I'd like the imagine the final villain of Jojolands to be Pucci or Kars level of OP. Jodio maybe dies at the end or we get a sweet ending like stone ocean and getting out of the Mechanism
With Part 1, it ties thematically to the very complex nature of Jonathan/DIO’s relationship, is a shocking twist for a first timer, and is a proper tragedy that contrasts with the usual themes of optimism of the series.
@@Gamfluent jotaor lost because of both pucci would kill jotaro by himself firstly and secondly the what if would be apllied to litterally every single part were was josuke in part 5?
@@Gamfluent "But it ignores part 4 and 5" What ? wdym by "it only works if you ignore literraly everything" the last 5 parts are not different only part 6 changes the fate of Pucci
@@Gamfluent All those characters from part 4 and part 5 are literally on the other side of the world, minding their own business. SPW had no real information on what exactly was going on, Jolyne herself only learns Pucci is the mastermind when its late already and she only gets time to return Jotaro's memory disc after the Heavy Weather arc, and by that point they only had a few HOURS to deal with Pucci. No way in hell any part 4 or 5 character would be able to get there in time to be of any use.
And may I just add, it's preposterous how many people think that the ending of part 6, with Emporio beating Pucci is "random, out of nowhere, or forced ". This is actually perfect as an ending for Pucci's character and all of Stone Ocean, fitting the theme of fate and justice perfectly. All throughout the story, fate ensured that Pucci will attain heaven for everyone, making the people know the future of their life, to accept it and live happily. But Pucci, after sensing that he will be defeated by Emporio someday in the future, chose to stop the acceleration process right before he succeeded to go kill Emporio, thus he defied fate, the one thing helping him to win, he wants everyone to accept their fate, but rejected his own fate of death. This is the moment his hypocrisy and evil lay bare, the moment he chose to let go of fate, fate let go of him and made him drop from heaven all the way to hell, The ending of Stone Ocean made a lot of sense, Very Much sense and is close to perfection in conveying the theme, which is to acknowledge your destiny while still not giving up hopes and fight on. It just needed more thinkings to realise how masterfully done and how much symbolism Stone Ocean had and sadly so many people didn't.
Note, though, that for the entire time of that chase sequence, Emporio is desperately trying to change fate, by trying to avoid going where Pucci already knows he'll go. At no point in time does he accept fate, but tries to play around it in the end by having Pucci change it for him. So what exactly is "fate" then, in JBA? Honestly, a similar event occurred elsewhere. Kira Yoshikage lost only because Hayato decided to defy fate dictated by Bites the Dust, at which he succeeded when Kira stated who he is to Josuke who himself wasn't late to the meetup, defying fate as a butterfly effect from Hayato defying fate. And Kira stating who he is isn't an attempt to change fate by Kira, but rather doing the same thing he did as dictated by fate before. Kira's fate was changed by another's hand trying to cheat fate, not his own. But here's the thing. Why wasn't it Emporio's fate that was changed? Kira's was changed because Hayato worked to change it, but Emporio's fate wasn't changed when Pucci tried to change it. Is there a logic lineup here where there isn't a serial hypocrisy in deciding who fate favors when people try to break away from it?
@@Crossil Kira was manipulating fate with his BTD, same as Pucci with his MIH. Both Hayato and Emporio broke free from fate due to Kira/Pucci's actions, but it was in the name of restoring the proper "fates", to everyone. Similar to how Diavolo kept avoiding his fate with KC, only for GER to finally deal his punishment.
I hated it so much at first and thought it was bad but after time passed and i reread i realized it was good just in a weird bitter sweet sort of way. Just was so shocking on the first read
@@Eyoballin Yeah for me it felt very overrated and a bit anti climatic at first. its a good ending now but part 7 was a lot better on the first read. a lot lol
Im so glad someone else loves pt 4’s ending as much as I do. It’s straightforward like pt 3 but still so rich and full of detail and has had so much story leading up to it’s conclusion. I love how the main cast all collectively help defeat kira. It just has such a natural build up of tension and bites The dust was the perfect power up for kira. The ending montage also felt perfectly in place and not cheap at all because of how wide the cast was and the setting of the part. While 6’s ending is my favorite, 4 and 7 are the most rounded out.
Also I love the high voltage arc in pt 7, I know some people don’t like it because they feel like it undermines funny Valentine as the main villain but that entire fight was set up by valentine in the first place and shows how dedicated he is to his ideologies, and gives closure to Johnny and Diego. It also gave us one of the most badass moments in all of jojo with Lucy Steele.
I have seriously never cried so loud at a piece of fiction until I saw Stone Ocean's ending. Even two weeks later, whenever I would randomly think about it I would start tearing up right then and there. I think the term 'masterpiece' gets thrown around a lot nowadays, but I truly and utterly believe that Stone Ocean's ending deserves the title of masterpiece. It truly, truly, is peak fiction.
Me too! I never cried over an anime ending except for Stone Ocean , it had this lingering effect on someone who’s been there for the whole journey 🚶🏽♂️
Part 5's final battle wasn't about Giorno (G.E.R.) vs. Diavolo, it was before that. The battle was between the crew and the main villain fighting to secure the Requiem arrow.
With Part 4, there’s nothing that can improved. Everything is resolved with no lingering plot threads or hypotheticals like the previous ones; everyone has a chance to sense so no one feels underutilized; and it ends probably the happiest out of the endings to date.
Oh. This might sound weird, but in my opinion the final fight of part 5 was the entire chase from the colosseum to the streets which lead to GER. GER was simply the climax and resolution of the fight over the fight itself. Why I like GER a lot.
I wouldn't really call part 5's ending a "power up-based win", because that implies that the requiem was the means through which the protagonists won. Though not an entirely inaccurate way of looking at it, as both the protagonists and main antagonist were seeking the requiem, it'd probably be better to think of it as being the win condition unto itself, rather than the "win" being treated as a separate goal that the requiem provides the means to achieve.
well you could say that if that was giornos actual goal giorno wanted to be the mafia boss the only way to do that is yknow off some particular person who if he got the reqium arrow giorno could not achieve that goal so yes they are seperate the arrow is just the means of achieving the goal
The issue with “the chase to get the arrow was the real final battle” is that Giorno hardly did anything lol. He didn’t do anything clever to beat Diavolo’s time skip, Polnareff and Trish did that. He didn’t figure out the weakness to Chariot Requiem or make a big sacrifice to beat the villain, Bruno did that. That’s why GER feels like a “Giorno was fated to win” thing like part 2. Yes the power of friendship & teamwork is of course a thing in shonen but like, that was the whole theme of part 4’s ending yet we still got to see Josuke fighting Kira in a top notch battle of wits & ideals. I really can’t say the same for Giorno, his true final fight was vs Cioccolata.
I am sad how they couldn’t license to play “What A Wonderful World” at the ending of Stone Ocean’s anime adaptation though, not where “Roundabout” plays but when “Distant Dreamer” starts playing at the moment Irene speaks to Emporio. Otherwise the character acting animation in that ending itself made me start crying.
I watched your video about Tooru a while ago (the one where you said you started liking him). And I gotta say, it feels good to have someone else also like/love Tooru as a villain. I don’t know why, but it just does.
The moment he started playing (essentially) his own theme song while Yasuho is dying in the background; I knew he got me. Not cause I dislike Yasuho, I'd say she was my favorite character in part 8. But cause Tooru was just built different to do all that; on top of having Wonder of U as a stand
@chrismidulla7721 No, I'm not doing anything, that's genuinely the number of things I noted which makes it genius from a writing perspective. It's only coincidence that it happens to relate to the number of current parts.
@@nullplusone8579 1) Kira constantly managed to barely scrape by through his insane luck, but was done in by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. 2) He prided himself on going unnoticed as he phases into the background of any social setting he goes into, and was killed by an ambulance driver that didn't notice him. 3) He had to meet his first two victims (at least, to our knowledge) in death. 4) His hand being bitten off mirrored the fate that would befall his many victims. 5) Not to mention, it was specifically his trigger hand that he lost. 6) He was dragged to what was implied at the time - even though that was sorta retconned later - to be the pits of hell, denying him the peaceful life he so desperately desired by making sure he could never rest peacefully in death. 7) It was specifically _hands_ that dragged him away, the thing he obsessed over in life. 8) And, rather mockingly, they're _male_ hands - had they been female, he might have taken a very slight degree of enjoyment in the situation buried beneath all the negative emotions the situation would have caused him. And uh.. I don't remember the ninth, sorry. Been a fat minute since I last recounted this.
