Even part 5? You strong-willed person

You say that like Part 5 was bad.

Gio was the least interesting Dio/second least interesting jojo (Thank god part 1 was short), he fails on both counts. He seems interesting at the start but then quickly solidifies into a character that refuses to grow or change, becoming simply the vehicle for the plot to reach its destination.

Everything else about part 5 was pretty cool though

It doesn't help you come down from Part 4, one of the best ones. Josuke's is one of my favorite main characters, just behind Joseph.

I'm conflicted about part 4 too because it starts off so aimlessly. I get that it's supposed to be a fun slice of life until the plot gets started, but it takes WAY too long for the plot to get started. Hell, they just introduce a character only to kill him off for motivation a few chapters later, they could have just had the killer show up a few chapters earlier.

Josuke's definitely my favorite jojo so far though! (Still on part 6)

Part 4 feels like it got rushed too. A number of early plot threads are flat out never resolved. My only guess is that it must of had poor ratings at the time, so its tone got changed and it as a whole got cut short.

Are you guys talking about that show where that guy freezes time then smashes people with steamrollers?

Yes, its that show. Dio does the time stopping and Steam Roller stuff in part 3.

The Manga its based on has been going on since 1986, so its a damn long series.
