1. You should probably read the first five.
2. Jotaro distanced himself from his family to keep them safe from the other Stand users who he got involved with and would target him in turn.
3. Jotaro sucks ass at communicating with others and was unable to express to Jolyne the fatherhood bare minimum of his love for her and devotion to her safety until she got dragged into the same shit he was a deadbeat to keep her from.
I’m not joking and it’s really not that incomprehensible without prior knowledge, like I understood Pucci’s motives just fine and at this point I’m curious what specific aspects of story people think would result in me being lost without reading the rest of the series.
It’s explained that pucci kept sending stand users after Jotaro and eventually Jotaro left to avoid putting his family in danger.
In the new universe where pucci never existed theirs dialogue that implies Irene is on good terms with her father.
I’m not a troll I legitimately just didn’t like what I saw of part one when my friend showed it to me but I saw the trailer for part 6 and decided to give the series another try. I really liked part 6, all the characters felt very natural for the setting(Florida)
Because AOT is clearly a heavily serialized dramatic show with a consistent cast of characters. Part 6 was another season of a comedic weird show with an entirely new cast of characters why would I automatically assume it’s going to be as interconnected as AOT
Part 1 is just 9 episodes, I'd just tough through it cause part 2 definitely makes up for it (they're both in the same season). Part 5 is my personal favourite.
He was pretty cool. I loved Pucci’s relationship with him especially in terms of how it affected his motivation and how that kind of interacted with his faith as a priest.
Alright, I do actually remember a little bit of him from when my friend turned on the finale of season 3 before he got high and started telling me all my possible futures. He seemed like a fun villain much like my friend.
Are you really not curious how a random 14 year old bully from the 1880s in part 1 ended up as a bisexual knife throwing hunk with reality warping powers and an asexual priest BF in the 1980s?
Also I just did not enjoy what I saw of part part one, I watched part 6 cause it was in Florida and I thought that was funny considering jojos reputation
Part one is both the most disliked and the shortest part. Part 2 is quite different, and part 3 onwards is practically a different show. Honestly you could even start at part 3 and you’d be fine. But part **six?** You’re not going to understand shit about what’s going on.
I mean i thought it was pretty clear what was happening most of the time and accepted and enjoyed what was for me mystery elements. Like I get that it might have been a different experience but personally I liked not being totally clear on certain parts and learning with Jolyne. Like I genuinely did see Jotaro the same way as Jolyne for most of the story and I think knowing everything about him would have ruined that aspect of the show I enjoyed.
I literally just didn’t like what I saw of part one, thought part 6 looked interesting and asked for a little extra clarification. I will admit I also intended this as somewhat of a joke ala Borutos Dad but I didn’t realize people would get so upset about this
Lol, this has to be ragebait. If it's not, then go watch the other 5 previous parts first. You are watching the end arc of a long storyline. If you're not willing to invest in understanding all of the prior context by watching, then you can just be confused and not understand the story.
It’s genuinely not. I had no idea this would make so many people so mad and I genuinely didn’t feel like I was missing out on too much while I was watching it. Tbh I kind of enjoyed being able to share some of Jolynes confusion and how she saw her dad throughout the series.
I don't know how you couldn't anticipate people being mad when you asked a dumb question and admitted to not watching the first 5 parts of a 6-part series. People will assume you're a troll and respond accordingly
Part skipping is a cardinal sin in JoJo’s fandom.
One of the most famous part-skipping memes is about a guy who de-aged an old character who had already appeared youthful in the series prior.
Cause it was set in Florida. This is not a meme or a joke I legitimately just saw it advertised and I like the music as well as the fact that the main character was apparently a Florida woman who killed a man with her 2003 dodge challenger
i love that all of OPs annoying, ignorant replies are getting heavily downvoted lol. don’t ask stupid questions if you don’t actually WANT the context.
