| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- It was pretty tense with the soul chips. The mind games were clear and loved Jotaro's confidence in this. Looks like D'arby has some doubts about his own skills. His panicking behavior was amusing to watch after losing his cool and as well as having fears. Glorious ending and quite a fitting one for D'arby's end. Glad to see everyone's souls return. |
 |
| This episode was incredible, but holy crap the uncensored version can't come fast enough. |
| That was an epic bluff by Jotaro. He got that guy unconscious. I was wondering why his mouth his censored and it took me long to realize that he was smoking lol. |

| 10/10 Jotaro is the boss :D |
 |
| Jotaro Kujo bluffs harder than Phoenix Wright. |
| That was frigging awesome, had me on the edge of my seat, Jotaro's bluff was amazing. However: that censorship though, ruined the mood a teeny tiny bit |
 |
| Obligatory "OVA'S EPISODE WAS BETTER" post. But no, really, it was good but could have used a little more tense music around D'Arby's crazies. |
| Is it good though darby? Your fingers at a 90 degree angle, that doesn't seem too good. Anyway I knew as good as a gambler as he was, he couldn't beat jotaro at poker since he has the best poker face ever, and as I thought he got BLUFFED TO DEATH. I mean, with all that asphalt all over his face he could hardly see him at all!( Seriously though I really like that david pro treats the censoring as silly as the source material, I'm so glad they're in charge of this adaption) Man, if only kaiji had star platinum, it wold have made everything so much easier for him. Next week HOL HORSE BOINGO BROTHERS?!!?! Hype has reached maximum velocity |
  |
| Manga >>>>> anime > OVA The D'arby seizure could have been better :( Shooting DIO next week XD |
 |
| Jotaro!!!! HOLY SHIT!!! Dat Poker face! Dat Confidence!!! Insane XD Star Platinum's accuracy is crazy at the start XD Gotta love how he just broke D'arby's finger lol Finally someone who isn't doing this for Dio ^^; I expected the kid to be working for D'arby but the whole shop too :O The Hyperventilating D'arby & everyone scene was so hilarious ROFL XD R-R-R-R-R-R-Raise?!?!?! And adding his mom's soul XD D'arby got friggin MINDF***ED!! XD Hol Horse and Boingo? Also some Dio? Seems interesting :3 |
 |
| Heavy breathing : the episode. |
| Oh god who are you people? |
| openzageimuu! |
 |
| Jesus effing christ, that was some heavy breathing from D'Arby. Also, Jotarou is so good at keeping a poker face. Greatest line today:- "R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-RAISE?!" Looks like some DIO next week. Looking forward to it. |

| D'arby got B'arbied! |
 |
| That was fucking amazing. |
| Mother. Fucking. Jotaro. Holy shit, he's even more of an evil mastermind than D'Arby :D Man, casually smoking a cig, then sipping a drink while looking at him like the casual fuck he is... I almost feel bad for D'Arby, lost his mind for a the sake of a broken pair of cards... GOOD! |

| Nice to see Jotaro get some action in this episode and that moment and art design when D'Arby freaked out was awesome! Oh, and next episode will be awesome with Hol-Horse and Dio. |

| My favorite episode so far. |
| This episode was AMAZING. More intense than any battle with action. |
 |
| I wish my pokerface was good as Jotaro's. |
| Jotaro sure likes his fruity cocktails. |
 |
| Holy Fucking Sandwich with Fucking meat in a frying pan in a fucking sandwich !!! 5/5 GOOD!!! |

| Given the right situation , the right story , anyone can be shaped into Snake. -Revolver Ocelot , MGS2 |
| Looks like they had to cut corners in order to properly animate the cards and shuffling (which was pretty good)? I counted 3 shots where they showed the ceiling for no apparent reason, instead of things like Avdol sitting down animated. There was also the weird repetition of the shot of the building (complete with the go go go sound effects) and the note with Kakyoin's soul; that shot was repeated twice. Finally, that sketchy look they had near the end of the episode, when D'Arby caves in. You could say that it was just an artistic take on it, but since David Production never, EVER put something out like this before, I'm inclined to believe they did it because of time/budget restraints. Don't get me wrong though; I enjoyed the episode. I still thought it was fairly well done, apart from the things I mentioned. Feels like they busted out a whole different side to the OST for these last 2 episodes. |
| 5/5 should be renamed to GOOD!! in my opinion. |
| Given the right situation , the right story , anyone can be shaped into Snake. -Revolver Ocelot , MGS2 |
| I rewatched OVA episode right after anime episode and what I can say: episode was better than OVA in almost every point except two things: Jotaro's voice and camera roll (err... I forgot how it's called in English, sorry ) after cigarette and before juice. As for the D'Arby's voice... It's practically the same. Yes, I'm serious. This one's Engrish more noticable and hammy, though. Oh, and boy's design is better in OVA. |
| The Jotaro poker face is hard to beat. Specially with that censorship covering more than half of it in one go. |

| I kind of familiarize that new OST that plays at the beginning , I feel like it is a remix of an one of the way old Egyption records . Or maybe I am imagining it , anyway It's pretty awesome. |

| i swear i just pissed myself laughing too much at this episode xD holy shit this poker game escalated!!! i seriously lost it when he tried to call :D |
| That was crazy even by JoJo standards. Until the last moment I thought he switched his cards with Star Platinum but I could not imagine DÁrby would be scared shitless. Also, this censorship was really weird - for a moment I thought Jotaro's face had gone dark to intimidate his opponent but it was just a cigarette. IT's funny how they can show broken bones and lost souls but they are afraid to show smoking. After the intense couple of episodes, it looks like we are going back to comedy next week with the one and only Hol Horse. |
| Censoring smoking !?! This is stupid. Other than that the episode was good |
| I completely forgot Iggy LOL. Nice episode. |
| Most dramatic card game ever. Great episode. Dumb censoring. 5/5 |
| that R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-Raise was AWESOME LMAO and D'Arby's last minutes facial expressions are priceless 10/10 episode and FYI, it's been some kind of regulation in Japan that you can't show underaged kid smoking on television (reminder that Jotaro is 17 y/o) |
 |
 |
| Jotaro is so friggin' badass; wagered everything he could and bluffed on worthless cards and still ended up winning! So boss! >.< D'Arby was indeed terrifying, but just lost his cool at the end. That seizure though.. XD Great episode! Hol Horse's return with a new character next week should be interesting. |
 |
| I knew this episode would be epic ever since I read that part in manga after last episode. Now, onto reading rest of the manga. |
| Ad Astra Per Aspera |
| Just...too fucking good. |
 |
| Impossible to dislike an episode like this! Best bluff ever hands down. Second season is INSANE, next week: shooting DIO |
 |
| Amazing episode. |

| god damn this was good |
| I’ll see your Polnareff and raise you a Holly! Really pleased with the episode. |
| That change in artstyle when D'Arby couldn't call was amazing. |
 |
| Dude that was an amazing episode minus the censored smoking LOL |
 |
| Guy couldn't even speak. Now that's how you put the fear of the Lord DIO-sama into someone. |
