| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Kira looks good in that suit and tie with his hair style this episode. Josuke, you got competition Not bad after that drama with Hayato. I love the mind games play he plays with Hayato right in plain sight. Another One Bites the Dust is one of the most thrilling arcs imo and I'm glad the anime captured the thrill of that. Nice to see Rohan this episode as well with his talent. That Kira hair!  |
 |
| The Narrator really went out of his way to explain what Bites The Dust is. I forget if it was like that in the manga or not. |
| These explosions are slowly starting to affect my hearing, I'm sure of it. |
| And another one gone And another one gone And another one bites the dust |
Thank you, Kira. Now it will be JoJo Friday forever. |
Drake1000 said: Oh look another time related power for I don't mind villains learning new abilities on or off screen, but the timing, circumstances and ability itself are kinda too convenient. Much like with Yoshihiro's Stand Users, the arrow chose to power up Kira due to his resolve. It's kind of like how Koichi's Acts work in that anyone who gets a significant change in resolve or personality ends up affecting their Stand. The ability also isn't that convenient given that it's an extension of Killer Queen's existing skill set. Kira's ability lets him kill people and erase evidence. What better way to do that than resetting time to before people find out about your crimes? |
| Out of everything crazy that happened this episode, here I am just wondering how he made his hair like that with only a hairbrush. Impressive. |
Drake1000 said: That Zeppeli/Kakyoin moment for Rohan, except he didn't accomplish what he was trying to do (tell Jotaro and Koichi) in his last dying breath. To be fair, Caesar didn't really accomplish much with his death either aside from get his headband to Joseph, which Joseph could have just taken from his body or something if Araki wanted to go that angle. Joseph didn't drink the antidote until after he'd already defeated Wamuu.

That is Killer Queen's fourth bomb. :P |
Part 4 is over Kira wins |

| Always remember that anime is a niche medium in Japan. Manga sells way better |
| I love the fact that DW included most of the special characters in the Ending now that the series is nearing the end. |
 |
| "Convenient Powers" that is exactly why the arrow choose him - to have the convenient powers that he wants. It's the arrow's will. More answers will come in part 5 about the "convenient powers". |
|
| Great episode! And this is just the first episode of this arc! Also, rest in pieces, Rohan. I feel conflicted. On one hand, I love the fact that Kira is fighting back. On the other hand, I don't want to see another Shigechi death. Waking up in the morning, feeling confident and refreshed, getting ready to go to work, looking at how good my new hairstyle is, and then realizing that my boy just blew up one of my enemies. FeelsGoodMan. |
| Good episode, but could´ve been a lot better. Imo the right thing would´ve been end the episode with rohan´s death, then in the next episode and start the episode with hayato waking up |

| I've been saving this video for a whole year. It was worth it. |

| I kept hearing about Bites the Dust and I was very interested to see how it was going to be that power, and oh boy, it delivered, no idea how they will beat that, but it will be epic, that's for sure. Now really, I'm hyped as fuck, not sure how I will be able to handle the wait for the last 4 episodes. |

| Wow, that was so AMAZING! Hayato's despair is so good to watch xD TahZin said: "Convenient Powers" that is exactly why the arrow choose him - to have the convenient powers that he wants. It's the arrow's will. More answers will come in part 5 about the "convenient powers". Oh I see, that's why Bite the Dust fits exactly to Kira's needs (was too good to be truth). Thanks 4 the info. |
| so, 4 more episode? i don't remember the battle against kira at all but isn't it too much episode for 1 enemy? or maybe they will loop the opening for 24 minutes next episode lol |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
 They fucked up. I'm disappointed, but expected this kind of quality in some frames. |

