Stroheim’s Counterattack

Jojo sure knows how to smooth talk Suzy Q. Alls you need to do is ask for compliments, and then tell her you’ll kiss her all over the place with your burnt, sexy lips. Score for Jojo as she runs away after saying he’s cute. Seriously, how can you resist this face?

JoJo vs. The Ultimate Life-Form

Jojo has some huge balls for even attempting to tease Santana. He has no idea at the powers Santana posses, or what he can do. He might just seem like some caveman, but the pillar men have more knowledge than a mere person would have. They’ve been living longer than two thousand years.

Part 2: Battle Tendency

New York JoJo!

Holy crap. Jojo’s grandson, Jojo is my new favourite character. Man. Jojo is a loonytoon and can’t control himself once he gets in a fight. Here we are, in America. The home of the brave. The place where cops are pigs. and I must say wow. I was so happy they made that fat cop look like a pig because that’s basically how cops here are. Especially in the 1930s and what not there was a ton of racism. A cop would find any reason to beat an African American up. They still do, really. I must say they handled it nicely.

So, Jojo is just this really spunky kid. He does as he pleases since he’s a tough guy and he knows about his powers, but not to it’s full extent. He’s very rash and doesn’t think often when he does something. Like, fighting with the pigs, beating on the taxi driver, and pulling a tommy gun on Straits. Now if you haven’t read the manga, which I’ll just assume everyone hasn’t (I’m currently catching up on it all) Straits is our villain, so there’s no more Dio for now. I’m curious as to how Straits will take care of Jojo but once I catch up with the manga I’ll probably have a better idea of everything going on. I’ve heard the anime is nothing like the manga.

Game Master

So. Me and my brother watched this together. This is the second episode he’s seen of Jojo, so I had to tell him what was goin’ on. It’s always 10x better when you watch it with someone! We were both cracking up at the slightest things. Such as Straits, with his little scarf, that ended up getting destroyed by grenades. I have no clue where Jojo got these grenades, but dayum. It must be because he’s rich, or because he’s got friends in places. Or, there’s always that chance of “Because he’s Jojo.” I don’t know who has the time to get 30,000 Southeast Asian Sadhiporaja beetles and make a scarf. But wow, why. Looks nice but I think it’s just a waste.

And my favourite quote so far in Battle Tendency would have to be “We use our legs, and we book it, Smokey!” I think I died. I wasn’t expecting that at all. As they run away, a news reporter comes and takes pictures of the incident. Straits sees this as an opportunity to take a hostage and he finds Jojo on either the George Washington Bridge or Brooklyn Bridge. Where he threatens to break her jaw/take out her teeth. And, of course. Jojo being Jojo, he’s so calm and collective and just says “Eh, she’s not my girlfriend or anything so why should I care about some hag?” After that, straits just bugs and annoys him to where he eventually fights with Straits. He uses that laser beam that Dio uses and Jojo just reflects it with a shot glass. Which ended up reflecting and hitting Straits in the forehead. He only wanted to know one thing before Straits dies, and that was why he threw Speedwagons body in the river. He got what he wanted, and information he won’t understand till he meets this bizarre “Pillar Man”. Jojo’s a real smooth talker with that hag too.

And then we meet Nazis.

The Man in the Pillar

So, back to the Nazis, Jojo decides to take a trip to Mexico to pay a visit to “The Pillar Man” that the Nazi’s are trying to revive for “The perfect army” I’ll guess. on his way there he fights some dude that we don’t really need to care about. Because, we all are pretty much concerned about Josephine, right? Such a beautiful woman. She even brought us tequila. Those Nazi guards were absolutely horrified. Poor Jojo doesn’t deserve that if he wants to be beautiful! But man oh man, those Nazi’s are some huge pigs. I don’t even want to bring up what they did. Jojo just ends up beating them up and taking their clothes. I don’t get why he had to undress both of them for one outfit.

Speedwagon is conscious, and about to meet “The Pillar Man”, with the Nazi general. They named him Santana and the General thinks it’s absolutely hilarious that this guy just woke up from a 2,000 year slumber and slips, scratches his head and acts like a caveman. Soon enough they learn something, that he can evolve pretty fast. It’s not so funny when he devours an enemy and breaks all of his bones to get into air vents, now is it? Santana ended up taking a soldiers body, and turning it into some huge, fat, blob thing. Then he devoured their bullets and imitated a gun, to shoot those bullets at the people. Guessing Jojo’s disguise worked, he ended up getting there in time to save Speedwagon.

