The Jojo's Bizarre Threadventure - I get THAT reference

With how convoluted defeating the villain gets in later arcs, the way Dio dies is almost quaint.

It's interesting that you all mention the villain defeats in the different parts. I was thinking about that and had come up with the theory/conclusion that every JoJo except for Jonathan had to have a Deus Ex Machina occur in order to defeat their final villain.

Do you mean Dio in Phantom Blood or Stardust Crusaders?

I'm a few episodes into Diamond is Unbreakable, far enough to see a thug get murdered by a stand and then left on some power lines.

In this small town setting.


Soooooo, how much more does Persona 4 pull from this arc?

The wild thing is this is the closest the show comes to a hangout show. And when it leans into it, it's weirdness becomes even more delightful. God, I can't wait to talk about Tonio and Mikitaka.
EDIT: Oh, and Shigechi. Yeah, this show has a Ralph Wiggum.

Further along in Part 4 and the opening has changed rather early in the arc, way before the half-way point. It's a shame because I definitely prefer the vibes of the first opening. At least we still have the Savage Garden ending.

Oh and apparently there's a serial killer on the lose. In this small town setting, where a thug got murdered and left on some power lines.

Seriously, were people making this connection when Persona 4 came out and I just never picked up on it because I didn't Jojo?

Anyway, I was introduced to Shigechi and he was around just long enough for me to be utterly shocked when he is exploded rather violently by the killer. And THEN we see him heading to the afterlife, still exploding. Seriously what the hell?!

I like intro 2 but the third intro is probably the all time best Jojo intro. LET THE VOICE OF LOVE TAKE YOU HIGHER!

I love Shigechi's initial arc. I love that Jojo allows itself to do a story about characters deciding to use their superpowers to cheat the lottery for profit. Despite the fact that it turns into a fight, the stakes are not that high considering people are constantly trying to kill these guys. It gets even better in one of the last arcs that is when the show decides to show how really weird it can get by a character meeting another in a way that should blow his fucking mind and instead turns it into a "get rich quick scheme".
