No, Kira got caught because of Kira. Bites the Dust already got the Morrioh squad. He just had to go to work. That's all he had to do. But, nah. He had to go with Hayato to rub salt into the wound and he had to remove Bites the Dust (who already would have gotten the Morrioh squad) from Hayato just so he can slab the guy and he had to say it out loud that he is Kira for Josuke to hear it....... edit: slap*

Kira didnt have Killer Queen originally! He was standless and killed without the help of Killer Queen. He only recently acquired Killer Queen thanks to the stand arrow.
The appeal of Kira's character is a combination of dark realism and the fact that you see things from his perspctive. People talk about how villains are the heroes in their own story, and there's nothing heroic about Kira. But you feel uncomfortably relatable to him when you see anxiety from his perspective, you end up rooting for him instinctively. He makes you feel bad for pure evil.
its not that he wants or chose to be evil and kill people, he just has some sort of predisposed violent tendencies and has been enabled and conditioned himself to accept and embrace them, its not his fault but its still not forgivable whatsoever
@blehh_mae Exactly. He wants a peaceful quite life,but just like you cant stop your nails from growing, he cant stop killing. A lot of people forget that. I belive he would get rid of that urge if he could. He stated despite his impulse he *will* have a quite life. I really feel sorry for him. Unlike Kars and Dio he isnt a megolomaniac bent on world domination, he is a mentally ill man who just wants a quite life.
To be fair he didn’t research Kosaku beforehand I don’t think but the fact that he managed to fool Kosaku’s wife on the fly makes it all the more impressive
@@LonelyWolfWesternI think she was just happy he was a better person, even if he was vastly different. He didn’t interpret him in the fly, he was just a better husband in her eyes, so she didn’t question anything.

@@Monorat theres a big difference in their personality and beliefs tho, the dio brando as the start was just someone who wanted to be the best at everything and went to further heights just to achieve that, DIO is an ego maniac who just wants to achieve heaven and become god

Yes his goals became more heightened, but I think DIO is just Dio Brando power tripping. Spending a few decades in a coffin in the ocean probably didn't help his case, but gave him ample time to develop his goals.
10:24 he doesn't stalk him, Kira just grabs him because he was walking home from work at about the same time as he was being chased. This wasn't a planned contingency Kira had, he was just very lucky that a man of similar build was walking by, tying into the running theme of Kira believing luck to be on his side.
I love how Kira is just standing around Morioh in a lot of the exposition shots every time I rewatch I just love how one of the best villains is just standing in broad daylight crossing the street or checking his watch. So good
I don't think he's "realistic", but his characterization is so detailed and extensive that you know every horrifying detail and reason for him doing what he does and because of that, he feels real.
Not going to lie, Killer Queen is a baller stand, but Wonder of U is my favourite main Villain stand. Thanks to WoU I am now forever anxious whenever I walk behind an old man with a cane and can't see their face. Also, I love how WoU acts like no other stand in Jojo. It really gives you this dread while reading because of how many rules it breaks.
I don't think there are any set-in-stone rules in place for stands (at least not a lot of them). If there were, then Araki would be pointlessly limiting himself and we probably wouldn't have gotten a good majority of the stands we have now. That being said, Wonder of U is something else entirely... It's probably one of my personal favorites.
@@vulturesalesman There are rules (Only a stand/stand user can see and interact with stands, stands have a user, stands have limited range) Araki just breaks them constantly. WOU also breaks a narrative rule. Almost every time in order to beat a stand, you need to either go after the user or create a plan of attack (Only the most one-sided matchups will allow one to just go in and attack without a plan) except those two things cause WOU to activate. To beat it, you need an extremely specific counter and the counter is about the only thing that can start the chain of events that can lead to WOU's defeat. It's why I consider WOU to be the strongest ability in the Jojo franchise, even stronger than GER(although to be fair, to me GER is stuck at third while tied with Tusk 4) Novel Kars and TWOH DIO. You either use it's counter or you die and only one person knows how to use said counter.
@@-opresiet-1414 simply the intent is enough to trigger WOU, and if you've been a bad person, that might not even matter. Even if you walk away, if you intend to pursue WOU later, it won't matter.
