I think it’s a slight disservice to Joseph to call it luck. He did all the heavy lifting to set up the situation in which the super aja could follow through on its prophesied purpose. If fate hadn’t chosen Joesph to be its ‘vehicle’, he probably wouldn’t have gotten involved with the Pillarmen in the first place.
@@welshlout3400 I could see that. But even then, with how much Joseph beats impossible odds again and again and again with his wit, I think he totally earned to have at least one "dumb luck" win

Lisa Lisa didnt say she couldnt destroy the stone just because “legend says." She explains that it was foretold it would be impossible to beat the pillar men without it. This becomes true when a ripple beam from the stone causes the volcano to erupt which eventually leads to Kars’ defeat.
I think there's also the fact that they could break the Red Stone of Aja, but if they did, the Pillar Men would just retreat into hiding and there would be no way to guess where they went or what they plan to do next. It's probably just easier for Lisa Lisa to have the bad guys come to her and fight her on her own turf.
of course they wouldn't be in that situation at all if they ahd just smashed the damn stone, and kars wouldn't be immortal and invincible. SO mark's right.
Personally I think if they destroyed the stone then the pillar men could just create a whole army of vampires within days with their masks (and there's only like what, 5 hammon users that have years of training?). They'd still take over the world, they just wouldn't be the perfect lifeform. Although if they don't kill/turn Stroheim right away he'd come back with massive UV lights but then again if Santana can survive in direct sunlight for a few seconds the pillar men could probably take out said lights.
If Kars didn't get the stone, the stone wouldn't have been the only way to defeat them in the first place. More importantly, the problem is "where did the legend come from" and "what logic does this legend operate on," and "Why does Lisa Lisa believe it."
@@PangolinMontanari I mean in a world with ancient vampires and magic breathing forces I atleast would consider such legend regarding these things might be true.

In hindsight, I think Joseph's introduction is when Araki showed his potential to improve immensely. Being willing to let go of and change the main character of his manga and having that main character be almost completely different to Jonathan (other than in appearance) is insane and I love it.
@@kay7866 Yeah, I think 4 was the strongest I've read so far. I'm in the middle of 6 right now, and while 5 was solid, it didn't really DO anything. It was kind of a repeat of 3 with better focus and side character involvement now that I think about it. 6 is also looking solid, but I'm only three arcs in. Here's hoping the differences between Joseph and Jotaro are as well received as those between Jonathan and Joseph next week.
Especially impressive when you consider the time period he was writing in! Considering the popularity of fellow muscular heroes like Goku and Kenshiro, Araki totally could've stuck with Jonathan but he completely changed the stories trajectory, but in a way that still feels natural. And then he did it 7 more times!! He truly is The Ultimate Life Form
Nothing contrived about the volcano eruption, my man, that's just what happens when a beam of super-hamon from a super-pillar man, additionally amplified by a shitton by the Red Stone of Aja, gets shot down the shaft. Ask any geologist.
Amateur geologist here, can confirm. Based on a test in which our professor directed hamon into a regular piece of granite and melted it into lava, we deduced that a powerful enough infusion of hamon into the mantle can create enough energy for a volcanic eruption anywhere, but it would really only be remotely feasible at an actual volcano.
Kinda wish he woulda talked more about Wamuu considering he was the best and most nuanced of the Pillar Men with his sense of honor and the respect he showed both Caesar and Joseph.
@@zhero8434 that is incorrect, lots of characters in jojo have localized names, but the pillar men do not (except for Santana being changed to snaviento) wamuu, esidisi, and kars are not localized names, they are the canon names, as well as straizo being a REFERENCE to straits, but not a localized name, there is a difference, wamuu is a reference to Wham, but not a copy right friendly version of it, do you understand?
By the way, when Joseph straitens the pasta in the restaurant to launch at Caesar, that's the same technique that Jonathan used to glide on the leaf in Part 1.
Things I dislike about Battle Tendency: Lisa Lisa getting clowned that hard. That was just baaaad. Things I like: Stroheim showing up, boasting about GERMAN ENGINEERING, and getting his ass kicked every time.
