Just read through ALL OF THE COMMENTS! Besides the spoiler ones of course. Thank you ALL so much for all your kinds words and support

I love how most reactors start questioning "who's jojo" durring the DIU intros... the arc with 3 jojos

Fun fact: as you may have noticed, the first opening has a constant theme of comic panels coming to life in many scenes. Since the JoJo manga started in 1987 and the anime came out 25 years later in 2012, this was basically them saying "yes, it's actually happening, JoJo *is* finally getting an anime" to all the fans lol

The community: "King Crimson's power is confusing" Matt: *Figures out how the power works from the intro alone*

To answer when you said "why are all these characters beautiful", the author himself has said that the reason why he makea poses and fashion for his male characters is to show the beauty of masculinity. And that people don't appreciate enough how beautiful men really are.

To answer your question on what inspired the style of all of the characters, the answer is literally fashion magazines and roman sculptures. These are the author's favorite source material. A ton of the poses the characters make are 1:1 with fashion ads, and you can find the comparisons here on youtube if you like, they don't really spoil anything.

Also, to answer your question who is JoJo. Each season effectively starts out with a new protagonist or JoJo so to speak. Usually they’re related to either the previous JoJo or a JoJo before that, it gets a little confusing and convoluted and bizarre but like that’s the whole point so we roll with it

The fact that he managed to understand Bites The Dust from seeing that loop section with Rohan shows this dude has the skills to interpret an opening. Always a nice time seeing someone react to the crazyness of Jojo.

Fun fact: Whenever there's change in the openings, they hinted on the antagonists power.

i don't know why but i love when reactors notice Koichi getting a stand in the 2nd version of Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town lmao

27:56 it's crazy how many ppl miss this. Once you've watched part 4 it also makes a lot of sense considering which character is sitting there in that looping scene

45:41 the jojo creator, Araki, is a HUGE fan of fashion, and thus all his characters have insane designs. He's also huge on western music, which is why alot of the characters and abilities in the show are named after bands, artists, albums, etc. fun fact as well, street fighters art style was inspired by jojo.

2:38 "The clips were just like a bunch of jacked men in a random everyday situation and then punch women" I hate/love that this can apply to so many scenes

My favourite part of the video is when you propose a CORRECT answer to a question the intros pose and say "that's a good idea". Like, YES!! You're getting exactly that in the show! And it's exciting when you get things right, even if small ones

Fun fact, Opening 4 is sung by all three singers of the first three openings.

34:20 you're the FIRST reactor I've seen notice that... You're going to have a great time with this show 😂 EDIT: Aaaaand then you thought Giorno was Dio xD Welp, can't win 'em all 😂

Araki loves three main things: Music, Fashion, and ITALY!

It’s so funny hearing him explain his theory on what the whole show could be and the answer is always just “yes”

The fact that this guy catches on to every. Single. Reference. To abilites in the intros alone is very impressive

When he realizes that "the blonde guy" is also a Jojo I felt a hundred times better haha, I was dying during Diavolo's monologue in traitor's requiem, go and watch Jojo's is an amazing anime.

"that guys jojo" "So thats jojo" "That's jojo" Me: LITERALLY EVERYONE IS JOJO

I am legitimately impressed at several dots you managed to connect throughout all of this. I hope you watch the series and enjoy it!

The last intro is definitely one of my favorites just because right at the end it pays homage to every previous part leading to its finale, it has a lot of symbolisms for the finality of it all and making it all go full circle

48:00 The variant of Heaven's Falling Down -- especially the part where it shows the first 6 JoJos all together -- always makes me choke up a little bit

The dudes behind the other dudes are what is referred to as a "Stand". They're a psychic projection of the user's fighting spirit. Only stand users can see other stands (exceptions apply), only stands can hurt other stands (exceptions apply) and a stand's ability is unique to each user (you guessed it - exceptions f@cking apply). Edit: I'd be totally down to watch your JoJo binge. Please upload the reactions, good sir.

Fun fact: JoJo inspired a lot of anime and games, like Street Fighter, Hunter X Hunter and the Persona series

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HOW YOU PAID ATTENTION TO EVERY DETAIL!! and like you basically guessed everything right as well!! this has to be one of my favourite reactions so far and also i def recommend you watching it!! when I first started, I wasn't really a fan of action and the style so it took me a while to catch up to it, but now im a huge fan!! I never seen anyone say they hated it (unless they never watched it or want attention lol) and im not sure if you have reacted to the endings yet (+ the newest one), but It would be nice to see your reactions lol great video!

one more reactor fall into jojo rabbit hole ahaha

47:20 “He’s Jojo. He’s Jojo. You’re Jojo. I’M Jojo! Are there any more Jojos I should know about?!” Three more Jojos emerge from an alternate universe. “…I’m leaving.”