@@purplehaze2358 Would you count the ambulance specifically ripping his face off count? Since he changed his identity with Cinderella, a stand that swaps your face to change identities. And the only reason people knew it was Kira that died was cause he was saying the name, again an action that brought the man that hid from the world to be the center of attention
FINALLY. Someone who appreciates the part 6 ending as much as me. People calling the part bad and the ending pointless cause it makes everything not-canon just don't get the point. It's such a thematically perfect ending and it needs to be appreciated more.
A thing lots of people do know is the fact that when Emporio summon Weather Report, it does the same pose Jolyne did in a chapter cover, showing that a little bit of her soul touched the stand
Joseph surviving a volcanic eruption through being shielded by a chunk of rock, and then surviving falling from high orbit into the ocean, is roughly on the same level as Indiana Jones surviving a nuclear bomb inside a refrigerator. That's not luck - that's just an impossibility no matter what way you look at it.
Part 1-3 asspulls should be talked about more everybody gets on Jotaro having the world(which yeah is an asspull) but Joseph winning gets a pass because it's "thematic"
With Part 6, it is truly a shocking ending that is tragic, surreally horrific, and bittersweet. It is the climax of the original continuity and in spite of some controversies, it’s the best it can be.
Personally, I think Part 6 is the most beautiful. Even with the universal reset and whatnot I love the thought that everyone who died in the previous universe still exists, albeit changed, and that no matter what all of their fates are tied together somehow.
"They're the same without the memories" That's definitionally not the same, people are the culmination of their lifetime of experiences and if you take that away, you're fundamentally not another person. Foo Fighters literally spells this out in their final scene and somehow it constantly gets missed. That entire character arc starts with her taking on the apperance of a different person entirely and developing her own unique personality, even using the stand disc to make a new FF wouldnt be the one we knew.
The Requiem Quietly Plays is easily the most misunderstood arc in the series, the perfect final battle for Golden Wind and people only dislike it because it's unconventional. It stays true to Part 5, and a big Part 3-style final fight between Gio and Diavolo would not fit at all. Stardust Crusaders' fights were all about focusing on each character of the cast at a time, giving them development and problems to solve by themselves. As such during the DIO's World arc, each character takes turns at fighting DIO until they can come up with a way to beating him. Golden Wind on the other hand is much more about teamwork, character interaction, dealing with enemy teams and the environment they're in, and thus that's what the final battle is also about. Anything else would feel out of place. People complain that Giorno vs Diavolo was short and underwhelming, but that's because that's not what the fight was supposed to be, that was simply the result of the true fight, of characters working together to retrieve the arrow and kill Diavolo for good. Having another 10 chapters of Giorno and Diavolo going back and forth would heavily undermine Bruno's sacrifice and the team effort made to get to that point, instead giving all the glory of to Giorno, which would simply feel wrong after all the gang has been through.
Omg you get it!! Honestly at this point I’m used to people not getting the part 5 ending but the reasons you listed are exactly the reason why I love the arc so much, and why it stands out to me among the rest of the endings. GW has such deep character writing and I agree that a standard shounen battle would’ve undermined that aspect.
i just wanna say that the stone ocean ending was perfect for jolynes charecter throughout jojo puccis basiclly said it the joestars have been guided by fate to fight evil but once we get to jolyne we finally see the defiance in her choices unlike everyother joestar jolyne oesnt just let the world pass her or doesnt just accept her fate she actively defies it as best said by one of her greatest quotes one prisioner sees the wall the other sees the stars through the bars the first prisioner is basiclly a representation of part 1-5 they dont question their fate the only just go with it through the flow they never try to outright go against it while jolyne chooses to see the stars she chooses to not just fall in line with her fate and decides to fight against it which is why when she dies you can see thoose butterflys flying free and the sun(a star) flying above her shes finally free she doesnt have to let her descendant fight evil and in the alternate universe all of this is proven as jolyne is the only joestar who didnt have to fight a main villian yes jonathen still died joseph still fought kars jotaro fought dio but this time pucci never interferred cause he never existed josuke still fought kira and giorno still fought diavolo but jolyne didnt ever fight pucci she was free she could now just live her life as what a normal joestar would without the threat of a world dominating maniac in pursuit
SBR ending was better than stone ocean's ending. Stone ocean's ending is the 2nd best but overrated. It felt rushed and in a way almost anti climatic. (Emporio killing Pucci and the story just continues like nothing happened) (I still love it but its just way too overhyped) Don't roast me lol
@@joe-j9h2j you cant call stone ocean ovveratted when your saying sbr is has a better ending the msot ovveratted part for some good reasons others just gas
@@arminkir9389 I can't believe Araki ended Part 4 by having the main character come out as gay out of nowhere. Definitely in the "Is this because I'm a lesbian?" tier of character farewells.
@@joe-j9h2j anything popular isnt overrated. everytime part 6 ending is praised there are always some people calling it shit. its not overrated in anyway. how was it anti climatic? literally faith itself fucked over pucci, jolyne sacrificing herself for emporio like some onepiece will of d shit, it was all great. i think you might be talking about a kid beating pucci? but the ending is much more than that one scene.
With Part 3, the fight with Vanilla Ice onwards more than makes up for the roller coaster of drawn out forgettable moments and exciting moments. It is a tense, action-packed drama where sacrifices are made, an epic and unique battle of wits occurs to stop the ultimate evil, and it resolves itself in a bittersweet manner. While there nitpicks like Jotaro’s shared time-stopping maybe having more explicit foreshadowing rather than the rather Deus ex machina manner it’s brought up, it’s overall an ending I wouldn’t change.
Great list bro, wouldn't change a thing, I can't really opinate about Steel Ball Run cuz I speedread that part (I really need to re-read it), Stone Ocean's ending was just perfec and I love to see people who agree. Amazing video, keep up the good work 👍
Glad to see some love for Stone Ocean's ending here. I absolutely adore how in the original universe, the centuries-long saga of the Joestar family began with a blonde orphaned outcast who was born into a life of crime being ushered into a family where he felt unwelcome (and therefore in turn said orphan feels compelled compelled to take his internalized self-loathing and externalize it by hurting others)... only for the saga to end with that same family taking in ANOTHER blonde orphaned outcast who was born into a life of crime and doing everything conceivable within their power to protect him, cherish him, love him, and show him he is capable of breaking the cycles of generational trauma that have defined their own lives, too. Every step in the chain of sacrifice that composes the back half of Part 6, from Weather to Anasui to Ermes to Jotaro to Jolyne... all that death and destruction, calamity and self -sacrifice and dark determination, it all ends with Emporio- the Sole Survivor, standing against the master plan of the Holy Diver. For Dio, a man who grew up in a prison of generational poverty, Heaven was to know what was ordained- to know that all would be well in the end and that he would emerge triumphant from the prison of his circumstances. But for Emporio, who grew up in a literal prison and only found his first taste of what life could be like outside the stone walls and steel bars of his solitary life through the Joestars, Heaven meant freedom... freedom from cyclical pain, the freedom to fly and fall and make mistakes and live with hope for tomorrow. Even before Araki created Stands, his writing was always focused on the soul- more specifically, on how the living inherit the "fighting spirit," the resolve and intentions of those they love after death- and in pitting Fr. Pucci, the ultimate inheritor of Dio's wrath and agony (another broken boy in his own right) against Emporio, the boy who inherited the Joestar fighting spirit, Araki adds one last little wrinkle of poetic irony and thematic cohesion to the end of Part 6. Because if Emporio ultimately symbolizes everything the Joestars stood for, dating all the way back to Jonathan, and Pucci symbolizes all that Dio came to be, then that only makes Emporio beating Pucci with his brother's Stand that much sweeter. It's both tragic and triumphant all at once. There are some elements of Part 6 that aren't my favorite, but once the narrative reaches the point where our characters are forced to sacrifice themselves one by one so that the rest may live, there's nothing that beats the overwhelming atmosphere of inevitability and dread Made in Heaven creates (a feeling Yugo Kanno captured beautifully in Part 6's dark, desperate-sounding motifs). Too long, didn't read; thanks for making this video and giving me an excuse to write a whole essay in the comments about why I think Stone Ocean slaps.
I still feel like Part 5’s ending is some high level thinking I haven’t gotten yet. Like when I’m 90 on my deathbed I’ll be like, “I get it know! Their fate was always written by themselves…..(flatline)…..”
@@joe-j9h2j No, not everyone thinks it is great, for me the ending was one of the worst parts of SBR. SPOILERS, the whole valentine defeat wasnt anything great, gyro dies and johnny learns how to unlock the final ability and one shot the antagonist, the typical jojo ending in spirit, okay it wasnt bad but not great either. then araki included the unnecessary diego fan service fight. which was fun but not great ending wise.