@@self-proclaimedanimator bro ofcourse it is anime only 💀 kinda obvious they wouldn’t include a character from like 60 chapters later into an early chapter from there. Even his design would be off
For the average serial killer, killing is a depraved hobby, nothing more. It's something they do to get their kicks, something as easy as the way we play video games, football, or chess. For Kira, it is a borderline physiological need. It's something he does because he feels he cannot live without it. He treats it as naturally as we do breathing or sleeping.
it really plays into his madness. mmurder isn;t sjut something fun for him, its NORMAL, its part of his routine. If he can't murder people than what is he supposed to DO? it jsut doesn't make sense to him how he can live without murdering people and dating their hands.
the random like 3 seconds of garden warfare 2 gameplay of you just walking as the vampire chomper that you probably won't put in the video again is so badass man
Hello fellow spectrum individuals. Yes, that _is_ something I do as well. For example. My laptop doesn’t have any inherent USB ports, so I have a USB-C adapter I plug in. _If I do not _*_KNOW_*_ where that thing is I’m going to upend my entire room looking for that shit._
Kira actually portrays his mental illness well. It's not like he doesn't know that society deems murder wrong, but he really doesn't have mortality or empathy. He was even baffled when he had a brief moment of caring for Shinobu. And a lot of his things like toe nail clippings, needing to fix the socks and his hand collection may not be rational to us, but to him it's as basic as how we know killing is wrong. Easily my favorite villain.
Good video, yet because I am a crazed jojo fan no different than the rest of the fan base, I have to point out that Kira did not stalk kosaku previous to assuming his life. He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, or at the very least, we have no proof that Kira was stalking him.
I love how Kira wanted to "live a quiet" life yet everything he ever did, from being a sociopathic killer to where he chose to live, had the complete and total opposite effect on his life. Kira feels like such a genuine mastermind and threat too, more than Pucci even in my eyes. Pucci was merely following in Dio's footsteps and just kinda resets the universe before getting his skull caved in by a kid and his stand, while Kira actually erases people from the timeline with his abilities which is genuinely far more frightening.
Kira being the best villain, I agree with. Josuke, I don't have too strong of an opinion on. Barely gets any character development. Josuke has good fashion, tho.
6:07 something to add is that Kira is IN the opening of Crazy Noise Bizarre Town, during where the silhouettes of characters are flying across the screen. It's going so fast that it's easy to not notice him
Dude, i started watching Viland Saga right when it started to Air and i was watching it weekly. But then there was an episode where a guy appeared throwing logs and boulders around like it was nothing and that didn't even care when his fingers were cut off, and this really, REALLY anoyed me and i stopped watching. Should i go back to it?
Because kira wasn't just some mindless bad guy looming dreadfully in the background. If you didn't know the full story, kira would seem like a normal guy with a stand. And in some cases, even a good guy, like when he took out shigechi.
ok so I pressed the "end" button on my keyboard by mistake and it did the perfect video "What sticks out to first time viewers of the series is how... REAL Kira is- *end of the video* " And I found it funny so here I am, telling a thing nobody cares about
"Josuke, you've fallen right into my trap. You really are a Diamond is Unbreakable." i burst into tears when he said this in the theater, it was almost as impactful as when Josuke said "No, you're wrong. The real Crazy Noisy Bizzare Town was inside me all along!" 10/10 bravo vince gilligan
5:32 It was my problem on DiU, but then once the villain was explained, it makes a whole lot of sense. My brain also didn't acknowledge the first episode (I think), a hand as a corpse to introduce the lively Morioh Music. I repeat, it didn't register to me, that there was a serial killer as the villain, It didn't click at all, I didn't even question it.
what i like about kira is he didn't even had sad backstory like most of anime villain from a kid he had a common and healthy family,his family support him,he had a good life best life even he's just a serial killer with a hand fetish and a good life and it's scary as hell
he didn't have any like big or good motivation like funny valentine or some anti hero or shit dude ia just a serial killer wanted a quite life and also perfectly blend among people
This was an awesome video chewie and i can also safely say that kira is in my top 5 manga villains the others being raoh(fotns),garou(opm),baran(fotns),sirene(devilman)
this was a beautiful video chewiedog1, i am truly thankful to exist in the same timeline as you, the same universe and the same planet. i don't know what i would do if i couldn't patiently wait for your uploads everyday, frothing at the mouth as i anticipate your next video thank you for truly being the goat chewiedog1
I loved Pucci. It helps that Pucci and Kira, who are tied for my favorite villains in anything ever, are both actually super competent and good at what they do.
