As for the D'Arby fight, yeah I agree with the points. I have a personal preference towards a lot of the fights in part 5, but D'Arby is still a great fight (if that's the right term) either way.
I actually dislike the D'arby fight because it felt incredibly lame to me, but I do agree that character arcs exist in jojo. (My favorite being Josuke 8's)
i actually agree how jojos is one of the best when it comes to timing their music,,, just look at how viral giorno's music has gotten,, it always plays at the right moment which hypes up the scene so much,,, I've consumed à fair share of shows where scenes couldve been better if the music was just timed right

Darby the Gambler is absolutely one of my favorite episodes. Huge agree that it's one of the best fights in the entire series. Though I think there are a few fights that are on its level or surpass it for different reasons. Stuff like Metallica vs King Crimson or the entire Bites the Dust arc
Hey, D'Arby is my favourite "fight", too! Glad to see another man of culture. I would actually go further and call Star Dust Crusader either my favourite or second favourite part. Not because of necessarily being the most well written, but because I enjoy the globe-trotting adventure aspect, and not the way Battle Tendency did it, I mean that it had this faraway goal that was defined at the beginning and the chartacters worked to get to. It's good that not every part is like this, and I really appreciated the change of pace that was DiU, but the only pther part that could replicate SC's journey-feel for me was, well, you already know exactly which one it was. So for me SC is definitely top 2.
Nice video! It's hard for me to choose one favourite episode or fight but this one is definitely one of my favourites. It's nice to see other people appreciating it as well.
I haven't watched Jojo, outside of the legendary Dio vs Jotaro and Road Roller scene, but this fight does seem like a welcome change of pace since this as you say, this is an enemy that Jotaro over here can't simply "ORA ORA ORA ORA" the hell out of to solve the problem.
Hot take: "Let's go eat some Italian food" is far and away the best episode of the series purely based on the fact that it perfectly capitalises the comedy of JoJo,is incredibly wholesome and also has one of the best twists in the series. You spend the entire episode thinking Tonio is an evil prick only to find out he's just this really happy guy who only wants to heal people by cooking for them
What I love about Jotaro is that he doesn’t need much development and any done is much more hidden. Any development are the seen in the small details rather than “THROUGHOUT THE DAYS, I’VE GROWN FOND OF MY OLD MAN. WHAT DID HE USED TO SAY?”. Part 3, as it’s purpose was to be an adventure, as in spending time with the characters, learning more. Kakyoin and Polnareef develop because it’s part of their character as we know it. Every reason they both act the way they do to the lads and villains is because of their past and purpose. Jotaro needs less development as he himself like Jonathon has already grown, and that’s fine as it just means we get to spend more time with the crusaders as they are at basically their prime.
14:35 Since you complained about the weird choice of music plays in the OVA version, and I'm a avid fan of the OVA, I'm gonna defend it: It may sound weird just using that single clip out of context but that music piece plays through the whole Jotaro vs Darby gamble; The more the poker game progress as those two outwitting each other and finally end with Jotaro pressuring Darby, the music start getting more intense, climaxing at Darby having mental breakdown, the soundtrack plays the most intense and dramatic. The whole track had written specially for this fight. While the anime use somewhat of situational soundtracks that can be use in other scenes outside of the Darby fight, as long the script demands. Plus, Macro D'Ambroiso's music is cool as hell given the 90s vibe, heck, the OVA's OST is severely underappreciated. And I'm gonna say it: OVA version of Darby fight is way better than anime in term of atmosphere.
Yes ! Definitely yes ! And this fight is also probably the direct ancestor of Yu-Gi-Oh ! , Kaiji and No Game No Life. Thank you Araki for really be THAT genius !
I love this video personally my favourite fight in jojo is a spoiler for steel ball run I can’t wait for steel ball run to get a anime just gotta wait it out
For me jojo is a fine show so far, I don't remember a whole lot of episodes, but this episode definitely stood out and may gonna remember just because how different it was from the rest. The show has it's highs and lows, and this episode was 1 of the highs for sure. Altho on which episode I liked the most... no clue for me this just ran in the background and occasionally glimpsed at the episodes and just generarly know what was happening.
I’ve been saying that the first Darby fight is one of the best for a while it’s truly a masterpiece and is part of the reason why part 3 is my favorite
And this is why the Jotaro vs. Dio fight is the best, because it takes both the fist-slinging of the normal fights in conjunction with bluffing, mind-games, and big-brain plays and throws ‘em together in a glorious symphony.
I like the preceding fight; Joseph vs D'arby. Everything was perfect; the OST, the tone, Joseph fighting a professional gambler who cheats, *everything* went right. This fight builds on that slightly, though I do agree it was a good fight because D'arby would've ended part 3 had he won against Jotaro.
Jotaro: meant to not have emotion, always the quiet kid, but deep inside he has emotions, he just hides it because is fun to be cool -Also said by Araki himself West “fans”: OMG HE BAD CHARACTER
Jojo may not be the best anime ever, but it has one thing a lot of mediocre animes don't have: It's just fun to watch. Even when they go off the rails, it does so in a way where it's still interesting to watch.