Well, Lisa lisa was clowned cuz kars saw joseph use cheap tricks to win against wamu, one of the best warriors he knows, so from then on he used a cheap trick to defeat Lisa lisa (who wasn't aware kars would cheat)
@@atonanimated1355 After Wham was killed, Kars had only himself (and the remains of Santana) left as Pillar Men. Up until that point, he was humoring ACDC and Wham's challenge, even at the expense of getting the stone quickly, since he had respect for his fellow Pillar Men. With them gone, he had no reason to show a shred of respect to anyone, and so went for the tactic he knew would get him the stone.
@@Ironpecker She should've had a few fights earlier on to really show how skilled she was, but I feel like her encounter with Kars is really to show how outmatched everyone is against an enemy who has been fighting Hamon warriors for literal hundreds of years.
Fun Fact: Araki once said that if the gang from Part 3 went back in time and saw Joseph Joestar, they would see Hermit Purple wrapped around his body like a wire.
@@l.d.3097 think about it like this; Hamon always had a bit of prothetic power as far back as Tonpetti telling Will Zep how he'll die, as well as the legend of the Red Stone being the key to defeating the pillar men. When Dio awakens his stand and causes a chain reaction, it's less that Joseph's Hamon got amplified, but he can more directly use the spiritual side of it.
I honestly love Part 2. It's when Jojo goes fully bizarre, while still having stakes, and Joseph is such an awesome protagonist. The setting is great too.
Hamon Hyposis was actually present since Phantom Blood: 1) During the fight against Doobie (the snakes zombie) Jonathan used Hamon to make the snakes turn against Doobie. 2) Jonathan used Hamon on Wang Chen to control him into holding the ship's screwshaft. 3) Young Joseph made a pilot pass out by putting his hands on the pilot's head and infusing it with Hamon. 4) Caesar used Hamon to mind control a girl into attacking Joseph.
@@samueloak1600 in the manga, Dio specifically states that "Jojo must have done something to Wang Chen's body! Instead of destroying his body with Hamon, he messed up his mind!"
Hamon Hypnosis being a thing isn't really that ridiculous when you remember that Zepelli's master predicted his death down to last detail using a Hamon Handshake. Hamon has an established supernatural & clairvoyant component to it by that point. No hate though remember these tiny things isn't exactly required to enjoy the series, though knowing about hamon's psychic abilities does make some of Joseph's later abilities a lot cooler.
The difference is: Sanji does it for multiple decades and it's still as funny as the first time (not funny at all), whilst Joseph does it once. And karma gets him later down the road once he learns the truth.
I'm upset Mark didn't mention that Joseph trolled Kars one last time. You can't harp on character consistency so much and not talk about the biggest consistency at the end. It's a crime! Nah but great video tho.
I HATE people that HATE other people. I get a lot of HATE comments on my amazing videos and I HATE it. Please don't spread HATE. Do I have to HATE you too, dear kim
@@theonewhowatches869 I don't get it. How is it bizarre? An ancient, more technologically advanced civilization disappears because of their own hubris, and their remnants resurface to try and take over the world
@@floricel_112 Well a lot of the smaller details are what make it bizarre and weird. Like, how are the pillar men able to speak English or Japanese upon awakening when 2000 years ago it wasn’t even a thing.
Caesar used Hamon hypnosis on the girl he was flirting with while fighting Joseph, Jonathan used it on snakes and such... Also Tonpetti; the master that taught Zepelli was literally able to tell Zepelli his future almost spot on to how he was gonna die; Hamon is more than just punch hard, sunlight karate.
Fun fact: In the original manga run, Baron Zeppeli says he doesn't have a son, and then Caesar happened because Araki forgot he said that, so he went back and changed Zeppeli's dialogue for the sake of continuity.
The ending with Marine Senchou singing was a stroke of genius and luck lol If she didn't upload recently (Yesterday lol) but later than this video it wouldn't have been here.
@@Pacman-9312 A lot of JoJo is about fate though. Can't speak for 6-8 but throughout the anime, you can see all the themes of fate. So if there's a prophecy, it's best to believe that it's going to happen at some point.
@@ezioblazesit9017 just because its thematically consistent doesn't mean its automatically good writing. Though I will say Araki gets better at weaving the theme of fate into the plot as the series progresses, culminating in his magnum opus steel ball run. Though I do find it funny that a lot of the plot points involving fate are so divisive in the community, like part 2's ending, rolling stones from part 5, and the entire over heaven plan form part 6.
