The fucking best. It was torture waiting for the ost to drop after hearing this in Kakyoin's commercial.
It did happen in the manga.

I just checked and I'm not seeing guitar noises. Leg touching yes but no guitar noises.
He touches her leg, but he doesn't play air guitar with it
I thought Cars was a pretty good villain. Dude didn't have 3 seasons of build up the way DIO did, but like, the show at least makes basically everything that happens to the Joestar family out to be at least indirectly Cars' fault and as his calm facade slips over the course of his fight with Joseph and we find out what an utter jerk he is, well, I thought his end was much deserved.

Also Kars avoided killing dogs.
Bless his heart.

I didnt like the stands that much compared to how powers were in first two parts. Someone else mentioned monster of the week type episodes and yea i didnt like that as much. I take back the hate part i just enjoyed first two parts so much that i got a lil bummed out in the third part. Am I in the minority? My tastes can be random lol. I'm gonna try part four. Thanks guys for the responses.

Part 3 is the most popular part, but that doesn't mean there aren't a lot of people that were disappointed or thrown off by the transition from Ripple to Stands. Of course some of those people also reassessed their dislike of the new means of fighting when part 4 came around. It's similarly a fan favorite for doing things completely different compared to part 3.
RIP squirrel.
No, I'm with you there, but it hasn't got to do with the stands for me. It's a mixture of things:
- unlike part 1, 2 and 4, I was already somewhat familiar with the material because of how well-known it is, the games and the OVAs. It wasn't fresh to me.
- the monster-of-the-week format is poorly executed. Ideally, you want those "monsters" to be plot-relevant (and to make the plot progress forward, or at least help develop the main characters). Apart from being Dio whores, most of them didn't have much to do plot-wise.
- I wasn't that attached to some of the main characters, and those I liked weren't as fleshed out as I'd hoped. I don't particularly care for Jôtarô, and Kakyôin could have been more developed and useful.
- The visual style started to annoy me at times, and it was hard not to compare the animation to that of the OVAs - however unfair that is. The final confrontation with Dio in particular had botched art.
- It's simply too long for its own good. Again, if the plot advanced at a brisker pace and/or the characters were more fleshed out, it wouldn't have felt as tiresome.
What I'm saying is: Part 1 and 2 feel much more like actual stories. Part 3 is a collection of scenes with bits of stories thrown in.
So far, none of those complaints seem to apply to Part 4. I like pretty much everything about it
except the OP, which is a letdown for the most part

he knew squirrels are a menace
That's fine by me. If that means our protagonists are interesting and their enemies are not just defined by what their stands do, I'm sure it'll be tons of fun.
... Are you saying this part is the Mad Men of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure? All characters and no plot? lol

There is a plot you found it out this episode, protecting Morioh from dangerous criminals in his grandfathers place.
Tizoc

That part was said after his grandfsther dies in the manga
Kind of strange they omitted it un ep 2
Let's be real, that's not a plot, it's a setup.
That's more of a character motivation than a plot. At least, the way you phrased it.

He does. The fan translations that currently exist (which aren't very good, incidentally) change it and give him dialogue during that bit - but he does play air guitar in the original Japanese.

It's a driving motivation. Much like I wat to be the strongest such and such. or I want to protect my friends. I mean Stardust Crusaders barely has more, since Dio does barely fucking anything.
I think continuing this here is probably not a good idea, but I disagree with your first point, kinda.
Dio hasn't moved since he became a full edged vampire. The fact that he exists forms a threat to the Joestars and vice versa for Dio. Stands already existed before Dio took over, but they became more 'common'.
The result of Dio's existence is still there.

Outside of Cars devolving into a shit brick I honestly think the best part about the Pillar Men is that they do seem to have a code of honor, or at the very least higher moral standards than Dio. Though that's mostly evident in Wham. If Lisa Lisa fought Wham I don't see Wham pulling that clone diversion thing that Cars did.
Wham is my fav part 2 character. I don't know why i like him as much as i do.Him and Stroheim tie sometimes
JadedWriter
Member
Cause Wham was a bro just like Stroheim. Yeah Wham killed Caesar but he fought an honorable battle and gave Caesar his props for improving his skills and pushing Wham to fight his heart out.

I remember ACDC being a bit of a douche, his fight was at least funny. Though I remember Joseph practically curb stomping him. What did Santana even do? I just remember him absorbing Nazis.
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
no one remembers Santana
ACDC got no honor. Sleazy type and the stupid crying out of nowhere was hilarious but made me think less of him
Santana got bodied before he could do anything. On the lvl of pillar men but worth nothing. Cars and Wham seem more respectable.

I'm not even sure if Cars was stronger than Wham. Dude just fought without honor and fought a character destined to job to him. Then he turned super saiyan god.
Talk about getting shafted after super saiyan god. Even OPM can't survive that let alone him
"Nazis that's funny and cool"
"Ugh Nazis again"
"Yay the Nazis are back <3 Stroheim"

Say what you want about SSG Cars, but his pose game was on point.
Is SSG Cars pretty much the strongest Jojo villain?
I still find it hilarious that Guile, an American war hero was based off of a cyborg Nazi design wise.
yup
Best Cars moment
You know shit is about to start
He has some hidden but amazing poses
The Guile being so American memes have made his nazi hairstyle submit
His blood is red but also white and blue,the US flag ain't a tattoo but a birthmark etc etc
Would SSG Kars be stronger than P3 Dio?
Principate
Saint Titanfall
Limited time to kill this guy with super healing
Better steal his head and hide it
SSG is super powerful but we never got the chance
Very few on his lvl. Very few

I thought Cars had that shit on lock, damn!
I asked that in the last thread. I'm sure Dio couldn't Muda and WRRRRYYYYY his way out of that fight. He probably couldn't even kill that squirrel hand.
I'm fairly certain Kars would just straight up absorb/eat Dio now that I think about it.
JadedWriter
Member
I can only imagine how broken SSG Cars' stand would be. So which part has the most broken Stands? 5 I'm going to assume?
Boss Doggie

Wasn't it implied nothing can kill Cars? DIO also has vampire stuff so any contact from him would be auto-KO. Super Fabulous Cars will curbstomp DIO too.
JadedWriter

I'm pretty certain that if DIO got absorbed his personality would just override his and it would just be like MGS 2 Liquid Snake before the retcon. It's DIO we're talking about here.
I need this now