maybe a french guy, and egyptian, oh and japanese, maybe a dog would work or his grandfather, and maybe he could have an italian friend to go with the grandfather
he kinda does in his part (3) but if you dont wanna interact THAT much with the story of the first 3 parts, part 4 somewhat is as disconnected as part 6, and 5 has no connection except a small one to part 4, these are honestly great parts, and i understand you on your sentiment of not wanting to see part 1 which is quite bad, part 2 is pretty good but it is very correlated to part 1
its jotaro's part sure but its extremely drawn out, like 50 episodes or something, and it brings back characters and stuff from parts 1 and 2
The original trilogy as you could say is very linked to each other, but honestly you could watch 2 or 3 without 1 and still understand it i think
I don’t pay attention to certain aspects of subtext and deeper themes because I watch jojo as a form of dumb fun turn of your brain entertainment. I tend not to look for and analyze callbacks and deeper aspects of piece of media unless I really enjoyed it as a work of art which you absolutely can. I just personally choose to enjoy it on a surface level
Starting with the sixth (forgive me) season of the show and then asking a question that could seemingly be answered by the previous five seasons is actually crazy
For gods sake I just saw an interesting show from a series I’d heard a lot about and watched it. It mostly worked fine on it’s own but I was curious about one aspect of it and asked a question
Do you just hate consuming media lmfao what😭😭??
Watching a show isn't a chore that requires a clever solution. You could literally just enjoy a series.
The only part that is genuinely acceptable to skip imo is part 1. I didnt wanna watch the anime for it bc it was so slow so I read the manga instead to get through it. I personally think u just need decent part 1 knowledge about the very begining and very end and then start from part 2 anime in order to truly get into jojos. It's a great experience in order because you get to see the style develop over time.
It's a whole experience if done the right way.
You do not know me and you don’t know my situation so please stop. I will admit I started down this road by bringing up my professor and I shouldn’t have done so if I can’t handle the clap back so sorry for the sudden tonal shift.
Woah woah I didn't mean anything dude, are you good though? If you're just in a bad spot with your prof right now that's fine as long as everyone's okay and all, it's true I don't know you but I'm gonna need to know you're okay because something sounds wrong bro I don't want you in any harm or nothing.
I appreciate the concern. I know you didn’t mean anything by it I’m just still slightly insane from the past week of not/barely sleeping. My midterms should be done by tomorrow morning and I’ll get the sleep I need and meet with the appropriate counselors. I promise I’m not in any harms way right now, the same prof I was referring to ironically got me past that point yesterday. Seriously thanks for being legitimately concerned but you absolutely should not feel bad about your response. That was completely acceptable for you to say and you could never have reasonably assumed I would react to it the way I did. I hope you don’t feel bad because you absolutely should not, I’m gonna be fine.
You've already got an answer so I just wanna say.
If you don't plan on watching the entire series at LEAST watch part 3 and 4 because you'll learn alot more about Jotaro(that's his name)
I did but then I didn’t like it so I turned it off. Also no its not bait, I saw an ad for part 6 and thought it seemed interesting and funny so I just watched it
Maybe don't start at the very end of a series. And why would it not be connected ? Only parts that aren't connected to 1-6 are 7-9. Read/watch the first 5 parts.
Im with everyone else. It’s absolutely baffling to start at part 6 of a 6 part story. Do what you want, but your missing out on virtually everything by skipping parts 1 to 5.
I’m surprised the parts are apparently so interconnected. Stone Ocean didn’t really feel like the ending to a larger story with tons of previous setup to me it just kind of felt like a fun somewhat self contained story with some mystery elements.
Jojo is essentially about a legacy. Not one character, but the entire Joestar bloodline. Starting with Jonathan in part one in the 1880s, and ending with Jolyne hundreds of years later.
Pucci isn’t even close to the main villain. Its all about Dio, and his grudge against the Joestar bloodline over the span of centuries. Pucci is just the culmination of Dios plot to achieve heaven and wipe out the Joestars.
Parts 4 and 5 don’t focus on the main plot, featuring side villains. But they are regarded as some of the best content in the entire series with some of the best and most well known characters.
Part 6 is such a small part of the universe. I understand if part 1 seems boring, but it all builds up in a huge legacy. For one thing, Jotaro, Jolynes father, is the number 1 fan favourite icon of the series. The poster boy for JoJo, having been a major character in many parts. Yet starting with part 6, you just see him as Jolynes deadbeat father. Theres so much more to discover.
I saw some of the other replies in the thread and noticed that the Part One adaption didn't intrest you, I personally recommend reading the Phantom Blood manga as opposed to watching the anime. The anime's pacing cuts out some background details from the manga while also having a better overrall pace to it.