Part 4, is literally "Teenage boys try finding hand stealing murderer, murderer wants to live a peaceful live with a preserved hand, murderer puts hand in McDonalds bag, explodes child with a very weird skull, murders another child, plays with dead child's toes and fixes his sock, fights teenagers and adult, then gets incapacitated and hit by an ambulance."
8:08 I think the thing that makes Kira's theme so remarkable is how it sort of feels like it's telling a story. A lot of the other villains have songs that are meant to demonstrate either their massive presence or the dread they command. With Kira, however... It starts off with this innediately unsettling piano. Then it oresents this wimsical score that still has this sense of "wrong" to it. And then, there's the chaos that plays in the other half, as if the score itself is seeing the kind of monster Kira is
Even Diavolo and Pucci... Pucci's problem is he thinks he's helping humanity but it will only make their Earthly existence completely meaningless when they already know how things will unfold. That's definitely a hellish existence if you ask me. And he's not even aware of it. Just like how Wes says how he's the kind of evil who doesn't know he's evil.
when i started jojo's, the only stands i recognized (like i've seen them before and now i'm just seeing them for the first time) were star platinum (obvious) and killer queen bcuz he's just so iconic. the lil cat ears and the resting bitch face. it's just perfect
The whole Kosaku Kawajiri arc is a reference to the first Hellraiser. Even how Josuke finds out Kira's identity is taken from how Pinhead hears Frank confess. Same with Kira and Frank being ripped to bits.
4:50 Dio did twice. First Jonathan beat him up after what he did to Erina. He fake cried Jonathan of how cruel Jonathan is. Second while being arrested. He put up a pretty speech for Jonathan to lower his guard so he can attack with a knife and wear the mask.
@@chewiedog1the mentality which he adopted when he was 1-18 Years old in the hoods has to be in him Also..ACDC (esidisi) cried his eyes out because from a strategic perspective ,it helped hi Kars is more strategic then esidisi
Aside from Pucci(who also loses in the end), Kira's one of the villains who successfully killed the entire cast and could have won if one smol boi wasn't there to mess his plans up.
what I loved about Yoshikage Kira so much is how human he is. he's pretty much representing the dark side of society of any city. he pretty much humanizes what we would deem as socitel monsters even tho they just normal people. I started to kind of relate to him when he took over the family and starts to become as good of a husband and as good of a father to his troublesome child but just like many of us, he failed. all of us have relationships that we try our absolute best to make it fruitful whether be it lovers, friends, parents etc but at some point we fail at that and that's what Kira gone through too. in this moment he became the reactive role while the protagonists became the active role of the story, seeing his inner monologues and his nervous state of mind as well he's no way a genius but the way how he strategies is maticulous asf and anyone can be as maticulous as kira omg I love this character so much. nux taku made very accurate vid on Kira go watch it!
Griffith from Berserk and Yohan from Monster are without a doubt above Ascalad and Kira as all time villains. But I can’t argue that those two are still in top ten. Kira especially. Such a brilliantly written villain. Great video. sub earned
Kira’s “Question for ya” when he met Koechi was one of the funniest things I’ve seen in an anime, the delivery of the lines in my opinion is what made him so good, in both the English and Japanese versions Kira’s voice is perfect and really made this character come together.
My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.
Amazing video . Even tho i think villains like aizen Griffith and meruem are better think kira ( dabetable) but i can still see kira is one of the best villain in anime in general he is my second fav villain after valantian
The best part is that episode 12 isn't even the first time we see him on screen(I'm pretty sure, been a while since I've seen part 4). At the end of either the first or second episode, when Josuke and Koichi just finished encountering Angelo's stand, we pan out to a crowd of by standers, where we can spot the silhouettes of several stand users we'll see in later episodes(Keicho and Okuyasu, Yukako, Hazamada, etc) and I think one of the silhouettes is Kira. Not to mention that opening scene to the first episode isn't the only time we see this morning routine with the severed hand before he's formally introduced

I'm on the spectrum and Kira is one of my favourite characters ever, mostly because how relatable his random fixations and obsessions are
😟
I too am on the spectrum
Spectrumites are serial killers?
