 Part 5 spoilers, be warned |
| Abbacchio’s backstory being placed this early caught me off guard. But it’s quite a nice move to show why his stand ability is what it is. It’s not only because he used to be a police officer, but also kinda shows those past events still haunted him that he can’t help but replay them in his mind. Love the SFX for Moody Blues. Job well done again, DP! Only in JOJO, you point at something as if you were looking at your watch, lol. The soft machine battle may not be liked by a lot of ppl, but it’s one of my favorite battles in JOJO and what I love the most about it is how they solved the mystery step by step in the atmosphere of horror & their interactions during the battle and afterwards (which we’ll see in the next episode). The added scene of Buccellati recruiting Abbacchio into his team is very well handled. Abbacchio turning back to the darkness before putting down the bottle feels like a good bye to the past. And I like his helpless look in the rain. Not sure if it’s me being a manga reader from this part or what, every episodes so far feel so short that they all end in a blink. And for sure, this is another 5/5 episode! Oh, Six Bullets, really!? Lmfao |

| Abbacchio and Moody Blues looked badass this episode. I had read that the backstory of Abbacchio was meant for a later episode, it doesn't feel bad. I hope the animation quality stays like this all the way to the 39 episodes. The battles are becoming more creative than the ones in the previous parts. |

I love how Abbacchio hates Giorno so much that he pissed in his tea when they first met, refused to use his Stand in a life or death situation purely out of disdain towards him, refused to listen to Giorno's explanation until he threw himself into harm's way to prove that he was right, and then waited for him to seemingly die before bringing out his Stand.

They also said that the 2nd half of part 4 is better and oh well everything which wasn't kira or the motorcycle arc was crap. I don't know how to respond to this, but Part 4 was awesome. |

Nycro said: Jim_Heart said: I didn't read the manga.. But I think this episode is great.. And seeing that people say that this is one of the weakest Part 5 fights, just wow, I am become hyped now for the future fights.. This fights is better than majority of Part 3 dan Part 4 fights imho ... Honestly don't trust them too much. They also said that the 2nd half of part 4 is better and oh well everything which wasn't kira or the motorcycle arc was crap. The anime for Part 4 didn't adapt the second half as good as the first half. Out of everything JoJo that DavidPro has done, it's probably the least satisfactory For instance? All that Josuke went through in the second half & certain arcs of the first half builds into the final battle against Kira, but this is sadly left unclear in the anime all thanks to the rushed pacing by that point. The manga really did do it better, but Japan doesn't care all too much for Part 4, as it seems |

| This episode definitely felt like the fastest one so far because it was over so quick. Seeing Abbacchio's past as a cop who was faced with the harsh reality of society only to be persecuted and burdened with the loss of his partner at the very moment he strayed from the straight and narrow path was tragic. Good thing Bruno was there to show him the way and an opportunity to lead another life once again. Moodly Blues' ability doesn't look like it's suited for combat but it's definitely a must have for any crime scene investigator out there, let alone someone who works in the mafia. Just seeing it recreate scenes like that with the bizarre rewind sound effects was straight out from a sci-fi detective game and I love it. His stand also makes me think that it might represent his want to go back to that event and do things differently so he wouldn't have went through that low point in his life. Soft Machine's ability was pretty confusing at first but after giving it some time I suppose I understood how he deflated the second ship to envelop it over the first so he can hide underneath it. The Zucchini head got his head lopped off in a zippy lol. |

I think they did a great job with the second half of part 4, for example the episodes where they showed several of the stand battles as they went on at the same time was really cool. And I have no idea what you even mean, it should be obvious to anyone who saw the series that it was building up to the fight with Kira. |

| Moody Blues animated. Awesome. |
| I absolutely LOVE Abbacchio, and his backstory was handled perfectly. |

There are far too many anime-only people shrugging Part 4 off as complete filler, and even calling it worse than Part 3 for reasons such as this. The final chapter of the Transmission Tower arc was integral for foreshadowing Josuke exploiting his Crazy Diamond's powers with the dried blood mechanic used on Kira. It is there where he supposedly was hinted toward it. Part 4's my personal favorite - one of Araki's finest pieces of writing. I will not stand for all the bad-mouthing I've been seeing it get lately |

| Great episode! Though If I remember. Wasn't Abbacchio's past reveal a bit more later in the series? I already finished the manga so remember what happened to Abbacchio. It'll be an important piece later on! Can't wait for the next one! |
| hmmm Abachiko back story...damn the names are hard to pronounce |
 |
| Love the thought put into to the stands and how they interact. Abbacchio's especially. |

| Damn, I didn't expect Abbacchio to have that of a story. :S While I disliked him at first now I can say he might be actually a cool guy. Whole scene with Bruno recruiting him was awesome. His Stand has very interesting abilities. I loved the sound that was used for it. SFX for Moody Blues sounded simply fantastic. That trick with different yacht inside their yacht was... well... bizarre! xD |

| Thought it was weird they got a key for the first boat but the one they were on was #2. Guess this explains it. The trick itself was a bit of a stretch though. Like how did the guy know Bruno was gonna pick that exact ship? I guess if he was nearby he could've had enough time during the cut / offscreen to do so before they got on the ship. |
 |
| I always like how this show does backstories! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Pretty interesting backstory, from a cop to a gang-star, curious to see what the other guys backstories are. |
 |
| Well I must say the pacing on these episodes is incredible good! Really lovely if you ask me and quite the progression! |
 |
| I knew something was up when the key given to them was for yatch no.1 but they're on yatch no. 2 |
 |
| So there was two boat, it's awesome ! |
 |
| God Damn it all to hell... I couldn't figure any of this shit out. I would be dead rn. |
 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. |
| New member of the squad and his backstory in one episode. Abbacchio's stand is cool. |
  |
| I dont really get it but... there was 2 boats? |
 |
Amatniki said: I dont really get it but... there was 2 boats? ye the real ship was covered by a deflated version of an identical ship. And zucchero sorta hid between the two layers. |
| Abbacchio bloody moon sfx was beautiful as hell. Case closed. Abbacchio is a damn smartass for figuring out wher the enemy was. And Bucciriate for trusting in his teammates. The OST was just too good. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Abbacchio has the coolest stand, I swear. With every part the stands seem to be getting better and better. |
| Abbachio interesting backstory indeed! I am invested on this character already. More creativity as always ! |

| Guys what did they even mean by a ship was thinly veiled on another? Who did that? Who's power was it to uh merge the ships? I didn't get that at all |
| Abbacchio's backstory was quite tragic. At the very least, he has a group of friends that admire and respect him. Okay, but that was one tricky stand. Props to Abbacchio and Bruno. |
 |
| It was interesting to find out the past of Abbacchio, it seems that they will not get along quickly with Giorgio. |
| Buccellati has full team of Stand users from the start, that's gonna be easy. 5 minutes later. Bucellati on his own. |