Loved the video Mark, but I do have some criticisms. The hypnosis bit was shown quite a few times. We've seen it in phantom blood when Jonathan uses it on the snake, and Joseph and Caesar used it on a pigeon and lady respectively. I also think it's best to be more clear on the legend. The legend states that the stone would lead to the pillar men's defeat which it does. Destroying it also likely wouldn't be the best move since it also keeps them active which will give Joseph a chance to defeat them now that they're going to be more active. Still on the topic of the stone, the volcano didn't "suddenly erupt". It was the stone that caused it to after getting hit by hamon... I'm not actually sure how that was missable. Either way, still enjoyed the video and happy you're having a good time. Edit: Side note, but I think the video also could've benefited by talking more on the villains. Wamu's pride and respect towards his opponents and how it contrasts and influenced Joseph, and Kars surprising respect to living creatures like a puppy and even a single flower.
Ceasar's death wasn't what broke me... It was watching Lisa Lisa try to keep it together when she and Joseph began to realize what they were really looking at
Vampires only really disappear from the story in part 4 lol, up to then they still make it in some form or another. Even if that form is occasionally aztec rock demi-gods
@@DinantZ I can't find the timestamp and don't feel like going through the whole 30 minute video again, but at some point, Mark says, "Pecking order," and the editor cuts to an image of Mr. Popo's face from Dragon Ball. It's a reference to TeamFourStar's Dragon Ball Z Abridged, where Popo lays out the pecking order on the Lookout to the Z fighters who had come there to train, basically telling them they're not worth shit lol.
Since you're reading the manga, you wouldn't know the final boss of each part uses their powers to change the anime opening when their ability gets revealed.
well with jojo the stuff is usually weird as all hell but it still does have an internal logic to it. stuff doesnt tend to come out of no where and even when it does it at least makes sense in hindsight
@@KingOfDarknessAndEvil ya that’s why I like Jojo so much it’s on my top 5 anime cause the most random stuff or events happen in Jojo but they make sense and it’s always exciting when it happens plus I really like stands their cool asf
@@nueveswordstyle3413 Thats not a reason for stuff happening just for the hell of it and keep it moving. I like Jojo but the hype it gets and how people say they love the "strategy" and unique nature.....alot more thought being put into it for it to make sense and more compelling would be nice.
“this one is a LOT more complicated.” you think this is bad? just wait until we get to everyone’s favourite four-testicled, fusion of two people, spinning bubble stand-having, amnesia patient, sailor from another universe.
Its really not that confusing, you see fans call him Gappy but he's really Josuke but is the fusion of Kira who is actually also Jotaro and Josefumi who is actually also part 4 Josuke and they make Josuke who is Kira, Josuke, and Jotaro except not really Jotaro because Jotaro is his sister who is also Okuyasu.
@@galactic1555 well, what about their stands? you have soft and wet fused with killer queen, who made soft and wet, but now it has bubbles which are actually a tiny thread spinning really fast and it can take away anything from something which was soft and wet 1’s power, so i’m not sure how killer queen factors in except the bubbles which aren’t really bubbles
personally, as much as i like joseph, i dont think hed nearly be as compelling if he hadnt been after jonathan. im no mega fan of jonathan myself, but i think he establishes a good precedent for the rest of the serious, that no matter how different the joestars may be, they still carry jonathan's inherent goodness. Joseph may be a cocky asshole and almost completely different from jonathan, but he still has that joestar trait of selflessness.
You can even see some of Johnathan's traits carry on in the others, like how Joseph has the compassion and respect with Whammu despite him being the one to directly kill Caesar, like if he could he might have even spared Whammu. That's something that Johnathan struggled with when fighting Dio, but in this case Joseph manages to still live after that.
