I filmed this about a week and a half after finishing these episodes because I was focused on getting those final AoT videos out. I seem to have managed to remember names WORSE than normal in the gap. You deserve this for making me watch Foo Fighters die

[@sanji_joestar]

We shall suffer 😂😭

[@alvesraphsrevenge6616]

So true Queen, this is all on us. Least mad woman Annasui is still alive❤

[@Yoruislife]

Hi Merphy are we not getting the Look Back/Goodbye Eri videos?

[@dadandadandan]

​@@Yoruislifemb she did not like it, I think she said she would do a video only if she enjoyed it.

[@Yoruislife]

@@dadandadandan has she said she doesn’t like it somewhere? I know she said the 2nd part but I was just making sure

[@CruelusRex]

Love it how she was so worried about saying Anastasia instead of Anasui but then says Father Pookie with her whole chest, not a single ounce of hesitation.

[@Maquinoide-001]

Wdym, thats his name

[@no-longer-human007]

His name is pucci like gucci ​@@Maquinoide-001

[@Stalker_UwU_]

That's his name now

[@bluecoconut9543]

DIO definitely called him that

[@fukinsikk]

😭😭

[@cfs_pr]

12:09 Father Pookie 🥰

[@austinbeale2054]

Hey, Netflix decided to spell it Pucchi, and you know how that's pronounced in Italian? Pookie

[@pikablu_25]

I mean... he is

[@Bigv1rus]

God Ultimate Being Serial Killer Devil Pookie

[@Jooberwak]

I get why the prison isn't a very scenic or exciting place to set a JoJo story, but what I credit it for is constantly putting the protagonists at an environmental disadvantage. There's an added complication to every fight of avoiding detection and complying with the guards, and it particularly suits and showcases a crafty and versatile Stand like Stone Free.

[@RookieREX]

i think the setting was fine in the manga, the anime probably didn't put the same effort in as Araki.

[@novum2915]

​@@RookieREX You phrased this as if you didn't watch the anime and are coming to this conclusion? In my viewpoint I read the manga first and thought the anime did an amazing job with the setting, I didn't see any specific flaws or differences that would have made it worse or changed something specific that made something worse

[@novum2915]

@Jooberwak Otherwise, Murphy is justified to have her opinion about not liking a prison setting of course, but I agree with your comment. I think the setting was unique in the context of a Shonen manga and for Jojo's itself. Plus the constraints of the environment are what leads to a ton of the amazing tension and situations throughout the time spent there that otherwise wouldn't be possible. These people are stuck in one place essentially being hunted while trying to break out. The priest Pucci who is hunting them can go around the prison but the reasons as to why he is going around can't seem too suspicious as he is concealing his identity, to me it just is great storytelling made possible by the prison

[@karigirl34]

Father Pookie is sending me 😂 I love how much you’re loving this so far and the JoJo fight/kid fight analogy is cracking me up- thank you for that 😂

[@THEGREATMAX]

Father Poochie - "I must go, my planet needs me!"

[@ConcerninglyWiseAlligator]

That was how DIO called him.

[@THEGREATMAX]

​@@ConcerninglyWiseAlligator I'm pretty sure the japanese pronounce it the same way they do "pussy". I think the point was that having a priest with a really lewd name showed he was actually a monster right away. Something about combining what is sacred with the profane.

[@mordraug6662]

​@@THEGREATMAX they do not. It is pu (as in put) + pause + ch (as in cheese) + i (short). Pussy would be with an sh sound instead and long i. Pucci is simply a reference to the fashion brand/designer Emilio Pucci, and in Japanese you say it very similarly how it is in Italian. Alas, there is absolutely zero intention by Araki to what you proposed, it would not fit anyway imho and would be kind of lame.

[@SwedishDuckey]

I "enjoy" how Merph said Pucchi

[@Hat_shaped]

Father Pookie 👉👈

[@kylepommier5398]

@@SwedishDuckey Count the prime numbers.

[@IfOUGHTpIRANHAz]

It’s Italian, right? So “cc” makes a “ch” sound.

[@mordraug6662]

​@IfOUGHTpIRANHAz Pucci is an Italian fashion brand named after Emilio Pucci. The "cc" is pronounced as "ch" in "cheese" and there is a slight pause (called a glottal stop) after the "pu". Pu (as in put) + pause + ch (as in cheese) + i.

[@kylepommier5398]

@mordraug6662 I've always heard it pronounced as poo chi. I hate the Anasui change to Anastasia. He's still anna sue e in my mind.

