Damnit. I thought it was Erina. It was Poco's sister after all. Glad she was saved and wow she's a beaut.

And just like that Dire-san was killed by Dio. Dangit, maan. RIP Dire-san!

Please tell me Dio is dead now and there's no way for him to regenerate and shit. So done with his ass, tbh. -_-

That vein scene was incredibly uuuugggghhhh...gross.

I'm sure this is not the end of Dio yet. I've no idea if he's supposed to be as serious antagonist or die early, but I refuse to accept he goes out this early.

Hm. Up to that point that was pretty much a short version of any other shounen show out there. Just with more over the top characters, more dumb explanations for any action our heroes or villains do (which the side characters seem to pull out of their arses), more gore+blood and a retro art style to appeal to a special audience.
Well, currently I'd rate it even below the likes of Fairy Tail to be honest. <.<
But it seems to be the weakest part of JoJo by far (according to other MAL rankings), I will at least finish the season. I still have hopes. Because as ridiculous as JoJo it is, it IS fun to watch I got to say.

EDIT: Just realized, this post should've been in the ep9 discussion, my bad ;P

Many intensive moments appeared! Every next episode is simply better than the previous one, while all of them have been already very epic.

Pretty intense episode, this!

We got to see Dio ‘disciplining’ one of his minions first up and it was great to see Peggy-neechan reject him there. She’s got heart of steel to be able to do that, for sure! Jojo’s entrance was pretty dope though and we finally got around to Jojo vs Dio Round 3! Jojo’s quickfire planning totally beat Dio there and he even went on to deliver the decisive blow, cool stuff right there! Too bad Dio isn’t down and out just yet though, the pros really should’ve made sure to finish him to pieces. I think by the last shot focused on them, there weren’t even that many of the demons around so why didn’t one of them even think of the possibility of the vampire Dio returning? Another sad instance of such a thing for plot progression, I suppose. Commentary from the speedwagon chum is really hilarious though, I’ve to say. A little saddened that Barone Zapelli’s vengeance hasn’t yet been fully accomplished.

Welp, that aside, next episode preview promises some more treat! Elisa and Jojo are finally going to get married, right? And of course Dio’ll return. I’m finally nearly through Part 1 and Part 2 is said to be awesome so looking forward to seeing what’s next in store for me!

That chick had lots of practice slapping her brother Poco, so the slap on Dio must have been the real deal. No wonder he liked it.

I was at the edge of the seat for pretty much the length of the ep, Jojo VS Dio was incredible! Kinda funny how Dias was so confident yet only landing 1 simple attack before he died, but anyways, Dio is finally defeated, classic villain pushed off a cliff scene. And ofc he's still not dead... The preview just blew the suspense.

Jojo was full of surprises. Didn't think some mere flames would be able to nullify Dio's ice ability. I'm guessing the flames were accelerated through the fighting hamon.

Surely thats not the end of Dio?

It's a shame we didn't get to see Zeppeli's old master fighting, that would have been awesome.

Certainly the weirdest pacing I've ever seen...
Dire was killed off as quickly as he was introduced...
I came into this with zero background knowledge, so I'm only guessing... but perhaps, this Part 1 (9 episodes) is based on a long series of manga? And they're trying to condense it all?

Also, how tf does Dio survive being sliced in half? How does Dio boast of potentially severing JoJo's neck artery -- as if it's oh so delicate, and as if it'll kill JoJo -- when Dio's brain has been split? I don't care if Dio's a vampire... isn't the brain still crucial to the functioning of the undead? Or can all vampires just reattach body parts with their snake-like veins at freewill? Which sorta makes them... way to OP to take anything seriously.

Also... Dio ripped out JoJo's neck artery, but after JoJo outsmarts Dio with the sword, the gash in his neck completely disappears.

Also... Speedwagon won't stop narrating. Everythinggg.
Up until now, Speedwagon really has been useless...
I somewhat like the character, but I can see why Speedwagon was omitted from the lost 2007 movie. Because with out him, nothing would be different.

Also, like I said, I came into this with zero background knowledge... but I DID watch the 90's OVA, where Dio has a stand called The World. In the OVA, there is no reference to his freezing ability. I'm quite confused as to when and how Stands will come into play. And how Dio is a vampire (with a freezing ability?) that further obtains The World... I mean, a villain can only be so OP before I can't take a series seriously.

AaAaAalso, Dio being a principle antagonist throughout the series, and most of us being able to deduce that this may not be the end of things, WHY are none of the central cast going to inspect the scene for Dio's corpse? If not for safety, then out of curiosity? Speedwagon proclaims that they might have saved the world, but with a feat as monunumentous as that, you'd think they'd recover Dio's corpse. For celebratory reasons even!!

Zepelli lived quite a while after being chopped in half (horizontally)... Dio lived quite a while after being chopped in half (vertically)... Dire was able to inflict damage unto Dio after being DECAPITATED. There is a neverending amount of overcoming (impossible) odds in this series... how are the characters negligent enough to deduce that Dio is completely dead, simply because his mangled body fell off of a cliff? He's Dio for crying out loud...

The final conflict between Dio and Jojo. It was a great ending.

Poor Dire, he didn't even had time to shine. At least he managed to hit Dio before die.

The episode was supposed to be dramatic, but I can't take it seriously with Speedwagon's narration.
Also the poses are amazing.
Man, listen to them tear into me. Good thing I'm used to it.

Sad days as Dire has been killed. Rest in Muda...MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA.

What an awesome fight between Dio and JoJo, they've really gone at it in this episode, but is it just me or was it dumb to let Dire die that easily, it was hilarious more than anything in my eyes. But hey atleast JoJo gets the victory, and Wind Knights Lot and the group has assured its safety.

That was another great episode. Jonathan has finally defeated Dio for now and the world is saved, it seems like. Still, Jonathan is too kind. Dio doesn't deserve those tears, Jonathan.

The way how things transition from one scene to the others, just can't get myself immersed in, it does not feel like any of the characters were human

Seeing Dio defeated made me felt empty.

Dio is on another level, he destroyed the Dire like it was nothing.

The fact that Speedwagon was narrating the fight made it ten times better. And Dio's voice actor is phenomenal!!

How does he talk while being cut in half?