While I agree with just about everything else you said, I really gotta disagree with your take on how its older and should be viewed differently cause of that. Good writing is good writing, and since we as a civilization have found modern footing and kept it for the last many years basically all stories that were written at least within the last 50 years shouldn't be seen any differently. At some point we as a people hit a point where any writing going forward would be of a similar quality to everything else, and since society is so well established the stories themselves won't age or look worse with age anymore. A good story is a good story, and no amount of years would end up taking away from that anymore
I might be late to the party, but here are my thoughts. I never really got the fight the first time I saw it, but then I realized how smart this was. With Jotaro constantly bluffing, going as far as to bet the souls of himself, Kakyoin, Avdol and even his own mom, older D'Arby was freaking out. We can assume that he already saw The World in action, because Jotaro effortlessly getting himself a drink and lighting a cigarette in the blink of an eye is disturbingly similar to The World's ability to stop time in his eyes-he's pretty much fighting against another The World. So he's stuck between a rock and a hard place. Either fess up to the Crusaders and die by DIO, or succumb to the hands of Jotaro and his Stand, The World: Grape Flavor. And of course, he takes the easy way out and just dies right there. I hated Jotaro in this part until the Lovers arc, the fight with N'Doul, and this episode. He gained my respect afterwards after that.
I think that the "actually, his hand was reeeeeally bad" was extremely predictable, but the rest of the fight was pretty good Mostly, it just felt kinda "meh" to me because of the context in wich I watched part 3 Before starting part 3, I saw that there were two part 3s (in crunchyroll. yeah, I didn't watch much anime before Jojo), one was named just "stardust crusaders" and the other "SC: egypt arc", and I imagined it was like "wow, there's normal SC where Jotaro goes fight DIO, and then SC: egypt where the group is in a completely different adventure (like those bad continuations) and I expected it to be bad like... *cough cough* SAO *cough* so I was ready to skip it if it was bad, so I stopped thinking about it and started watching part 3 They were getting close to egypt, Avdol was back and all I thought was "they're gonna get to egypt, find DIO real quick, defeat him in an epic battle and call it the day" Final episode of normal SC and they weren't even IN egypt yet and I thought "wait... I didn't watch 30 episodes of battles that are for the most part easily forgettable (do you remember what was dark blue moon's attack? Like, how could he make those attacks, cuz me neither) to get another 30 episodes of the same? (I didn't know the egypt arc actually had memorable fights, I even looked to see if there was any unmemorable fights (according to my phone, unmemorable is an existing word) and only saw fights that were actually good and more memorable than whatever dark blue moon did) So yeah, my experience with the D'Arby brothers fights wasn't the best because of how long this part is, wich is a reason why I prefer part 1 and 6 (individually) over 3
Before any mad kid says anything, part 1 is good, it's just not better then the others, wich doesn't make it bad or not fun to watch, and part 6 is even better (in part because it has stands), having a good story (I'll try not to give much spoilers), the whole thing of "White Snake" and "Snail rainbow guy" story is pretty interesting, having literally no one to blame the characters for becoming evil, different from Dio, for example, who had his father turning him into a bhole by raising him in a toxic environment. and the ending, it's just amazing From now on, there's only stuff that only makes sense with the context of the part, so it isn't spoiler 24/7 but it doesn't make sense if you didn't read it, ok? Now taking about the bad stuff, yes, I'm aware about Joline, and I agree, she's a pretty bad written character, she cared about stuff, but at the same time she didn't care about anything nor anyone, and the way she's almost completely forgotten in her own part is just... I was trying to use any word that wasn't "bizarre" to describe it, but it's really just bizarre Man, after MiH appears, all she does is say "hey Emporio, could you, like, run away in that dolphin, WS is giving us a really hard time" and vanishes BUT, I will try defending the last fight by saying that MiH was NOT the whole battle, there was C-moon, a fight where Joline was completely present MiH was just the end of the battle between Joline and WS, it's just like gang vs Diavolo, Giorno vs Diavolo wasn't where the battle started, it was the part of the battle where it ended, there's was more to this fight, we could say it started somewhere between Polnareff vs Diavolo and gang vs silver chariot, then it ended at GER vs Diavolo, and that happens in other parts, like "Kakyoin vs DIO" and "Hayato vs Kira" Here it works at the same logic, it starts at Joline vs C-moon and goes to Kid/snail rainbow guy vs WS, MiH is the part where Joline is done fighting with the other heroes So that's it, part 6 ending is good and was fun to read :D I like thinking about this stuff, I really like Jojo
I feel like I'm the only one who REEEEAAAALLY liked Battle tendency, and wished Jojo worked more off of that. I get it, I Rly like stands, they're super cool..... But Jojo part II is just REALLY fucking awesome
In all reality Dragon balls fight outcomes aren't predictable I can guarantee nobody thought frieza goku and 17 would beat jiren together or trunks would beat black etc regardless it's meant to be cool visually action pack and fun to watch
Giorno not being quirky funny boy doesn't hurt part 5 imo. Also Jotaro in part 3 is arguably more "bland" than Giorno whose whole character is about not showing weakness and hiding his true motives.
