Spoiler there is one theory i’ve heard that suggests josuke was accidentally sent back in time to save himself by a particular enemy stand from a timeline where he survived crazy diamond’s stand sickness without the help of that random pomp/without being conscious at the time, causing him to not becone inspired, grow up as a normal delinquent, and fail to defeat the stand user. Spoiler he then went on to become an anbulance driver.
but wait, if he wasn't inspired to wear that pomp, how would he have the pomp when he saved himself? That theory is flawed.
it’s a joke theory, but the answer is bc he becomes a delinquent instead of a good kid, and delinquents stereotypically wear the pomp. canon josuke dresses like a delinquent but is a precious boy and the very opposite of one
Spoiler: Episode 16: Let's Go Hunting! No, Josuke, I REALLY don't think it's that kind of hunting ....A rat. With Stand abilities. I gotta see this did... did he seriously say something in Japanese that could get translated as "kewl"? I love Josuke so much. "if it steps into your range and you miss, it'll never step into your range again". Okay so, one of them will miss and they have one shot each. Gotcha. "set a camera and a rat trap" seems standard enough aaaaand there it is that is no ordinary rat goddamn, melting and resolidifying flesh within their bodies I'm fucking eating, this is gross as fuck lol holy fuck it took down a household already JESUS CHRIST THAT IS HORRIFYING FUCKING RATS ...NICE SHOT ..a fucking gun the rat's stand is a fucking gun I love this fucking show JEEZ, THERE'S TWO?! ok, Josuke, fix them all up and go find that fucking rat we went from pellets to rifle rounds. Well then. whoa, 70 fucking meters? Jeez the contrast between the tense "we might be the ones being hunted"-cut to sniper sight looking at them, and the fact that it's a fucking rat it's just I love this fucking show THE RAT SET A RAT TRAP FOR JOJO I WOW oh, so now he goes "Star Platinum, The World" when he's referring to using timestop? That's cool jeez oh fuck, he missed .....ooooh ok, good, now he's got a clear shot and it's finally fucking down goddammit Josuke, stop bragging and fix Jotaro I'm seriously loving all of these episodes
Spoiler: Episode 17: Rohan Kishibe's Adventure Yeah, Koichi's reaction to seeing him again is... accurate that's... huh. An alley that's right in front of a large public map isn't on said large public map. ngl, if they wanted to hide an alley they did a shitty job :P Rohan: "This is mysterious and bizarre and we need to investigate!" Koichi: "Huh, neat, you found a map error!" oh, a looping maze type thing? Cool! holy fuck, there's something in the sky? "IT WON'T WORK ON LAME PEOPLE LIKE JOSUKE WHO DON'T LIKE MY MANGA" I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD Anyway, that's... well that's one way the girl stopped being a problem? But we didn't even know who she was or if she was actually bad? aaaaaaaaaaaaand she's not a Stand user. Whoops! Ok, so what is hiding here? ohhh, so this ghost story? with the girl and the dog and the hand licking? I've heard it from like, 3 different sources. One of which was the memey "then who was dog?!" format calling it right now: she's the girl. oh, lol, nah she's just being a dick good WELL THEN omfg "I was the girl and we're both ghosts" that's that was casual that's so weird "oh btw, I'm a ghost and you're somewhere in between the living and the dead" nope looping maze, remember? no escape I take it the girl's murderer was, in fact, a Stand user? "stop treating me like a vengeful spirit" YOU WERE THE ONE BEING ALL CREEPY AND SHIT well, yeah, if the way you introduce yourself is "here's a horror story SURPRISE I'M THE GIRL WHO WAS MURDERED AND AM A GHOST!" no shit people are gonna be scared ...though, I imagine most people would get scared anyway oh fuck so, a fuckton of people are being killed in secret what the actual fuck is going on in Morioh ooh, I know who you could use to track the murderer