I think the best Jojo Ending is Part 4's ending: First, it made a background Character relevant: the Final arc starts with hayato being stuck in a ground dog day like situation with kira sloweky killing off the Main cast until hayato managed to outsmart him and save everyone. Second, Everyone got a shine on the spotlight: Hayato saves everyone from dying, Josuke wounded kira, Okuyasu saved josuke and jotaro and koichi gave kira the final blow. Everyone feels relevant here and it's nice to see the heroes not win through a new power up but through Teamwork. Third, Kira: Kira during the entire Arc was now more of a threat then before: First he gained a new Ability which allowed him to kill off first rohan and then the ENTIRE Cast! Seeing a villain actually managing to kill off the main cast is both interesting and horrifing. Though thankfully hayato changed that. But even then he Remained a dangerous threat as he almost killed okuyasu and Actually came that close into killing josuke. Then comes his Demise: Instead of dying to the Heroes, kira died to an ambulance. It's a mix of Realisitic, ridiculously funny and poetic: Kira spend his entire life being unoticed and now he died because the ambulance didn't noticed him. And if this isn't better we are shown what happend to him in the afterlife: he get confronted by the first person he killed and get tracked into hell with the things he always loved the most: Hands. Seeing this Guy finally getting the justice he deserved was just Gold. And at last the final Scene: The final scene is so good for me cuz it's shows us one last look into morioh and shows us how all The characters are now living their lives peacefully and how we can all be happy seeing the characters finally living their lives peacefully and happy in Morioh. And that all is why i think part 4's Ending is the best ending overall in the entire series.
I 100% agree. In a series full of bitter sweet and even downright sad endings, part 4 stands out as having the happiest conclusion. The final montage of the Morioh cast living bizarre yet peaceful lives is so uplifting with Great Days playing in the background
100% agree totally (expect from the part that radio gaga accident is a good episode to bring back lucy but yes maybe I would have put it in another part of jojolion)
I really like Part 5's Rolling Stone arc, and I love that something similar happened in Part 8 with the Radio Gaga Incident - an epilogue about important characters set before the first chapter even takes place, which reinforces the theme found throughout the part.
IMO the radio gaga incident does two things 1. Sets up for part 9 (araki said this) 2. Frames the rock people and the incidents of morioh as similar to part 2. You cite tooru as being similar to Kars and I think that's absolutely intentional and wonder of u and toorus character are a less shonen/more grounded depiction of that kind of race that serves the story more
I think stone oceans ending is perfect. Araki proceeded to make the best parts after that with part 8 being my favorite but steel ball is amazing also. I still don’t understand the people who can’t comprehend that the ending of stone ocean has absolutely nothing to do with parts 7-8…. It wasn’t reset into that world at all. I like part 7’s ending also really bittersweet
Even despite watching the whole series at once with everything alredy out, that hit hard. I can imagine what it'd be for fans that actually followed from part 1
I completely disagree about Rolling Stone in part 5 and to a lesser extent Radio Gaga. I just love the way that arc recontextualizes the entire journey. As an epilogue, it doesn't really feel out of place because the story was over anyway, so that at least doesn't bother me. What Rolling Stone means for fate in Jojo is massive and I love that arc for how it handles it, so for that reason I'd honestly have part 5's ending be one of my top favorites.
With Part 2- the emotional climax was with Wamuu, the fight with Kars is very drawn out- with unfair schemes that go against the previous characterization of the character and while the revelation of Kara’s ultimate goal is cool and Kars being sent into space iconic- it’s ended too quickly before we wrap up the story in a manner that feels more like getting bullet points down to get to the more important Part 3.
8. Part 2 - Fun But Stupid, long and Unsatisfying. 7. Part 5 - Super Unsatisfying. 6. Part 8 - One of the Best Parts with The Worst Final Villain; would be Higher if Tooru wasn't so ass, there weren't so many loose ends and Radio Gaga wasn't just thrown in so unrelated. 5. Part 3 - If JoJo ended here it would be perfectly fine and satisfying. 4. Part 4 - The most complete conclusion with the least loose ends and lingering questions. 3. Part 1 - As someone who went in nearly blind, thinking that Old Joseph was an Aged Jonathon from minor spoiler exposure, this hit me perfectly. 2. Part 7 - High Voltage is perhaps my Favourite Fight in the Series and the Ending going so far beyond the Main Villains Defeat is something I wish was done more. 1. Part 6 - The Perfect Conclusion to the Main Universe as a whole and by far the most emotionally impactful.
Even after seeing stone ocean’s ending i still think about it even months later. If a piece of fiction is able to stay with you long after viewing it then it’s effective at what it set out to do.
Man! I cant wait for SBR's anime debut... I dont mind if they extend it any further. All what matters is that it gets a good budget for its animation department. I am also wondering if they add any filler plot to it. (I hope not)
Great video! I think it's also important to mention that part 6's ending is about breaking the curse of fighting evil for the greater good that plagues the Joestar family, allowing them to pursue more personal goals in life and making them able to fight for their own happiness (which creates a more natural transition to part 7 and 8). Johnny Joestar's character isn't about fighting evil for good's sake, but is rather about fighting someone whose ideals differ from his, with his ultimate goal being to walk again; Part 8 Josuke also follows that trend as his goal is to get his memory back. They are alternate versions of characters that were fated to fight something that they shouldn't, and the fact that they have more human goals make them more relatable. None of this would be possible without part 6's universe reset, which makes its ending more satisfying despite being bitter sweet. Keep up the good work man!
Part 5's ending always really bugged me, because if Rolling Stones predicted the fate of everyone before all the Diavolo shenanigans then he isn't actually changing his own fate...it was already predestined that he'd change his fate in the way he does
The very ending of pt 7 is great, but the final arc, with the whole Valentine battle has some issues. The most concepually important one is that Valentine's power up is useless and doesn't make him more of a threat, as Johnny would need to unlock act 4 anyway, because otherwise Valentine would escape, like he did many times before. The short battle between him and Dio/Cream Starter was more interesting, because they had to fight tactically and think about how to overcome his busted stand ability. Then he becomes even stronger. Then Gyro dies and Johnny understands how to create act 4 and oneshots the guy, but, once again, he would have to unlock act 4 anyways. It would be more interesting if him and Gyro had to fight Valentine together using tactics as well, and only winning through Gyro's sacrifice.
This and the Diego fanservice battle against Johnny is completely unnecessary and ruins the emotional high from the "Break my Heart" chapters. It adds tension and distracts from an otherwise perfect finish to Valentine's demise.
@@swiggydswirl330 I found Diego's appearance at the end to be okay in concept. Valentine's battle was more of a let down for me. We kinda had the same with Diavolo, but at least he had an amazing duel with Metallica and the whole Silver Chariot chananigans were cool
With Part 5, The Rolling Stones mini arc while it has strong thematic connections to the overall fate themes, it drags on longer than it needed to be and it renders the actual ending more like a cliff note and it feels like the final fight was rushed just so this story could be realized. To be honest, it could’ve been placed much earlier, just to add more tension to the impeding deaths of characters and the final fight with Diavolo could’ve gotten a proper conclusion without feeling rushed- maybe a fan fulfillment of Requiem vs Requiem instead of the wash we got instead.
it's weird that i actually have the exact same list as yours. the only thing i'd change is i'd switch part 3's ending with part 8's ending and it'd be the same. part 3's ending is a bit to basic for my taste, it's a good ending and a good send off to the original trilogy, but i just find part 8's to be far more satisfying. the radio gaga arc is pretty messy and weirdly placed, but oddly enough i think it makes enough sense for me to not be too mad about it. part 8's ending really does do a good job of wrapping up the totally bizarre journey that part 8 is as a whole. too often do people hate on it's ending.
@@error-4269 Imo I don't think I really took it to the extreme, If I made a video just saying GER is big strong, and then the vs battles I did after in a row I have him win instead, I don't think anyone would bat an eye at that, but just because I did the opposite, there's suddenly a problem and its extreme lol. And I don't view what I've created in the GER Arc as petty, because they're very important, at least from mine and a lot of peoples perspectives

With Part 8, the Radio Gaga is much worse than the already controversial Rolling Stones. In the case of the latter, it at least attempted to tie into the thematic themes and main story in a manner that made sense. Radio Gaga feels more like one of the Rohan one shots randomly shoved it- and if you had no knowledge of Lucy Steel, Toru or Joseph Joestar, you’d be scratching your head as to why it needed to exist. Removing it or at least placing it much earlier would’ve given more potential content to the Wonder of U arc with elaborations in Go Beyond and other potential plot elements that were never given an answer. That said, Gappy’s conclusion to his character arc was well handled. Hopefully, the anime adaptation will have enough time to fix a lot of the issues of the Part.
