No matter whether it's the manga or the anime, I always laugh when Jotaro explains to Josuke that you can't bring back the dead with a Stand, because I always imagine he's thinking "Except for that one time when I totally brought your dad back from the dead after our weird vampire grandfather attacked him."

 

[Professor Renegade]

Rohan is just perfection. Dude's the best.

I'm sorta love hate when it comes to him. Dude is smug as fuck, but he has that quality about him that makes him tolerable when he's in a stand battle,

Spoiler

except when he totally punches that sixth grader.

 

[Nottle]

I was wondering am I alone in thinking that Part 5 is the worst when it comes to stands making sense and being consistent? Gio's abilities out of the gate seem op when anything he brings to life that gets attacked can reflect back to the attacker. This ability is forgotten seemingly after his fight with Bucceratti.

 

[cntr]

Yo, the theorycrafting!

 

[Professor Renegade]

Yo, the theorycrafting!

Gotta be honest, I thought all the arrows had beetles on them after seeing the beetle one. That's fucking nuts.

 

[SolarKnight]

Oh wow I never even noticed the part 4 and 5 arrows looked different to begin with.

Considering to this day there are still discussions on how King Crimson and GER works I doubt anyone disagrees lol. Also, remember GE filling you with so much life with one punch your mind moves a fuckton faster than your body? Me neither.

It's not even a part 4 to 5 difference, it's that specific arrow. Polpo uses a normal hole arrow, Jolyne is pierced by a hole arrow shard, but Pucci has the beetle arrow.

Like it's dumb to get hung up on this, but vanilla gold experience should be invincible if you were to say just turn the dirt someone is standing on into a bunch of ants that are instantly squished and reflect the damage back or turn someone's clothes into a bunch of venomous snakes. Not to mention Purple haze, Metallica and King Crimson. Purple haze and Metallica should win as soon as the fight begins. Sort of hope the eventual anime adaption helps demonstrate some of part 5's abilities because personally I felt like that part was bad at conveying action unlike part 4 which if memory serves me right mostly keeps Josuke's powers consistent.

You think the music choices for the anime will be different decades for each part?

Parts 1&2: 70s
Part 3: 80s
Part 4: 90s
Part 5: 00s
Part 6: current decade
Part 7&8: Throw back decade choice?

I haven't read that far yet but I believe there are references in part 7 or 8 to Rhiannah or someone else pretty current right. I mean it's possible but so many references seem 90's and back. Though I guess when it was written names like Spice Girls and Green Day were still relevant. I just couldn't imagine something made like last year being in Jojo.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

I think the music for the endings peak around the early '00s

 

[RadioHeadAche]

Does Araki actually have a say in the ending music choices?

A buddy of mine took the time to read both the translations and the original Japanese part 5 (because he's multilingual), this was a few months ago though so I'm not sure if I remember 100% of what he told me. The way he put it though was that GER's power is all about removing the "effect" from a "cause," as opposed to just sending someone in a constant death loop. So when he began the "cause of killing Diavolo, he was never able to reach the "effect," i.e. his death.
On the flip side King Crimson supposedly removes the cause instead of erasing sections of time, and the reason why people forget what happened is that the reality in which that cause took place is gone and replaced with the cause that Diavolo creates through King Crimson.

[MillionStabs]

I still think the explanation that the arrows came from space is the most lazy part of the whole series. Like, I'd rather their origin be a mystery if Araki is gonna take the easy way out on that.

I've heard it described similarly.

For me, I'm content to just acknowledge KC and GER as "It just works" and "It just wins".

 

[Pappasman]

The fact that King Crimson and GER don't make any fucking sense is way better than a real explanation for me.

that's how I've always thought of it.

KC = effect minus cause

GER = cause minus effect

This just makes me more upset that Joseph slacked off on his Hamon. Can you imagine how much better Part 3 would have been with a younger Joseph? Maybe not Part 2 young, but at least somewhat middle aged so that he's still responsible enough to get the Crusaders together.

