@@valentds We are of differing tastes then, but that's not a bad thing I actually prefer Part 1 slightly more than Part 4, because 4 focuses too much on the high school setting and worse yet, no one grows into adults by the end of it. Unfortunately, Part 8 not only suffers more or less from the same problem, but it also references Part 4 too heavily as an AU, contrasted to Part 7 where at the very least it tried not only to introduce new settings, but was also interesting with many of its new concepts that it introduced to the series Part 6 has had AMAZING animation in several episodes now, and it has unique aspects that set it apart from the others I'm just gonna go ahead put my tier list here: Part 6 >= Part 5 = Part 7 > Part 2 = Part 3 > Part 1 > Part 8 >= Part 4

Honestly i've watched this sequence numerous times before, and as an artist, my respect for the people who worked on this is truly high. I'm constantly floored not only how they somehow managed to make an anime with as much attention to detail and precision as the manga. They also some how got it to move seamlessly. And then there's the amazing cuts and shots they make, the great tie-ins from the music department in conjunction with the anime. Fantastic sound design, phenomenal voice acting. The tension, the stakes, JoJo I swear to god is the only show I always feel like the protagonists actually could very well effing die at any moment. Like yeah, they'll live. But jesus christ, I don't know how to describe it. Any other anime you just kind of role your eyes and you're like "yeah they'll get back up and whoop their ass or get away" And i'm consciously aware of that in JoJo. But jesus christ, the protagonists take DAMAGE in this show, and many times it's more than half a damn miracle they manage to live. You truly do feel like it's genuine luck or unrivaled wits they're even still alive. But that's off the point. Truly, the team behind this show absolutely blows my mind. They're just running on treadmills for frucks sake. But the way they managed to constantly induce new pressure by giving new perspectives and reiterating some cuts and effects in new ways is just. Awesome, truly awesome. I keep coming back to this part of the story, it's just utterly captivating to me. Good job JoJo team, the work you guys put into this show is truly a fantastic representation of a beloved series thats been endlessly giving quality content to its fans for decades. And what you do almost I swear to you feels like a love letter to a manga series you truly adore. Thanks for all you do jojo team, this stuff is fantastic.

Thats what makes these OVAs great. They’re runtime is as long as the weekly episode, but they have a lot more time to work on it which is why they’re so well detailed and animated. Also why the old Part 3 OVAs have such smooth animation

[@m.greenfield6328]

I think one thing you can praise JJBA highly on is tension. Araki is great at building up these threats and finding clever ways for the protagonists to dismantle them, but there's something critical to that formula. In a lot of shows, the stakes don't feel very high, no matter how well they build up their antagonists. We can rest assured that the main cast will probably be fine in the end, and anything other than that is an outlier, usually built up to and foreshadowed heavily until finally seeing the payoff of the beloved secondary character's death, and the survivors need to use those feelings as fuel to carry on and-- yeah, JJBA doesn't do that. Because of how JJBA is structured, in parts with new casts, Araki can afford to kill off these characters, sometimes. And, sure, there's buildup, sometimes. But death in JJBA is a lot like death in real life. It can be senseless, without warning, without any deeper meaning. We look to fiction and so many deaths try to derive meaning from death, because sometimes, that's what we as humans crave. To be able to make sense of death, of loss, of grief. Because of the rotating core cast, and because it's not afraid to kill its core cast members for each part, the stakes in every fight /feel/ real. You can feel every attack the heroes take and wonder, quietly, if they'll make it out of this one alright. Because you've been shown that, yes, there's a chance they won't be OK. That the characters aren't just playing pretend, they're in /actual/ danger. And this peril makes the characters feel just that little bit more special, the connection you make with them that much more impactful, I think.

[@m.greenfield6328]

even if we know Rohan can't die in these, it still carries over. Anyone but Rohan can die, sure. But that lingering feeling still remains. That tension from the main series can still very much be felt.

My takeaway is that Yoma is built like an Adonis, obsessively spends every second of his day on optimizing his workout, and is literally possessed by a Greek God. And it was STILL a photo finish against Rohan. Rohan even matched him rep for rep on the bench. What juice is Rohan on???

When Rohan used his stand, Yoma noticed that. That means Yoma already became standuser by physical trainings only. Araki wrote that even Hamonusers can reach stands, but in very rare cases after hard work. Interesting what is the ability of Yoma's stand

[@AlanKaroff]

muscles. He raise up the muscle endurance as I understood

It wasn't a stand, he was a greek god. This could mean gods can see stands, so maybe Kars could too.

“We must not hold grudges against each other after this” Oh yeah that’s rich coming from the guy specifically calling this a “revenge Match”

[@lastnamefirstname6408]

Well, yeah. It's a revenge match, to settle a grudge which he has been holding. After a match he considers fair, he intends for said grudge to be resolved, win or lose. That's the idea behind a proper duel. If you win, you've proven yourself the better man. If you lose, you were bested on even ground and have to accept that you are the lesser and have therefore not been wronged at all. Trial by combat. That's the idea, on paper. In practice, not so much. Especially against any of the notoriously petty Greek gods.

About the discussion if Hermes is a stand or not: We can speculate that god=stand. Not because of the egyptian gods in part 3, since in part 3 the stands had their names named by tarot, and because of that most people can say that those are just stands with gods names, and not really gods. But in this scene Yoma notice that Heaven's door used his power against him, so we could say that Yoma posses stand powers because of Hermes, and subjectively say that Hermes can be considered a stand originated by the real greek god