I see a lot of people who hate on Jonathan even though personally I think he's the perfect protagonist at the start of a huge generation spanning story like this because he is made as the example for future Joestars, my favorite comparison between Jonathan and the other JoJos has to be Johnny from SBR while Jonathan was a spoiled kid who became a true gentlemen, Johnny took that spoiled kid trait and cracked it up to 11 making him a depressed whiny selfish brat who became someone who truly understands what it means to live after having a friend
@@TerminaBroTheFirst That's actually an interesting thought. I guess Jonathan was a spoiled rich kid afterall, however unlike Johnny he doesn't really have the traits you'd expect a rich kid to have. Outside of being whiny as a kid (and even then, he always keeps it to himself and calms down with some chocolate bars. Man Part 1 is weird), he doesn't have an ego problem or expect everyone to do his bidding. I feel that Instead his spoiled richness and easy life gave him a different kind of mindset. Like he's had it so easy that he sees the world in this sorta romantic view, because he's never had to endure the harshness of it like Dio did. And yet even when Dio tried to show him cruel reality, Jonathan didn't give in. He expected it all to go how he imagined it would, like a tale of a hero vanquishing evil, or that he simply expected that Dio could be redeemed and turn to good. But this was his biggest weakness, he was so pure and innocent that he couldn't accept the harsh reality he lived in and got killed for it. And perhaps he ended up realizing that Dio was truly evil and beyond saving in the end, but he still died smiling never giving into despair and rejecting the humanity that he always believed in. And I think that changed Dio, he became much more of a philosopher, learning more about people and taking in the wonders and beauty of the world. He saw more to the world than before back when he rejected it. He admired Jojo's unmoving passion for life and justice, and adopted that into his own twisted version. I'm probably not explaining this very well, I'm having difficulty trying to remember the right words for the ideas I'm trying to express since I'm tired. But hopefully you get the gist of it.
I guess the simplest way to explain it would be: Part 1 Dio rejected the world, Part 3 DIO embraced the World. He wanted more of it, to control it, but also likely because he wanted to see it like how Jonathan did. But perhaps I'm just misreading intentions and the characters feelings here.
Araki only has two types of writing. The clever type that makes you go "oh my god, that was so clever and well set up!" and the asspull type that makes you go "okay I guess?!?!? Fuck you, Araki". There is no middle ground
@@KingOfDarknessAndEvil I don't know about the bed part, but I believe Polpo eating his fingers was a reference to Black Sabbath. Their guitarist Tony Iommi lost two of his fingers in an industrial accident.
20:21 i remember araki in some interview saying that if character from part 3 went back in time to this time, they would see hermit purple around joseph, so joseph was unconsciously using his stand at that point with out knowing what it was, just like he used hamon with out knowing what it was. This is still a retcon, sice the concept of stands came up later, but it is a retcon that would explain how joseph could do some tricks so fast with out using his hands and him guessing what the other would say (as hermit purple had some mind reading powers)
I don't think he'll be bothered by that, since stand powers are mostly self-contained and do very explicitly defined things. They're like devil fruit powers, in that sense.
@@PangolinMontanari that only applies to part 3 and 4 though, after that he has to deal with overly complex stand abilities and some changing abilities entirely.
@@melancholygirl7793 Like the Requiem transformations of stands that require a arrow to pierce the user(part 5 and 6), but it judges if its worthy or not to receive the power, if not, they die.Then part 7 brings a new concept of "spin" force of nature, its similar to hamon but work complex.
Can we also talk about Araki’s love for pop culture and all the references not just used for names but how that change abilities and characters (especially part 4 onwards) it’s pure genius
@@diegodelafuente5056 the “Laser beam” part of the song it’s referencing must have missed the memo because that isn’t present anywhere in anything related to Killer Queen
Yo, isn't "Hamon hypnosis" already anticipated in the initial squarrel between Joseph and Caesar? If I'm not wrong, C hypnotised a girl to fight him. And J remote-controlled a pigeon with Hamon too.
19:45 is one of my favorite things about JoJo. The characters have such unique abilities that we get fights that wouldn't exist in pretty much any other series.
One piece feels like a grand tapestry, intricately woven and meticulous, JoJo’s is like an abstract painting, it doesn’t always make sense and it’s certainly strange, but it’s their to provoke an emotion and sometimes it hits really raw, and other times it makes no sense
Yo, did he just say that there was no emotional component in the battle with Kars? Joseph was trying to save his mother from him after Kars put her above a pit with razor-sharp crystals. He then uses the Red Stone to ignite the volcano and blast both him and Kars up into the air. The volcano didn't erupt spontaneously. Other than that, loved the video! Keep doing what you're doing, I'm gonna watch the rest of this series so hard.