Spectrum meetup?
Alright.
Guess I'll put my hat in the ring.
Hello fellow spectrum individuals. Yes, that _is_ something I do as well. For example. My laptop doesn’t have any inherent USB ports, so I have a USB-C adapter I plug in. _If I do not _*_KNOW_*_ where that thing is I’m going to upend my entire room looking for that shit._
"kira only preys on those weaker than him" which is basically everyone
Yeah because he has literally never met anyone stronger
He didn't know about stands until he met Shigech

Kira actually portrays his mental illness well. It's not like he doesn't know that society deems murder wrong, but he really doesn't have mortality or empathy. He was even baffled when he had a brief moment of caring for Shinobu. And a lot of his things like toe nail clippings, needing to fix the socks and his hand collection may not be rational to us, but to him it's as basic as how we know killing is wrong. Easily my favorite villain.
Good video, yet because I am a crazed jojo fan no different than the rest of the fan base, I have to point out that Kira did not stalk kosaku previous to assuming his life. He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, or at the very least, we have no proof that Kira was stalking him.
Kira is my favorite villian in jojo. Can't explain why but I love him :)
btw Congrats on 100k Chewie!
I love how Kira wanted to "live a quiet" life yet everything he ever did, from being a sociopathic killer to where he chose to live, had the complete and total opposite effect on his life.
Kira feels like such a genuine mastermind and threat too, more than Pucci even in my eyes.
Pucci was merely following in Dio's footsteps and just kinda resets the universe before getting his skull caved in by a kid and his stand, while Kira actually erases people from the timeline with his abilities which is genuinely far more frightening.
Araki be like- "Lets put the best JoJo and the best villian of the whole series in the same f*cking part."
Kira being the best villain, I agree with.
Josuke, I don't have too strong of an opinion on.
Barely gets any character development.
Josuke has good fashion, tho.
Valentine and Johnny are both 10 times better
Your statement is actually true since Joseph indeed makes an appearance in part 4
Part 8
Josuke is an ass Jojo. Joseph is much better
“Kars’ outfit. What outfit?” Got me rolling on the floor
6:07 something to add is that Kira is IN the opening of Crazy Noise Bizarre Town, during where the silhouettes of characters are flying across the screen. It's going so fast that it's easy to not notice him
Can’t wait for the Vinland Saga video. I swear nobody talks about it
Dude, i started watching Viland Saga right when it started to Air and i was watching it weekly. But then there was an episode where a guy appeared throwing logs and boulders around like it was nothing and that didn't even care when his fingers were cut off, and this really, REALLY anoyed me and i stopped watching. Should i go back to it?
@@gustavosauro1882 yes
@@gustavosauro1882 Dude thats just Thorkell being Thorkell. Vinland saga is a must watch if you are into epic, drama and historical fiction
@@gustavosauro1882 its an anime my guy, funny unrealistic stuff is just par for the course
Because kira wasn't just some mindless bad guy looming dreadfully in the background. If you didn't know the full story, kira would seem like a normal guy with a stand. And in some cases, even a good guy, like when he took out shigechi.
ok so I pressed the "end" button on my keyboard by mistake and it did the perfect video "What sticks out to first time viewers of the series is how... REAL Kira is- *end of the video* " And I found it funny so here I am, telling a thing nobody cares about
I care
I really care
Bro accidentally used King Crimson
"Josuke, you've fallen right into my trap. You really are a Diamond is Unbreakable." i burst into tears when he said this in the theater, it was almost as impactful as when Josuke said "No, you're wrong. The real Crazy Noisy Bizzare Town was inside me all along!" 10/10 bravo vince gilligan
5:32 It was my problem on DiU, but then once the villain was explained, it makes a whole lot of sense. My brain also didn't acknowledge the first episode (I think), a hand as a corpse to introduce the lively Morioh Music. I repeat, it didn't register to me, that there was a serial killer as the villain, It didn't click at all, I didn't even question it.
