I like how fate in Jojo could be interpreted both ways. A way to overcome it and a way to accept its existence. Diavolo is so obsess about changing his fate that in the end, he did indeed attain his life long goal to be ascended or an immortal so to speak but at the cost of him enduring his cycle of unending death, meanwhile, Dio has already accepted that fate is unavoidable thus he creates a new plan or a new way for himself as well for other people to see their own fates and accept it us such and embrace it no matter what. In the end, Dio did achieve his so called "heaven' but like fate itself, it changes, thus creating a new fate or a new 'heaven" in which not everyone knows what their ultimate fate is but it is still there currently present. It was fate that the main cast of Jojo in part 6 all meet together again for the second in this new world.
When u realize that jonothan monologue when he was about to die” dio our fate might truly be one of the same” is in line with dio later on ideology of gravity
It's highly likely that, with those being the last words Jonathan said to Dio, Dio simply mulled them over for the hundred years he was at sea and came to determine how fate truly could not be fought, therefore the best alternative was to simply know one's fate and then accept it as how it will happen.
Legion Beast definitely agree i am sure he was rethinking his life in the coffin, and everything that happen with jonathan etc etc that lead up to his ideology of gravity and heaven
One of the things people overlook when they say "Pucci won" or "DIO was actually the hero of JoJo" when they're exposing how little the paid attention to Part 6 is DIOs idea of Heaven is inherently selfish and based on an arrogant superior view of humanity. He basically thinks if everyone knows what is going to happen to them from birth to death, they'll accept it and be content with their lot in life. But first of all: people would mostly just be confused after the universe resets itself which we do see snippets of, so they'd probably just go through life with a sense of deja vu. And even if they get the message that what they experienced was the path of their life that will play out absolutely, if their fate sucks ass, basic human nature would compel them to try to change their fate, not accept it. DIO wants a world of subserviant humans who will live their lives in absolute submission to his will, and is so full of himself that he thinks they should be happy about that.
They wouldn't be able to change their fate, their personalities even though they could end up being vastly different, wouldn't be able to modify anything because fate controls their actions, ands they would know that thanks to Made in Heaven. So Fate in JoJo still sucks ass
It's even more selfish in the context of the Heaven plan itself. Because as far as I understood it, Dio would be the only person absolved of fate in that new Universe. Therefore, he would literally be a living God - he would have complete control of anyone's actions, because he is not subjected to fate.
@@statisticserinokripperino part 6 heaven is all about godly power of absolutely free will with fatalistic universe with no free will. In philosophy someone that has absolute free will has godly power to change fate and destiny. Dio want an ultimate power to become a god. Pucci want to be a priest to preach philosophy of fatalism and guide humanity into believing it. He literally make a world where everyone has no free will except him and guide them into believing his philosophy of fatalism that he discovered when his sister Perla death is and will make everyone happy and have a peace of mind. Pucci is very definition of hypocrite
@@almalayuwiyyah2512 True, but the way he talks about it is very convincing (at least for me) and knowing what he went through, I see how Dio's (lets be honest) manipulation sounded so good to him. Both Pucci and Dio let lives constantly plagued by fate, so it makes sense they would want a world where they can know their future and accept it.
Finishing Part 6 actually helped me a lot with understanding confusing stuff like King Crimson. If you know how fate in JoJo works it makes many things much more clear.
@@giuseppeagresta1425 People call KC "confusing" cause of the super outplayed meme that used to be funny. The notion of KC being confusing was only meritable when the manga scans for Vento Aureo were translated poorly; but now that they've been updated it makes it a more clear, and on top of that the anime explained the best. At this point if one is still confused by KC then they are either kidding, or they genuinely have attention problems with following a plot 🤷♂️😂
This adds more context on why the child Gyro was trying to save died. He was fated to do so. Yes, it makes Gyro's journey feel like nothing on the surface... But if Gyro never went on his journey then he wouldn't had never changed Johnny for the better. And we see how much of a better person Johnny becomes from the history books in Part 8. The child was fated to get sick and push Gyro on his journey. Not all fated meetings are happy ones but they do lead to better outcomes in the grand scheme of things.
Jojo is not the first story where fate or time traveling work like this. Though I think it makes much less sense than the more popular multiple timelines kind of time traveling where a new timeline is created every time something changes fate where the the new timeline is the one you're now in and the old timeline is what was supposed to have happened.
@@nullkazune2025 Is part 8 connected to part 7? Isn't it other universe? For me part skipping is acceptable since it has no connection or whatever (though I haven't skipped yet)
I think it's more so because some people see it as a method of pushing the story forward rather than an aspect of the story due to how fate is often mentioned when it feels like it is being used to push the story forward (except in part 6) and these people don't really think about how fate would impact other events or ideas or characters.
I theorize that Jolyne's name change in the ending to Irene was also caused by fate. To put it simply my theory is that Jolyne was "fated" to take part in the events that happened in part 6, making her a "Jojo". If Pucci didn't exist then the world wouldn't need another Jojo, so she became Irene, but still has the same soul. This explains why Jotaro kept his name, he had his own story which he was fated to happen with that name. The ending universe contains the same souls as the first one. The only difference between them is the lack of Pucci.
Exactly it also has a different meaning since now jolyne is free from the joestar curse to fight evil like dio so her name was changed she doesn’t have jojo anymore since she is now free, free from fighting she can finally be happy
@@zeinner237 i have a theory, the first timeline culminates with the events of stone ocean and made in heaven, second timeline is the pucciverse where everyone knows their fate, third timelines would be the main timeline, everything till part 5 goes as normal, the history we all know and love. So stone ocean has some inconsistencies with the rest of the series, and besides some references to prior events (mainly part 3) we could say it stands apart, like the ubication of the requiem arrow, Dio's traveling the world and jotaro's 5 second time stop. Now the fourth timeline, the SBR and jojolion one is kinda problematic, because the events oh that timeline could perflectly happend in the main timeline and we wouldn't have to know. That last paragraph comes because (Jojolion mild spoilers) we see speedwagon fundation studying the higashitaka terrain on morioh. Still its on probation tho
People don't like a lot of part 5. Giorno being lame, having a beyond broken stand, Diavolo getting the worst ending all sours people. Its made worse by Araki cramming in Sleeping Slaves/Rolling Stones right after to beat people over the head with it. We understand it fine but that doesn't mean we like it. Then there is the issue of contradiction with King Crimson. He can't attack but severs Trish's hand, oh its fate, stop questioning it. What I'm saying is, part 5 sucks. He did it immensely better in part 6 though and despite dealing with the same theme, is much, much more palatable.
@@tvt2428 The hate for 6 comes mainly from the minor villain stands. Nearly everyone agrees the Space Center stuff is great and much of that is rife with the theming of fate and gravity.
I always praised Jojo's use of fate. Whenever I see someone complaining about it, you just know they have no clue what they are actually talking about. They probably heard "fate" and wrote the whole thing off without actually looking back or thinking about how it was integrated. I always look back to the final stand of Will Zeppeli, in truly accepting his fate. That moment means a lot to me.
Looking at the comments, people are talking about others calling Fate an asspull. I have an easy answer to this: Those who say that have never read the manga, and if they did, completely skipped over the parts that explains Fate.
It doesn't matter how much you explain and lay a foundation for fate existing and being a real force. When you use fate to justify some dumbass plot development like Kars (some-fucking-how) getting punched by Joseph's severed hand getting launched by a volcanic eruption causing him to get launched out of earth's atmosphere, that's an asspul. It's fate being used as a cheap excuse for something ridiculous to happen. And I don't mind it personally, jojo is all about ridiculousness, but when someone has the audacity to argue that this ain't some cheap shit because "they explained fate", that's annoying.
Dawid Nowak the JoJo fandom gets a bad rep because of elitists saying that JoJo is god. Meaning that less and less people will want to get into JoJo. And also, you can’t call someone dumb for interpreting things differently. And @flersive I know what I said and I mean what I said. I like JoJo as much as you guys and not everyone is going to pick up on the same hints as everyone else
While it seems like he has mechanics for fate it is still an asspull, as with some other stuff he does. It's just part of the JoJo package at this point.
The concept of fate is the very reason I started to love JoJo in the first place, most other writers give depth to their stories by pushing incredibly specific concepts as their message, or by giving ambiguous morality to their characters, JoJo isn't like that, but at the same time, it is... On first look, JoJo is a simple good vs evil story, there's always a hero, just how there's always a clear villain to be defeated by the end. It never gets more complicated than that. But at the base of all of this, is fate, and instead of just brushing it off as "just fate" araki actually commits to explore this concept deeply... That's JBA's depth...
Someone well i haven’t read jojolion yet but i definitely think he is doing a wonderful job i love him to he is my fav mangaka ever i just hope that his work will finally get the recognition that it deserved and that people stop just thinking jojo is a meme show with no deep story
Giuseppe Agresta even part 1 the story was about living and life that was one of the most important theme also fate is in it when jonothan talks about it to dio u can make other analysis to each part if u want to lol
"Could this all have been predetermined by some event that happened long before anyone was aware?" Almost as if, long ago, "a creator" (as referred to in Jojolion 99) took the first napkin...
