Welcome back to Jeff Jeff's Bizarre Adventure, the number one podcast about JoJo's Bizarre
Adventure on game game spot, Giant Bomb, all those other Giant Bob I'm
just gonna lay it down garbage. I think you're gonna say, like your
number one podcast about Jeff's Jeff, we would have got one on this one.
There's probably loads of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure podcasts, right, sure, I'm
guessing so adventure. Let me cup it in podcast. I was specifically just
talking ship with the other Giant Bomb. JoJo's podcast just yet to start.
Yeah, yeah, those half those are terrible. Yeah, yeah, there's
one chord of garbage. There are a lot of JoJo's Adventure podcasts, and
let me tell you, we are better than every single one of them.
That's reassuring. I haven't heard them, but I'm just assuming that we are
better than them. There are some really nice looking art though out there for
these podcasts. I like it a lot. Anyways, if you don't know
what's going on, this is the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure podcast where we watched three
episodes per podcast episode and then recap it. Because of course, we are
joined by John aka super apatch Wolf. Heyden's havn't me. I'm good,
I'm good. I'm excited. Of course, if you've listened to the previous
episodes, you'll know that John and I have some John's got a lot of
experience with Jojo. I have a decent amount. But this is of course
the first time for Lucy and Jeff. Lucy, how you doing, I'm
doing all right. I'm very excited to talk about these episodes. Jeff?
Are you excited to talk about these episodes? These were a lot they were
gone on. Let's just get stuck into it with episode number seven, Sorrowful
Successor, which yeah, kind of yeah. I was gonna say, you
remember last week when we were talking about how crunchy roll and whatever would sometimes
spoil things, So this marks the first week I had a fucking battle with
the crunchy Role PlayStation five app. I think it was one of the worst
apps I've ever heard the misfortune to use. And you could quote me on
that crunchy Roll. It doesn't work. It's bad, it's awful. I'm
wired into the internet, like into my modem and my router almost said router
there, God help me. Just doesn't work. Just doesn't work. And
then I tried it on Xbox and it worked perfectly, and I was kind
of lamenting this to Tam and then midway through I remembered it was on Netflix.
Not only is it in better quality on Netflix, it just works,
but the Netflix, Like I was lucky that I read the description for the
previous episode because it spoils what happens at the end of that episode in the
episode description. So next as I was scrolling down Netflix to find them,
I was like just like squinting, so I didn't see what the hell was
happening. And it starts too on the latest season, so like you have
to scroll back up to the original season, so you like, but like
the the jumping quality is signardiculous, Like it's absurd. I'm like surprised that
crunchy roll has like allowed that to happen, because like it genuinely looks like
it's going from seven twenty to four K at times. What the yeah,
colors as well just looks so much more vibrant. It looks way better.
It looks I would recommend switching to Netflix if you can. So Netflix has
every single season. Yeah, it's got it's got all the seasons on the
Cool. Okay, yeah, so move over if you can say, John
Lucas told us this like three times. Yeah, I always forget. Yeah,
we're gonna start listening, dam so let's jump into this episode. It
begins in Tibet. We get we get the Zeppel origin story, which obviously
Zeppel badass training with Tom Petty on some just standing on a rope suspended in
the sky looks very treacherous. I've seen those like tiktoks of kids at the
beach, and you know they have those like tight ropes that they're standing on
and jumping. It looks difficult. So I believed that in this training.
I was like, yeah, that would make me prepared to believe that if
you did that long enough, you would obtain some kind of psychic power Like
yeah, yeah, exactly. And that psychic power is exactly what Zeppeli asks
Tom Petty to exhibit, because he's like, yeah, so can you tell
me where I'm gonna die, how I'm gonna die, and when I'm gonna
die? Please? And Tom Petty love how he rationalizes it too. He's
like, I just feel good, Yeah, how does it feel real nice
if you did that? Because purpose and I can live with myself to just
tell me. It's kind of like when you open Amazon Prime and you check
when your delivery is coming because you don't want to go anywhere else and screw
up. That's the most important thing. So he's like, I got this
thing I need to do, but can you tell me if I'm going to
die before that? Because if not, if so, I might just stay
inside, if you know what I mean, and wait for the post exactly
like prime, Yeah, exactly. And Tom Petty tells him he's going to
die in a chamber the reeks of death, and a child will open the
way and you'll release a chain the lion into the future, and then you'll
burn your own wounds. A cruel death awaits you. It's like very thorough.
It's so specific. It's like kind of the opposite of you know what
if you go to get your fortune told or something like oh see great fortune
or paint in your future. It's like Tom Petty's like, no, it's
the third day of September in this year, and this is exactly how you
will suffer before you die. I kind of like it because it's like so
as people who have like seen this trump many times. The thing that you
always expect is no, if I tell you, then it might not happen.
Way he needs to Yeah, this, no, Tompa, you don't
get as like, I look, you're fucking done, Like there's no point
not telling you regardless, And he says that later on as well. He
was like, well, if we had got her earlier, he still would
have been fucked, so who cares? Yeah, yeah. So then it
cuts back to the actual fight where we're fighting Tacas in the Green Goose or
gaspooing room and JoJo's still stuck in the collar. Tarcas has got some pretty
amazing moves, including Hell Heaven snake kills. This is what made me start
taking notes for this episode, because I was like, I want to remember
the exact wording of that move and possibly adopt it into my own battle repertoire
somehow. But what I say, both things in that well, it just
seems like hell Heaven. You can't put the heavens like from above and below
right, Yeah, I see he's killing he's killing Jonathan in the sky or
the ceiling, and he's killing as a pelly on the ground. So it's
all heavy. Shane Shane is the snake and the experience is killing killing.
Wow, Jeff, don't this, don't don't don't try and poke holes and
it's all air tight. Please forgive me for even doubting it. I mean,
god forbid. They call it UPSI Downsy that's season four. Meanwhile,
uh, fucking the Speedwackon is still being a Oh my god, I feel
like this episode was peak. Just yeah. I mean, well, like
Ario exposition man, you know, he's just like, I just need to
narrate this, I need to be useful everyone. He's like he's a shout
caster. Oh my god, I've got that written down in my notes.
As he's a rate hypeman. Later on, he quickly goes from being like
the notorious big to the puff daddy of this way. He's just in the
background going ah ah, tell him what's up. That's it. That's all
he does anymore. He's constantly screaming everything, Like everything ninety percent of the
things he says does not need to be screamed, but it does not.
That's what he's delivering, and I love it. So this is quite abrupt.
They kill off Zeppelli very quickly in this like grim it's not graceful death.
It's like squeezed in half by the changer. Right. There's there's a
couple of these, the threesome of episodes here. I don't know what it
is, but it's like, I feel like, whenever there's a battle sequence,
whenever there's not a battle sequence on the screen, my mind just purges
the violence from the show and I just think, oh, it's funny himbos,
you know, just being angry at each other but also being gentlemanly,
and you know, I forget about the violence. And then it's man gets
cut in half by a chain, and you know, and I was like,
it catches me spy surprise every single time, and I know it shouldn't.
One of the things I love about that moment is he gets cut in
half his brule and he like falls to the ground through the air, but
he lands and not even for a second does his hat fall off. I
genuinely wonder if it's like pinned on. Yeah, it does come off later,
someone takes it off, but it's just there. And his last moment,
Zeppeli gives Jojo his life force along with his ultimate what's it called deep
pass overdrive? Is that that's what I've written, I don't think that's right.