[@abdulrahmantafech4173]

No mention of Ermes 😢

[@danraider482]

She misspoke her name as Jolyne, but she was mentioned

[@gabriellbraga7732]

No matter what anyone says, Merphy isn't ready. Part 6 has my favorite cast and finale of ever.

[@smoovbynature]

Shhhh, let her get there...😈

[@oilchange-gb9vb]

The part 6 ending is legitimately unmatched. It makes me so miserable. Peak.

[@smoovbynature]

@@oilchange-gb9vb i never understood the Part 6 hating....it is the culmination of all the previous parts and the nexus that springboards Part 7... without saying too much, I think ppl aren't used to an ending they didn't expect.

[@the03k]

Part 5 still has my favorite cast, but Part 6's Stands and ending are genuinely just so peak. I can't wait to hear Merphy's thoughts on THAT fight with jolyne. People don't call her the smartest JoJo for nothing.

[@isaiascanete6651]

Hermes was so unimportant that Merphy atributed her first fight to Jolyne hahaha Jolyne is my favorite jojo and the ending of part 6 is one of the best in fiction for me. Foo Fighters is one of the top 3 Jobros with Bruno and Polnareff

[@nes-fl7mz]

Was she tho?

[@mordraug6662]

Fun fact: Anasui in his first introduction in the Manga was a woman. He suddenly became a man afterwards. There are multiple FAN theories why, both in terms of Araki and Manga, and also in-verse. We don't really know the reason, this is all just fan speculation. One of them is that Araki wanted to have a lesbian romance plot, but his editors told him no (and to make Anasui a guy to make the "team" more balanced, or this could be why Araki himself made Anasui a guy after his reveal scene). In-verse it could be that because Anasui's Stand Diver Down is able to modify inner structures, so he used it to change his body structure and essentially enable him to warp into a fully feminine appearance so he could slip into the female prison section. Loving that you're enjoying Part 6! Imo it is the most underrated Part, it's a shame Netflix killed its hype with the ATROCIOUS release schedule. Can't wait for your thoughts on the third batch, it's really BIZARRE and insane, especially the ending. I hope we'll get Part 7 Anime eventually, it's the greatest JoJo Part. I also hope you'll check out JoJo spin-offs (Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan, Deadman's Questions and Purple Haze Feedback are at lest some must-reads)

[@theLikou1]

Probably the truth is more like "He changed his mind". It happens a lot in manga, sometimes they can even add the changes in the compiled volumes.

[@mordraug6662]

​@@theLikou1 yeah, pretty much.

[@francescominoguarino827]

In an interview at Lucca, he said that he wanted to create a character that defied gender. This Is mostly a fan speculation, but One of the Pages that was removed from the anime was Jolyne meeting with trans prisoners. I think it's possible Annasui was originally supposed to be trans, but was changed. Recently we have gotten a trans JoJo character with Dragona, so maybe

[@chonccy]

Merphy I love your content. Please, I beg you, never call that man Weather Forecast again🤣

[@NonAnonD]

Pretty much the only context where “In Prison?” will be accompanied by pure joy in the thumbnail

[@stormRed]

Except maybe for a video titled something like "You'll never guess what happened to this corrupt cop!"

[@corrinflakes9659]

@@stormRed Araki himself would approve.

[@justsomedinosaur9440]

Original names and localised names: Characters: Narciso Anasui - Narciso Anastasia Weather Report - Weather Forecast Enrico Pucci - Enrico Pucchi (Pronouncing are the same though) Stands: Stone Free - Stone Ocean Kiss - Smack Foo Fighters - F.F. Weather Report - Weather Forecast Whitesnake - Pale Snake

[@kneau]

"Weather Report - Weather Forecast" Regardless of location, these are two very different - albeit it meteorological - things! I'm more bothered by this than expected.

[@theLikou1]

I hate the localized names.

Ah yes, father Pookie. Sorry, it's so funny. This was a great video. I'm so looking forward to the next one.

[@gabriellbraga7732]

Araki to his editor: "So basically a priest is in a gay relationship with God but we killed God prior, so the priest wants to bring Heaven using a bone from God that will turn into a green baby."

"so he boned god, but now god's boned so he needs God's bone?" "Yes."

