Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

Araki from what I have heard has a general baseline for the story of the specific Part he is writing, but apart from that baseline, he goes by the seat of his pants. So in the case of the possible Josuke getting sent back in time plotpoint, Araki either forgot or changed his mind.

Heck in Part 5, a character named Fugo who left the group was supposed to return as an enemy, but Araki changed his mind due to being depressed over a falling out with a friend, and he felt that idea was too soon and far too dark at that time.

I thought Fugo had been written out because Araki had realized Purple Haze was too OP. Or are you saying that he planned to bring him back?

He had Fugo leave because he was too OP, but then had the idea to bring him back as an enemy. However he had that falling out with that friend, and felt that the idea was too depressing and too soon.

Dialogue in All Star Battle reflects this, too.

God-darn.

Every time I see this opening I just get so euphoric. I'm so glad this anime was made.

I just wish he didn't say "So no chi no sadame" with the rest of the lyrics in English. It's so distracting.

Have some Jojo Disney song parodies:

Oldies but goodies.

DIU episode 17 (whoops! Skipped an ep somehow).

Damn. Creepy ass episode. Kinda funny how Josuke points out there's no way they'd just run into the killer like that...and then they promptly do just that. Now I'm wondering if Kira already has his stand or not.

Also, DIU episode 16 (which I mistakenly skipped over).

Fuck, Bug Ear has one of the more horrific stand powers I'll say. He'd have been terrifying no matter what part he appeared in.

Random thought: Were Rohan and Koichi able to see Reimi because they were Stand users, or due to her connection to Rohan? I do like how her existence expands the universe: we already know about Vampires and Zombies, and now we have Ghosts.

They're able to see Reimi because supernatural phenomena. It has nothing to do with Stands.

I could have sworn there was a line somewhere about how stand users can see ghosts because stands are also spiritual or something.

I don't recall any such thing. That wasn't particularly clarified in the Stardust Crusaders finale, where it could've also come up.

And then in part 5 they spend half their time teaming with a zombie, and most of them never notice, so.... who knows?

that was mainly because the zombie's decomposing body was delayed somewhat. that and the zombie in question was super hardcore

Bruno was literally too badass to die until someone else died in his body.

Well, uh... now we know why Part 4 didn't have CG openings.

DIU episode 14:

Shigechi appears and greed comes with him.

Nah, greed was imparted upon him by Josuke and Okuyasu, they're bad influences.

I mean Okuyasu has cash symbols all over his clothes. You kinda know what you're getting into with him from the outset.

It's funny that, of the three, he's the most responsible with his money.

That's why he wears all those symbols, of course, to remind him to be responsible with his money. Josuke does something similar to make sure he's careful with his collection of human hearts.

Ah. So does Fugo simply enjoy displaying his fondness for swiss cheese?

Don't be ridiculous. He's clearly dressing inconspicuously to blend in and nothing more.

Truly, he dresses as a normal citizen of their hometown would.

More seriously:
Several characters in Part 4 have accessories that suggest their Stand or their power. Okuyasu seems like he's actually a subversion to this. While his brother's accessories suggest both his stand power and the brothers' name pun, Okuyasu's use of currency symbols only suggests the brother's name pun.

DIU episode 19:

Shigechi, that attitude is gonna get you killed....wait...

Matthew Mercer is very good at playing Jotaro. Grant George makes a good Steely Dan, too.
