Is it just me or did everyone give up on not talking about manga spoilers in the anime thread because boy there are a lot of black bars
it's mostly "where's the plot" complaints

Doesn't "I'm an alien!" come after Atom Heart Father?
I hope people don't whine about Josuke and Rohan shenanigans

Oh right, forgot about Kira's New Life. I wonder how they'll do that, whether it's just interspersed here and there.
I'm really looking forward to Stray Cat to see the reactions to one of the craziest battles of part 4.

The Josuke & Rohan gambling game is the best moment in the entire part.
THEY BETTER LIKE IT

I'm really looking forward to Rohan and RPS kid jumping like 20 feet in the air in the middle of the match.

Did they ever release whatever that song was on the radio in beginning of the first episode? I noticed they had another one for this episode. I was wondering if those were real songs.

Nah, that's Super Fly. Has a radio tower stand and everybody's favorite alien.
Can't top that shit.

Milagro Man might be the weirdest Jojolion arc yet, and that's impressive. I'm so confused, that's it?
Edit: It's a really nice twist on Sugar Mountain's arc.

Why would he? His voice doesn't change. Just his face.

Tsurugi figured out that something's going on at Morioh stadium back in the beginning of the Aphex Twins arc and talks about how he needs Josuke to go with him. It would be cool if that truck is supposed to foreshadow an upcoming Stand fight.
A Stand battle during a concert could be pretty neat.
He never changes his voice since all he did was change his appearance. Even in the games the same voice is kept between Kira and Kosaku-Kira.
It was always assumed in-universe that Kira's voice sounded mostly like Kosaku's, but in the theater of my mind, I also thought of Kira as trying to remain as monotone and plain-spoken as possible when around the Kawajiris, to minimize the chance that they detect any differences when he speaks.
Not even that. I think he was just so plain that they didn't care or notice. What's really gonna be weird is when Josuke gives Kira false directions when impersonating Yoshihiro during their fight.
Superfly is indeed the best encounter of part 4. I'm a big fan of characters that are like heat his is my stand, but also I have some weird natural talent that is even better and weirder that is not stand related at all.
Dude hides shit in his callouses and does insane climbing.
Also Superfly is a nod to tower of gray.
Also Superfly is like maybe one of the worst stands one can have. There is no upside to it and would be a death sentence if one was not as strong as a survivor as that guy.
Also the alien is there and there is air surfing on rebarb if I remember right.

I don't think it's crazy to admit that Diamond is Unbreakable is a little...inconsistent.

Super fly is low tier part 4 encounter, imo Enigma was better.
Highway Star is one of the best of the post-Quiet Life encounters, everyone can agree on this.

I'd say that's Jojo in general.

Point taken.
As divisive as it is I actually think Vento Aureo is fairly consistent. The final arc bungles things up though.
Also cool gif

Does Kira get that one purple suit or does he get a swag ass wardrobe like Rohan? Does he kill Shigechi while listening to "It's Hip to be Square?"

Found this at the market Today...
(And even there, Okuyasu forgets to use his Stand...)
It's always interesting to hear who thinks what is the best / worst arc in Diamond. There's very little consensus about anything in this fandom (which I think is cool).
Look no further than the recent Damo -> Joshu arcs of Jojolion, hah.

Yeah but Nut King Call is a cool as fuck Stand so I can't really hate an arc where it appears
Gotta be honest: Jojolion isn't very good. Even the Damo arc really failed to get me going. It's just so weirdly paced and hard to grasp.
I actually enjoyed the Joshu arc more because it kind of reminded me of the stupid one-off adventures of Stardust Crusaders and Diamond is Unbreakable.

The comment in the anime thread wondering if Kira was a natural Stand user or if Keicho shot him with the Arrow made me think about how clumsy it is that Araki tried to shift into the evil Stand users fighting the heroes to protect Kira plot by... giving Kira a second Bow and Arrow, with very little explanation.
Ever since Part 4 was announced I've been wondering if they'll ever explain that a bit more*. Like, Yoshihiro makes it sound like he just randomly met Enya in Egypt and was given a Bow and Arrow; he didn't seem to be a pawn of DIO like the Nijimura dad, so what happened there? Did Enya just sense this guy was a potential Stand user with a fucked up kid? Did she have a special sixth sense to detect other old parents of serial killing sons, and give Yoshihiro the Arrow out of camaraderie? Did DIO think it sounded like a hoot to randomly give a serial killer's father a superpower arrow? Did DIO feel Josuke's presence in Morioh, and in some hippy bullshit speech with Pucci decide that it was "gravity" that brought another Morioh resident to him?
Then that last part made me realize that despite Stand users gravitating to other Stand users, that Kira and Josuke have both been living in Morioh as probably its only Stand users for years and nearly hitting Koichi is seemingly the first time they've encountered each other.
*I've also wondered if they'll at least add a throwaway line of Joseph saying that he's tried Hermit Purple to find Kira but he doesn't have enough information or Kira's mental desire to be hidden is too strong or whatever