JoJo villains are really horny

[@tajito256]

Awwwww Pookie hahaha. That's so adorable you call Pucci that haha

[@DynamiteRyper]

Episode 5 of Part 6 (Prisoner of Love) is one of my favourite episodes of all time. I love what it does for Jotaro as a character and how it builds the bond between Jolyne & Jotaro. It’s so painful its peak.

[@zephshoir]

I noticed no mention at all of Hermes 😅

[@elfsatyr]

Same!! so sad lol

[@BEASTYMUZIK]

no fr the hermes erasure is kinda concerning

[@SunniestAutumn]

Pucchi: "Aww, noooo, you're my pookie!"

[@captainsmokey2977]

We stan Father Pookie ✨️💖

[@MagillanicaLouM]

Stone Free is indeed one of my favorite Stands cause of the "this power is inherently weak and lame but is used in epic ways that make it thr most entertaining skillset in the show" factor. Of course in this case it lends credence to Jolyne's own ingenuity, especially as a Joestar. Though it is funny how we went from abilities like Sunlight Kung fu, stopping time, turning inanimate objects into organic beings to....string lol. Also yeah, Foo Fighters is a treasure

[@kadachi16]

I love how throughout the series, it becomes more and more unhinged with stands becoming so creative and wacky. The overexplanation is something I usually do not find enjoyable, but man does Jojo always make it feel right

[@Hoodles321]

I just , 6 or so minutes ago, finished the series, I’ve been watching for years, 4 or 5, I like to enjoy things lol, and it is absolutely my favourite show of all time, fantastic truly fantastic, I can’t explain why because I would be here for hours but just wow, I am so happy. Can’t wait for Steal Ball Run but I am just content, inspired and bittersweet, what a great piece.

[@chaeyoungmymeowmeow1536]

someone tell her about heaven ascended dio i think she might like that

[@jamesgrenier8856]

Every part of JJBA is technically better than the previous part in some way, part 6 is the best in a lot of ways. Hirohiko Araki has really honed his craft over the years

[@BlackReaper0]

That descprition of the shoe scene is just beautiful.

[@oilchange-gb9vb]

I am so glad you like Anasui. He's a bit divisive in the fandom, so it's always a W when somebody likes him.

[@laughtrack1426]

Never understood the Anasui hate. He’s the epitome of a JoJo character😂

[@oilchange-gb9vb]

@@laughtrack1426 Some people think he's a sex pest. Maybe I'm just desensitized to anime pervs, but that read just always felt like a reach to me. He's definitely weird, and the way he interacts with Jolyne is a bit unhealthy, but he's not doing stuff to her without her consent. He's just trying and failing to get her attention and show her that he loves her. Not even a case of him persisting after getting turned down. It seems like she just doesn't notice because she's more preoccupied by her father's declining health and the fact that her life has been completely ruined. And he doesn't process her disinterest because it's heavily implied that he's neurodivergent and also he's been in prison for years and the only people close to him are a small boy and a 40 year old man. Anasui thinks he is the female lead of a shoujo manga when he is actually the comic relief of a seinen and people hold that against him unfortunately.

[@RookieREX]

he's just a little shallow and one note which i think is why people kinda dislike him. yeah he's dramatic but everyone is, but the things he yaps about is only Jojo so he can get a little boring. he gets more to himself when he isnt around Jojo

[@Nothisndhdudjdjdj]

Hes literally my favorite jobro of any part, other then MABYE rohan but he hates jusuke so i dont even think that counts. Have to say tho paco from part 9 is growing on me ALOT

[@Killerqueen2000]

Just dont care for his personality or his goal tbh.

[@Green-FUKUFUKUFUKUFUKUFUKU]

SHE'S FINALLY ON BEST PART!!!!!!

[@BasedMexx]

Foo Fighters is such a great character. Their story is some of the best stuff Araki has written. It truly is beautiful how their memories with Jolyne and the group made them who they are. They became human ❤

[@Vyhox2000]

I'm glad she's a person of good taste, and can appreciate Part 1

[@celrokproduction]

Its so sad that people will NEVER recommend the Jojo part 3 OVA... That shit is FOR HER. Very serious and horror take. She would love it

[@teeno2680]

They just announced a jojo event for April 12th of next year !! It says it will discuss the past and future of the jojo anime, so it is extremely likely we're getting a part 7 announcement during that event.