Suppose that you were sitting down at this table. The napkins are in front of you, which napkin would you take? The one on your ‘left’? Or the one on your ‘right’? The one on your left side? Or the one on your right side? Usually you would take the one on your left side. That is ‘correct’ too. But in a larger sense on society, that is wrong. Perhaps I could even substitute ‘society’ with the ‘Universe’. The correct answer is that ‘It is determined by the one who takes his or her own napkin first.’ …Yes? If the first one takes the napkin to their right, then there’s no choice but for others to also take the ‘right’ napkin. The same goes for the left. Everyone else will take the napkin to their left, because they have no other option. This is ‘society’… Who are the ones that determine the price of land first? There must have been someone who determined the value of money, first. The size of the rails on a train track? The magnitude of electricity? Laws and Regulations? Who was the first to determine these things? Did we all do it, because this is a Republic? Or was it Arbitrary? NO! The one who took the napkin first determined all of these things! The rules of this world are determined by that same principle of ‘right or left?’! In a Society like this table, a state of equilibrium, once one makes the first move, everyone must follow! In every era, this World has been operating by this napkin principle. And the one who ‘takes the napkin first’ must be someone who is respected by all. It’s not that anyone can fulfill this role… Those that are despotic or unworthy will be scorned. And those are the ‘losers’. In the case of this table, the ‘eldest’ or the ‘Master of the party’ will take the napkin first… Because everyone ‘respects’ those individuals
Weather Report and Pucci's stand were both created by the same event, and this event spawned the two stands that would bring Pucci to achieve heaven and take it away!
And ironically enough, Weather Report is more close to heaven with his abilities than the horse riding stand Made in Heaven, and the first is the one that ends the second and his fake idea of "heaven".
People who think that fate is "excuse for asspulls" are probably the same people who think that mirror world in part 5 is contradiction to what Kakyoin says in part 3. IQ = 0.
Wow u opened my eyes that make soo much sense how the fuck didn’t i realize this sooner ( btw i am not sarcastic i seriously never thought of this thank u
Nooo but diver down is useless, why didnt jotaro use Star finger?, it's that a mf jojo reference?!, Koichi pose, where the fuck is Mickey?!, Fate is asspull
I think Kars represents when a person wants to be perfect above all else, and then uses that as an excuse for atrocities. Then in the end, what he has attained froze him. Joseph, however, is clever and uses what he has to win, and he does. He also fights in an honorable way and for his life and eventually the world. Honor, self-preservation, and especially the third thing can be tied to justice, which is also part of fate. Therefore, one could say that Battle Tendency is saying that fate is attained by working with what you have and being clever instead of seeking “the ultimate solution”, for in clever steps one will eventually face what they need to face. This is opposite Kars, who wanted to be the best and still wasn’t because of luck. It is like Diavolo, but less overt.
@@iantaakalla8180 Remember that Kars loses because he is no longer tied to the Earth's gravitational pull. Diavalo loses because he can no longer arrive at what is fated.
People often ignore how omnipresent fate has been from the start. Also I think that fate aligning itself with justice and peace is a nice thought, especially nowadays.
I concur. Hell, the concept of fate that Araki is presenting could even be what fate truly is in real life. No matter what, no matter how hard you try to circumvent fate, and avoid it, it will eventually correct itself into a right and just path. The most notorious dictators ultimately met their demise through one thing or another, and from that moment on, the countries under that terrible influence started to correct themselves. It takes time... But fate will set it self onto a just path.
I mean, luck and fate stuck out immediately in the anime (The prologue with the narrator after Dario “saves” George, plus Sono chi no Sadame’s lyrics.), and as soon as Dio’s moles are mentioned.
Scollopi was a clear reference to Jesus, and remember Jesus accepted his own death as his fate in order to reach heaven like the human being he was before the resurrection.
@Tornike Tvalchrelidze Eyes of Heaven isn't even canon. Dio said in Part 6 that he's not seeking for power because it's pointless. Power isn't fun and satisfying. Eyes of Heaven just doesn't make sense, don't even mention it. Pucci would never be friends with Green Baby if their talk wasn't genuine so Dio is completely honest in conversation with Pucci. Or he would just make Pucci a minion in Part 3 if he wouldn't care for him.
@Tornike Tvalchrelidze I'm not saying Araki forgot. Dio kept his plan a secret and has only told Pucci about it because he trust in him because he's friends with him. Dio literally has said in his plan that he needs a trustworthy friend in order to succeed in his plan. The whole point of Part 6 is that Dio's plans was not like in Part 3 all the time and that he just wants to get rid of the Joestars, that's all. His goal was "heaven" and not to rule the world. We can also see that he is extremely calm around his minions. He doesn't consider them as enemies (I'm talking about the ones who weren't paid), but he uses them as power to defeat Joestars. He also wanted to grant them a "peace of mind", which is "heaven" we are told about in part 6.
Wow, I never really read JoJo like this , I did have some ideas of some shit , but not in depth . This video is making me want to read it again , I feel like I missed a lot .
@@dyvyby It's more than just that. As soon as a reading is made in the Manga, the prophecy *must* happen. Boingo's only "fault" is that he can't read between the lines, namely that what he sees is not necessarily happening due to his actions or even soon. Him seeing Jotaro die held utterly true - it's just that he had nothing to do with it and he couldn't realise this.
Jolyne, Jotaro, Anasui and Hermes too 😔 Explanation: Reread, Their souls are dead, Irene is not Jolene. Pucci said that the souls of Jolene, Joatro, Anasui and Hermes ceased to exist. Of all the positive characters, they have the worst fate, they did not go to Paradise like Jonathan or Buccellati, they were erased from reality
*_Is the destiny of mankind controlled by some transcendental entity or law? Is it like the Hand of God hovering above? At least, it is true that man has no control, even over his own will._*
I really enjoy this breakdown of the "Gravity" and "Fate" part of part 6 which I found as one of the best storylines in Jojo simply because it seems very technical as well as being super ambiguous as to what is really happening
Remember at the end of Part 1, Jonathan is bleeding out and holding Dio's head and the last words he says are how he feels how he and Dio truly are bound by fate. It's highly likely that, with those being the last words Jonathan said to Dio, Dio simply mulled them over for the hundred years he was at sea and came to determine how fate truly could not be fought, therefore the best alternative was to simply know one's fate and then accept it as how it will happen.
Basically, Araki wants to tell a story about human greatness and that such things as "Is there a god?" or "Can Fate be altered?" are not the right questions to be asked, no matter if your life as a good or a bad one. Ultimately, Araki wants to say "Try what you can to be good and moral and do not concern yourself with things vastly outside your realm of control." What all villains in JoJo have in common is that they try to direct things in their favour on a grand scale, be it the world, Fate itself or the entire universe and everyone therein, whereas the heroes take what comes and then act according to their morals. The gist of JoJo is "be a good person".
INCREDIBLE VIDEO! Makes Stone Ocean way more clear. On that note I would like to suggest a similar video but maybe fleshing out the perspective of the protagonists? How Josuke believed in helping others instead of ignoring them, Giorno believed in giving life instead of taking it, and Jolyne.
I've noticed the conflicting ideals between Diavolo and DIO and always found it interesting. It's a shame both of these villains are often misunderstood
In the summer of 2017 I made a video talking about how much I love part 5 for its use of fate, and couldn't believe how many commenters were "surprised" at the depth, or claimed they changed their position on GER having now understood the significance of fate. I'm so glad that more people are discussing the fate theme now, because it really is integral to the genius of the whole series. Reading Manga in Theory and Practice is what really drove it home for me, and I honestly believe it's a must read for anyone who likes JoJo. It's pretty much guaranteed to give you a deeper appreciation!
@@divineshinobi1791 I mean, illegally yes, the same way most read manga online. But I'm not aware of anywhere you can find it for free online without breaking the law. I honestly whole-heartedly recommend the purchase.
*YES* I have non-stop tried to explain this to people, about how Made in Heaven works and it's relationship to fate and destiny, especially with the "piece of mind" speech. But every time I do it becomes too long and complex. This video makes that explanation simple and easy to understand, so i can just refer to this from now on. thanks. It just amazes me how everyone seems to perfectly understand Part 5 themes, especially fate, but Part 6 themes are somehow too convoluted and confusing.
It's because the majority of them have never read it. Dumb anime onlies just hear universe reset and assume the rest. Shuckmeister's ridiculous hate videos certainly don't help things.
@@zh7334 Was never a fan of his though i admit i have only seen one of his videos. It kind of sucks that so many popular youtubers completely misinterpret Jojo. In the end i really agree with you that reading is the only way. The anime is great, but reading it is just so much better in almost every way, especially if you want to truly appreciate the themes and characters.
Yeah, fate is a theme in Jojo, most people who hate that are not aware of this so they only see it as a last minute asspull. Excellent video by the way, pretty succinct regarding Araki's writing and intentions behind it, it's a godsend to see this when you have way too many idiots in the fanbase who refuse to put any attention in this.
@@shazamman2287Villains in Jojo don't lose just because fate exist they lose because they try defy it . They try surpass or cheat fate which eventually leads to their downfall . The message of fate in Jojo is that you should make the best out of your own fate that's given to you . And it goes lot deeper than that in part 5 and 6 .
@@shazamman2287Literally where in the story is said that the MC won because of fate?, or even that fate is helping the heroes?, when in almost every chance the one with good luck is the bad guy
Alright, at first I just thought to myself "Oh all of the connections must be a coincidence" but you reveal the polar differences of DIO and Diavolo and just Araki is a masterful story teller.
Jojo's use of fate is beautiful. If the series has taught me anything, it's that wether you can change fate or not being your best self is all you can do.
What people have to understand is that Jojo isn't simply a character drama, or a shonen about setting up good fights. It tells a story about the unconscious, and the hypothetical evolution of humans to a higher state of being. It needs grand and abstract plot mechanics to get all that across. If you take the plot about fate and resolve etc away, all you have is a race for the macguffin for that part, aka the stand arrow, red stone of aja etc. It'd be lame.
