I think the reason why Araki doesn't like bringing in old characters for new roles is because there's objectively more potential in an entirely new character. It also allows more creative freedom in general, which is something i think a lot of creative people would prefer having.

[@khulekanimagubane9153]

I agree. And even though I love Jotaro Kujo, even his returns in DIU, early GW and SO felt a bit like publisher concessions. Araki strikes me as someone who always wants to do something new rather than be held captive by even his past successes.

[@corrinflakes9659]

Yeah, I can agree too. Sometimes you explored as much of a character as you wished to do, plus in cases these retread an old character’s archetype in a new character, it might be to improve upon the shortcomings. Hot take, while Ermes Costello was very similar to Jean-Pierre Polnareff, she’s a refined version.

3:08 I personally feel like even Part 3 Did can be completely excluded from that list. While surely he does only appear very very lately in the part, we still know him and his character fairly well from Part 1. And he technically didn't change that drastically between the parts to an extent where Dio Brando and DIO are two entirely separate entities. With Diavolo I do agree tho, probably the most underwhelming villain in the entire franchise, which mainly comes from the fact that we see him like three episodes in total

3:37- that's what I agree with as well- DIO has all the prep time in the entire part- yet still gets flabbergasted and outwitted with his defeat despite the thrilling fight being very undignified. Perhaps DIO shows up in the mid-part of the story, but has to leave- with the remaining story getting payback. As for Diavolo- instead of Rolling Stones, do a sudden Araki ex Machina where he somehow gets the Arrow, leading to a proper final battle, maybe Mista is killed because Diavolo shenanigans involving the number 4 and the story wrapping up with a much more epic conclusion. Maybe even getting clarity of what Diavolo actually is by proxy. And as for Tooru, maybe having him a recurring sitcom antagonist "unintentionally" to Gappy by being a flirt to Yasuho yet helpful to the heroes while gradually giving hints of his true nature, which makes the revelation hit all the harder when it turns out how evil he is- making the conflict that more personal. Or go with Jobin who already has a villain arc gradually leading to antagonism.

[@corrinflakes9659]

I thought about the idea of a Steel Ball Run game that progresses like Supergiant’s Pyre, where failing a leg doesn’t mean a game over, in this case only death does. And the player character can input a personality test to determine a Stand also 7th Stand User, but getting to encounter a corpse part isn’t guaranteed. You can learn the Spin to make up for awaiting finding a Stand as a reliable basis. And the player can get involved in canon encounters if the date and location line up, but the whereabouts aren’t explicitly told, only the stage checkpoints are pinned on the map. Also, yes, beating Diego and the other racers is possible, but should be a big challenge to plan over the course of a game. The game can have a survival/sports tag, might be the most unique tag an anime game could have.

[@zachcoats4849]

Pucci was the best with building up and re-occurring. I think Diavolo was handled pretty well, actually in that regard. He didn't show up for half of it, but there was actually a reason since so much mystery was built around him with the group working for him. Plus, I love how he fights a "minor villain." I love it when two people outside of our main characters fight.

[@STEPHxCA]

Purple Haze Feedback would be a fuego movie

[@KyoryuDiabolos]

Even though it wasn’t written by Araki himself it should get an animated adaptation. Fugo gets his redemption arc and it introduces new characters and references old ones. It focuses on the narcotics team that was responsible for spreading drugs across Italy and the reason Giorno joined Passione to put an end to.

[@STPstudio47]

What I hate about jjba is that every episode has to be a fight. I just wish we had a few episodes with characters just talking, travelling etc. The best example of this was the sun episode from stardust crusaders. At first I thought we were just seeing how the heat and desert affects our characters, and that the "enemy" is the environment itself. Seeing that the sun was a stand and that guys were laughing just because of the two rocks was really disappointing.

[@woomyboy98]

6:00 I get why he wouldn't want to keep bring back more followers of Dio for example or a ton of old stands and their users. It doesn't really allow for the interesting stand battle and introduction of new abilities. When an enemy is introduced the fight begins as kinda a mystery into what their ability is, how it works and then how to overcome it. Reusing an old stand cuts out those 1st steps because the audience already knows how the stand works. A great example of this is Boingo and Tohth in part 3. After his introduction you understand that him and who ever he's working with will mess up an interpretation of Tohth and then lose the battle. When Hol Horse & Boingo work together you pretty much already know Hol Horse is gonna mess up but youre just waiting for when. While I personally enjoy their time as a duo I can how that would be boring to write. Especially when instead you can write about a brand new stand ability and user with unique quirks that challenges our heros. When a stand user comes back for a rematch it kinda ruins the feeling of "This guy could be unbeatable" as you wonder how his opponent is gonna beat him.