Jotaro's character make sense Some people just hate him and Giorno because they are not "funny" And would be really annoying If Jotaro's personality was the oposite a cry baby who let his enemys knows about his motives, he would be basically another Polnareff but worse I think Jotaro is more interesting but Giorno have a better plot
My favorite fight is Buccellati vs king Crimson, because they both lose and they both win. Bucellati wins in the sense that he saves Trish and tells everyone how King Crimson works, but loses in the sense that he dies in the process. Diavolo wins in the sense that he killed Buccellati, but loses to his own cowardice when he's unable to bring himself to reveal his face despite the fact he could've killed them all in that moment.
The episode was also a big plot twist because up until then Bruno's gang had risked their lives to deliver Trish to her father but everything changed in a single moment when Bruno realised that his only task was to keep Trish alive so that the Boss could kill her himself . To Bruno , there was nothing more sacred than family and that's why he protected Trish , the daughter of the same man who destroyed Bruno's own family , so that at least she could live happily . But after realising how easily Diavolo was planning to get rid of his own daughter , something inside him snapped . Years of pent up frustration of being unable to stop the drug trade because he had to protect his father , blew up and caused Bruno to act rashly which led to his death . But he was brought back to life by Giorno , the boy who gave him courage to stand up against the boss and the corruption in the mafia . Bruno had already accepted his fate in his battle with King Crimson and saw the rest of his life as just a second chance given to him to help the boy , Giorno , achieve his dream . So when he saw a chance during the Battle for the Arrow , he repaid his debt by giving up his life and ascended to heaven , gently floating through the air , guided by the Golden Wind . This fight was the biggest character developing moment for Bruno
I liked how Star platinum moved so fast to light a cigarette and a to get Jotaro a drink. Must of really freaked out older Darby since he knows that Dio can stop time.
While Jotaro vs DIO is the quintessential Stand battle, Jotaro vs Daniel J. D'Arby shows just how much of a role mind games will have in Stand battles going forward. It's the best Part 3 has to offer that isn't just memes.
I’ll admit, while the D’Arby arc isn’t my favorite fight to come from SDC (that’d be Iggy and Polnareff vs. Vanilla Ice), it’s still an amazing fight due to being a very atypical shounen fight by not even having any fistfighting or brawling. Instead, it’s just a battle of wits in order to see which character can outsmart the other, and truly shows just how smart and badass Jotaro can truly be at times. Even if part 3 has its issues, it’s arcs like this (along with the aforementioned Vanilla Ice fight, the fight with N’Doul and Geb, and especially the finale, Dio’s World) that further cement why it’s my favorite Jojo part (at least if we’re only counting the animated parts. If we venture into the manga, it’d of course be part 7, if my pfp didn’t already give that away.)
Now that you've mention it I did sometimes forget that the manga is actually over 30 years old at this point and some parts (in some aspects) are a reflection of its time.
The two things they have in common is that they aren’t the typical stand battles (and in fact, Tonio’s story is not even a battle) but they are just as exciting as if they were strategic stand battles.
@@guilhermefranco2930 I was open to hearing a different opinion on jojo but he obviously wasn't paying any attention.

It seems like he made the video half-assedly and more of a response to jojo fans that annoys him rather than the actual show.
@@NaNa-wy2tk yes. How other videos tend to be scripted and funny but I don't know what happened with this one. He said it himself it was going to be an unscripted rant but Jesus. But his tiger videos are good, I swear
@@guilhermefranco2930 His prequel video was really terrible as well, either he just rehashed the points Plinkett made without substantiating and all of his own points were absolute nonsense
I mean, so did Boingo's episodes and the Stardust Crusaders didn't even have to do anything to win because Tohth completely sabotaged Oingo and Hol Horse...
OH HECK YES. That episode is such a stand-out, even among Jojo’s fights. It perfectly conveys what makes these fights good in that yes, not a single punch is thrown. It’s all about mind games. Not to mention, the fight also gets to show off how each character involved thinks, as well as how much of a freaking cool guy Jotaro is. It also builds up D’Arby really well, making him seem so intimidating while, again, he poses no _physical_ threat to our main characters. He would definitely lose in a straight-up brawl, but because he catches Polnareff off guard he’s able to shift the battle into one more in his favor.
Funny. I actually guessed your favorite episode before you revealed it. The reason why I guessed it is quite simple. It was the most memorabe episode for me too.
Well to be perfectly honest my favorite fight would be the Civil War Fight in part 7 but unfortunately that won't be animated until years from now so as far as anime goes it has to be Metallica vs. King Crimson
I feel pretty alone on this earth when I say I hate Risotto vs Doppio. It seems like such a cool fight at first, but then you think about it for 5 seconds and realize how contrived it is that Risotto did not insta-kill Doppio the moment the fight started. Fixing the fight in my mind would require laying more restrictions on how Metallica works, because as it is, Risotto could just form a spike in Doppio's brain and be done with it. Or in his heart. No reason is given why he can't do this, so he only loses because he's too much of an idiot to use his ability to its fullest. It's not a well written fight at all. Metallica was so powerful that the only way Araki could make the fight work was to have Risotto just not use it intelligently.
