[@TheHero0538]

You actually nailed the description when you said "Pokemon that reside inside you that you unleash yourself." That's basically how the power system functions after part 3 (when the first rock type opening was). Basically those are called "Stands" because they "stand" beside you. They're a manifestation of your fighting spirit and always have really specific and weird powers and abilities.

13:29 well said, and JoJo's is perhaps the greatest example of diversity in anime, every part takes place in a different place and time frame with new characters and aged versions of previous ones, the situations and abilities are incredibly creative, and Hirohito Araki(the creator) has a great sense of taste and culture which he is not afraid to insert in his work at every opportunity with the style of his backgrounds, character models, names of stands, and personalities(hell there's even a good amount of non binary characters which can be rare in this medium).

[@brycebrown7233]

I'm genuinely impressed that he figured out that time manipulation was a thing in Jojo as early as the 4th opening. Most people don't get the clock references there until they either see the variant version with DIO actually showing up, or watching the show.

[@SorcererVtuber]

The way Dio stopping time THREW HIM FOR A LOOP killed me

[@gingerelvis93]

So kind of a neat thing, because you mention that the songs change theme as the show goes on, that's sort of how the show works, each new series of the show it sort of has a different overall theme/genre type, it's part of the shows charm, that it can tell the stories it does in such differing styles and still keep what makes it entertaining

[@leonardocarolo6961]

Essentially the JoJo Openings change mid series to show the big baddies power. In the Dio one where time stops, the opening decided to include his time stopping power mid opening for a dope effect. Every Part of JoJo has them except for the 1st i believe

[@RebelTheArtGal]

Second too, ya know, being a two-in-one pack alongside Part 1

Fun little fact a few of the openings have official English versions performed by the original singers as well which could provide some additional context( best one imo is fighting gold but Chase is great too )

[@rosaline3022]

[@nyommnyomm]

[@SirGrimly]

To clarify things for ya Knox: Every season of Jojo's takes places several years after the first, with an entirely new cast (par a couple characters here and there) to carry the season forward. The "pokemon" as you called them are Stands, a special power that starts in Season 3 of Jojo's and are the "manifestations of ones fighting spirit." (whatever the fuck that means XD). As for more anime op recommendations, I may or may not have tracked down a vid for Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood's Openings with subtitles build into the video (no CC needed): kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIrEdnZrq76lf9k

[@hiramekimorgan1343]

Definitely recommend that ❤

[@SirGrimly]

@@hiramekimorgan1343 I just wish I could've found a vid in a higher quality than 360p... but without just downloading episodes from Netflix and pulling the OPs via a editing software this is the best I could find.

[@gildedphoenix]

Also to expand on the JoJo: Each season is actually called parts. All of the protagonists (as far as I'm aware) are from the same bloodline, hence the tone change between parts/seasons. Also the JoJo comes from this very fact, from first JoJo, Jonathan Joestar, this nickname has been inherited to the every protagonist and almost always have Jo pairs in their names. (Joseph Joestar is the 2nd, Jotaro KuJo is the third and so on) And lastly, time is a big theme in the show so yeah time manipulating type abilities are in fact main villain abilities, hence some openings have 2nd or 3rd versions. Lastly I do agree the original commentor's recommendation of Full Metal Alchemist. Iirc they tend to have translations as well and one of the best anime ever made and finished.

[@lumencandles4016]

JoJo is centered around the Joestar lineage and their, well bizzare adventures. The first 2 seasons(parts as referred by the author) are about vampires and those who sacrifice their time in the sun for it by using that mask shown in the first opening, the first season is where most new JoJo fans lose their interest as it is the slowest part in the show. Starting from the 3rd part, stands are introduced with the explanation that they are your fighting spirit from within and it can only be acquired by stabbing yourself with a golden arrow which judges your worthiness to acquire such a power. All stands are different and powerful in their own way and usually the main villains with stands have the most powerful ones out of everybody, eg: mafia bosses, a random town serial killer and a priest. If you pay attention to the characters, you'll notice that some of them is spread over multiple parts, such as the Star platinum user seen at 9:38 (note that he changes his drip for every part and so does his stand in turn), he appears from part 3 till part 6 (excluding part 5) but it's hard for me to say why without ruining an integral part of the story. Hope you enjoy this anime as much as a lot of us do, love your content, cheers🙌.

I know someone who hadn't seen the show would not know but these openings are not only beautifully musically composed but amazingly visually crafted so many hidden layers of meaning & narrative behind every single frame.

Jojo is across various generations of the Joestar family, the first name of the next season's protag always starts with Jo, hence the name JoJo in the anime title. For example, season 1 has Jonathan Joestar. (I'm simplifying stuff here btw) He's the old man in season 3 with the hat. So stuff carries on through seasons. The villain (the blonde one) is immortal, that's why he looks young each time he comes up. Hope I didn't explain it wrong, I'm just a casual JoJo fan.

Here's a little synopsis of JoJo: The series follows various descendants of the Joestar family and their action filled lives. In parts 1 and 2, the main focus is Vampires vs Hamon, a martial art that involves breathing techniques to use life energy for attacking as an opposite to the Vampires dead energies. From part 3 onwards, you see Stands, a manifestation of your fighting spirit that can be hereditary, or by getting hit with a Stand Arrow (and surviving). Stands have all kinds of forms and strange effects, and they are named after Tarot Cards first (Like Star Platinum or The World), then Egyptian gods (Like Anubis), then band references (Crazy Diamond, Gold Experience, Stone Free). The anime has covered up to part 5 completely, and Netflix is currently dealing (poorly) with the release of part 6, having released a batch of 12 episodes in December and recently confirming the next batch of 12 for Fall season. The manga however just finished part 8 last year and is confirmed to have part 9 starting sometime this year.

