THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Cool to see they're adapting chapter 9+ and onwards this episode.

Good God, Polpo is just as disgusting as he is in the anime as in the manga. Giorno gets tested and I think they captured the psychology rather well for the episode. Hope they can keep this up.

Lol, Polpo Test is actually a thing.

Polpos design caught me off guard and that's quite an interesting entrance test.

Creepy, yet great episode again.

Every time I hear this ED I'm left wondering if this is real life lol

Polpo being a glutton shocked the hell out of me honestly, I was expecting him to look like a normal badass lol but he could be menacing still so I wasn't underwhelmed

And WOOOOOW, these Italian guys have some broken ass Stands lol, I'm scared to see everyone else's now xD And was Koichi's eyes always blue lol?

Pretty good episode overall, wasn't as good as the first two but it was still very very nice

Poor old man. Didn't deserve such an ending. Polpo looked as gross as I remember him. Black Sabbath looks great and menacing. The direction of this part has been pretty solid thus far. Cannot wait next week

Another great episode! I am just awestruck by the beauty of the art and animation and overall execution of the episode.

And I finally got to hear that typical Koichi type Screaming which I missed so much since part 4. "Boku no PASSPORTO!!!"

I swear the episode only lasted 5 minutes.

Somehow, Polpo looked even more gross than in the manga (especially when he removed the piece of cookie that was in his tooth and throws it to Giorno, fucking disgusting), while still looking intimidating and threatening despite his design (the voice helped).

That poor old janitor didn't deserve to die. He was in the wrong moment at the wrong time, and he had to die unjustly :'( Polpo's Stand (not gonna give the name for anime-onlies) looked very cool, cannot wait for the battle against it next week.

I enjoyed Koichi's screentime. His screams are hilarious as always. Better to treasure those moments well

Eh, I'd argue if he didn't deserve such an ending. We don't know about him that much, but what we do is that he was really vengeful. That splash of water was NOT an accident. Giorno was higher on the stairs, AND taller than him, no chance for him to drop it so high without it being deliberate. He propably wanted revenge for the fact that Giorno didn't help him few scenes before.

Well, that revenge cost him dearly.

Oh come on now, this is nothing more other than a baseless assumption of yours. If he had actually held a grudge, he would have just blasted him with the pump and later claim it was an accident and that he didn't control the flow of water. He just accidently splashed his arms which happened to hold the lighter and that cannot be called a revenge. JoJo is full of "coincidences" likes this unless you can support the theory that the guy actually knew about Giorno's ordeal to join the mafia and how important was the lighter. He was just a minor character who died for being at the wrong place at the wrong time and this happens a lot in this series.

i really like how creepy they handled black sabbath's first appearance, really this anime is just totally nailing the tone perfectly largely i think in part to the ost not being such a rehash of part 3's like how 4's was.

The episode is basically an infodump and a character introduction, but the thing I found weird is that Polpo was supposedly known about Giorno by Bruno, who was looking for the guy who attacked Luca and the only thing he knew about him was his name ,just because the airport officers told Bruno that Giorno was around there. That doesn't make sense.

On the other hand, what kind of test to enter in an organization is just keep a lighter on. That's pretty dumb considering the scope of the organization as described by Bruno.

Ok after this week's episode I made up my mind: I hate the ending. There's no way I can take anything serious by listening those first lines of the song. Unless...they edit the ending like they did with Roundabout. Of course that song is much larger so I'm not sure if they could do that with this new ending.

Anyways. Polpo had the same voice I was expecting and was nice to see him animated. Loved the way they portraited him and some of the scenes were really well done. Giorno trying to leave the prison made me hold onto the edge of my seat. Black Sabath's debut was gold, I still remember my reaction when I read the manga and a frickin stand arrow came out of his mouth, couldn't believe it. Glad they did honor to that part.

Really liking this adaptation so far.

I thought Polpo was an unattached Stand masquerading as a mattress.

At first, the Jodeci ED was hilarious. Now it's just downright creepy. Would rather hear Imagine Dragons now.

I thought the mattress was the stand, but nah, he's just that big he can pretend to be one.

God that weird stand is creepy as hell, it fires stand arrows from it's mouth!

Really? I haven't read the manga but it seems pretty obvious. The point is that people will fail to keep the flame lit. Then when they relight it Black Sabbath uses the arrow to try and make them stand users. If they get a stand then they can join the mafia.

Just like in part 4 when you're stabbed by an arrow either you survive and get a stand or you die

Haha yeah, I haven't read the manga in a while and when Giorno thought that the reappearance of his fingers was due to his stand I was like "But... that's not what Black Sabbath can do right ?"

If the real purpose is to get a stand to join them, why they don't simply use the arrow first to see if he can get a stand, put him to test for a period of time doing some unimportant but related activities while keeping secretly a eye on him, and kill him if they discover his real intentions, because Bruno made clear that they kill the traitors. Thus my point about the lighter test being dumb.

^This. Also all of the Passione members are not stand users, most of them are, but those (rare I guess) that succeeded the test with the lighter don't get a stand but proved their will to join the gang. I can only name Lucca right now, but I think it was mentionned somewhere else that those having "administrative" tasks are not stand users.
