Like always, very good sound design, voice acting and soundtrack.
The animation seemed a little weird, but it doesn't bother me.
Now... oh my f*cking god... THAT OPENING AND THAT ENDING, WTFFF
I really liked the opening, but that ending..... I have no words... it's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. I've been listening to that song for about 3 hours. This is like a new addiction, or a mental problem idk
We were all waiting for Gangsta's Paradise, but for me Modern Crusaders is so much better.
Now about the op. It had so many easter eggs it drove me crazy. So many of the chapter covers where referenced in it. Even Doppio and Trish's Stand.
David Production is on fire while making this anime.

Quite neat. I was expecting this to be the arc they skimp out on to make sure the more important stuff's covered with the quality it deserves, but even then this was quite a good ep. Loved how well the tension was built all the way through it and the way they animated Talking Head's effects on Narancia. Great OST too. Also god damn, that OP. I can already tell it'll be my favourite in the series by the time the show ends. It feels so hype and climatic, reminds me a lot of End of The World but with a better tune. Also the ED is perfect now, funky but cool at the same time, it does a great job of keeping you pumped for the next episode.

The part at the end with the arrow is a pretty massive spoiler if you have seen part 4 and remember how it was used there, anime only watchers that can connect the dots can probably guess what the final arc of the show will be about. The rest is not really that important, just a couple of new characters and unfinished bits that will probably get animated once we see Diavolo's face.

Chapter was good, but like someone said earlier, compared to the rest of the fights in this part, it's not that great. Just one more week and then we get to the real good stuff again.

I wanna see a Jotaro and the boss facing off against one another.

Boss: "I can see into the future."

Jotaro: "Huuh!?! Tell me what you see."

Boss: "Oh shi..."

I miss Fighting Gold. The new OP doesn’t impress me much.

There’s a drop in the animation quality in this episode. Probably because this fight isn’t that important as compared to future fights. The best part of this episode is Mista and Narancia kicking a random civilian before Abbacchio joins in lol. Trish gave the gang an idea on where to go to after leaving Venezia.

I just hope the gang (sans Giorno) were just pretending not to notice Naracia’s obviously odd behaviour to not tip off the enemy. Sure, Narancia acts like a goofball most of the time but once he started to contradict himself multiple times, it’s telling that he’s being manipulated by an enemy Stand.

I didn’t expect to hear Kenjiro Tsuda as one of the boss’ elite guards. I would’ve expected him to voice a major character since this character is probably going to get killed off in a couple of episodes. Quite a shame.

David Productions has reused voice actors from previous minor JJBA villains for major characters, so I wouldn't be surprised if we get to hear his voice again in future parts. I personally hope we'd have Hayami Sho who voiced Vanilla Ice in Part 3 voice Pucci in part 6.

I'm glad it's been a long time since I've read the manga because I can await cluelessly for the climax of each arc once again. Although the Talking Heads arc isn't a super exciting one in terms of battle action, I love how the feelings I had reading it before remained the same, if not stronger.

These feelings were: 1) The frustration of watching Narancia trying to warn his friends about the incoming danger, with little to no success. These "Boy Who Cried Wolf" moments always get to me, so TENSE!

2) The impression that Squalo and Tiziano left on me, especially Tiziano with his simple but unique character design amongst all of the Jojo cast we've seen, his dark skin and great voice by Kenjiro Tsuda adding so much to the mysterious nature he presents.

Also I like this presentation of villains that act together and complement each other's abilities (Hol Horse/Boingo, Killer Queen/Stray Cat, Pesci/Prosciutto), especially when the Stands are not meant for direct confrontation.

Funny thing that when I read this arc, perhaps due to rushing a little, I didn't see Squalo and Tiziano as a couple so much as I interpret their relationship now. Better than a villain duo is a villain duo in love :)

This episode was so off to watch especially considering the consistent quality/pacing of the previous half. Normally stiff or bad animation doesn't bother me but I guess its more testament to how awesome the anime was so far. Hopefully its just a little dip before the hype fights.

I liked both the OP and ED but the OP is definitely no Fighting Gold. Not only do I feel the songs a bit weaker but the visuals itself has less style.

Not a fan of the new OP, or all the massive spoilers that are included in it. I guess only manga-readers would notice them though

Talking Heads is my least favourite Stand fight in the manga so this is one of the weaker arcs.

Finally, we got the new opening song!

Episode is cool. They're adapting chapters 85+ and beyond.

It's also good the english version came out faster and that's real nice.

Next thing I'll say they did an amazing job with shark soup and talking head arc.

