That run... Hol Horse's a Joestar!? Naw, just kidding. The fight against the Hanged man was really interesting, and really brings back the excitement that Part 2 had in its battles.

I'm against violence against kids but if I were in Polnareff's position, I'd break that kid's neck. I don't want to die yet! Stupid brat kept butting his nose in adult matters.

When Centerfold died.. it felt so freaking good I think I wet myself.

I wanted Hol Horse to die.. he killed Avdol, man.. Though this journey is all about finding Dio, who can say for sure that that bastard won't come back? tsk..

What's that? creepy shit got itself attached to Joseph.

it was odd how the people who wanted Polnareff's money didn't react when he was slashed open and his blood flew all over the place. Some of that blood was probably on them and they didn't even notice.

That thing on Joseph's arm reminds me of ACDC.

Wasn't too particularly keen on Avdol. He helped the plot to get going, but he wasn't a memorable character for me.
I'm curious to what that lady's deal is. Is her blood made out of an organism like those Dio brain parasites? Seems like it.

Can't believe Abdul is really dead.

That scene with the kid was hilarious.

These two dudes are getting sliced up repeatedly and the money beggars don't notice it. lol

I just can't wrap my head around stuff like this, no matter how much I see it. Every part is a mix of non-stop fighting/Stand encounters (not all are necessarily physical fights). Every part is a nearly 100% linear quest to defeat the main villain and/or accomplish a goal while in the mean time vanquishing Stand users in the way. (Or simply enemies in the first two parts, but Araki seemed to be driving at Stand battles in Battle Tendency with the whacky Pillar Men abilities).

If you were fatigued by SC but not other parts, it was not due to the formula, all parts have the exact same formula. However, that is not to say preferring other parts would be condemnable, it's just a matter of taste, not some kind of objective judgement. It ultimately comes down to how much the reader enjoys the cast, setting, and presentation of action. Plot is pretty much irrelevant in Jojo outside establishing a direction and venue. It's entirely structured around fights and Araki just formulates a general point A to B which is usually scrapped at least a few times along the way to facilitate the fights.

In other words maybe SC dragged for some and that's fine, but saying it's because of how the plot is oriented around fights while the entire franchise is based on that isn't the best way of putting it.[/spoiler]

Again difference of opinion. I'll explain to further support why I feel that way.

I have to disagree with the "all JoJo is a linear quest to stop the villain, including plot and formula" argument, as that's the most applicable to Parts 1-3. Here's why (NOTE: Broad spoilers of the entire series are down below, new viewers should AVOID reading):


As for your points about the enjoyment of a given series being linked to how much you enjoy the cast, setting, and the presentation of action, I do agree 100%. It is necessary for any series to have a strong combination of all of these to become enjoyable. While I felt that SC struggled with that initially, it does get better as the series goes on and while I don't like Part 3 as much as the other Parts in JoJo, I still do like it. Being able to criticise what you do and don't like is an important quality to possess.

A lot of your opinions on the various parts I agree with completely. Also one thing Phantom Blood has over Stardust Crusaders is its tighter pacing due to being shorter.
Finally the reason why I like part five more then part 3 or 1 is its cast of characters it has the slow pacing of part 3, but I can forgive it that do to its better (in my opinion anyways) overall cast.

Sheesh. They're quite pushy when it comes to money.

Centerfold died a fitting death. He was such a prick.

I guess it's 100% RIP for Avdol... Good thing Polnareff avenged the two

Even though he prefers to be #2, Hol Horse was a #1 pussy *^*

Le biatch must be very formidable, pinning Pol Pol-kun for a minute and infecting Joseph with alien AIDS.

That Indian lady needed a good backhand. I can't believe they let him go. Still a decent episode. I haven't read the manga, so I wonder if Anne is going to appear (probably kidnapped). The fact that they showed her sleeping in the train a few episodes ago says they aren't done with her character yet

And what did that girl to Joseph?

Oh, fuck that royal bitch. They should've killed her while they had the chance.

It was a satisfying revenge against the hanged man. His stand was pretty awesome, but his actual person was no more than a snivelling coward. Next episode, that disgusting empress lady will probably the "villain of the week". The #2 guy was not all evil, but I look forward to his eventual death. It is still a shame that Avdol died!

looks like my predictions are going wrong left, right and center. i'll try to hold them on making any new ones now... :P
one thing though, why didn't Polnareff or Kakyoin actually target Geil himself when he was taunting them? His Stand may be untouchable but he sure as hell wasn't. The fight should've been over as soon as they found his physical body.

Can't really get myself to hate Hol Horse since he's just a mercenary taking out a target for money, not to mention it was ultimately Polnareff's fault for acting on his own and going into the fight without knowing their abilities. Different from J.Geil who murdered and raped people for the hell of it so that piece of shit definitely had it coming.

Wow, Polnareff's revenge scene was so satisfying. I don't get to see those kind of scenes that much. Also, I liked how the villains were dishonorable, and acted uncool once they knew they had no chance (especially J. Geil). As if it's a foil to Polnareff's more honorable behaviour (as shown in a previous episode with his fight with Abdul).

Just wrapped up a 7 episode mini-marathon.

I have to say that, despite knowing in advance that this would be taking a monster-of-the-week format, it gets rather fatiguing. A lot of the stands have been pretty cool, though.

RIP Abdul. I forget that Jojo's Bizarre Adventure isn't afraid to kill the heroes every now and then. It's a shame it's so early for Abdul, but alas, a lesson had to be learned. A real tragedy.

Good that Polnareff learned his lesson and got his revenge over Mr. Centerfold. Avdol shares huge part of Polnareff's change, and of course Kakyoin who saved the day by aiding Polnareff.

Last scene was both bizarre and creepy. Sweet. ;)

OHHHHH YEAAHHH!H!!!!! That's how you do it! Combo teamwork between Polnareff and Kakyouin allowed them to win and utterly DESTROY the ugly ass Hanged Man and the ugly ass user! Sliced torso, sliced face, countless holes and getting impaled from the mouth all the way to his ass! Mmm mmm what a satisfying victory!

Hol Horse is no match, that's true, especially against Jojo who can probably tank a couple of hundreds of bullets. But ok, the Indian Woman is definitely the Empress.

The way fights play out in this part, where everyone is talking or standing aside commentating instead of taking actual action is very annoying. J Geil could have killed Polnareff a couple of times but instead he was just there standing and listening to him ranting...

Cool touch with J Geil's death in the Hanged Man position on that fence. But it is just so tiresome to get through these initial fights in Part 3.
