The only good thing about part 8 ending is the dog appearing in the final page

I can’t wait for “jodio you can’t see it yet but the raindrops created by your stand, they’re spinning” to be on this list

With Part 1, it ties thematically to the very complex nature of Jonathan/DIO’s relationship, is a shocking twist for a first timer, and is a proper tragedy that contrasts with the usual themes of optimism of the series.

Stone Ocean's ending still lingers in my mind for how shocking yet amazing it was. Truly a universal ending done right.

I still haven't recovered from part 6's ending

And may I just add, it's preposterous how many people think that the ending of part 6, with Emporio beating Pucci is "random, out of nowhere, or forced ". This is actually perfect as an ending for Pucci's character and all of Stone Ocean, fitting the theme of fate and justice perfectly. All throughout the story, fate ensured that Pucci will attain heaven for everyone, making the people know the future of their life, to accept it and live happily. But Pucci, after sensing that he will be defeated by Emporio someday in the future, chose to stop the acceleration process right before he succeeded to go kill Emporio, thus he defied fate, the one thing helping him to win, he wants everyone to accept their fate, but rejected his own fate of death. This is the moment his hypocrisy and evil lay bare, the moment he chose to let go of fate, fate let go of him and made him drop from heaven all the way to hell, The ending of Stone Ocean made a lot of sense, Very Much sense and is close to perfection in conveying the theme, which is to acknowledge your destiny while still not giving up hopes and fight on. It just needed more thinkings to realise how masterfully done and how much symbolism Stone Ocean had and sadly so many people didn't.

Im so glad someone else loves pt 4’s ending as much as I do. It’s straightforward like pt 3 but still so rich and full of detail and has had so much story leading up to it’s conclusion. I love how the main cast all collectively help defeat kira. It just has such a natural build up of tension and bites The dust was the perfect power up for kira. The ending montage also felt perfectly in place and not cheap at all because of how wide the cast was and the setting of the part. While 6’s ending is my favorite, 4 and 7 are the most rounded out.

With Part 4, there’s nothing that can improved. Everything is resolved with no lingering plot threads or hypotheticals like the previous ones; everyone has a chance to sense so no one feels underutilized; and it ends probably the happiest out of the endings to date.

I have seriously never cried so loud at a piece of fiction until I saw Stone Ocean's ending. Even two weeks later, whenever I would randomly think about it I would start tearing up right then and there. I think the term 'masterpiece' gets thrown around a lot nowadays, but I truly and utterly believe that Stone Ocean's ending deserves the title of masterpiece. It truly, truly, is peak fiction.

Part 5's final battle wasn't about Giorno (G.E.R.) vs. Diavolo, it was before that. The battle was between the crew and the main villain fighting to secure the Requiem arrow.

Part 2 has one of my favorite endings, I loved when Joseph came to his own funeral and him chasing Suzi Q around the car.

I am sad how they couldn’t license to play “What A Wonderful World” at the ending of Stone Ocean’s anime adaptation though, not where “Roundabout” plays but when “Distant Dreamer” starts playing at the moment Irene speaks to Emporio. Otherwise the character acting animation in that ending itself made me start crying.

Best thing in part 4 ending is Josuke pose Lmfaoo

Oh. This might sound weird, but in my opinion the final fight of part 5 was the entire chase from the colosseum to the streets which lead to GER. GER was simply the climax and resolution of the fight over the fight itself. Why I like GER a lot.

SBR ending will forever be one of my favorite endings in anime/manga. The prayer monologue by Johnny is probably my favorite monologue in the medium.

Joseph surviving a volcanic eruption through being shielded by a chunk of rock, and then surviving falling from high orbit into the ocean, is roughly on the same level as Indiana Jones surviving a nuclear bomb inside a refrigerator. That's not luck - that's just an impossibility no matter what way you look at it.

I wouldn't really call part 5's ending a "power up-based win", because that implies that the requiem was the means through which the protagonists won. Though not an entirely inaccurate way of looking at it, as both the protagonists and main antagonist were seeking the requiem, it'd probably be better to think of it as being the win condition unto itself, rather than the "win" being treated as a separate goal that the requiem provides the means to achieve.

I think Kira's death is the single best villain defeat in the entire series. I have actually counted, it works on nine different levels.