[@goodloverice9797]

I agree with the point about the western manga releases ! I'm currently reading Part 7 and it has taken me 2 years to get to chapter76 and its not because i hate sbr i really like it, its just I'm such a slow reader when it comes to reading digitally the moment if i don't have the tab open all the time I just forget If we were caught up with the manga releases I would have already completed it because reading manga physically is just so much easier for me. Now the hardcovers are nice i do like them and do own some volumes its just i wish they could have started sooner so we could atleast have the beginning of sbr out here, I'd honestly be happy with paperback volumes if we would actually be up to date.

[@bilalak9090]

i know im like 5 months late but what specifically makes reading digitally hard?

[@taltenyyo]

Something I really hate and I realized while reading the Wonder of you Pursuit arc is how there's no social or legal impact in the show for anything, like they would beat somebody or shoot someone in front of a group of people or even cops and 2 scenes later they're walking normal like nothing happened, nobody cares. In the Wonder of you arc they got arrested for like 3 panels I think and then nothing, cops forgot like GTA cops. I understand that it would be stupid for the story to be hiding from cops all the time and that way we focus only on what matters but it feels so stupid at the same time that there are no rules. I'm not a huge fan of One Piece but I gotta say at least they do that way better than JoJo

[@legendary8879]

What do you mean? In the Wonder of u the only time they do something criminal in públic is at the start of it, and then they get arrested, josuke is extremelly harmed so they have to send him to the hospital, he stays in the hospital for the entire Arc so there's no reason for them to look for him.

The DLC added too few characters, with two of them being from EoH and two being part 4 characters no one asked for and meanwhile part 8, which need the most amount of characters the most only got one at the end...

[@lpfan4491]

It's genuinely so scuffed that videogames always ignore the idea of Stand Users seeing the unawakened Hermit Purple as referenced by Araki at one point.(Heck, the anime adaptation of BT put a cameo of the stand in the opening, it is not like the idea is entirely forgotten across the franchise) There is some writingpotential there, yet the newest games with significant dialogue just didn't take it. Instead they decided to reference Jorge Joestar of all things. And well, some more minor ones: -Part 6 connects to its preceeding parts the least, instead going all the way back to part 3 to continue that whole conflict with the next generation without many extras. It is like if Part 4 suddenly decided to pick up major continuity with Part 1 while only paying cameo-service to parts 2 and 3. 5 didn't have the *biggest* connection to 4, but the short prologue quest of Koichi and Jotaro investigating Giorno is a lot more than we get moving from 5 to 6. And it is not like Araki just stopped tying new parts to older ones, because Part 8 very clearly establishes its ties to Part 7. -We should have gotten the other DiU live action movies. It is genuinely sad looking at the "Chapter 1" in the title of the first one, because there just ain't anything else. -Videogames should either be part specific again or not be afraid to go fully original interms of writing. The end of Eyes of Heaven effectively ripping off Part 3's ending(which is literally in the game already, mind you) was pretty disappointing. 7:24 Part 1 has a lot of diffrences indeed. And tbh, it is a 50/50 if the anime resonates with someone or not. While I actually prefer the changed scene-order at the beginning of it, the first episode has genuinely poor pacing because it skips around the entire time...because they pushed the entire prologue and "Dio the Invader"-part of the plot into a singular episode instead of just making it two. It got me on the brink of dropping out, but luckily the rest of it afterwards hooked me a lot more. And well, the whole "sanding down"-thing you mentioned. A relatively big character change was part of it, which some people will like and others hate. Jonathan had a lot more rough edges in the early manga that were removed in the anime, presumably to correspond to how his legacy across the series would later become being a paragon of justice that effectively cursed evil to have to deal with his descendants in the future. 10:40 Viz continues to give manga readers a headache. I'm not really a manga reader myself, but I have certainly seen them do some damage in the past(Looking at you, english Yu-gi-oh manga translation.), so this does not surprise me at all.

[@theguy5855]

[@KumoKumiko]

fair points, though I prefer the limited application of prior cast tbh, save expanding and interconnecting the world for post-hoc Side Stories and Fanfic. I mean, this is basically the Point of stuff like TSKR, CDDH and the like. narrative potential can certainly exist for side characters, and is fun to see, but it's a balance to consider alongside the current narrative being told. there's a kind of meta and expectation that can arise from reading a scenario in the Current Main Story, seeing tension and then realizing "ah, but if so-and-so from Part X jumps in rn, this problem is solved instantly". I'd much rather Araki pick and choose carefully which moments something like that occurs, even if I'm engaging in hype-denial or missing an opportunity to broaden the scope of an individual part and connect it to the wider world setting. like, for example, reading Part 6 makes rereads of Part 4 even crazier, realizing Jotaro's getting into shenanigans with Rats and Sheer Heart Attack while his TODDLER DAUGHTER IS HALFWAY ACROSS THE GLOBE, and it's fun to engage with that idea in fanfic, but that gets in the way of Josuke's story of bonding with him as a surrogate uncle, or Koichi's arc

[@lordouidward9992]

idk if anyone is watching this who hasnt been able to get into the series, but if you are, try starting on part 2 then come back to part 1 for context.