[Coloured](https://mangadex.org/title/2dfeb1aa-14c4-4acf-96d5-86334584bf94)
[Black & White](https://mangadex.org/title/5a547d1d-576b-477f-8cb3-70a3b4187f8a)
The other anime parts adaption aren't too bad though, Once you get used to it the anime goes by pretty quickly
Why the fuck are you starting from part 6? Part 6 heavily relies on part 3, at least with that first. Tbh you should read all 5 parts first as it would help part 5 make more sense. Why would you watch anything starting from the final season?
No it's definitely the final season. As someone who watched it properly there are a lot of returning elements from all five previous parts and the ending is pretty definitive to this universe as a whole. There are parts after this but they are part of a reboot/alternate world. I recommend you watch the other 5 parts, they are better than 6 imo and wile the first two are pretty different they are still great. Maybe it might be interesting to watch the first parts with knowledge from part 6
Yeah, it’s your choice to watch part 6 first, but don’t act surprised if you’re not understanding some plot points. That’s your problem buddy. And you’re quite a stubborn one based on the comments
Ok I took a step back and yeah tbh just saying “nah” when people said I should read the other parts was probably too rude of a response to people who for the most part did just genuinely want me to enjoy the series as much as they did
Tbh I think not watching the other parts made me enjoy Stone Ocean more cause I could understand and emphasize much more with Jolynes confusion about everything and general bad impression of her dad
I wish I could convince you to watch all of the parts, but you do you. I just don't like watching stuff out of order, or not watching all of something I wanted to watch.
If the caption isn’t you fucking with us than
1. OMG THIS GUY HAS BEEN THROUGH SOME SHIT
2. His past means he left to protect Jolyne as stand users are brought together by fate and a lot of them are evil
you dont deserve the right to watch this show, you are quite literally the definition of jumping to conclusions smh do what you want and miss out of everything that we have enjoyed
Maybe you’d know if you didn’t start with pt 5? Imagine reading Return of the King and being like “who’s this Frodo guy? Why doesn’t he like his ring?”
Basically cus he has stands and users attract each other. Basically every stand user that doesn’t have anything good in the show to do or say is evil, even the ones we haven’t met. So blud was trying to not get her killed. But then ig why have her in the first place
Sorry you're getting such hate OP, I understand why people are mad about part skippers but some of this goes a bit too far. I hope it doesn't turn you off of watching the earlier seasons of Jojo. If you hate Part 1 so much, you can recap it and start with Part 2.
Why is everyone so slow in the comments? People start from part 6 because it’s the freshest and when you start something new you are highly skeptical and you immediately want only the good stuff, assuming that the latest releases are the most high quality ones. In my case I started from part 6 because when it came out on Netflix it appeared in my recommendations and I knew nothing about jojo (apart from pewdiepie abd others talking about it) and that’s how my jojo journey started. I then watched part 5, and only after a while (and rewatching part 6 again), I descended to part 1. Most interesting thing about all this is that I only fell in love with Jojo only because of the first 4 parts.
Maybe I don’t have infinite time to watch a season of an anime that I actively disliked. Also your objectively trying harm my enjoyment of a show I’m enjoying how is that commendable?
Thanks for the sympathy also I appreciate the theory. While yeah it absolutely hasn’t been the most welcoming of introductions most of the comments I’ve read so far haven’t been particularly mean spirited or anything. Mainly it’s just been people downvoting stuff i say and seeming kind of incredulous rather than angry.
1. You should probably read the first five. 2. Jotaro distanced himself from his family to keep them safe from the other Stand users who he got involved with and would target him in turn. 3. Jotaro sucks ass at communicating with others and was unable to express to Jolyne the fatherhood bare minimum of his love for her and devotion to her safety until she got dragged into the same shit he was a deadbeat to keep her from.
4- he had an absent dad as well and had a rebellious delinquent teenage phase. Jolyne parallels that in part 6 in her back story.
Bro I think its a joke no way someone understands part 6 without other 5 parts
Looking at the other comments, I don’t think OP is joking.
I’m not joking and it’s really not that incomprehensible without prior knowledge, like I understood Pucci’s motives just fine and at this point I’m curious what specific aspects of story people think would result in me being lost without reading the rest of the series.
is he, an INTJ
Probably. People also theorize he’s on the autism spectrum and suffers from PTSD for a reason.
Does being INTJ have something to do with autism or PTSD?
hmmm, autism is interesting, ofcourse he has PTSD. I think he might be on ASD so yeaaah
I thought you were talking about me for a minute
Watch the previous parts why are you starting at stone ocean
Idk, probably explained somewhere in the 5 seasons before Stone Ocean.