down! Just one question: how many 30,000-yen Polaroids-style cameras do they have on hand? pffff, Koichi with the "don't worry, he's actually as much of an asshole as he appeared" "don't turn around" oh we're pulling some Greek mythology into this too? Cool! that was spooky as fuck well then that's one way to fix it I'm glad Rohan's power is so fucking powerful oh so he was there huh well then, let's find us a murderer! yeah, Josuke's right. If he's not a Stand user, chances are Jotaro and Joseph won't really prioritize him chances that the driver is a bad guy? ....yep that would do it His girlfriend is a hand. ....what the fuck. Spoiler: Episode 18/19: Shigechi's Harvest everyone's focused on their individual problems, such as..... Josuke has no money yeah, cause Joseph spent it all on baby stuff, remember? oh well then To be fair, if you had 1100 dollars and spent it all on random shit, that's... kiiinda on you yes I Googled the exchange rate in 1999 DON'T JUDGE ME (1000 yen was somewhere between 80 and 90 dollars, and has a similar exchange rate now) ....the fuck? A Stand just. There? it. Found. A single Yen? Someone is using their supernatural powers to scavenge under furniture for pennies. OH MY GOD someone is using their supernatural powers to scavenge for HUNDREDS of pennies in public places. That is amazing and honestly the best fucking use for that Stand JEEZ, souring for dimes turns up a 40-dollar loot? I gotta try it someday! Harvest, huh? ok so, it said "these are all 10-yen and 50-yen coins" but like, there's a ton of 100-yen coins in that pile that's... actually true JESUS FUCKING CHRIST 120k in a day?! Okuyasu? Bad. Bad Okuyasu. No stealing from the 100-dollar-a-day scavenger BAD OKUYASU! NO TAKING ADVANTAGE OF HIM EITHER! what are you gonna do? ah, a lesson in friendship oh god, what are you doing HOLY FUCK THAT'S BRILLIANT HOLY SHIT oh, okay, side plot with Koichi? no, just a setup for Episode 20, I guess hey, 350 buck's worth of videogames can probably buy you a PS1 or N64 and a couple of games in 1999, so don't diss it! good news in 3...2....1... ...Shigechi, no, that's. No why would that be the first thing you do with all the money Shigechi.... Josuke... Joseph voice "oh my god...." he does have a good point. Just take the 16% and move on GUYS Jotaro voice "yare yare daze" Okuyasu why guyyyyyyyys Josuke's right oh god here we go, what are they scheming now ok yeah he's being a jerk WHY IS EVERYONE A JERK holy fuck Okuyasu won the lottery aaaaaaaand Shigechi doesn't wanna share. Of course. Welp Part two! yeah ngl, that's sorta the reaction anyone would have if they won 45,000 dollars wait why the dramatic zoom? Is he a Stand user or something? of course they didn't check the "write your name here" thing goddammit oh kanji, you're so fucking weird changing the signature by deleting the plural and turning it into a completely different word I know literally one kanji group (tree-woods-forest). Now I know how it's said! Thanks, JJBA! OH MY GOD THEY PULLED IT OFF yeah, Shigechi, that was a team effort. You picked it up, Okuyasu went through the tickets and was the one who found it, and if it hadn't been for Josuke you wouldn't have been able to cash it in wooooow, what a fucking asshole oh my god HOLY FUCK ok so. Yeah. What an asshole. 2.5 million yen. Why the fuck isn't that good enough? ooh, I'm seriously loving these creative uses of Stands oh my fucking god, is he summoning Harvests inside their bodies? OH MY GOD, HE MADE THEM DRUNK OH FUCK OWWWW ok, so pretend to bow down to him and then attack when his guard is down. Simple, but effective. "did you really think I'd fall for that?" Josuke's "yes" in 3...2...1..... or, Okuyasu being a badass. That works too! heh, nice going. please tell me you kept one scrap to bring the others back omfg yeah, after all that trouble, I think thirds is a good fucking deal wow really? We're gonna go through this again? oh, cool he actually got the money thirds is good this was. An episode.