"Oh a severed hand cooing breakfast, boy jojo really IS bizarre"
i love the vids when cheewie just meat rides certain characters lol
what i like about kira is he didn't even had sad backstory like most of anime villain
from a kid he had a common and healthy family,his family support him,he had a good life best life even
he's just a serial killer with a hand fetish and a good life and it's scary as hell
he didn't have any like big or good motivation like funny valentine or some anti hero or shit
dude ia just a serial killer wanted a quite life and also perfectly blend among people
At this point you are glazing kira. And you know what? I fucking love you for it because kira is my favourite villain
All through high school I used Kira's theme as an alarm clock..... I now have flashbacks whenever I hear it
This was an awesome video chewie and i can also safely say that kira is in my top 5 manga villains the others being raoh(fotns),garou(opm),baran(fotns),sirene(devilman)
1:27, bro, you forgot to mention where he lives, and how old he is, and drinking habit
this was a beautiful video chewiedog1, i am truly thankful to exist in the same timeline as you, the same universe and the same planet. i don't know what i would do if i couldn't patiently wait for your uploads everyday, frothing at the mouth as i anticipate your next video
thank you for truly being the goat chewiedog1
I dont think he knowed Kosaku before*hand* it was just a random person he found
I loved Pucci. It helps that Pucci and Kira, who are tied for my favorite villains in anything ever, are both actually super competent and good at what they do.
Yes, I agree with every single second of this video (video got uploaded 5 minutes ago)
CONGRATS ON 100K!!
7:59 "i dont even remember what DEEUH VOA LOW's theme sounds like." YOU ABSOLUTE BUFFOON ITS PRONOUNCED Diavalo... (Dee-Ah-Vo-Low)
How tf are Griffith , meruem , madara and that guy from bleach modern villains
Wdym
Part 4, is literally "Teenage boys try finding hand stealing murderer, murderer wants to live a peaceful live with a preserved hand, murderer puts hand in McDonalds bag, explodes child with a very weird skull, murders another child, plays with dead child's toes and fixes his sock, fights teenagers and adult, then gets incapacitated and hit by an ambulance."
I'd love to top Yoshikage Kira
I went to the comments hoping someone would say this
Don't we all
Realest comment
I want kira to top me
~ Shinobu
Killer video man, only bad part is I now have to find the time to reread part 4.
8:08
I think the thing that makes Kira's theme so remarkable is how it sort of feels like it's telling a story.
A lot of the other villains have songs that are meant to demonstrate either their massive presence or the dread they command. With Kira, however... It starts off with this innediately unsettling piano. Then it oresents this wimsical score that still has this sense of "wrong" to it. And then, there's the chaos that plays in the other half, as if the score itself is seeing the kind of monster Kira is
Mate put in a completely unrelated small clip of seperate ways for no reason. My hero.
Bro just failed whe he said "I don't even know what Diavolo's theme sounds like" it's most iconic villain song i've ever heard
agreed with this
Even Diavolo and Pucci... Pucci's problem is he thinks he's helping humanity but it will only make their Earthly existence completely meaningless when they already know how things will unfold. That's definitely a hellish existence if you ask me. And he's not even aware of it. Just like how Wes says how he's the kind of evil who doesn't know he's evil.
Great job Chewie.

0:40 no it's Blueford formerly known as bruford
when i started jojo's, the only stands i recognized (like i've seen them before and now i'm just seeing them for the first time) were star platinum (obvious) and killer queen bcuz he's just so iconic. the lil cat ears and the resting bitch face. it's just perfect
The whole Kosaku Kawajiri arc is a reference to the first Hellraiser. Even how Josuke finds out Kira's identity is taken from how Pinhead hears Frank confess. Same with Kira and Frank being ripped to bits.
0:36 *watch out for a flying human looking bird coming to your house tomorrow*
9:13 the clicking sound is also the same sound used at the start of “killer queen” by queen, they just changed the sound a little bit
ah hell yeah finally something good to watch on my feed
4:50 Dio did twice.
First Jonathan beat him up after what he did to Erina. He fake cried Jonathan of how cruel Jonathan is.
Second while being arrested. He put up a pretty speech for Jonathan to lower his guard so he can attack with a knife and wear the mask.
