----------------------------------------
And here Kakyoin saves the day and slaps Pol Pol-kun.
This fight was one of my favorites in the whole SC and they really adapted it faithfully, and with such nice animations it was pure bliss.

Hanged Man's ability is fucking awesome btw.
J.Geil is too cute for me.



Why is Kakyoin so sexy?

The musique was so good in this episode. This was epic and the end of fight was so good. Best episode so far in SC for now. There will be more epic episode now.

They skipped the opening, probably because this is a double episode.
The fight scenes itself were well-handled this episode as well, but I expected a better voice for J. Geil. Hol Horse running away was classy, though.

Next time:

And the car flipped~

Good episode with The Hangman. I like how the OST was coordinated with some of the more tense scenes. Polnareff's resolve was awesome. I didn't doubt him at all. J. Geil's true appearance was hideous, kinda like how I remembered from the manga. What a psycho. But yeah, good episode, he got what he deserved.

Ah cliffhanger...

How do manly men make up? Elbowing each other.

Loving that OST though :D The way they animated Hanged Man moving from one reflection to the other was so awesome.

That was quite possibly one of the best fight scenes I've ever seen in anime, possibly anything. Hanged Man is an awesome Stand, even if J. Geil creeps the heck out of me.

Since this was a Shonen Jump title, I really didn't expect Polnareff to turn him into a pin cushion, but I'm glad they did. It made a lot more sense to do it that way. Plus he got some character development that way!

I hear the next episode is awesome, I don't know how it will top this one though!

So Avdol is really dead :'( I thought it was too soon for a main character to go, but oh well he will be missed.

What a great fight though. I hope they will meet with Hol Horse again to completely avenge Avdol.

Kakyoin had a few QUALITY moments in this episode.

Also I was hoping they'd use the comeback music from the Devil fight, when Polnareff screwed the doll from under the bed.

Oh well, nice episode regardless, and very well adapted. Hol Horse's Secret Family Technique was twice as hilarious as I remember it.

"Centerfold" is the name of the biggest hit that the J. Geils Band ever had so there is a relationship there between both names. Now if using it as the guys name, was something that Crunchy came up with as or if it's something from the manga itself, that I do not know.

Copyrights are shit, and they probably didn't want to risk. Therefore they called him Centerfold (a popular song of J. Geils Band), just like BandaiNamco did in ASB.

Btw, these alternative names were chosen by Araki in person.

So wait, Abdul is really dead?! That's gonna make the opening and ending a lot more awkward now...

AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN TOO LATE JOTARO?! You could have easily got Hol Horse before he got on his horse! Star Finger n shit! Ah well whatever, HH can't escape his death sentence forever, and he is pretty funny so I don't mind him living a little longer.

Also ew at the end there, looks like Joseph has a case of the herps.

Kakyoin's way of making up with Polnareff was way manlier than a mere handshake; with tears in his eyes.

Really liked how Polnareff figured out Hanged Man's ability and beat him in his own game. Way to go!
Kakyoin reminding Polnareff to say the appropriate line when taking revenge was awesomely funny!

Hol Horse is such a coward.. His epicness from previous episode vanished just like that. Oh well..

What a cliffhanger that was! Joseph is in for some tough trouble.

Great episode. Too bad, Avdol is no more.. Magician's Red was an awesome Stand.

Dat elbow Kakyoin gave for making up gotta hurt XD

Loved the fight. Polnareff was BA! Loved how he defeated Centerfold. That bastard made me cringe from how much of an ass he is. What a loser. His death was so satisfying :D Props to Polnareff ^^

And man does Joseph like getting things implanted on him with what happened at the end there XD That bitch is HOT though. Seems like she's the one using Hol Horse lol

And Avdol had a funeral XD For some reason I still think he isn't dead but it would be hilarious if he was buried alive lol

What a underwhelming death. I understand people die in this franchise but man, that death had absolutely no impact.

Can't wait til they actually get to Dio, all these villains this season have been pretty terrible. Guess they went with quantity instead of quality.

This fight is already better than all of the battles in Phantom Blood, and quite a few of the battles in Battle Tendency.

Although, it was much better in the manga.

As I thought, Hol Horse is completely spineless without his usual partner.

Always love the 'aha' moment when they figure out the weakness of a Stand.

Oh shit, now it's time for the famous talking blood drop stand! Nah, just kidding, I don't know a shit about it :P
Wouldn't have thought that the woman was a stand user...

They shouldn't have let the guy flee. After all, he said it himself, he shine when he's associated with someone. Now, he only have to find a knew partner...

I guess we were all waiting for this, Polnareff revenge >=)
The guy was even uglier than I would have thought. Way to die like a pussy, that fucker.

Best episode in Jojo. What will happen to Hanged Man's Stand if it's in someone eyes and the eyes are close? Didn't human usually blink their eyes?

Really hope to see Joseph in action.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

This adaption just keeps getting better :-D. I Also love Hol Horse; he talks a big game and was able to shoot Avdol in the head when partnered up, but just kinda sucks when he's on his own.

i like how polnareff killed j. geil without hesitation, usually in those kinds of situations(in anime and or movies) the person seeking revenge realizes that he doesn't really want to kill the other guy or that killing him wont do any good, etc. it really pisses me off when that happens, can you imagine polnareff saying "well you raped and killed my sister as well as tried to kill me and you probably raped and killed other girls as well, but killing you wont change the past so I'll let you go" that would haven sucked! just another reason why i like this show.


Hahaha, a character in Wild Arms 5 is totally this, but at least he still vowed to kill the person, just trying to make that person hate him more.

And I love Polnareff for doing the opposite of this. Honorable, friendly, and to the point, that's out Pol-Pol-kun.

They have been doing 3-4 chapters per episode quite consistently. Problem is they're going to need another 26 episode season if they want to adapt the whole manga at that pace.