I think I might have describes it as like the remainder of his life
essence or something, but he transfers like his ultimate ability to him as well.
Yeah, like his finishing move. Yeah, he's finishing move. And
then Jojo stands up and starts ripping off the collar, and Talcas is like,
ah, not even I can do that, Not even with all the
power that deal gave me, I could do that. Yeah, And then
he does it, and JoJo's like, Bro, you have become very twisted
to Tarkas and you sold your soul to Deo. And in this moment I
want to point out, like John, I'm sure you'll notice, but he
Jonathan looks so much like kenshro So from Fist of the north Star. I
was like, what am I watching? Jojo has like open until this point,
kind of been lifting from Fist of the north Star a bit. It's
here where it just goes full on Fist of the North Star because it just
becomes about a shirtless karate man beating up someone bigger than he is, yea
very quickly and like decisively as well, which is I really love his line
here where he says, may history devour you for all eternity. Yeah that
when I heard that line, I was like I heard it in Saul calibernary
As because it is the same kind of energy, like a Tale of Swords
and Souls Eternally. Jojo is very sad that Zeppeli is pretty much dead,
and then zeppel replies by basically saying, stop being a baby, go and
fight. Deal. So everybody's aready given his life force, his body has
literally been cut in half, and he still has time to break Jodo,
which I like. It's like when you know, they say, like if
you cut a chicken's head off, it still runs around for like thirty seconds
after. Yeah, it's basically body. This was the head. I mean,
get used to heads just being existing. Now that he takes a really,
really long time to die. My favorite of Zappelli dying is when he
kind of starts off this this story and he's like, I had a wife
and child and I abandoned them. Yeah, And then I was I was
expecting like a kind of even like watching now, I was kind of expecting
it, don't be like me, Jojo, don't just waste your life on
hatred. But but he's kind of like and in hindsight that was the right
call, And in hindsight, I'd do it again. He didn't even say,
like my family, I wish I had abandoned them sooner. Yeah,
He's like, I'm down here in three pieces telling you that all this ship
was worth it. This is the best possible result for me. Maybe if
I had abandoned them earlier, I wouldn't been in this situation. Damn,
bro, you really hate your family that much. And then Zeppel like he
gets a bit teary eyedems like, Jojo, you're like both my son and
my best friend. You can't do that. You gotta pick one, bro.
Yeah, that's just two very different relationships. Yeah, and he says
that he's going to live on through Jojo, and then it cuts to and
then it immediately cuts to William Thackery quote, which is to love and win
is the best thing. To love and lose is the next best thing.
You know. William Zachery's full name is it William Zachary Thackery or something,
No, it's William Makepeace Thackery. Make Peace. His surname is one word.
Make peace. Sounds like a man who believed in things. Yeah,
in many things. Yeah, he's got a very lumpy face, as most
people did back in that time. Yeah, that's just how you came out.
I guess there's there's I love how Zeppili like completely turns into an old
man too, as he likes is going. He gets billboard. Yeah,
market here, rest in peace, Zeppeli. Fucking weirdo. Zeppel You'll be
You're gone, but you'll most certainly not be forgotten in our hearts. We
cut to the castle and there's a woman there begging for a life of a
child. This was soup. This was like this walk in that moral gray
area. It's not very gray. I feel like this was the first time
that this show kind of like gut wrenched me. Uh, similar to early
on and for whatever reason, there's certain things that just stay with me.
And in fiction, and there's an episode there's a comic I forget which issue
of The Walking Dead, but there's like a really brutal ass thing that happens
in The Walking Dead when they're like escaping the prison in the book, like
the baby so much doing. Yeah, and that's the same vibe I got
first second. It's a little more goofy here for sure, But yeah.
I was like okay. I was like, okay, Joe, Joe,
what are we doing here. So so the setup is Deo or the woman
is asking deal to spare the child, and he's like, I won't touch
the child as long as you convert to vampirism or be a zombie for me,
and she's like, please don't touch the child, and he's like okay,
Well he actually says okay, he does, yes, yes, and
then he converts her into a vampire, but she obviously her first act is
to eat the child. And he was like, technically, I didn't do
anything. Technically, Papa, I didn't do anything. I kept my ticality,
I kept my word, and I wrote in my notes hate to see
it, which is true. Yeah, your there's there's a bit here after
all this where he kind of looks at the woman and he's like, a
tragedy of your own choosing. And I really don't think that's what that was,
Deo. I don't think you understand, and I don't think this is
as clever as you do, buddy. So then we we catch up with
Joe, Joe, Speedwagon and Poco, who are off to find Dion.
I've written her Speedwagon. He's wearing a Pelly's hat, which feels mad disrespectful
to me. Disrespectful, but also what the fuck happened to his hat with
the blades? Yeah, he doesn't want it for a while. I guess
that's why they didn't. They didn't draw him with the hat and this one
because they wanted to emphasize Yeah, another get used to speedwagon and that hat
because he never takes it off ever. Oh no, we meet mister Adams,
who's super chill, and it's like, bro, Poco, what have
you been your little shit? And everyone's like ha ha, and like how's
my sister? And it's like this is a big man. You should get
home. And then the moment they like turn around, mister Adams unleash is
the biggest tongue you've ever seen. But before that, two more, okay,
my man moves like straight up moves. Do you not hear the cow
noise that comes out of mister Adams desensitized to moving in because of metal.
Something happens. They ask him a question. It's right before, it's right
before he like transitions it turns into the tongue zombie. But he says Polco
says something, and then mister Drums is like, it's one of those like
Japanese, but it's a cow no confusing it. He is basically the Japanese
anime equipment of Yeah, sure, straight up cow noise out of that thing's
face. It fucking gets me every time. How good you are at the
Home improvement noise? Oh yeah, I've never seen a single episode of Home
Improvement. I don't believe it. You nailed that. I've never seen it.
I've seen him doing that noise, but yeah, I've seen that.
I've seen Jeff Grissman read from his autobiography and that's all I've ever seen.
Let's keep it that way. So then the jojo basically makes short work of
mister Adams, and then we basically shows off that his newfound power combined with
Zeppel's power makes him super super strong. Then from the distance, new figures
appear and we are introduced to new characters. First, we met a character
with a rich tapestry who will be with us from many Yeah, it looks
like it looks like I've written down. He looks like a hair metal lad
and he jumps into the end, does an extremely slow kick, and then
it's very caught off guard when Jojo just headbuts him in the face and he's
like, what the fuck? And then he reveals that he's a friend of
Zeppel's and they went through twenty years of change trials together and training, and
then we meet their partner, Straizer. That fuck sake. So I've written
all caps. Firstly, what we have here is dire Strazer dire Straits.
Yeah, I guess that's what it is. That's what I thought. Yeah,
And then I also written like, Diet looks exactly like Alistair Smyth from
the nineties Spider Man animated series, which I did a double check, and
he does look like that with those like little like weird I don't know what
you call those, they're like little wings. Yeah, they're like weird wings.
But also like his head shape and the mullet or like the hair metal
style looks just like him. Wait, I'm looking up. I'm looking up
like Mark Knopfler, and he didn't really look like I either die or Strazer.