Honestly out of all the instance of fate I have seen in Jojo, the one that seems the silliest to get mad at is the Tarot Card one. For one thing, from a writing perspective, did you really want to have 3 Stars, 9 Chariots and 6 Hermits? It would make the Stand names more confusing and less unique. Besides that, Tarot Cards are all about fate, out of everything in Jojo I expect that to at least give the character's their fated Stand names. Finally, its a dumb thing to get mad at anyway given all the other crazy things that happen in the series. You mean to tell me you can accept people using buff ghosts with super powers to fight people, you can accept a 100+ year old vampire with the ability to stop time, you can accept a dog with human intelligence, but people getting unique names from Tarot Cards is where you draw the line? Its really odd how people are so willing to accept completely crazy and extreme ideals but still sweat the little stuff. If Jojo was more realistic then that would be fine but its not, it has magic sun martial arts powers, buff ghost summons, big ass buff guys who can eat you just by touching you and Jesus' corpse gives you super powers. Crazy shit happens, an extremely unlikely scenario is the least of these.
Sorry but wdym by "Jesus' corpse?" I legit haven't seen anything like that JoJo (finished 3 parts, currently at 4) If its a major spoiler don't give me the details, just the part where it is
I love the explanation of fate being gravity, cause even in the real world unless we prove that elementary particles are completely random (superposition) we can safely say that everything in the universe is predetermined
Ikr literally the _entire point_ of Will Zeppeli's sacrifice was that he outright knew he was _fated_ to die in battle against the Stone Mask's consequences if he kept pursuing their defeat yet valiantly charged ahead anyway. We literally even see a flashback of one of his guru teachers outright seeing Zeppeli's future ahead of time and predicting the situation Zeppeli would find himself in after reading his palm, so readers going "lol fate copout" when fate was defined as a real fundamental thing as far back as the _first part in the series_ is maddening.
Nobody applies the term "Dumbness" to entire JJBA just because of how annoying the fate is. But still... If you know that villains will lose, how can you worry for the MCs?
@@shazamman2287Villains lose in almost every type of fiction . The question isn't if they can beat the villain , it's how they can beat the villain . Also Jonathan lost to Dio so there is that . Also Fate ≠ Victory for the good guys .
This is such a well put together video that explains so much about how the parts of JoJo are actually connected. For a long time I just didn't really understand how all of the different parts work together (even thinking that parts contradicted each other) but your videos have really helped me understand the more in-depth philosophy of Araki in his storytelling. Seriously, really amazing stuff!
An in depth explanation on how Araki weaves fate into Jojo is brilliant. Even if a story arc is completed, not everyone's fate has concluded, like Fugo in Purple Haze Feedback or Kira in Dead Man's Questions. Apart from most other media that have poorly worded or executed takes on fate, I can see how careful Araki is in the way he implements it into Jojo. Clearly, major Stands like King Crimson, The World, Killer Queen and Made in Heaven are the most influential to fate, but there are several others that appear like the Requiem Stands or Boingo's Thoth, the latter of which suggests that fate is the most patient element in Jojo since it took 24 years for one of its predictions to come true. And as was explained with the differences between DIO's and Diavolo's takes on fate (one who accepts vs one who denies), fate is patient, but also unforgiving if it's outright rejected. If this hasn't been done already, may I suggest you cover how the Requiem Stands work? I know that a Requiem Stand comes when the arrow pierces the Stand, but I'm not sure if there's more to it than that.
So basically in Jojo as long as you accept your own fate and do what you think is right, fate will favor you even when you die. The only reason why Jojo's villain will lose to Jojo is all because they deny their own fate and death at the very end whereas character like all the jobro accept their own destined death and try their best to help the protagonist which results in their "win" over the villain/ death of the villain even when they no longer alive. Please tell me if I am wrong tho, Hamon Beat. Like your videos!
Almost every video by Hamon Beat makes me deepen my appreciation for the storytelling of Jojo and Araki's philosophy in writing stories. Keep up the good work, and thanks for really illustrating these factors of Jojo in such a concise yet thoughtful way.
In the spirit of showing the contrast of each villain in how they view fate, perhaps you can disscuss the duality of the characters in the series (such as Josuke and Kira in Part 4)
"Fate only follows the path of justice" line hit different when you look back at all the parts and how much every protagonist from each part had to go through, and they still were on the side of justice and what was right. Jojo really is a perfect anime
Even before I knew about JJBA, I've always thought about why things happen and all that fate stuff. This is probs why I ended up being pretty obsessed to the series (especially part 5 and 6)
The way I see it, fate is it's own character. Like some vehicles in movies or tv shows, such as the DeLorian in the B2tF series or The Shining/the supernatural power good guys have in Steven King books.
I wish we could see more of the universe where people knew their fate (heaven according to the mentally unstable vampire and priest) we see it happening a bit during Emporio vs. Pucci but not a lot. Imagine you knew that you would die in a car crash you would try your best to avoid cars but alas fate will caught up to you, this is actually fucked up making people filled with extreme paranoia just to have that bad stuff happened to them.
What makes fate in JoJo's so much more believable is how fate doesn't always favour the protagonists . Like how it was revealed that Bruno, Narancia and Abbacchio were fated to die from the very beginning after the Rolling Stone arc and how they were unable to change their fate . The only difference between the heroes and Diavolo is that they accepted their fate and tried to do their best in the time they were given unlike Diavolo who was obsessed with changing fate
@ゴゴ Joji Joestar ゴゴ The worst part is that due to that sub, stuff like Shuckmesiter's Araki forgot has been accepted as fact in the fanbase. The sub had an unhealthy effect on the fanbase, that's the reason why most people hate the JoJo fanbase.
ゴゴ Joji Joestar ゴゴ ikr?? “Araki forgot” was funny cuz no one actually took it seriously and most people knew that it was mainly the readers fault. But then everyone started to think they were serious and it just got really unfunny really quickly.
Amazing video as always, heck, you outdid yourself with this one actually, so well explained. I always got the feeling that Araki used fate more as a character that brings the story together, and not a "get out of jail free card" people seem to see it as, but this video helps put everything together nicely and understand exactly what Araki is trying to make with fate. Thank you for the video.
Anime only JoJo fan:"Part 5 is the worst part because fate is lame" Me, an intellectual who has seen how better fate makes the stories in all parts: *bruh_sfx.avi*
(うずまきナルト) For the millionth time, HB educated himself on why what he was said was offensive and apologised. You’re not making a difference by saying this over and over again 😐
Xavi K Because the first reply is spreading misinformation about a content creator I enjoy and is calling them racist when they don’t align themselves with these beliefs anymore. I have an issue with that
I feel like the idea of inevitability of fate, fate as gravity, as a tragic force, is extremely fitting with the "Flow" speech of Satoru from the last chapter (99 for people of the future) of Jojolion.
Personally, I've never seen Diavolo as someone who wants to overcome fate. Time and time again whenever he talks about his stand and fate, he always says that fate "chose" him. That fate chose him to be the "King", gave him King Crimson, and somewhat use fate to his advantage. Not that he wants to rule over fate. I believe he thinks that fate always sides with him, not that he wants to control it; that he KNOWS everything is fated/predestined, but that in every predestination, he always comes out on top, which is proven wrong by Giorno saying that it's justice and following the righteous path is what fate sides with, not Diavolo. Almost as if he thinks Fate gave him King Crimson to use fate as his weapon, someone on his side through seeing what fate decides to happen, not something he can actually control or rule over. We never saw a scene of Diavolo "overcoming fate", he never saw his premonition not be in his favor and him overcoming that (you can say during the Metallica fight, but was he really fated to lose to Risotto? Just as much as he was fated to be injured, he still believed that fate chose him to be the winner and defeated Risotto using a stand that he believes was given to him by fate). He never thought he is fated to fail and that he tries to overcome it, he believes that fate itself sides with him and that his premonitions always show him as the winner no matter what, that even if needles appear inside of him, that in the end, he still trusts fate to side with him. Not even Giorno talked about himself or Requiem being above fate (since Requiem can be interpreted to be above fate because it overcame King Crimson's premonition which is said as absolutely fated to happen), only that fate favors the righteous path and defeats evil. Diavolo was delusional in the sense that he thinks he was chosen by fate, not that he thinks that he can overcome it. Diavolo doesn't think that he can change fate. He only thinks that fate always sides with him, not that he's on top of it and can alter/control it. He's almost similar to someone like Kira, who thinks fate and luck is always by their side when in fact justice is what fate ultimately sides with, or Pucci who thinks "God" is on his side and let him use Made in Heaven to achieve Heaven. In summary, I don't think King Crimson is about overcoming fate, and Giorno and the gang accepting it, it's just about who/what fate favors, and Diavolo thought it was him but Giorno proved him wrong and said it was justice. The bad guys think that fate always sides with them, while the good guys believe that even if they were fated to lose and die, that justice will still be served since it's the righteous path. I don't think anyone in JoJo thought about overcoming or ruling over fate. They just thought it favors one or the other.
It honestly baffles me how much some people underestimate part 6. It instantly became my favourite after realizing how important it is to jojo's universe as a whole and how good of an ending it is. The people who say "bohoo fate is just plot armor" are probably the same who ignore the only jojo part that throughly explores this crucial concept
People that don't understand fate in Jojo are the same people who think the way Kira died way was silly when he actually has one of the best deaths in the series, or that "GER is a Deus Ex Machina", when infact part 5 is one of the best poetic and thematically written manga, or the concept of Gravity and Heaven that DIO lays out clearly that later goes on to fulfill itself in everyway through part 6s plot and Pucci's intial success, or those who say Alt Diego is a cop out when there is so much set up as to why Johnny cannot win. And theres SEVERAL other examples 💯
@@Schnoz42069 king crimson had such an OP ability, of course the arrow is going to give giorno a super strong ability to be able to beat him, yes it's a really well done power up.
@@Schnoz42069 The reason it's not really a deus ex machina is because it's not an unexpected power or event. The arrow and the requiem ability was built up beforehand. Deus ex machinas, on the other hand, is used to resolve plots with a sudden and unexpected event just to give a positive ending. The requiem ability being able to counter King Crimson is expected and definitely poetic justice. I suppose what was unexpected was the huge ass whooping that was dealt to King Crimson and Diavolo, and more people wanted an even fight before the last hit. I don't think an even fight would fit the story nor the build-up for the arrow/requiem.
