THIS SHOW IS SOO GOOD! | JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 4 Episode 29 Reaction

[@WillGlacier]

I love the fact that Act 3 just has a mind of itself and says the most absurd shit that Koichi would never say himself. Literally his intrusive thoughts manifested

[@Elipson52008]

Koichi is such a baller that he can direct his intrusive thoughts into productive use.

[@ionavram4002]

@@Elipson52008 koichis intrusive thoughts have so much weight they create a gravitational field

Fun bit: That whole "I'll heal you first so I can beat you up harder" bit is Josuke's super in All Star Battle. It briefly puts the opponent to full health before dropping them waaaaay back down.

josuke : you only have one mistake... you pissed me of

[@AidanS99]

6:40 That’s correct. This chapter was inspired by Speed. This arc originally was published in 1995. And Speed did very well in Japan. But funnily enough, Speed was based off of a Japanese film concept by the legendary film maker Kurosawa. The concept was essentially that a train was speeding out of control and people mistakenly believed that this was due to a bomb on the train.

[@wdkaye]

yeah, pretty much! Looks like Speed was released in June '94, and the first chapter of this "Highway Star" arc was October of the same year

[@PrixtoTNT]

The chapter was published in 1994 actually ☝🤓

[@thomaswellerton3783]

June 10, 1994 (United States) Speed October 17, 1994 Jojo's It is very possible the arc was inspired by the movie BUT, I couldn't find info on when it came out in Japan, I doubt Araki was in the US to watch the movie then went back to Japan to write the arc. It's more probable he was inspired by the Japanese movie "The Bullet Train" from 1975 wich in fact "Speed" took basically it's entire main premisse from

[@PrixtoTNT]

@@thomaswellerton3783 It came out in December 3 in Japan, however an inspiration *is* possible, just pretty less likely

[@AidanS99]

@@PrixtoTNT Damn, Wikipedia said ‘95. Guess I’ll die now.

[@tennoyamamoto1800]

Fun fact, In both JoJo's Bizarre Adventure "Eyes of Heaven" and "All-Star Battle (OG and Remake)" games Josuke's special attack is based on him Healing his opponent before beating them up like what he did with Yuya in this episode, the thing is, There's a Paraplegic character in the game and thanks to the way the game works this character also gets up on his two feet after getting healed during the animation so it looks like Josuke un-criples and re-criples the poor dude during the attack, it's been 3 games and they never "fixed" this by giving him a custom animation

[@chazalam6452]

Hey if he heals them first, it's totally fair.

[@zacglover3345]

Can't have s-h-i-t in Morioh

[@Green-3c34y65vrbu]

i love Automatic Stands like this and Sheer Heart Attack, as they forsake the range for power rule by being Automatic, meaning that the user can only give them basic commands to follow.

[@sackman1472]

I think the "feet smell" joke is what Araki was going for with Highway Star.

[@wessltov]

"How do your feet smell?" Yuya: "Over 60 km/h, relentlessly. They suck too"

[@d-w-b-c]

"smelling toes"

[@Drip_Wooper]

in -russia- Morioh, you dont smell toes, the toes smells you and also chase you at fckng 60 km/h

[@noirangel6416]

*Kenshiro:* You are already dead. *Josuke:* You are already healed.

[@mjm3091]

7:00 Properly checked the dates - this chapter and the villain came out before the Speed movie was released in Japan. Araki was more likely inspired by Japanese movie Bullet Train from 1975. Which very likely also inspired Speed.

[@m.flamingo9063]

5:19 I love how Josuke conveniently forgot about his power that he has been using for years and years just so he can ruin that one guys day 😂

[@TimothyGod]

Forgot? He was going 60kmh. And he got the second phone within seconds, there isn't a need to fix it. He did froget

[@Voidio2454]

It's a joke scene.

[@mystrenula3911]

He got the new phone faster than he could react to the phone being broken and fix it

[@marshmellow0madness]

Well you see. Josuke can only heal one thing at a time, so he chose to fix that relationship rather than the phone. I'd say he made the correct choice.