The Requiem Quietly Plays is easily the most misunderstood arc in the series, the perfect final battle for Golden Wind and people only dislike it because it's unconventional. It stays true to Part 5, and a big Part 3-style final fight between Gio and Diavolo would not fit at all. Stardust Crusaders' fights were all about focusing on each character of the cast at a time, giving them development and problems to solve by themselves. As such during the DIO's World arc, each character takes turns at fighting DIO until they can come up with a way to beating him. Golden Wind on the other hand is much more about teamwork, character interaction, dealing with enemy teams and the environment they're in, and thus that's what the final battle is also about. Anything else would feel out of place. People complain that Giorno vs Diavolo was short and underwhelming, but that's because that's not what the fight was supposed to be, that was simply the result of the true fight, of characters working together to retrieve the arrow and kill Diavolo for good. Having another 10 chapters of Giorno and Diavolo going back and forth would heavily undermine Bruno's sacrifice and the team effort made to get to that point, instead giving all the glory of to Giorno, which would simply feel wrong after all the gang has been through.

With Part 6, it is truly a shocking ending that is tragic, surreally horrific, and bittersweet. It is the climax of the original continuity and in spite of some controversies, it’s the best it can be.

Part 6 is just so amazing. Jolyne and her story has stuck with me longer than any other jojo part this far!

Ngl Part 6 does slap insanely hard. Pucci literally became a force of nature. Part 2 also had a good ending but so did part 5

i just wanna say that the stone ocean ending was perfect for jolynes charecter throughout jojo puccis basiclly said it the joestars have been guided by fate to fight evil but once we get to jolyne we finally see the defiance in her choices unlike everyother joestar jolyne oesnt just let the world pass her or doesnt just accept her fate she actively defies it as best said by one of her greatest quotes one prisioner sees the wall the other sees the stars through the bars the first prisioner is basiclly a representation of part 1-5 they dont question their fate the only just go with it through the flow they never try to outright go against it while jolyne chooses to see the stars she chooses to not just fall in line with her fate and decides to fight against it which is why when she dies you can see thoose butterflys flying free and the sun(a star) flying above her shes finally free she doesnt have to let her descendant fight evil and in the alternate universe all of this is proven as jolyne is the only joestar who didnt have to fight a main villian yes jonathen still died joseph still fought kars jotaro fought dio but this time pucci never interferred cause he never existed josuke still fought kira and giorno still fought diavolo but jolyne didnt ever fight pucci she was free she could now just live her life as what a normal joestar would without the threat of a world dominating maniac in pursuit

A thing lots of people do know is the fact that when Emporio summon Weather Report, it does the same pose Jolyne did in a chapter cover, showing that a little bit of her soul touched the stand

I watched your video about Tooru a while ago (the one where you said you started liking him). And I gotta say, it feels good to have someone else also like/love Tooru as a villain. I don’t know why, but it just does.

Big fan of the Part 3 soft-ending. It’s tragic, provides closure, and is satisfying seeing the death of Dio.

Part 1 is my 2nd favorite ending. Because it’s just so… tragic.

FINALLY. Someone who appreciates the part 6 ending as much as me. People calling the part bad and the ending pointless cause it makes everything not-canon just don't get the point. It's such a thematically perfect ending and it needs to be appreciated more.

I like how everyone in the jojo community gets together when discussing about the Radio Gaga chapter.

I will never forget the roundabout song at the end of part 6

With Part 3, the fight with Vanilla Ice onwards more than makes up for the roller coaster of drawn out forgettable moments and exciting moments. It is a tense, action-packed drama where sacrifices are made, an epic and unique battle of wits occurs to stop the ultimate evil, and it resolves itself in a bittersweet manner. While there nitpicks like Jotaro’s shared time-stopping maybe having more explicit foreshadowing rather than the rather Deus ex machina manner it’s brought up, it’s overall an ending I wouldn’t change.

