THESE INTROS TELL A STORY! | REACTION | JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE | ALL OPENINGS

If you are wondering why there is one intro I had to cut a little, with it being a clone of 2 others...me too :). I hope you enjoyed the content! If there is something you want to watch me react to, please leave it in the comments below!

Bro its gonna get so hype you're going to love it even more even if part 1 is a bit slow it's still great, glad u started it!! And the thing is when you're done with part 6 there are 2 other parts (part 7 is considered the peak of jojo's and part 8 is extremely good as well) completely finished in manga format, when part 7 gets animated I'm sure it's going to be one of the best shows to ever be animated. The 9th and final part is also being written and published right now. Keep up the good work bro u just got a new subscriber!

Fun fact: as you may have noticed, the first opening has a constant theme of comic panels coming to life in many scenes. Since the JoJo manga started in 1987 and the anime came out 25 years later in 2012, this was basically them saying "yes, it's actually happening, JoJo *is* finally getting an anime" to all the fans lol

In each panel is a scene from different eras including stone ocean way back in the very beginning.

Which is kinda strange considering there is the other version. I think it was like “finally we are doing it right” but I don’t think there was any animosity there. The other studio just got it wrong, they didn’t play into Araki’s vision.

[@falco05]

​@@irisvalencia6675Its just a bit confusing to explain, as an example: "basically It erases Time for the entire Universe, everything that happens within that Erased time is as if it basically never happend, but the Result still happens, only that the User is completely excluded from that time, so if a gun gets fired at him in the Erased time, its as if he never stood there, and the Bullet hits whatever is behind him, but for everyone else it seems like that it just went right through the User" It sounds very confusing at first because you need to explain it with an Example which can get very long. The Abillty is Simple, but not that easy to Explain so that it makes sense to someone who dosent know the Series.

To answer your question on what inspired the style of all of the characters, the answer is literally fashion magazines and roman sculptures. These are the author's favorite source material. A ton of the poses the characters make are 1:1 with fashion ads, and you can find the comparisons here on youtube if you like, they don't really spoil anything.

To answer when you said "why are all these characters beautiful", the author himself has said that the reason why he makea poses and fashion for his male characters is to show the beauty of masculinity. And that people don't appreciate enough how beautiful men really are.

[@DaddyCloyster]

Kinda gay, but I'm a jojo fan, so I can't say shit

[@g_g...]

@@DaddyCloyster honestly, I understand why it would sound gay, but he means it in the context or his culture and many other that exceptionalizes beauty to women only. This exceptionlization can, at times, create feelings of lack of self worth and acknowledgement. Which is one of the reasons many men today deeply suffer from loneliness. The topic is a lot more complicated, but I'm guessing the author might have felt oppressed one day in a way, and in order to prove those feelings of unfairness wrong, he used his manga as a median. Though, I don't really know. He is kinda random at times because his way of expression lacks context to his reasons, not because he has no purpose or intent behind these messages.

[@docbrown538]

Its also worth mentioning that Araki is also a really weird dude, in a good way. Everything I've read about him is so strange. He used to think that all cartoon artists had guns in their basements. He's 63 years old and loves ding-dong-ditching. He once answered the door, saw a neighbor he didn't know, went "ah! a stranger!" and promptly shut the door on them (then had his wife answer the door). He once said that jotaro's hat is a part of his body. He might have predicted 9/11. He said that the reason his main characters have thick eyebrows is because "thin eyebrows look gross." His face does not age. He's afraid of bugs, but only when they're indoors (seeing them outside is fine but if they're in his workplace or in his house, he screams). I love him.