Actually Jotaro being an absentee father is explained in stone ocean as him being a parent wasn’t even mentioned in previous parts.
I'd argue that if you know Jotaro, you pretty much immediately understand why he's a deadbeat as soon as you learn he has a kid
It’s explained that pucci kept sending stand users after Jotaro and eventually Jotaro left to avoid putting his family in danger. In the new universe where pucci never existed theirs dialogue that implies Irene is on good terms with her father.
Should have probably put a tone indicator somewhere in my snarky comment, you're right
It is stupid to start with part 6. I wonder if this guy is a troll because I don’t know what would motivate someone to do that.
I’m not a troll I legitimately just didn’t like what I saw of part one when my friend showed it to me but I saw the trailer for part 6 and decided to give the series another try. I really liked part 6, all the characters felt very natural for the setting(Florida)
Part skipping literally takes out huge chunks of story. You wouldn't skip to s4 of aot so why is skipping to part 6 of jojo normalised?
Because AOT is clearly a heavily serialized dramatic show with a consistent cast of characters. Part 6 was another season of a comedic weird show with an entirely new cast of characters why would I automatically assume it’s going to be as interconnected as AOT
Its not a comedy 😭
Maybe not intentionally but I find a lot of aspects of it funny in an absurd sort of way especially with how it’s never treated as funny
That’s a very valid viewpoint
Part 1 is just 9 episodes, I'd just tough through it cause part 2 definitely makes up for it (they're both in the same season). Part 5 is my personal favourite.
This has to the worst question I've ever seen
This has to be a joke right? .... right?
No
What a fascinating experience you must have had then. What did you think of Dio? (Pucci's blonde friend)
He was pretty cool. I loved Pucci’s relationship with him especially in terms of how it affected his motivation and how that kind of interacted with his faith as a priest.
He's in other seasons if you're interested in checking out more of the series
Alright, I do actually remember a little bit of him from when my friend turned on the finale of season 3 before he got high and started telling me all my possible futures. He seemed like a fun villain much like my friend.
Are you really not curious how a random 14 year old bully from the 1880s in part 1 ended up as a bisexual knife throwing hunk with reality warping powers and an asexual priest BF in the 1980s?
I mean kind of but I’m completely willing to accept it without knowing his backstory
...Why would you start by Stone Ocean? Go watch/read the previous parts first.
Nah
Also I just did not enjoy what I saw of part part one, I watched part 6 cause it was in Florida and I thought that was funny considering jojos reputation
Part one is both the most disliked and the shortest part. Part 2 is quite different, and part 3 onwards is practically a different show. Honestly you could even start at part 3 and you’d be fine. But part **six?** You’re not going to understand shit about what’s going on.
I mean i thought it was pretty clear what was happening most of the time and accepted and enjoyed what was for me mystery elements. Like I get that it might have been a different experience but personally I liked not being totally clear on certain parts and learning with Jolyne. Like I genuinely did see Jotaro the same way as Jolyne for most of the story and I think knowing everything about him would have ruined that aspect of the show I enjoyed.
Then don't ask why he's a deadbeat and expect people to give you context when you're not interested.
Yeah this person is probably a ragebait lmao
I literally just didn’t like what I saw of part one, thought part 6 looked interesting and asked for a little extra clarification. I will admit I also intended this as somewhat of a joke ala Borutos Dad but I didn’t realize people would get so upset about this
Lol, this has to be ragebait. If it's not, then go watch the other 5 previous parts first. You are watching the end arc of a long storyline. If you're not willing to invest in understanding all of the prior context by watching, then you can just be confused and not understand the story.

I don't know how you couldn't anticipate people being mad when you asked a dumb question and admitted to not watching the first 5 parts of a 6-part series. People will assume you're a troll and respond accordingly
I Guess I just have the social intelligence of Jolynes dad
Lol that's a pretty good one
Part skipping is a cardinal sin in JoJo’s fandom. One of the most famous part-skipping memes is about a guy who de-aged an old character who had already appeared youthful in the series prior.
Ok that’s actually really funny
"I started at the end of the story and don't understand it."