I think the best Jojo Ending is Part 4's ending: First, it made a background Character relevant: the Final arc starts with hayato being stuck in a ground dog day like situation with kira sloweky killing off the Main cast until hayato managed to outsmart him and save everyone. Second, Everyone got a shine on the spotlight: Hayato saves everyone from dying, Josuke wounded kira, Okuyasu saved josuke and jotaro and koichi gave kira the final blow. Everyone feels relevant here and it's nice to see the heroes not win through a new power up but through Teamwork. Third, Kira: Kira during the entire Arc was now more of a threat then before: First he gained a new Ability which allowed him to kill off first rohan and then the ENTIRE Cast! Seeing a villain actually managing to kill off the main cast is both interesting and horrifing. Though thankfully hayato changed that. But even then he Remained a dangerous threat as he almost killed okuyasu and Actually came that close into killing josuke. Then comes his Demise: Instead of dying to the Heroes, kira died to an ambulance. It's a mix of Realisitic, ridiculously funny and poetic: Kira spend his entire life being unoticed and now he died because the ambulance didn't noticed him. And if this isn't better we are shown what happend to him in the afterlife: he get confronted by the first person he killed and get tracked into hell with the things he always loved the most: Hands. Seeing this Guy finally getting the justice he deserved was just Gold. And at last the final Scene: The final scene is so good for me cuz it's shows us one last look into morioh and shows us how all The characters are now living their lives peacefully and how we can all be happy seeing the characters finally living their lives peacefully and happy in Morioh. And that all is why i think part 4's Ending is the best ending overall in the entire series.

I still feel like Part 5’s ending is some high level thinking I haven’t gotten yet. Like when I’m 90 on my deathbed I’ll be like, “I get it know! Their fate was always written by themselves…..(flatline)…..”

100% agree totally (expect from the part that radio gaga accident is a good episode to bring back lucy but yes maybe I would have put it in another part of jojolion)

Great list bro, wouldn't change a thing, I can't really opinate about Steel Ball Run cuz I speedread that part (I really need to re-read it), Stone Ocean's ending was just perfec and I love to see people who agree. Amazing video, keep up the good work 👍

Glad to see some love for Stone Ocean's ending here. I absolutely adore how in the original universe, the centuries-long saga of the Joestar family began with a blonde orphaned outcast who was born into a life of crime being ushered into a family where he felt unwelcome (and therefore in turn said orphan feels compelled compelled to take his internalized self-loathing and externalize it by hurting others)... only for the saga to end with that same family taking in ANOTHER blonde orphaned outcast who was born into a life of crime and doing everything conceivable within their power to protect him, cherish him, love him, and show him he is capable of breaking the cycles of generational trauma that have defined their own lives, too. Every step in the chain of sacrifice that composes the back half of Part 6, from Weather to Anasui to Ermes to Jotaro to Jolyne... all that death and destruction, calamity and self -sacrifice and dark determination, it all ends with Emporio- the Sole Survivor, standing against the master plan of the Holy Diver. For Dio, a man who grew up in a prison of generational poverty, Heaven was to know what was ordained- to know that all would be well in the end and that he would emerge triumphant from the prison of his circumstances. But for Emporio, who grew up in a literal prison and only found his first taste of what life could be like outside the stone walls and steel bars of his solitary life through the Joestars, Heaven meant freedom... freedom from cyclical pain, the freedom to fly and fall and make mistakes and live with hope for tomorrow. Even before Araki created Stands, his writing was always focused on the soul- more specifically, on how the living inherit the "fighting spirit," the resolve and intentions of those they love after death- and in pitting Fr. Pucci, the ultimate inheritor of Dio's wrath and agony (another broken boy in his own right) against Emporio, the boy who inherited the Joestar fighting spirit, Araki adds one last little wrinkle of poetic irony and thematic cohesion to the end of Part 6. Because if Emporio ultimately symbolizes everything the Joestars stood for, dating all the way back to Jonathan, and Pucci symbolizes all that Dio came to be, then that only makes Emporio beating Pucci with his brother's Stand that much sweeter. It's both tragic and triumphant all at once. There are some elements of Part 6 that aren't my favorite, but once the narrative reaches the point where our characters are forced to sacrifice themselves one by one so that the rest may live, there's nothing that beats the overwhelming atmosphere of inevitability and dread Made in Heaven creates (a feeling Yugo Kanno captured beautifully in Part 6's dark, desperate-sounding motifs). Too long, didn't read; thanks for making this video and giving me an excuse to write a whole essay in the comments about why I think Stone Ocean slaps.

I think stone oceans ending is perfect. Araki proceeded to make the best parts after that with part 8 being my favorite but steel ball is amazing also. I still don’t understand the people who can’t comprehend that the ending of stone ocean has absolutely nothing to do with parts 7-8…. It wasn’t reset into that world at all. I like part 7’s ending also really bittersweet

I really like Part 5's Rolling Stone arc, and I love that something similar happened in Part 8 with the Radio Gaga Incident - an epilogue about important characters set before the first chapter even takes place, which reinforces the theme found throughout the part.