Pretty cool ep. I kind of felt bad for Narancia not for only being unable to actually tell his group the situation but for also having his group taking so long to figure out that something is actually wrong lol.

im very excited for the next episode.

I don't really see why everyone said the animation was awful this episode. The character animation on Narancia and Crash's animation looked great. Though too many characters were unacceptably off-model. Guess we're going to have to rely on Blu-Rays again like with part 4

Seriously, what's with the spoiler-ish OP, this is the worst case yet. It's also really meh. The ED is better, at least it fits nicely with the visuals.


As for the episode itself, while the community doesn't like this fight, it's one of the most terrifying ones personally. One think I thought of this time around though is why didn't Narancia simply spell out the enemy's ability with bullets on the wall? Even Mista is leagues ahead of him in terms of IQ.

This is actually a creepy episode but I could not help but laughed seeing Narancia this episode, they ganged up at random person is really hilarious ...

The only out-right spoiler without context in the OP is the Trish stand reveal. Everything else you need context. You're good.

Jesus, that new OP is spoilery as fuck, and not in the usual Jojo way were it's vague without context. For the most part I think it's safe, except for the obvious one with Trish, but it's bordering on Sono Chi no Sadame levels. Glad they were able to keep a certain something hidden at least.

Episode didn't look all that stellar, but I'm very pleased with how the beating up a stranger and Narancia pissing scenes were adapted.

Not gonna lie, both OPs of part 5 are my least favorite ones among the franchise. Visual wise, aside from the heavy spoilers, the 2nd OP could have been directed in a better way. Also I wonder why they didn't handle it the way they did the DiU OP to add the spoilery contents as the plot advances. That being said, I like some of the visuals that are references to Araki's illustrations.
The ED choice is not bad. Did sound a bit familiar as I listened to some of Enigma's songs after finishing watching DiU. The name "Modern Crusaders" fits quite well.

Love the scene where the trio kicked the guy, messed up his white suit with blood and were only concerned about how to remove the stain of wine.
Some comment on YT is also hilarious. "Abbacchio: Not drunk enough for this sh*t."
Kinda sad that they cut out the hilarious sentences that Talking Head made Narancia write on his arm.

Tsuda-san's Tiziano is a pleasant surprise. His performance in this ep with the sexy voice sure didn't disappoint. I like the couple a lot when reading the manga. Will explain more reasons in the thread of next ep.

Nice OP and ED. Though too much reuse scenes from past episodes. Guess they didn't want to spoil the whole fights despite the first few seconds is the biggest spoiler if you already finished the manga.

Great episode! I remember how Narancia was desperate to tell the team how the enemy stand works, but he can't control his voice.

Can't wait for the next one!

After the very tense fights of Team Bucciarati against La Squadra and King Crimson, the fight with Clash and Talking Head was kind of a step down animation-wise so far but it can only mean that they're building up the budget for the more important scenes later on and that's pretty nice.

Considering how grave the situation they are in, it really is pretty bizarre to watch them act so relaxed and oblivious towards the enemy's presence save for Giorno at the very end of the episode. I guess that whatever happened to Bruno must have dulled some senses of his because he's far too chill realistically speaking.
Narancia's having a really hard time trying to convey the fact that there's an enemy that can get them anywhere with the slightest presence of water and even writing it out with Mista's throat pen wouldn't work because Talking Head can even control the other parts of his body other than the mouth. Clash got a big chomp out of Giorno and it's not good.

I got really used to Fighting Gold and I kinda still prefer it but Traitor's Requiem is actually pretty good too once I listened to it on repeat to familiarize myself with it. I never expected there to be a new ED but Modern Crusaders turned out to be an absolute banger that I can't stop repeating and singing along to. Thanks, Enigma!

Abbacchio needs wine before kicking the shit out of someone.

Can the tongue stand control the rest of the body or just the tongue? What forced Narancia to point away from the shark in the water and towards the toilet?

jesus christ i wanted to bash my head in during this episode. it never ceases to amaze me how relaxed and dumb they get during crucial moments, especially when they know they should be looking out for strange activities

how in the world did they not notice that Narancia was acting so weirdly? i kept expecting Giorno to speak up because he seems to be the most perceptive but it took him so long. just from Narancia's facial alone they could have figured out what he was actually thinking. even though Narancia is supposed to be the dumbest one in the group, it didn't seem like it in this episode (although he could have just said the opposite of the things he was saying...but i'll give him a pass on that)


not a fan of the new opening, doesn't quite give off the "Jojo vibes". the new ending is pretty good, although i'll miss the old one dearly
