Kinda feel bad for Shigekiyo this episode.

Kira's mind games and his involvement with the Killer Queen Stand made this episode pretty thrilling imo. Its ability packs explosiveness with bombs. I find it amusing at how Kira is presented as a normal guy as well even though he's far from it. Can't take my eyes off of those hands this episode

Araki likes Shigechi more than DIO
Anyone who hates on Shigechi -

- Jotaro's final Part 4 outfit is here and it's on point as per usual

- Brilliant episode.

Now this is the type of quality we've been waiting for. Killer Queen looks more menacing in the anime than in the manga imo. I always thought those huge eyes in the manga made him look a bit cute here and there.

Best episode so far to me.
I felt bad for Shigechii (when I read the manga I felt a bit relieved) and the animation improved a lot. Also, the Killer Queen's skull at the beginning gave me chills.

RIP Shigechi, he was unlucky.
Jotaro and Koichi found Kira, or at least they saw his hand, that explosion will probably help him escape though.

The anime made me feel more bad for Shigechi than the manga. The OST and animations were great in this episode. Also the pacing was slower than the usual, but I loved it. Kira and Killer Queen are badass af and we got the beginning of the Sheer Heart Attack arc adapted in this episode. We got the first chapter of SHA adapted, and the fist couple of pages of the next chapter. I'm guessing that they will adapt 5 chapters in the next episode and 5 chapters in the episode after and end the arc. That part where the stand users were meeting up was pretty cool, combined with that slower version of the Stardust Crusaders theme OST. The OST for Shigechi's death was good too. And the Kira theme played when the tailor got killed was pretty chilling. Also, Josuke's final outfit looks 10/10. It doesn't have a random pointy triangle coming out of its shoulder XD

Killer Queen looks glorious :D

Shigechi's death was well portrayed in the anime.
Thank god Kira took care of business, if Shigechi would've gotten out and Kira would've like a dumbass for explaining his abilities, revealing his name and all.
That nice and creepy skull on Kira Queen in the beginning of the episode.
Sheer heart attack in full force, Jotaro is getting a run for his money.
Way better than the last episode and the animation was pretty decent in this episode.

Holy shit i actually teared up to Shigechi's death this time, so much sadder than in the manga.

The only noteworthy change from the manga i found in this episode was:

Jotaro asked Joseph to use his Hermit Purple to find the killer's identity with a spirit photograph, but the picture was of that shoestore, which is why he went there, however in the anime that shoestore is the final location on his list of places to investigate.

The only thing I can nitpick about this episode is Sheer Heart Attack's voice. I think he has the same voice as Kira, which is kinda logical, but I liked way more what they did with it in All Star Battle. Guess it's more menacing now.

Animation and artwork was great. Loved the way Killer Queen looked.

Shigechi scenes and his voice actor were superb. OST made it even better and got me a little teary eyed when he died.

The iconic moment where everyone meets up was also done really well.

For me, this is definitely the best episode so far. I don't think I could have asked for anything more.

RIP Shigechi. A Stand group meet up. If only Jotaru can use The World longer, he could have finish Kira right there but he can't because he can only use for 1 second right now if I'm not mistaken right?
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

He was being cautious since he doesn't know Kira's abilities. Would be brash to just jump in since Kira was luring Jotaro and Koichi towards the bomb by purposely taking his time to grab his suit.

Now that's more like it! I was waiting for this. This is the best episode of the season so far.

I was actually quite sad when Shigechi died, which is quite unexpected given how annoying and creepy he is. His determination to warn Jotaro and his last ditch effort with the button was really admirable. The part when all the stand users gathered together was also quite nice. I didn't know they all knew each other. I guess they were all informed about the presence of the killer in town seeing how even Shigechi knew it.

I found it weird they did not use Joseph's stand to find the killer or even Josuke's Crazy Diamond to fix the suit from the broken button (he's done that before). Nevertheless, it's a minor nitpick. The scenes at the tailor's were quite intense...I just knew the whole time something bad would happen.

I'm really excited for next week now, the show has officially picked up steam!

PS. Wow, all 48 watchers voted 5/5 so far...Nice :) Goes to show how awesome the episode was.

Thank god all the budget that was saved in the last episode was spent well in this one!!!

Shigechi's last moments felt a lot heartbreaking than in the manga — more proof of DP doing justice.

Damn... literally one of the most intense episodes of the entire JoJo's series of far imo. I couldn't help but feel really sorry for Shigecchi when he was in front of the door and exploding. This was pretty sad. When I read it in the manga, I actually laughed when he exploded tbh. I think the OST also helped build up that moment big time

Everything was top quality this episode. It really seems they saved spent of the effort on the good parts. I can see why people think Kira's the best Jojo villain. That moment Shigechi grabbed the handle and Kira's in the reflection of the window.. Pure awesome horror.
The ost in this episode was spot on. Not just around Shigechi's death, but the somber and looming music in the parts after his death just carried the feeling of despair and sadness perfectly.

This might be the best episode of Jojo so far. I'm always amazed by death scenes in this series. No final words, no holding the corpse. The way the ghost girl comfirmed the death was eerily similair to a police officer comfirming the death of someone to the familiy.

with the Shigechi death scene it was executed well but i didn't care in the manga and don't care now the character was just shit overall

at-least Sheer heart attack looks great although i do wish it had it's own unique voice

Jotaro can stop time for about a second now, as he says in the first ep. Maybe enough to get a look, but not enough to get back to safety. Jotaro isn't someone who likes to take risks like that.

I'd be sweating right now even if it wasn't 100 degrees outside, that episode was too intense! It felt more like watching Kaiji with how much unrelenting pressure there was. (I guess you could say David Bowie put me Under Pressure HA HA HA)

This might be a JoJo milestone where there was no comedy at all. Part 1 was serious in tone but had so many unintentional comedy moments with the amount of silly shit going on, part 2 was always funny with Joseph and Stroheim hamming it up, and part 3 had the most intentional comedy in all of jojo so far. Even with the super serious ending fights in dio's mansion there was stuff like senator wilson philips and just the over the top and silly way DIO acted. But here man, Killer Queen is NO JOKE.

Shigechi went out like a goddam hero. Fuck all his haters, he pulled a Kakyoin there sacrificing himself to help beat the main antagonist and protect his friends and family. Sure he could be annoying and childish, but that's because HE IS a child, a very young middle school child. Were you a well behaved mature person when you were in middle school? I'd bet not, so I think he gets way too much hate.

And right from the school fight to sheer heart attack, they really put up the heat all of a sudden. They teased Kira so much in the beginning and now he's just here all the time being a badass. Killer Queen is really strong, but can he take on echoes and star platinum at the same time? I can't wait to find out.