Mama Mia. O thought they were gonna do a twist when he enters the kitchen and everyone laughs things off, but they didn’t, and then they show a dog frocking have its organs explode... then they did the twist. They tricked me when I expected the twist to happen but then didn’t but then actually did happeb
My favorite in the series was always True Man’s World (reason why I have Ringo as my pfp) simply due to that mix of action and tactics involved, and how much of an impact it had on the Steel Ball Run Duo. Some great character development, a damn good antagonist, and beautiful philosophy on the nature of life. And yeah, Cosmo’s video gave me a headache like no tomorrow. JoJo isn’t perfect, yeah (granted, most complaints people have are explained in-universe), but his criticisms were disingenuous and flat out incorrect at times. You can’t just fall back on, “It’s just my/his opinion” when the opinion has very inaccurate information and poor generalizations. Like seriously, if you just watch the show, you’d know that not everyone character in JoJo is the “cowardly badass” (and the fact he used Polnareff and Narancia there pissed me off; both are some of the bravest dudes in JoJo despite being goofballs!) or “stoic badass” archetype ; that there are character arcs; that the deaths aren’t for “shock value” when there is in-universe reasons for them happening that make sense. Criticize the show for facts, not false information. Great video, Kamen! Jotaro Hate is real dumb, especially when the whole point of this journey is that he’s growing more attached to the group, that he’s very emotional despite his stoic demeanor, and that he almost does screw himself over multiple times due to his anger (like how he was straight up going to ram his fist through Steely Dan “so fast that the Stand won’t activate”; or during the DIO fight; or him being an ass just to everyone).
Some of Cosmos content isn’t bad and I relatively like some of it. However he can be overly pretentious and downright condescending which kinda overall ruins most his reviews for me. The JoJo one was especially an extremely weak video by him. He kinda contradicted himself saying how much he loved 1,2 and 4. AND enjoyed the Dio vs Jotaro fight.
I’ve always been confused by his quality check. Sometimes, it’s above and beyond and is a superb video, and then there’s this. And this isn’t the first time. It’s happened many times so o wonder wether he just can’t be asked or rushes some of them
Ight, time to see if your opinions are right or if I have to hit you with a "Ding dong, your opinion is wrong" Edit: yeah, your opinion is very valid, I loved that fight
My favorite fight without any consideration on the quality and just how much I enjoyed it is Hol Horse and Boingo. Even though it wasn't really a fight. Best fight in terms of "objectivity" in my opinion is Vanilla Ice VS PolPol and Iggy. and Dio VS Jotaro.
My favourite episode was Wamuu vs Joseph, because it really did show how Wamuu is a fair fighter, even killing people of his own army just to make the fair fighter
I actually really like his videos. He shares most of the same opinions as me. However, I didn't agree with his take on jojo. And I don't think he hates jojo. It was just for the title. He loves parts 1,2 and 4. Hates part 5. Is neutral towards part 6. Likes some stuff of part 3.
The best fight in jojo to me is Doppio vs Risotto for obvious reasons. High tension, good back and forth, and my favorite characters with cool ass powers.
@@moderncrusader1150 The train stuff was pretty good, but honestly during the second half of The Man in the Mirror I got confused and kinda burnt out. I also find the Giacco fight less than memorable and I keep forgetting Melone in general
16:56 It also helped that Capcom released arcade game which spawned one of the oldest western Jojo's memes of all time, the Za Warudo/Knifes/Road Roller Da WRRRRRRYYYYY combo which I'm sure I'm not alone in that being my first exposure to the franchise.
I love how towards the end, Jotaro just goes “But I didn’t know I had such a worthless hand.Good grief, If I had known, I would have freaked out.”
Fully agree

What I love about Jotaro is that he doesn’t need much development and any done is much more hidden. Any development are the seen in the small details rather than “THROUGHOUT THE DAYS, I’VE GROWN FOND OF MY OLD MAN. WHAT DID HE USED TO SAY?”.
Part 3, as it’s purpose was to be an adventure, as in spending time with the characters, learning more. Kakyoin and Polnareef develop because it’s part of their character as we know it. Every reason they both act the way they do to the lads and villains is because of their past and purpose.
Jotaro needs less development as he himself like Jonathon has already grown, and that’s fine as it just means we get to spend more time with the crusaders as they are at basically their prime.
I FUCKING KNEW IT'D BE THE POKER MATCH
BEST FIGHT IN THE SERIES
A BATTLE OF PURE WITS
Yes! Thank you!
These were my fav episodes just cause they were great lol
14:35 Since you complained about the weird choice of music plays in the OVA version, and I'm a avid fan of the OVA, I'm gonna defend it:
It may sound weird just using that single clip out of context but that music piece plays through the whole Jotaro vs Darby gamble;
The more the poker game progress as those two outwitting each other and finally end with Jotaro pressuring Darby, the music start getting more intense, climaxing at Darby having mental breakdown, the soundtrack plays the most intense and dramatic. The whole track had written specially for this fight.
While the anime use somewhat of situational soundtracks that can be use in other scenes outside of the Darby fight, as long the script demands.
Plus, Macro D'Ambroiso's music is cool as hell given the 90s vibe, heck, the OVA's OST is severely underappreciated.
And I'm gonna say it: OVA version of Darby fight is way better than anime in term of atmosphere.
God, I though I was the only one to think this episode was one of the best. And it literally change my perspective on Stands.