[@lordraiden7397]

Can we talk about how wonder of U's power set sounds boring in terms of power escalation? Instrad of anything clever or different its basically "YOU THINK ABOUT ME!

[@geschnitztekiste4111]

Yes it's a shame that so many characters are underused, but at the same time, by making new characters instead, Araki opens the door for even more characters that can be used in supplementary material like Purple Haze feedback or even fan works. Like, JoJo wouldn't even have half as many characters if they were frequently being reused and I love the series' sheer number of character designs and colorful personalities. Even those minor villains have their fans, La Squadra for example is pretty universally loved even though they don't really reappear after their one fights. And sure, seeing them fleshed out more would be good but then we probably wouldn't have some other beloved minor characters. A lesser author and character designer would struggle to make them unique enough to stand out, but Araki has the skills and talent to make every throwaway character memorable to some people and that is absolutely a strength, even though it sacrifices a more traditional way of worldbuilding.

[@lambda1863]

Jobin is unironically one of the best jojo villians because hes a sympathetic villian done right hes not "yeah i killed your family but 8 years ago my dog died" he is trying to get the mcguffin that the hero wants for very good reasons "cure his son from a curse" i also like tge fact that Jobin has an ideal family like wife a son a dad but he kinda neglects them and doesnt treat them very well as apposed to gappy who had no one but went out of his way to protect yasuho or norisuke or the whole higashikata family really

The big problem of part 8 is that all those characters are there, but we don't actually see much of them, we don't really see them interacting much and they don't even get a chance to do useful stuff. The story just tells us they're there and that's it. Like, Daiya gets a short arc then is gone for the rest of the manga. Hato kills one villain and is gone for the rest of the manga too. Norisuke appears for a bit earlier on and helps in one fight and then is gone for the rest of the manga. Joshu gets a filler arc for himself but only appears outside of that to be an annoyance. Kato is introduced and quickly forgotten until the very end where she suddenly shows up again just to die.

[@lambda1863]

@MagmaMKII I agree I personally think Joshu should have been with Josuke and Yasuho instead of the plant guy. Joshu had an arc in shakedown where he started to act nice to Josuke then at the end he's like "fuck josuke" like that should have been expanded upon

I also Think that avdol Should have stayed dead and his father actually be a character.And we could see the dynamic between Abdul's dad and the rest of the group even keeping the final death the same where he says.I won't protect you but then protect them anyway

Okay one Correction, Jojos DID get a movie after the phantom Blood Movie It being the Rohan au Louvre (The Rohan At the Lourve Live action movie)

5:30 by far my favorite scene (*spoiler warning* for those who haven't watched) is K-Y-S AURA

[@Wyrmsforbrains]

It would honestly just be so cool if we saw what some of the countless part 3 villains were up to

[@dariusrhodes778]

Yeah I think araki could do more with old characters and could have expanded the story especially on part 1 and 2 but at the end of the day no story is perfect and jojo is a story about a bloodline not just 1 person in that bloodline.

[@il3fortunato664]

Italian here ☝️ While we are on par, alongside France, we have to wait a lot to have new editions or new volumes. For JoJo, we are still stuck on Part 8... for JoJoLands we have to wait almost another year kinda before we get the first volume. Is still better to be closer on the original publication to wait who knows how much. We recently ended the spinoff series Crazy Diamond's Demonic Heartbreak and get the Purple Haze Feedback Novel on May 14th. Yeah, the first JoJo Novel that was released like 23 years ago. For Novel releases we still have a little problems, manga series have also a bit of issues but it's slightly better (except for the Black Edition of Berserk, that was a mistake).

[@TreeckoDX64]

At least you guys are getting stuff, here in Brazil publication just started at 2018, and now we are at Stone Ocean vol. 2, and in the spin-off department we only got the (beautiful) Rohan at the Louvre, with no plans to publicate any other 😢

It was hard at the beginning to get into the anime but it picks up by part 3 I went back and rewatched it from start to finish and enjoyed it all

MY GOODNESS THE ISSUE WITH MANGA RELEASES IS TRUE. I am not just willing but EAGER to give my money to have Steel ball run in phyiscal media. IT'S BEEN YEARS WHY HAVE YOU NOT YET.

