For this episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, we review Stardust Crusaders: Iggy the Fool and Geb’s N’Doul, Part 2 (E26 of Part 3).

Sun, 26 Nov 2023 15:28:45 -0000

We discuss the parts of JoJo we’ll never see. Ever wonder what happens between Parts or behind the scenes in JoJo? Or what happens to some of our favorite characters and if they ever reunite? Or what the Joestar family is really like? We wonder this all the time, so we’re sharing the side stories we wish Araki would write that could give us a glimpse into the moments we never got to experience.

For this episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, we review Stardust Crusaders: Judgement, Part 1 (E21 of Part 3). Polnareff really goes through the wringer in this episode, where he learns the hard way to be careful what you wish for.

For this episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, we review Stardust Crusaders: Justice, Part 2 (E15 of Part 3). Polnareff finally gets his bathroom break - although it's not as peaceful as he had hoped with Enyaba as his guide. We also take a look at other examples of hilarity and stupidity in what is supposed to be a vendetta-fueled episode, including Araki's obsession with tongues and Star Platinum's amazing lung capacity.

There's a lot happening in this episode, but we can only focus on Polnareff and his determination to find a bathroom with a nice, clean toilet. But we somehow manage to also discuss the back-and-forth between him and Enyaba, how similar he is to Hol Horse, and how bad his foreshadowing is becoming.

Mon, 24 Apr 2023 06:00:00 -0000

For this episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, we review Stardust Crusaders: Wheel of Fortune (E13 of Part 3). After fighting a boat, it makes sense that the Crusaders would also fight a car.

Wed, 15 Mar 2023 04:49:05 -0000

For this episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, we review Stone Ocean: What a Wonderful World (E38 of Part 6). The best way we can summarize the finale to Part 6 is with a word we use a million times in this episode: bittersweet. This finale signals not only the conclusion of Jolyne's story, but also the end of an era for JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. We discuss what happens to the universe, Pucci's walking simulator speech, and the importance of the final scene and what it represents.

For this episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, we review Stone Ocean: Made in Heaven (2) (E37 of Part 6).

Wed, 08 Feb 2023 02:58:21 -0000

For this episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, we review Stone Ocean: Gravity of the New Moon (E33 of Part 6).

For this episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, we review Stone Ocean: Heavy Weather (2) (E31 of Part 6). We learn all about Weather Report in this episode dedicated to his backstory, one that Araki wrote so well it makes us struggle to pin the blame on just one person.

Mon, 09 Jan 2023 23:20:16 -0000

For this episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, we review Stone Ocean: Under World (E29 of Part 6). Emporio's reaction to Jolyne telling him that she's stuck underground⁠ in the memory of a fighter jet that's about to crash into an airplane was exactly how anyone would react. But as absurd as it all sounds, we discuss how intense the entire sequence is, and discuss the rift forming between Pucci and Versus.⁠

For this episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, we review Stone Ocean: Jailbreak… (E24 of Part 6). Jolyne and Emporio go from breaking out of their infinite loops to breaking out of jail, but not without a lot of confusion and very questionable logic. We discuss the convoluted way they achieve these goals, as well as take a look at what's to come in Stone Ocean's final part.

For this episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, we review Stone Ocean: Time for Heaven! New Moon! New Priest! (E22 of Part 6). This rollercoaster of an episode had us really feeling the highs and lows. We discuss the pivotal moments that happen and question many things: Was Pucci in a relationship with the man he idolized? When did Jolyne become a magician with those handcuffs? And what were those cryptic, random words Pucci was saying?

63. Stone Ocean: F.F. - The Witness

Mon, 24 Oct 2022 19:20:14 -0000

For this episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, we review Stone Ocean: F.F. - The Witness (E20 of Part 6). Anasui shows that he can be the smartest and most perceptive JoBro, but can also become the most dense person when it comes to winning over Jolyne. Luckily, Foo Fighters stays focused on her objective that helps her make a critical realization. We share our thoughts as we discuss this funny and intense episode.⁠

62. Stone Ocean: Birth of the "Green"

Wed, 19 Oct 2022 04:21:19 -0000

For this episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, we review Stone Ocean: Birth of the "Green" (E19 of Part 6). There were serious moments, there were goofy moments, and there was even a sentimental moment that warmed our hearts. We share our thoughts on how this episode bridged the previous arc and the next arc, and offered us important insight into Jolyne and Jotaro's family bond.⁠

Tue, 11 Oct 2022 03:18:42 -0000

For this episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, we review Stone Ocean: Enter the Foo Fighters (E18 of Part 6). The confusion continues! We try to make sense of everything that's happening as Foo Fighters experiences a series of bad luck and extreme coincidences, Jolyne gets a crispy old man foot shoved in her mouth, and Anasui turns a person into an accordion.

What was confusing in the manga is unfortunately just as confusing in the anime, but we’re here to try to make sense of it all. We discuss urine therapy, poorly timed confessions of love, and sentient Stands using feng shui.