Does he? No? No, he doesn't. So Zeppel sent these
lads at our like it helps up please, And then Tom Petty is with
them there as well, and he's like where is Zeppel and they and Jogo's
and the speedwagon. He's dead, that's Petty not No, I understand he
told him. But Tom Petty looks at the at the moon the full moon
gets uncovered and he goes, oh, so he's dead. It's like,
oh right. Tom Petty also hasn't aged very much at all, and he's
meant to be old as fuck. And when they when we see him in
the flashback, I love the fact people he didn't know about Cepelli's death,
Like love, I'd love if they were like did you not predict that?
And he was like, oh no, no, I made that shot up.
Well he was. He was just annoying. Yeah. We were standing
on a rope up of a Tibetan mountain. I told him anything so we
could get off the dude things. I trained him in something called Hayman.
I'm not sure what it is, but I made that show. But then
he dislocated his shoulder. Uh. And then Tom Petty's like, damn,
even if we got here earlier, he would have died like a punk anyway,
so who cares? And then he's like, also, Dio seems super
powerful. And that's where we get the first pants of feeling not feel good
about this deal guy. Everywhere He's like, this deal guy seems like a
problem, this dude. And then it cuts to Deo lounging on in his
castle with like loads of roses and like weird small rat monkey creatures with with
like human faces on him, and oh, yeah right, I'm not I'm
not. I'm not ones who used the term freaks, but I was like,
oh my god, what's up with those little freaks? I hate them?
I hate them so one specific one. I'm with you guys until cat
Bird. Yeah, yeah, I love that being fucking rules. I would
I would love to have one of them. Yeah, reminded me of like,
you know, in blood Born, how you have the crow dogs.
Oh yeah yeah. I was like maybe maybe uh me Zaki was like,
what can I what can I do for blood Borne? What? What two
animals can I splice together? I guess I'm just sorry, Jeff No.
I was just gonna say the Kappard thing, which is at the start of
the next episode, right they it's just so like, I don't want to
call it lazy, because That's not what I'm trying to get at, but
it's just so funny how defined it is like, it's not there's no room
for confusion where it's just like Nope, it's the neck of a cat and
the body of a bird and that's it. There's no like. Jeffy had
a lot of zombies to make and I get point. At some point he
just had to start just together jam slapping animals again. I love it.
Jonathan is going to be here soon. He wants it to be weird.
Yeah, I need my army ready to shove these animals together. I would
like these roses because I want an ambiance. I haven't decided what the theme
is just yet, but we'll get there. There's also a woman there and
that's where the ending theme kicks in. It's very good, good, very
good good. Episode eight Bloody Battle Joejo and Deal. Finally we reach Hair
the climactic one of the climactic episodes of this battle. So it begins with
Poco getting his ass beeat for being an outlet, which is rough. Poco
a boy or a girl. It's a little boy, right, boy gets
a boy, but I feel like the voice actors maybe a lady. Sometimes
he has very feminine features. It's weird because there is actually another character later
on who's very like Poco and they're they're like gender is super ambiguous for a
while, so I don't know. But Poco's sister went out looking for him,
has not come back, and of course poco sister is the woman in
the castle with Deal being held captive, and Deal gets like even more creepy
than he already, is starting to like talk about her youth blooming, and
he's like what or something like that, Yeah, it's he was two months
ago. He was but playing rugby at school. Each kind of doesn't matter
anymore. I feel like with with these two like supernatural monsters. But yeah,
he points out that she's sixteen and describes her as pure innocent and then
the weird like dog faced thing she starts being super creepy and like starts with
being a bit of a perv and Deal just kills it, which is like
okay, fair enough. Oh yeah, what what does he say? Like
he's like be respectful, like there's no place here for people who don't have
manners or something, which is definitely a throwback to like some of that you
know, dinner table bulls. Yeah, yeah, Sada offers her the chance
to hold onto a youth and says he won't force his friendship on her,
which is I didn't. I don't understand what he was referring to that because
he it's like weirdly like it's rapy. It's very rapy. Yeah, certainly.
And she retaliates by just slapping his bitch ass, calling him a devil,
which is good. She draws blood, Yeah, she does. That's
a hell of a slap, by the way, you could draw blood from
a slap on a demon. No, I've never seen it, never been
slapped or slapped. I've been in slap fights with people, like funny slap
fights or you know, my youth. No one's ever bled. I just
unlocked a memory of being slapped, rock paper, scissor slap. Oh,
hang on, didn't you slap me, Lucy? No, I waxed you.
That's very different. No. Oh, Dave slapped me. Dave.
Dave slapped me and slapped me hard. Yeah. I think you guys have
hardly forgot about it. Yeah, it was. It was. It was
a fucking a milestone in a extra life charity. And we got the as
soon as we like said at this number, i'll be slapped. It got
there immediately, Wow, Okay, there's a lot about people. Every time
we would put the wax going on, people would always go people, people
love seeing me in pain. And you know what, I think people just
love that from like live streams and stuff like that. Yeah, And I
put a really obnoxious like alert from my Twitch stream and whenever i'd get like
a new sub and because and I did think it'd be funny, like a
couple of times, but for parts of that stream, it was constantly my
voice being like, oh wow, thank you for the subscription, and just
over and over and over. And I was like happy because I was getting
sobs, but I was kind of like, this is unworkable. I've made
a mistake. Will so so after after being slapped, deals like all right,
I'm out. But from above Pocos sister. They never name her,
right, They don't give her a name. They just she just sis right,
yes, yes, nature natun like this weird green goo falls on her
and she looks up and we have we are introduced to a monster, a
giant monster called Dubie. What is it? What is it? They call
it a bit infamous Dubie or I think I wrote it down somewhere here oh
no, the infamous Dubie Brothers and maybe my favorite part of this is a
deal, then follows up again Bye Mademoiselle leaves. He's he's really got the
bond villain, like I've trapped to you. I've set you up in a
scenario where you are gonna die, but I don't want to necessarily watch.
I'm just gonna let my minions do the work. At the minions fail every
time, every single time. It's great. He's about to doob He's about
to hurt Poco's sister when Jojo appears and attacks with an anvil to the face
like some fucking Warner Brothers cartoons like Coyote written on it. That's that is
some Looney Tunes as ship, which I love. Doobi also seems to be
some sort of a weird snake man. First thing, he's got like a
bag over his head with holes in it and snakes keep coming out. And
then when he reveals himself, I've written down that he looks like one of
the Titans from Attack on Titan, but with weird snakes coming out holes in
his head. I think Speedwagon shouts, oh no, the zombie is made
of snakes. Speedwagon. I appreciate that input. We should all have.
Like in Unison, just like looked over at him. They need to start.