I don't blame part 3's ending seeming like the complete ending, even though it's not, and that's because it originally was the actual ending to the series before Araki decided to continue JoJo's.
One thing I noticed about jojos is how araki formats every three parts. The first trilogy focuses on an initial villain and set up in a villain in dio,an exploration on the background powers that allowed dio to come to power(the pillar men), and how part three focuses on a return of the initial problem as dio returns. Part 4,5,6 follows this just not as neatly as part 4 follows the fixing of dios initial villainous effects such as the bow and arrow and the plot about okuyasos dad,part 5 identifies and explores what caused the initial problem this time being the requiem arrow and other arrows in Egypt and part 6 ties up lose ends with pucci being the culimination of dios aftereffects and him being beaten can be viewed as a completion of the original goal in part 4. Parts 7-9 will prolly follow a similar format but instead being concepts of calamity and goodwill or something like that. Unrelated to the original video but it helped me realize it lol😂. Probably some more themes about fate in there too
8:19 "why is it here?!" I think Araki once mentioned that he still has a lot to tell, but he just couldn't put it in JoJolion due to his redactors limiting pages, chapters (not on purpose, I guess) I could be completely wrong, check it yourself somewhere in author's notes
Part 2s ending is hype as FUCK. I lost my shit at Joseph's in-universe ass pulling, him cheating death is such a Joseph thing to do, and THEN we get a PART 3 TEASER!? It was iconic. You had to be there.
Part 6's anime ending put ff there in the clouds with the gang. Of course it's the best ending. Do i also need to explain the last episode putting roundabout at the last moment? No? Ok, good
I’m planning on commissioning an alternate part three ending where Jonathan’s soul slips out of his body and thanks/share some dialogue with his descendants
I'd honestly put the Part 8 ending at the bottom. In a sense it has some parallels with Part 5 ending (fully agree with why you thought it was mid), but by Part 8 Araki has grown so much as an author and the story up until then was so intense that expanding on the philosophical aspect of the takeawat theme in the last segment after such an epic spectacle is like finding a fly in the last spoonful of a soup. (The whole Holly not getting cured and not seeing interaction with the mother whatnot is just an insult). Part 8 is one of the few parts where I think the prologue and middle are top tier but the ending falters.
Jobber took the first thing you're not supposed to do to the extreme. now He's like talking about how GER is weaker than star platinum and King crimson💀💀💀 his GER saga is a$$ I don't even keep up with it anymore and now he uploaded two more multi- hour videos on the same thing bruh.
Ikr, I don't get why he thinks GER is weaker than king crimson when it literally destroyed it out of existence 😅 same thing for sliver chariot who lost to king crimson. He thinks normal silver chariot is stronger than GER when GER beat the stand it lost to
@@Novakage-g5n yeah because he is just a Petty hater he will spread this false message just to upset people or maybe he's so deep that he actually believes the fumes he's spraying.
Ever since that video, whenever I go to the comment section of a fight involving Giorno, I always see some dude saying, “Well actually, GER’s been debunked. It’s really not that special 🤓”
Went into this under the full assumption that you meant ending to each episode like roundabout and didn't realize you meant otherwise until you placed part 2 in last
With Part 7, it is almost perfect- it has a culmination of the main character’s growth, a battle of beliefs, a callback to the Part 3 fight that ends in a manner that doesn’t feel cheated, every loose end wrapped up and the only flaw is that it’s the beginning of a new era of Jojo.
Personally, without trying to justify my personal opinions, I would say my favorites are... 1. Steel Ball Run 2. Stone Ocean 3. Stardust Crusaders 4. Golden Wind 5. Phantom Blood 6. Diamond is Unbreakable 7. Battle Tendency 8. Jojolion
The weirdest thing about Radio Gaga is that, unlike Sleeping Slaves, it has absolutely nothing to do with the main story besides Tooru showing up at the end. I think we all would’ve preferred a longer epilogue with the Jojolion cast. Fuck it, give me Josuke and Yasuho’s wedding or some shit, at least let it be relevant.
I haven't even seen the video yet.. But my personal favorite is Stone Ocean's ending. The bittersweet ending was a masterclass.. Part 5 has to be the worst ending
I think you should watch some videos about the overall symbolism of jojolion because the story is actually deeper than you think. It involves how the tusk's gravity is the reason why wonder of u got defeated.
About the epilogues that some parts have, it's weird how you go from diavolo infinitely almost dyeing to mista being followed by a rock. I really don't like the last 10 chapters of SBR because Diego just comes "out of nowhere " and he has the world because yes, and then Johnny losses and you read that and thinks "how will Johnny survive?" "Did he die?" And then 1 panel latter he just shoots himself without using the horse to reach golden spin, I like how Diego is defeated tho, Lucy bringing diego head to the safe and killing other world Diego. And part 8 yeah it could be in the middle of the part and wouldn't chance anything
I have to disagree with the final battle of part 5 being powerup based because i believe giorno getting the power up is the end of the final battle. Its hyped up that whomever gets the arrow will gain immense power, thus we know that when giorno gets it the fight is set and done. Everything leading up to it is the final fight, the fight for the arrow aka victory.
Good video. I agree fairly well. One piece that erks me on Diamond is unbreakable is that Jotaro gets the final hit and is the final conclusion in the fight. IMO, his part is done and while he can help, him getting the final hit takes away a bit from the characters. Doesn't have to be Josuke, but should have been a part 4 character. Also, a portion that brings Stone Ocean to the top for me is that Emporio beats Pucci with Weather Report, adding a sense to the story about family. It was family that cursed the Joestar bloodline, and through the power of a family member, it is what sets them free.
The only good thing about part 8 ending is the dog appearing in the final page

With Part 1, it ties thematically to the very complex nature of Jonathan/DIO’s relationship, is a shocking twist for a first timer, and is a proper tragedy that contrasts with the usual themes of optimism of the series.
Wow, you're right. That last scene in the boat just perfectly encapsulates their relation through the whole part.

@@Gamfluent All those characters from part 4 and part 5 are literally on the other side of the world, minding their own business. SPW had no real information on what exactly was going on, Jolyne herself only learns Pucci is the mastermind when its late already and she only gets time to return Jotaro's memory disc after the Heavy Weather arc, and by that point they only had a few HOURS to deal with Pucci. No way in hell any part 4 or 5 character would be able to get there in time to be of any use.
@gamfluent2857 ummm, the shit you mentioned were already wraped up for better or worse in their own story. Your argument sucks
And may I just add, it's preposterous how many people think that the ending of part 6, with Emporio beating Pucci is "random, out of nowhere, or forced ". This is actually perfect as an ending for Pucci's character and all of Stone Ocean, fitting the theme of fate and justice perfectly.
All throughout the story, fate ensured that Pucci will attain heaven for everyone, making the people know the future of their life, to accept it and live happily. But Pucci, after sensing that he will be defeated by Emporio someday in the future, chose to stop the acceleration process right before he succeeded to go kill Emporio, thus he defied fate, the one thing helping him to win, he wants everyone to accept their fate, but rejected his own fate of death. This is the moment his hypocrisy and evil lay bare, the moment he chose to let go of fate, fate let go of him and made him drop from heaven all the way to hell,
The ending of Stone Ocean made a lot of sense, Very Much sense and is close to perfection in conveying the theme, which is to acknowledge your destiny while still not giving up hopes and fight on. It just needed more thinkings to realise how masterfully done and how much symbolism Stone Ocean had and sadly so many people didn't.
Note, though, that for the entire time of that chase sequence, Emporio is desperately trying to change fate, by trying to avoid going where Pucci already knows he'll go. At no point in time does he accept fate, but tries to play around it in the end by having Pucci change it for him.
So what exactly is "fate" then, in JBA?
Honestly, a similar event occurred elsewhere. Kira Yoshikage lost only because Hayato decided to defy fate dictated by Bites the Dust, at which he succeeded when Kira stated who he is to Josuke who himself wasn't late to the meetup, defying fate as a butterfly effect from Hayato defying fate. And Kira stating who he is isn't an attempt to change fate by Kira, but rather doing the same thing he did as dictated by fate before. Kira's fate was changed by another's hand trying to cheat fate, not his own.
But here's the thing. Why wasn't it Emporio's fate that was changed? Kira's was changed because Hayato worked to change it, but Emporio's fate wasn't changed when Pucci tried to change it. Is there a logic lineup here where there isn't a serial hypocrisy in deciding who fate favors when people try to break away from it?