Referring to stands as pokemon has got to be the funniest thing ive heard in a while 😂🤣

I’ve only ever seen two shows that have done the whole villain distorts/messes with the intro thing And that’s JoJos and…. Gravity falls weirdly…….

This man is also beautiful. Dude, you're like a jojo character yourself.

Fun fact about the 4th opening: It's sung by the people who did the first 3 openings: Hiroaki "TOMMY" Tominaga, Coda, and Jin Hashimoto, who together get referred to as the JO☆STARS. The final version of the 7th opening(Great Days) was also done by them and the people who did the other openings in between the 2: Jun Shirota, Taisuke Wada, Jeity, Tatsu Hoshino, Karen Aoki, Daisuke Hasegawa, who together with the JO☆STARS get referred to as JO☆UNITED

You are the FIRST person I have ever watched who noticed the Egyptian gods in the shadows.

“Is that jojo i can tell cuz I feel like I see different people” got me good 😂

I fucking love you, you caught a decent amount of lore with ONLY THE OPENINGS. You've got my subscription, this is amazing can't wait to see your reactions to the episodes!

The powers of Jojo is when bizarre becomes an understatement. Part 1 to 2: Hamon..... and vampirism, Part 3 to 9: Stands and Part 7 to 8: The SPIN.

This is by far the BEST reaction video to these openings. Your attention to changes and excitement has me anxiously awaiting your journey through the show

The characters that you see 'behind' most of them are literally the same way they work in Persona, which you mentioned. Because Persona as a whole was heavily inspired by Jojo part 3. Street Fighter, Tekken, King of Fighters, Yu-Gi-Oh, Shaman King, and countless other japanese franchises have used ideas and designs from Jojo for the past 30 years.

You gotta watch the endings now, they’re gonna catch you off guard

26:20: specifically for the third version of Traitors Requiem (39:07)..... I and collectively most of the fanbase at this point, lost their shit. They'd delayed releasing the final couple of episodes for a month, seemed a bit weird, but looking back on it I swear it was just so they could add that third variant of the intro. I remember it vividly because I was at a convention at the time, and I publicly flipped out.... along with a couple of other people when I was like 'did you see this shit?!' So yeah.... it happens. I kinda predicted the first change since they're usually based around events changing in the story, but a second change was out of left field lol

DONT LISTEN TO ANYONE WHO TELLS YOU ANYTHING BAD ABOUT ANY PARTS (I love your reactions)

Hi! I found your channel through these reactions and I would love to see you react to the actual series! I don’t see a lot of people pausing the intros and going back in order to pick apart things that caught their attention, so it was a nice refresher! Plus your personality throughout the reaction was interesting! :D Even if you don’t react to the anime, I’m still leaving my sub for future vids!

omg you really understood a lot of things about each part of the show only watching the OPs

The Stone Ocean OPs hurt me so much, but SO damn good.😂 The return to the OG psuedo 3D art style used for the Phantom Blood, Battle Tendency, and Stardust Crusaders Openings may not seem like much, but as someone that was watching these as they came out with little to no rewatches in between seasons? Bro. THE NOSTALGIA.😂 Phantom Blood came out in like... 2012 or some shit. Dawg, I WAS 12 AND IN *MIDDLE SCHOOL* when I started this series! I'm going to be 23 next month. This show has been with me FOR PRETTY MUCH HALF OF MY LIFE! I am WEAK to this level of nostalgia! It doesn't stop with just the art style of the OPs. I haven't caught all of them, but I've been told there's call backs to EVERY OP before the Stone Ocean OPs within the Stone Ocean OPs. And one of them I'm bout to talk about is probably one of the BEST call backs EVER DONE IN ANYTHING EVER. In the Phantom Blood OP, the first thing we see is a Manga panel of Jolyne Joestar, the main character of Stone Ocean, and then it rapidly flips through Manga Panels all the other past JoJos throughout the series until arriving at the FIRST JoJo, Johnathan Joestar, who is the MC for Phantom Blood. In Stone Ocean Opening 2, Heaven's Falling Down, during the change up, you see Manga panels flipping from Jonathan, forward through all the JoJos that have come after him. And it stops on Jolyne. It is... Quite literally, the BIGGEST blast of nostalgia I have EVER felt in my life. I'm not even a manga reader, but I just know that scene probably hit them like a shit load of bricks too. Scenes like that, moments like that... Genuinely prove to me that anime will always be better than manga when the creators pour in enough love, passion, and care into what they're making. Some people are gonna take that as me saying manga is bad, but no. Manga is amazing in it's own right, and has a level of consistent art quality and what not that anime can never match due to the nature of what anime is. Likewise, anime can do absolutely phenomenal things, like what I have just mentioned, that mangas just... Can't. Because to make moments like that truly hit, you need the right animation, soundtrack, and the like which pure manga and even fan edits of a given manga simply can't deliver. It's a flaw of the medium, and it makes both forms of the story so much more beautiful than they would be if we could have everything from a single medium.