I was like really hoping like they start treating him like fucking Roger from
Sister Sister, or like Jazzy Jeff from Fresh Prince, which like chucking him
out, or like go home Speedwagon. Jojo was super chill about this whole
thing. And he just in his hands and liked out the side of his
neck. Yeah, it looked like you just I don't know, like like
a kind of puff a fish a little bit. Just it's like when you
get like water in your ears at the swimming pool and you like hold your
nose and try to blow out. Yeah, but without trying. And like
Dire Straits and Tom Petty are very impressed by this. They're like, holy
shit, he's got a good, good command over his blood. It's very
strange. Okay, I think I wrote down exactly what he said because it
was such a ridiculous thing. Oh, someone says he's learned a lot about
blood flow in a very short time. That's what they say that. In
very speedy fashion, Doobie is dealt with it, gets taking care of so
fast and I put hair paws and have written. Can you imagine what Pocco's
system must be thinking right now with these four giant dudes up here looking buff
as hell and they're fighting like a weird zombie man. She has no frame
of reference for this. I've pissed myself. YEA A bit strange earlier if
I was Pocco's dad and watching these like four wrestlers just bring them home and
then in the door and he's all jumped up and terrified. We also,
yeah, I mean we didn't really talk about that, like, but speaking
of slaps, just the way Poco's dad just absolutely some maxim across the face
and then he's like, oh, but why are you so worried? Where
have you been? It's like Jesus Christ, the fucking flip on that,
you know. He's also like, yeah, and I'm gonna I'm gonna go
with them now too. I'm leaving where you gonna castle? Cool? It's
all I love that. There's also all of them stuff. Yeah, Also,
like all of them are standing outside while he's getting his ass beat.
Podas was getting his ass beat, which is like, come on, man,
not one of you had like the it's supposed to be like chivalrous.
Just have a look inside will save them from zombies and monsters. But Dad,
and there's his dadfairs the affairs of the home are off limits. Ye,
So Jojo and Deo finally meet, and Jojo says, I am back
from hell, and Deos like, I didn't want to have to fight you
and making you on dead doesn't please me, but I've under estimated you,
and he says, I love this line. I was too soft of an
emperor. An emperor has he only turned like one village? He's he's That's
the thing about Deal. He's like he's done half a day's work and he
thinks he's lord of the universe. I love that for him, like just
manifesting. It's like he's the kind of guy who makes one city on sim
City. And he's like, well, I was too soft of an emperors,
But I love that line. Deal. And then Deal goes on to
poke fun at Zeppeli being dead, which is brutal, and Jojo replies,
Deal, I must express my feelings. This shames me as a gentleman.
But truth be told, I Jonathan Joe Slaw will kill you to satisfy my
anger. Which is the most polite threat, the death threat I have ever
seen. I want to copy and paste that into Twitter and replies it's just
every That's what I love about all this is like every single character thinks about
what they're gonna do, says it out loud, talks about it while they're
doing it, and and then finishes up with being like, that's just what
I just did. Like everything, all three tenses of time are accounted for.
They how do they? In college they told me that writing my thesis,
I had to tell people what I was going to do, do it
and then tell them, So, I mean what, it's a very Also,
it's a very high brow show, isn't think about it like make a
point, give an example, and then something else. Yeah, that might
explain. That might explain where I never I never did very well. A
very academic approach to story coming from You'd love to see it. So they're
about to fight, but then Dire steps in and it's like because like there's
the real like brotherly exchange where it's like a two faced warriors arrived at their
right at the last second. Stars like Jonathan and White. Aren't you just
just just step back for a second? He he says something like I've earned
this right to fight this guy too. Yeah, yeah, you just you
just don't know. But I can I just say that this bit Actually,
I don't want to use the term annoyed. However, the fact that he
uses some ability to basically replicate himself and he doesn't call it sultans of swing
in any way really annoyed me. I was, like, the opportunity was
there, like you've got multiple of you. You could have done something,
or you could have Princess Bride music. I don't know. He doesn't even
use that ability no, and then immediately uses he's very slow flowing and deals
like, oh you've learned to fly cool, and then he does the slowest
kick. His ability is he's so slow that people are confused by he's got
drags the destroyer, like, yeah, he's got that energy, and like
he does the thing where he like he uses his legs to like split a
defense if someone's blocking with their arms, and then goes and uses a Hammon
wave in between that, which is like okay, and like it looks so
shit that Strazer has to jump in and been like no one's ever blocked that
just just it is very cool. It doesn't look so very I really love
that line when strays is like, no one's ever blocked that, because it's
like, well, no one's ever blocked that except for Jojo like seven minutes
ago. Yeah, remember like head buttoned him him. Yeah, vodos of
the fact that he just like has his legs wide open. And then my
first thought was, well, I would kick him in the balls. Yeah,
a percent head butt in the ball. That's not that's not very gentlemanly.
Though. Deo hits him with and freezes him in an instant and then
adding insult to injury, follows up with the hinjuku hingjack who like the one
too? Yeah, and then he shatters Dire into pieces. That's diog maybe
three minutes Dire. Is that like x Calm Recruit you lose on the first
mission? Yeah, that's that's the one that makes you turn off Iron Man.
Yeah. But before Dia goes out, he uses his mouth to throw
a rose at Dio's face and it cuts him. I had to watch this
back three times. Literally blink and you miss it. Yeah, it's right,
and his eyeball and it's scars Deo. And then Speedwagon throws his sword
Jojo Sword Pluck, which they once again show you the etymology of on screen
at InFocus. There's a little like visual Vinett about it, and it's like,
hey, remember two episodes ago where we added a pee in front of
the l to change the name of this sword, and JoJo's like, Dia
has given his life to show me how I can defeat you, which is
like I don't know, yeah, I feel like just Dio is super pissed
and causing his zombies, and Speedwagon says this this like showing of anger.
It proves that he's the worst person. And now that he's had a humiliating
taste of hummon, we see his real face. This is like he's butt
her about it. And then I wrote down that I love that. The
show then spends a bunch of time introducing three named enemies and then kills them
a second lay immediately. I didn't even write their names. Of them was
called one of them had like a really normal name, like James, and
he was like a snake headed zombie man. Yeah, but they're like they
take the time to say, my name is each and then Joe Jorge drops
like a chandelier on their heads and viscerates them and it was like, Okay,
you're done, and then I've written down. Speedwagon is there as a
commentator and fight promoter for some reason, because that is what his role becomes.
He starts like hyping the fight and talking about the stakes and l and
the entire time he looks utterly terrified and like on the verge of tears.
Oh wait, it's Page, Jones, Plant and borne out. So so
Robert Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and one of the other
rock people, Rockman Rockman from Capcom's stable is here, but they get killed
off so quickly. And then Jojo begins a fight by literally opening with pocket
sand, but it's not pocket sand. It's roses instead of sand, which
is incredible. And then Deo responds by doing one hundred hands slap to freeze
the roses. Roses don't stand chance. No, I'm sorry, but like
the way he like, Ehnda fucking does that another fist of the North Star
reference. It's gotta be because big moves. The slap. The rose slapping
is just so tight. He's just like you guys, you guys like that
particular style of movement. I'm going to call it. Yes, there's there's
a lot in the future of this show that you will enjoy slapping and wonderful.
I wanted to take can we slap more flowers in this series? I
wanted to take this opportunity, I guess just a little behind the scenes to
more. Takes super super detailed notes for every episode of JoJo's and it's really
impressive, Like I don't know how you watch it and get get notes to
this fidelity, And because at some point I started taking notes this episode and
they kind of I kind of gave up at this point. But can I
read you guys my Jojo notes? Yes, until now it Jojo notes.
Everything is lowercase hell, heaven, snake kill may historily devour you for all
eternity. Zippelli had a wife and child abandoned them, was right? Call
a tragedy of your own Choosing catbird by dire and Dio really kicked the ship
out of those flowers. Yeah, that's like watching just like the you know
how there's that Twitter account that does steam trailers in like fifteen seconds. That's
like That'sfeen second car, but it hits all the high notes of the episode.