Tue, 27 Sep 2022 02:33:07 -0000

For this episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, we review Stone Ocean: The Secret of Guard Westwood (E16 of Part 6). It's JoJo fight club, complete with brutal, uncensored gore. We discuss all the ways Jolyne and Westwood beat each other up, and how Jolyne never gives up thanks to her Joestar resolve.⁠

We got a sneak peek of him in the first cour, but now we get a full introduction to Narciso Anasui and his butt cheek. We also get a sentient bone that can bite people, and JoJo characters being meta as they talk about who they think is the weakest Stand.⁠

57. Stone Ocean: Kiss of Love and Revenge (2)

Mon, 12 Sep 2022 22:02:02 -0000

For this episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, we review Stone Ocean: Kiss of Love and Revenge (2) (E14 of Part 6). Ermes gains profound closure in the conclusion of this two-episode arc, while we get less closure of how exactly Sports Maxx’s Stand works. We do our best to make sense of Limp Bizkit’s abilities - as well as spoil a classic 90s horror/thriller film.

Stone Ocean is back and it's starting us off with an Ermes arc that gives us an intimate look at her past. We discuss our initial thoughts on Stone Ocean Part 2, what the second cour does better than the first, and the biggest JoJo meme opportunity that was unfortunately missed.⁠

Mon, 29 Aug 2022 20:19:21 -0000

For this episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, we review Stardust Crusaders: The Emperor and the Hanged Man, Part 2 (E11 of Part 3). Polnareff and Kakyoin team up which allows them to shine in different ways. Polnareff shows off his big brain, and Kakyoin shows us he can be cool sometimes. We discuss the dramatic conclusion to Polnareff's personal journey to avenge his sister.⁠

Mon, 01 Aug 2022 20:50:56 -0000

For this episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, we review Stardust Crusaders: Yellow Temperance (E9 of Part 3). We might not be convinced by Yellow Temperance's Stand abilities, but we're definitely convinced that Kakyoin is talented when it comes to a cherry and his tongue. We question many things in this hilarious episode, including why Jotaro lied to that poor kid about his popsicle and how fast Kakyoin can say "rerorerorerorero."

Mon, 18 Jul 2022 06:00:00 -0000

For this episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, we review Stardust Crusaders: The Devil (E8 of Part 3). Our boy Polnareff is known for being attacked by enemy Stand users in the weirdest of places, and being attacked by a man in his mini fridge with a doll in his hotel room is no exception. We talk about this intense fight that feels straight out of a slasher film full of blood and gore.⁠

51. Stardust Crusaders: Strength

Mon, 04 Jul 2022 06:00:00 -0000

For this episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, we review Stardust Crusaders: Strength (E7 of Part 3). It's probably the most awkward episode of Part 3. Yes, this enemy Stand user is a very creepy monkey and we talk plenty about that. But we also talk about the eerie horror vibes Araki presents in this part of the story, Jotaro and Anne's unique relationship, and much more!

For this episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, we review Stardust Crusaders: Dark Blue Moon (E6 of Part 3). For this milestone 50th episode, we're reviewing one of the most mid fights in Part 3. But don't worry, what this enemy Stand user lacks in fighting ability, Jotaro makes up in dumb yet hilarious moments that include telling Avdol to "say something," feeling up some tits, and thinking about swimming in water filled with pee.⁠

We get to know every facet of Jean Pierre Polnareff, including his Stand, his backstory, and his personality. We take a closer look at his fight against Avdol and his initiation into the JoBros (which is basically Polnareff inviting himself on their journey to Egypt).⁠

Mon, 23 May 2022 06:00:00 -0000

For this episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, we review Stardust Crusaders: Tower of Gray (E4 of Part 3). This episode is literally just four dudes fighting a bug on an airplane. But that's the kind of writing that makes JoJo amazing. We break down the beetle fight and get introduced to the one and only: Jean Pierre Polnareff.

It's the introduction of the cherry-licking, mother-loving, wide-mouth-having JoBro known as Noriaki Kakyoin. And no JoJo introduction is complete without adding a bunch of abilities that we'll never see this character use ever again. But that's ok, because Kakyoin still does some amazing things in Part 3 ("Baby Stand").

43. The Worst Localized Stand Names

Mon, 21 Mar 2022 06:00:00 -0000

We discuss the worst localized Stand names in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. A lot of things in JoJo get memed, and one of those things is localized Stand names. Look, we get it. They're trying to avoid a massive lawsuit or having to pay crazy amounts of money for all the rights needed to keep the original names. But that won't stop the JoJo fandom from doing what they do best: making memes out of it. We share the most cringe, hilarious, and nonsensical localized names in this anime, as well as a few where they clearly knew what they were doing.⁠

Science is not our best subject, but Weather Report is apparently an expert as he teaches us the effects of zero gravity on the human body in this brutal fight against Lang Rangler.