Fate in JoJo is the best I've ever seen the topic handled. It's a series all about fate and humanity's role in the world. It really is beautifully poetic in so many ways, irony and justice permeates the whole story. And my favourite thing about it is that it's still relevant to this day, because Araki is so passionate about this idea that he always keeps portraying it in new and exciting and inventive ways. Perhaps now more than ever with Part 8, as the (assumed) big bad seems to be able to "enforce" fate itself by weaponizing accidents (a.k.a calamities) with Wonder of U. This was a great video and I loved the insight!
As an Orthodox Christian, I can relate exactly to the JoJo's acceptation of fate And in a totally different way, in Avatar The Last Airbender we see the exact same kind of understanding fate as the main JoJo's at their respective parts. If you don't believe me, go watch it now
I like to compare Pucci's heaven plan to the equivalent of picking up a book you haven't read yet and skipping all the way to the end without reading the middle. A world of spoilers. A world without the element of surprise. How would you like it if you knew exactly how many steps you'll take before you get run over by a car? Or if you knew your child would grow up to become a murderer? And you can't change it because fate is set in stone. Or at least that's how Pucci sees it.
This video coincidentally has the best KC description I've ever heard: 1. He sees the future 2. He can change what he does in that seen future 3. What he saw is absolute though, so it still happens as if he hadn't changed his actions 4. Everyone else cannot react to his changed movements (they perceive a time skip)
Just finished reading Part 6, and had to come watch this and the Heaven Plan videos, and now many things are finally clear. Also, i do believe there is another series with such a fleshed out system of fate, the Type-Moon/Nasuverse universe (the so called Fate series), even with people going through elaborated plots to influence the system to their favor, but honestly I'm nowhere close to be informed enough about that to compare them
As a Nasuverse fan, Gravity/Fate is also a heavy influence in its works; Mahoutsukai no Yoru, Kara no Kyoukai (then we have its Swirl of the Root, where it is essentially the Alpha and the Omega, where things come from and return to eventually and Mystic Eyes of Death Perception which says that objects with these lines are fated to die but severing these lines of death bypass the actual cause of death), then Tsukihime, which also brings back the same eyes. Then we literally have the series aptly named Fate, Stay Night, Extra/CCC, Grand Order, Extella and so on. Where all are bound by gravity itself and in the same virtue as JoJo, should you follow Justice, you are rewarded as well. Also plays well with their multiverse aspects.
0:53 one of the comments said part 5 was trash. I wonder how stupid that guy is to think it's trash because of fate being used in it? I may have a least favorite part in JoJo but I consider every part to be good in some way or another.
I have never heard King Crimsons ability explained that way, but now it makes perfect sense. Like I thought I understood it before, but I was never able to conceptualize it so concisely. Great video!
Seems kind of sad that Diavolo's paranoia was such that he would've been far better served not going to extremes to hide his identity. It's those extremes that align people against him in the first place and what ends up making him a target more than simply being the enigmatic boss ever did.
Reason why pucchi won in stone ocean (world reset) is that he trully believed fate as a fact Unlike the other villains who try to dodge, control or chase it
This video gave me renewed vigor in my appreciation for Jojo. I've always been a fan of fate as a mechanical feature as opposed to an abstraction to justify abstractions. By making the Fate in Jojo into a fundamental force like Gravity, something which characters can interact with and even test, it makes the potential depth to the story exponentially greater, especially considering how Araki considers a great villain to be one who controls time and space, which fundamentally means they control fate to some extent. (If we consider one's position in space to be the result of ongoing fate). Mostly, this just filled me with Jojo hype, though. Hats off to you, sir. I'm subscribing just so that I have access to this video.
I think it's more arrogance that leads to them not stopping and thinking about things and rather just write everything off as either "araki forgot" or just not making sense. These are the same people who write part 6 off as not making any sense and as bad while not actually taking a few moments to think about it.
I haven't seen any videos about how time is a factor in Jojo. Every single villain in parts 1-6 have some sort of ability around time, whether it be immortality, stopping time, rewinding time, erasing time, or accelerating time.
The thing with fate is that you can never overcome it because whatever you do was allready predestinated, even your thoughts are predestinated, one could say that while we are aware of ourselves we do not have free will, we only think we do for we do not know th Future. Actually understanding Fate is something that helps you find peace to be honest, because you realize that everything happens for a reason and that no matter how bad things are there are no mistakes. When you accept yourself as just another part of the game playing your part in History you will be at peace.
The easiest way to sum it all up is Araki is the god of JoJo and all characters in JoJo bend to the will of Araki’s will and whatever happens in JoJo is whatever the fuck Araki wants it to be. Jojo characters can experience the sorties being written by Araki and the characters decided that it’s fate moving them along a set path rather than a middle aged Japanese man making up their lives as he goes along.
Jojo villains fates rated at how bad and painful it was from 1-100 Kars: fate 90 Dio: fate 15 Kira: fate 50 Diavolo: fate 100 Pucci: fate 31 Funny valentine: fate 5 Tooru: fat- wait *crosses tooru out* ok hold on
i personally think Diavolo rather lost because he suddenly yearned for fate to be in his favour, while fighting Giorno, after constantly trying to overcome it. Fate was never in is favor and thus he always had to watch his back and did so. but the second, he abandoned his original path, fate kicked him in the jaw. i mean, wasn't this also the only time where the pre-cognition of Epitaph showed him winning? every time Epitaph showed him seemingly loosing, Diavolo/Doppio actually won.
Great video. I think that Araki's philosophy regarding fate could ultimately be compared to what's happened over the course of history. Something bad happens, but it ultimately corrects itself in some way.
Neither Dio nor Pucci knew exactly what would happen when you attain Heaven. Dio only wanted to achieve some sort of mysterious ultimate power which the control of the flow of time essentially is. The way Pucci used it was his own idea.
Other Anime: the protagonist overcome fates and becomes strong
Jojo: overcome fate=infinite death
You know the rules and so do us
@@cookedhappyman3780 Araki to dogs be like:
I like how fate in Jojo could be interpreted both ways. A way to overcome it and a way to accept its existence. Diavolo is so obsess about changing his fate that in the end, he did indeed attain his life long goal to be ascended or an immortal so to speak but at the cost of him enduring his cycle of unending death, meanwhile, Dio has already accepted that fate is unavoidable thus he creates a new plan or a new way for himself as well for other people to see their own fates and accept it us such and embrace it no matter what. In the end, Dio did achieve his so called "heaven' but like fate itself, it changes, thus creating a new fate or a new 'heaven" in which not everyone knows what their ultimate fate is but it is still there currently present. It was fate that the main cast of Jojo in part 6 all meet together again for the second in this new world.
U know what? That is exactly what I think Sophokles meant with Edipo
@Mike Hawkizard Nope.
When u realize that jonothan monologue when he was about to die” dio our fate might truly be one of the same” is in line with dio later on ideology of gravity
It's highly likely that, with those being the last words Jonathan said to Dio, Dio simply mulled them over for the hundred years he was at sea and came to determine how fate truly could not be fought, therefore the best alternative was to simply know one's fate and then accept it as how it will happen.
Legion Beast definitely agree i am sure he was rethinking his life in the coffin, and everything that happen with jonathan etc etc that lead up to his ideology of gravity and heaven
@@legionbeast watch the episode again. He didn't say that to dio, those were just he's thoughts.
*Jonathan sorry
You can say Baron Zepelli is the one character to achieve heaven because he knew his fate but marched towards it anyways
One of the things people overlook when they say "Pucci won" or "DIO was actually the hero of JoJo" when they're exposing how little the paid attention to Part 6 is DIOs idea of Heaven is inherently selfish and based on an arrogant superior view of humanity. He basically thinks if everyone knows what is going to happen to them from birth to death, they'll accept it and be content with their lot in life. But first of all: people would mostly just be confused after the universe resets itself which we do see snippets of, so they'd probably just go through life with a sense of deja vu. And even if they get the message that what they experienced was the path of their life that will play out absolutely, if their fate sucks ass, basic human nature would compel them to try to change their fate, not accept it.
DIO wants a world of subserviant humans who will live their lives in absolute submission to his will, and is so full of himself that he thinks they should be happy about that.
They wouldn't be able to change their fate, their personalities even though they could end up being vastly different, wouldn't be able to modify anything because fate controls their actions, ands they would know that thanks to Made in Heaven.
So Fate in JoJo still sucks ass
It's even more selfish in the context of the Heaven plan itself. Because as far as I understood it, Dio would be the only person absolved of fate in that new Universe. Therefore, he would literally be a living God - he would have complete control of anyone's actions, because he is not subjected to fate.
@@statisticserinokripperino part 6 heaven is all about godly power of absolutely free will with fatalistic universe with no free will. In philosophy someone that has absolute free will has godly power to change fate and destiny. Dio want an ultimate power to become a god. Pucci want to be a priest to preach philosophy of fatalism and guide humanity into believing it. He literally make a world where everyone has no free will except him and guide them into believing his philosophy of fatalism that he discovered when his sister Perla death is and will make everyone happy and have a peace of mind. Pucci is very definition of hypocrite
@@almalayuwiyyah2512 I could never hope to put this in any way better
@@almalayuwiyyah2512 True, but the way he talks about it is very convincing (at least for me) and knowing what he went through, I see how Dio's (lets be honest) manipulation sounded so good to him.
Both Pucci and Dio let lives constantly plagued by fate, so it makes sense they would want a world where they can know their future and accept it.
Finishing Part 6 actually helped me a lot with understanding confusing stuff like King Crimson. If you know how fate in JoJo works it makes many things much more clear.