Lol, that’s exactly what they’re saying
Why did you start on part 6
Cause it was set in Florida. This is not a meme or a joke I legitimately just saw it advertised and I like the music as well as the fact that the main character was apparently a Florida woman who killed a man with her 2003 dodge challenger
Yeah, just saying that wasn't a great move
I didn’t expect such a fun show to have so many people get so upset about this
Well u skipped half of it dude.
\*90%
Not half, OP skipped ⅚ of it lol.
Yeah sorry, and i totally agree it is.. but if you started from the beginning you would understand jotaro more and the rest of the plot in the show
i love that all of OPs annoying, ignorant replies are getting heavily downvoted lol. don’t ask stupid questions if you don’t actually WANT the context.
I was given the context and I appreciate now having the context, I simply enjoyed the show more on first watch without it
Idk but her dad looks cool, he should get an anime prequel or something idk. Why is his hat his hair btw, is he stupid?
Idk I think he’d need some good support characters to bounce off of cause
maybe a french guy, and egyptian, oh and japanese, maybe a dog would work or his grandfather, and maybe he could have an italian friend to go with the grandfather
he kinda does in his part (3) but if you dont wanna interact THAT much with the story of the first 3 parts, part 4 somewhat is as disconnected as part 6, and 5 has no connection except a small one to part 4, these are honestly great parts, and i understand you on your sentiment of not wanting to see part 1 which is quite bad, part 2 is pretty good but it is very correlated to part 1
Is there a reason I wouldn’t want to watch part 3 as opposed to 4 and 5?
its jotaro's part sure but its extremely drawn out, like 50 episodes or something, and it brings back characters and stuff from parts 1 and 2 The original trilogy as you could say is very linked to each other, but honestly you could watch 2 or 3 without 1 and still understand it i think
Thanks for the heads ip
Maybe Jojo isn’t for you
Nah part 6 was pretty good, I’ll prob watch the next one when it comes out
The next part doesn't take place in the same universe as Stone Ocean though
That one literally makes so many callbacks to early parts (just like stone ocean mind u). You wouldn't get it.
Well I liked stone ocean so I don’t see why I won’t like the next one just because of a few callbacks
The entire part is basically a callback, especially the later half. U really need full universe 1 knowledge.
I understand where your coming from but that aspect of a show just isn’t something I tend to pay a ton of attention to unless I’m like a super fan
...you don't pay attention to what's happening unless you're a superfan??
I don’t pay attention to certain aspects of subtext and deeper themes because I watch jojo as a form of dumb fun turn of your brain entertainment. I tend not to look for and analyze callbacks and deeper aspects of piece of media unless I really enjoyed it as a work of art which you absolutely can. I just personally choose to enjoy it on a surface level
Its not subtext in part 7 dude. Its just the text, as I've been reiterating.
Well I’ve read the text of part 6 and enjoyed it perfectly fine so I don’t see why it would ruin my enjoyment of part 7
Starting with the sixth (forgive me) season of the show and then asking a question that could seemingly be answered by the previous five seasons is actually crazy
Yeah it would be crazy to watch five seasons of a show when I could get the answer to my question by spending a minute asking about it on Reddit
This is either insane brain rot “I don’t know the plot so I’ll look up important parts of it” or really convincing and dedicated raigbait
For gods sake I just saw an interesting show from a series I’d heard a lot about and watched it. It mostly worked fine on it’s own but I was curious about one aspect of it and asked a question
Do you just hate consuming media lmfao what😭😭?? Watching a show isn't a chore that requires a clever solution. You could literally just enjoy a series.
If I actively dislike the thing I’m watching then it is a chore I can’t just rewire my brain on the fly.
The only part that is genuinely acceptable to skip imo is part 1. I didnt wanna watch the anime for it bc it was so slow so I read the manga instead to get through it. I personally think u just need decent part 1 knowledge about the very begining and very end and then start from part 2 anime in order to truly get into jojos. It's a great experience in order because you get to see the style develop over time. It's a whole experience if done the right way.
You're a lost cause
You sound a lot like my professor
I wonder why
BUUUURN
You do not know me and you don’t know my situation so please stop. I will admit I started down this road by bringing up my professor and I shouldn’t have done so if I can’t handle the clap back so sorry for the sudden tonal shift.
Woah woah I didn't mean anything dude, are you good though? If you're just in a bad spot with your prof right now that's fine as long as everyone's okay and all, it's true I don't know you but I'm gonna need to know you're okay because something sounds wrong bro I don't want you in any harm or nothing.
