The bro cam!

Well I think this episode was thrilling with the continued story of Josuke, Jotaro, etc trying to find more info on Kira. Nice to see Atom Heart Father, about time. What a clever bastard. This episode adapted more than I had expected.

- Kawajiri family is here, one of the greatest character moments of Diamond is Unbreakable, especially when Kira is assuming the identity of Kosaku Kawajiri

-Shinobu Kawajiri - Best girl of Part 4

- Hayato Kawaji -2nd best Kid after Shigechi

Can't wait for RPS KID!

Best Girl is here! I love Shinobu.


I really like Atom Heart Father. It's a pretty scary stand and one of Pink Floyd's best songs.

The quiet life turns into the suspicious and troublesome life or something like that.
I like how Kawajiri tries all his keys on the keyhole before finding the right one, nice little detail.
The fight against Kira's dad feels a little rushed.
Okuyasu's stupidity results in more stand of the week episodes, though some of them were pretty great.
Some development on the lore of the series with the 2nd arrow uncovered.
How do you go from this

to this?

This was a good scene to build tension with Kira struggling to open the safe leading up to him just stealing from the rent guy, I'm not gonna complain though I understand that they only have a set amount of episodes to fill, as long as they don't axe any major stuff.

Kira's new identity looked a bit weird at first, I thought his face was fucked up or something. There's another arrow and Kira's father is now getting involved, so things are gonna be more complicated for Josuke and the others.

Lol at Josuke's attempt at a cool one-liner. Keep practicing bro.

No opening this week,so we will have the new one from now on.Atom Heart Father showed its creepy power and I loved how they animated the dimensional distortions when Josuke ripped the photo.Jotaro used once again his mind and trapped Kira's father,but because of Okuyasu's stupidity he managed to escape and also steal the bow that Josuke found in Kira's house.Kira now as a different person still retains his everyday routine,which confuses "his" wife.I was a little upset they skipped the safe scene,but it can't be helped I guess.I really like how they potrayed Shinobu in the anime,total hottie.Great episode overall once again.Not really hyped for next week,but at least we will have Rohan.

Wild thought. What would happen if Josuke would've tried reattaching Kira's fingernails the same way as with his hand? Afterthought. What would happen if he tries to reattach all of the trimmed nails? Like all of them at once.

Because on one hand you can look at it as a global GPS on Kira Yoshikage but on the other, what would they even be supposed to be reattached to since his nails grew back?

My man Kira has a nice ass, and a nice girl.
And Kira father did a great fight! I forgot how scary his whole fight is!

Also, Jotaro saying "when things are useless, I give up", that pissed me off, but glad to see he was only giving a false sense of security to Atom Father.

5/5 Love this episode!

His stand doesnt work like that. Once something leaves the body for long enough it stops being a part of the person and also they would need to have the latest nails... This nails are like few years old and are dead cells. Crazy Diamond cant fix dead stuff.
It can't revive stuff, but it could fix his grandpa's dead body. It can always restore state, but it can't restore life. And I never saw anything to imply that there's any limitation to how recent the broken off part would have to be. Was that clarification ever made?

Nah. Its quite obvious if you think about it. Also read the manga. Its explained later, there was this scene with Kira's dried blood or something.
I read the manga and it never was obvious. There's plenty of stuff to signify otherwise like Crazy Diamond being capable of transforming something into its raw components, which implies no holds barred on how long the object has to be broken off. Can you point me to the chapter which has the thing with Kira's blood?

Even if that was a rule, considering how fast Kira's nails grow, there's good odds that he has some recent cuts that would work.

What I'm actually curious about is if it can restore a part that has already grown back.

I dont remember exactly what chapter, but it was the fight between kira and josuke and stray cat.
I think you are just thinking too much about this stuff, its interesting yeah, but nobody really cares about this details.
I'll check it out. Well if nobody cares then I should get no reply so no harm no foul I guess...

Edit: I saw Josuke throwing his own blood at Kira but nothing concerning CD interacting with Kira's blood.

6 chapters in one episode, so it was rushed. It was still a great though. New Kira look looks great and Atom Heart Father was just as intense and wacky as the manga. Jotaro was a badass for finding a way to trap Kira's father. Lol at Josuke saying something "cool" XD

I found the love for Kira's father towards his son very heartwarning... in a very twsited way, but still sweet. His Stand, if used properly, is one Hell of a treat, too bad for our herous Jotaro is very intelligent.