But if Gyro never went on his journey then he wouldn't had never changed Johnny for the better. And we see how much of a better person Johnny becomes from the history books in Part 8.
The child was fated to get sick and push Gyro on his journey. Not all fated meetings are happy ones but they do lead to better outcomes in the grand scheme of things.

Jojo is not the first story where fate or time traveling work like this. Though I think it makes much less sense than the more popular multiple timelines kind of time traveling where a new timeline is created every time something changes fate where the the new timeline is the one you're now in and the old timeline is what was supposed to have happened.
Jojolion 99 has one of the best "fate" revelations in JoJo.

Wait, people dont like the concept of fate in jojo?
@@jokaro3069 People don't like the concept of fate in reality
@@UviChaos Me neither
But the way fate is used in Jojo is much MUCH better and complex than most
I think it's more so because some people see it as a method of pushing the story forward rather than an aspect of the story due to how fate is often mentioned when it feels like it is being used to push the story forward (except in part 6) and these people don't really think about how fate would impact other events or ideas or characters.
by "fans", do you mean the 45 people (out of ~34 000) who disliked the video?
I theorize that Jolyne's name change in the ending to Irene was also caused by fate. To put it simply my theory is that Jolyne was "fated" to take part in the events that happened in part 6, making her a "Jojo". If Pucci didn't exist then the world wouldn't need another Jojo, so she became Irene, but still has the same soul. This explains why Jotaro kept his name, he had his own story which he was fated to happen with that name. The ending universe contains the same souls as the first one. The only difference between them is the lack of Pucci.
Exactly it also has a different meaning since now jolyne is free from the joestar curse to fight evil like dio so her name was changed she doesn’t have jojo anymore since she is now free, free from fighting she can finally be happy
What if stone ocean is the first part, that's why it have so many inconcistencies, ireneverse is the main timeline (without pucci's existence)
Alejandro Maturana what ?
Alejandro Maturana what
@@zeinner237 i have a theory, the first timeline culminates with the events of stone ocean and made in heaven, second timeline is the pucciverse where everyone knows their fate, third timelines would be the main timeline, everything till part 5 goes as normal, the history we all know and love.
So stone ocean has some inconsistencies with the rest of the series, and besides some references to prior events (mainly part 3) we could say it stands apart, like the ubication of the requiem arrow, Dio's traveling the world and jotaro's 5 second time stop.
Now the fourth timeline, the SBR and jojolion one is kinda problematic, because the events oh that timeline could perflectly happend in the main timeline and we wouldn't have to know.
That last paragraph comes because (Jojolion mild spoilers) we see speedwagon fundation studying the higashitaka terrain on morioh.
Still its on probation tho
I never will understand people who read parts 4-6 and continue to say fate is a cop out, like just say you don't know how to read bro it's okay
Don't mess with JoJo fans
We don't know how to read
People don't like a lot of part 5. Giorno being lame, having a beyond broken stand, Diavolo getting the worst ending all sours people. Its made worse by Araki cramming in Sleeping Slaves/Rolling Stones right after to beat people over the head with it. We understand it fine but that doesn't mean we like it. Then there is the issue of contradiction with King Crimson. He can't attack but severs Trish's hand, oh its fate, stop questioning it. What I'm saying is, part 5 sucks.
He did it immensely better in part 6 though and despite dealing with the same theme, is much, much more palatable.
@@L2DaK2Dap I think people hate part 6 more but fair points

