Looking foward to the next Jojo. Sugita's voice is awesome for over-the-top characters.

HOLY SHIT @ this episode. Wow, and Dio is back also in a twisted way as again, not that I'm surprised or anything. You will be missed Jojo. You will be missed.

Good episode, I kinda buy the bizarre friendship thing, the south american setting sounds interesting if that's where they're going.

As for this arc overall, it was OK, the dialogue is possibly the lamest, most cheesy one yet, and just like magi, this feels rushed as f*** so most scenes feel like meh

I'd give the first arc a 6/10

I believed till the very end that something would happen so that Jonathan would survive ...but ...no... The main character just died like that!! what a shock, but the episode was totally awesome

besides that was the cutest romance scene i've seen in a long time!

The style of Phantom Blood is a bit too old for me, it's adapted from a 1987 series, after all, but ep. 9 is so touching...
7/10 for part 1.

Part 1 is generally regarded as the worst of the 8 parts.You'll probably end up rating Part 2 a little higher :)

Boooo why'd they have to kill hm off like that. After all he went through to beat a fully powered Dio he got beat by Dio's severed head?!?! Lame. Plus I bet Dio's still alive somehow. Dio shouldn't be so freaking hard to kill! What happend to the days where decapitation was a sure fire kill? He sholdn't have survived Jojo nearly cutting him completely in half. Shouldn't that count as destroying the brain?

I wish the author let Jojo live, but they could have at least given him a better death.

How Jonathan died is one of the few things that I liked in what I thought was a very weak starting arc.

^ Agree.
Also, well. The fact that Dio is hard to kill somehow shows how much he's a nemesis to the Joestar family.

Ya I just watched episode 10 and he refers to her as granny Erina. Didn't know she was pregnant at the time. My bad.

Well, that was one hell of an honeymoon :P
JOJOOOOOOOO!!!! :(

But let's not worry, he will come back, in an even more epic way because his seiyu will be one of the best evar : Tomokazu Sugita!! (Gintoki :3 )

This show really like to make the character describe each scene in the most detailed way possible xD

R.I.P. Jonathan, I'm sure your legacy will find its way.

Dio is dead (again). Or is he? On the screen they said that Jonathan was dead, but they never mentionned Dio being dead. Maybe he survived somehow by hiding underwater during the day and travelling during the night? :P
By the way, using his hair to escape an attack was hilarious.

Whaaaat?! Did Joestar just really die?!
What is even going on? Wasn't he the main character?
This is crazy!

This was a good episode, too. Some good character moments, for sure...
Even though, I suppose there's a lot of suspension of disbelief that has to be applied to really enjoy this series. I guess it's best not to think too deeply about all of the impossible, illogical bullshit that happens, and just enjoy the series for it's craziness.

What a ride this has been. I'm looking forward to the rest since everyone keeps on saying its even better.

Was Erina pregnant at the time of Jonathan's death? She mentioned the life inside of her so I'm presuming she's not referring to the kid she's carrying in her arms.

Yes. So there were technically three survivors: Erina, the child she was pregnant with, and the child she picked up.

I can't believe that I didn't start this series sooner. It is just so god damn GAR. Epic conclusion to this arc. And still with what little screen time Erina gets, she always seems to shine.

There's some good stuff in the show, but overall it's poorly written. Yeah yeah, I get it it's supposed to be that way. And it is pretty funny at times because of it. But when it comes down to it these first 9 episodes were just Defeat Dio, Dio comes back, repeat. It's a lazily written story. But the thing I love about it is the shifting colours they did a great job with that.

Even though it was spoiled for me, I still really liked how this episode played out. It was really touching with Jojo's final moment with Erina, and the teaser at the end...