[@waifusbewilin]

After you finish part 6, you should do another JoJo video talking about the whole series as a whole. Since parts 7 and on are different.. in a way, a better way, but still different

[@BasedMexx]

Jolyne is the most tenacious character in the series for me. The lengths she will go through in fights are insane

[@larimarum-3546]

Against Westwood it is one of the best fights, not only due the violence but its almost 100% street fight. with stands like support. Altough we did see jolyne taking the boot she literally ties her strings around just before the last meteor,

[@ptr4410]

Anasui is also my favorite unhinged woman ❤️

[@krisg9798]

The most surprising thing in this part for me was that Jotaro had a relationship with woman. Didnt expect that to happen.

[@Green-FUKUFUKUFUKUFUKUFUKU]

I'm so happy she loves Anasui, he's my favorite too!!! Jolyne is my favorite Joestar!

[@sauravarya56]

"Father Pookie" Well she's not entirely wrong

[@light9205]

This part has one of the highest rated episodes in the entire show

[@agnitank5238]

Damn i thought u were on my list of people who did not finish jojo part 6...but u proved me wrong...😢❤

[@MadRelique]

If you thought the World was utterly broken, Stairway to Heaven will tell you to hold its beer. Emporio is the MVP of the season.

[@colonylaser4860]

I love Jotaro and the Killer arc, may be the best JoJo arc, but Joline Part 6 is my all time favorite, almost makes me want to visit Florida.

[@melon3109]

Enjoying things like bio horror and stuff... chance to recommend the John Dies at the End series. For bio horror type town take over story, the second book "This Book Is Full of Spiders: Seriously, Dude, Don't Touch It" is all about that. Highly recommend for funny horror type stories.

[@KumoKumiko]

Ermes and Jolyne's ride-or-die partner teamwork from basically episode 1 is my favorite part. sad we glossed over her...

[@nes-fl7mz]

Yeah, Ermes isn’t one of my favorites but I don’t understand how she never even mentioned her? like not even her amazing episode about her revenge… 😭

[@BtFML1]

prior to the anime, part 6 was really hit or miss for a lot of people. a lot of it was definitely misogyny from having a female protagonist, but some of it was people finding the prison setting boring and other complaints that said, to my knowledge even a lot of those people still believe that the last third of this part are some of the best stuff jojo has ever done, so if you’ve already been loving it so far, i’m super excited for you to experience the rest!

[@theplaguedoctor3381]

Ah, so you're about to find out why canonically there are no images of Pinocchio in the world of part 6

[@Skhar]

The zero gravity fight was what sold me in this part. I mean, it's a prison setting but it doesn’t stop us from having basically a space fight.

[@wilavg]

It's a bit sad that we didn't get her thoughts on how White Snake's ability works and the whole sequence of Jotaro trying to take Jolyne out of prison.

[@angelbarrera3890]

I’m surprised people told you to break this up into 2 parts instead of 3 to experience what it was like for people watching on Netflix

[@daifukulatte8579]

Still waiting for steel ball run adaptation, it's arguably the best part

[@BAMGM]

"I thought I was losing all my favorite characters, I thought _they were all goners..."_ Oh no...

[@busfare5660]

Just watched part 6 last week after reading the Manga last year and it reminded me that this is possibly the weirdest of the series in terms of stands and their powers

[@melonyb4659]

Part 6 my beloved

[@GalekC]

my favorite animated part so far...and yes, i rly mean that especially the dub version, even. sorta had that with part 4, but fully here

[@commonviewer2488]

Dio called Survivor the weakest Stand because of how bad it is. Without Pucci keeping it in a disc, it becomes a huge liability.

[@ApeMan101-lm8ll]

I was just doing homework and then randomly saw that Merphy had uploaded 9 seconds ago.

[@matthewkrambeer2480]

Jail House Rock was 100% inspired by the movie Memento (by Christopher Nolan) , worth a watch if you're interested in it for that reason. It's one of the craziest movies I think I have ever seen.

[@jonas1225]

Would be cool to see you on the Volum One Podcast again, but talking about jojo this time.

[@EdgarNaniel]

Merphy hating on dolphins wasn't in my bingo card

[@jonathonsmith4592]

One aspect of part 6 I really enjoyed was the theme of the prison. It's not super up in your face like ideas of Fate are in part 5 but it's explored in some fun ways. Incarceration is used as inspiration for most of the stands this part. Usually going into a more psychological angle. The power dynamics of prison life can be seen with Gwess (shrinking stand) or with Marilyn Manson (Baseball/ ogan stealing stand). Jail House Lock is probably the most obvious. With people being locked up for so long they start to forget the outside world and anything about their lives outside of the prison day-to-day

[@bridgettelair370]

I too was upset when FF died, she was my fav of the new cast, I appreciated that she had her own soul though! Ah yes the dolphins.... you're not ready for that scene.

