| SSJ Koichi and his frieza/cell stand XD So much con stuff :( That sound attacks are so good with actual sounds :) |
 |
| I was expecting Josuke to save the day, but it was nice to see Koichi managed to take care of the situation by himself. The soundtrack was on point this episode, too. |
| 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... |
| one of my fav stands showed up finally. david production is doing a really good job, i don't remember these fights being this interesting. |
| Wow, Koichi went super saiyan and summoned Cell. Its ability seems really weird though. |
| Birth of Echoes, and the first time we see Koichi act like a badass. Not sure about how I feel about them removing the shrinking. |
 |
| Koichi is a fucking badass! |

| Wow Just wow I went into this episode disliking koichi. Like how I disliked iggy but pet shop changed my opinion of him. To me this was a rite of passage of why koichi is going to be a great character. Him winning with how he did gave me chills |
| DP did an amazing job as always. So many hot moms in JoJo.... |
| This was a mediocre episode. So far the season has been meh for me. Hope it really picks up and lives to the acclaim it is known for. Found both stands to be pretty lame ..but I'm sure reverb will prove itself to be more useful over time . |

In another episode, it is revealed that Koichi was born prematurely weighing only 2325 grams (5 lbs 2 oz), and was kept in intensive care for 7 days. yeah, that happens, my friend had premature birth, that was 24 weeks and now she is quite small compared to her family. i gotta to say Koichi is lucky that is not deaf |

| Nice, finally the tie for Koichi to shine, something I've been waiting for. I like how his stand can be deadly too, considering the abilities which don't seem to kill. I can't imagine if Koichi went DORARARARA too, the sounds it produced would be unberarable |

| SON OF A BEEEEEEEETCH Pretty nice adaptation. The Lock is a interesting stand but never fond his chapters to be that memorable, but animation and voice acting made it really fun. |
| >User since 2008 Please god help me quit this website. Such great community that doesn't even know how demographics work, AND gives """detailed"""" reviews after first episodes. |
| Great episode. Koichi was so bad ass. Finally get to see his Stand "Echoes". Very interesting ability. Attacking Tamami with Sound Effects. Really hated that bastard Tamami. His Stand "The Lock" seems really annoying to go up against. Koichi is hilarious when he over-reacts to things. Looks like Tamami is Koichi's personal assistant/slave now. LOL. |

| Like others have said, Koichi's Stand was pretty unique. (I wish I could write better posts for these discussions...) |
| The part with the mom was quite frustrating - how a shady-looking stranger could induce a mom to doubt her own son to such extent, but I'll just pretend that The Lock stand multiplies guilt to insane levels. Echoes seems like a pretty unique Stand. At first I thought it was a typically "deal damage" kind of Stand but using it as a kind of brainwash Stand is pretty out-of-the-box! |
 |
| OMG KOICHI BAD@SS!!!! |
| So this is what Cell looked like when he came out of his cicada shell. |
 |
| I still can't get over Koichi's stupid as hell character design. THAT NOSE! |
| Kobayashi is such a bastard he got what he deserved and Koichi' stand is pretty unique |
 |
| Koichi's SSJ aura looked even better than in the manga :) |
| Can't get enought oh JoJo, David Production you fuckers, amazing job as always. |
| Koichi's Stand reminded me of Hierophant Green :---D What a great episode, even though Koichi isn't my favorite character ever or anything. |
| ALRIGHT! Finally Koichi's stand shows up. The battle was so damn great. All hail David Production. <3 |
 |
| Love it so much, Koichi was so awesome this episode. *_* This fight really benefited from being animated, the sound effects were top notch and I like the song they played during the confrontation. So far it's a perfect adaptation! 10/10 |
 |
| Everything is great but I can't help but think how Echoes power won't translate well in anime form if David Production never animate those manga sound effect. It can't be the reason they animate those since Phantom Blood is for this power, right? right? Yeah, I doubt they planned that far. |

It can't be the reason they animate those since Phantom Blood is for this power, right? right? Yeah, I doubt they planned that far. The onomatopoeias were always a big part of JoJo culture; you can see how parodies always use the "ゴゴゴゴゴゴ", for example. There is an interview which the staff talk how they wanted to translate that to the anime and making them to pop up, just like in the manga, was the best way to achieve that. |
| Koichi's stand really is interesting, looking forward to seeing more of it. Nice to see him get some spotlight in this episode. He was badass and loved the moment when he told Kobayashi to bring him five hundred grand tomorrow. |
 |
| Koichi really steals. No dignity. |
| Anime was a mistake. Heil Manga. |
| Haha, thats my boy Koichi, this is why he is my fav of the main guys. I really like his stand ECHOES (Not Reverb thats just to avoid Copyright) even though its weak at first glance proberly used it becomes strong. Also like his SSJ hairstyle and him saying "i wont forgive you". Im also glad this was finished in one ep., for guys not reading the manga the stand of the week will be a pain to deal with. <Spoiler> |
| Tamami is not initially short in the comic. In that, he's just as tall as Josuke and only becomes short when humiliated & humbled as we see at the end of the episode here. |

| I can't get throught of the poor cat in the beginning of this episode..... :'( |

| Oh heck yeah. Koichi is totally awesome. |
| wow I just they didn't make Kobayashi tall at first like he was in the manga :c still a good episode tho |

I was under the impression that The Lock just caused unbearable discomfort, since Koichi and Okayasu didn't appear to suffer from more guilt when the lock manifested. |

Interesting something to note- Have any theories as to why they shrank him early? (I have not read the manga) I would guess that the producers wanted him to seem like a petty person early in the series (?) |
delaneysloane said: Interesting something to note- Have any theories as to why they shrank him early? Who knows? To be fair, they beautified Iggy early, too. And I don't mean the Oingo Boingo episode. He was given his later series look in the first Geb episode for the group photo.  |
| That evil, annoying little shit of a con man should have just been killed. Echoes/Reverb is an awesome Stand!! |
 |
| Funny you say that cause literally everyone I know thinks he's one. (much to my regret) In any case, the episode was pretty hilarious, and I think Yuki Kaji pulled off a great performance. |

| Finally Koichi's stand. That last line was the best "Dont ask me, I'm not smart." lmfao |
| Some-Stuffs version is finally out! http://www.some-stuffs.com/index.php?topic=114.0 Sorry it took forever to anyone that uses our subs. We had a rough weekend cause of final exams, but we should be back on track with episode 7! |

| Very funny episode, I loved the SSJ reference then I couldn't stop laughing when the "baby"-like Cell larva came out and showed off. 5/5 Why should people call this a rip-off? Toriyama himself insisted for Katsura to make the a SSJ out of the Mega Play-Boy in DNA². The Jojo's author worked in the same magazine, I wonder if this was coming this time from Araki or from Toriyama again. |