28:51 I was rather confused here, as I thought that the volcano exploding at least in the anime, was a massive version of the bottle trick Joseph pulled off in the beginning but I could be wrong.
most of the problems in part 2 are fixed by part 4 when Araki really comes into his own as a mangaka. To me part 3 is more of a transition period than anything
The thing I like best in the part 2 (my favorite) is that Joseph is just so smart, lucky and jackass. He is very powerful, but beating his enemies mostly with using his wits and not overpowering them with power, macho or Lawful Goodness strengths is just so fun.
(Hands Mark a glowing stone.) Us: "Mark, legend says we need this stone in order to defeat an ancient enemy. They will try to take it from us and use it's power. Make sure you keep it..." Mark: "IMMA GONNA DESTROY IT! NO REASON TO KEEP IT AROUND!" Us: "What? No, I said we need it to...Mark, no!"
One of hamon's functions is to control the bodies and minds of other characters. Jonathan did it to some zombies and Joseph/Caesar used it a couple times on people and birds. As advanced as she is, Lisa Lisa could just be using a more complicated version of the same principle...?
After having the Red Stone of Aja as a mcguffin for most of the part, and Joseph's sudden realization that it amplifies Hamon; did Mark miss the panel where Kar's massive overdrive attack was amplified by the stone and directed straight into the volcano?
This comment is plagiarized, been seen already by too many people to make it funny and you dont put a comma before "and" in an enumaration, unacceptable you're now a worse person than Essidissi
I recall watching Cosmonaut Variety Hour and his take on JJBA. He enjoyed the first two, disliked number three, loved part four, hated part five, and refused to keep reading after part six. People keep bugging him to read part 7, but hr absolutely refuses.
Volcano didn't just *suddenly* erupt though, it was caused by Kars being insanely "smart" enough to try and use hamon to end Joseph instead of just killing him outright, resulting to Joseph impulsively blocking with the Stone of Aja. As the Aja is said to be the perfect conductor of Hamon, the result was a laser beam that blasted right through to the volcano and that triggered the whole eruption.
Mark I love your reviews seeing your takes on series I love and making me see things differently is something only you can make me do. P.S: Ceasar did the hamon hypnosis with the pigeon also I thought Lisa Lisa said that we can't kill the pillarman without the stone. And the Nazis retrieved the stone thats how they found the gang
It launching a guy who could just fly away into spaces is what was a lame asspull, though. Plus Joseph surviving being launched just short of orbit and re-entering, and falling... The ending of part two was really stupid.
I get why some people didn’t enjoy the anime at the beginning as much but man I really appreciate the color palette and music that complements the vibe and vision. Not to mention the voice acting 👏🏼
with the phantom blood deaths, maybe cause i've only watched teh anime, but considering the pacing i took those characters like Johnathan's father as not only motivations for the protagonists but also to establish stakes. Not only for the story of Phantom Blood, but stakes for the series. People can and will die. Not everyone will walk away happy. So for down the line when there is better opportunity for more well developed characters, each foe and danger they face we have this believable tension that things could go south. Unlike some comics like Dragon Ball and One Piece where death is inconsistent or becomes meaningless, the live or death struggles feel real throughout the entire series in part cause it had that strong foundation of what type of series this is from the get go.

Things I dislike about Battle Tendency: Lisa Lisa getting clowned that hard. That was just baaaad.
Things I like: Stroheim showing up, boasting about GERMAN ENGINEERING, and getting his ass kicked every time.
Well, Lisa lisa was clowned cuz kars saw joseph use cheap tricks to win against wamu, one of the best warriors he knows, so from then on he used a cheap trick to defeat Lisa lisa (who wasn't aware kars would cheat)
@@atonanimated1355 After Wham was killed, Kars had only himself (and the remains of Santana) left as Pillar Men. Up until that point, he was humoring ACDC and Wham's challenge, even at the expense of getting the stone quickly, since he had respect for his fellow Pillar Men. With them gone, he had no reason to show a shred of respect to anyone, and so went for the tactic he knew would get him the stone.