Unironically as well it was his own blood and flesh weather that fate let him get the last laugh and at the end screwed over pucci
And the fact the Emporio used the stand of Pucci’s brother makes the whole thing much better.
@@TheJalfireKnightCosmic irony...
@@Crossil Kira was manipulating fate with his BTD, same as Pucci with his MIH. Both Hayato and Emporio broke free from fate due to Kira/Pucci's actions, but it was in the name of restoring the proper "fates", to everyone. Similar to how Diavolo kept avoiding his fate with KC, only for GER to finally deal his punishment.

Im so glad someone else loves pt 4’s ending as much as I do. It’s straightforward like pt 3 but still so rich and full of detail and has had so much story leading up to it’s conclusion. I love how the main cast all collectively help defeat kira. It just has such a natural build up of tension and bites The dust was the perfect power up for kira. The ending montage also felt perfectly in place and not cheap at all because of how wide the cast was and the setting of the part. While 6’s ending is my favorite, 4 and 7 are the most rounded out.
Also I love the high voltage arc in pt 7, I know some people don’t like it because they feel like it undermines funny Valentine as the main villain but that entire fight was set up by valentine in the first place and shows how dedicated he is to his ideologies, and gives closure to Johnny and Diego. It also gave us one of the most badass moments in all of jojo with Lucy Steele.
I have seriously never cried so loud at a piece of fiction until I saw Stone Ocean's ending. Even two weeks later, whenever I would randomly think about it I would start tearing up right then and there. I think the term 'masterpiece' gets thrown around a lot nowadays, but I truly and utterly believe that Stone Ocean's ending deserves the title of masterpiece.
It truly, truly, is peak fiction.
Me too! I never cried over an anime ending except for Stone Ocean , it had this lingering effect on someone who’s been there for the whole journey 🚶🏽♂️
Same, the only other anime I cried on was assassination classroom when I was like 12 lol
Part 5's final battle wasn't about Giorno (G.E.R.) vs. Diavolo, it was before that.

With Part 4, there’s nothing that can improved. Everything is resolved with no lingering plot threads or hypotheticals like the previous ones; everyone has a chance to sense so no one feels underutilized; and it ends probably the happiest out of the endings to date.
Goated part with a goated ending
RIP Aya Tsuji and Shigechi

Only thing I'd add is Josuke punching Kira in the face more before Jotaro finishes him.
Part 2 has one of my favorite endings, I loved when Joseph came to his own funeral and him chasing Suzi Q around the car.
Oh. This might sound weird, but in my opinion the final fight of part 5 was the entire chase from the colosseum to the streets which lead to GER.
GER was simply the climax and resolution of the fight over the fight itself. Why I like GER a lot.
i agree, if the part ended in that scene it would have been at least number 3
@@forcommentingpurposesonly2918how? Rolling Stones is so good
I wouldn't really call part 5's ending a "power up-based win", because that implies that the requiem was the means through which the protagonists won. Though not an entirely inaccurate way of looking at it, as both the protagonists and main antagonist were seeking the requiem, it'd probably be better to think of it as being the win condition unto itself, rather than the "win" being treated as a separate goal that the requiem provides the means to achieve.
well you could say that if that was giornos actual goal giorno wanted to be the mafia boss the only way to do that is yknow off some particular person who if he got the reqium arrow giorno could not achieve that goal so yes they are seperate the arrow is just the means of achieving the goal
@@Gamfluent ..Yes, I didn't say anything to the contrary.
@@Gamfluent Nice strawman dude.
The issue with “the chase to get the arrow was the real final battle” is that Giorno hardly did anything lol. He didn’t do anything clever to beat Diavolo’s time skip, Polnareff and Trish did that. He didn’t figure out the weakness to Chariot Requiem or make a big sacrifice to beat the villain, Bruno did that. That’s why GER feels like a “Giorno was fated to win” thing like part 2.
Yes the power of friendship & teamwork is of course a thing in shonen but like, that was the whole theme of part 4’s ending yet we still got to see Josuke fighting Kira in a top notch battle of wits & ideals. I really can’t say the same for Giorno, his true final fight was vs Cioccolata.
@@Gamfluentwhere did he say that?
I am sad how they couldn’t license to play “What A Wonderful World” at the ending of Stone Ocean’s anime adaptation though, not where “Roundabout” plays but when “Distant Dreamer” starts playing at the moment Irene speaks to Emporio. Otherwise the character acting animation in that ending itself made me start crying.
Ik this comment is really old but I feel like distant dreamer is a song that fits stone ocean more thematically than what a wonderful world
I watched your video about Tooru a while ago (the one where you said you started liking him). And I gotta say, it feels good to have someone else also like/love Tooru as a villain. I don’t know why, but it just does.
The moment he started playing (essentially) his own theme song while Yasuho is dying in the background; I knew he got me. Not cause I dislike Yasuho, I'd say she was my favorite character in part 8. But cause Tooru was just built different to do all that; on top of having Wonder of U as a stand
Part 6 is just so amazing. Jolyne and her story has stuck with me longer than any other jojo part this far!
I think Kira's death is the single best villain defeat in the entire series. I have actually counted, it works on nine different levels.
@chrismidulla7721 No, I'm not doing anything, that's genuinely the number of things I noted which makes it genius from a writing perspective. It's only coincidence that it happens to relate to the number of current parts.
Out of curiosity, what are the 9 levels?
@@nullplusone8579 1) Kira constantly managed to barely scrape by through his insane luck, but was done in by being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
2) He prided himself on going unnoticed as he phases into the background of any social setting he goes into, and was killed by an ambulance driver that didn't notice him.
3) He had to meet his first two victims (at least, to our knowledge) in death.
4) His hand being bitten off mirrored the fate that would befall his many victims.
5) Not to mention, it was specifically his trigger hand that he lost.
6) He was dragged to what was implied at the time - even though that was sorta retconned later - to be the pits of hell, denying him the peaceful life he so desperately desired by making sure he could never rest peacefully in death.
7) It was specifically _hands_ that dragged him away, the thing he obsessed over in life.
8) And, rather mockingly, they're _male_ hands - had they been female, he might have taken a very slight degree of enjoyment in the situation buried beneath all the negative emotions the situation would have caused him.
And uh.. I don't remember the ninth, sorry. Been a fat minute since I last recounted this.
@@purplehaze2358 Would you count the ambulance specifically ripping his face off count? Since he changed his identity with Cinderella, a stand that swaps your face to change identities.

FINALLY. Someone who appreciates the part 6 ending as much as me.
People calling the part bad and the ending pointless cause it makes everything not-canon just don't get the point. It's such a thematically perfect ending and it needs to be appreciated more.
A thing lots of people do know is the fact that when Emporio summon Weather Report, it does the same pose Jolyne did in a chapter cover, showing that a little bit of her soul touched the stand
Joseph surviving a volcanic eruption through being shielded by a chunk of rock, and then surviving falling from high orbit into the ocean, is roughly on the same level as Indiana Jones surviving a nuclear bomb inside a refrigerator. That's not luck - that's just an impossibility no matter what way you look at it.
My cousin Joshua survived that once.
I could easily survive that🗣

@@millenial8212Erwin really should've been the one to get injected.

With Part 6, it is truly a shocking ending that is tragic, surreally horrific, and bittersweet. It is the climax of the original continuity and in spite of some controversies, it’s the best it can be.
Personally, I think Part 6 is the most beautiful. Even with the universal reset and whatnot I love the thought that everyone who died in the previous universe still exists, albeit changed, and that no matter what all of their fates are tied together somehow.
@@Quinnternet_ExplorerNot changed, they're the same but without memories
"They're the same without the memories" That's definitionally not the same, people are the culmination of their lifetime of experiences and if you take that away, you're fundamentally not another person. Foo Fighters literally spells this out in their final scene and somehow it constantly gets missed. That entire character arc starts with her taking on the apperance of a different person entirely and developing her own unique personality, even using the stand disc to make a new FF wouldnt be the one we knew.
The Requiem Quietly Plays is easily the most misunderstood arc in the series, the perfect final battle for Golden Wind and people only dislike it because it's unconventional.