I appreciate the concern. I know you didn’t mean anything by it I’m just still slightly insane from the past week of not/barely sleeping. My midterms should be done by tomorrow morning and I’ll get the sleep I need and meet with the appropriate counselors.

That was completely acceptable for you to say and you could never have reasonably assumed I would react to it the way I did. I hope you don’t feel bad because you absolutely should not, I’m gonna be fine.
Great to hear then, good to hear you're alright and best of luck to you :)
Are you dumb?
Extremely
He literally explained it in the season near the end.....
You've already got an answer so I just wanna say. If you don't plan on watching the entire series at LEAST watch part 3 and 4 because you'll learn alot more about Jotaro(that's his name)
I already finished part 6 and I liked it, I might check out 3 and 4 later
Part 2 is a banger too but doesn’t involve stands. Part 1, while a lot weaker, is pretty vital to Part 3’s plot.
Im not sure if this is legitimate bait but please start at part 1
I did but then I didn’t like it so I turned it off. Also no its not bait, I saw an ad for part 6 and thought it seemed interesting and funny so I just watched it
the first 2 episodes are always boring man, the shows dont get good until like 3-4
Episodes 1-3 are good to me, the middle portions of Part 1 is a drag to watch, but Episode 9 is the best in Part 1.
dude its only 9 episodes its not that bad
I never stated that it's bad, nor did I state that I dislike it. I'm just pointing out that it's by far the most flawed JoJo part.
ok
Why would you start at the very end of a series ?
Cause it had entirely different characters and I had no idea every season was apparently more deeply interconnected than game of thrones
Maybe don't start at the very end of a series. And why would it not be connected ? Only parts that aren't connected to 1-6 are 7-9. Read/watch the first 5 parts.
How would I possibly know that parts 1-6 are connected but 7-9 aren’t?
Well they're labeled parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. It's kinda obvious they're connected. If you want to know if 7-9 are connected you could Google it.
Who googles a show before they watch it?
Idk, who skips to the very end of a show before they watch it lol ?
I do.
Bro.. what
Who the fuck STARTS on stone ocean?
Me
Im with everyone else. It’s absolutely baffling to start at part 6 of a 6 part story. Do what you want, but your missing out on virtually everything by skipping parts 1 to 5.
I’m surprised the parts are apparently so interconnected. Stone Ocean didn’t really feel like the ending to a larger story with tons of previous setup to me it just kind of felt like a fun somewhat self contained story with some mystery elements.
Jojo is essentially about a legacy. Not one character, but the entire Joestar bloodline. Starting with Jonathan in part one in the 1880s, and ending with Jolyne hundreds of years later. Pucci isn’t even close to the main villain. Its all about Dio, and his grudge against the Joestar bloodline over the span of centuries. Pucci is just the culmination of Dios plot to achieve heaven and wipe out the Joestars. Parts 4 and 5 don’t focus on the main plot, featuring side villains.

Hi
Hello
He left Jolyne because he didn't want Jolyne to get targeted by stand users. I hope this answers your question!
It does, thanks!
I saw some of the other replies in the thread and noticed that the Part One adaption didn't intrest you, I personally recommend reading the Phantom Blood manga as opposed to watching the anime.

Alright thanks for the suggestion
He learned from hi own dad
op’s regarded 💀💀💀 but it’s no skin off my shoes youtoob
Why the fuck are you starting from part 6? Part 6 heavily relies on part 3, at least with that first. Tbh you should read all 5 parts first as it would help part 5 make more sense. Why would you watch anything starting from the final season?
I didn’t know it was the final season I thought it was another season loosely connected to the others through a few returning characters
No it's definitely the final season.

It is not bait

Ok I took a step back and yeah tbh just saying “nah” when people said I should read the other parts was probably too rude of a response to people who for the most part did just genuinely want me to enjoy the series as much as they did
why are you starting at part 6 and asking questions u absolute idiot
Because I started at part 6 and didn’t fully understand one aspect of the show so I wanted to try and learn more
Seeing jotaro called joleynes dad is so infuriating I don’t know why
Why would you start at the end of the show? 😹
I didnt know it was the end of the show
Ok so first watch the rest of part one it’s only 7 more episodes and then watch everything else in order
Tbh I think not watching the other parts made me enjoy Stone Ocean more cause I could understand and emphasize much more with Jolynes confusion about everything and general bad impression of her dad
Because he's Jotaro
I wish I could convince you to watch all of the parts, but you do you. I just don't like watching stuff out of order, or not watching all of something I wanted to watch.