Boyfriend

Oh man, this episode was just full of silliness. I didn’t really take it seriously. It was good, nonetheless. When I say silly, I mean the entire scenario with the boyfriend scene. So Mahiro and Yoshino kinda have a talk with Samon, and Mahiro starts to agree with him and then eventually ditches Hakaze. He can just drop someone like that? How rude. I know I can’t just toss someone aside. That’s just how Mahiro is. He wants people that’ll get him what he wants, and if you’re no help. Well, you’re outta here.

While their arguments are going on, spear guy is out fighting the army, and turning their equipment into magic. Isn’t that army branch, the branch that knows a lot about magic? It really seems like they’ve underestimated the power of magic. These guys should have studied it more or something, because they’re just complete morons to go up against a mage.

Let’s go back to the three loons now. Yoshino ends up talking to Hakaze, and he remembers something Aika said. Something about Hamlet. Or Shakespeare in general. Where he wrote a story about a mage on an island, and everyone was saved. So, Yoshino thinks he can save everyone without anyone getting hurt. Which I’m interested in how he’s gonna do that. To get Mahiro back onto Hakazes side, he tells him “I’ll tell you who Aikas boyfriend was if we can get Hakaze back here, while you still get your revenge.” Samons face is just pretty priceless, I’ll say that. Once boyfriend is mentioned, everyone just freaks out. Not literally, but just that one word, everything is changed.

How to Make a Time Machine

This episode was pretty…ehh. It was basically a contest at who can get Mahiro to side with them. Samon doesn’t want the talisman activated since there is a way to bring back Hakaze, but he doesn’t want her to come back. Yoshino somewhat knows that there’s a way to bring her back, and he just messes with Samons head to get him to panic so he knows that there’s something up.  There was some action, but this week was just pretty bland. It was just a bunch of bantering to get their ways. Samons faces are pretty priceless though. He wants his way so he doesn’t have to bring Hakaze back. And he wants them to think she’s in a time prison, which she really isn’t.

Final Ripple

Let’s talk about Jojo for a minute. I never even heard of it, never knew about it, I wasn’t even going to watch it when the season started. Doofus mentioned it, since we were talking about how many animals were killed in the new animus this season. I kinda just watched it to see if the dog actually died. But man, I was hooked on that first episode. Jojo has hilarious comedy and’s just fantastic. I’m planning on reading the manga soon since you just get absorbed in it.

Last week we left off at Jojo defeating Dio. So, since everything calmed down they got married, and set off for America. Guess what? Dio. That’s what. I love Dio, he’s my favourite character out of everyone. Speedwagon is probably my second. He just can’t do anything and how dramatic he is. So, Dio is on the ship, inside of a coffin. Jojo only notices that Dio may be there since Dio’s little gremlin friend is found sneaking around. He tells Erina to go into her room and lock the door. Seriously Jojo? What’s that going to do against a horde of zombie/vampires? They’re like super humans. When Jojo find Dio, he’s just a head. I’m just watching this and giggling like a little kid. I mean, seriously. Dio is suppose to be a vampire. I’ve never seen a vampire shoot lasers out of their eyes. Jojo’s practically dead on the ground. For like, 10 minutes. Dude, you were shot in vital spots, you can’t breath. Why are you still alive? I’m sorry but I love when Jojo get’s tortured and beat up by Dio. During that entire time, he does so much. And doesn’t die. I’m just like “Dude, die already”. I hope I’m not the only one.

The ending was definitely sweet though. No, not with the baby. With Jojo hugging Dio. Daww, brotherly love~

The Hour to Suppress The Princest

When did Mahiro learn that the army would help them destroy the barrier? I don’t think he’d approve of that, much. We start off with the entire japanese army getting ready to start using missiles and weapons on the magical barrier. As the army weakens, and distracts the mages, Mahiro and Yoshino take the initiative to break into the barrier. We learn soon that the weapons are putting a dent in it, but not as fast as the army would like. Arrow guy starts to get a little nervous that the barriers weakened, but he has everyone keep working to get the fruit to revive.

As the two boys break through the barrier, they get stopped by a very confident Samon. He thinks that they can’t do anything, and believes Hazake has passed on. Since Hazake isn’t there, Samon needs to bring her back to Japan, or Mahiro will shoot him.  Mahiro doesn’t care what happens to the world, so he doesn’t care if he has to shoot him, or doesn’t As long as he gets his revenge and the world is created anew. Samon is very content with saying Hakaze has passed on, and he has her skeleton and barrel to prove it. Now, this is the confusing part. Hakaze seems to have actually passed on in their current time. As we’re told she’s two years in the past. I’m not sure how that’s possible, but apparently it is. I’m not even going to say anything about this. I’ll just sound stupid till we know what’s actually going on.
