Damm Alicia wanted Kakyoin to die just to spite the "spoiler" so bad he actually died 💀

me: "man i like this character" narrator: "when X was a child..." me: "oh no"

Time stop actually effects the whole universe, the stands range is just how far from Dio the world is.

There's a phrase that the fanbase created that I really love: "17 years of loneliness, 50 days of friendship." Rest In Peace, Kakyoin

Reminder: Dio used his ultimate Time Stop to mess with Polnareff and move him down the stairs repeatedly and gaslight him. I repeat: He. Moved. Polnareff. Down. The stairs. Every time. And even picked up a chair for himself.

I have never felt more sheer terror while watching a piece of fiction than the scene where DIO pulled that knife in stopped time, I legit felt my stomach drop when I first watched it.

The sheer menace Dio exudes when he uses his ability is unparalleled Honestly, in general, Jojo villains just sell the power and d r i p of their abilities better than most brands

That one Discord DM that spoiled Alicia that Kakyoin lives: *My goals are beyond your understanding*

There are two kinds of flashbacks in Jojo: _1_ ) To show someone's past so we get more of an idea what their life was like before all of this _2_ ) The same as above, but with the addition that they will literally die after that flashback

Watching Alicia die inside was an inevitability with this series but it's still kinda sad.

Also: The sheer HATRED in Jotaro's eyes when he finally faces Dio always gives me chills. We have seen Jotaro angry before, but not this utterly FURIOUS.

Kakyoin Family: Both parents alive, but this trip to Egypt is without their knowledge, so they're very worried about him, thinking he's run away from home

You have to feel for Kakyoin's poor parents. Their child, who's always been rather aloof and distant, changes after a trip to Egypt, demands to change schools in the middle of the year, skips school for 50 days to go with strangers on some sort of road trip, and the next thing you know, he's being shipped home from Egypt with a hole the size of a bowling ball through his chest. They're never going to learn the truth. Even if they could believe in something like 'Stands', it's probably easier to let them believe that Kakyoin got tricked into this situation and led to his death by Jotaro and the others, than to make them realize that they never knew that their boy was so miserable for so long. Fun fact: In the Heritage For The Future fighting game, Cooler Kakyoin (with the sunglasses) can defeat DIO in the final battle of his campaign, only for DIO to land one final blow. Kakyoin hides his injuries from Jotaro and Joseph (who survives in this version), only to die on the plane home as Jotaro tries to wake him up.

JoJo goes from "haha wacky thing and crazy clever fights" to depression and sad character deaths

In fact, kakyoin wasn't going to die but since Alicia wanted him to die so much for the spoiler to be wrong, she ended up changing the story and got the bad ending :(

I just LOVE the build-up to the final battle. You had a previous villain return using the body of the frist main character, so it's a character the people already know and love and now with a shock effect. You don't show his face till the final battle with the main characters. You keep teasing what his ability is like untill you finally reveal it and it's a fricking terrifying ability. You flesh him out by making him kill some of the main characters, and one of them undercovers his ability and tells the others. And finally you face him against the protagonist, who isn't just any protagonist, but Jotaro, the badass ice-cold main character who always keeps a cool head and now he witnessed his own grandfather dying before his eyes and he's fricking pissed (also the villain tells him he killed another of his friends). And of course the iconic Jotaro and Dio pre-fight-lines and their famous walk. The writing to get to the final fight between Jotaro and Dio is soooo good!

"IT'S TIME FOR OUR FINAL BATTLE!" "I have to get closer before i can shit on you- Agh DAMMIT!"

Fun fact: Kakyoins guts were most likely getting flooded out by the water.

*inhales through nose sharply* ZA WAARUDOOOOO! Oh God I've been wanting to say that since episode 1

Finally! Welcome to the most legendary, the most iconic and the most meme filled fight in the whole Jojo's!