I think it would be impossible for me to take notes if I didn't
understand Japanese and also couldn't touch type at the same time. Okay, so
I can. I can both look at the screen and type without looking at
the keyboard, and look at the keyboard and type without looking at screen.
Spect for this task, Yeah, I spect myself for transcrit the one day
four of us would gather. I've been He's been training for this for years.
Master Tom Petty told him, Yeah, told me. He also told
me when I'm gonna die that's a week. Yeah, it sucks. This
is sadly the last, but at least you can do that type of thing.
So Joe, Joe cuts THEO in a half, also cuts his heart.
Yeah, oh yeah, using his sword pluck, which is luck with
a pete and kis you had forgotten I think had that tattooed on them.
Do you think, oh, pluck with the luck, but like a tattoo
of just the word lucking like a typeface and then a bloody key. That
great tattoo. John, can you can you google? Because I'm afraid to
do it. I'm going to google it, Joejo has to be real.
I've just written it into the into the dog Dog Joe Joe Joe. Pluck
tattootoo someone lost some time. Yeah, someone has a tattoo of the sword
yet, but not just the word pluck with the pe written in blood.
This this doesn't cover everything. It can't. Someone out there's got it.
Someone's going, oh my god, there's like Poto shops this, which is
just the word fuck in that. I'm gonna put it into the chat.
But it's very funny. That's great, great for an audio podcast, but
look at the hilarious visuals. Jojo cuts Deo and half a deal, but
then it's frozen halfway through cutting, and somehow Deo is alive and he sticks
his fingers into Jojo to pull out the way the way he fingers it,
Yeah, looks like he's like just passing it through his finger tips and he's
like, this is one of the most important arteries in your in your body.
And he says like it's sweet and soft. He says something squeegee,
and he's like, I'm gonna transfer I'm gonna exchange your blood with my vampiric
essence. It's like extremely horny. Jeff, there was a conversation. Maybe
we had an off podcast where you were telling me how you just you don't
generally like gory things, and I was like, no, there was a
couple of things this time around that had me like, hmm, maybe maybe
maybe here this definitely knocked on the ceiling a little bit of like where I'm
comfortable with. It's maybe it's not even gory, it's just extremely unsettling.
He's like just holding rendering one single like artery and just putting it in his
hands and he's gently Like the way he fingers it and touches it is very
upsetting. That color of pink that it is, Yeah, very disturbing.
I also wrote down like Deal's delivery of lines here is just incredible, Like
his his supreme arrogance and the theatrical way he delivers it is just so on
point, Like he just just one moment he like makes you hate him like
tenfold more, which is so good. He like became the strongest vampire alive.
But but then like lost the ability to sort of like plan but it
will cost oh, no, my project management skills for you know, for
the thirst of blood instead. Yeah, and then Jojo basically realized that he's
he's stabbed through Deal and he's put the other end of his sword Pluck unless
you forgot the name of the sword, into a flame, which is directly
behind Deal. And because the sword is now conducting heat, it's melting the
flash frozen limbs that he's got, and then he realized that's happening, and
then he hits Deal with the sunlight yellow overdrive. How do you feel about
that bit of science? Jeff tracks air time, air tip, every everything
about it. Yeah, just aside from like a half cutting a half half
cutting. Yeah, man, right, who's just basically this is cut in
half. I would like to change it for one that is not cut in
half. He's also noticed like the parts where he's cut in half are just
like cosmic, like like you know the T one thousand when they cut the
T one thousand and half, and yeah, it's like metal but it's similar.
But it just looks like his lava and him. It's it. He's
just got like a nebula and like it's floating through his inner It's it's the
it's the of a spider from Double mac ray one. It just looks like
that inside him. It's like Phantom. I was like, I remember you
from Devil macroy one, so so sorry mistaken here. But this sunlight over
drive he hits him with, is this the one where he's set his fist
on fire or has that yet to come? No? No, this is
the standard. This is the standard sunlight over drive, not the ex sunlight
overdrive as I call it. So Deo just reattaches his severed arm music,
which is pretty gross. Yeah, and he also like pushes his two halves
of his head back together and then like from the side and then from the
top of just talking through a while, and he's a little offset, he's
a little off center, and he kind of goes and he just does it.
It's like when you've got like a bookshelf and some of the books have
sloted slightly, and he just put his one finger to just string it slightly
and everything all is well again, good as new. Yeah, And it's
fine unless he does that. And then he hits Jojo with I put quote
many moodahs and then says and then says, hammon sucks. And then Jojo
a monkey, Yeah that you like, doubles down on the monkey thing totally.
He's like, he's like, monkeys are stupid, just like humans.
And then this is where we get the upper cut John the spinning upper cut,
during which he sets his hand on fire using the flame, and it's
basically Ken sure you Ripper from Street Fighter? Yeah, and I saw it
and I was like, I've seen that many times and I had to pull
that move off and Deo is unable to block it. That's on fire and
what do you do? Yeah, yes, it's on fire. And also
the hammon that being is being channeled is sunlight energy, so it's super effective
on Deal a vampire, and Deo takes that face the show. It's just
scientifically sound, scientifically water tight, really solved lodgic. I'm going to flash
freeze every piece of moisture in your body. Yeayeah okay, and a touch
yeah, Like that's gonna hurt, but it adds up. Yeah, it
makes perfect sense. Uh. And Deal starts to to disintegrate basically as he
falls to his doom. And then last I like blinked for a second and
missed this. Did he fire lasers from his eyes? Yes? He did.
That's a big lazy that's purely set up for a thing that he does
later, just so it's not it was actually I don't remember him doing that
in this doing that, Yeah, exactly. It misses Jojo, but it
cuts through a whole building because it doesn't it go through his hand. Oh
yeah, because he says, if it was a little bit closer, it
would have been No, no, that's later now. Yeah, I think
it does it twice gotten by that its cuts through the sky. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, that's a deal. Falls to his doom and Jojo sheds
a single tier for his ball and fallen brother, his balling brother. Yeah.
And then Speedwagon fucking holds up Zeppel's hat and he's like, we did
it it sex Speedwagon? What the fuck did Speedwagon? We? Yeah?
We this was already help in there, bro fucking shout Costing in the background
and sledgehammer. Yeah. Uh cut to episode nine, so real quick think
of that episode, that fight. Yeah, I thought it was great,
I really, because you know what it is with this show is I feel
like this show has a thousand finales, Like every episode has a cliffhangary,
like there's nothing else we can do like that. You know, it's like
putting it all on the table every single time, figuring out a way to
like right itself out of the thing it has cornered itself into. But I
thought it was good. Yeah, I enjoyed it. It felt it reminded
me of Episode three a lot. Yeah, but yeah, I enjoyed it.
Yeah, I really enjoyed it. But it's also it's like kind of
feels a bit like not the hero's journey, but you know, it's like,
oh, you've you've come out over these you've surpassed these unsurmountable odds,
and then it's like, how are things going to go back to normal?