Yes ! Definitely yes !
And this fight is also probably the direct ancestor of Yu-Gi-Oh ! , Kaiji and No Game No Life. Thank you Araki for really be THAT genius !
I'm a Jojo fan and I can for sure say that older Darby's fight scene is pretty amazing! one of my faves too.
I love this video personally my favourite fight in jojo is a spoiler for steel ball run I can’t wait for steel ball run to get a anime just gotta wait it out
For me jojo is a fine show so far, I don't remember a whole lot of episodes, but this episode definitely stood out and may gonna remember just because how different it was from the rest. The show has it's highs and lows, and this episode was 1 of the highs for sure. Altho on which episode I liked the most... no clue for me this just ran in the background and occasionally glimpsed at the episodes and just generarly know what was happening.
I’ve been saying that the first Darby fight is one of the best for a while it’s truly a masterpiece and is part of the reason why part 3 is my favorite
And this is why the Jotaro vs. Dio fight is the best, because it takes both the fist-slinging of the normal fights in conjunction with bluffing, mind-games, and big-brain plays and throws ‘em together in a glorious symphony.
I like the preceding fight; Joseph vs D'arby. Everything was perfect; the OST, the tone, Joseph fighting a professional gambler who cheats, *everything* went right. This fight builds on that slightly, though I do agree it was a good fight because D'arby would've ended part 3 had he won against Jotaro.
I love both d'arby fights, I thought they were one of the only fights in part 3 that held my attention
Jotaro: meant to not have emotion, always the quiet kid, but deep inside he has emotions, he just hides it because is fun to be cool -Also said by Araki himself
West “fans”: OMG HE BAD CHARACTER
Jojo may not be the best anime ever, but it has one thing a lot of mediocre animes don't have: It's just fun to watch. Even when they go off the rails, it does so in a way where it's still interesting to watch.
Ah yes, the Darby fight. That one is one of my favourites.
My favourite is “Let’s Go Eat Italian” but this was 2nd.
I just knew this video was gonna be about the Darbie fight.
While I agree with just about everything else you said, I really gotta disagree with your take on how its older and should be viewed differently cause of that. Good writing is good writing, and since we as a civilization have found modern footing and kept it for the last many years basically all stories that were written at least within the last 50 years shouldn't be seen any differently. At some point we as a people hit a point where any writing going forward would be of a similar quality to everything else, and since society is so well established the stories themselves won't age or look worse with age anymore. A good story is a good story, and no amount of years would end up taking away from that anymore
Thank you for jobby
I might be late to the party, but here are my thoughts. I never really got the fight the first time I saw it, but then I realized how smart this was. With Jotaro constantly bluffing, going as far as to bet the souls of himself, Kakyoin, Avdol and even his own mom, older D'Arby was freaking out. We can assume that he already saw The World in action, because Jotaro effortlessly getting himself a drink and lighting a cigarette in the blink of an eye is disturbingly similar to The World's ability to stop time in his eyes-he's pretty much fighting against another The World. So he's stuck between a rock and a hard place. Either fess up to the Crusaders and die by DIO, or succumb to the hands of Jotaro and his Stand, The World: Grape Flavor. And of course, he takes the easy way out and just dies right there.
I hated Jotaro in this part until the Lovers arc, the fight with N'Doul, and this episode. He gained my respect afterwards after that.
@@Mangakamen That's great to hear! I finally feel like a JJBA fan after I read all the way up to Jojolion lol. Was it because of Cosmonaut's video?
You know I was not expecting to see you mention Cosmonaut.
I actually really like his videos. He shares most of the same opinions as me. However, I didn't agree with his take on jojo.
Was that a Otaku Daikun reference?
GO AHEAD...MR JOSTUR
Part 4 is not about josuke. It’s about Koichi
It's both.

lol I liked when joesph called him barbie.
@@Mangakamen who is your favourite character?
@@Mangakamen nice
When Jojo became Kaiji
thank god im not the only one who thinks this episode(s) are the best
Subbed. I agree with basically everything you said.
God I love the Darby fight
I think that the "actually, his hand was reeeeeally bad" was extremely predictable, but the rest of the fight was pretty good
Mostly, it just felt kinda "meh" to me because of the context in wich I watched part 3
Before starting part 3, I saw that there were two part 3s (in crunchyroll. yeah, I didn't watch much anime before Jojo), one was named just "stardust crusaders" and the other "SC: egypt arc", and I imagined it was like "wow, there's normal SC where Jotaro goes fight DIO, and then SC: egypt where the group is in a completely different adventure (like those bad continuations) and I expected it to be bad like... *cough cough* SAO *cough* so I was ready to skip it if it was bad, so I stopped thinking about it and started watching part 3
They were getting close to egypt, Avdol was back and all I thought was "they're gonna get to egypt, find DIO real quick, defeat him in an epic battle and call it the day"
Final episode of normal SC and they weren't even IN egypt yet and I thought "wait... I didn't watch 30 episodes of battles that are for the most part easily forgettable (do you remember what was dark blue moon's attack? Like, how could he make those attacks, cuz me neither) to get another 30 episodes of the same? (I didn't know the egypt arc actually had memorable fights, I even looked to see if there was any unmemorable fights (according to my phone, unmemorable is an existing word) and only saw fights that were actually good and more memorable than whatever dark blue moon did)
So yeah, my experience with the D'Arby brothers fights wasn't the best because of how long this part is, wich is a reason why I prefer part 1 and 6 (individually) over 3
Before any mad kid says anything, part 1 is good, it's just not better then the others, wich doesn't make it bad or not fun to watch, and part 6 is even better (in part because it has stands), having a good story (I'll try not to give much spoilers), the whole thing of "White Snake" and "Snail rainbow guy" story is pretty interesting, having literally no one to blame the characters for becoming evil, different from Dio, for example, who had his father turning him into a bhole by raising him in a toxic environment. and the ending, it's just amazing
From now on, there's only stuff that only makes sense with the context of the part, so it isn't spoiler 24/7 but it doesn't make sense if you didn't read it, ok?
