Currently trying to watch anime again: JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Why “Diamond Is Unbreakable”
12:00 AMLately I’ve had a little free time (rare, endangered). I’m reading English novels again because my English keeps mixing with Japanese.
Hybrid sentences, confused pronouns, vibes only.
Also: I fell into JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure and resurfaced with Part 4: Diamond Is Unbreakable glued to my brain.
Why Part 4 Owns Me (politely)
Morioh feels like a small town that believes in feeling things loudly. I loved the landmark intros so much I kept pausing the episodes to read the captions, like a tourist who does homework. Josuke Higashikata is chaos with hair, loyalty, and a Stand. The whole gang plays detective, hunting down the thing rotting their city, homicides wearing everyday clothes. It’s Scooby-Doo if Scooby had a reality-bending right hook and perfect pompadour maintenance.
Opening/Ending Songs That Won’t Leave My Head
“Great Days” (OP3) is my favorite.
Bright, heroic, springy. It camps in my head and refuses rent. The reversed version near the end? So kakkoi it made my spine applaud.
The other OP/EDs slap too, but “Great Days” is the one that keeps finding me in the kitchen like, “hey, want a key change with those emotions?”
My Watch Order (a confession)
I almost watched everything in order, but Stardust Crusaders tested my attention span. I can’t marathon long arcs without turning into furniture, so I skipped ahead to Part 4. Do I feel guilty? Absolutely not.
Do I still laugh at the over-the-top expressions and dramatic poses? Yes. Loudly, rudely, often.
The Villain (too evil, just right)
Part 4’s main villain is deeply evil in the mundane way that sticks under your nails. Domestic terror in a nice suit. That contrast is why the story works for me: Morioh looks safe, and then it isn’t. (Relatable, but with more explosions.)
“Why Did It End So Fast?”
I binged until time lost definition and then complained it ended too soon—classic me. If it were longer I’d get bored; if it’s shorter I grieve. I contain multitudes and a broken progress bar.
Part 5 (Golden Wind): Can I Move On?
Episode 1 looks cool, I peeked. But I’m still haunted by Morioh’s crosswalks and the way Part 4 made small places feel enormous. Moving on feels like cheating on a town that taught me how to look both ways.
And because I’m me: I laughed the whole time. That’s my brand of life jacket. If the jokes are bright enough, you won’t notice I’m clutching the rail.
Which JoJo part is your favorite? and why does it live in your head rent-free?