[@georgerobins4110]

That vibes like the chapter was one page short and Araki had to add some filler lmfaoooo

[@classyrobot5648]

Wait just a damn second. I just realized Josuke is Holly's brother

[@ExaltedUriel]

Yup, half-brother. Somehow a weirder realization to make than him being Jotaro's uncle huh, lol.

[@Rexaura888]

Josuke picked up one of his nephew’s habits when he was yelling at Yuya’s fan club. Also the dub version of the beat down is so good.

[@thelegendarypootisman3]

At the start of the episode, in the sub Josuke says "But finding the user... how the hell am I going to do that?" In the english dub however, Josuke says "Problem is, I have no clue how to find the user... The foot fetish dick could be anywhere!" The english dub wins this time that was hilarious

[@kennnnny]

I watched the English Dub while rewatching Part 4 some months back and it was absolutely hilarious, I can commend this I think in the dub Josuke and Okuyasu feel a lot more like teenagers- not that they felt like adults before, but the localization just adds a lot of flair that works in their advantage

[@emblemblade9245]

I love watching the Jojo dubs, they have the characters say such funny things sometimes which gives them even more personality than they already have. Plus the voices are generally quite excellent. And in part 6 the characters get to swear like absolute sailors!

[@xenoemblem7]

Alicia: "More than meets the eye, like a Transformer" Josuke a few minutes later: Have the bike transform and roll out

[@zalla00]

Alicia's model's facial expressions during the 'period' scene was fucking hilarious XD

[@mazy1499]

19:53 this is one of the most crucial moments of Jojo's history. Koichi comes in clutch with telling Josuke that Room 525 is on Fifth floor Araki Outdid himself here .

[@TimothyGod]

Well josuke didn't even know the room number. But I get yea 525 is on 5th floor. But it was all new info to Josuke

[@Roach_Dogg_JR]

Am I missing something? Seems normal to me

[@Prince_Xingqiu]

28:43 Josuke's best line

[@CloverPegs]

MUSIC REFERENCES IN THIS EPISODE: -Yuya Fungami's tie has the words "HIGHWAY" and "SPEED KING." "HIGHWAY" is likely in reference to his Stand, Highway Star, taking its' name from the Deep Purple song of the same name. The "SPEED KING" portion is in reference to another Deep Purple song, Speed King. fun fact: the english dub voice of Yuya Fungami eventually went on to voice the protagonist of Part 5! as to why Josuke didn't put the phone back together? i don't know. maybe the stress of the moment made him forget, maybe he just wanted to grab some other guy's phone.

[@mordraug6662]

I think Josuke did not fix the phone because Araki wanted to get that comedic thing with him taking another phone again, it might be some very minute reference to something I guess.

[@zLeSshuhn]

oh yeah Speed king

[@fullmetalpotato1258]

I think part 2 might have had Zero dog deaths. Only dog I remember even seeing in part 2 was the one Kars saved.

Ok, just to make it clear, Josuke can't just hit something and make it into anything he wants, he can't just break a bike and make a flying machine out of nowhere ant hahah

[@TimothyGod]

He can modify pretty well tho.

[@TimothyGod]

​@@strongHORNET112 I'm sure he could rearrange a bike into another machine, as long as he understand the parts, and it isn't any more or less than what the original is. He could make a different looking bike, but it would be limited to the parts there. Much like the cabinets when he was dealing with angelo

@@strongHORNET112he has changed stuff though (like removing letters from paper or messing up jotaros hat)

@@strongHORNET112 SPOILERS BELOW he can also break glass and reform it into to a heart shape (with a drop of blood in the middle), and break walls and reform them in a different place. He can even fuse Angelo into a rock. Josuke has a great deal of flexibility in his power. It seems he can create anything as long as he can envision it. He basically has control over matter, as well as being able to revert its state.

Part of the thing I love about the stuff Act 3 says is that it kinda implies that that's how Koichi really feels on the inside.