IMO the radio gaga incident does two things 1. Sets up for part 9 (araki said this) 2. Frames the rock people and the incidents of morioh as similar to part 2. You cite tooru as being similar to Kars and I think that's absolutely intentional and wonder of u and toorus character are a less shonen/more grounded depiction of that kind of race that serves the story more

Part 6 is my fav so bitter sweet 😢😅

Dang, I thought this was ranking the ending songs. You should do that I think that would spark even more arguments

With Part 2- the emotional climax was with Wamuu, the fight with Kars is very drawn out- with unfair schemes that go against the previous characterization of the character and while the revelation of Kara’s ultimate goal is cool and Kars being sent into space iconic- it’s ended too quickly before we wrap up the story in a manner that feels more like getting bullet points down to get to the more important Part 3.

For its part 3s ending I love how Jotaro looks at the photo and smiles out the planes window

in my personal opinion, the part 4 ending was perfect. you stated a lot of the reasons why it was so good in this video, but one thing you didn't touch upon was the symbolism with Josuke's crazy diamond, and how Joseph and Jotaro leave him to protect Morioh. the town was left wounded after kira's rampage, and as we know, josuke's main ability is restoration, otherwise known as healing. he is the protector of morioh and he will heal it, is basically what it is meant to say. good video overlal though and your tier list is very well thought out and created

Man! I cant wait for SBR's anime debut... I dont mind if they extend it any further. All what matters is that it gets a good budget for its animation department. I am also wondering if they add any filler plot to it. (I hope not)

Great video! I think it's also important to mention that part 6's ending is about breaking the curse of fighting evil for the greater good that plagues the Joestar family, allowing them to pursue more personal goals in life and making them able to fight for their own happiness (which creates a more natural transition to part 7 and 8). Johnny Joestar's character isn't about fighting evil for good's sake, but is rather about fighting someone whose ideals differ from his, with his ultimate goal being to walk again; Part 8 Josuke also follows that trend as his goal is to get his memory back. They are alternate versions of characters that were fated to fight something that they shouldn't, and the fact that they have more human goals make them more relatable. None of this would be possible without part 6's universe reset, which makes its ending more satisfying despite being bitter sweet. Keep up the good work man!

Bro is so close to 100k keep going

Even after seeing stone ocean’s ending i still think about it even months later. If a piece of fiction is able to stay with you long after viewing it then it’s effective at what it set out to do.

Fun video that surprisingly no one has talked about!

With Part 5, The Rolling Stones mini arc while it has strong thematic connections to the overall fate themes, it drags on longer than it needed to be and it renders the actual ending more like a cliff note and it feels like the final fight was rushed just so this story could be realized. To be honest, it could’ve been placed much earlier, just to add more tension to the impeding deaths of characters and the final fight with Diavolo could’ve gotten a proper conclusion without feeling rushed- maybe a fan fulfillment of Requiem vs Requiem instead of the wash we got instead.

it's weird that i actually have the exact same list as yours. the only thing i'd change is i'd switch part 3's ending with part 8's ending and it'd be the same. part 3's ending is a bit to basic for my taste, it's a good ending and a good send off to the original trilogy, but i just find part 8's to be far more satisfying. the radio gaga arc is pretty messy and weirdly placed, but oddly enough i think it makes enough sense for me to not be too mad about it. part 8's ending really does do a good job of wrapping up the totally bizarre journey that part 8 is as a whole. too often do people hate on it's ending.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="9">0:09</a> - <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="18">0:18</a> LMAO 🤣 (It’s funny cuz it’s true!)

Every Jojo ending has me all teary eyed like that one image of that cat

now you gotta do ranking jojo introductions, possibly including part 9

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="510">8:30</a> I was surprised you used one of the Silent Hill 3 soundtracks (End of Small Sanctuary). Literally my two favorite things: Jojo's and Silent Hill!

