Out of pure curiosity and completely off topic but
why are you seemingly a perpetual junior?
how hath thou sinned?
NX Hype Train, that's what happened.
Well that was an hour of my life.
God bless you and the guy that did that gif2vid gaf script
That is like Kira describing his issue as "Manicure Enthusiast"
Well......you're not wrong.
I've started reading Part 5 and I really really like it so far, so *shrug*.

Wow, I guess I did the right thing by making the original gif.
Not even close, buddy. It gets better past Part 5.
Are you telling me that my opinion from reading part 5 so far is wrong? I haven't read the other parts, I'm literally just reading part 5 for the first time. Ok then........

With everyone shit talking part 5 (i.e. the exact opposite of part 4s momumental overhype train), it's going to end up as everyones favourite part initially lol.

Bloody Stream is my favorite music wise, nothing beats that jazzy rhythm. So no Chi no Sadame is second in that regard but first in badassery. All of the Part 3 OPs I dislike the beat but the Dio's World part of the last was some hype shit. Part 4's OPs are cool, better than 3's but worse than 1 and 2.
End of the World from Part 3 is sooooooooooo underrated. Like come on guys. It's so fucking hype to hear all the JoJo OP singers come together, especially as that kind of theme is meaningful to the story of the whole Joestar clan up to that point. It feels appropriately like music for a final arc.
I love the visuals but I do think the tune is kind of bad, it feels more like they are reading words in a kind-of singing voice.
Have you listened to the full song, instead of the cut for the OP?

if i remember right, they have a shitposting thread like once every week
Yeah, and I do like the full version better, but the opening itself feels a bit forced as a song.
There is that Scene when JoJo punches Dio Brando in the face and the blood hits the shadow of the mask. The Mask reacts to the blood and both Dio and JoJo notices its bizarre movement.
Then Dio looks back at JoJo and, with a sly smile, says "You know, JoJo, we really are the Phantom Blood"
Minerals and later on stand names themselves make up the basis for most of the parts.
Like Stardust Crusaders is a reference to Star Platinum, sand and the group that goes to fight Dio.
Diamond is Unbreakable is a reference to Crazy Diamond and I guess the unbreakable heart of Morioh or of Josuke himself
Battle Tendency is the only part that has a dull name, it literally just means Joseph has a tendency to get into battles and that's it :/

IIRC, originally Part 1, 2, and I think 3 didn't have the current titles that they have now.
made me wanna gouge my eyes out, but in a good way
"You know Caesar, we really have a Battle Tendency"
Star Platinum and Crazy Diamond are also references to album records! Platinum, diamond,
. Battle Tendency doesn't have anything to do with Part 2, but the name is so fun to say that I can excuse it.

The Jojo subreddit restricts all meme fanart and images to a weekly thread, 'cause they don't want the place to get taken over by shitposts.
Part 5 got a horrible translation, so it's the worst received part in the English speaking fandom, lol. It's very popular in Europe and Japan, where they got proper translations. But yeah, Part 5 and 6 are going to be hype as hell.
I don't like Queen either
(Killer Queen is one of the dopest melodies in pop music)
That's half of the reason why I'm hyped for Part 5, to have a proper translation via Crunchyroll (& the inevitable dub).

When did Jotaro become so interested in marine life?
We saw hints of his interest in marine life in the Part 3 anime.
But yeah, he studied marine biology in college between the events of Parts 3 & 4.

- The title likely refers to the inexorable, almost omnipresent tie Jonathan and Dio's bloodlines share, despite not being related by blood (also, vampirism). Phantom Blood was retroactively named such when Araki started working on Part 4, so Parts 1 thru 3 all got new names (kinda like how Star Wars became A New Hope). Originally titled "Jonathan Joestar: His Youth".
- The only title that's pretty much completely meaningless. Originally titled "Joseph Joestar: His Proud Heritage".
- Refers to Star Platinum, the Joestars, and DIO's fancy new star birthmark. Originally titled "Jotaro Kujo: Heritage for the Future".
- Diamond is not crash, and Crazy Diamond is not crash
- Araki wanted an excuse to name it something Italian (due to the setting), plus GioGio's Stand.
- The first one that actually gets a title drop.
- The second one to get a title drop, and the first one that isn't ambiguous in any way.
- JoJo + Evangelion (as in the gospel, not the anime) = JoJolion

It was a retcon. The anime threw in a few nods here and there, but in the manga it was a character development that was about as abrupt as all get out. In Part 3, Jotaro has three encounters underwater with other Stand users (Dark Blue Moon, Yellow Temperance, High Priestess), and none of them give any hint as to him deciding to pick up marine biology in the future.
But hey, Jonathan was an archaeologist, so it's probably just Araki paying homage to careers undertaken by prior members of the family tree. Then again, didn't Joseph go into real estate?
I listen to Burning Colosseum and the opera song and then Not Alone

I'm not sure it's really a retcon. We don't know much of anything about Jotaro's interests (aside from being a delinquent) at the time Stardust Crusaders take place, and ten years pass between that and Diamond is Unbreakable.

Heritage for the Future is a bitchin sounding title. At least the game adapted that.

Was reading the JoJo's wiki and it clued me onto THIS:
Hell of a neat touch. Means there's no OPs without a Stand in them.

He still doesn't come close, only appearing in 4 OPs if this is counted, but the director of the Great Days OP considers the JUSTICE sun to be Jonathan.
Didn't like it because too me it sounded too disjointed with them all singing.
