Depending on how this will go, I hope Yukako will not only respect Koichi's feelings, I also hope she will become much more mellow and relaxed.

I have this weird feeling that echoes is gonna be alot like cell, now I wonder what came first

I am pretty sure the Cell Arc came first, but barely. Part 4 and Cell Saga were running at the same time. Koichi's hair and Echoes appearance are references though.
DiB started in 1992 and the chapter where Piccolo meets Cell in the city was March 1992.

togashi and araki must really love that arc, or atleast really love cell's design/concept.

Another DBZ reference in Jojo was in Part 3 when Dio got out of nowhere a Dragonball aura.
Araki was such a big DBZ fan at that time.

Same goes with 'Fist of the North Star', as Parts 1 & 2 were heavily influenced by that series overall ridiculousness.

Well, its 40 episodes so they will switch it out altogether at some point around 20. Just a few more months to go!
I don't think it's gonna be something permanent. There are spots where the remix doesn't match at all with the visuals. It feels like they were just messing around with it to see what it was like. I hope so anyway.

While this is true, JoJo OPs are so god-tier that it still is an amazing song. Nothing will ever top Roundabout for best ED though.
It's understandable that high school students didn't own cell phones back in 1999. However, it's inexcusable that Jotaro doesn't own one which would have come in handy the previous episode, considering how rich he is. Bad cell reception, well he could also easily afford a satellite phone.

Is Jotaro rich? I thought it was Joseph who is still getting all that Speed Wagon $$$

Yes. The Speedwagon Foundation has a research division about the paranormal but its really for research on Stands and funds for the Joestar family. He's also a marine biologist.

A lot of scientists IRL are broke as fuck though. But if he's funded by SpeedWagon as well then that works for me.

Of course the tiny ordinary town of Morioh wouldn't just have your regular run of the mill waifu. Jonathan and Joseph had it too easy.
The Joestar family was stinkin' rich to begin with. Even if the Speedwagon Foundation randomly and inexplicably decided to sever ties with the Joestars, they still have enough money to last them a lifetime or three. Jotaro could probably convince Joseph to give him money with a simple "I need money. Got stuff to do."

"Remember when I drove my hand into your chest and revived your old ass?"
That'd be cooler.
Good point, and well made. Jotaro would be comfortably well off with both his field of study and working for the Speedwagon Foundation, so it's not like he's even remotely dirt poor. I mean, look at the clean-cut suit he's wearing!
But with regards to the first point, it's a completely different story in Japan, even in the year of 1992 when Part 4 first came out. Flip phones were starting to become pretty common in most metropolitan areas, and internet service was introduced in the year of 1999. But then again, I'm trying to put logic in the situation, & even if Koichi had a cellphone on hand (some families had one for emergencies), Yukako would've taken it away from him.

Maybe it is? Remember back to episode 1. Koichi was the narrator at the beginning.
Sure, at this point, I'm content that there's at least been an equal amount of spotlight on Koichi as there has been for Josuke, and comparatively little for Jotaro.
Though, there's the guy with The Hand whose name I still forget because he hasn't really done much as of yet. There's been a lot of talk about how much of an idiot he supposedly is in this thread (with a reference to that in the recent episode), but I can't say there's been much evidence to this in the show itself so far other than his brother and Josuke constantly going "You're an idiot" as a basic insult, and a mistake he made in his battle against Josuke.

One of the highlights of Part 4 is how much screen time the side characters get when compared to the protagonist. The variety this adds keeps the fights from feeling stale like Part 3 and its punch ghost and sword ghost fights being most of the stand battles. Also, as for Okuyasu, that might just be manga readers who already know what dumb antics he pulls off and are trying not to spoil them.

I can't even complain about more Koichi kun since the kid can't even punch his way out of a wet paper bag.

I mean Part 3 felt at some points like Polnareff's Bizarre Adventure. I think the difference is that Part 4 is giving screen time to the right side characters.

I didn't realize he was licking Koichi at first
Polnareff was good, but it was mostly his and Jotaro's show. Part 4 shares the spotlight more evenly between everyone, Okayasu is probably the one worst off in that regard.