Spoiler: Episode 20: Yukako Yamagishi Dreams of Cinderella ok so, Yukako Yamagishi, Arc 2! ah, ok, she's pining for him. In a, uh. Somewhat less unhealthy way than before, I guess. oh, that was a quick little focus on that guy. He's the one who I've seen being cosplayed a ton, right? I imagine he's the murderer or smth So, her plan is.... to be attractive to Koichi? Idk if it'll work, the reason he's not interested is more than just your looks but then again, this is Jojo and the makeup person could be a Stand user so you never know to marry a celebrity? Yeah she's a Stand user aesthetician, that's a cool word Yeah, pro tip: when someone tells you something about your life in Morioh, don't bother denying it. They are always right. And also Stand users. "Only makeup and beauty massages". And a bit of Stand power. oh my god goddammit Koichi oh well wow what the hell, that's some weird Stand power "I WANT HIM NOW!" "no, you gotta be patient and have a good heart" could that... possibly be... a further character development arc? ....or not oh my god goddammit Yukako, could you be patient for once in your life? oh my god Joseph still has the fucking baby? wait, she's been avoiding him? ooh! so apparently after it wears off it makes you look weird? oh, the makeup falls off? heh he actually likes her "can you remember your face?" Lol I'd definitely not be able to oh, we're pulling a Spirited Away thing now, are we? "None of these" Ooooh! Let Koichi choose? That's a very good solution heheh, of course that worked kinda dumb of Koichi to offer his own sight like that but I guess it all worked out in the end? anyway. Next up is a plot-relevant 2-parter so I'll save it for tomorrow or another day. We'll see.
Man, the fights with the Egyptian god Stands are all ending in anticlimaxes/punchlines. Although Oingo and Boingo got their own ED, so that was fun.
Let's see if I can catch up with 19 episodes before next Sunday, shall we? Spoiler: Episode 21/22: Yoshikage Kira Just Wants To Live Quietly Hello, person who people cosplay a ton (and who is probably the serial killer Jojo is looking for) I have a feeling this statement is wrong on both counts. he doesn't Stand out you say :P oh DON'T LICK SAUCE OFF OF A DEAD PERSON'S HAND THAT'S GROSS WHAT THE FUCK aaand Shigechi has the same kind of bag as Yoshikage which can only mean accidental switching and discovering a severed hand in a food bag. I give it 2 minutes ...one and a half! 15 years he's been killing people, huh? OH MY GOD HOW ARE ALL 3 OF YOU SUCH DICKS ABOUT MONEY I can't even be mad cause you're just dicks to each other ...omfg he's trapped rip Kira OH WOW THAT WENT ABOUT AS BADLY AS IT COULD'VE ...I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT WORKED that is two near-misses in a row and now I want Subway Yeahhhhhh, I have a feeling Shigechi's chances in this fight are... less than good Killer Queen, huh? yeah, no skipping a beat, we're moving straight into part 2 HOLY FUCK Shigechi is dead? holy fuck Jeez, people see a kid all bloodied up and they go "ew, gross, let's ignore him"? HOLY FUCK HOLY FUCK HE JUST HOLY FUCK at least they have one small clue they got everyone together and he found his next victim >Bash: Haha! Yes, things are getting real. >evilas: YES THEY SURE FUCKING ARE right now Kira just killed his tailor cause Jotaro and Koichi almost found him NICE REACTION JOTARO AND NOW I NEED TO KEEP WATCHING CAUSE I CAN'T JUST STOP THERE