Nobody knows how fate works irl
Looking at the comments, people are talking about others calling Fate an asspull. I have an easy answer to this: Those who say that have never read the manga, and if they did, completely skipped over the parts that explains Fate.
Like people who read fast a part to get to the another one or that persons that dont understand something but dont tries to do it.
It doesn't matter how much you explain and lay a foundation for fate existing and being a real force. When you use fate to justify some dumbass plot development like Kars (some-fucking-how) getting punched by Joseph's severed hand getting launched by a volcanic eruption causing him to get launched out of earth's atmosphere, that's an asspul. It's fate being used as a cheap excuse for something ridiculous to happen. And I don't mind it personally, jojo is all about ridiculousness, but when someone has the audacity to argue that this ain't some cheap shit because "they explained fate", that's annoying.

Fate was the very basic of JoJo storyline since Part 1. It's people who are dumb.

And also, you can’t call someone dumb for interpreting things differently. And @flersive I know what I said and I mean what I said. I like JoJo as much as you guys and not everyone is going to pick up on the same hints as everyone else
While it seems like he has mechanics for fate it is still an asspull, as with some other stuff he does. It's just part of the JoJo package at this point.
The concept of fate is the very reason I started to love JoJo in the first place, most other writers give depth to their stories by pushing incredibly specific concepts as their message, or by giving ambiguous morality to their characters, JoJo isn't like that, but at the same time, it is...
On first look, JoJo is a simple good vs evil story, there's always a hero, just how there's always a clear villain to be defeated by the end. It never gets more complicated than that. But at the base of all of this, is fate, and instead of just brushing it off as "just fate" araki actually commits to explore this concept deeply...
That's JBA's depth...
And in each part, araki explore fate in a different point of view in a different manner by his character motivation goals and action
@@zeinner237 yeah, araki is definitely one of my favorite authors ever, his work always surprises me, specially right now with jojolion

"Could this all have been predetermined by some event that happened long before anyone was aware?"
Almost as if, long ago, "a creator" (as referred to in Jojolion 99) took the first napkin...
Suppose that you were sitting down at this table. The napkins are in front of you, which napkin would you take? The one on your ‘left’? Or the one on your ‘right’? The one on your left side? Or the one on your right side? Usually you would take the one on your left side. That is ‘correct’ too. But in a larger sense on society, that is wrong. Perhaps I could even substitute ‘society’ with the ‘Universe’. The correct answer is that ‘It is determined by the one who takes his or her own napkin first.’ …Yes? If the first one takes the napkin to their right, then there’s no choice but for others to also take the ‘right’ napkin. The same goes for the left. Everyone else will take the napkin to their left, because they have no other option. This is ‘society’… Who are the ones that determine the price of land first? There must have been someone who determined the value of money, first. The size of the rails on a train track? The magnitude of electricity? Laws and Regulations? Who was the first to determine these things? Did we all do it, because this is a Republic? Or was it Arbitrary? NO! The one who took the napkin first determined all of these things! The rules of this world are determined by that same principle of ‘right or left?’! In a Society like this table, a state of equilibrium, once one makes the first move, everyone must follow! In every era, this World has been operating by this napkin principle. And the one who ‘takes the napkin first’ must be someone who is respected by all. It’s not that anyone can fulfill this role… Those that are despotic or unworthy will be scorned. And those are the ‘losers’. In the case of this table, the ‘eldest’ or the ‘Master of the party’ will take the napkin first… Because everyone ‘respects’ those individuals

JoJo Reddit moment.
@@thegodofsoapkekcario1970 Certified Milf hunter moment
JoJo has such deep and interesting villains that can teach us about life and humanity... and then there's kars...
Well...um..............hes flamboyant...thats something I guess.
Insane self-absorbed and supremarcy. That's kars for you.
Kars is just there, being fabulous and T-posing in the light of the sun.
I think Kars represents when a person wants to be perfect above all else, and then uses that as an excuse for atrocities.
Then in the end, what he has attained froze him.
Joseph, however, is clever and uses what he has to win, and he does. He also fights in an honorable way and for his life and eventually the world. Honor, self-preservation, and especially the third thing can be tied to justice, which is also part of fate.
Therefore, one could say that Battle Tendency is saying that fate is attained by working with what you have and being clever instead of seeking “the ultimate solution”, for in clever steps one will eventually face what they need to face. This is opposite Kars, who wanted to be the best and still wasn’t because of luck. It is like Diavolo, but less overt.
@@iantaakalla8180 Remember that Kars loses because he is no longer tied to the Earth's gravitational pull. Diavalo loses because he can no longer arrive at what is fated.
People often ignore how omnipresent fate has been from the start. Also I think that fate aligning itself with justice and peace is a nice thought, especially nowadays.
I concur. Hell, the concept of fate that Araki is presenting could even be what fate truly is in real life. No matter what, no matter how hard you try to circumvent fate, and avoid it, it will eventually correct itself into a right and just path. The most notorious dictators ultimately met their demise through one thing or another, and from that moment on, the countries under that terrible influence started to correct themselves. It takes time... But fate will set it self onto a just path.
Great comments that I agree with
I mean, luck and fate stuck out immediately in the anime (The prologue with the narrator after Dario “saves” George, plus Sono chi no Sadame’s lyrics.), and as soon as Dio’s moles are mentioned.
@Wild Fang They won't listen, but a day will come when they wish that they had.
@Wild Fang Fate hasn't taken effect yet, luckily the cogs of Fate are still moving along.
So basically…
Pucci wanted to make the whole people on the planet like scollopi from part 5…
Scollopi was a clear reference to Jesus, and remember Jesus accepted his own death as his fate in order to reach heaven like the human being he was before the resurrection.
You're wrong. Scollipi wanted others to die and not accept the fate. Pucci and Dio wanted everyone to accept their fates and live a life without fear.
@Tornike Tvalchrelidze Eyes of Heaven isn't even canon. Dio said in Part 6 that he's not seeking for power because it's pointless. Power isn't fun and satisfying. Eyes of Heaven just doesn't make sense, don't even mention it. Pucci would never be friends with Green Baby if their talk wasn't genuine so Dio is completely honest in conversation with Pucci. Or he would just make Pucci a minion in Part 3 if he wouldn't care for him.
@Tornike Tvalchrelidze I'm not saying Araki forgot. Dio kept his plan a secret and has only told Pucci about it because he trust in him because he's friends with him. Dio literally has said in his plan that he needs a trustworthy friend in order to succeed in his plan. The whole point of Part 6 is that Dio's plans was not like in Part 3 all the time and that he just wants to get rid of the Joestars, that's all. His goal was "heaven" and not to rule the world. We can also see that he is extremely calm around his minions. He doesn't consider them as enemies (I'm talking about the ones who weren't paid), but he uses them as power to defeat Joestars. He also wanted to grant them a "peace of mind", which is "heaven" we are told about in part 6.
Wow, I never really read JoJo like this , I did have some ideas of some shit , but not in depth . This video is making me want to read it again , I feel like I missed a lot .
Jojo requires careful study. There is a lot that everyone misses on the first read/watch.
you should have mentioned the Oingo Boingo Bros. thats an excellent example of Fate in jojo
@@dyvyby It's more than just that. As soon as a reading is made in the Manga, the prophecy *must* happen. Boingo's only "fault" is that he can't read between the lines, namely that what he sees is not necessarily happening due to his actions or even soon. Him seeing Jotaro die held utterly true - it's just that he had nothing to do with it and he couldn't realise this.
I'm definitely ready to learn more abiut fate in jojo
Worst fates:KARS
DIAVOLO
and SORBET
Jolyne, Jotaro, Anasui and Hermes too 😔
Explanation:
Reread, Their souls are dead, Irene is not Jolene. Pucci said that the souls of Jolene, Joatro, Anasui and Hermes ceased to exist. Of all the positive characters, they have the worst fate, they did not go to Paradise like Jonathan or Buccellati, they were erased from reality
@@БруноМарс-с2р just finished part 6 and i dont understand why Jolyne would has worst fate.
MRK what? jolyne got the best fate, she lived a great life with her boyfriend and friends with no hardship
sorbet is nothing compared to diavolo and kars though
@@chomchem9855 jolyne final moments are the worst just by Pucci breaking her stand glasses. So rude!
Araki is just the "My goals are beyond your understanding" type of guy and to his credit from the fanbase *YES HE IS*
*_Is the destiny of mankind controlled by some transcendental entity or law? Is it like the Hand of God hovering above? At least, it is true that man has no control, even over his own will._*
Average JoJo "fan": thats an asspull!!!
I really enjoy this breakdown of the "Gravity" and "Fate" part of part 6 which I found as one of the best storylines in Jojo simply because it seems very technical as well as being super ambiguous as to what is really happening
Remember at the end of Part 1, Jonathan is bleeding out and holding Dio's head and the last words he says are how he feels how he and Dio truly are bound by fate. It's highly likely that, with those being the last words Jonathan said to Dio, Dio simply mulled them over for the hundred years he was at sea and came to determine how fate truly could not be fought, therefore the best alternative was to simply know one's fate and then accept it as how it will happen.
Omg Dio thinking about Jonathan's last words for so long is a heartbreaking headcanon to me, that's awesome
The one person DIO regretted killing.
Basically, Araki wants to tell a story about human greatness and that such things as "Is there a god?" or "Can Fate be altered?" are not the right questions to be asked, no matter if your life as a good or a bad one. Ultimately, Araki wants to say "Try what you can to be good and moral and do not concern yourself with things vastly outside your realm of control." What all villains in JoJo have in common is that they try to direct things in their favour on a grand scale, be it the world, Fate itself or the entire universe and everyone therein, whereas the heroes take what comes and then act according to their morals. The gist of JoJo is "be a good person".
INCREDIBLE VIDEO! Makes Stone Ocean way more clear.
On that note I would like to suggest a similar video but maybe fleshing out the perspective of the protagonists? How Josuke believed in helping others instead of ignoring them, Giorno believed in giving life instead of taking it, and Jolyne.
I don't recall Giorno sparing any lives
I've noticed the conflicting ideals between Diavolo and DIO and always found it interesting. It's a shame both of these villains are often misunderstood
In the summer of 2017 I made a video talking about how much I love part 5 for its use of fate, and couldn't believe how many commenters were "surprised" at the depth, or claimed they changed their position on GER having now understood the significance of fate. I'm so glad that more people are discussing the fate theme now, because it really is integral to the genius of the whole series.
Reading Manga in Theory and Practice is what really drove it home for me, and I honestly believe it's a must read for anyone who likes JoJo. It's pretty much guaranteed to give you a deeper appreciation!

