Joseph Outsmarts The Empress's Outsmarting

Episode 12 - Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders
Joseph beats the Empress and throws back to his younger self in JJBA Part II. Of course I don't own, want to own, or have any plans to weasel my way into owning any part of JJBA. This is merely uploaded for the pleasure of everyone to see the full scene since no one else wanted to upload that. JJBA is owned by its respective owners, and I highly recommend this to anyone as one of the best anime of all time.
And no one cares that you read the manga, take that crap somewhere else.

[@CubedCubone]

I think he meant if they hadn't won yet.

[@sweetcoincidence4048]

I think he meant before the end of the battle.

[@rubysandrats]

I think he meant boasting when it wasn't certain that victory was within reach. Joseph started boasting because Empress was mostly solitified from the Coal Tar, unable to move, and literally like a minute or two later, was being held in a vice grip by Hermit Purple. Victory was basically guaranteed at that point, because Empress didn't quite have any way to fight back. And anyway, it had all been a part of Joseph's plan, more than likely.

[@emeraldashborers4261]

what if empress bit hermit purple though

[@rubysandrats]

thisisconfidentialsowhyareyoureadingthis? I'm rather positive Hermit positioned itself around Empress to avoid that. Had Empress not been covered in Coal Tar, and thusly mostly frozen and almost completely unable to move much less manage to bite Hermit, the likelyhood of Hermit getting bitten would have been much, much higher. But, still, only a Stand can hurt, much less kill another Stand, so Empress getting a bite in could have easily swayed the results of battle in it's favor. Biting Hermit MIGHT have been more trouble than it's worth, seeing as Hermit is absolutely COVERED in spikes/thorns. That's just my view on it and I could be wrong, though.

[@user-om8dc5ne4u]

“Stand can be only defeated by another Stand” - now that’s what explains why Joseph, who fought and defeated powerful Pillarmen, struggles when fighting against Stands. Because Joseph didn’t defeat Pillarmen by just himself, he uses his surroundings and different things such as Tommy gun, clackers, strings, that one well next to the base which held Santana, plane, red stone of Aja and volcano, but he never actually utilizes just his pure power. Meanwhile, Stands can’t be affected by those things, and Empress, taking a physical form out of flesh, is just an exception which allowed Joseph to fight in his way.

[@insertcreativenamehere7584]

i never really thought about it that way but that makes a lot of sense

[@tunoddenrub]

Stands can't be affected by those things... but the Stand's USER can. Mariah is a perfect example of this - rather than attack her Stand (which they pretty much can't), Joseph and Avdol attack HER, in a clever way that uses her own powers against her. Honestly Araki just plain didn't give Joseph enough spotlight. We deserved a lot more 'Joseph finds a clever way to beat a Stand-user without being able to hurt their Stand' than we actually got.

Fights like these are my favorites in all of JoJo, where the solution makes perfect sense but is just outside what the reader would expect. Using spirit photography to make a map of the town was such an intelligent idea and being able to make use of said map without it being an instant win is a mark of good writing. Araki has always been a genius when it comes to making use of terrain during fight scenes, stuff like the electrical wires from part 4 and the icicles from part 2 are prime examples of how Araki can create an interesting mechanic and make use of it in a coherent manner.

[@vynonyoutube1418]

Actually, Araki hinted that Hermit Purple is a Stand inherited by Hamon users, not just Joseph. He once said that if the Part 3 protagonists (or in fact anyone who can see Stands) would somehow meet Joseph during Battle Tendency's events, they would see Hermit Purple manifested on him. We all know Stands didn't manifest (at least on a large scale) on people before Part 3 though. Another thing that supports this is the possibility of Jonathan also manifesting Hermit Purple, that is, if the stronger variant of Hermit Purple that DIO used a few times in Part 3 belongs to Jonathan. Not to mention, Hermit Purple is also the perfect Stand to conduct Hamon, no other Stand seems to be capable of that (though Joseph is the only one shown so far to use both a Stand and Hamon) Here's proof that Araki himself pretty much confirmed that Hermit Purple and Hamon are related: jojo.wikia.com/wiki/JoJonium/Special_Interviews . Scroll down to Volume 9 (Joseph Joestar).

I think this is my favorite episode of part 3 so far. It felt like an episode straight from part 2, and the "your next line" trick coming back was so hype. I haven't made it to DIO quite yet, but as of right now Part 2 is still my favorite.

this is one of my favorite episodes of Stardust because i got to see the real Joseph again, throughout the whole series he seemed like a different character, but in this episode it was like seeing how Joseph should have been portrayed the whole time, the fun genius trickster you outwitted people who had the edge on him, ripened with age.

[@astrophel12]

thats because Joseph become a suporting character, if Joseph was shown like the part 2 Joseph but old the whole show then he probably be more popular than Jotaro. Same reason why Jotaro is on the sidelines most of part 4.

[@Deathmare235]

@@astrophel12 Jotaro still did work in part 4 even more than Josuke it’s just that Araki didn’t want to make the previous protagonist op at the time

50 years can change anyone. Joseph was almost a teenager in part 2

[@forsakenfish]

People change with time, you can't just expect Joseph to stay the same forever. He got himself a wife, family, a kid

[@locusKiwi]

Joseph just lost his edge with time. He traded out his razor sharp skills at scheming in exchange for life experience which allowed him to lead the party all the way to Egypt. Even though he's their weakest fighter, Joseph is the leader of the Stardust Crusaders, and that's a huge accomplishment on its own.

[@domacleod]

It's so very well done to show that he is still the same Jojo that he was during his youth, just with more experience. He's not a completely different character, there are moments where his youthful personality comes through, but he tempered it with experience and the passing of time. I would have loved him predicting Dio's next line at least once though.

Stardust crusaders has the definition of a missed opportunity in it. One of the major side characters is an old man in his late 60s who was the previous protagonist. Later on the group encounters a man who has the power to reverse a person's age and they don't have thise 2 fight and revert the old man to how he was in the previous part

Monsterlord59, its actually explained that due to the appearance of stands, he had to find other ways to outsmart his opponents, and that means his best trick of the line usage couldn't be used anymore, though he finally got one off on a stand user

[@vaniljacob]

It's because Joseph learnt battle tactics in other ways. Stands are a relatively new thing for him, so he left that to his friends (who had more experience with the nature of Stands).

[@cruelsun1227]

@@vaniljacob no no no hamon was also a new thing for joseph. He wasnt really properly trained for it until he met his teachers. Still he found ways to beat his opponents even though he was outmatched. Joseph knew about stands before jotaru so what your saying is nonsense. He was just too old and the writer nerfed him to make the new main character (jotaru) stand out more who has one of the most op stands in the series and yet joseph only got hermit purple. Had they given him a better stand and use hamon more often and actually made him like the young joseph ( like predicting lines every battle) Then people would like joseph more than the main character and the writer doesnt want that to happen