Radio Gaga is a great bonus for part 8 and I hope it gets some sort of follow-up in part 9.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="638">10:38</a> for anyone who wants to skip part 8 spoilers

In a way there's only really one JoJo ending which is the stone ocean ending. The SBR universe has yet to conclude

Part 6 ending is easily the peak of all fiction

I’m planning on commissioning an alternate part three ending where Jonathan’s soul slips out of his body and thanks/share some dialogue with his descendants

Also could you make a video ranking the minor villains stand by destructive potential and power if a better stand user was assigned to them

why doesnt metas get more views like bro these videos actually slap

The very ending of pt 7 is great, but the final arc, with the whole Valentine battle has some issues. The most concepually important one is that Valentine's power up is useless and doesn't make him more of a threat, as Johnny would need to unlock act 4 anyway, because otherwise Valentine would escape, like he did many times before. The short battle between him and Dio/Cream Starter was more interesting, because they had to fight tactically and think about how to overcome his busted stand ability. Then he becomes even stronger. Then Gyro dies and Johnny understands how to create act 4 and oneshots the guy, but, once again, he would have to unlock act 4 anyways. It would be more interesting if him and Gyro had to fight Valentine together using tactics as well, and only winning through Gyro's sacrifice.

One thing I noticed about jojos is how araki formats every three parts. The first trilogy focuses on an initial villain and set up in a villain in dio,an exploration on the background powers that allowed dio to come to power(the pillar men), and how part three focuses on a return of the initial problem as dio returns. Part 4,5,6 follows this just not as neatly as part 4 follows the fixing of dios initial villainous effects such as the bow and arrow and the plot about okuyasos dad,part 5 identifies and explores what caused the initial problem this time being the requiem arrow and other arrows in Egypt and part 6 ties up lose ends with pucci being the culimination of dios aftereffects and him being beaten can be viewed as a completion of the original goal in part 4. Parts 7-9 will prolly follow a similar format but instead being concepts of calamity and goodwill or something like that. Unrelated to the original video but it helped me realize it lol😂. Probably some more themes about fate in there too

If anyone is wondering,the music playing during the Part 8 Radio Gaga explanation is Small Sanctuary-Silent Hill 3

8. Part 2 - Fun But Stupid, long and Unsatisfying. 7. Part 5 - Super Unsatisfying. 6. Part 8 - One of the Best Parts with The Worst Final Villain; would be Higher if Tooru wasn't so ass, there weren't so many loose ends and Radio Gaga wasn't just thrown in so unrelated. 5. Part 3 - If JoJo ended here it would be perfectly fine and satisfying. 4. Part 4 - The most complete conclusion with the least loose ends and lingering questions. 3. Part 1 - As someone who went in nearly blind, thinking that Old Joseph was an Aged Jonathon from minor spoiler exposure, this hit me perfectly. 2. Part 7 - High Voltage is perhaps my Favourite Fight in the Series and the Ending going so far beyond the Main Villains Defeat is something I wish was done more. 1. Part 6 - The Perfect Conclusion to the Main Universe as a whole and by far the most emotionally impactful.

Right, who else thought this was going to be about the ending songs 💀

Part 5's ending always really bugged me, because if Rolling Stones predicted the fate of everyone before all the Diavolo shenanigans then he isn't actually changing his own fate...it was already predestined that he'd change his fate in the way he does

I'd honestly put the Part 8 ending at the bottom. In a sense it has some parallels with Part 5 ending (fully agree with why you thought it was mid), but by Part 8 Araki has grown so much as an author and the story up until then was so intense that expanding on the philosophical aspect of the takeawat theme in the last segment after such an epic spectacle is like finding a fly in the last spoonful of a soup. (The whole Holly not getting cured and not seeing interaction with the mother whatnot is just an insult). Part 8 is one of the few parts where I think the prologue and middle are top tier but the ending falters.

Another Incredible Video METAs! 👏👏👏👏 ❤❤❤❤ 💖💖💖💖

I thought this was going to be ranking the EDs of the animated parts, and was wondering how you would have gotten almost 20 minutes out of that.

With Part 8, the Radio Gaga is much worse than the already controversial Rolling Stones. In the case of the latter, it at least attempted to tie into the thematic themes and main story in a manner that made sense. Radio Gaga feels more like one of the Rohan one shots randomly shoved it- and if you had no knowledge of Lucy Steel, Toru or Joseph Joestar, you’d be scratching your head as to why it needed to exist. Removing it or at least placing it much earlier would’ve given more potential content to the Wonder of U arc with elaborations in Go Beyond and other potential plot elements that were never given an answer. That said, Gappy’s conclusion to his character arc was well handled. Hopefully, the anime adaptation will have enough time to fix a lot of the issues of the Part.

damn almost 100k subs

With Part 7, it is almost perfect- it has a culmination of the main character’s growth, a battle of beliefs, a callback to the Part 3 fight that ends in a manner that doesn’t feel cheated, every loose end wrapped up and the only flaw is that it’s the beginning of a new era of Jojo.