Alicia last episode: Now I WANT Kakyoin to die. Alicia this episode: WHY DID THEY KILL KAKYOIN???? D,,,X

Kakyoin actually told them about the dream world in the manga, just wanted to point that out, also if you're gonna watch the JoJo part 3 in 5 minutes then watch the first episode of part 4 because the parody has spoilers for the first episode of part 4

Fun Fact the card hirophan in tarot is know as the messager and the same with kakyoin his stand was mostly used to scout and to send a massage the final emerald splash.

When you realize the cameraman was moving during the stopped time

Alright, before it becomes confusing I’ll say: whenever you see an instance of Dio “flying”, it’s because he’s using his stand to kick off of buildings and keep himself in the air

"Hey Jotaro! DIO's ability is to stop ti..."

Joseph definitely got more PTSD from watching more friends dying, especially another young man.

Heartbreaking fun fact: Kakyoin didn't tell his parents when he went on the mission to Egypt, so they think he ran away from home. His parents don't know what happened.

Kakyoin's final story and death always make me cry no matter how many times I watch this. Just the thought of being the only person in the world as far as you know who can see it the way you do until you meet a couple of amazing people who can see your stand and who become your friends, brothers even. Then to have it all ripped away so quick....and the worst part is he doesn't even get to know if his sacrifice saved them 💔 😪

What Jojo does so well is stakes. The villains can actually be so competent unlike most other battle shonen villains who lose to more plot armour

Alicia: They took Avdol and Iggy...Not Joseph.... (Immediately Forgets about Kakyoin)

Araki never scared to kill characters

Please don’t skip the opening for the next reaction

What’s worse is that Joseph will never find out that he fed that evil baby it’s own shit. He would’ve gotten a laugh out of that man.

Fun fact: kakyoin never told his parents about gouing to Egypt for them he just went to school one day and never returned

"Joseph has survived crazier shit." Yeah, but he's old now.

Never forget. Dio physically picked up Polnareff and moved him down the stairs just to gaslight him.

We all knew this is gonna happen and still hoped till the very end that Crusaders will meet less tragic end. If everything that you see is despair and loss, you grow accustomed to it and you learn how to take a hit, but Araki is master of calming down his audience and making it sit comfortably to make us lower your guard before striking where it hurts. Avdol, Iggy, Joseph, Kakyoin, RIP and godspeed to you all, wherever you are passing away. F

It's a good day for some donut eating. But it's a bad day for rain. Kakyoin, you were the best character in part 3. You'll be missed.

The anime shows it really, really weirdly, but dio flying is actually just his stand throwing him. For some reason the anime depicts them as actually flying.

Oh, we are approaching the end of this part? Even tought it was very long and the travel lasted 50 days we can´t start part 4 without watching the final fight hoho.... then lets watch as we like

That's why people say Careful what you wish for. You wanted Kakyoin dead. well, He dead now.

Finally, you have witnessed one of the most iconic sound effects in all of anime ZA WARUDO! *BASS BOOSTED TIME STOPPING SOUND*

Favorite Nazi is a wild line although understandable

Fun fact, Erina Japanese voice actor voices Shen he in Genshin Impact . And Dio Japanese voice actor voices Papa shirogane in Kaguya sama love is war.

There's an unused song focused on kakyoin named "Goodbye Nostalgia" and it never fails to make me cry. The lyrics and the song itself is so gut-wrenching, I really recommend you listen to it at least once. Goodbye Cherry lover, I'm glad you were at least able to spend your last 50 days with people who finally understood you.

Daily JoJo's fun fact: since we lost a real one today you'll be getting two fun facts today A lot of fans have theorized that since Kakyoin didn't have friends as a kid, he resorted to playing video games by himself and that explains his exceptional abilities as a gamer Since DIO's stand can stop time that means when he confronted Polnareff on the stairs he stopped time, physically rushed down the stairs, carried Polnareff, put him back right where he came from and rushed up the stairs again all in five seconds just to fuck with Polnareff and to make him think he can't go up the stairs

The most tragic part of Kakyoin's death is that in the manga it’s stated that his parents thought he just ran away, so they probably still think he’s out there, hell they might be looking for him not even knowing what happened

Finally, our journey is coming to an end. Can't wait for part 4

Love DIO's pettiness though, love to hate him, hate to love him. DIO just a good villain all around!