But yeah, I don't trust that deal. I don't think it's gonna go
back to normal. So I just really wanted to see how it would wind
up. Yeah, but I really like the episode because it's like it's fucked
up. Yeah, and I really appreciate when it does lean really heavily into
that. It's it's interested in watching it back because like battles and fights scenes
like become a really big part of Jojo, Like there and Iraqi really like
dials in the way he writes them, and like the little stories that kind
of float through the fights and everything, and it's interesting kind of I guess
knowing that and watching this Jonathan and Deo fight and it's kind of nonsense like
it's kind of like Deo can Freezier. But then Jonathan puts sword in the
fire, and then he sets his hand on fire and he punches Deal and
it's like it's kind of just all over the place. And as it's really
interesting, I guess like it's going to be really interesting watching how that kind
of develops and changes as it goes on. Yeah, in terms of like
sophistication, it feels like he what we're seeing now fights up basically marry apart.
Yeah, like games, and then later on they feel more like,
oh, this is a chess game wits. That's interesting because now with these
two fights, these two epics sort of battles between the two of them behind
us, I feel like your conditioned to believe that it kind of just whatever.
It just nothing really matters. Right for me, I'm like, oh,
I just want to know how deals now gonna like, how they're going
to bring him back, because you know they're going to bring him back.
After you watch this, you're like, all right, well, what are
they gonna do now? I mean, you find out how they bring him
back literally in the next Tide. Totally, I was like, Okay,
let's see this, you know, fucking tale they're about to spin. Did
you expect this? We'll get into it, but like, okay, let's
just get into it. Episode nine is called the Final Ripple, and it
begins by giving us the final moments of Dio's life that we saw from JoJo's
perspective in the last episode. So as he's falling to his zoom, we're
like with him this time, and Dio is kind of willing himself. He's
like annoyed that his reign has ended prematurely. He is, of course again
one town, yeah, one town, but he is an emperor, self
proclaimed, but he's willing himself to just do something about it before the hammon
reaches his brain. And what he does is sever his own head. He
just pops his head off his body and and then it drops to the ground.
And then from the distance you see little servant lad he's one of his
little along Cronyn. Yeah, we eventually get someone that we get his name,
which is incredible, of course, Yeah, this is my favorite.
Yeah, he this little goblin servant picks up Deo's head and says, if
only he had a new body, which is a very normal did you the
head? That idea is that what you've done there? Did you? Did
you expect that this would be the way Deo's journey would continue? No?
Not in like some sort of handkerchief. Yeah, that was it, Not
to bring it back to terminator two again, but I will you know the
bit where like they're in the he gets flash frozen and then the heat from
the furnace melts him and he slowly gets back together again. I thought it
would be something like that for Deo, like just a little bits, like
maybe the little tendrils coming out and just reattaching his his bits. But in
a normal anime. I think that if it was a normal writer that wasn't
Iraqi, this would be the next arc is some other low level villains figuring
out a way to resurrect deal and then spending that arc like setting up the
the occult ritual that brings him back. But not in joy. He's still
kill the head. Didn't kill the head. Yeah, you didn't kill the
head. You've got to take out the head. Filmy he had a new
body. Yeah, if only he had a new But according to the eighteen
eighty eight London Press, thirty three people went missing in the wind Nights incident
that we just witnessed. Reports also indicate that a man was seeing destroying a
mask with a hammer. Of course this man was a Speedwagon. How did
other Speedwagon get Yeah, he's he's basically run onto the soccer football pitch.
The ball is already in the goal and he's run to the goal and kicked
it back in and been like victory. Victory is just like I do look
that detail about like a man was sputted, because it's like some reporter on
site just being like, what's that man doing over oh here? I gotta
say I did not expect my feelings for Speedwagon to turn in the like I've
one eighties on that guy so gnarly like I was. I love everything that
he would do, And now he won't stop fucking screaming all the time.
Shut up Speedwagon, and as we'll see in a few minutes where he like
thinks he's missed saying goodbye to Joe. Joe, my man is like freaking
out running all over London screaming about. It's like this dude just needs to
relax. I never thought that I would hear Jeff Backler say shut up Speedwagon
and shut up, oh my god, and then Also, Jonathan and Arina
get married and take off on a honeymoon to America, which makes the news
some reason in the newspaper, like no one else knows what's happened at when
nights, no one else knows why Jojo is important or who Arena is,
and yet he's the newspaper. Strange man smashes stone mask and on a completely
separate note, these two people are getting married. He's got married and leaving
for America. But I guess Lucy's point is correct, Like it would be
like if Bruce Wayne suddenly got married. Yeah, because yeah, the Joe
stars are like that, you know, famous family, right, Yes,
I believe yeah, yeah, And they're like we have Speedwagon who's like,
oh shit, it's today. After reading reading the news story about them getting
married, and he runs off to the ship where he wants to say goodbye
to them, And we're also introduced the character who's off to Mexico on the
same ship called father sticks called sticks right, Yes, there's a reference to
the sticks. Yes, sailing And then suspiciously, a group of people are
carrying something very heavy which an Asian man has told them to load onto the
ship, and then it looks like a coffin but also kind of chest and
then it gets real class and then know he hears, be cool, we're
trying to smuggle you. Sorry, sorry, yeah, don't make any deo
noises. Just be cool. And he's like he's like, he's like,
what are you fucking Scooby doing? Like he's this little head in this giant
he must be rolling around and could you not make this coffin squarkle on the
outside to that is suspicious? Really stop it. I love that. It's
just I love the idea that Deal cannot resist making himself known by weird noises.
So good maybe just for him, maybe he doesn't care what any of
us taking. It's like that kid who's like, like, set up a
practical joke but then gives the game away because they can't stop thinking about how
funny is and they're giggling and their parents are like, what the fuck have
you done? Like it's obvious you've done something. I mean that Deal,
he's a scam of a scap. But of course we don't know if that
is Deal inside there. We just have heard the noise. I really,
So there's there's one other thing, Speedwagon, Right, He's like saying goodbye
from the dark, and he's screaming up at at Joe Joe, and and
then uh, he says something to the effect of basically that Carol Kings song
where he's like, he's like, whatever happens, I'll stop what I'm doing,
I'll come running. He recites the chorus of that's song, which is
amazing. So on the ship of course Jojo and Aerina who are off on
their honeymoon, and the ship sails away, but below the deck is the
chest slash coffin in sunlight, sparkling. And then on the deck a lone
bird separated from its flock lens in front of Aerina, and she's like,
oh, birds, and if it was a catbird. But and then a
second bird appears and it's like basically puts the second bird, puts his arm
around the first bird. It's like we're in a relationship. Don't look at
my bird, and is so overcome with emotion. Yeah, the tears begin
to pour down her face instant, the tears of joy because if it wasn't
clear, she is in love. And JoJo's let yo, I will protect
the world you live in, not just her. He's like I'm going to
protect the world you exist in, just to protect you. Anyways, let's
go have dinner. Oh shure, I've hit my head on the roof of
this fucking look at me. This man is like gave, like like he's
he's still kind of a dufus under it all, you know, yeah yeah,
and like he's he's clearly like nervous around her, even though he's just
defeated a fucking vampire lord an emperor, vampire emperor. Meanwhile on the ship,
what is that? It's just like, oh, this is way worse
than the Yeah, yeahs can we incorporate metal into our combat? It seems
real hard. Father Sticks, being an absolute dickhead, drops his crucifix into
the engine room. My favorite thing is where he's got the wine in his
hand and he's like, why must you test me this? Oh Lord,
why must you make me drunk and make me drop my possessions through this great
onto this? It's like all right, and then Aarona gets on the swigs
for the first time first ever? Would you hang on? What what if?
