The issue with part 3 wasn't how long it was, it was just its dumb format. Every episode doesn't feel like it had weight on the story, it was just a stand battle and then "ok we kept traveling off camera." If we actually saw them make progress on camera I woulda like part 3 SO much better. I also hated the convenient "Oh, no more plain travel, and then Oh, boat was a stand no more boat travel" And on top of that why was there so many 2/3/4 parters, like dude not every villain needs to be stretched over several episodes.

[@jlb7989]

[@descendantofartorias2067]

Part 3 had me invested the entire time because of the road trip with da Bois vibe and because I was extremely invested in Jotaro and Polnareffs character arcs. The only episodes I didn't like were the Sun and Alessi episodes and even then the camel joke almost makes up for the sun to me and the Alessi episodes had a great joke ending as well with Kid Jotaro stomping him. Most of the episodes in part 3 had some standout character moment or chemistry. I honestly don't get the problem with part 3 sure a lot of the minor villains suck but the same thing can be said about part 4, 6, and some part 7 villains.

I understand seeing Giorno as boring compared to the other characters, but I feel like Giorno was just a bit different than the other MCs in JJBA.

@jacobbarker4180 Facts, he’s intentional already at the end of his development in contrast to every other JoJo who has to go through some form of self understanding in their respective story arcs.

[@cryptic_honcho1610]

Part 1 is honestly really great. Doesn’t overstay its welcome, has an extremely likeable main trio in Jonathan, Zeppeli and Speedwagon, an awesome antagonist in Dio, a really distinct atmosphere in comparison to other parts and a really sad yet satisfying ending. I get why it’s not as popular as the other parts, but the groundwork it laid out is undeniable and its presentation really resinated with me. It’s a strong introduction and did a great job at hooking me into JoJo’s. Jonathan is my favourite JoJo personally, and I think he proves that your protagonist doesn’t have to be super complex in their motives or morals to be endearing. He’s just a true gentleman.

[@singami465]

First time I watched Part 4 I thought it was somewhat mid. Then I rewatched it and it's definitely the most memorable and it's obvious why it's Araki's favorite part. It's different than the parts before it for sure, but it's also the most grounded, has an extremely strong cast and perfectly weaves the detective storyline with comedic aspects.

[@gabrielg3866]

I agree it's still not my favorite part (part 6 holds that spot) but everytime I rewatch/reread it I find myself appreciating it more and more.

[@arcynull]

Honestly part 4 just seems like my comfort part at this point. It's like a little break from all the parts where a jobro dies every 3 episodes, but it's still got that action and jojo charm that makes the series the way it is. I hope I'm making sense, but yeah, just my thoughts.

[@theradionicrevival8068]

An aspect of jojo I’m beginning to not like (but make me appreciate part 3 and more importantly 4 more now) is how it always tends to immediately escalate the stakes so far beyond relatability to the point where it goads us to care about characters we barely knew yet right before they die. I still believe part 3’s adaption could’ve been a bit shorter, I can’t deny that its length sorta played into its advantage by actually having mostly the same cast for the entire part. Like to the point where we get to see them in enough serious AND lighthearted scenarios for us to feel like we went on a genuine journey together. Which is crazy to me considering how half the crusaders weren’t even developed or written that well to begin with. But part 3 already served as a soft reboot to the franchise anyways so it always feels like it exists in its own little pocket world. So the simple yet zany characters fit in pretty decently due to how simple and zany the entire goal and villains tend to be. I feel like part 4 parried off of that concept beautifully by having all of morioh play into the shock at the reveal that kira lurking around in it. We spent so much time getting to know the town and its people BEFORE kira (when he was technically already there) it makes the reveal hit harder and genuinely raise the stakes and put into perspective how dangerous he actually is and what could happen if he loses. Ntm how morioh as a town served as pretty great surrogate to have the monster of the week formula compared to other parts to me. I’m an anime only and have been watching SO week to week (aka i’m still not done with part 2 of part 6) but I genuinely am becoming more dissapointed by how it seems araki may never return to structuring parts like that again.

[@gabrielg3866]

@@theradionicrevival8068 I don't really know what you mean specifically by raise the stakes past relatability? What does raising the stakes have to do with how relatable a part is? Imo part 4 had low stakes but was relatable and part 3, 6, and 7 had high stakes and was relatable. But part 5 is the only part imo that had high stakes with an unrelatable climax (not to knock part 5 I still like it) but more importantly part 8 has low stakes but isn't very relatable in its climax. I just don't really think stakes has anything to do with how relatable the climax of a part is.