[@TreeckoDX64]

14:24 actually (☝️🤓) we do have the Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan Live-Action miniseries + the Rohan at the Louvre adaptation, which is movie lenght and it's considered a actual movie, not that make much of a difference for the JoJo movie scene as a whole

Crazy how you have to torrent too watch it😭

[@TreeckoDX64]

@@METAsMETAs true, the fact that this type of stuff don't come to the west makes my blood boil 😓. At least Netflix brought the OVA's and even dubbed for a lot of languages, but it's such a wasted potential that the Live-Action series is stuck at Japan, especially when Doramas where on a rise in some countries, like here in Brazil

10.10: yes! Thats my biggest gripe right now and has been for a very long time T_T Im kinda young still, but not by much, but at this rate, I fear I may NEVER get to see part 8 make a official us manga release and it makes me so sad. I have not gotten to read it yet. I still have hope for part 7 as we finally started getting part 6... but realistically.... well, id have thought we'd hear something for part 7 anime by now but still crickets as far as I know. I know animation takes a long time to do, but at this point in my life, I really need even just a sniff of reassurance its not too much longer to hold on to hope. T_T

,,what i hate about jojo´´ is a sentence i never thought i would hear

[@lindaunderling4637]

I personally believe Tooru was intentional. He's a rock human, He lives and dies by living in the shadow of humans. He was as innocuous as the silica based life forms throughout history

[@PrestonMunday]

It would be cool to see a grown up Mannish Boy as an antagonist in a later part.

Some other things I hate about the colored manga is how they color the stands. It’s getting better but they used to be a solid color and that just looks bad, take Speed King for example. Just red

[@KamenRaidenDorysamy]

I really agreed at the second topic as well👍. The villains that enters the story and suddenly have a present with no foreshadowing whatsoever means it’s just a lazy plot device for the author who cannot take the story in a meaningful direction.

[@UnohanaMash]

Hating is truly something I do with passion myself. Great video!

[@IPlayKindred]

unpopular opinion, the black and white panels are almost always better anyways, because most of the time colouring is done for clarity and nothing else.

[@electricburst0986]

I would love a updated eyes of heaven movie with Jodio in it

[@sakanamichan3714]

If I had to pick a complaint, it’s that Araki gets into repetitive habits. Killing dogs is terrible? We see it repeated across 6 parts. Assaulting women is terrible? We see it repeated across 3 more parts. It’s still terrible each time but it becomes more groan-inducing than shocking

[@ChameleonJailhouse]

Nice vid man. By the way Metas, out of all the fights of Part 3, which ones would you cut? I do agree that some of the fights felt like filler, but I'd like to see your opinion on which fights you'd like to cut

[@hasiko_5]

For diavolo it kinda makes sense since he wants to be an enigma

[@kbgrevolver4563]

I'd watch a Live Action Dead Man's Questions movie

honestly video game wise i wish we had a game a bit like eyes of heaven in term of environment and movement ability in 3d space but at the same time having a bigger move poll like All Star Battle

[@SwampWater_Syrup]

There's no villains to bring back from part 3 to part 6 all the cool ones died

[@kevinnigins9488]

Um, no?

[@Jarethttorney]

The one thing I dislike in the series is how some objectively dumb things need to occur for the story to function like Avdol not burning down the mansion or Narancia shooting at Risotto before thinking to check who or what threw the scalps at them, same reason I don't like a lot of horror movies.

[@hoangpham5056]

I agree with u about avdol's one but not the risotto's one. Narancia get chased constantly. It's mafia if u are slow u die. And there ony one person on the cliff with same direction of the throwing scalps. U are stupid if u dont act first

[@wurmrave6831]

It was bad, but nothing in fiction can be handled that bad.

[@GDTril]

The only point I disagree with here is the not adding old characters in new parts. I like that each part has a new cast and entirely separate plot lines. We already have seen the stories of the old cast so then it’s time to move on to the new cast. This is a thing about jojo that I love that is also shared with something else I really like, Persona. I think that if jojo were connected it would make the series worse because we don’t need to further develop older characters, that just further complicates conversations on a part by part basis and makes each part less individual. Plus, it’s a perfectly valid reason for Araki to not do it just because he doesn’t want to. After all, it’s the story he wants to tell, characters he wants to make. I’d rather he come up with his ideas than discard them for further development of already fine characters

[@BlackShadow01-05]

You see the only thing I like about DIO is the fact that you have to know Dio. The late backstory thing isn’t an issue there for me because DIO has reputation. Tohru and Diavolo have that issue because you didn’t know them prior. You see a character that did the late backstory thing right was Kira in the anime. This is because of the Easter eggs.

[@davstard]

I agree with your point of previous characters not existing, like where the fuck were josuke and giorno during part 6?

[@nineteenseventyfive6709]

Okay but… why would they be there? Josuke maybe, because Jotaro could call him over theoretically, but what would be the justification for Giorno showing up?

[@davstard]

@@nineteenseventyfive6709 Giorno was stated to be near florida in the stone ocean manga, yet it was just a tease and araki did not do anything with it. He’s also Dios son and Pucci is obsessed with anything Dio related.