[@colt1903]

The Stone Ocean OPs hurt me so much, but SO damn good.😂 The return to the OG psuedo 3D art style used for the Phantom Blood, Battle Tendency, and Stardust Crusaders Openings may not seem like much, but as someone that was watching these as they came out with little to no rewatches in between seasons? Bro. THE NOSTALGIA.😂 Phantom Blood came out in like... 2012 or some shit. Dawg, I WAS 12 AND IN *MIDDLE SCHOOL* when I started this series! I'm going to be 23 next month. This show has been with me FOR PRETTY MUCH HALF OF MY LIFE! I am WEAK to this level of nostalgia! It doesn't stop with just the art style of the OPs. I haven't caught all of them, but I've been told there's call backs to EVERY OP before the Stone Ocean OPs within the Stone Ocean OPs. And one of them I'm bout to talk about is probably one of the BEST call backs EVER DONE IN ANYTHING EVER. In the Phantom Blood OP, the first thing we see is a Manga panel of Jolyne Joestar, the main character of Stone Ocean, and then it rapidly flips through Manga Panels all the other past JoJos throughout the series until arriving at the FIRST JoJo, Johnathan Joestar, who is the MC for Phantom Blood. In Stone Ocean Opening 2, Heaven's Falling Down, during the change up, you see Manga panels flipping from Jonathan, forward through all the JoJos that have come after him. And it stops on Jolyne. It is... Quite literally, the BIGGEST blast of nostalgia I have EVER felt in my life. I'm not even a manga reader, but I just know that scene probably hit them like a shit load of bricks too. Scenes like that, moments like that... Genuinely prove to me that anime will always be better than manga when the creators pour in enough love, passion, and care into what they're making. Some people are gonna take that as me saying manga is bad, but no. Manga is amazing in it's own right, and has a level of consistent art quality and what not that anime can never match due to the nature of what anime is. Likewise, anime can do absolutely phenomenal things, like what I have just mentioned, that mangas just... Can't. Because to make moments like that truly hit, you need the right animation, soundtrack, and the like which pure manga and even fan edits of a given manga simply can't deliver. It's a flaw of the medium, and it makes both forms of the story so much more beautiful than they would be if we could have everything from a single medium.

JoJo is a nickname, and more or less it's how most of the protagonists are referred to in every part of the series, save maybe the fifth protagonist Girono Giovanni , and are members of the Joestar family, whose members and extended family , and their allies are drawn into fights against supernatural and paranormal evil throughout generations of their line . The spirits you see besides them are called Stands and are introduced in the third part, they are basically psychic avatars that reflects the user's soul , and vary in size, power and effect.

[@luxxpanda]

cant belive he figured out a lot of the abilities just of the intros LOL

[@Mattables]

Well they show it all in the intros! It helps that I paused and over analyzed lol

[@alphaedrum]

Something not a lot of people notices about the time freezing variant of the opening 4, is that the credits also freeze on the air lol. Also, there are other variants of every opening but with sound effects, usually reserved for the very last chapter of every season iirc.

[@Nymphonomicon]

Welcome to Part 4, when Araki finally found his own art style and left his and JoJo's Fist of the North Star roots behind forever. Each Part has its own JoJo... and sometimes an old JoJo comes back after he's had his time in the spotlight.

[@huntehrerrhr6581]

6:30 yeah it's basically A NEW CHALLENGER (JoJo) HAS ARRIVED

[@Sleepy0173]

Congrats, you are the first reaction I see that puts attention to the looping part with Rohan in that opening of "Diamond is Unbreakable". People notice the unwind elements but always turn elsewhere or talk over that part and miss it. Also, the comment on Giorno is not entirely off the mark but I'll just leave this comment there xD

[@snakkupakku]

4 months late but I'm so glad you're watching the show now. Don't apologize for the pausing, you had more than a reaction to these openings -- you had a real experience. Now you get the full experience with context!

[@bruh5073]

Every part of JoJo's has a new main character and a cast of characters. All JoJo's are related to each other in one way or another. Previous JoJo's can show up in later parts where they are supporting characters.

