Yeah, I also didn’t see a connection at first but then I realized, all the other lessons gyro taught have been implied to be based on things he was taught. Then lesson 5 is something gyro learned and realized for himself.

Ringo is the most relatable minor antagonist for me. I was also often sick and very weak as a child, so my mother always coddled me, but once hardships appeared in the form of worsening mental health, I decided to continually challenge myself through physical activity and education. In a way, I was in pursuit of the true man's world, but couldn't put it fully into words until I read Ringo's arc in SBR

3:07 Its important to note when the gun is laying on the floor between them, in this instant it has become an honorable and fair duel. The fact that it was a very duel like situation and not just any old kind of violence was important to the "fire in the eyes" awakening thing. I think Araki is trying to say something about how abuse messes up kids for life. But in this Jojo version of it, the encounter messed up Ringo not in a sexual way but in a way where he became addicted to death matches.

[@aaronbonner7453]

Probably one of my favorite antagonist in part 7, also just such a good design

[@RedLogicYT]

Being bed ridden and weak. Being unable to protect those around you and never learning certain life lessons due to health issues. Self Isolation & wanting himself and others to be better, and not being limited by societal standards. Not wanting to be weak and conform to society. I relate to this character a LOT, maybe not ideologically- but comparing our lives. Even his power- reliving encounters/events and optimizing your reactions to be your best self, is definitely a reference to his nature, however I also have some self canon/projection about this based off of my own past. I believe this ability is also referring to the PTSD that people with fatal illness AND assault survivors experience- reliving their past- and possibly desiring to change that. That last stuff is pure speculation and headcanon- but still :) Great video.

[@CrusadiaIX]

Mandom has always intrigued me because, to me, it almost looks like some kind of life support device, this weird little biomechanical mass with tubes running from his chest and neck. Given Ringo’s history with illness, it’s almost like Mandom exists not to give him power but to bolster his health so he can pursue his Path to the fullest.

The usage of rewinding time to optimize is actually quite counter to the nature of the eternal return. To constantly weigh a choice is the opposite of the point, one should choose what they can return to without doubt.

I highly recommend that you check out Ashita no Joe, a hugely underappreciated boxing manga to western audiences. If you do, I'd love to see you do a video on Rikiishi Toru, who in my opinion exemplified the idea of The True Man's World. He's similar to Ringo Roadigan in how he inspires the main protagonist, Yabuki Joe, to follow down his own path of manliness and becoming a "hungry boxer".

Isn't it a contradiction for the Ubermensch / True Man's World since Gyro isn't carving his own path but following Ringo's instead of his father?

[@thewholehorse7140]

I don't think Ringo's idea of "The True Man's World" is a philosophy unique to him, it's more of another way of explaining becoming completely focused on what you want, without being hampered by moral restrictions. Ringo's "True Man's World" is living life as a gunslinger, that's what he wants. I don't think Gyro is aims for the same kind of thing Ringo does, Gyro isn't a killer like Ringo points out, even if he becomes okay with it by the end of the fight. Gyro's "True Man's World" is teaching Johnny I like to think, the only thing that made him join the SBR was Marco, he wouldn't of otherwise, teaching Johnny is what he wants to do.