Not a 2000s song, but I think Gangsta's Paradise would fit Part 5 perfectly.

I always thought he didn't use hamon to deage himself on purpose, to avoid becoming like Straizo.

 

[Erigu]

Dumber than Dio somehow figuring out all that nonsensical method by himself?

 

[cntr]

Specifically, Dio asks Boingo what would happen if Thoth predicted your death, and Boingo just says that you can't do anything about it, just prepare for it.

 

[jgminto]

It doesn't matter how Dio figured it out. Trying to plot out an exact timeline of unneccessary events like that is what makes people think the series is full of plot errors. There are plenty of answers the reader could come up with to fill those spaces if they wanted to.

Oh, it's not even about the (idiotic) method, then? Too bad, it would have helped explain that one away: "Dio did those seemingly arbitrary things for the same reason Hol Dorse did those other seemingly arbitrary things."

It doesn't matter how Dio figured it out.

Considering the nature of his plan and how ridiculously specific the method he used was, I'd say it should. As Red Letter Media would put it, I guess he was just an expert in things that have never ever happened before...

Trying to plot out an exact timeline of unneccessary events like that is what makes people think the series is full of plot errors.

Not sure how that could be an issue, here, really?

It's safe, but I thought using the Italian name for the series, Le Bizzarre Avventure di GioGio, could be fun stuff. Maybe not a subtitle though.

You gotta use the Italian name for Giogio.

In SC he was still like, late 50s/early 60s? Even with Hamon training I don't think he's still be in fighting condition

 

[Yonafunu]

He was like 68 or something in SC. DIU is 10 years later, and I'm pretty sure Jotaro said he's 78.

 

[RecRoulette]

As mentioned many times, Gangsta(r)'s Paradise is the easy choice, but I think "So Fresh, So Clean" by Outkast would be an awesome choice too.

 

[Matsukaze]

from the anime thread "I want to see old man Joesph again. "

There's going to be such a backlash from the hardcore Joseph fans (the especially vocal ones, I mean). If anything can derail the thread (aside from talking about future parts), I figure it'll be the response to Joseph's arrival.

Also, add me to the list of people saying Gangsta's Paradise should be in Part 5.

 

[Astral]

How does David Pro choose the EDs anyway? Do they pick a song from the time period that they like or what? It can't be because the lyrics are fitting because Walk Like an Egyptian and I Want You really have nothing to do with their respective Jojos aside from saying the word "Egypt." Though sometimes I think about I Want You as a tribute to Part 4 from the fans because holy shit there is a Part 4 anime. Maybe they base it off the tone of the arc? Last Train Home would definitely qualify if this were the case but we can all think of songs more tonally fitting for Part 4 than I Want You. I'm thinking way too much into this....

Another One Bites the Dust for Part 4 second half and Gangsta's Paradise for Part 5 pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaase.

From the interview with the director.

What was the process for choosing the ending theme songs like "Roundabout" and "Walk Like an Egyptian?" Is this a tradition that you want to continue in future parts?

Well, those came from the author of the original graphic novel, Hirohiko Araki. They're all songs that he was listening to back when he was drawing the individual parts. Mr. Araki only listens to Western music because he doesn't understand English, so none of the lyrics come across to him as language, but as pure sound. So we got a list of these songs that he was listening to back when he was writing each part, and we chose songs for the closing animation based on which ones Warner was able to secure the rights for. It was up to Warner to actually do the negotiating. So if there is an anime production of the next part, we'll probably go by the same process. Traditionally, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure has been a gateway to learn about Western music for Japanese readers. For American fans, a lot of the music and names featured in JoJo's are more an acknowledgement of familiar artists, but this is also cause for Warner to be engaged in a lot of negotiations to secure those rights.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

The second half of Part 6 totally will have this as the ED...

Nothing else fits as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Astral]

From the interview with the director.

Oh wow that's interesting. Here's hoping Warner has the rights for at least some of the songs we want.