And I have an unpopular opinion, one that I've been reminded of frequently by my friends, that part 4 is my least favourite. JOJO's is absolutely a masterpiece and not many people dislike it after watching it. well.... Not many people who disliked it after trying to watch it have lived to tell the tale. so that statistic might be a bit off. but seriously though, if you watch it, i hope you can truly enjoy it!

For information : jojo change the detail of the song whenever the story reach boss arc and the game changing power of enemy/mc got revealed. and that's why u see in 19:35 the opening got reversed from the one before

[@IPrintz815]

Those "ghosts" are called stands. They are your fighting spirit and all have different abilities. Only those with stands can see stands. Also most characters and stands are music references, and due to copyright and stuff the translation of names become silly. Like limp biscuit stand name becoming flaccid pancake.

[@phyzzie]

when the openings are repeated but have a slight difference in them, the anime actually makes it so that the second time it's the main antagonist messing with the opening, which i find pretty cool

[@manupm9161]

If you're interested in the lyrics, you should check out the channel "jojo's music" it has the full version of all the openings with Japanese and English subtitles.

[@noditianniz-emir7075]

"It's like Pokemon, but traped inside of you and you unleash them yourself". That's the best interpretation of someone who hasn't seen Jojo that I've ever heard.

[@martorao1550]

I'm glad more people are opening up to more aspects of anime. Love it. Also hi new subscriber, I would very much like a red bull, thank you.

[@thirdeyehorusinfantry1096]

I love your opening song for this video that was some slick cadence and flow brother!

[@kyro7482]

Man, you would LOVE watching this anime, just watch through all the parts, don't skip stuff. I have seen the first three parts, and those openings still give me the goosebumps, they mean a lot more when you have the context, and in the case of this Bizzare Adventure, you are never going to have context unless you actually watch this yourself. Oh, and yes, please watch the subs, the original voices give a unique feel by themselves. This goes usually for all anime in general, but for JoJo, I can't think of an English dub ever being able to parallel the original feel.

[@devintheundertalefan5611]

Well (from what i have seen of the dub, which is just clips because its really hard to find said dub) its actually quite good, the actors try to portray the og japenese ones to a T

[@kyro7482]

@@devintheundertalefan5611 oh is that so? I remember the clip of the Jotaro vs Dio fight, and that did not feel as good, so that's why I was saying so, but to each their own. I just prefer the Japanese voices

[@devintheundertalefan5611]

this dude is smart as hell when it comes to getting the shows themes from the changes in the music, he got so much spot on

[@WillSee_]

While there are no subtitles on the videos... in your own time or as a video, Jonathan Young has some wonderful English covers that roughly translates everything. If there’s anything he can do, it’s make a banger cover.

[@weirdokate8840]

woow you were spot on in most of your guesses about whats happening, the second half of the season is usually were things get more intense and dark so the opening adjust - there is also time fuckery in part 3 onwards, the pendulum swing prediction was perfect! JoJos is one of those anime where they have a lot of freedom with their openings - every episode it grows on you more and more till you know em all by heart without knowing any japanese

[@lh2293]

Hi Knox 🙋 I would really like to recommend you to watch the 'Soul Eater' openings and endings! They are great 😊

[@iziizii]

I'm subscribed on my other 2 accounts and as soon as I switch to this one I find out you did a reaction to Jojo 2 weeks later. Guess this is going to be number 3 now

[@meli-melies6557]

In part 3, op 3 and 4, the characters have to go somewhere to save a life, so yeah, time is important in this part

[@legoboy767675]

You mentioned wanting to see this live, there is a video of a live version of most of the openings which is pretty good. I think it came out on an anniversary of the show

[@lukagamer4898]

the 12th opening actually has 2 more versions and that channel didnt fucking include it

[@byrontheusurper6505]

that elevator moment in part 5 still gives me chills. I wasn't as much of a fan of part 5 as I thought I'd be but MAN did that part have some incredible moments!

[@Silver5kull]

There's a KZbinr who did pretty good English covers of these openings. He's called Jonathan Young. check those out if you want

[@Ryans_tryin]

Knox man I have been a huge fan for so long and the second I saw you starting to do anime openings I KNEW that I had to recommend you do the One Piece openings. Now I will tell you that there are ALOT of them, 24 in total, but I promise you it has some of the best openings in anime history. I found a link for you that is the most up to date, and it had the subs on them as well, I hope you check it out!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJi9ZIptgNSjmpo

This is the first I heard a description of stand as Pokemons but trapped inside of you and man it is very interesting one

[@unexpectedbonk4049]

The first, second and 6th parts are on Netflix. The others are on crunchyroll. Since you've mentioned you prefer manga you should totally watch the series then continue with the part 7 and 8 manga run. Part 7 is probably the best composed and written of all the parts and part 8 is just a shitfest of bizarrness

[@emilygillock3803]

Actually, all the parts are on Netflix. And in several languages besides English and Japanese to boot.