It stays true to Part 5, and a big Part 3-style final fight between Gio and Diavolo would not fit at all. Stardust Crusaders' fights were all about focusing on each character of the cast at a time, giving them development and problems to solve by themselves. As such during the DIO's World arc, each character takes turns at fighting DIO until they can come up with a way to beating him. Golden Wind on the other hand is much more about teamwork, character interaction, dealing with enemy teams and the environment they're in, and thus that's what the final battle is also about. Anything else would feel out of place. People complain that Giorno vs Diavolo was short and underwhelming, but that's because that's not what the fight was supposed to be, that was simply the result of the true fight, of characters working together to retrieve the arrow and kill Diavolo for good. Having another 10 chapters of Giorno and Diavolo going back and forth would heavily undermine Bruno's sacrifice and the team effort made to get to that point, instead giving all the glory of to Giorno, which would simply feel wrong after all the gang has been through.
Omg you get it!! Honestly at this point I’m used to people not getting the part 5 ending but the reasons you listed are exactly the reason why I love the arc so much, and why it stands out to me among the rest of the endings. GW has such deep character writing and I agree that a standard shounen battle would’ve undermined that aspect.
Finally someone got it
i just wanna say that the stone ocean ending was perfect for jolynes charecter throughout jojo puccis basiclly said it the joestars have been guided by fate to fight evil but once we get to jolyne we finally see the defiance in her choices unlike everyother joestar jolyne oesnt just let the world pass her or doesnt just accept her fate she actively defies it as best said by one of her greatest quotes one prisioner sees the wall the other sees the stars through the bars
the first prisioner is basiclly a representation of part 1-5 they dont question their fate the only just go with it through the flow they never try to outright go against it while jolyne chooses to see the stars she chooses to not just fall in line with her fate and decides to fight against it which is why when she dies you can see thoose butterflys flying free and the sun(a star) flying above her shes finally free she doesnt have to let her descendant fight evil
and in the alternate universe all of this is proven as jolyne is the only joestar who didnt have to fight a main villian yes jonathen still died joseph still fought kars jotaro fought dio but this time pucci never interferred cause he never existed josuke still fought kira and giorno still fought diavolo but jolyne didnt ever fight pucci she was free she could now just live her life as what a normal joestar would without the threat of a world dominating maniac in pursuit
Ok but shes female
SBR ending was better than stone ocean's ending. Stone ocean's ending is the 2nd best but overrated. It felt rushed and in a way almost anti climatic. (Emporio killing Pucci and the story just continues like nothing happened) (I still love it but its just way too overhyped) Don't roast me lol

With Part 3, the fight with Vanilla Ice onwards more than makes up for the roller coaster of drawn out forgettable moments and exciting moments.
It is a tense, action-packed drama where sacrifices are made, an epic and unique battle of wits occurs to stop the ultimate evil, and it resolves itself in a bittersweet manner. While there nitpicks like Jotaro’s shared time-stopping maybe having more explicit foreshadowing rather than the rather Deus ex machina manner it’s brought up, it’s overall an ending I wouldn’t change.
Big fan of the Part 3 soft-ending. It’s tragic, provides closure, and is satisfying seeing the death of Dio.
Great list bro, wouldn't change a thing, I can't really opinate about Steel Ball Run cuz I speedread that part (I really need to re-read it), Stone Ocean's ending was just perfec and I love to see people who agree. Amazing video, keep up the good work 👍
I like how everyone in the jojo community gets together when discussing about the Radio Gaga chapter.
Glad to see some love for Stone Ocean's ending here. I absolutely adore how in the original universe, the centuries-long saga of the Joestar family began with a blonde orphaned outcast who was born into a life of crime being ushered into a family where he felt unwelcome (and therefore in turn said orphan feels compelled compelled to take his internalized self-loathing and externalize it by hurting others)... only for the saga to end with that same family taking in ANOTHER blonde orphaned outcast who was born into a life of crime and doing everything conceivable within their power to protect him, cherish him, love him, and show him he is capable of breaking the cycles of generational trauma that have defined their own lives, too. Every step in the chain of sacrifice that composes the back half of Part 6, from Weather to Anasui to Ermes to Jotaro to Jolyne... all that death and destruction, calamity and self -sacrifice and dark determination, it all ends with Emporio- the Sole Survivor, standing against the master plan of the Holy Diver. For Dio, a man who grew up in a prison of generational poverty, Heaven was to know what was ordained- to know that all would be well in the end and that he would emerge triumphant from the prison of his circumstances. But for Emporio, who grew up in a literal prison and only found his first taste of what life could be like outside the stone walls and steel bars of his solitary life through the Joestars, Heaven meant freedom... freedom from cyclical pain, the freedom to fly and fall and make mistakes and live with hope for tomorrow. Even before Araki created Stands, his writing was always focused on the soul- more specifically, on how the living inherit the "fighting spirit," the resolve and intentions of those they love after death- and in pitting Fr. Pucci, the ultimate inheritor of Dio's wrath and agony (another broken boy in his own right) against Emporio, the boy who inherited the Joestar fighting spirit, Araki adds one last little wrinkle of poetic irony and thematic cohesion to the end of Part 6. Because if Emporio ultimately symbolizes everything the Joestars stood for, dating all the way back to Jonathan, and Pucci symbolizes all that Dio came to be, then that only makes Emporio beating Pucci with his brother's Stand that much sweeter. It's both tragic and triumphant all at once. There are some elements of Part 6 that aren't my favorite, but once the narrative reaches the point where our characters are forced to sacrifice themselves one by one so that the rest may live, there's nothing that beats the overwhelming atmosphere of inevitability and dread Made in Heaven creates (a feeling Yugo Kanno captured beautifully in Part 6's dark, desperate-sounding motifs).
Too long, didn't read; thanks for making this video and giving me an excuse to write a whole essay in the comments about why I think Stone Ocean slaps.
I still feel like Part 5’s ending is some high level thinking I haven’t gotten yet.
Like when I’m 90 on my deathbed I’ll be like, “I get it know! Their fate was always written by themselves…..(flatline)…..”
Part 1 is my 2nd favorite ending. Because it’s just so… tragic.

@@joe-j9h2j No, not everyone thinks it is great, for me the ending was one of the worst parts of SBR. SPOILERS, the whole valentine defeat wasnt anything great, gyro dies and johnny learns how to unlock the final ability and one shot the antagonist, the typical jojo ending in spirit, okay it wasnt bad but not great either. then araki included the unnecessary diego fan service fight. which was fun but not great ending wise.
I think the best Jojo Ending is Part 4's ending:
First, it made a background Character relevant: the Final arc starts with hayato being stuck in a ground dog day like situation with kira sloweky killing off the Main cast until hayato managed to outsmart him and save everyone.
Second, Everyone got a shine on the spotlight: Hayato saves everyone from dying, Josuke wounded kira, Okuyasu saved josuke and jotaro and koichi gave kira the final blow. Everyone feels relevant here and it's nice to see the heroes not win through a new power up but through Teamwork.
Third, Kira: Kira during the entire Arc was now more of a threat then before: First he gained a new Ability which allowed him to kill off first rohan and then the ENTIRE Cast! Seeing a villain actually managing to kill off the main cast is both interesting and horrifing. Though thankfully hayato changed that. But even then he Remained a dangerous threat as he almost killed okuyasu and Actually came that close into killing josuke. Then comes his Demise:
Instead of dying to the Heroes, kira died to an ambulance. It's a mix of Realisitic, ridiculously funny and poetic: Kira spend his entire life being unoticed and now he died because the ambulance didn't noticed him. And if this isn't better we are shown what happend to him in the afterlife: he get confronted by the first person he killed and get tracked into hell with the things he always loved the most: Hands. Seeing this Guy finally getting the justice he deserved was just Gold.
And at last the final Scene: The final scene is so good for me cuz it's shows us one last look into morioh and shows us how all The characters are now living their lives peacefully and how we can all be happy seeing the characters finally living their lives peacefully and happy in Morioh.
And that all is why i think part 4's Ending is the best ending overall in the entire series.
It's not.
@@Molten2004okay, Gyro.