jojo is easily one of my favorite series, so glad to you see you interested in it. i highly recommend takin' the journey through this masterpiece. much love

Trust me, the extra features for the openings is absolutely FIRE. Also, they usually last for the last few episodes, around the time they fight the main villain

Whether you end up reacting to Jojo or binging it yourself, I do hope you enjoy the journey =) Just one word of caution; You WILL end up seeing a lot of things differently, especially within media produced in japan. Jojo has been a HUGE influence since it's conception and you'll start to notice it in places you least expect. =)

cant belive he figured out a lot of the abilities just of the intros LOL

Youre one of the reactors that ever looked at those tiny details that jojo openings have and i love that

This guy is rightfully named matt cus hes like matpat figuring stand abilities just by watching the intro

Beyond worth watching honestly, the thought put into the show is 👌 Would totally watch the reactions, worth every second.

I absolutely love Jojo openings because they make absolute 0 sense and reveals nothing about the plot, but after you finish watching the part all the little details you can find makes sense and foreshadows a lot

Welcome to Part 4, when Araki finally found his own art style and left his and JoJo's Fist of the North Star roots behind forever. Each Part has its own JoJo... and sometimes an old JoJo comes back after he's had his time in the spotlight.

4 months late but I'm so glad you're watching the show now. Don't apologize for the pausing, you had more than a reaction to these openings -- you had a real experience. Now you get the full experience with context!

So basically the alternate opening is reserved for when the main antagonist reveals his stand power (the ones you called pokemon) and they usually have something to do with the stand for example (SPOILERS AHEAD) The firs one with a variant shows Dio(the blonde dude) stopping time which is his Stand called THE WORLD's ability,that's why right before he freezes,he shouts "ZA WARUDO" which is japanese pronunciation for the world

Really good content brother, you caught a lot of details and even accurately figured out a whole bunch of things, smart observations my dude 👌 Ya gained a sub for sure!

JoJo is a nickname, and more or less it's how most of the protagonists are referred to in every part of the series, save maybe the fifth protagonist Girono Giovanni , and are members of the Joestar family, whose members and extended family , and their allies are drawn into fights against supernatural and paranormal evil throughout generations of their line . The spirits you see besides them are called Stands and are introduced in the third part, they are basically psychic avatars that reflects the user's soul , and vary in size, power and effect.

Fun fact: the guy that singed the 2nd song is the same as the guy who dubed the japanese voice of the protagonist of the 2nd season of jojos

Every part of JoJo's has a new main character and a cast of characters. All JoJo's are related to each other in one way or another. Previous JoJo's can show up in later parts where they are supporting characters.

Really like how you pay attention and put things together when reacting to openings. Getting some guesses spot on or pretty damn close.

One of the few reacters to these op that really gets the mood, vibe and coolness of this show. It is very deep and comic on some way, but you see the vibe immediately. And yes, the variations are really cool and shocking, since they put them into the ongoing series just for the latest episodes!

Congrats, you are the first reaction I see that puts attention to the looping part with Rohan in that opening of "Diamond is Unbreakable". People notice the unwind elements but always turn elsewhere or talk over that part and miss it. Also, the comment on Giorno is not entirely off the mark but I'll just leave this comment there xD

Bro tried to understand king crimson from the intro 💀💀💀💀💀

You are the first reactor I’ve watched that figured out not only that there are multiple JoJos, but also who each JoJo is. Well done, fam! Excellent observation skills, honestly lol

Something not a lot of people notices about the time freezing variant of the opening 4, is that the credits also freeze on the air lol. Also, there are other variants of every opening but with sound effects, usually reserved for the very last chapter of every season iirc.

I just loved the amount of detail he noticed, so many reacts seen and no one ever noticed the details that the fans noticed, FINALLY SOMEONE NOTICED

I loved that you cracked the code right at the end. Most people stick with JoJo number 3 being the only JoJo and they never realize how many JoJos there are. Non-spoilery version: All JoJos are related in one way or another, the specifics of a few of them are spoilerific so I'll leave it at that.