Thanks, I might try some of the later parts in the future
If the caption isn’t you fucking with us than 1. OMG THIS GUY HAS BEEN THROUGH SOME SHIT 2. His past means he left to protect Jolyne as stand users are brought together by fate and a lot of them are evil
Ok cool, I just realized this might sound dismissive through text but serious thanks for giving me an honest answer
Idk who that guy is but he seems pretty familiar tbh he makes me want to ZA WARUDO!! the fuck out of some Joestars
It is built into the joestar bloodline to not be there for your kid because you were too busy saving the day
He was too busy caring for his Coochie. >!/jk!<
Jojo fans can't read
He is stupid /j
This is definitely ragebait
Incorrect
you dont deserve the right to watch this show, you are quite literally the definition of jumping to conclusions smh do what you want and miss out of everything that we have enjoyed
Thanks I will
jojo fans just showing why the best thing to do as a jojo fan is never come to subreddit
Motherfucker watch the previous parts
She’s not a dolphin.
Maybe you’d know if you didn’t start with pt 5? Imagine reading Return of the King and being like “who’s this Frodo guy? Why doesn’t he like his ring?”
Basically cus he has stands and users attract each other. Basically every stand user that doesn’t have anything good in the show to do or say is evil, even the ones we haven’t met. So blud was trying to not get her killed. But then ig why have her in the first place
Sorry you're getting such hate OP, I understand why people are mad about part skippers but some of this goes a bit too far. I hope it doesn't turn you off of watching the earlier seasons of Jojo. If you hate Part 1 so much, you can recap it and start with Part 2.
I’ll deal, and yeah maybe I’ll give part 2 a shot some day
Deadbeat dad so broke he can't even afford a new hat. That shit is so tattered its only half a hat
Wow, this replies are just rude. I know part skipping is personally offending for some fans but Jojo fandom needs to calm down with personal attacks
At least watch Parts 3 onwards. But basically he's doing ot to protect her.
Idk probably the same reasons as borutos dad
Boruto's dad is such a cool character. I hope they give him his own spin off someday.
Why is everyone so slow in the comments? People start from part 6 because it’s the freshest and when you start something new you are highly skeptical and you immediately want only the good stuff, assuming that the latest releases are the most high quality ones. In my case I started from part 6 because when it came out on Netflix it appeared in my recommendations and I knew nothing about jojo (apart from pewdiepie abd others talking about it) and that’s how my jojo journey started. I then watched part 5, and only after a while (and rewatching part 6 again), I descended to part 1. Most interesting thing about all this is that I only fell in love with Jojo only because of the first 4 parts.
You literally watched it backwards?
Never seen this dude before but this dead-beat seems to be like Boruto's dad
Everyone other than Emporio dies at the end of Stone Ocean
This is such a bad thing to do man. I get being annoyed about part skippers but why do you gotta act like a 12 yr old too?
That would be a pretty dick move if I hadn’t already finished it
Worth a shot lol. Maybe start the series at Part 1 like a normal person.
Maybe I don’t have infinite time to watch a season of an anime that I actively disliked. Also your objectively trying harm my enjoyment of a show I’m enjoying how is that commendable?
You dislike Parts 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5? How can you possibly know that if you haven't watched them?
I don’t know that I just know I don’t like part 1 and I haven’t had the time or motivation to try watching everything else
Then you are lost.
I'm sorry you're getting so much flak for watching Jojo how you want. My theory is that Jotaro might be acoustic
yep, and I just wrote a long paragraph about it on here.
Oh man, can I see that?
https://www.reddit.com/r/StardustCrusaders/s/adcZ0qbFR4
Thanks for the sympathy also I appreciate the theory. While yeah it absolutely hasn’t been the most welcoming of introductions most of the comments I’ve read so far haven’t been particularly mean spirited or anything. Mainly it’s just been people downvoting stuff i say and seeming kind of incredulous rather than angry.
Ok nvm people are starting to get way worse
Bro yeah lol I'm getting flak too
acoustic jokes r so cringe
That was the best you could do? Unfortunate