I 100% agree. In a series full of bitter sweet and even downright sad endings, part 4 stands out as having the happiest conclusion. The final montage of the Morioh cast living bizarre yet peaceful lives is so uplifting with Great Days playing in the background
100% agree totally (expect from the part that radio gaga accident is a good episode to bring back lucy but yes maybe I would have put it in another part of jojolion)
I really like Part 5's Rolling Stone arc, and I love that something similar happened in Part 8 with the Radio Gaga Incident - an epilogue about important characters set before the first chapter even takes place, which reinforces the theme found throughout the part.
rolling stones being the ending actually improved it significantly for me, sleeping slaves is underappreciated
I love the Rolling Stone arc so much. It’s a bit on the nose, but I think it’s important to have been so
IMO the radio gaga incident does two things
1. Sets up for part 9 (araki said this)
2. Frames the rock people and the incidents of morioh as similar to part 2. You cite tooru as being similar to Kars and I think that's absolutely intentional and wonder of u and toorus character are a less shonen/more grounded depiction of that kind of race that serves the story more
I think stone oceans ending is perfect. Araki proceeded to make the best parts after that with part 8 being my favorite but steel ball is amazing also. I still don’t understand the people who can’t comprehend that the ending of stone ocean has absolutely nothing to do with parts 7-8…. It wasn’t reset into that world at all. I like part 7’s ending also really bittersweet
Right, who else thought this was going to be about the ending songs 💀
I will never forget the roundabout song at the end of part 6
Even despite watching the whole series at once with everything alredy out, that hit hard. I can imagine what it'd be for fans that actually followed from part 1
I completely disagree about Rolling Stone in part 5 and to a lesser extent Radio Gaga. I just love the way that arc recontextualizes the entire journey. As an epilogue, it doesn't really feel out of place because the story was over anyway, so that at least doesn't bother me. What Rolling Stone means for fate in Jojo is massive and I love that arc for how it handles it, so for that reason I'd honestly have part 5's ending be one of my top favorites.
Dang, I thought this was ranking the ending songs. You should do that I think that would spark even more arguments
With Part 2- the emotional climax was with Wamuu, the fight with Kars is very drawn out- with unfair schemes that go against the previous characterization of the character and while the revelation of Kara’s ultimate goal is cool and Kars being sent into space iconic- it’s ended too quickly before we wrap up the story in a manner that feels more like getting bullet points down to get to the more important Part 3.
That said, the anime did a good job trying to make it more of an ending.
Yeah it feels like Araki just wanted to finish it so he could throw in a teaser for part 3

8. Part 2 - Fun But Stupid, long and Unsatisfying.
7. Part 5 - Super Unsatisfying.
6. Part 8 - One of the Best Parts with The Worst Final Villain; would be Higher if Tooru wasn't so ass, there weren't so many loose ends and Radio Gaga wasn't just thrown in so unrelated.
5. Part 3 - If JoJo ended here it would be perfectly fine and satisfying.
4. Part 4 - The most complete conclusion with the least loose ends and lingering questions.
3. Part 1 - As someone who went in nearly blind, thinking that Old Joseph was an Aged Jonathon from minor spoiler exposure, this hit me perfectly.
2. Part 7 - High Voltage is perhaps my Favourite Fight in the Series and the Ending going so far beyond the Main Villains Defeat is something I wish was done more.
1. Part 6 - The Perfect Conclusion to the Main Universe as a whole and by far the most emotionally impactful.
Even after seeing stone ocean’s ending i still think about it even months later. If a piece of fiction is able to stay with you long after viewing it then it’s effective at what it set out to do.
Man! I cant wait for SBR's anime debut...
I dont mind if they extend it any further. All what matters is that it gets a good budget for its animation department.
I am also wondering if they add any filler plot to it. (I hope not)
Hope it doesn’t get the “batch” release schedule like part 6
@@justachaoticperson1906 yeqh
Great video!
I think it's also important to mention that part 6's ending is about breaking the curse of fighting evil for the greater good that plagues the Joestar family, allowing them to pursue more personal goals in life and making them able to fight for their own happiness (which creates a more natural transition to part 7 and 8).
Johnny Joestar's character isn't about fighting evil for good's sake, but is rather about fighting someone whose ideals differ from his, with his ultimate goal being to walk again; Part 8 Josuke also follows that trend as his goal is to get his memory back. They are alternate versions of characters that were fated to fight something that they shouldn't, and the fact that they have more human goals make them more relatable.
None of this would be possible without part 6's universe reset, which makes its ending more satisfying despite being bitter sweet.
Keep up the good work man!
Radio Gaga is a great bonus for part 8 and I hope it gets some sort of follow-up in part 9.
Part 6 is my fav so bitter sweet 😢😅
Part 5's ending always really bugged me, because if Rolling Stones predicted the fate of everyone before all the Diavolo shenanigans then he isn't actually changing his own fate...it was already predestined that he'd change his fate in the way he does
I’m pretty sure its stated that even the changing of fate is predestined.
@theninetailsslayer1939 yeah and I find that so dumb... it means King Crimson really didn't have power over fate at all
@@michaelmullaney6388 I mean, Diavolo never had power over fate, he more so had the power to avoid faith.
The very ending of pt 7 is great, but the final arc, with the whole Valentine battle has some issues. The most concepually important one is that Valentine's power up is useless and doesn't make him more of a threat, as Johnny would need to unlock act 4 anyway, because otherwise Valentine would escape, like he did many times before. The short battle between him and Dio/Cream Starter was more interesting, because they had to fight tactically and think about how to overcome his busted stand ability. Then he becomes even stronger. Then Gyro dies and Johnny understands how to create act 4 and oneshots the guy, but, once again, he would have to unlock act 4 anyways. It would be more interesting if him and Gyro had to fight Valentine together using tactics as well, and only winning through Gyro's sacrifice.
This and the Diego fanservice battle against Johnny is completely unnecessary and ruins the emotional high from the "Break my Heart" chapters. It adds tension and distracts from an otherwise perfect finish to Valentine's demise.
@@swiggydswirl330 I found Diego's appearance at the end to be okay in concept. Valentine's battle was more of a let down for me. We kinda had the same with Diavolo, but at least he had an amazing duel with Metallica and the whole Silver Chariot chananigans were cool
@@pinthecool1 Interesting. I'm glad we can talk about the flaws of Part 7 since it's so rarely discussed about.
@@swiggydswirl330 I share the same opinion my brother in Jojo
@@swiggydswirl330I agree with this. Diego with the world appearing outta nowhere and nearly killing Johnny felt like a slap in face to him.
With Part 5, The Rolling Stones mini arc while it has strong thematic connections to the overall fate themes, it drags on longer than it needed to be and it renders the actual ending more like a cliff note and it feels like the final fight was rushed just so this story could be realized. To be honest, it could’ve been placed much earlier, just to add more tension to the impeding deaths of characters and the final fight with Diavolo could’ve gotten a proper conclusion without feeling rushed- maybe a fan fulfillment of Requiem vs Requiem instead of the wash we got instead.
it's weird that i actually have the exact same list as yours. the only thing i'd change is i'd switch part 3's ending with part 8's ending and it'd be the same. part 3's ending is a bit to basic for my taste, it's a good ending and a good send off to the original trilogy, but i just find part 8's to be far more satisfying. the radio gaga arc is pretty messy and weirdly placed, but oddly enough i think it makes enough sense for me to not be too mad about it. part 8's ending really does do a good job of wrapping up the totally bizarre journey that part 8 is as a whole. too often do people hate on it's ending.
Every Jojo ending has me all teary eyed like that one image of that cat
0:09 - 0:18 LMAO 🤣 (It’s funny cuz it’s true!)
The man himself. it is but come on you took it to the extreme you have just become Petty about it at this point😂
@@error-4269 Imo I don't think I really took it to the extreme, If I made a video just saying GER is big strong, and then the vs battles I did after in a row I have him win instead, I don't think anyone would bat an eye at that, but just because I did the opposite, there's suddenly a problem and its extreme lol. And I don't view what I've created in the GER Arc as petty, because they're very important, at least from mine and a lot of peoples perspectives
@@JobberGodot ehhh ok I just feel like it's disingenuous and it's not good for your and the stands repetition but okay. But don't you feel like you have done enough of it like, come on I am a fan of you but this is getting pretty stale no? Oh right I remember you said something about it ending soon on your community page I am excited for what's next thank you for this a$$ response.
@@error-4269 Bro what is WRONG with you!? Getting mad and trying to dictate what I should & shouldn't do on MY YT Channel based off of your feelings, as well as insulting me out of nowhere at the end for no good reason, all over FICTION. With that behavior, I don't care if you're a fan of me or not. Chill out, it's not that serious 💀
@@JobberGodot what? what are you talking about? I'm really not mad at all like what? I think there has been a pretty BIG misunderstanding on your part I am sorry.🤨?
In a way there's only really one JoJo ending which is the stone ocean ending. The SBR universe has yet to conclude
I still haven’t recovered from the words “My name is Emporio…”
I start crying like a baby whenever I think of it
SPECIALLY WITH DUFFY’S DISTANT DREAMER IN THE BACKGROUND AAAAAAHHHH😢
Fun video that surprisingly no one has talked about!
0:19 learned that the hard way
Saaaame (Johnny and Gappy are gonna murder Giorno)
8:30 I was surprised you used one of the Silent Hill 3 soundtracks (End of Small Sanctuary). Literally my two favorite things: Jojo's and Silent Hill!