Also, Persona was inspired by Jojo, hence why you feel that kind of Persona-esque touch to the music or style, whatever you felt

They're all JoJo There's Jonathan Then Joseph Then Old Joseph and the new JoJo, Jotaro Then Jotaro meets the new JoJo, Josuke Then Jotaro sends his adoptive son ( not literally ) to meet the next JoJo, Giorno Then there's Jotaro's daughter, Jolyne. They're all JoJo

Whatever you choose to do just make sure you watch this masterpiece

Dude you are like one of the most observant people I have ever seen reacting to this and you're getting really really close with so many predictions and assumptions! Good job

Plot twist, They're all jojo

I love your reaction. Its not like the other peolple who just say cool music/ idk whats going on. You actually pay attention to the opening and speculate how the story goes. I love it dude. I hope you will actually react to the series.

,,are they related?!" i love you man

Dude the way i was screaming at my phone everytime you got something right jdksjsks, insane deduction skills btw

"In what appears to be Kenny G's labyrinth, the sextet are then seen climbing a dark staircase. A spotlight swings left and right 4 times, each swing showing a different silhouette of an Egyptian god, foreshadowing the enemies whose Stands are based on the deities."

I love your attention to detail, one of the best reactors. You got a lot of things spot on but missed some too and the ones you got wrong actually made a lot of sense😂. Id love it if you reacted to one piece openings too

This is the most insightful reaction I've ever seen. You are noticing simbolisim meant to be understood after watching the series

Just by the fact that you didn't call yourself an "anime fans" and having a bizarre hairstyle, I already know this's going to be a good reation video. I didn't disappoint

I would absolutely love to see you react to Jojo. Seeing your reactions to the intros and how you took the time to try and understand them and how many things were getting you hyped, I think I would really enjoy your reactions to the anime!

The best part of JoJo openings is that they pretty much spell out or spoil everything about the story, but without context there is no way in hell you'll have any idea what you're looking at.

The best JoJo Reaction so far, I love when you pause and interpret stuff especially because the things you say make sense

In all of these Jojo OP reactions I've watched you are literally the first one to pick up on part 4's remixed intro. Crazy.

you asked what inspired the style of this show.. the easy answer is "Fashion" the dude who wrote jojo uses lots of references from photoshoots and fashion magazines.. and also music this whole show is fill with music and fashion references.. good show 10/10

Yes, i love Jojo's openings because its full of symbolism of whats happening in the show.

Imagine if everyone thought Kira was the villain, and it turned out he was just some grouchy guy who _really_ wanted to be left alone. 😂

I love how you've made the connection between the first bad guy who kicked the dog and the 5th Jojo. Without spoiling too much, he's the son of the first bad guy AND the first Jojo in a weird roundabout way.

I absolutely recommend watching it. Especially now since the effective first timeline is complete. Don’t wanna spoil too much but it’s a wonderful show that actually connects and for shadows almost everything.

Idk why but when you said a “plant lady” I thought of a crazy cat lady petting a plant cat. Btw yes that is a JoJo reference. You can make a JoJo reference out of anything. Remember the words “plant and cat”. It’s quite a bizarre adventure.

Damn this dude is smart !! He literally figured out the characters and the villains like most of the people reacts the op dont even know whos the jojo 😂😂and he almost figured out the king crimson ability

Loved how perceptive you are man. Very few reactors like you nowadays, shows you really care about the content you're viewing. Great video 👍

I think the reason to watch Jojo is because how how intertwined it is with modern anime, there's a reason there's a saying that 'everythings a jojos reference" because this is the show that directly inspired so many mainstream favorites. Persona 5 and many many many others, that by itself is a reason to delve into it. Its got a huge cultural impact and I don't think most people even realize that before they actually start watching.

Just a heads up, the first Stone Ocean opening actually has another variant that, for some reason, wasn't included in this compilation.

Man i just love watching people react to jojo openings

Perfect reaction. I love how you noticed smaller details and took the time to analyse a bit more.

8:46 To answer your question about the 'character behind them', they are 'Stands', and its the power system they use second season onwards! To summarize, they are manifestations of the characters fighting spirit, and usually have a weird or situational ability that characters have to use to their advantage! Think like personas, but there are NO duplicates unless in VERY specific circumstances; each one is different and has different powers, which keeps every fight engaging and interesting, because it allows for effectively infinite variety in villains and gimmicks!

I mean you're not wrong about the crazy mansion part and your technically not wrong about the shadows being villain.

man, it's crazy how you got a LOT of thing right, of course you got somewhat confused with some things that happen in the openings because they don't tell a shit, but man, you got some thing really really close to the actual thing, it's amazing, great react dude

I absolutely love this guys reaction he actually takes guesses on the plot of the show and everything