Jojo's use of fate is beautiful.

What people have to understand is that Jojo isn't simply a character drama, or a shonen about setting up good fights. It tells a story about the unconscious, and the hypothetical evolution of humans to a higher state of being. It needs grand and abstract plot mechanics to get all that across. If you take the plot about fate and resolve etc away, all you have is a race for the macguffin for that part, aka the stand arrow, red stone of aja etc. It'd be lame.
No
@@turtleboy1188Care to explain ?
Honestly out of all the instance of fate I have seen in Jojo, the one that seems the silliest to get mad at is the Tarot Card one. For one thing, from a writing perspective, did you really want to have 3 Stars, 9 Chariots and 6 Hermits? It would make the Stand names more confusing and less unique. Besides that, Tarot Cards are all about fate, out of everything in Jojo I expect that to at least give the character's their fated Stand names. Finally, its a dumb thing to get mad at anyway given all the other crazy things that happen in the series. You mean to tell me you can accept people using buff ghosts with super powers to fight people, you can accept a 100+ year old vampire with the ability to stop time, you can accept a dog with human intelligence, but people getting unique names from Tarot Cards is where you draw the line? Its really odd how people are so willing to accept completely crazy and extreme ideals but still sweat the little stuff. If Jojo was more realistic then that would be fine but its not, it has magic sun martial arts powers, buff ghost summons, big ass buff guys who can eat you just by touching you and Jesus' corpse gives you super powers. Crazy shit happens, an extremely unlikely scenario is the least of these.
Sorry but wdym by "Jesus' corpse?"

I love the explanation of fate being gravity, cause even in the real world unless we prove that elementary particles are completely random (superposition) we can safely say that everything in the universe is predetermined
Imagine saying the artist's drawing purpose is bullshit because you simply don't like it. Fate literally existed in all of the parts of JoJo
Ikr literally the _entire point_ of Will Zeppeli's sacrifice was that he outright knew he was _fated_ to die in battle against the Stone Mask's consequences if he kept pursuing their defeat yet valiantly charged ahead anyway. We literally even see a flashback of one of his guru teachers outright seeing Zeppeli's future ahead of time and predicting the situation Zeppeli would find himself in after reading his palm, so readers going "lol fate copout" when fate was defined as a real fundamental thing as far back as the _first part in the series_ is maddening.
Even in part 1 Speedwagon says the line: "Some people are just fated ro meet each other"
It literally exists all around us.
Nobody applies the term "Dumbness" to entire JJBA just because of how annoying the fate is. But still... If you know that villains will lose, how can you worry for the MCs?
@@shazamman2287Villains lose in almost every type of fiction . The question isn't if they can beat the villain , it's how they can beat the villain . Also Jonathan lost to Dio so there is that . Also Fate ≠ Victory for the good guys .

@yetihasautism Araki talking to himself.
This is such a well put together video that explains so much about how the parts of JoJo are actually connected. For a long time I just didn't really understand how all of the different parts work together (even thinking that parts contradicted each other) but your videos have really helped me understand the more in-depth philosophy of Araki in his storytelling. Seriously, really amazing stuff!
An in depth explanation on how Araki weaves fate into Jojo is brilliant. Even if a story arc is completed, not everyone's fate has concluded, like Fugo in Purple Haze Feedback or Kira in Dead Man's Questions. Apart from most other media that have poorly worded or executed takes on fate, I can see how careful Araki is in the way he implements it into Jojo. Clearly, major Stands like King Crimson, The World, Killer Queen and Made in Heaven are the most influential to fate, but there are several others that appear like the Requiem Stands or Boingo's Thoth, the latter of which suggests that fate is the most patient element in Jojo since it took 24 years for one of its predictions to come true. And as was explained with the differences between DIO's and Diavolo's takes on fate (one who accepts vs one who denies), fate is patient, but also unforgiving if it's outright rejected.
If this hasn't been done already, may I suggest you cover how the Requiem Stands work? I know that a Requiem Stand comes when the arrow pierces the Stand, but I'm not sure if there's more to it than that.
So basically in Jojo as long as you accept your own fate and do what you think is right, fate will favor you even when you die. The only reason why Jojo's villain will lose to Jojo is all because they deny their own fate and death at the very end whereas character like all the jobro accept their own destined death and try their best to help the protagonist which results in their "win" over the villain/ death of the villain even when they no longer alive. Please tell me if I am wrong tho, Hamon Beat. Like your videos!
Almost every video by Hamon Beat makes me deepen my appreciation for the storytelling of Jojo and Araki's philosophy in writing stories. Keep up the good work, and thanks for really illustrating these factors of Jojo in such a concise yet thoughtful way.
In the spirit of showing the contrast of each villain in how they view fate, perhaps you can disscuss the duality of the characters in the series (such as Josuke and Kira in Part 4)

Indeed although I do want to hear Hamon Beat's understanding/take on the subject
Ivan Louis J Barrantes Right, that’s why I used the sarcastic font.
"Fate only follows the path of justice" line hit different when you look back at all the parts and how much every protagonist from each part had to go through, and they still were on the side of justice and what was right. Jojo really is a perfect anime
Even before I knew about JJBA, I've always thought about why things happen and all that fate stuff. This is probs why I ended up being pretty obsessed to the series (especially part 5 and 6)
The way I see it, fate is it's own character. Like some vehicles in movies or tv shows, such as the DeLorian in the B2tF series or The Shining/the supernatural power good guys have in Steven King books.
I wish we could see more of the universe where people knew their fate (heaven according to the mentally unstable vampire and priest) we see it happening a bit during Emporio vs. Pucci but not a lot. Imagine you knew that you would die in a car crash you would try your best to avoid cars but alas fate will caught up to you, this is actually fucked up making people filled with extreme paranoia just to have that bad stuff happened to them.
You are such a genius. When talking about the right path you played the OST from GW also named "the right path"
What makes fate in JoJo's so much more believable is how fate doesn't always favour the protagonists . Like how it was revealed that Bruno, Narancia and Abbacchio were fated to die from the very beginning after the Rolling Stone arc and how they were unable to change their fate . The only difference between the heroes and Diavolo is that they accepted their fate and tried to do their best in the time they were given unlike Diavolo who was obsessed with changing fate
Unfortunately, this video is fated to be misunderstood by JoJo "fans."

