| Damn, Polpo is like Pablo living that in a cell. I wanna be him. Polpo's stand is one awesome killing machine, to assassinate a soul like that is pretty badass. Gio is so in trouble now, I wonder how is he gonna get out of that situation? That ended early as I was enjoying this episode. |

| Koichi really steals. NO DIGNITY. |

If he had actually held a grudge, he would have just blasted him with the pump and later claim it was an accident and that he didn't control the flow of water. He just accidently splashed his arms which happened to hold the lighter and that cannot be called a revenge. JoJo is full of "coincidences" likes this unless you can support the theory that the guy actually knew about Giorno's ordeal to join the mafia and how important was the lighter. He was just a minor character who died for being at the wrong place at the wrong time and this happens a lot in this series. He definitely didn't know about GioGio's mission, but being splashed with water isn't too nice. Being splashed by a car is a whole trope itself. It could've been a coincidense, sure, but at least for me it seemed like revenge. ESPECIALLY with how he talked about our actions in daily life having meaning, and "If you weren't careful you'd propably wear that bucket of water on your head". I think you put too much thought into this but oh well each to their own. |

| This is episode was so cool. |

Black Sabbath looks great and menacing. The direction of this part has been pretty solid thus far. Cannot wait next week Eh, I'd argue if he didn't deserve such an ending. We don't know about him that much, but what we do is that he was really vengeful. That splash of water was NOT an accident. Giorno was higher on the stairs, AND taller than him, no chance for him to drop it so high without it being deliberate. He propably wanted revenge for the fact that Giorno didn't help him few scenes before. Well, that revenge cost him dearly. There is literally no reason to believe that, especially since he not only seems to know Giorno by name but also immediately helps him with the lighter. |

| God I can't wait to meet the boys! I need my precious lil' beans next week or I'll die. Black Sabbath looks really cool animated, and all in all this episode was really good, like this whole part so far really. Since I love part 5 its gonna be hard for anything to make me dislike this part... |

PedroBV96 said: Red_Ranger_Wien said: Really? I haven't read the manga but it seems pretty obvious. The point is that people will fail to keep the flame lit. Then when they relight it Black Sabbath uses the arrow to try and make them stand users. If they get a stand then they can join the mafia. If the real purpose is to get a stand to join them, why they don't simply use the arrow first to see if he can get a stand, put him to test for a period of time doing some unimportant but related activities while keeping secretly a eye on him, and kill him if they discover his real intentions, because Bruno made clear that they kill the traitors. Thus my point about the lighter test being dumb. Because if the person isn't worthy, then Polpo has a dead body in his cell room that he has to dispose of somehow? His visitation privileges would be taken away if that became a recurring thing, and that's a detriment to the gang. |

His visitation privileges would be taken away if that became a recurring thing, and that's a detriment to the gang. Giorno already mentioned that Polpo is safer in prison than he is outside because of his body. The prison is functionally his hideout. There's no sense in giving up free government approved security for a plan that can be adjusted. If anything, the flaw of his plan is not being able to immediately know what an applicant's Stand is or if they even have one. |

Yeah, the guy was literally just doing his job. Nothing to it. Poor Grandpa Mario |
papsoshea said: The tension in this ep....all over a lighter lol man the ending sucks, jodeci was a bad choice. I believe that this is due to budget issues. |
 |
| I can't believe Koichi tried to steal from a 15 year old, no dignity |
| Read my comic pl0x :D Rockerella meets Merman |
| The episode went by so fast! sign of a job well done. Black Sabbath was perfect! super creepy and Polpo was just as disgusting as in the manga. Thumbs up! |
| They didn’t do the football scene justice! In the manga, it clearly shows the change of Buccellati’s facial expressions. When the football hit him on the back, he looked so serious that the boys got scared. But when he turned around and saw the kids, he had this gentle smile on his face and passed the ball back to them, which shows the softness & kindness of his nature. I doubt the anime-onlies would get all this information from what we have in this episode. They’re probably just like “oh, nice passing skill”. On the other hand, Black Sabbath looks awesome. He’s much cooler in purple. I was never a fan of his design when I read the manga. Nice change here in this episode~ |
 |
| I forgot that the old man was indeed based on Mario. I think there's other references as well in the later chapters. |
| They totally killed Old Man Mario. Never kill the memes, man, especially the JoJo memes. |
  |
| Polpo was essentially an Italian Jabba the Hutt who can shapeshift into a mattress for some reason. I would've had some questions on how people with his looks manage to exist but I remembered that Shigechi existed lol That lighter initiation was a really tense ordeal even for Giorno. I was lulled into not considering that that they would mind searching him for the lighter and how the officer at work might not be in Polpo's payroll. He got his hands fried and narrowly avoided every obstacle including Koichi who's trying to reclaim his passport (I never expected him to appear beyond that first episode too!) but that old man screwed both of them over by accidentally putting out the flame at the cost of his life. Black Sabbath's entrance really captured the horror vibes that come with such a terrifying Stand with the soul extraction and darker color palette and all that. It's fascinating that it has a Stand Arrow in its mouth too. Too bad the old guy wasn't compatible enough to survive that arrow. |
 |
| Wow that's so intense. I forgot this intensity that JoJo was always giving to you. |
| nice to see the gang and their dynamics....to see the past story like this was also cool |
 |
| Avdol would sure come in handy right now. Guanglai Kangyi strikes again |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Damn, Polpo is huuuge and disgusting at the same time, lol! I liked the idea of testing new potential members of the gang by giving them a lighter with a Stand activating each time it is relitted. |
| I had a feeling relighting the flame was gonna get someone killed. Seems this stand is likely the origin of the arrows from Part 4. |
 |
| These episodes go by so quickly! Polpo looks creepy af |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| I wonder how the heck that bed Polpo got caught, I knew the lighter was sketchy to think Polpo's stand was litteraly following it, must have some great range. |
 |
| Quite awesome episode I must say! Really liked that ending. Let's see what's next. |
 |
| I can tell, the stands in this season of jojo are going to be even more ridiculous than the previous ones. Also, about that test, I think it's not really about keeping the light on, it's more of being honest. Like if you managed to get the light off then just tell him the truth. But Idk |
 |
| So much tense with the light, it's so awesome |
 |
| enjoyed the battle and the golden wind theme |
 |
| IT would actually be good if he gets hit by the arrow again, it would help bring out more abilities. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| I don't really like Koichi's part 5 style... :( |
 |
| Well, that's Polpo. |
 |
| oh god I just heard the ed... wtf |
 |
| That's one hell of a weird test. Well, he managed to sneak it out with changing it into a flower. Koichi came back again for his passport. Polpo reminds me of the fat version of Dio LOL. Polpo's stand is here, seems like he can attack souls. Giorno is in danger. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Got me into the show im hooked lets see what happens next But please do not be shit the next episode lets continue the amazing episode streak |
 |
| Oh my god, the tension and fear are all there ! I loved the creativity with Giornos Gold Experience stand so far ! |

| everytime i saw polpo i cringed, hes so- foul |
| Polpo is giving me Penguin vibes lmao Koichi found his passport!! Good for Koichi, however because of him, Giorno's lighter was hit by the water, and the old man was killed after trying to help. Well, Rest In Peace old men. |