I think you should watch some videos about the overall symbolism of jojolion because the story is actually deeper than you think. It involves how the tusk's gravity is the reason why wonder of u got defeated.

Hey could you also cover some obscure stands from the main series and spinoff and marketing and other jojo media. Thank u

Jobber took the first thing you're not supposed to do to the extreme. now He's like talking about how GER is weaker than star platinum and King crimson💀💀💀 his GER saga is a$$ I don't even keep up with it anymore and now he uploaded two more multi- hour videos on the same thing bruh.

I don't blame part 3's ending seeming like the complete ending, even though it's not, and that's because it originally was the actual ending to the series before Araki decided to continue JoJo's.

Damn, showing how smooth brained you are with that Part 5 ending opinion.

I thought you were talking about like song endings, had me thinking I was trippin

Part 2s finale is why i became a fan personally since its just so absurdly hype XD

I completely disagree about Rolling Stone in part 5 and to a lesser extent Radio Gaga. I just love the way that arc recontextualizes the entire journey. As an epilogue, it doesn't really feel out of place because the story was over anyway, so that at least doesn't bother me. What Rolling Stone means for fate in Jojo is massive and I love that arc for how it handles it, so for that reason I'd honestly have part 5's ending be one of my top favorites.

kira at the end of part 4 sayiing WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK still makes me laugh to this day ngl

honestly i consider sleeping slaves to be the best jojo arc overall, love it

I have to disagree with the final battle of part 5 being powerup based because i believe giorno getting the power up is the end of the final battle. Its hyped up that whomever gets the arrow will gain immense power, thus we know that when giorno gets it the fight is set and done. Everything leading up to it is the final fight, the fight for the arrow aka victory.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="499">8:19</a> "why is it here?!" I think Araki once mentioned that he still has a lot to tell, but he just couldn't put it in JoJolion due to his redactors limiting pages, chapters (not on purpose, I guess) I could be completely wrong, check it yourself somewhere in author's notes

Good video. I agree fairly well. One piece that erks me on Diamond is unbreakable is that Jotaro gets the final hit and is the final conclusion in the fight. IMO, his part is done and while he can help, him getting the final hit takes away a bit from the characters. Doesn't have to be Josuke, but should have been a part 4 character. Also, a portion that brings Stone Ocean to the top for me is that Emporio beats Pucci with Weather Report, adding a sense to the story about family. It was family that cursed the Joestar bloodline, and through the power of a family member, it is what sets them free.

Stone ocean actually brought tears to my eyes

I still haven’t recovered from the words “My name is Emporio…” I start crying like a baby whenever I think of it SPECIALLY WITH DUFFY’S DISTANT DREAMER IN THE BACKGROUND AAAAAAHHHH😢

Personally, without trying to justify my personal opinions, I would say my favorites are... 1. Steel Ball Run 2. Stone Ocean 3. Stardust Crusaders 4. Golden Wind 5. Phantom Blood 6. Diamond is Unbreakable 7. Battle Tendency 8. Jojolion

I know you like to stick to Canon Jojos but I was wondering if you would talk about the, Non-canon King Crimson Requiem

I thought you were gonna talk about the endings as in the songs, those at the ending of each episode, i was like "wtf is he talking about, when is he gonna talk about the songs" HAHAHAHAHA

Honestly, I 100% agree with your ranking. Pretty much everything you said, I agreed with.

10/10 list, couldnt agree more

Part 2s ending is hype as FUCK. I lost my shit at Joseph's in-universe ass pulling, him cheating death is such a Joseph thing to do, and THEN we get a PART 3 TEASER!? It was iconic. You had to be there.

The whole intro I thought he meant anime EDs

I agree with your placement up to part 8 for the most part.

Me seeing part 1 at number 6: YOU HAVE GENUINELY ANGERED ME

When I finished reading 6 and 7 I was saying "Is it really over?"

Save for the placement of Part 1 and 8, I think this list is spot on.