Now taking about the bad stuff, yes, I'm aware about Joline, and I agree, she's a pretty bad written character, she cared about stuff, but at the same time she didn't care about anything nor anyone, and the way she's almost completely forgotten in her own part is just... I was trying to use any word that wasn't "bizarre" to describe it, but it's really just bizarre
Man, after MiH appears, all she does is say "hey Emporio, could you, like, run away in that dolphin, WS is giving us a really hard time" and vanishes
BUT, I will try defending the last fight by saying that MiH was NOT the whole battle, there was C-moon, a fight where Joline was completely present
MiH was just the end of the battle between Joline and WS, it's just like gang vs Diavolo, Giorno vs Diavolo wasn't where the battle started, it was the part of the battle where it ended, there's was more to this fight, we could say it started somewhere between Polnareff vs Diavolo and gang vs silver chariot, then it ended at GER vs Diavolo, and that happens in other parts, like "Kakyoin vs DIO" and "Hayato vs Kira"
Here it works at the same logic, it starts at Joline vs C-moon and goes to Kid/snail rainbow guy vs WS, MiH is the part where Joline is done fighting with the other heroes
So that's it, part 6 ending is good and was fun to read :D
I like thinking about this stuff, I really like Jojo
I clicked just to see if he would say any other episode, but we got a bullseye.
10:29 actually i think they only censor the cigarette in the us version
While It's FAR From My Favorite "Figth" I'd Like To Hear What You Think Of The "Blue Hawaii" Arc
I feel like I'm the only one who REEEEAAAALLY liked Battle tendency, and wished Jojo worked more off of that.
I get it, I Rly like stands, they're super cool..... But Jojo part II is just REALLY fucking awesome
In all reality Dragon balls fight outcomes aren't predictable I can guarantee nobody thought frieza goku and 17 would beat jiren together or trunks would beat black etc regardless it's meant to be cool visually action pack and fun to watch
Ah the copyright free JoJo intro music
Not to mention that d'Arby is voiced by Joker(p5) in the English dub. xD
If this video doesn't become foo fighters introduction episode once it's aired, ima be pissed.
If you like the Darby fight you should watch Kaiji an amazing gambling anime
Let's be honest, we knew which one it's going to be
Is that Sonic 06 music I'm hearing, cause I got dropped back to when I was 10 when I noticed it
It was star Platinum this whole time? Why did nobody tell me this
Every opinion is rigth as long as its not the babystand one.
Tbh I watched JoJo out of spite since Cosmo (don't remember the full name) made me want to punch him in the face
Giorno not being quirky funny boy doesn't hurt part 5 imo. Also Jotaro in part 3 is arguably more "bland" than Giorno whose whole character is about not showing weakness and hiding his true motives.
Giorno is a more interesting character.
@@poolturtle5772 agree
Jotaro's character make sense
Some people just hate him and Giorno because they are not "funny"
And would be really annoying If Jotaro's personality was the oposite
a cry baby who let his enemys knows about his motives,
he would be basically another Polnareff but worse
I think Jotaro is more interesting but Giorno have a better plot
I like this
My favorite fight is Buccellati vs king Crimson, because they both lose and they both win. Bucellati wins in the sense that he saves Trish and tells everyone how King Crimson works, but loses in the sense that he dies in the process. Diavolo wins in the sense that he killed Buccellati, but loses to his own cowardice when he's unable to bring himself to reveal his face despite the fact he could've killed them all in that moment.
The episode was also a big plot twist because up until then Bruno's gang had risked their lives to deliver Trish to her father but everything changed in a single moment when Bruno realised that his only task was to keep Trish alive so that the Boss could kill her himself . To Bruno , there was nothing more sacred than family and that's why he protected Trish , the daughter of the same man who destroyed Bruno's own family , so that at least she could live happily . But after realising how easily Diavolo was planning to get rid of his own daughter , something inside him snapped . Years of pent up frustration of being unable to stop the drug trade because he had to protect his father , blew up and caused Bruno to act rashly which led to his death . But he was brought back to life by Giorno , the boy who gave him courage to stand up against the boss and the corruption in the mafia . Bruno had already accepted his fate in his battle with King Crimson and saw the rest of his life as just a second chance given to him to help the boy , Giorno , achieve his dream . So when he saw a chance during the Battle for the Arrow , he repaid his debt by giving up his life and ascended to heaven , gently floating through the air , guided by the Golden Wind . This fight was the biggest character developing moment for Bruno
I liked how Star platinum moved so fast to light a cigarette and a to get Jotaro a drink. Must of really freaked out older Darby since he knows that Dio can stop time.