With Part 8, the Radio Gaga is much worse than the already controversial Rolling Stones. In the case of the latter, it at least attempted to tie into the thematic themes and main story in a manner that made sense.
Radio Gaga feels more like one of the Rohan one shots randomly shoved it- and if you had no knowledge of Lucy Steel, Toru or Joseph Joestar, you’d be scratching your head as to why it needed to exist. Removing it or at least placing it much earlier would’ve given more potential content to the Wonder of U arc with elaborations in Go Beyond and other potential plot elements that were never given an answer.
That said, Gappy’s conclusion to his character arc was well handled. Hopefully, the anime adaptation will have enough time to fix a lot of the issues of the Part.
I don't blame part 3's ending seeming like the complete ending, even though it's not, and that's because it originally was the actual ending to the series before Araki decided to continue JoJo's.
One thing I noticed about jojos is how araki formats every three parts. The first trilogy focuses on an initial villain and set up in a villain in dio,an exploration on the background powers that allowed dio to come to power(the pillar men), and how part three focuses on a return of the initial problem as dio returns. Part 4,5,6 follows this just not as neatly as part 4 follows the fixing of dios initial villainous effects such as the bow and arrow and the plot about okuyasos dad,part 5 identifies and explores what caused the initial problem this time being the requiem arrow and other arrows in Egypt and part 6 ties up lose ends with pucci being the culimination of dios aftereffects and him being beaten can be viewed as a completion of the original goal in part 4. Parts 7-9 will prolly follow a similar format but instead being concepts of calamity and goodwill or something like that. Unrelated to the original video but it helped me realize it lol😂. Probably some more themes about fate in there too
If anyone is wondering,the music playing during the Part 8 Radio Gaga explanation is Small Sanctuary-Silent Hill 3
Part 6 ending is easily the peak of all fiction
"🤓🤓🤓"
@@Ogoatsu Alright then, tell me why you think it’s bad
@dripbacon3680 peak of humor right here
@@SportySnake OH SHIT YOU GOT HIM THERE
@@SportySnake Nah you capping dawg, Part 6 slaps. Im with Bendy785 here
8:19 "why is it here?!"
I think Araki once mentioned that he still has a lot to tell, but he just couldn't put it in JoJolion due to his redactors limiting pages, chapters (not on purpose, I guess)
I could be completely wrong, check it yourself somewhere in author's notes
honestly i consider sleeping slaves to be the best jojo arc overall, love it
Bro is so close to 100k keep going
Part 2s ending is hype as FUCK. I lost my shit at Joseph's in-universe ass pulling, him cheating death is such a Joseph thing to do, and THEN we get a PART 3 TEASER!? It was iconic. You had to be there.
10:38 for anyone who wants to skip part 8 spoilers
Bless you
as someone who is currently watching jojo's i can confirm i loved part 2's ending, it felt like a movie
Part 6's anime ending put ff there in the clouds with the gang. Of course it's the best ending. Do i also need to explain the last episode putting roundabout at the last moment? No? Ok, good
I’m planning on commissioning an alternate part three ending where Jonathan’s soul slips out of his body and thanks/share some dialogue with his descendants
I'd honestly put the Part 8 ending at the bottom. In a sense it has some parallels with Part 5 ending (fully agree with why you thought it was mid), but by Part 8 Araki has grown so much as an author and the story up until then was so intense that expanding on the philosophical aspect of the takeawat theme in the last segment after such an epic spectacle is like finding a fly in the last spoonful of a soup. (The whole Holly not getting cured and not seeing interaction with the mother whatnot is just an insult).
Part 8 is one of the few parts where I think the prologue and middle are top tier but the ending falters.
Jobber took the first thing you're not supposed to do to the extreme. now He's like talking about how GER is weaker than star platinum and King crimson💀💀💀 his GER saga is a$$ I don't even keep up with it anymore and now he uploaded two more multi- hour videos on the same thing bruh.
Jobber is the ultimate GER hater lmao that’s his stand ability
@@Passione_Offical_Channelhehe is his stand ability just to hate?
Ikr, I don't get why he thinks GER is weaker than king crimson when it literally destroyed it out of existence 😅 same thing for sliver chariot who lost to king crimson. He thinks normal silver chariot is stronger than GER when GER beat the stand it lost to
@@Novakage-g5n yeah because he is just a Petty hater he will spread this false message just to upset people or maybe he's so deep that he actually believes the fumes he's spraying.
Ever since that video, whenever I go to the comment section of a fight involving Giorno, I always see some dude saying, “Well actually, GER’s been debunked. It’s really not that special 🤓”
Part 8 ending being above Part 5 and 1 is crazy. wtf lmao. Josuke just leaves the part with a goal unfulfilled, abrupt garbage.
Plus the final battle is boo boo
Damn, showing how smooth brained you are with that Part 5 ending opinion.
Part 2s finale is why i became a fan personally since its just so absurdly hype XD
Went into this under the full assumption that you meant ending to each episode like roundabout and didn't realize you meant otherwise until you placed part 2 in last
why doesnt metas get more views like bro these videos actually slap
Me seeing part 1 at number 6: YOU HAVE GENUINELY ANGERED ME
Honestly, I 100% agree with your ranking. Pretty much everything you said, I agreed with.
8:15 I feel like araki will bring all the stone people and toru backstory to Jojo land
With Part 7, it is almost perfect- it has a culmination of the main character’s growth, a battle of beliefs, a callback to the Part 3 fight that ends in a manner that doesn’t feel cheated, every loose end wrapped up and the only flaw is that it’s the beginning of a new era of Jojo.
Stone ocean actually brought tears to my eyes
now you gotta do ranking jojo introductions, possibly including part 9
Imagine if in the end of part 6 they show us a little scene how Jolyne and Anasui come to Jotaro’s house and found Jotaro and his wife there.
Irene and Anakiss, you mean?
@@ChiefMedicPururu yeah
@@ChiefMedicPururuWell it's ok considering Araki still refers to Irene as Jolyne, they're the same
10/10 list, couldnt agree more
Personally, without trying to justify my personal opinions, I would say my favorites are...
1. Steel Ball Run
2. Stone Ocean
3. Stardust Crusaders
4. Golden Wind
5. Phantom Blood
6. Diamond is Unbreakable
7. Battle Tendency
8. Jojolion
The weirdest thing about Radio Gaga is that, unlike Sleeping Slaves, it has absolutely nothing to do with the main story besides Tooru showing up at the end.
I think we all would’ve preferred a longer epilogue with the Jojolion cast. Fuck it, give me Josuke and Yasuho’s wedding or some shit, at least let it be relevant.
kira at the end of part 4 sayiing WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK still makes me laugh to this day ngl
The whole intro I thought he meant anime EDs
I thought this was going to be ranking the EDs of the animated parts, and was wondering how you would have gotten almost 20 minutes out of that.
When I finished reading 6 and 7 I was saying "Is it really over?"
I haven't even seen the video yet..
But my personal favorite is Stone Ocean's ending. The bittersweet ending was a masterclass..
Part 5 has to be the worst ending
I think you should watch some videos about the overall symbolism of jojolion because the story is actually deeper than you think. It involves how the tusk's gravity is the reason why wonder of u got defeated.
I thought this was ending songs in the anime XD
About the epilogues that some parts have, it's weird how you go from diavolo infinitely almost dyeing to mista being followed by a rock.
I really don't like the last 10 chapters of SBR because Diego just comes "out of nowhere " and he has the world because yes, and then Johnny losses and you read that and thinks "how will Johnny survive?" "Did he die?" And then 1 panel latter he just shoots himself without using the horse to reach golden spin, I like how Diego is defeated tho, Lucy bringing diego head to the safe and killing other world Diego.
And part 8 yeah it could be in the middle of the part and wouldn't chance anything
I have to disagree with the final battle of part 5 being powerup based because i believe giorno getting the power up is the end of the final battle. Its hyped up that whomever gets the arrow will gain immense power, thus we know that when giorno gets it the fight is set and done. Everything leading up to it is the final fight, the fight for the arrow aka victory.
If Radio Gaga happened earlier in the story, Toru as the final villain would've been even better
Good video. I agree fairly well. One piece that erks me on Diamond is unbreakable is that Jotaro gets the final hit and is the final conclusion in the fight. IMO, his part is done and while he can help, him getting the final hit takes away a bit from the characters. Doesn't have to be Josuke, but should have been a part 4 character. Also, a portion that brings Stone Ocean to the top for me is that Emporio beats Pucci with Weather Report, adding a sense to the story about family. It was family that cursed the Joestar bloodline, and through the power of a family member, it is what sets them free.