Bro that thumbnail tho, I'm dying dog 💀
You said that Dio or Kars would never cry to win, but in early part 1, Dio pretends to cry and be hurt when Johnathan hits him so he could stab him.
before George interrupted
that's when he was a literal child. Quite different from when he was a vampire supervillian
@@chewiedog1the mentality which he adopted when he was 1-18 Years old in the hoods has to be in him

I think Valentine is the best antagonist in JoJo.
But Kira is one of the best antagonists in FICTION.
re-read that please
Kira and Pucci>>>
Thats make literally no sense lol
Let me fix it for you
Valentine is the best anti-villain
Kira is one of the best serial killers and sociopath type of villain
@@Sebastian_Rabbit Valentine is a literal sociopath who wanted to take the corpse's power for himself?? how is that a anti-villain
nah kira mastered the stealth do much that even cameraman couldn't record him for 16 episodes
You have summoned the Garden Warfare 2 community
Aside from Pucci(who also loses in the end), Kira's one of the villains who successfully killed the entire cast and could have won if one smol boi wasn't there to mess his plans up.
0:40
Diavolo is so silent, not even Chewie knows about him
what I loved about Yoshikage Kira so much is how human he is. he's pretty much representing the dark side of society of any city. he pretty much humanizes what we would deem as socitel monsters even tho they just normal people. I started to kind of relate to him when he took over the family and starts to become as good of a husband and as good of a father to his troublesome child but just like many of us, he failed. all of us have relationships that we try our absolute best to make it fruitful whether be it lovers, friends, parents etc but at some point we fail at that and that's what Kira gone through too. in this moment he became the reactive role while the protagonists became the active role of the story, seeing his inner monologues and his nervous state of mind as well he's no way a genius but the way how he strategies is maticulous asf and anyone can be as maticulous as kira
omg I love this character so much. nux taku made very accurate vid on Kira go watch it!
Griffith from Berserk and Yohan from Monster are without a doubt above Ascalad and Kira as all time villains. But I can’t argue that those two are still in top ten. Kira especially. Such a brilliantly written villain. Great video. sub earned
Johan * Monster (is my fav )and berserk are truly masterpieces, one of the best animes ever created, now we just need a better adaptation of berserk ❤
So many other villains too
"they will never lower themselves like that"
then again, AC/DC did lower himself while fighting Joseph
dude what the hell? I used to live literally on the exact same street as 3:56 😭😭
that Tooru vid was how you got me to sub. Congrats
3:50 I'm pretty sure he does all 3 at some point.
Dude that "And kars was an aztec stripper god" at 1:42 got me rolling on floor XD
10:01 nothing against my beloved Frog-Guy-looking-Frog-eating-two-face-Emperor-king-red-crimson idk
the dark souls gameplay in the background got me intrested
Any thoughts about Funny Valentine?
meruem in the thumbnail is such an insane sneak and you know it.
I agree wither everything you said…
…
What nice hands you got there…
Kira’s “Question for ya” when he met Koechi was one of the funniest things I’ve seen in an anime, the delivery of the lines in my opinion is what made him so good, in both the English and Japanese versions Kira’s voice is perfect and really made this character come together.
hes an awesome villain, love him as a character, but if i ever see him on the street its on sight
My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.
Amazing video . Even tho i think villains like aizen Griffith and meruem are better think kira ( dabetable) but i can still see kira is one of the best villain in anime in general he is my second fav villain after valantian
"Aztec stripper god"
1:42
This is the best line i've heard about jojo's
Bro glazing serial killer 😂
yeah, because hes really well written. duh.
Diavolo would be proud that you dont remember his theme.
Hot take:
If Jobin ended up being the main villain, he would've been even better than Kira. (but it's still really really close)
keep these ''hot takes'' to urself lil bro💀
I barely even remember jobin his ass would have never been on Kira’s level
@@tijmne9145 Hot takes in quotations? This is an actual hot take for once
The best part is that episode 12 isn't even the first time we see him on screen(I'm pretty sure, been a while since I've seen part 4). At the end of either the first or second episode, when Josuke and Koichi just finished encountering Angelo's stand, we pan out to a crowd of by standers, where we can spot the silhouettes of several stand users we'll see in later episodes(Keicho and Okuyasu, Yukako, Hazamada, etc) and I think one of the silhouettes is Kira. Not to mention that opening scene to the first episode isn't the only time we see this morning routine with the severed hand before he's formally introduced