[@Valtaoi_007]

I absolutely love Jojo openings because they make absolute 0 sense and reveals nothing about the plot, but after you finish watching the part all the little details you can find makes sense and foreshadows a lot

[@GhostingIcarus]

Hi! I found your channel through these reactions and I would love to see you react to the actual series! I don’t see a lot of people pausing the intros and going back in order to pick apart things that caught their attention, so it was a nice refresher! Plus your personality throughout the reaction was interesting! :D Even if you don’t react to the anime, I’m still leaving my sub for future vids!

[@Mattables]

Thank you so much!! I think ill give reacting to it a shot and see how the copyright does!

[@BeanShoes0817]

I will pitch in to add: another youtuber called NicoB has been doing jojo reactions, and according to him, clips from the english dub apparently don't get flagged as often. Hope this helps!

[@georgerobins4110]

You are the first reactor I’ve watched that figured out not only that there are multiple JoJos, but also who each JoJo is. Well done, fam! Excellent observation skills, honestly lol

[@_yugo]

The best JoJo Reaction so far, I love when you pause and interpret stuff especially because the things you say make sense

[@tonzinho1616]

I just loved the amount of detail he noticed, so many reacts seen and no one ever noticed the details that the fans noticed, FINALLY SOMEONE NOTICED

[@its._.dev_]

This is the best and most accurate reaction ive seen. He guessed so much right

[@mildtora8433]

Also, Persona was inspired by Jojo, hence why you feel that kind of Persona-esque touch to the music or style, whatever you felt

[@wynterkyle4824]

I'm not sure about the music tho... Persona has been out for decades the first time Jojo has ost or songs. While persona was inspired by jojo it was the manga version jojo. No songs. By the time Jojo has it own animation persona4 was out for a few years

[@mildtora8433]

@@wynterkyle4824 Huh, then I guess I was too quick to answer. I think it's more the artstyle and/or aesthetic that I was thinking about at the moment. Tanks for th clarification.

[@wynterkyle4824]

@@mildtora8433 persona series seems recent but it's been out for almost 30 years now and still going. Lots of people don't know that, don't worry about it

[@daviddoesntsucc]

8:46 To answer your question about the 'character behind them', they are 'Stands', and its the power system they use second season onwards! To summarize, they are manifestations of the characters fighting spirit, and usually have a weird or situational ability that characters have to use to their advantage! Think like personas, but there are NO duplicates unless in VERY specific circumstances; each one is different and has different powers, which keeps every fight engaging and interesting, because it allows for effectively infinite variety in villains and gimmicks!

[@aotearoa_goose3261]

Dude you are like one of the most observant people I have ever seen reacting to this and you're getting really really close with so many predictions and assumptions! Good job

[@mikelator96]

This is the most insightful reaction I've ever seen. You are noticing simbolisim meant to be understood after watching the series

[@mugiwarat]

So basically the alternate opening is reserved for when the main antagonist reveals his stand power (the ones you called pokemon) and they usually have something to do with the stand for example (SPOILERS AHEAD) The firs one with a variant shows Dio(the blonde dude) stopping time which is his Stand called THE WORLD's ability,that's why right before he freezes,he shouts "ZA WARUDO" which is japanese pronunciation for the world

[@blakershort2850]

43:05 bro don’t understand the plot… HE PREDICTED THE PLOT💀💀💀

[@OtakuJuanma2]

I loved that you cracked the code right at the end. Most people stick with JoJo number 3 being the only JoJo and they never realize how many JoJos there are. Non-spoilery version: All JoJos are related in one way or another, the specifics of a few of them are spoilerific so I'll leave it at that.

[@GreycatRademenes]

45:50 Hirohiko Araki (the manga author) stylized his characters after a combination of *Renesanse Statues* and *80's Movie Action Heroes* like Schwarzeneger and Stalone. No joke.

[@Davinator12]

Whatever you choose to do just make sure you watch this masterpiece

[@Oramgejuice]

14:04 Omg! You're absolutely right! Its Anubis!

