So far a lot of the same stuff happens, but the anime doesn't feel as bizarre as the manga.

Holy, this ep is such a blast!

Zombie Bruford returned to being a noble Sir Bruford, and gave his sword to Jojo (where's the sword now tho?)

Poco taunting Tarkus with his ass is so damn hilarious! I like this kid, then I liked him, even more, seeing his back story and his bravery to do what must be done despite the pain that will come. He effectively just saved Jojo's life along with the villagers' life.

Damn, that ending's suspense is really fucking high, especially after knowing for a fact that Zeppeli may die here...

Great episode. Made me a bit sentimental with Poco's little flashback. though Poco remember pain is not to be feared.. but damn after 10 concussions broken bones.. irl you end up not being able to take a basic IQ test due to your short term memory and lack of concentration. You end up wondering why the fk you were reckless. But no regrets right? fk now Life has been cut more than half or perhaps less.

Behold of my awesomeness~

Have to admit, not really enjoying this anymore. I thought the first 3 episodes were excellent, it presented a world of supernatural mystery of the mask along with this soothing rivalry between Dio and Jojo, but once the martial arts stuff came in, it really turned shounen too fast, too quickly, the commentary during fights is really turning me off.

Frankly, this is quite possibly the lamest anime I’ve ever seen, and as of this episode, I worry that it’s a huge waste of time. I’m sure there’s some 11-year-olds out there who don’t know any better, but I don’t see how any normal adolescent or adult could stomach this. Of course, I have to keep watching, 1. because that's what a faithful critic does, and I shall rate it objectively, and 2. because I finish what I start -- hoping perhaps A. the anime miraculous becomes better, or B. that keeping an open-mind will welcome beneficial experience.

Having said that, from what I’ve seen of the later seasons, the series appears to get better. That’s the consensus and what everyone says. But, do the producers of this show look back, in retrospect, and see what a bore this first season is?

AND WHY DOES SPEEDWAGON NARRATE EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS

I hear a lot of people referring to this anime as somewhat of a ‘parody’ of anime, though. Like, maybe the anime is intentionally bad? Maybe it’s somewhat self-aware?? Perhaps?? Is Speedwagon explaining all that unfolds supposed to be a punchline of sorts?

I seem to be in the minority here. Everyone else is praising the episode. I'm not gonna put them down because people like what they like, but, like, am I missing something?

Poco (to be frank I didn't get this one myself)
And last but not least Ronnie James DIO

And of course, Tarkus playing in the back during the Tarkus fight, very fitting.

After a honorable battle between the two, Blueford has accepted its fate and surrenders to JoJo. "Pluck" is what he gives to our MC and even to this day I still don't know the hell that means, but nevertheless our monster warrior put up a respectable last fight. Too bad Tarukus has really gone to the evil himself, but hey that kid showed him some literal ass lmao.

Pretty rough episode in my eyes, but hey we are heading into the climax for this arc. And Zeppeli NOOOOO---

Meh it was alright. For me the pacing is too fast that, it feels like the interactions are just too sudden and weird. So I don't really build any of that concern for the characters in this episode.

But how is JoJo able to withstand so long being hanged up there? Jeez thats intense.

I almost gave this episode a 3. I am watching a lot of anime, and if I can't recall or attach to anything from the previous episode or so, I will have trouble liking this episode. Sadly, this episode did suffer of that, but the end really helped make it all worth the journey. The song really does so much for this show.

Finally I know where the bit where Johnathon goes: “How my heart resonates. I’m pulsing with heat and life! My very blood is a symphony within me! SUNLIGHT YELLOW OVERDRIVE!” Is literally from this episode in the fight with Buford. Which was really good, Buford may have lost his fight but he still had some good left him before he died he even complimented Johnathon about his bravery and even gave him his sword. I even understand what “Pluck” means. A very old timey word to describe someone who is courageous and that’s certainly what the former was in the moment right there.

I love how the trio as well as Poco escape with a pillar made of leaves. Absurd but hilariously awesome at the same time. It’s a shame that Zeppeli knows something that the others don’t and I think at the time I didn’t know what it was but man the guy’s still awesome regardless what happens to him. I love how Roundabout played before the normal ending started with Zeppeli just striding towards Tarkus was pretty cool there. Great episode all around.

How are they going to beat Dio? It was great to see Poco overcome his fears and to learn how Zeppeli discovered Hamon!