[@conspiracypanda1200]

Personally, the reason I like Part 4 is because it's mostly just a bunch of dumbasses hanging out and being dramatic. The (mostly) relaxed environment means I feel the characters didn't have to be serious all the time so I got a better grasp of them faster and they didn't feel flat, but when they did get serious it was always pretty cool, which was a great relief after Part 3. I mean, it's not exactly Nichijou but it sure isn't your average battle manga. When Kira comes in it really does feel like a different show/manga though, which is more in line with what most fans were probably expecting at that point. I personally loathe Kira (in a good way) so I enjoy both the Slice of Life and Killer arcs. They kinda mix like oil and water though.

[@tutucatm2267]

The genious of part 4 is how everything clicks the moment Kira is introduced. He's not only a meanie bad guy, he's a literal serial homicidal maniac going around in a town you have learned to like little by little. It makes it so satisfying when he's finally put down.

Like arguably my favorite episode of the entire series is “Let’s go eat some italian food” because it’s a comedic red herring episode with no actual battle, just Josuke getting tricked into thinking there’s gonna be one by another dude’s strange behavior.

The reason the start of Part 4 and it's slice of life format are important is that it sets the stakes for the rest of the part.

If Kira wins, all these people who we've met will die. As opposed to Dio taking over the world in part 3, we know that's bad, but other than the main cast we don't know or care about the people.

[@bruhmoment3478]

Not really all people. Just some. It was amazing because the threat wasn't really high. It was just a serial killer that killed some women around town. He wouldn't kill everyone in it. They went after him because they wanted revenge and because he was a stand user, not because they knew he existed (remember when they learned about him and decided to do nothing until Shigechi died?) That's why this part was cool. If they weren't there nothing would've really happened so this was just a fun little adventure with low stakes.

@@bruhmoment3478 the reason they didn’t do anything when they first learned about him is because they thought he was a run of the mill serial killer. Kira is much more of a threat to the town simply BECAUSE he is a stand user. The whole reason they go after him isnt just because he killed shigechi, but considering that shigechi’s stand was basically invincible in stand combat, that meant the person who killed him had a really strong ability themself. The entire reason they stopped ignoring him is because through shigechi’s death they learned he was a massive threat. (Joseph even talks to jotaro about how there’s a murderous stand user on the loose) Also, saying kira isn’t a threat to morioh is like saying Jeffrey dahmer with super powers wouldn’t be a threat to whatever town he lived in. Of fucking course he would be, killing any part of the town is still threatening the town.

Doesn't have the most OP ability (Specifically whitesnake) And honestly has protagonist levels of big brain. I also think it has the most natural formula of the whole "Stand of the week" thing.

Then backstabbing you to try and get you killed by the guards. And in terms of location, Atleast we are always exploring other parts of the prison, moving all around it and such.

Trish was given only one strong moment (understandably since she's quite a late addition but she was their objective the whole first half of the series so it felt like a let down.) Abacchio was also only given one strong moment with the insane fight before his pending demise. And the most disappointing decision Araki has done imo, removing Fugo from the squad despite being one of the most interesting character. Bucciarati and Mista, especially Mista, kept being the only characters that I see fight multiple times from start to end unlike the others that remain unconcious or incapacitated for certain circumstances.

[@iantaakalla8180]

Part 4 stands also punch above their weight impressively often. Crazy Diamonds can almost do any attack so long as “restoration” is an action that can be done, and Josuke is smart enough to do stuff Crazy Diamond cannot just do with punching and restoration. Echoes Act 2 basically can just be the ultimate trap stand, laying dangers just by touching a thing. Even given The Hand is Okuyasu’s, he gets very far with it. Surface takes control of any stand user. The Lock enforces politeness and is an unconventional lie detector. Cinderella basically changes fate. Enigma means you can capture anything and any person if they are inside a thing. Atom Heart Father and Superfly are some of the best containment stands. Heaven’s Door is low-grade reality warping. Highway Star is the ultimate tracker. Red Hot Chili Peppers can scale up to the heaviest hitting stands provided a city’s worth of power. Harvest is basically a game of Pikmin. Stray Cat can instinctively kill anybody. And while all of Killer Queen’s forms including it with Stray Cat are not overtly powerful, had Kira been more careful it probably would have. Honestly, almost all of the Part 4 stands are very impressive despite not working complexly or on fundamental forces of the universe.

I love slice of life, and Kira is my favorite villain hands down. Plus Josuke is my favorite Jojo. But I can totally see why some people don’t vibe with it.