[@PrixtoTNT]

"Y-you wouldn't beat up an injured enemy right?! T-that would be cowardly and unmanly!" Josuke: You're right. That's why I already healed you so I can beat you up! Jotaro: Lol yes I would and I will

the events of the Highway Star fight, and basically all of parts 4 and 8, are made really funny when you keep in mind that Morioh takes about an hour to walk all the way across from edge to edge. it is not a large town

I love the idea headcanon that Yuya Fungami's ancestor is Tengen Uzui from Demon Slayer. No matter what time period, he always has three girls attached to his hip. And they're not trying to climb the biker gang totem pole, they're just trying to climb his totem pole. And why are you surprised Koichi's alive, we not only saw him get healed and chase after Kira's hand while telling the group his name and address, but we also saw Koichi investigating Kira's house with Okuyasu in the episode after.

[@zorialcallav741]

There's actually a theory about Hayato, that he was watching his dad with cameras because he was secretly being abused and was trying to collect video evidence

[@TimothyGod]

I can't get behind that. Husband was boring and dull, I highly doubt he would be abusive. Even the wife was like "come on, get mad. Nah you'll just sit in silence." The expectation is that he has no special characteristic

[@Celestia282]

No shot. Hayato displays zero aversion towards his dad until Kira comes along and starts acting creepy. He's just a weird kid who set up a spy camera in his parents' bedroom.

[@Emmariscobar]

I much prefer the theory that he noticed how badly his parents' relationship was clearly going (despite how much they tried to hide it) so he started spying on them in hopes of finding clear proof that they actually love eachother or clear proof that they should break up, so as to not remain in this stalemate for the rest of their lives. It would explain why the first thing he noticed was off was the fact that his parents seemed to _actually be into eachother_ all of a sudden.

So Speed's just a chase movie except they replaced the monster with a theoretical explosion? If someone's willing to collect your pee, you don't promote 'em. Then, you'd have no pee collector. 26:25 Oh no, Josuke's doing the Kira pre-kill life story.

[@greenly2092]

3:55 this the most psychotic shit ive ever heard and why i love yall for it

[@D_YellowMadness]

Watching Crazy Diamond close the elevator without using his special ability makes me wonder something: Could he punch an object once & then just repeatedly shift segments of the object away from each other & back into each other to move the whole object wherever he wants it to go? If so, could he make an enemy just leave, kinda like that guy in Fist of the Northstar who hits a pressure point that makes you walk away forever? How fast could he do it?

[@corrinflakes9659]

This fight makes some of the most creative uses with Crazy Diamond.

[@PrixtoTNT]

10:48 If you wanna love that for him even more, here's a fun fact (sorry if someone already said it, haven't checked). In the final story that ended up being published, Kira's father just helps Kira cause he's his son. However, originally Kira was supossed to have been abused by his mother, his father made blind eye to it, and helps Kira now because he feels guilty about it. This story was never told because Araki was afraid readers would sympathize too much with the main villain, but it's not considered non canon just because it's not shown, since nothing in the final story contradicts it

[@illidanST7F]

Honestly i think Josuke saved the dude from his toxic gf, he was panicking coz she was giving him an ultimatum over the phone, sure the dude's idea was dumb as well but she was the one trying to end things over the phone.

[@BWingCommander]

This episode, particularly the chase through town, is what made Crazy Diamond my all time favorite Stand. Also a big fan of Highway Star, really cool concept and design.

Josuke: Oh no! the phone broke! I need a new one. Crazy Diamond: Am I a joke to you?

[@javiervejar8889]

Araki watched plenty of American horror movies and used them as inspiration. Apparently Dio's phrase "wryyy" comes from sounds that Araki heard in certain horror flicks (not sure which one specifically)

[@Agent-kt9vq]

4:08 I'm gonna be real with you and not a nerd or something, but that ain't fair since Koichi needed healing after he hit the door during the doppelganger episode, meaning that if Josuke's Crazy Diamond hit the baby there, the impact on where the baby lands or hits still can cause injuries. He only healed his mom immediately since she was in contact with Crazy Diamond