@@jasonkeith2832 Yeah but still it'd have been nice to see Lisa Lisa put up more of a fighr

Fun Fact: Araki once said that if the gang from Part 3 went back in time and saw Joseph Joestar, they would see Hermit Purple wrapped around his body like a wire.
Considering the joestars only got stands after dio got his that sounds like some requiem level bullshit
I’ve always been a subscriber to the “Hermit Purple=Stand representation of hamon” theory.
@@l.d.3097 I swear to god it was on one of Kalebs or xForts videos, Araki himself said this in an interview. Yknow how Araki tends to forget thinks
@@fiasco2115 man that means araki didnt even remembered how the joestars got their stands in the first place, or maybe he doesnt care anymore, idk
@@l.d.3097 think about it like this; Hamon always had a bit of prothetic power as far back as Tonpetti telling Will Zep how he'll die, as well as the legend of the Red Stone being the key to defeating the pillar men. When Dio awakens his stand and causes a chain reaction, it's less that Joseph's Hamon got amplified, but he can more directly use the spiritual side of it.
Caesar used Hamon Hypnosis on that woman he kissed when he and JoJo were having their Hamon measuring contest.
Not only that, the snakes that Jonathan used against that vampire in Phantom Blood.
Hamon measuring contest....I’m using that from now on

Hamon Hyposis was actually present since Phantom Blood:
1) During the fight against Doobie (the snakes zombie) Jonathan used Hamon to make the snakes turn against Doobie.
2) Jonathan used Hamon on Wang Chen
to control him into holding the ship's screwshaft.
3) Young Joseph made a pilot pass out by putting his hands on the pilot's head and infusing it with Hamon.
4) Caesar used Hamon to mind control a girl into attacking Joseph.
Yes.
I think the 3rd instance wouldn't count, otherwise, you're correct
@@samueloak1600 Right.
@@samueloak1600 in the manga, Dio specifically states that "Jojo must have done something to Wang Chen's body! Instead of destroying his body with Hamon, he messed up his mind!"
@@Hassan-kf6xj I said "the third instance"
Hamon Hypnosis being a thing isn't really that ridiculous when you remember that Zepelli's master predicted his death down to last detail using a Hamon Handshake. Hamon has an established supernatural & clairvoyant component to it by that point. No hate though remember these tiny things isn't exactly required to enjoy the series, though knowing about hamon's psychic abilities does make some of Joseph's later abilities a lot cooler.

with hamon hypnosis
Araki Forgot is not a thing, but Mark Forgot is
He was so busy trying to ignore how awesome Stroheim was, he missed out on entire scenes here and there.
what? no i didn't
He also forgot about Jonathan using hamon hypnosis for first time on Dio's chinese assistant to make him ruin the engine of the ship before he dies.
The volcano didn’t randomly go off, the supercharged Hamon shot from the stone of Aja is what set it off and made it so powerful
Sanji peeps on girls-
Mark: “literal scum!”
Joseph peeps on his mom-
Mark: “Deep and compelling”

when i remember his face after he learns about it i think you could say it was karma
The duality of men
The difference is: Sanji does it for multiple decades and it's still as funny as the first time (not funny at all), whilst Joseph does it once. And karma gets him later down the road once he learns the truth.
Joseph is punished for it as he learns he was perving on his mom. Sanji doesn't

U will be saying that a lot XD
Caesar used Hamon hypnosis on the girl he was flirting with while fighting Joseph, Jonathan used it on snakes and such... Also Tonpetti; the master that taught Zepelli was literally able to tell Zepelli his future almost spot on to how he was gonna die; Hamon is more than just punch hard, sunlight karate.
Fun fact: In the original manga run, Baron Zeppeli says he doesn't have a son, and then Caesar happened because Araki forgot he said that, so he went back and changed Zeppeli's dialogue for the sake of continuity.
That is a weird dialouge choice, who randomly just says "I don't have a son"?
@@jantheking7028 I think it was to show that he saw Jonathan as the son he "never" had?
Baby Caesar laughed at his moustache so daddy Zeppeli disowned him

@@Pacman-9312 A lot of JoJo is about fate though. Can't speak for 6-8 but throughout the anime, you can see all the themes of fate. So if there's a prophecy, it's best to believe that it's going to happen at some point.
