a quick solution to get Koichi out of it
Tonio and Yukako live in the town, they don't want to live in the same town as a serial killer so even the can't do much they try to help, Joseph mainly there cause he wants to help josuke out
same reason Jotaro didn't do much, the fight was between Josuke and Kira and no one else, also Heavens door might not work on Kira
the arrow works in bizarre ways, it tends to give people the exact power they need, Kira needed a way to keep Hayato from telling people who he is and he got. as for Koichi, Koichi wasn't meant to survive the arrow, the only he did was that josuke healed him but he was still underdeveloped so his stand was usless
no every body got there stand from the arrow, as people early in the thread pointed out Tonio got his stand from traveling tthe world and learning about cooking, as for other people. Cheap trick was the case of the stand user being to weak and not being able to control it, Super fly is also another self hurt stand and the user just got unlucky and highway star is another good example of the user getting a power they need, Yuya needed a way to heal his wounds and he got that in a stand
Yoshihiro stand is that it lets him live in the photos after he has died, it might not have even worked till he died, if your talking about what he did to the josuke and jotaro,he was too busy going around stabbing people with arrow, also he would need a Polaroid camera in other to use his ability to it's fullest extent and i don't know how common those were in 1999

"Kira doesn't stand out much" *moments later Kira proceeds to publicly finger bang a bunch of sandwiches with a dead hand and then sticks said dead hand in his mouth*

The "dame, dame, dame, dame, dame, dame" scene really did put Kira up there as an excellent villain. The way he can be some calm sounding, yet menacing as fuck is excellent, which is helped by excellent voice work.

For a guy that just wants to blend in some of the shit he does is grandiose and pompous as hell. God damn everybody respects Koichi. Even Kira presses F to pay his respect. Kira's Quiet Life and Sheer Heart Attack are my favorite batch of episodes in this too. Like if you weren't onboard with this Part after this then you were never going to be on board with it. Fucking Koichi snatched Kira's soul from him, damn. Episode is so damn fucked up though. You have GOT to be a boring shit heel of a man when fucking Kira's a better husband than you. Dude fresh from getting his life changed and cutting off his own hand and getting Ora'd half to death fucking made breakfast...or dinner or something. Kira's dad in a polaroid escaping on a raven while cackling like a 1920's black and white sci fi villain will never not fucking kill me.

we need more people to come join us in the manga thread, its fun I promise. I just got done Part 5, finished it in a few days, started Part 6 but I think im going to take a break so I can get a good chunk into Berserk.
I see, so stands are circumstantial until the arrow comes in. The arrow forces the stand out. So koichi's stand hasn't matured. Im still confused that they never use hermit purple. That stand would have been much more helpful in this part than in part 3. Finding Kira and the baby's family would have been much easier. Overall part 4 was amazing except for rock paper scissors kid. I especially loved Josuke vs anyone. All his fights were fun!
I always assumed that that Kira's dad prevented Hermit Purple from working, since Atom Heart Father is also a photography-based stand.
As for Shizuka's parents...who knows, but the assumption is that they were killed by Kira, and the stress caused Achtung Baby to awaken, allowing Shizuka to survive.

Shizuka could be just an abandoned baby.
I just realized that Killer Queen was the stand Keicho was looking for to kill Papa Nijimura.
Question to manga readers: I love the fact that Jojo characters have no set colors, any reason I should read the colored version of the manga over the original? Is there a version that changes the colors for every chapter
?
Bonus random find: DIU spines from the second volume to the last:
But Araki forgot.

Haha, I totally forgot about the spines thing
People like the colored versions since, well, Araki goes crazy in Part 5 and 6, and most scans of the b&w version on the internet are not high quality, so it's kind of hard to make out what's going on. And the coloring job for parts 4, 5, and 6 is really good. (It's not as good for 1, 2, 3, 7 and 8, so read those colorless.)
The color thing comes from the volume covers and artbooks. The manga wasn't colored by Araki, so for better or worse, the colors are realistic/consistent. (So Morioh has a blue sky in the digitally colored version, despite being yellow in the anime.)Question to manga readers: I love the fact that Jojo characters have no set colors, any reason I should read the colored version of the manga over the original?

Since I clearly need more Jojo, I've been thinking about reading Steel Ball Run. (I already binged trough "thus spoke Rohan Kishibe" and "Dead Man's Questions")
I chose that one because I still want experience most of Jojo for the first time, and I hope that by the time the adaption of SBR comes around, I will have forgotten most of it.
What do you guys think? Good idea, bad idea?

I never understood what you had against part 7's color job.
I think it's absolutely fantastic and some of the effects, especially in the colored line work, are among the best you can reasonably expect.

Come to the manga thread and we'll help you out.
But CNTR is also correct. You'll be like "What the fuck at plenty of stuff so you might aswel take it slow.
I can't tell if you know what Part 7's deal is, but if don't and you haven't read Parts 5 and 6 (especially Part 6), it's going to be pretty awkward reading SBR.
*shrug* I just don't like it as much compared to the black and white version. It's not bad, but it's not as good.
e: It's worth it for the reread, but not for the first time, is what I mean
e²: also probably should continue this discussion in the manga thread
No I haven't >.>
Is it really that forgettable?
I know you're saying this because you want more people in the Manga Thread
But yeah, I can see where you're coming from. Might as well do it that way haha
I do know about a certain event at the end of part 6, because people in the YouTube comments with their hate boners for anime onlys just could not stop themselves to spoiler it as much as possible, even in unrelated Jojo discussions.
It's one of the reasons why I'm thinking about reading the manga even though I wanted to do it after I finish the Anime for each part first.
People just seem to forget about a lot of Jojo for some reason, don't ask me why.
And yeah, avoid YouTube comments on Jojo videos. Well, avoid YouTube comments in general, but that's another issue.
(Also, that thing in the spoiler bar is too big of a spoiler for even a spoiler bar. I'd remove it.)

You know what's funny? This is what convincing the most right now to read it.
Oh well, what do i even have to lose? haha
Also, i removed the spoiler. You're right, that was too much for the anime thread, even if i hid it >.>

Well then, make sure to give me lots of love when i come over!
You really should at least read 6 then, to appreciate the context of SBR. You can read it on its own merits (because it is that good), but it loses a fair bit of impact.
I could just read the colored version colorlessly