Spoiler: Episode 23/24: Heart Attack Heart Attack, huh? That's the name of the attack? the tank bomb what's the refrance? I got Killer Queen, the song. Idk what Heart Attack is referencing yeah, I'm sorry Jotaro, but this time I'm with Koichi. You're just being stubborn. ....okay, I was wrong Koichi, pull Echoes back JEEZ HOLY SHIT FUCK FUCK WHERE'S JOSUKE WHEN YOU NEED HIM yeah he's not dead yet PFFFFFFFF Chase after the word "sizzle" that's amazing I knew he'd do something like that OH MY GOD WHY DID IT TAKE YOU SO LONG TO TELL HIM WHERE YOU WERE "Echoes Act 2 was killed" Not this shit again. Act 3???? Really? OH MY GOD ...did it seriously say "S H I T" in English? I'm love Echoes OH MY GOD whoa Act 3 can just Do stuff as long as it rhymes? I'm just gonna keep watching >Bash: The tank is actually called Sheer Heart Attack iirc >evilas: ooh >Bash: It's another Queen thing. >evilas: huh I have never heard of that >Bash: Google says it's an album title. >evilas: I really wanna know more about Act 3's powers shorter range Oh man Act 3's "S-H-I-T" is almost as good as Joseph's "oh my god" he bombed a tissue for Koichi's bloody nose? Really? NICE FUCKING GOING, KOICHI Ooooh! Having him lose his temper, are we? OH MY GOD NO NO I SWEAR IF KOICHI DIES YES NICE GOING JOTARO ....really? he's going with the "oh my god what happened I'm just a bystander" strategy? And it's gonna work, too OR NOT! NICE CATCH! oh my god at everything, just oh my god holy fuck he got away but everything that happened from him cutting off his own hand to Josuke using it to track him to him changing his face oh my god that that is one hell of a series of things that happened >Bash: Riiiiight?? There's a reason people like part 4 so much. >evilas: YEAH NO FUCKING SHIT I LOVE EVERYTHING THIS IS SO GOOD >Bash: :D I love how half of my reactions are just, "OH FUCK", "HOLY SHIT!", "OH MY GOD" I sound like Joseph, lol
Spoiler: Episode 25: Heart Father ...well then. I guess if he had to take anyone's identity, an unloving husband is as good a person as any, right? oh my god he kept his fingernail clippings?? Sorted by year????? OH MY GOD what the fuck so. He uses his fingernail lengths. To see when is a good year to kill. what the fuck his father? was he a Stand user? is the camera a Stand? wait what? I mean that makes sense but still okay, they can interact with ghosts using Stands. Makes sense oh so they're also in the photo well then HOLY SHIT JOTARO THAT'S BRILLIANT TAKING A PICTURE OF THE PICTURE -"Josuke, say something cool" -Josuke proceeds to say something extremely lame oh my god Koichi you naive idiot I love you "oh but what if he really can't breathe, I'm claustrophobic too" Koichi is my favorite character in all of Jojo there I said it OH MY GOD IS HE GONNA GET THEM TO OPEN THE PHOTOGRAPH SO HE CAN ESCAPE? yep and it fucking worked because Okuyasu and Koichi those fucking idiots I love them OH MY GOD HOW DOES HE HAVE THE ARROW have I mentioned I absolutely fucking love this show? there's multiple arrows, then. I cannot believe that Yoshikage "Serial Killer McExplodeyboy" Kira is a better husband than the person whose identity he took over and she fell in love with him well then I love. Many things. And have several questions, such as "who even created these arrows? And how?" "Will they find all the arrows?" "What the fuck is gonna happen to Joseph's baby?" Find out next time on "Whatever The Fuck This Liveblog Type Thing Is!" On to the next one I guess! Spoiler: Episode 26: Janken Boy is Coming! oh so the arrow knows who's strong enough? Huh That's a good idea, Rohan! Taking pictures of everyone And the culprit is, in fact, in that album Janken ....oh apparently that's Rock Paper Scissors? oh my god what is up with that kid wow what a fucking brat that's that's actually a pretty good understanding of rock-paper-scissors though there's still a fair bit of luck involved a rock-paper-scissors match... TO THE DEATH! that's my kind of show hehe, I knew he was gonna go with paper now and hmm let's see if my experience with this pays off so, he just played paper twice in a row and won which means a normal player would expect paper a third time and go with scissors but Janken Kid knows he knows better than that so either he's gonna play rock, triple-bluffing him or he's gonna say he'll play rock and play paper again but that sounds too simple ... Rohan will expect him to play rock but we know that in the end, Rohan will win so hmm I would definitely expect Janken to win .....unless they tie they both play paper no they both play scissors here's what I think is gonna happen 1) Naively, Rohan expects Janken to play paper again, and plays scissors. Janken expects Rohan to play paper to counter what he thinks will be a rock play, and plays scissors they tie 2) so Janken defaults back to the original strategy and plays Rock. Rohan plays paper, having worked this out it's either that, or the same scenario but with them both tying with rock then Rohan winning with scissors that's my prediction. That one of those two will happen THEY TIED WITH PAPER HOLY FUCK THAT I DID NOT EXPECT I KNEW THEY'D TIE I DIDN'T EXPECT THEM TO TIE WITH PAPER I didn't expect them to go down the "this is the unlucky choice, huh?" route OH MY GOD AND NOW THEY TIE WITH ROCK and now the third time we're back to #2 and Rohan wins with scissors? I just didn't expect them to tie twice what the fuck ??? OH WELL THEN He, uh. Manipulated his luck, huh? yeah, he did kinda cheat WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT SCENE I can't this is too much I love everything so much And now I guess he can't actually use his powers. Well then. God, what an episode.
I am either on a roll or just straight-up addicted. Or both. I wish I had time to binge more :P Spoiler: Episode 27/28/29: I'm an Alien + Highway Go Go ....wtf the arrow just. Bounced off of him? Uh well then Ooh new intro! I've heard this one before! Probably from Jojo videos or smth I love it oh wow his fingernails straight-up grow fast when he's thinking about killing oh shit, he's horny and murdery she's horny and in love what the fuck did he get himself into meanwhile Josuke and Okuyasu see a crop circle and I imagine the alien is the guy Kira's dad tried to arrow in the neck whoooa ohhh, he's an alien Stando-using alien He got stabbed by the weird arrow.... I love how of course there's just. An alien in Morioh because why wouldn't there be An alien just living in Morioh HOLY FUCK So he can just Turn into sneakers? And he can really jump, huh ohhhmygoooooddddd YOU ALREADY WON THE LOTTERY, JOJO. YOU DON'T NEED TO TURN HIM INTO MORE MONEY ahh your account got frozen, that really sucks .....you're gonna scam Rohan of all people oh my god yep he saw right through you and now he wants your money OH MY GOD HE PLANNED FOR THAT THAT'S AMAZING YES holy shit he got triple 6's immediately lol rip rip omfg I cannot believe this wow he really doesn't get it what the fuck just he just cut off his own finger oh my god seriously? "If I can't figure out how you're cheating, I'll pay you 2M to fix me. If I can, then I'll take off your pinky" >Bash: Love that alien boy >evilas: same Holy fuck that was close ohmy god ..... well then he just escaped on to the next thing I guess? back to Kira ....oh goddammit they have a kid. Of course. a kid who monitors? Their parents? And how frequently they have sex?????? WHAT THE FUCK????? Alien boy has a mom? ........not his real mom, someone he brainwashed into thinking she was his mom? nani the fuck okay now Rohan's seeing shit inside a tunnel say it with me, everybody: "This must be the work of an enemy Stand!" Josuke, is it really that hard to believe that there could be a Stand user in that tunnel? yep, it was a trap At least you know his top speed damn okay, that Stand seems. Really fucking powerful what are you gonna do, Rohan? You gonna get Josuke into the trap? OH MY GOD JOSUKE YOU IDIOT HOLY FUCK ROHAN NICE GOING and now he's on the run Josuke, find him quick okay I can't stop there I'm just binging whoa, it can just appear next to you? So you can't slow down for even a second, huh holy shit that's one way to not slam into a baby he just. Punched his motorcycle into pieces, flew over them, and fixed it back up on the other side, in