@@ezioblazesit9017 just because its thematically consistent doesn't mean its automatically good writing. Though I will say Araki gets better at weaving the theme of fate into the plot as the series progresses, culminating in his magnum opus steel ball run. Though I do find it funny that a lot of the plot points involving fate are so divisive in the community, like part 2's ending, rolling stones from part 5, and the entire over heaven plan form part 6.
Loved the video Mark, but I do have some criticisms.
The hypnosis bit was shown quite a few times. We've seen it in phantom blood when Jonathan uses it on the snake, and Joseph and Caesar used it on a pigeon and lady respectively.
I also think it's best to be more clear on the legend. The legend states that the stone would lead to the pillar men's defeat which it does. Destroying it also likely wouldn't be the best move since it also keeps them active which will give Joseph a chance to defeat them now that they're going to be more active.
Still on the topic of the stone, the volcano didn't "suddenly erupt". It was the stone that caused it to after getting hit by hamon... I'm not actually sure how that was missable.
Either way, still enjoyed the video and happy you're having a good time.
Edit: Side note, but I think the video also could've benefited by talking more on the villains. Wamu's pride and respect towards his opponents and how it contrasts and influenced Joseph, and Kars surprising respect to living creatures like a puppy and even a single flower.
Ceasar's death wasn't what broke me... It was watching Lisa Lisa try to keep it together when she and Joseph began to realize what they were really looking at

That's our Gappy!
personally, as much as i like joseph, i dont think hed nearly be as compelling if he hadnt been after jonathan. im no mega fan of jonathan myself, but i think he establishes a good precedent for the rest of the serious, that no matter how different the joestars may be, they still carry jonathan's inherent goodness. Joseph may be a cocky asshole and almost completely different from jonathan, but he still has that joestar trait of selflessness.
Independently he’s still my favourite character and the niceness isn’t the main thing about his character
You can even see some of Johnathan's traits carry on in the others, like how Joseph has the compassion and respect with Whammu despite him being the one to directly kill Caesar, like if he could he might have even spared Whammu. That's something that Johnathan struggled with when fighting Dio, but in this case Joseph manages to still live after that.
I see a lot of people who hate on Jonathan even though personally I think he's the perfect protagonist at the start of a huge generation spanning story like this because he is made as the example for future Joestars, my favorite comparison between Jonathan and the other JoJos has to be Johnny from SBR while Jonathan was a spoiled kid who became a true gentlemen, Johnny took that spoiled kid trait and cracked it up to 11 making him a depressed whiny selfish brat who became someone who truly understands what it means to live after having a friend
@@TerminaBroTheFirst That's actually an interesting thought. I guess Jonathan was a spoiled rich kid afterall, however unlike Johnny he doesn't really have the traits you'd expect a rich kid to have. Outside of being whiny as a kid (and even then, he always keeps it to himself and calms down with some chocolate bars. Man Part 1 is weird), he doesn't have an ego problem or expect everyone to do his bidding.
I feel that Instead his spoiled richness and easy life gave him a different kind of mindset. Like he's had it so easy that he sees the world in this sorta romantic view, because he's never had to endure the harshness of it like Dio did. And yet even when Dio tried to show him cruel reality, Jonathan didn't give in. He expected it all to go how he imagined it would, like a tale of a hero vanquishing evil, or that he simply expected that Dio could be redeemed and turn to good.
But this was his biggest weakness, he was so pure and innocent that he couldn't accept the harsh reality he lived in and got killed for it. And perhaps he ended up realizing that Dio was truly evil and beyond saving in the end, but he still died smiling never giving into despair and rejecting the humanity that he always believed in. And I think that changed Dio, he became much more of a philosopher, learning more about people and taking in the wonders and beauty of the world. He saw more to the world than before back when he rejected it. He admired Jojo's unmoving passion for life and justice, and adopted that into his own twisted version.
I'm probably not explaining this very well, I'm having difficulty trying to remember the right words for the ideas I'm trying to express since I'm tired. But hopefully you get the gist of it.
I guess the simplest way to explain it would be: Part 1 Dio rejected the world, Part 3 DIO embraced the World. He wanted more of it, to control it, but also likely because he wanted to see it like how Jonathan did. But perhaps I'm just misreading intentions and the characters feelings here.