| Hayato sure had Yoshikage in a pinch there. He had no other option but to kill him. And then the situation turns really desperate since the Jojos and co are planning on visiting the Kawajiri's for Hayato and no Hayato would confirm their suspicions. So Yoshikage gains this weird ass power where anyone who tries learning anything about Yoshikage from the boy gets blown up and time goes back an hour. That's one convenient power he has there lol. And poor Rohan has to deal with the most shittiest stuff out there. A stand sucks his nutrition, his house gets burned, a stand piggyback rides him, and now he's meeting Hayato first and he gets blown up. Poor guy. He has been close to dying so much and now he actually died lol (although time went back anyway). But will Rohan remember this encounter? I mean, he was the one who died so will he get that deja vu feeling when he comes close to dying or does that only happen with Hayato? |
| Well that upgrade definitely came at the worst possible time, it'll be interesting to see how Josuke and the others combat and overcome this. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Anime-only watchers must have been trolled hard this week lol.Kira killed Hayato and in his dispair the arrow pierced him giving him Killer Queen's trird ability Bites the Dust.Hayato now is a living bomb,stuck in a loop and cannot tell anyone about Kira,because they'll die and time will rewind again.Amazing start for this great arc.Next week will also be great. |
 |
| Wow, Bites the Dust actually lived up to the hype. I'm impressed. |
| every single one of my forum posts is dumb and invalid except for 1, I don't claim them it was a different person it was all fake |
| As much as i liked the concept of the timeloop, i hate how this all happened because they are juggling around with powers. Why did nobody stop Okuyasu to open up the photo. Why didnt jotaro stop time to prevent that, or letting him escape happen? If the arrow was seeking worthy people, why didnt it choose Hayato. That kid is a genius, even now. He had REALLY strong resolve to protect his mom. I dare to say even stronger than kira's resolve to hide. The kid went against something way beyond him and even though he was scared shitless (who wouldnt), he did stood against Kira. Jotaro-tachi conveniently doesnt look any direction, not even when Rohan is there, around 10 meters away. Not to mention car is there, too. Hayato experienced future, got sent back in the past. Yet there was no information about the fact that he got: ►in time loop (kira told him that) ►the fact that he is got some bomb planted on him If he was unconscious when he was being read by Rohan, how would Hayato know about all the events? - Sneeze, laugh, lightning strike, etc He KNEW about rohan, so the book should have read blew rohan up not "just" killed. This episode was fucking stupid, plot convenience ruined it. And second time: i cannot move past the fact that they pulled "okuyasu is stupid, so he pulls stupid shit" card with the polaroid. If he really is that incompetent, why the fuck would you leave the guy to watch over the photo.... As soon they put the f*kin thing on the wall, i was like "okay, i give okuyasu 2 minutes before opening it up" - i was not disappointed There were so many thing that they could have done. Like, Josuke...rip a tiny but of the paper off, so if he manages to escape, you could repair it, and have it return to you. (or, have the tiny bit act as a homing piece to track it down. I'm sad. PS: Also, deducting points for forced "as if you knew it would happen"... nobody talks like that, especially when you trip, and falling shit is expected. <Sigh> |

| They adapted 3 and a half chapters of AOBTD in this episode, way slower than the normal pace for this series. Hopefully they don't adapt the rest of AOBTD in one chapter since there's 6 and a half chapters left. They honestly should've tried to fit in 5 chapters and skip OP and ED. Great episode though. Some of the art quality was iffy, but the whole Rohan blowing up scene had good animations plus good direction. Music is great as always and Kira's seiyuu is awesome. I really loved the time-loop concept when I read the manga and it's done really well in this episode. Next episode should be even more fun. Hayato's a great kid though and he'll get more interesting later on. But Rohan exploding was so well done and the OST helped too. 5/5 Snoux said: This episode was fucking stupid, plot convenience ruined it. You know, putting logic and JoJo together is not a good idea. Even in the previous part, characters make stupid decisions just for the sake of plot convenience. There's a lot of nitpicking we can to to this whole franchise, like how for plot convenience, Stands were introduced to this series. If you start to look for logic in JoJo, you're gonna have a hard time when Part 5 gets an adaptation because it just works. |

Snoux said: Well yeah, there are moments were characters make smart decisions and moves. But that doesn't mean that they can't makes stupid decisions either.

| Bites the Dust is amazing! If you ask Hayato about Kira you're basically dead. |

Some of them are played for jokes too (like how Josuke stole two cellphones during Highway Star when he could've repaired the first one). I can mark down some situations to "not thinking clearly under pressure and life threatening situation", but there are times when its just too obvious. It doesnt make Jojo bad, or make me hate it, i just wish it wasnt for these antics. It just one of my pet peeves, a bit of a spot on an otherwise good show :) |

| @Snoux Are you that same person who ignored me giving you my explanation that the episode with Okuyasu falling for Yoshihiro's ruse was rushed & didn't follow through with everything in the manga? Unless this is something like Naruto or One Piece, an anime will NOT be able to adapt all the logistics from the source material as precisely as they can. |