I mean? She's like eighteen nineteen yeah, but like wine wine is
her she She also doesn't take a sip my girl takes a gloss, she
takes a gulp. Yeah, she really gets into it. And then like
big, that was a dumb and dumber effort. It's only a twenty five
year old. So Aarona takes her swig and then Jojo like does the react
to something behind her like sheer terror. And it's because Jojo spots in the
distance that creepy Asian goblin man who grabbed Dio's head. And I'm just gonna
do the name reveal now please because it makes sense. Please. His name
is Wang Chun okay chang. All right, so everybody have fun tonight.
You know, everybody have fun tonight. Because Jojo realizes immediately that deal is
because Wang chan chan his hair. That means Deo his hair and alive.
And in dramatic fashion, he stands up and drops the glass of wine and
tells Aarona to go hide, and then legs it and don't forget to lock
that. He's like, lock your door, your door. Deal can't get
through those deal. You have to invite. This vampire that can shoot laser
beams from his eyes is going to come after you. But as long as
that door is locked, close, Yeah, you're safe, Jojo runs downstairs
to find Deal in full future on my head and Joma, it's a beautiful
it's incredible. It's it's incredible, and Deal says that he despised Jojo,
but he respects his courage, his spirit and his power now, which is
like, okay, it's basically I am a vampire ahead and I think,
but game recognized game, and you've fair play for getting me the situation.
But also, I'm gonna need your body like I need your body. That's
the whole thing. The pitch is like, I'm going to have your body
like I think. I think your legs are shapely and I would like to
have them, but I'll take the rest of your body. To thank you,
I would like to take my face off and put it on your body.
That is that is what he wants. There's zombies on the ship.
Leads also, oh yeah, because what does he say, Like he only
bites, he does bit one and then and then like yeah, he I
think Wang Chung wang chan bit of someone and then it's spread and then like
there's an explanation happening. But it does like the you know, the Batman
style like transition from the from the eighties, but it's that, but it's
slower, and it's Deal's face coming towards us, which is like very creepy,
and I forget about that. This is a bit weird, but I
like it. Then this is where Deo brings back his crazy eye laser,
which we saw in the previous episode that was clearly set up so that he
could do it here and it be explained properly. He conveniently uses that to
stab Jojo in the neck and air and I sees all this and it's like
and then Deal looks at it, and he's like, you must be very
confused and speechless by all this was like right now, yeah, and he's
like, didn't Jojo tell you about me, the mythical inhabitant of the underworld.
It's me Deo. Yeah, you remember were kids and I was a
massive prick. I'm still here being a massive prick zombie. I'm just in
ahead now, Yeah, I'm ahead now the zombie starting. I also loved
that when he fires a laser out it just breaks a small area around his
eyes instead of the entire job. Very well, yeah, it's it also
gives him like a superhero made Yeah, like a lot. I would have
loved to see him just put like that kind of mask on later on.
But zombies are out there killing people, including a baby who a woman who's
holding a baby who falls down some stairs. And this is two for two
with like women and babies. I don't know if Iraqi had something going on
or just I don't know it. Just are two for two this one.
This one was wasn't as bad, ye pretty, you know, messed up.
I don't want to give too but there might be multiple fights with evil
babies at some point. Okay, oh, I believe it, brilliant.
Oh babies are evil? Yeah, because of their lasers. Jojo can't breathe,
which means no harm one for you. I want to I want you
to Supernati approach. That not so for you, no harm on for you.
Wang Chan starts talking about Jojo, but like Deo is like, please
put some respect on. I love that, Like we got him, boss,
let's get him. And then Deo is like, buddy, don't be
disrespect like, yeah, we're going to kill him. Don't be weird about
know how we got here? Do you know what happened? Just is very
much put some respect on my my homies name and it is right because like
he's in that situation because Jojo did what his asked pretty comprehensively. But Jojo
manages to summon a small amount of hum on and he's like, but also
I think I shopped myself or like something tears inside him, but he doesn't.
He says, I felt something like really, I've been in that position
where I was like I just tried to fall, and I clearly he's either
himself or or he's got himself Herniah. Yeah, I thought they were gonna
like go back to whatever that was. They kind of just looked, But
I think that was like the beginning of like, oh, he's not going
to make it out. Yeah, that's that's when I was like, yeah,
and he's not. This is the end for or Jonathan. And then
Dio's head flies out of the jar and he realizes that Jojo is manipulating Wang
chan Chans. I'm just calling a wan chang all right, everybody have fun
tonight. Yeah, body just so that he could stop the ship moving,
which basically like detail, Yeah, he's basically body blocking the pistons and gears
of a ship, which he's yeah, putting a lot on Wang Chans like
bodily integrity, which is we could have could have maybe done it one line
where it's like, it's so lucky that this zombie was into bodybuilding. Yeah,
it would have been amazing if feel like ripped his show off. It
was like Master Race Dragon Ball and he's like fucking brolick as hell and you're
like, oh, okay when but yeah, he like grabs one of the
pistons or the gears or something like that, and there's a build up of
pressure. So JoJo's idea is the build up of pressure eventually will lead to
an explosion, which again that's not how ships work. But whatever, let's
get Scott. Let's just carry on because this is I think I think Iraqi
did his research time. Yeah, yeah, I think I regret saying that
I'll take it back. Jojo tells Erina to piss off, but she's like,
no, I want to go out with you. I want to go
down with the ship because I love you. And then Jojo just like points
over a shoulder at the child who's still alive from earlier, who got the
mother being killed by the Zambies and Aaron. He tells Erina that, like
she needs to keep living and Erina replies, your words are too valiant.
You want me, and He's like, She's like, you want me to
save the child and escape, but your heroism is cruelty. My only wish
is to die with you, which is like you're the best, but also
I want I want to die right by your side. So Joe's basically let
go and save the kid, please, because you know that woman died to
save her child, just like my mom did. If it wasn't clearly don't
know her, you didn't know her? Yeah, and even did we really?
But JoJo's mom died to save him. And Dio, meanwhile, is
a floating head just on the roof. Yeah, it's like of the if
you if you, if you were a flowing head, you would just hang
you would to hang up the vantage one shot where he's like climbs up to
the roof and his hair shoots up and grabs like the pipes, and for
the for like just a couple of seconds, he has like Marge Simpson hair.
It's I had to rewind it and pause it and I was like,
wow, look at how does he get so much volume? I've just got
Jojo in my head saying an a deal in my head, saying Jojo in
Marge Simpson's voice, Yeah, I'll hang Jack. Who with you, honey?
I just think it's me say yeah. Deo is flowing head, stuck
in refusing his hair, and he's like nothing will stop me from living,
and he tells the zombies to eat Wang Chun to set free the pistons,
but his way too late. She starts blowing up, and Jojo throws himself
in front of Erina. Jojo, who couldn't moved a minute ago, throws
himself in front of Erina and takes Hella shrapnel in his back, and Deo's
like, actually, I've prepared for an explode. Oh yeah, this kid
withstand so many and busts. Yeah, He's like, I've well, he
said. He grabs JoJo's body using the tendro as it starts to try and
take it over and says he's going to retreat into his the coffin, which
he describes as he calls it his bedroom, which I really love, so
he does call it comfortable without like actually having seen the episodes. Dio is
a little floating head in the sky and they're slightly I guess half guts,
half tentacles coming out the bottom of his neck, kind of like an octopus
and grappling with this one hundred and ninety three centimeter englishman. Yeah, it's
very important to get the measurements. But I always feel like his. I
always feel like his. His coffin thing is sort of like a poke bowl
and he's, you know, like a pokemon. He's got room to stretch,
relax, protected from the larger inside than it's from the outside. It's
like tardest energy sardios, like, yeah, of the coffin bedroom thing can
withstand withstand blasts. And then Jojo uses the shrapnel in his back to cut
the tendrils that Deo has used to latch onto him, and then he just
kind of like clutches Deo's head close and coddles it, and he reminisces about
their history together and deals like far, I can't do anything about this.