I feel like the idea of inevitability of fate, fate as gravity, as a tragic force, is extremely fitting with the "Flow" speech of Satoru from the last chapter (99 for people of the future) of Jojolion.
i love all of jjba and listening to you talk about it always gives another perspective. keep doing you dude ty for all the time spent making these.
Personally, I've never seen Diavolo as someone who wants to overcome fate. Time and time again whenever he talks about his stand and fate, he always says that fate "chose" him. That fate chose him to be the "King", gave him King Crimson, and somewhat use fate to his advantage. Not that he wants to rule over fate. I believe he thinks that fate always sides with him, not that he wants to control it; that he KNOWS everything is fated/predestined, but that in every predestination, he always comes out on top, which is proven wrong by Giorno saying that it's justice and following the righteous path is what fate sides with, not Diavolo. Almost as if he thinks Fate gave him King Crimson to use fate as his weapon, someone on his side through seeing what fate decides to happen, not something he can actually control or rule over. We never saw a scene of Diavolo "overcoming fate", he never saw his premonition not be in his favor and him overcoming that (you can say during the Metallica fight, but was he really fated to lose to Risotto? Just as much as he was fated to be injured, he still believed that fate chose him to be the winner and defeated Risotto using a stand that he believes was given to him by fate). He never thought he is fated to fail and that he tries to overcome it, he believes that fate itself sides with him and that his premonitions always show him as the winner no matter what, that even if needles appear inside of him, that in the end, he still trusts fate to side with him. Not even Giorno talked about himself or Requiem being above fate (since Requiem can be interpreted to be above fate because it overcame King Crimson's premonition which is said as absolutely fated to happen), only that fate favors the righteous path and defeats evil. Diavolo was delusional in the sense that he thinks he was chosen by fate, not that he thinks that he can overcome it.
Diavolo doesn't think that he can change fate. He only thinks that fate always sides with him, not that he's on top of it and can alter/control it. He's almost similar to someone like Kira, who thinks fate and luck is always by their side when in fact justice is what fate ultimately sides with, or Pucci who thinks "God" is on his side and let him use Made in Heaven to achieve Heaven.
In summary, I don't think King Crimson is about overcoming fate, and Giorno and the gang accepting it, it's just about who/what fate favors, and Diavolo thought it was him but Giorno proved him wrong and said it was justice.
The bad guys think that fate always sides with them, while the good guys believe that even if they were fated to lose and die, that justice will still be served since it's the righteous path. I don't think anyone in JoJo thought about overcoming or ruling over fate. They just thought it favors one or the other.
It honestly baffles me how much some people underestimate part 6. It instantly became my favourite after realizing how important it is to jojo's universe as a whole and how good of an ending it is.
The people who say "bohoo fate is just plot armor" are probably the same who ignore the only jojo part that throughly explores this crucial concept
People that don't understand fate in Jojo are the same people who think the way Kira died way was silly when he actually has one of the best deaths in the series, or that "GER is a Deus Ex Machina", when infact part 5 is one of the best poetic and thematically written manga, or the concept of Gravity and Heaven that DIO lays out clearly that later goes on to fulfill itself in everyway through part 6s plot and Pucci's intial success, or those who say Alt Diego is a cop out when there is so much set up as to why Johnny cannot win. And theres SEVERAL other examples 💯

@@Schnoz42069 The reason it's not really a deus ex machina is because it's not an unexpected power or event. The arrow and the requiem ability was built up beforehand. Deus ex machinas, on the other hand, is used to resolve plots with a sudden and unexpected event just to give a positive ending. The requiem ability being able to counter King Crimson is expected and definitely poetic justice. I suppose what was unexpected was the huge ass whooping that was dealt to King Crimson and Diavolo, and more people wanted an even fight before the last hit. I don't think an even fight would fit the story nor the build-up for the arrow/requiem.
That one dog that was saved in part 2, definitely had epitaph
I think you should making a video examining Diavolo’s split personality and how much of it is rooted in real world psychology
Fate in JoJo is the best I've ever seen the topic handled. It's a series all about fate and humanity's role in the world. It really is beautifully poetic in so many ways, irony and justice permeates the whole story. And my favourite thing about it is that it's still relevant to this day, because Araki is so passionate about this idea that he always keeps portraying it in new and exciting and inventive ways. Perhaps now more than ever with Part 8, as the (assumed) big bad seems to be able to "enforce" fate itself by weaponizing accidents (a.k.a calamities) with Wonder of U. This was a great video and I loved the insight!
As an Orthodox Christian, I can relate exactly to the JoJo's acceptation of fate
And in a totally different way, in Avatar The Last Airbender we see the exact same kind of understanding fate as the main JoJo's at their respective parts.
If you don't believe me, go watch it now
That’s facts
I think you can even relate more to it in part 7, the amount of the theme of "prayers" and "miracles" in it is admirable
I like to compare Pucci's heaven plan to the equivalent of picking up a book you haven't read yet and skipping all the way to the end without reading the middle. A world of spoilers. A world without the element of surprise. How would you like it if you knew exactly how many steps you'll take before you get run over by a car? Or if you knew your child would grow up to become a murderer? And you can't change it because fate is set in stone. Or at least that's how Pucci sees it.
Can we just talk about that one comment at the start which stated that part 5 is the worst one? Like wtf. It's one of the best

Great video as always. I love your vision on JoJo and how you express it on video. You are one of the best JoJo related channels on youtube
This video coincidentally has the best KC description I've ever heard:
1. He sees the future
2. He can change what he does in that seen future
3. What he saw is absolute though, so it still happens as if he hadn't changed his actions
4. Everyone else cannot react to his changed movements (they perceive a time skip)
Just finished reading Part 6, and had to come watch this and the Heaven Plan videos, and now many things are finally clear.
Also, i do believe there is another series with such a fleshed out system of fate, the Type-Moon/Nasuverse universe (the so called Fate series), even with people going through elaborated plots to influence the system to their favor, but honestly I'm nowhere close to be informed enough about that to compare them
As a Nasuverse fan, Gravity/Fate is also a heavy influence in its works; Mahoutsukai no Yoru, Kara no Kyoukai (then we have its Swirl of the Root, where it is essentially the Alpha and the Omega, where things come from and return to eventually and Mystic Eyes of Death Perception which says that objects with these lines are fated to die but severing these lines of death bypass the actual cause of death), then Tsukihime, which also brings back the same eyes.
Then we literally have the series aptly named Fate, Stay Night, Extra/CCC, Grand Order, Extella and so on. Where all are bound by gravity itself and in the same virtue as JoJo, should you follow Justice, you are rewarded as well.
Also plays well with their multiverse aspects.
0:53 one of the comments said part 5 was trash. I wonder how stupid that guy is to think it's trash because of fate being used in it? I may have a least favorite part in JoJo but I consider every part to be good in some way or another.
I have never heard King Crimsons ability explained that way, but now it makes perfect sense. Like I thought I understood it before, but I was never able to conceptualize it so concisely. Great video!
Seems kind of sad that Diavolo's paranoia was such that he would've been far better served not going to extremes to hide his identity. It's those extremes that align people against him in the first place and what ends up making him a target more than simply being the enigmatic boss ever did.
Reason why pucchi won in stone ocean (world reset) is that he trully believed fate as a fact
Unlike the other villains who try to dodge, control or chase it
Good thing we have you.
This video gave me renewed vigor in my appreciation for Jojo. I've always been a fan of fate as a mechanical feature as opposed to an abstraction to justify abstractions. By making the Fate in Jojo into a fundamental force like Gravity, something which characters can interact with and even test, it makes the potential depth to the story exponentially greater, especially considering how Araki considers a great villain to be one who controls time and space, which fundamentally means they control fate to some extent. (If we consider one's position in space to be the result of ongoing fate).
Mostly, this just filled me with Jojo hype, though. Hats off to you, sir. I'm subscribing just so that I have access to this video.

The thing with fate is that you can never overcome it because whatever you do was allready predestinated, even your thoughts are predestinated, one could say that while we are aware of ourselves we do not have free will, we only think we do for we do not know th Future.
Actually understanding Fate is something that helps you find peace to be honest, because you realize that everything happens for a reason and that no matter how bad things are there are no mistakes.
When you accept yourself as just another part of the game playing your part in History you will be at peace.
The easiest way to sum it all up is Araki is the god of JoJo and all characters in JoJo bend to the will of Araki’s will and whatever happens in JoJo is whatever the fuck Araki wants it to be. Jojo characters can experience the sorties being written by Araki and the characters decided that it’s fate moving them along a set path rather than a middle aged Japanese man making up their lives as he goes along.

Pretty much. Fate decided that the main villain will fail

OMG THIS VID IS SO GOOD I HAD NO CLUE ABOUT HALF THIS STUFF THANK YOU SO SO MUCH
chill nigga
i personally think Diavolo rather lost because he suddenly yearned for fate to be in his favour, while fighting Giorno, after constantly trying to overcome it.
Fate was never in is favor and thus he always had to watch his back and did so. but the second, he abandoned his original path, fate kicked him in the jaw.
i mean, wasn't this also the only time where the pre-cognition of Epitaph showed him winning?
every time Epitaph showed him seemingly loosing, Diavolo/Doppio actually won.
Great video. I think that Araki's philosophy regarding fate could ultimately be compared to what's happened over the course of history. Something bad happens, but it ultimately corrects itself in some way.
Neither Dio nor Pucci knew exactly what would happen when you attain Heaven. Dio only wanted to achieve some sort of mysterious ultimate power which the control of the flow of time essentially is. The way Pucci used it was his own idea.
This is a top-notch video! It's too rare to see themes in any work being discussed intelligently without appeals to 'muh feels'.
