Not a beer, but a SODA.

In the manga it's clearly supposed to be a beer ("b... beer? How is he drinking a beer in there?"), and the way he's drinking it makes the suggestion obvious, although I admit I must have been too entranced with the episode to notice the can was changed here. If only they changed the contents of his smokes.


Yeah, maybe it could actually be cannabis or something, but god forbid beers or smokes making an appearance in my entertainment. Well, at least the discs will fix this.

Also, what the fuck is a lager soda?

The tarot cards simply reflect the characteristics of the cards on the stand user and therefore on his abilities. So that might be even considered a sort of foreshadowing.


So if it were to be used as a foreshadowing of stand abilities later on, wouldn't that be counter intuitive? Wouldn't it be better to leave it nameless or just obscured, especially if it'll be used to battle or kill?
I get that SP got it from Avdol but why everyone else? Why wouldn't the stand owner arbitrarily name them like Fred or any pseudonym? Were everybody just superstitious? Was there a fad of tarot cards that inspired stand owners at the time?

It's just that they keep mentioning it often, unlike the flashy named hamon moves in 1st and 2nd arc. I like these though, they used it sparingly. I got used to it from a lot of other shows as well.

lol, i know, I'm thinking of this way too much xD
I'm guessing this is a another Jojo thing that I need to accept

edit: thank you stranger below me. I don't even know if that would count as a spoiler, but I don't care. At least now I wouldn't need to worry about this gripe later on.

Yeah don't think too hard about this. It's also strange that in later parts somehow everyone knows that those abilities are called "Stands". It's like every Stand User in the whole world came together some day and decided to collectively call it that. It makes no sense. It also doesn't really matter.

Yeah, I said reflect but they are still pretty much vague, so there is no really need to worry about that, you won't predict the outcome of a battle and the abilities of a stand user in JoJo. Abdul is a fortune teller, so this already makes you think that there is no really deeper meaning behind the choice of tarot cards, except that little foreshadowing. Stands in Part 3 were called like that mainly for a mystic and gag purpose. You will be surprised later on because (not really a big spoiler, just an interesting info)

Maybe the enemy stands were not named by the users themselves, but by the one who gives them their orders, the old lady that seems like she´s the right hand of Dio. She kinda looks like a fortune teller herself, so it´d make sense.
But Dio himself seems like he´s also interested in this fate-bullshit, so maybe it was him who named the stands after the tarot-cards.

I have absolutely no idea how entertaining that particular fight was in the manga, but one thing is sure, I had a LOT of fun watching this week's episode.

I'll simply never get enough of the Jojo fabulous ridiculousness, and contrary to most people on the thread I actually enjoyed Jotaro's punchlines : it was so lame I couldn't help but laugh my ass off. He's still just a 17 year old who thinks he's too-cool-for-school after all, and I was glad the cheesiness of his one-liners coming straight from his favorite third-rate Hollywood action movies was there to remind us that.

I really liked this episode, a lot more than the previous ones. ヽ(゚Д゚)ノ
Some nice comedy.

The explanation behind the battles are missing (or very simple), I'm hoping that over-the-top clever ones from the previous season will come back. :/

Did they really censor is cigarette? I know he's underage and stuff, but they got away with it in the OVA. Still, worth it for Star Platinum punching a shark in the gut.

Of course they got away with it in the OVA. The OVA was... an OVA... as in not shown on TV...

The DVDs and BDs of this won't have it censored either...

that fake captain was bound to die.. anyone who tries to copy Joseph of predicting what the enemy is thinking or will say is bound to die. That's their own death flag.

that brat is voiced by Rie Kugimiya, no doubt about that.. and here's more, I'm sure she'll be the future wife of Jotaro because despite his middle aged man look, he's 17 right?. So we their age gap is not that big and we all know that these Joestars reproduce like rats.. hehehe

That girl looks nearly the same as that black guy that hung out with Joseph and that kid that went along with Jonathan when they were trying to find Dio. I feel like that character is an arch type for the Jojo's series because those three characters all play the same roles.

It was hilarious when Jotaro was saying his phrase and then he asked the Egyptian guy to say something so that it could be cooler when they were posing.

This series is slowly getting better because those first few episodes were really boring.

Finally starting to like Jotaro! I feel like this episode finally explored a bit more of how he acts and thinks beyond just "he's stoic and rude".

Also, loved when he had to get Avdol and Polnareff to riff off of him. It's moments like these that make me miss Speedwagon...

My man Jotaro. Giving no fucks about touching a girls chest. I like how the crew members disappear when its Stand time. lol

Nice trick by Jotaro to sniff out the Stand user.

Joseph has really lost his wits and strength just to make way for the rather bland MC Jotaro and due to age.

When is he gonna kick ass, Joseph at his prime was strong and resourceful compared to his grandfather and grandson.

It felt more natural for Joseph to figure out who was the stand user imo, that was his defining trait, wittiness and outsmarting the enemy.

In a straight up fight, Jonathan seemed to have the strongest willpower, Jotaro seems to be a genius stand user and strong raw power.

Holy Shit! Jotaro really hit the lottery with his Stand. and as i thought its growth is an A stat.
though i would have like it better if he was a bit more weaker since then as a result we would have seen him grow with every fight. You know, the standard shonen shit but with a suitable explanation.

But it was fun to see someone else try to pull's Joseph's shtick and utterly fail at it! XD

Why is it that there's always gonna be a kid that'll be dragged in every Jojo's adventure, from Jonathan to now, Jotaro. Not complaining here, just a curiosity. Well, this time it's a Lil bit more interesting seeing the kid was a reverse trap initially. Jotaro just feeling her breast like that was so damn funny! Considering he's still 17, and she's some yeas below him, Jojo won't get thrown to prison for that.

LMAO, the Jojo squad can think telepathically!

This Captain got tricked not once, not twice, but thrice! Absolute fool thinks he can defeat a JOJO!