You can see he's like, yeah, panicked eye movements like and it's like,
ah, I can't do anything against this love. Yeah, And then
it's a bit weird, but Jojo tells Arena then to just be happy,
and Deo's like, let me go, bro, I need to live forever.
I can heal us and you can live with Erina and Jojo is by
then extremely dead while holding onto Dio's head, and then we get an obituary.
It says February seventh, eighteen eighty nine, the day Jonathan Joe Star
died. How did you feel in that moment where you saw definitive he's dead?
Actually, I was surprised because, uh, the season's like twenty eight
seasons long, number one, number two. I feel like he's been through
worse, worse shit happened to him, that has gotten the best of him,
and him just sort of like getting captain some some trapnel on the back
and kind of punching over did not seem that bad. No, I just
felt like he was gonna be fine, Like classic anime thing. He'd spring
back, he did, he'd tap into some secret hume on or someone would
be on the boat, or maybe he passes his life force or something to
Arena and she does it. But we don't know what. We don't know
what's gonna happen. Yeah, that was has has no head. Okay,
let me put it this way. In a series called JoJo's Bizarre Adventure,
do you think they're going to kill Jojo exactly. I mean, well,
so here's the thing, though, there's other information that comes out right,
like you sort of understand, you know, especially at the end the Stinger,
at the end of episode nine, they like tease, what happens next?
Do they? If they did? I mean, yeah, you can
say it. It's basically so they basically make it like, so, so
what I thought was gonna happen is Jojo is gonna and Arena were going to
be in the coffin when the ship exploded. But it's just Arena and the
baby. And then he was like, yo, you're you're the next Jojo
to the baby. And then and then it's Jojo in New York. Interesting,
interesting theory, baby theory, baby Jojo. Well, they well they
end up in the Canary Islands, right, which is lovely. It's time
of year. So to wrap up the episode, ship blows up. Ship
happens, Yeah, ship happens, Shift happens. Aerona lives on and has
the baby with her in a coffin. She's rescued two days later, and
for a time the Tale of the Stone Mask has come turning. But a
new adventure is about to begin, right, and that is the end of
part one, Phantom Blood, Did you show a creature? Right? They
show some they like cut to some Aztec ruins, some kind of there's a
figure man stone, a man in case in stone yep, and then Roundabout
begins to play. And that is the end of Phantom Blood, end of
part one, end of part So is that the one? Is that?
That? That all those nine episodes of that, that's what's been distilled into
that sort of movie type thing. You're one one and a half less.
I think it's the one and a half hour movie, feature length, a
feature length movie like speeds through it up until that point. Speed. But
yeah, that is the end. How do you folks feel? I was
furious then we had to stop blast. Like I wrote it in Discord,
I was like, I'm angry that I'm stuffing here. I have to watch
Euphoria now. That's not nearly as fun. That's a tough pill. I'm
I'm just psyched how invested I am now, and I'm just in it to
win it. So I don't know how long. I mean, you know,
I know I'll easily be able to get through the next arc that they
do, right, which is I don't know. That's good to hear.
But they were teasing, yeah, and they were teasing Jojo in New York,
and I was like, oh, okay, like I'm walking are Yeah,
he's just gonna He's gonna make it happen there. So it's very exciting.
This was This was a really solid little arc they did here for the
I like fund some glue. I think it's like it's charming and there's cool
things about it. I don't want to like oversell the next season, but
to me, it's like we've done the tutorial, yes, and now it's
no week we get going. It is very much First main Quest energy like
it is, and now you're into the open world. Yeah. So I've
seen this part as well, and I remember pretty much all of it,
and it is somehow wackier than anything you've seen before. I believe that I
have to ask if the band names continue good, we're about to hit the
let's just say the names never stop, only get more intense. They get
more intense. Yeah, you wait until the spice Goes are introduced. Kidding,
You're not, No, you're not. I feel like the second half
of this arc, I started laughing out loud at this show and I'm looking
the way you're describing the show, not at the show, Please be clear.
Yeah, I mean a little. That's has been a point. I've
always been a little soft on. I can never tell if I'm laughing with
it or at it. I just know I'm having a good time exactly,
So it kind of doesn't matter. It's it's not meant to be a disrespect
either way. It's just sort of, you know, there's things that happen
in the show where I'm just like, come on, you know, like
that guy is up, which is great, it's great fun, and hearing
how you're teasing the next part two is just like, oh, let's go.
I'm excited, and you know, like even I think, like one
thing I kind of talked about with Jojo sometimes is like it is so silly
and it's so such a wild show, but it does occasionally with these moments
of sincerity and like, I don't know, something about Jonathan like kind of
deciding to still see the good and Deo after all, that kind of gets
me a little bit. Like I think, I think it's he is such
a sweet character and he is so incapable of accepting that there's like evil in
the world or something I don't know. I just yeah, that's been always
like it always she does kind of hit me a little bit, you know,
mm hmm. Yeah, he's the mark of a true gentleman. Yeah.
Yeah, he is like both I don't know, idealistic and naive to
a fault. Yeah. And yeah that is that is like he's just the
sweet little idiot. Yeah, just can't It's like it's it's it's it's him
whamming himself on the door. It's like he's just he's pure. That's it.
That's what the doorframe is. He's like his just sort of like way
to find somehow to apologize to the demon. He's the epitome of a himbo.
Yeah, that is what this show is about. And now we get
to see him in New York or do we or do we we get to
go to New York though. That's always fun. Oh, I can promise
you it's very fun. Oh yeah, I'm excited to see because obviously it's
like it's still going to be the Japanese take on New York. And so
like we've we've like Tam and I have got to see the the and New
John like the Japanese take on London and Britain, I guess. And now
it's like, Jeff, you get to see you get to see what it's
like in like I guess, you know, eighteen ninety five or whatever the
fuck right, Like was it eighteen ninety nine when he died. Yeah,
yeah, Because that's the thing. It's all because we haven't had really any
technology involved in this. It's been you know, swords, plucky swords,
and I don't even think there's been like guns or anything, but you know,
and it's all been very those guns, the cops had guns. But
now it's going to be you know, it's turn of the century, the
industrial age. I'm excited to see what they do with that. Totally.
It's it's it's Joe, Joe's red dead, redemption. It's time. Oh
There's so much I could say to that sentence, but I'm just yeah,
I was. I was gonna over to you yesterday. I'm sure I was
going to kick it over to you, John and say, like, is
there anything you want to tease without giving anything away all? But I think
you will care for I think I've said enough. I think I've said enough.
Yeah, I think you've said a lot about where where it's going and
it's going to be exciting regardless. But yeah, if you're listening to this,
thank you. That was the first arc complete of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