While Jotaro vs DIO is the quintessential Stand battle, Jotaro vs Daniel J. D'Arby shows just how much of a role mind games will have in Stand battles going forward. It's the best Part 3 has to offer that isn't just memes.
And also is one of the most most high stakes battle that has basically no plot holes compared to every other battle having a plot hole or 2
@@pian-0g445 What fights?
Yes but it’s the adult version, Yugi is still like 3 but everyone else is adults get acts like children half the time
I’ll admit, while the D’Arby arc isn’t my favorite fight to come from SDC (that’d be Iggy and Polnareff vs. Vanilla Ice), it’s still an amazing fight due to being a very atypical shounen fight by not even having any fistfighting or brawling. Instead, it’s just a battle of wits in order to see which character can outsmart the other, and truly shows just how smart and badass Jotaro can truly be at times.
Even if part 3 has its issues, it’s arcs like this (along with the aforementioned Vanilla Ice fight, the fight with N’Doul and Geb, and especially the finale, Dio’s World) that further cement why it’s my favorite Jojo part (at least if we’re only counting the animated parts. If we venture into the manga, it’d of course be part 7, if my pfp didn’t already give that away.)
A Mental Battle almost destroying Persons of Mass Destruction
That is the kind of 3Dimensional character interaction I live for!
Yo Vanilla Ice hit so different than any villain in part 3
Now that you've mention it I did sometimes forget that the manga is actually over 30 years old at this point and some parts (in some aspects) are a reflection of its time.
"...because while Dio has a clear power advantage over Jotaro"
*So it's the same type of stand as Star Platinum*
That meme doesn't really disprove Dio's power advantage from vampirism and longer time stop
This better be about "Let's go eat some Italian food"
Nah, just edgy teenager bullying an old man with gambling addiction
@Gaming_Master - no the other one
Thats actually my favourite episode of Part 4 lol, I love Tonio
The two things they have in common is that they aren’t the typical stand battles (and in fact, Tonio’s story is not even a battle) but they are just as exciting as if they were strategic stand battles.
Who’s gonna tell him
I just realized how much Osiris looks like handsome Squidward
Oh my fucking god
Lol, that was the first thing I thought when I first watched it last year
*Sees Cosmonaut*
"Oh no, not him again..."
I actually really like his videos. He shares most of the same opinions as me. However, I didn't agree with his take on jojo.
@@guilhermefranco2930 I was open to hearing a different opinion on jojo but he obviously wasn't paying any attention. The most ridiculous(/stupid) is him thinking fugo has a calm personality..i'm sorry, what? It seems like he made the video half-assedly and more of a response to jojo fans that annoys him rather than the actual show.
@@NaNa-wy2tk yes. How other videos tend to be scripted and funny but I don't know what happened with this one. He said it himself it was going to be an unscripted rant but Jesus.
But his tiger videos are good, I swear
I've stopped watching him s long time ago.
@@guilhermefranco2930 His prequel video was really terrible as well, either he just rehashed the points Plinkett made without substantiating and all of his own points were absolute nonsense
I like to describe Cosmonaut as the "oof" of UA-cam. Mainly cause his takes on a lot of media just give you the urge to let out one big "oof".
Kamen: *Makes Jojo Video*
Me: YES! YES! YES! Oh my god...
I see Kamen’s a stand user of culture. He appreciates the D’Arby episode as well.
The 80s(?) OVA made sure I was aware of JoJo
Even read manga!
It was incredible in both new anime and the OVA
This episode was so good it even got its own outro
I mean, so did Boingo's episodes and the Stardust Crusaders didn't even have to do anything to win because Tohth completely sabotaged Oingo and Hol Horse...
it did?

@@easiestcc6451 ...but this isn't the oingo boingo episode
@@easiestcc6451 reply ^
OH HECK YES. That episode is such a stand-out, even among Jojo’s fights. It perfectly conveys what makes these fights good in that yes, not a single punch is thrown. It’s all about mind games. Not to mention, the fight also gets to show off how each character involved thinks, as well as how much of a freaking cool guy Jotaro is. It also builds up D’Arby really well, making him seem so intimidating while, again, he poses no _physical_ threat to our main characters. He would definitely lose in a straight-up brawl, but because he catches Polnareff off guard he’s able to shift the battle into one more in his favor.
Funny. I actually guessed your favorite episode before you revealed it. The reason why I guessed it is quite simple. It was the most memorabe episode for me too.
Something tells me that you're going to do a debunking video about Cosmo's opinion on jojo aren't you?
this is kamen we're talking about
@@Mangakamen thank God I love you
Well to be perfectly honest my favorite fight would be the Civil War Fight in part 7 but unfortunately that won't be animated until years from now so as far as anime goes it has to be Metallica vs. King Crimson
Where Risotto Nero almost beat The Boss, if it wasn’t for the fact that GioGio’s team was in the area.
Well look what we found here
@@poolturtle5772 Bruno vs grearfull dead and beach boy was dope
I feel pretty alone on this earth when I say I hate Risotto vs Doppio.
