Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 4- Diamond is Unbreakable Episode 26- Cooling off

So after nearly 5 episodes of Kira goodness, we take a break from our chase and move on to the 2nd half of Part 4 proper with the new set of Stand users made by Yoshihiro and the arrow. This week, it’s Rohan’s little bout with Ken and I will say that the quality definitely dipped with how much dedication they gave to Kira and honestly, this “fight” is only exciting in the last 1/3rd of it anyway. I will also note that they didn’t do Josuke’s little dot eyes when he greets Rohan at the start, as well as Rohan’s little cold shoulder to Joseph when they start their conversation.

Anyway, let’s get to JAAAAAAAAAAAANKEN HOI

Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 4- Diamond is Unbreakable Episode 20- Fairy Tale

One more week til we shift gears properly to match chase.

In many ways, I can see why they would move this episode ahead of Kira’s formal introduction. There was only one “arc” that separated Kira’s introduction to his actual encounter with the main crew so having this little love-story in between didn’t keep the tension up. It’s honestly a change for the better since it’s another week I won’t have to wait to get to Sheer Heart Attack. It also helps to have Shigechi’s character sink in so there’s that.

Anyway, let’s get to Cinderella.

Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 4- Diamond is Unbreakable Episode 13- Set Ups Galore

It only takes one episode for Joseph to somewhat make-up for the 16 years he wasn’t with Josuke, well, just a bit. Shizuka’s appearance doesn’t really do much but add a side-character and make up for Joseph and Josuke’s lost time and other than that, we move straight onto one of the other highlights of Part 4 involving our 4th man in the group, Rohan. But all that stuff comes next time so let’s get our little mini-arc out of here.