[@cakewithbeans245]

I KNEW IT Merphy is a fellow dolphin truther !!!!

[@critica77y77]

To be fair regarding Yo-Yo-Ma, they never trusted it, they just couldn't let it take the Green Baby, they couldn't kill it, and they didn't know how it would try to kill them.

[@JPRequiem]

Foo Fighters MY GOOOOAT! I also think part 6 has one of the best episodes in the series with EP37

[@bcabello15]

Steel Ball Run Hype 🔥

[@Energy.stays.conserved]

we are definitely not ready for part 6 finale and she is not ready for part 7(Steel Ball Run) , hey merphy don't wait for anime adaptation it might take long time maybe in mid 2025(btw announcements of part 7 have leaked) and the manga of part 7 is peak like literally,#2 on global list after Berserk

[@alvesraphsrevenge6616]

I was wondering when you'd be able to continue Merphy, glad you've been loving it so much. I'm wrapping up a reread myself and Stone Ocean is pretty definitively my fav part and a 10/10 for me. I cannot WAIT to see what you think of pretty much the whole rest since its the best stretch imo. Also 18:41 just wanna say how funny this rare case of saying the namw u read in the subtitles wrong "Hail House Lock/Rock" ends up making u right since they localized it for copyright and I KNOW you weren't gonna remember that name right😂

[@rpesel]

I call weather report a pokemon. His stand name is the same as his name so it looks like he shout his name when he attacks 😅

[@TrinexxSlayer]

reminder to check out the "thus spoke kishibe rohan" miniseries. jojo has always been inspired by horror movies, but these 4 episodes really lay on the horror aspects of jojo more

[@pickedceasar1216]

Father Pookie is the most adorable JoJo character ever

[@JoJoDirt]

Pookie🤣🤣🤣 father pookie bear

[@Lloyd00]

Oh I'm super excited to hear her thoughts on the ending!

[@zedsan-g3l]

9:48 Hold up 🤨 I love the Jailhouse Lock ability, Araki never runs out of cool abilities

[@RefugeeJon]

He is Father Pookie and anybody who tries to convince you otherwise is a charlatan

[@eylonaharon6560]

Anastasia is my favourite character in the arc, too !😁

[@mstewie08]

Pay attention to how the character designs change and evolve over the part as well. The manga is fantastic, the art definitely shines in ways the anime wasn't able to capture.

[@RookieREX]

didnt even mention Ermes, a very accurate stone ocean vid honestly.

[@Ryuksgelus]

6 may be have my favorite cast.

[@Chumchou]

One thing I love about part six is jolyne. She hates her dad for being a dead beat, but she is so undeniably a jojo. It is so endearing seeing her come into her own. Also something cute. When jotero first got his stand he locked himself in prison, and now jolyne is in prison when she gets her stand :) AND jolyne’s stand is reminiscent of kakyoin’s stand. Sometimes I wonder how jotero felt when seeing that

[@purpleeivy]

I'm so excited to see how you feel about the next part, and give a warning you've probably already been told 100 times but oh well. Stone Ocean was the final part of this arc of the manga, so the next section isn't just the ending of Stone Ocean, its the ending of JJBA Pt 1-6. (There will be more anime/is more of the manga, but theyre set in a different canon) (Imo it works better as a standalone ending for stone ocean, but its still an amazing semi-series end imo, and it made me sob when i read it, and then again even harder when i watched the anime)

[@aamindehkordi]

i cant believe we're already here, you are not ready, I am tho

[@JPRequiem]

6 is my favourite part

[@KuriousHeroD]

17:49 Wild Strawberry? I’m personally still on chapter 21 and been meaning to get back to it but this statement made me think of the series

She better buckle up for the rest of part 6. Part 7 is the best piece of fiction ever written.🥴

[@nichescenes]

i was hoping she'd remark on the first shonen protag she read of that was a woman. It was a big deal back then and he likely got push back.

Foo Fighters is one of the coolest characters ever.

[@zacharyrichard8228]

Stone Ocean and Weather Report are by far my favorite stands in the entire series. Also you're right about dolphins.

[@GalekC]

Emporio Ivankov is a reference to Emporio in JOJO Stone Ocean. they both own a room that is completely hidden from sight within the prisons, with at least a few queer characters inhabiting it.
