[@xaero96]

Hope I'm not ruining it for you, but Araki makes it weird on purpose, but he's great at making it look unintentional lol. In one of his interviews, he explained that the way he writes is by taking popular manga tropes and bringing them to an absolute extreme, which is how parodies are made, making Jojo effectively a parody of itself, which is why people love it. What you're seeing is not an accident.

[@ArcticTehWeirdo]

It's really nice to see how just the right piece can completely change someone's viewpoint of a whole genre of media.

[@ecthelionnn]

“ You thought it was another one piece video but it was, I , DIO ”

[@TrinexxSlayer]

if the one piece somehow turned out to be Dio, that would make soooo much sense

[@joelsasmad]

11:25 I think an important thing to understand about about Dio here: when he becomes a vampire he literally and figuratively sheds his humanity. He was already an evil person but it came from an understandable place of an impoverished, abusive childhood and jealosy towards the Joestars. After his transformation his insecurities about becoming his father, his pain over his mother's loss, and so forth, it is all gone leaving behind a truly evil.

[@alexsere3061]

While I like this interpretation, one of the characters says that he was clearly born evil. I interpret that as arakis intention, cause he is extremely inhuman in his actions from his first minute on screen

As the series progresses, you will begin to notice the extreme prevelance of two consistant facts. 1) Most characters are a musical reference. 2) Araki is tricking you into learning cool facts he learned.

[@Syco07-pm3iz]

Also many poses are inspired from fashion magazines

[@xxxhjhlppxxx]

2.1) Most of the cool facts are actually made up by Araki because he feels like it should be the truth

[@stefanocremonini2656]

Dio Brando is a fucking reference to RONNIE JAMES DIO

[@FuckYoutubeAndGoogle]

Most characters are not musical references, their names are. There is a big difference between these two things.

[@TerrelSam]

3) Speedwagon is best girl

[@animagamer2]

I'm so glad she liked Phantom Blood, I never get people who slander it. But I am really excited about what comes next. The Jostar that still lives in my heart to this day.

[@Sugarman96]

It's probably the most tropey shonen of all the parts, maybe that's why it's the least popular. It's definitely better on a reread though, Jonathan is probably the most compassionate and noble JoJo, which is most apparent during his final moments with Dio.

[@aino-kaisav5504]

Phanton Blood's writing really is "Victorian adventure literature meets anime" in the most chaotic way possible and I really enjoy it.

[@realKhalilG]

Oh Merphy, Hamon has no limits. It functions as the scene needs it to.

[@SuperGoodbadguy]

[@Doommaster677]

[@yanuarpdt]

Ah, so you're finally meet our favorite Waifu, Speedwagon.

[@HellYeahGaming]

While yes JoJo changes quite a bit very rapidly, I wouldn’t worry about losing the absurdity of it all. It’s still insane chaos all the way up to where we currently are in the manga, Part 9, but Araki gets… more structured in his insanity? Probably not the best way to describe it, but he vastly improves in his writing of themes and characterization while maintaining the same nonsense. You wont have to worry about the bigger changes happening until part 3, anyway. A common joke among the JoJo fandom is that it’s impossible to spoil JoJo for someone because any scene or panel you could show them makes just as much sense whether in context or out of context. XD

[@Nastara]

I also like JoJo from episode 1. Jonathan getting wrecked and then getting his gentlemanly revenge is so good!

[@NexusBecauseWhyNot]

Jojo's a very special thing for me, the whole thing about enjoying the chaos described perfectly what I love the most about this show. The parts and protagonists and all that is actually a really good thing because the story doesn't get boring, the villains get more and more powerful but this whole split parts mechanic means that the author is not stuck on a power-scaling curve, the next MC might be weaker than the last one, but more creative with the way he uses abilities and so on. I'd absolutely love if you'd continue to share your thoughts on the further parts as well, maybe even dabble a bit into the manga's story and artstyle evolution for a video (because there's a whole lot there to talk about xD).

[@dudeguy8686]

To touch on one of those points, how Araki handles those different parts is one of my favorite aspects of his writing. It's that respect he treats to what came before, i think, that does it for me. Also, really want to campare that writing to a worse example of another series, but to avoid spoilers, I'll just leave the names Amado, Eido, and Code, and if you know, you know.

I will be biased as a manga reader that Araki has gotten better over time. As much as I have nostalgia for the early parts of Jojo's, each part gets progressively better than the last.

FUN FACT MERPHY: the reason there are several scenes where the characters pose and the colors invert or switch is because in the manga, there are no canon colors for the designs of the characters, while the anime chooses only certain colors to depict the characters as, any colors are could be used for them

[@royalfun1031]

Crazy

[@Fireywhiteboi]

The colors are also used as symbolism. There is normal colors through part 3 but in part 4 they somehow make the sky yellow and purple and it doesn't even make us blink an eye it looks so perfect for some weird reason

[@Corredor1230]

Is this also why Morioh has yellow skies and green pavement?

[@Fireywhiteboi]

@@Corredor1230 it looks so natural we don't question it

[@TheXerforce]

So Jojo as a series is a weird one because in some aspects every part completely changes everything, but also every part is still uniquely Jojo. Jojo at it's core is more like a shared universe with a bunch of different types of stories. They all generally have different casts of characters and tell different stories but what makes them uniquely Jojo is still integral to each part, things like the absurdity don't really ever leave because that is at it's core what Jojo is. I think it's more accurate to say that Jojo evolves with ever new part as Araki is able to try out different types of stories with different powers. It really is like watching a writer evolve over the course of several decades in a way you don't really see with other long running works because they are ultimately tied down by what came before. Jojo's part system really frees Araki to do pretty much whatever he wants and that's ultimately what has kept Jojo so fresh for over 3 decades. There will be parts you aren't as big on but that is more just due to preference of different story types over others.

[@laserenforcer1317]

The true genius of Araki is that he puts his characters first. What they do and how they do it always matters even if the story goes off the rails sometimes. And the characters only get better from part one.

The fact that you loved Part 1 as much as you did is a good thing. Araki (the series mangaka) is so integral to the series' tone and identity and all he does is hone his skills more and more as the series goes on. You're going to love the other parts!
