They've avoided songs and bands that are also Stand names so far; don't think they'll stop now.

If Okayasu wanted to get closer to Yukako and Koichi why didn't he just use the Hand to bring them closer to him? Watching these two idiots enjoying their live action soap opera is hilarious. Yukako wants every piece of that small ass Koichi kun cake.

Oh my fucking god. Just walk away Koichi kun, you don't need to dip your dick in crazy...But dat sweater doe...wouldn't be JJBA without some random batshit shit happening. This woman eyeballed Koichi's measurements perfectly and something tells me that's not her stand power. Yukako with that jealous mean bitch Jojo pose, damn. Class rep probably about to get fucked up. Yukako's hot as fuck, but her head is fucked. I'm confused with this one, I wouldn't know whether to avoid her or just say fuck it and just not deal with other women. She's devoted as hell, but also she's crazy.
Depends on how much, if any, significance they place on an ending song's thematic relation.
If the powers-that-be play it looser like they did with "I Want You", then Machine Head is a decent pick (but I'm biased, bc I personally love that beat).
If they want something more closely linked to a specific aspect of Part 4 content, like they did with "Walk Like an Egyptian" for SC, then the needle on the compass is probably pointing in another direction (but again, I'm biased here, because my golden pick, however sweet, is not going to be cheap).

I just noticed Josuke has a little bandage under his eye from where he almost poked his eye out last episode.

Music liscensing is weird in Japan, using big name bands isn't as prohibitive as it is in the west. (Probably because western acts aren't as big and have no influence here) You hear things like the beatles on variety shows all the time, even though everyone made a big deal when they used em in Mad Men.
If they use Queen I'd like "you're my best friend", "who wants to live forever", or "play the game."

Why doesn't Koichi just call Josuke on his cell phone? This anime is so dumb.
Can't tell if serious

As a manga reader, seeing Yukako reminded me how much I
Dat Prince album..
Part 4 takes place in the late 90s. You know, before cellphones were commonplace?
didn't approve of the pairing in the end. Araki tried to make it cute but naw man she's crazy af.
I still think she's cute tho.

well part 4 is set in the year 1999 and was written in 1992 and in 1992 cellphones looked like this
i dont think Koichi could just keep his cellphone in his pocket, and if he could Yukako would just take it away considering she cut the phone line

The answer to every "Why doesn't Okuyasu do X?" question is because he is not too bright to do so.

Yup, it's kinda Araki's way of handwaving how all the characters end up encountering each other.
Oh and in case anyone hasn't figured it out yet, this encounter takes cues from this Stephen King story-
And Koichi would notice anyway.

It's a bit of a waste they didn't play the ED this episode. Would have been really appropriate. Sort of.
"I Want you" plays over the action like the one time in part 1 with Zepelli and Roundabout.
PERFECT.
Bringing up the Palm comparison again from HxH, they're both fairly similar and Palm does become a prominent character in that show after her introduction.
Though I dunno if Yukako will after this all blows over. I'm guessing she'll have the same frequency of appearances as that small dude with the money chest stand so far.
Palm is kind of a Yukako ripoff isn't she.

More of a Sadako knockoff more likely.
Japan has a thing for the murderous long haired brunettes.

Is Yukako's personality a result of having a stand or has she always been bipolar as fuck?
She's always been like this.
Yukako's stand is based on her obsession with beautify, thus hair manipulation.
Stands usually reflect or amplify certain characteristics or traits not the other way around. So probably the latter.
JadedWriter

Well that's scary. So with this being somewhat based on Misery I take it Yukako's going to try to smash Koichi's ankles with a sledgehammer?

My memory of the encounter in the manga is rather dim but he can always echoes her ino not doing that xp

Can't wait for Echoes to throw the katakana for "don't break my fucking shins" at Yukako and have that shit reverberate through her body.

He has to be careful since his Stand is pretty weak against her in a upfront fight.
This is a good point, as during his confrontation with Tamami showed that Echoes is an incredibly weak stand, as far as physical power is concerned. Koichi has to be pretty tactful (which isn't something he's good at) to make sure he can strike before Yukako does something incredibly horrible to him.

It's kind of sad that Echoes can't even physically over power the hair stand of a high school girl. Koichi can't even lift himself up, but the hair stand did it with ease.

No jokes, everything is extremely srs.
Well, given that Koichi's stand had hatched from an egg, I'm hoping Echoes will get a power boost somewhere down the line. Especially since the most common thing a Stand does is to punch the living tar out of your opponents.

Couldn't they update it with the characters having flip phones & such? Then again, given how rural the town is, I guess phone reception will be pretty crummy, even in the year of 1999.

Well, it is called Echoes Act 1 when the mid-episode portfolios come up.

I would say the same. Physically she reminds me a bit, and it's also bipolar, and also uses hair powers.

Palm and Yukako are both based on the same kind of mythological ghost creature. It's the same kind of ubiquitous long black haired ghost girl in The Ring, which existed way before The Ring

Would be a damn shame if Imperfect Cell couldn't punch the shit out of someone. His stand is probably at least physically weaker than Hierophant Green.