It seems like such a cool fight at first, but then you think about it for 5 seconds and realize how contrived it is that Risotto did not insta-kill Doppio the moment the fight started.
Fixing the fight in my mind would require laying more restrictions on how Metallica works, because as it is, Risotto could just form a spike in Doppio's brain and be done with it.
Or in his heart. No reason is given why he can't do this, so he only loses because he's too much of an idiot to use his ability to its fullest.
It's not a well written fight at all. Metallica was so powerful that the only way Araki could make the fight work was to have Risotto just not use it intelligently.
Having read up to near the latest chapter of JoJolion, the Greatful Dead/Beach Boy fight in Part 5 is still my personal favourite.
Remember his name D'arby which I would love to spell out D-A-R-B-Y.
Dee ae arr bee yei

@@pian-0g445 sounds about right.
My favorite in the series was always True Man’s World (reason why I have Ringo as my pfp) simply due to that mix of action and tactics involved, and how much of an impact it had on the Steel Ball Run Duo. Some great character development, a damn good antagonist, and beautiful philosophy on the nature of life.
And yeah, Cosmo’s video gave me a headache like no tomorrow. JoJo isn’t perfect, yeah (granted, most complaints people have are explained in-universe), but his criticisms were disingenuous and flat out incorrect at times. You can’t just fall back on, “It’s just my/his opinion” when the opinion has very inaccurate information and poor generalizations. Like seriously, if you just watch the show, you’d know that not everyone character in JoJo is the “cowardly badass” (and the fact he used Polnareff and Narancia there pissed me off; both are some of the bravest dudes in JoJo despite being goofballs!) or “stoic badass” archetype ; that there are character arcs; that the deaths aren’t for “shock value” when there is in-universe reasons for them happening that make sense. Criticize the show for facts, not false information.
Great video, Kamen! Jotaro Hate is real dumb, especially when the whole point of this journey is that he’s growing more attached to the group, that he’s very emotional despite his stoic demeanor, and that he almost does screw himself over multiple times due to his anger (like how he was straight up going to ram his fist through Steely Dan “so fast that the Stand won’t activate”; or during the DIO fight; or him being an ass just to everyone).
Some of Cosmos content isn’t bad and I relatively like some of it. However he can be overly pretentious and downright condescending which kinda overall ruins most his reviews for me. The JoJo one was especially an extremely weak video by him. He kinda contradicted himself saying how much he loved 1,2 and 4. AND enjoyed the Dio vs Jotaro fight.
I’ve always been confused by his quality check. Sometimes, it’s above and beyond and is a superb video, and then there’s this. And this isn’t the first time. It’s happened many times so o wonder wether he just can’t be asked or rushes some of them
And furthermore his complaints reeked of a person burnt out on JoJo because he felt like he had to watch it, not because he didn’t like it.
Ight, time to see if your opinions are right or if I have to hit you with a "Ding dong, your opinion is wrong"
Edit: yeah, your opinion is very valid, I loved that fight
Yeah, only other "fight" that comes close that series was versus younger d'Arby. Though Iggy versus Pet Shop was another interesting one.
I will stop arguing with JoJo haters when they start actually knowing what they're talking about
My favorite fight without any consideration on the quality and just how much I enjoyed it is Hol Horse and Boingo. Even though it wasn't really a fight.
Best fight in terms of "objectivity" in my opinion is Vanilla Ice VS PolPol and Iggy.
and Dio VS Jotaro.
My favourite episode was Wamuu vs Joseph, because it really did show how Wamuu is a fair fighter, even killing people of his own army just to make the fair fighter
Cosmonaut contradicts himself A LOT!
"I don't like JoJo", and later on the same video "I liked Part 4 a lot! It's my favorite part!"
?
Also Cosmonaut: Likes Pt 1 and Pt 2 a lot...
I don't think that he truly hates Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.
I actually really like his videos. He shares most of the same opinions as me. However, I didn't agree with his take on jojo.
And I don't think he hates jojo. It was just for the title. He loves parts 1,2 and 4. Hates part 5. Is neutral towards part 6. Likes some stuff of part 3.
The best fight in jojo to me is Doppio vs Risotto for obvious reasons. High tension, good back and forth, and my favorite characters with cool ass powers.
yep same, though the darpi fight was pretty fun
That was my favorite fight in Part 5. Everything just kinda felt "eh" to me after that one
@@Ultradragon16 What about the Bruno vs Prosciutto fight? It's generally agreed that Part 5 had the best fights
@@moderncrusader1150 The train stuff was pretty good, but honestly during the second half of The Man in the Mirror I got confused and kinda burnt out. I also find the Giacco fight less than memorable and I keep forgetting Melone in general
@@Ultradragon16 Yeah! Especially when Prosciutto shouts “Curse you, Bucciarati!”
I just love the fact that Jotaro bluffs so hard that D'Arby had a heart attack.
16:56 It also helped that Capcom released arcade game which spawned one of the oldest western Jojo's memes of all time, the Za Warudo/Knifes/Road Roller Da WRRRRRRYYYYY combo which I'm sure I'm not alone in that being my first exposure to the franchise.