And speaking about Jotaro, he was a total badass in the episode, too bad Okuyasu screwed all his hard work, but, well, if that gives us new amazing and crazy battles, then good for me.

The new Kira was a let down compared to his David Bowie design, but I wouldn't say his design is bad, just not as good as the previous one.
About his "wife", she's hot, but a bit bitchy and inmature. At least she is pretty.
For a man who just wants a quiet life, Kira is pretty ripped. I almost forgot is JoJo the series we talk about after all. The moment when he steals the money of the creditor with Killer Queen was cool.

Cannot wait to see the coming of the next Stands of the Week and their abilities.

P.S: That brief image of Dio was nostalgic. It was itneresting to know how he obtained that quantity of followers with Stand now, since there are others bows and arrows around the world. It seems Stands users are really atracted by others Stand users. Hazamada's works has more sense now.

That was fucking hilarious: Josuke sounded so desperate when he said that I was suddenly reminded that he's just a 15 year old highschool boy.

This episode was gureito, as usual. Kira's new appearance is fittingly creepy (yet weirdly handsome) but I can definitely understand why his smooth manners and cool and composed demeanor could revive the flame of Shinobu-san's passion. Can't wait to see more from him.

Just a brief question for manga readers: How long will the 'Kira'-arc last? Will they take him down in the next episode or so? (I don't need spoilers for the content).

The gang always doing the stupid thing like they're in a horror movie is getting old... Anyways, Kira's quickly becoming my favourite JoJo villain, he's seriously leagues more competent than pretty much everyone they faced before.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

Jotaro's theme playing when he folded the photograph and sticky taped it close was probably one of the funniest things in DiU so far. Also like how they adapted Yoshikage Kira's new life alongside AHF, it made the episode flow together nicely despite the compressed pacing.

Next week the we'll get the most intense RPS match ever fought.

No, the kira arc is the final and definitive arc of DIU. It will last till the final 39th episode.

Wow, things keep getting more and more complicated for our heroes.

Not only does Kira have a new identity (which comes along with a really hot wife, I might say) but now they have to deal with who knows how many new stand users created by Kira's father.

Man, when will Okuyasu stop being stupid? I keep waiting for him to do something cool with that OP stand of his, but he keeps messing up. I'm guessing he's the comedy character of this arc.

My favorite scenes were with Kira's new family, though. I really enjoyed his new wife falling in love with him. I guess she finally got some excitement out of her dull life. I hope he does not kill her, though, since there were definitely some murderous vibes when he was cutting his nails.

Looks like we are back to stand of the week again, which is a disappointment after those stellar few episodes. I hope at least they are creative about it, and get some of the interesting side characters involved, such as Rohan.

first jojo episode i disliked, truly disliked (disclaimer before you get triggered, i didn't read the manga or care that any problems with this episode are also in the manga, when you're adapting something to a different medium you should have the ability to fix any problems the original material may or may not had) on with the bitching

Okuyasu was stupid as hell letting Kira's dad escape, i mean fucking braindead.

Star platinum the world could have saved them not only before they were trapped in the room (as soon as danger arose they Jotaro could have taken them immediately out of the room)

and when Kira's dad escaped Jotaro could AGAIN used star platinum the world to grab him and re-trap him.

the one liner was kinda shit, it was a cool setup with very weak payoff

and the ending was rushed, as there was practically no tension.

What i meant is as soon as they saw his dad, it doesn't.matter that there is an invisible wall there, there is a guy with a knife at jouskes head you book it. Run quickly and to the hills, but nah. Let's wait for us to catch up to his plan and risk death. If i was jotaro id immidietly turn on the world grab my friends and try to escape this crazy picture freak.

That wife must be very happy now to have Kira. Kira would make a great husband if he is not murderer. Even if she discovered she is not her real husband,I think she would be happy and still accept him.
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.

It really was. Look what he thought in the manga, on the left.


Also, how the voice actor delivered the line was more than enough to insinuate that he made a lame line, combined with the fact that Jotaro had to tell him to make one up, then to add to that afterwards it hit the commercial break. It's supposed to be a funny moment, and it is.