[@Nymphonomicon]

"In what appears to be Kenny G's labyrinth, the sextet are then seen climbing a dark staircase. A spotlight swings left and right 4 times, each swing showing a different silhouette of an Egyptian god, foreshadowing the enemies whose Stands are based on the deities."

[@totallynotdio1311]

,,are they related?!" i love you man

[@scottphillips6005]

The best part of JoJo openings is that they pretty much spell out or spoil everything about the story, but without context there is no way in hell you'll have any idea what you're looking at.

[@AxerSakana]

37:50 this man literally described how king crimson works without watching jojo XDDDDDDD meanwhile... the biggest fans have a problem with it...

[@9000And1Fails]

I would absolutely love to see you react to Jojo. Seeing your reactions to the intros and how you took the time to try and understand them and how many things were getting you hyped, I think I would really enjoy your reactions to the anime!

[@BuddyFox]

In all of these Jojo OP reactions I've watched you are literally the first one to pick up on part 4's remixed intro. Crazy.

[@The_dandy_zombie]

I think the reason to watch Jojo is because how how intertwined it is with modern anime, there's a reason there's a saying that 'everythings a jojos reference" because this is the show that directly inspired so many mainstream favorites. Persona 5 and many many many others, that by itself is a reason to delve into it. Its got a huge cultural impact and I don't think most people even realize that before they actually start watching.

[@dashalosesweight2548]

I love how you've made the connection between the first bad guy who kicked the dog and the 5th Jojo. Without spoiling too much, he's the son of the first bad guy AND the first Jojo in a weird roundabout way.

[@epicendermanpetras6629]

„He has a littel pokemon know😮”

[@georgerobins4110]

The pause on Shigechi and Polpo 😂😂😂

[@Ragequit47]

Yes, i love Jojo's openings because its full of symbolism of whats happening in the show.

[@markstephensajul8244]

11:12 yes. That would be correct. Fun fact In 21:05 The guy in the middle is the uncle of the guy at the left, they are both jojo The guy at the left is also from the past season who fought the blonde guy

[@mettat9062]

I love your reaction. Its not like the other peolple who just say cool music/ idk whats going on. You actually pay attention to the opening and speculate how the story goes. I love it dude. I hope you will actually react to the series.

[@GojosanYT]

Damn this dude is smart !! He literally figured out the characters and the villains like most of the people reacts the op dont even know whos the jojo 😂😂and he almost figured out the king crimson ability

[@Youkesama]

you asked what inspired the style of this show.. the easy answer is "Fashion" the dude who wrote jojo uses lots of references from photoshoots and fashion magazines.. and also music this whole show is fill with music and fashion references.. good show 10/10

[@theterriblemonarch]

Every “part” (season lol) of jojos follows a different main character who are all related and they are that parts “jojo”. From part 3 onwards they have abilities that manifest as physical being hence the weird colourful ghost powers called stands lmao

[@ElekiSerket]

Really good content brother, you caught a lot of details and even accurately figured out a whole bunch of things, smart observations my dude 👌 Ya gained a sub for sure!

[@Ezeebo652]

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure can be described with one sequence of sentences: "I FUCKIN LOVE THIS! EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL! I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON!!!"

[@monkey_mandeluxe7251]

I absolutely recommend watching it. Especially now since the effective first timeline is complete. Don’t wanna spoil too much but it’s a wonderful show that actually connects and for shadows almost everything.

[@Oramgejuice]

45:02 this is the only season set in America entirely so it makes sense

[@sejadlulic8377]

really cool vid. I loved that you kinda figured it out that its a story about the whole family not just some random people. Seeing you gessing what the plot is about and who the villain might be was very entertaining. Good job! :) I love jojos. Its one of my top5 anime of all time. Glad that the OPs got you hooked. The endings are great too, though very different. If you watch the show then keep in mind that the first season isnt that bizarre yet but very important for the story as a whole. From there one it only gets bizarrer (and better some would say :D)...