Araki only has two types of writing. The clever type that makes you go "oh my god, that was so clever and well set up!" and the asspull type that makes you go "okay I guess?!?!? Fuck you, Araki". There is no middle ground
Also the weird, somewhat random part that makes you go "...ok then, moving on" like when Polpo was just a bed suddenly and then ate his fingers
1st Type: Jotaro using magnets to make it seem like he couldn't move in stopped time when he really could to lure DIO near him
2nd Type: Star Finger
@@dominickperez2952 you actually exemplified it flawlessly. Wow. Good job

Part 2 and Part 4 - So many crazy Clever turn arounds.
20:21 i remember araki in some interview saying that if character from part 3 went back in time to this time, they would see hermit purple around joseph, so joseph was unconsciously using his stand at that point with out knowing what it was, just like he used hamon with out knowing what it was.
This is still a retcon, sice the concept of stands came up later, but it is a retcon that would explain how joseph could do some tricks so fast with out using his hands and him guessing what the other would say (as hermit purple had some mind reading powers)

Volcano didn't just *suddenly* erupt though, it was caused by Kars being insanely "smart" enough to try and use hamon to end Joseph instead of just killing him outright, resulting to Joseph impulsively blocking with the Stone of Aja.
As the Aja is said to be the perfect conductor of Hamon, the result was a laser beam that blasted right through to the volcano and that triggered the whole eruption.
Hamon hypnosis
Is shown by Ceaser
And the stone of Aja
Was actually the way to beat them
Me at the beginning: Aw, no Marine cover? Me at the end: NEVERMIND
Mark I love your reviews seeing your takes on series I love and making me see things differently is something only you can make me do.
P.S: Ceasar did the hamon hypnosis with the pigeon also I thought Lisa Lisa said that we can't kill the pillarman without the stone. And the Nazis retrieved the stone thats how they found the gang
I can't believe you didn't even mention Tequila Joseph. Easily one of the best scene in all Jojo's.
"All I've got under my skirt is more tequila, big boy!"
You’re next line is....... “CLACKER VOLLEY IS OP!!!” TOYOU!!
CLACKER VOLLEY!! N-nani!?
No it was cheese but close enough

CURAKA BOREY
This is a cool review and decent recap since I started watching jojo this year and finished only 4 parts and lemme say it's worth it.
The vulcano didn’t “just go off”. He went off because of the hamon beam that came from the Aja Stone, like in the prophecy.
It launching a guy who could just fly away into spaces is what was a lame asspull, though. Plus Joseph surviving being launched just short of orbit and re-entering, and falling... The ending of part two was really stupid.
I get why some people didn’t enjoy the anime at the beginning as much but man I really appreciate the color palette and music that complements the vibe and vision. Not to mention the voice acting 👏🏼
cant wait for part 3, you are really good at explaining everything and overall reviewing
23:47 "Caesar and Jonathan's relationship-"
Again Mark?
Your Next Line is "Joseph Joestar is the Best Jojo to date!"
Joseph Joestar is the Best Jojo date... NANIi!?
Nah Sorry U ain't right
Joseph is best jojo, I enjoy Jotaro and Josuke. Even Girgio, but Joseph is just the most charismatic
For me it is Giorno, kono Giorno Giovanna.
@@funnytrump3046 yes he is
Damn that was quick! Awesome video yet again. Excited to see more :)
with the phantom blood deaths, maybe cause i've only watched teh anime, but considering the pacing i took those characters like Johnathan's father as not only motivations for the protagonists but also to establish stakes. Not only for the story of Phantom Blood, but stakes for the series. People can and will die. Not everyone will walk away happy. So for down the line when there is better opportunity for more well developed characters, each foe and danger they face we have this believable tension that things could go south. Unlike some comics like Dragon Ball and One Piece where death is inconsistent or becomes meaningless, the live or death struggles feel real throughout the entire series in part cause it had that strong foundation of what type of series this is from the get go.
Lol....these videos are my first real experience with hearing the Jojo stories
Also that editing in the intro is god their. You should do trailers
The editor for this series is Ajay!
You should check it out and experience it yourself too!
@@badpiggy2403 Parents won't allow me to watch it because it's TV-MA
