[up][up][up]It didn't' help that the next episode previews outright spoiled that Vegeta's sacrifice was a Senseless Sacrifice and Buu returned anyway.

Off-Topic, but tell me.

Did Game Freak Inc. really nerfed the move "Self-Destruct?"

Yep, I'm still here.

Here comes Jotaro and his harem of fan girls.

Jotaro and Holly have to be one of the oddest mother-son pairs in Shonen history.

[up][up] Yes...? But which Generation are we talking about here?

For all the talk I hear about how great Jotaro is, I'm so far not into him.

You are telling me.

[up]

This is his teenage years. He's a little more tolerable when he's an adult.

You'll see later on that Jotaro does love his mother, he's just...terrible at expressing emotions.

[up][up] Real talk, he doesn't improve until after this part where he's in a supporting and mentor role. He's kind of whatever as a protagonist.

Personally Jotaro is actually one of my least favorite jojos

Part 3 Jotaro, that is. He's much more better character wise in later parts

[up][up][up] Really terrible.

This is also why his relationship with his own kid isn't all that great starting out.

[up] And yet, Japan can't seem to get enough of him. That, and Stardust Crusaders as a whole.

[up][up][up] See, I'd agree but he's like that as an adult too and it's one of the main reasons him and Joylne had a falling out

He's a deconstruction of his character archetype.

I love how that rise up near the end of the OP resembles the spiral staircase descent at the end of the Phantom Blood OP.

And for fun, here's a neat fandub of the op into English.

I have a message from another time...

They always show the full opening for every jojo part at least one. Shame most of the time the cut op is terrible

Stand Proud is a pretty good opening, but I like the 2nd Stardust Crusaders opening better.

I think that my favorite thing about Vegeta's Senseless Sacrifice is that Piccolo point-blank tells him that he won't be redeemed even in death — but he sacrifices himself anyway.

That one girl calling the other girl "No-boobs" made me laugh far too much.

Why you creepin', Kakyoin?

Do not obey in advance.

I can relate to Jotaro here. Having girls fawn over you is a fucking pain.

That painting ability is really cool! I'm curious of the coming fight.

...Who is DIO talking to?

[up][up][up][up] Not that you would know that, HEYOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Also, to Jotaro's credit, he does realize that he's kind of a dick and tries to be a better father to his daughter in a new timeline.... long story.

I know it's just a stylistic convention to show a character's thoughts, but I love the idea that Dio just wanders around his mansion in the dark giving speeches to nobody.

I'd like to be the first man on the moon.

I see that Stands really have replaced Harom.

Rare to see an Anime character spout hatred on Japan/Nihon.

Heard most Japanese food is terrible.

Yep, I'm still here.
