THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
And thus, Avdol returned to the land of the living. But only after a stylish reintroduction (YES I AM!) and giving Cameo his own (kinda hilarious) version of hell. Polnareff had fun in the end as well, though. He is truly the most moe Crusader, shame the others don't trust him that much lol.

Next time:



PS: Damn, created this earlier than planned by accident.

Damn, that got crazy. It's great to see Avdol back and manly tears were shed ;_;



The battle was alright I guess, not one of my favorites from this season. It was great to see Magician's Red back though. GG Judgement. Ah I miss Avdol.

Great to see Avdol unexpectedly come back to life with a flashy entrance. They seem to have bought a submarine, but from what we already know, there is no safe way to travel :p

Poor Polnareff.. Always suffering to the max. I thought he was definitely going to die. Good thing Avdol appeared again and just in time!

Magician's Red is as strong as ever; dealt with Judgement quite effectively! Hell 2 U!
That pissing scene though.. Some hilarious male bonding times! XD

Polnareff's reactions after knowing that he was left out of the group was priceless! Poor guy.. XD

Good episode. Damn, Joseph got some big bucks to purchase that huge submarine!

It's really nice to see Abdul again, but coming back to life with circumstances like this, and denying that he was killed.. meh/ It looks like a cheap asspull.

Why is it getting censured right now? Lol, that's not anything compared to what we already saw since the start of the series, there's no need to censure it...
They are going to Egypt in a submarine? 100% death chance.

Am I happy that Abdul's alive? YES I AM! I guess I could understand why some people don't like this part, but there's a right and a wrong way to revive dead characters, just most of the time it's done the wrong way, but JoJo once again shows you how it's done the right way.

So yes, very good to have Abdul back, although it seems he left a chunk of brain back in India. That's fine though, Jotaro and Kakyoin are more than enough to fill in the "stick up your butt" personality quota.

It is a cheap asspull. Reason being that the editors made Araki bring him back, because the polls showed Avdol was popular.

Basically, he was meant to die there but was written back in because the fans liked him.

To be fair, no one important died this early in Phantom Blood or Battle Tendency either.

Well that was unexpected! Avdol lives!

The tone of this episode was very dramatic, but then the magic that is Polnareff kicked in. He's a one man comedy troupe.

Ah yeah! My man Avdol's back. Too bad the fight wasn't great though that was my only issue probably I was expecting too much since Avdol being back is the main focus. The explanation given how he's still alive kinda makes sense thinking about it except maybe becoming unconscious.

Maybe if the animators did a brief scene back after Avdol (seemingly) being killed to help compensate the three talking and not to tell Polnareff kinda like they did with the coffin having a room for two in the first episodes to bridge any plot hole that may turn up. More then likely I'm over thinking this. I wonder if they gonna make it to Egypt before episode 25 and is it going to still keep going after that as the news on it said?

Agreed.

This was always my most hated JoJo fight ever, but the anime version's not so bad. It played out Polnareff's near-death a hell of a lot better, which only adds to his already great character arc (best crusader no question).

More importantly, the anime's sense of comedic timing is absolutely fantastic, and it's already saved several parts that were mediocre in the manga - Judgement is no exception.

Well that was a lol ep XD Too much censoring though :(

I did feel that Avdol really changed XD Suggesting "Nature's call" into the pipe was hilarious XD his "Tsk tsk" "YES I AM" and "Hell 2 U" were all quite fun hehe.

I liked the way they explained it. Some may say it's an asspull but I do think it was pretty well explained and pulled ^^

Dat submarine though :O

Alright episode, honestly they couldn't have handled Avdol's "death" and return any better. I think David Productions, knowing what was ahead, made a conscious effort to portray his injuries as significantly less decisively fatal. As a result, it is slightly more "believable" for him to be alive. The others are still jerks for acting so indifferent towards Polnareff's hurt feelings >:(.

So High Priestess is going to take 2 episodes after all huh? While I'm glad that the fight is getting the attention it deserves, that will mean that we will have one stray episode for sure now. I remember someone mentioning the chance of the final episode being filler content (which could happen if they chose to focus on Dio or something), but I can see another possible option:

I expected bigger flames (no pun intended) about Avdol's return, but I'm pleasantly surprised. DP indeed made Avdol's return much more believable at least to me, also, how the comedy was handled was pure gold.

Next episode is gonna be pretty funny if I remember correctly.

Yeah, this was definitely better handled than in the manga though I still can't say I'm a fan of this fight. Avdol came off as quite the bad ass at points, though. Why was zombie Avdol wearing clothes and Sherry not?

That was hilarious and Pol Pol was really cute in a pitiful kind of way. I don't know what this battle was like in the manga, but I thought it was fine in the anime. Lots of fun and dramatic moments with awesome visuals. I just really liked the look of this episode.

I really thought he didn't die when he "died", because Jojo and Joseph didn't get mad at Hol Horse when he was running away (when the Empress was holding Polnareff's leg). But the way he came back was pretty weird, if not bad. Complete asspull.

Sometimes I like when MCs die, it gives some meaning and transcendentality to the mission.