the air have I mentioned I really love the opening theme? it's really good OH MY GOD JOSUKE YOU CAN'T JUST GO AROUND STEALING CELLPHONES LIKE THAT oh my god he really just turned a corner going at 60km/h and then used pieces of a wall to make a well, a wall it's on autopilot, so it means it could be controlled by anyone. That theory that it's being controlled by the hospital guy makes sense, then man, it's nothing but close calls and finding new ways to get away, huh? aaaand it's out of fuel thought that might happen eventually whoa that I continue to be impressed at the sheer problem-solving skill that the Jojos have like breaking down the door of a car, then trapping the pursuer inside, then using the car's gas to refill your engine HOLY FUCK Act 3 I cannot fucking believe Koichi: "Act 3!" Act 3: "Ok Master! Let's kill da ho! Beeeetch!" What. The actual. Fuck. Koichi you fucking asshole (she so had it coming) but still god I love him what the fuck JOJO ON A BIKE holy fuck and they're chasing him up the vents OH MY GOD WHAT A DICK Koichi, do me a favor and beat the everloving SHIT out of him, will you? oh my god from the nutrients his nose is now a supernose? he ...he drank the IV fluid to replenish himself wow "you wouldn't do something as cowardly as kicking an injured person's ass, would you?" Yes. Yes he would. And you fucking deserve it OH MY GOD "I fixed you up, so I have no longer any qualms about beating you to a pulp" ....oh my god Rohan seriously you fucking idiot "I'd rather have died than have been saved by you" "also btw Koichi just went back to walk his dog" that was an ending lol
I cannot believe y'all would just let me pass right through episode 21 without telling me that this image Spoiler: image was the same image as this fucking meme Spoiler: image
What is this over here? OH SHIT WE HAVE A JOJOS THREAD. How long has this been here? What have I missed out on?? HI everyone I binged all of the JJBA anime in the last two months. I'm hopped up on shonen. I understand all the memes. I look up rock bands on Wikipedia to see if their albums have good Stand names. I finally remembered why I love anime. Spoiler: How do I feel about the various JoJo's Current favorite Jojo is Josuke, or at least he's the one I'd like to hang with the most. Johnathan Joestar is fine but not the sort of person I'd hang with. I mean he's not bad but his life story is "What if Heathcliffe became a vampire and ate Mr. Earnshaw", and and anything that reminds me of Wuthering Heights again is a crime against my brain. Joseph. I adore Joseph and would absolutely strangle him if I were ever in the same room with him for more than thirty seconds. Murder his smug face. Jotaro. While I know Jotaro is actually a socially awkward dork who loves marine biology, he's also a 6'5 giant with perpetual frownyface who called his mom a bitch. If I met him at seventeen I would be terrified. And then there's Josuke, who is a sunshine child who respects his mom and would be cool to hand out with, and would probably fix your bike if it breaks or something. I have only experienced the other jojo's via tumblr posts and fancomics so I will wait on those ones. Also: dumb personal headcanon of the day- Joseph spent most of the moon landing freaking the fuck out, because there was a nonzero chance that Kars was up there. Waiting. Waiting for a ride home.
that is the best headcanon I've ever heard Also hi, as you can see I'm liveblogging Part 4 (with next to no pictures so you can't really see what I'm talking about unless you watch along and know what's coming :P)
Speaking of being too Homestuck for shit. Spoiler: Stardust Crusaders spoilers Spoiler: and a terrible joke Spoiler: you've been warned VANILLA ICE: Retrieve arms from floor.
My understanding is that Part 5 basically opens with spoilers for Part 4, so you're probably better off watching Part 4 first. Also Part 4 is the best part.
