Jotaro is a lovable idiot. Yes, he's stoic, he's competent, but he also stuck cigarettes in his own mouth. Oh, the dork. Star Platinum is LOVE! He has an EXPRESSION when Jotaro doesn't!

The fight between Bast and Joseph & Abdul! OMFG! I could not stop laughing. Dancing in the street, and the whole; 'This position is rather...' OH MY GOD! ABDUL! *LAUGHS*

The ongoing jokes about Joseph and his piloting skills. What piloting skills? I love the fact Araki added this bit in, as much as Joseph is cool he really can't pilot.

The Oingo/Boingo fight; the art is surprisingly disturbing yet hilarious at the same time. (It amazes me just how macabre Araki can be.) Later in the manga when Boingo teams up with Hol (what's his name, the guys with the gun) was an exercise in psychological terror (I admit, there was much giggling on my part.)

Jotaro writing in his little note book about all the things that was done to him during his 'slavery' binge under the guy who had the Lovers stand was great! I lost it completely because JOTARO HAS GRUDGE BOOK!

Kakyoin is EVIL! Let's not even talk about the whole lying to Polnareff about Abdul's death, there's his treatment of Mannish Boy (yes, Freddy lives on!) He also likes causing people pain... ok, he's a teenager, the conversation he and Jotaro has about sumo wrestlers is just so funny.

Polnareff being turned to a child by Polnareff was AWESOME! And CUTE!! I'm still peeved that we were cheated out of seeing Jotaro as a child.

The video-game face off was a true exercise in cheating by the Great Joseph Joestar! I love the man.

Iggy! Love Iggy, love how all he wanted was to live as the King of the stray dogs, meet up with a nice female dog and have a family, and the fact he saved a little child who loved dogs... *cries* The only death in Part 3 that made sniffle.

Dio; Evil, Cruel, bad-bad-megalomaniac-vampire-lord-of-doom. I see what sabina mean about the whole vampire Lestat thing. I think it is only in hindsight that I realised just what a sick sense of humour Dio actually has. The bit where Polnareff is attempting to climb the stair and he keeps on moving back, or the politician... man, it only dawned on me later that Dio HAD to have used the World because he felt like fucking with people's minds. Also, Dio's total disregard for life is truly disturbing. The face between him and Jotaro where he uses the World, cutting a cat in half in from of him... and the rest was just disturbing.

In conclusion; I really wish Kakyoin, Abdul and Iggy didn't die. You really get attached to the morons. But at least Araki didn't kill JOSEPH!!! (That would have crushed me). Though the questions Jotaro asks Joseph to confirm his identity after the blood transfusion; 'Who sang 'Eat it'? Was just too fucking much. I couldn't decide whether I wanted to cry or laugh.

The ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA! And the MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA! is hilarious.

Conclusion: Part 2 is still my favorite part but I do love part 3.

Gahan Wilson? Sounds really familiar but can't put my finger on it, will google later.. Araki is excellent at horror, his art style lend itself to a horror-realism. Ohhh, will hunt down some of his horror short stories later on. (let's not forget his mastery over FASHION & POSES! *giggles madly*)

It would be really hard, and I -really- want to know what Jotaro said! (Have noticed how NO one calls Jotaro JoJo, most of it is the fact everytime I think about it I crack up laugh... mind you, I can't imagine any of the 'JoJos' being well, called JoJo.) I think one of the reasons that I don't complain about the deaths in JoJo is the fact that they are in moral danger, EVERY SINGLE one of them, at ANY TIME! It kind of make you expect and accept it when it happens (that doesn't mean I don't throw a tantrum or cry because when Araki punches he punches HARD!)

Dio = EVIL SADIST MEGALOMANIC BASTARD!

Don't worry, have classes, got mid-semesters and major assignments coming up, oh, in the next week or so. So, um, later. Finished Volume 39.

You're telling me! People knows Jotaro, and omg! That's a major problem! It is always about surprise and tactics in JoJo, power level very rarely plays a part in the world of JoJo.

His work is in the New Yorker a lot? Just google I think, and pics will come up. Araki's art style continues to develop after part three. I like it the best in part 5, actually, but it's also good currently.

I could see Joseph being called Jojo... Jotaro though, sort of demands to be called by his proper name. XD Yeah, he does punch hard, but that's one reason he's so good. And in arc 5 (where I'm reading now, damn, boy does he punch hard. >_<)

Heh, good luck on those.

Jotaro is like a celebrity in the stand world against his will, sadly. Comes back to haunt him frequently.