ABSOLUTE W opinion on part 1. Massively underrated and amazing part

Part 4 is my favorite😭, also Jotaro is so drip and badass😭

[@eliasst2544]

I love Phantom Blood and Jonathan is my favorite JoJo. I understand it's not as creative as the others, but the story is epic and brief.

[@rainwobrain]

i cant believe it, how could you not like part 4, its literaly the best part

[@DDrag0n_]

Regarding part 1 not trying to do anything unique and “having all the classic shonen tropes”, those actually only date after part 1, *it did them first*

[@tealjam]

Despite part 4 being my favorite part, I can agree that the episodes before Kira's introduction are pretty boring for a first watch. When I started watching part 4 I just went through these episodes to know what was happening and get to the interesting stuff, but everytime I rewatch it I love it even more. It's just interesting to see how the slice-of-life genre manages to create fights that feel like JoJo, and how some of the fights are just silly, like Shigechi fighting Josuke and Okuyasu for the lottery ticket instead of just dividing the money between them. The first half of part 4 makes you feel like everything's safe and fun, but Kira's introduction completely breaks the atmosphere. All in all, I think part 4 is really great, but it does have its flaws

Critical likes part 6 so he automatically have good taste

Well I like part 8 but most people disagree on that 😟

@@docilelikewintercatfish well here’s the thing with part 8. The first half is some peak Jojo. The second half is a letdown.

part 6's ending make or break the part - he needs to watch the ending first to rate it properly everything else in part 6 is alright and equal to other jojo parts

[@willkeinnamen5829]

Eventhough part 4 is my fav part, I can respect, Charlie's opinion though, I remember being a little bit dissapointed about the different art style at the beginning, but it really hooked me tho, when you thought it's gonna be happy and fun, and then the teaser at the beginning with the cutted off hand. I didn't like the Yasuho arc and few arcs were pretty wack, but after the introduction of Kira it got uphill.

The thing about Giorno is that he's more of an introvert while most other JoJo's are fairly extroverted. That's why Giorno is such a good character in part 5 because he's such a good right hand man to Bucciarati because he kind of leads behind the scenes without being extremely flashy.

Man I never thought I'd see this crossover of Trash Taste and Charlie. KZbin has peaked. Solid takes too. For me it goes 2>4>1>6>3>5. I like and 2, 4, and 1 are the most unpredictable to watch. 1 set the foundations for hamon which was necessary in order for the rest of the series (or just part 2 since 3 onwards scrapped hamon) to test the limits of hamon. Even if Jonathan is rather vanilla, he is a solid hero protagonist to set up the standard good vs evil trope. Joseph takes the series above and beyond because he is such a huge contrast to Jonathan. I absolutely LOVE how part 1 and 2 are not formulaic and the conflicts are unpredictable. Every chapter is a page turner. Part 3 is great for the human connection of the main characters and we as the reader/watcher immerse ourselves in their story and become attached to them. It is pretty good, but definitely disappointed me as it developed the shounen formula where there's always the good guy vs bad guy and it is so predictable to know who will win the fight. Sure, it can be argued that it is unpredictable about HOW the fight will end, but I don't enjoy that as much as knowing who will win. I disagree with Charlie on part 4. I also hate slice of life, but for part 4 it was necessary to develop the characters and have the audience become attached to them. My only issue with it is that no one but Shigechi and Cinderella stand user died. And Reimi officially I guess. But yeah it felt a little too clean, but it was still a very well directed part. Part 5 is a massive disappointment for me and I fucking despise it. It started off SO STRONG playing with the idea that Giorno wants to do GOOD by ending drug scandals in Italy, but to do so he has to infiltrate the mafia. This could have brought a lot of psychological and moral conflict for Giorno who should have taken part in crimes in order to achieve his dream of becoming the boss and ending the crimes. Instead, it fucking was another formulaic pile of trash where it was always good guy vs bad guy. We team up with Bucciarati? Gang not in Bucciarati we fight. Now we fight the Boss' gang. Like ???? That is so BORING! And I HATE what they did with Fugo. They set him up to betray Giorno but instead he's just scrapped and adds another hole to part 5. Part 6 is such an improvement from Parts 3 and 5 in my opinion. It feels much less formulaic because there is more drama and storytelling meshed in with the fights, and the fights are not predictable on who will win. My only issue is that injuries are no longer serious because Foo Fighters can heal everything. But I still really like the set up for the plot and the internal and external conflicts presented for Jolyne and the rest of the cast.

Part 3 was my favourite loved every part tho
