This adaptation really secceded my expectations, it got to the point of being actually better than the manga. Especially after this episode.
I absolutly like the music, & OMG that change in the opening, which made the episode more hype!
DIO has some great lipstick BTW XD

The opening was so cool.

I loved this episode. Dio and Jotaro constantly outwitting one another was awesome. It lasted all the way to the end of the episode, too.

Too bad about the wonky art every now and then. I'm sure it'll be fixed for the BD.

Final episode next week. I'm sad now.

Guys what about Araki foreshadowing the day we watched the episode? I just checked out and in the manga it's the same, lol.

The pacing is good, all the earlier parts were to slow, fights that should've taken 1 ep got 2 or 3 ep instead.
This whole adaptation would be better if it was 36 ep instead.

I agree that some fights were much too slow. I think around 3-4 chapters per episode is good though, for example the Emperor and Hanged Man and the majority of the Egypt fights were paced perfectly.

The main thing that bothered me in this episode (for pacing) was how DIO's World 14 and 15 (manga chapters) were so fast. Which is the segment that starts with the knives and ends with the x-ray punch. These chapters had a ton of tension in the manga and could easily carry an entire episode almost alone. But in this ep it's over in the blink of an eye and it doesn't really give you the proper sense of suspense and dread.

I'm just bummed out DIO's World isn't getting the love and attention David put into so many of the other fights. Pretty much most of the fights in their adaptation are on par or better than the manga (Vanilla Ice was ridiculously good), but I don't think I'll be able to say that about DIO's World. It's still awesome and I'm loving it though. I imagine the next episode will be fine for the pacing since they only have 4 chapters left, hopefully this will also facilitate a DiU teaser.

Maybe it's just me and I know we still have one episode left but this fight felt like it went on a lot longer in the manga. As someone already said, the part with the knife attack felt like it had a lot of tension to in the manga. In the anime it felt like just another one of Dio's attacks.

Oh well, we still have to look forward to



And maybe we'll get a teaser for Part 4?

The quality was all over the place. Some high quality close ups but also a lot of potato faces. It also felt a bit rushed.

And I have to say it. But the yellow aura looks ugly and is overused. The flying part was ridiculous aswell.

Still decent, but I am kinda dissapointed.

Also, Jotaro doesn't know how to use his stand yet. In an earlier part it was said Hermit Purple can read minds. But Joseph didn't know about it, Dio did.

That time stop opening was glorious! Shame we probably won't get to see it in next week's episode though :-/.

So the cats out of the bag; Star Platinum has the ability to stop time as well. While I personally still don't like this revelation (particularly the way it's revealed to us), in its defence I will say that it's good that Dio still has a significant advantage over Jotaro in this fight. For the entire time Jotaro has Star Platinum and is aware of its ability to stop time, he never becomes as proficient with it as what Dio is with his version (this becomes more evident in next week's episode). For that fact alone, this isn't a complete asspull on Araki's part.

As for the entire debate of Dio having two stands vs The World having all of the Joestar stand abilities, I don't really care one way or the other. Both sides have merits and logical fallacies, so between the two I'll just stick with what Araki states. It's not worth over-analysing IMO.

Next week is the conclusion to the fight and the end of Jotaro's journey. Holding out hope for a DiU teaser too :-D.

This week on JoJo Friday; Jotaro vs DIO. That's it, I don't need to say anything else. What I thought of it?

Okay listen, I was physically and emotionally drained from just the updated opening, never mind the episode itself.

I'm actually glad
or I probably wouldn't have survived. Just...HOLY DIVER THAT WAS SO AMAZING

Dat OP too. Damn.

That episode was sexy. Jotaro really outwitted Dio, but Dio is just so evil... He'll stop at nothing. And well, he's Dio. Motherfucking sexy Dio. He even got a sexy upgrade at the end by sucking Joseph blood! By the way, Joseph seemed unaffected physically to Dio sucking his blood. Could this mean..?

How the hell was Jotaro flying? Why did Dio's leg get cut by glass? How did Jotaro just learn to move in stop time? He says that he wishes he had more time to test it but we never saw him use it before.

I didn't even watched the episode yet. I stopped just to comment about the GLORIOUS opening.

I wish that at least half of the adaptations of anime was this criative. They don't just adapt 100% of all the chapters, but do things like this opening and that endings. They put effort in everything.

I'm not judging that story per se because Stardust Crusaders isn't even on my top 5 of Jojos, but the adaptation is 10/10.

1. He was using Star Platinum to hit the side of the buildings in order to propel himself through the air.
2. I'd assume it was because he got thrown through a window. ( I read the manga a while ago, and while I do remember a lot about the final fight, I don't remember anything about glass being involved in this fight.)
3. The reason Jotaro can move while time has stopped is because Dio and Jotaro have similar stands.

I definitely agree, this anime is hands down the most entertaining anime of the season if not the year.

If they pull the last episode well enough, this might my anime of the year with Fate Stay Night Unlimited Bladeworks as my second.

jojo has been good fun for me, im conflicted to pick up the manga mainly cause im having such a fun time watching together with friends. its such a great blend of campy wtf material and stuff you can actually take seriously when push comes to shove, i do hope that part 4 is a more consistent experience for me since most of part 3's fights felt pretty tiresome tbh, part 4 is more slice of life which i fully welcome, so far characters have been a high point in this franchise and i welcome more time seeing them bro around outside of fights which i kind of wish this part had more of, but we will get to that when the time comes, now we wait for the glorious asskicking we will savor next week. Get fucked dio.

Propel himself from buildings? Him and Dio were literally flying through the air in the middle of the city changing their elevation. They were flying.

If the yellow aura isn't power than what the hell was it? And why was Jotaro having that aura in this episode and not in the previous episodes before this?

Jotaro didnt even touch any buildings when he went super saiyan, its an asspull but its a fun asspull, people trying to justify it only makes the holes appear even wider, they just take the fun out of it.

Just face it ad roll with it, part 3 has an asspull final fight much like dio's entire presence in this part is a huge confliction with part 1, the more you try to pull an explanation out of your ass to justify it the less the fun the series is.

I'm pretty sure that it was one hit that lead him to wherever he went.

It's not like he turned or anything.

The aura is just a visual they added for dramatic effect.