I'll never get over the brilliance of Jospeh explaining to Jotaro how The World works. "It's a stand that stops ti-" and cut by Dio yelling "The World!." always get me.

21:50 a lot of people have this part of the episode memorized

"Then come as close as you like" This is it, the final battle against the war between the joestars and the stone mask. The famous battle of all anime. Jotaro vs Dio.

When you realize that your childhood and even adulthood persona is kid Kakyoin but without the stand

Kakyoin is now a member of the Donuts family!

DIO's the world is universal, all time stoped, when they talk about its radius they're talking about how much DIO can move whole time is stopped. When they we're driving they were more than 5 seconds away so he couldn't just stop time and kill them.

And now, we enter one of the best Final Battles in all of Anime. Prepare yourselves.

Lord Dio is truly strong, his The World is invincible. bow down to Lord Dio, and he will take you to your peace of mind. 🙇‍♀🙇‍♀

Damn, Alicia was singing a whole song 20:48

Can we appreciate how much Dio LOVES being a Cee yoU Next Tuesday? He's the pettiest, and hes not just evil, hes smart as hell, using the environment to his advantage And the pleasure and sadistic attitude when he says that "Z e r o" when he unfreezes time when ge kills Joseph? *mwah* chefs kiss, what a fantastic villain

the infamous episode 46, i’ve waited 46 days… 46!!

I don't know if you remember people in comments saying "What a sweet donut boy" when Kayoin first appeared and you probably wondered why. Well... now you know.

Dio can stop time for 5 seconds, but JJBA follows the DnD rule of "talking is a free action", so really Dio can stop time for as long as he can talk.

I'll never get over the fact that deal use this time stopped to troll polnareff on the stairs.

Probably gonna post this again on the next reaction. So, for Part 4, the only way to watch it uncensored is only via the English dub while only on Hulu. HOWEVER - if you watch it subtitled on Netflix, the names remain unchanged. Somewhat of a win either way?

Even Araki said that he had to nerf Joseph for this part, and I hate that decision

JOTARO, LISTEN TO ME, DIO IS TOO POWERFUL. HIS STAND IS TOO POWERFUL. THE STAND THAT BELONGS TO DIO. ITS ABILITY IS POWERFUL. NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, DON'T GET CLOSE TO HIM, HE WILL KILL YOU EVEN IF YOU KNOW ITS ABILITY. THE ONE THAT'S SO POWERFUL. I FIGURED IT OUT. IT'S TOO STRONG, JOTARO. LISTEN, I HAVE TO TELL YOU, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE. I KNOW THE SECRET OF HIS STAND SO HE'S TRYING TO KILL ME. THAT'S WHY I HAVE TO TELL YOU. TELL YOU THE ABILITY OF THE WORLD, THE STAND THAT BELONGS TO DIO. BECAUSE OF HOW STRONG IT IS. THE SECRET OF HIS ABILITY. JOTARO. YOU HAVE TO KNOW THE ABILITY. LISTEN TO ME. THE SECRET IS TIME. IT'S THE SECRET OF THE WORLD, DIO'S STAND. THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT SO POWERFUL. THE WORLD CAN ST- gets stabbed in the neck

God I've been waiting for that "za warudo!" for so looooong! Feels great to finally hear him say it!

7:48 LMAO Dio with the lag switch stand. 🤣

Finally, the "You're approacing me" meme

Finally it’s here ZA WARUDO !!!! Only 2 episodes left of stardust crusaders and then we go to Diamon is Unbreakable or *ahem ahem* 🎶Mori Mori Mori Mori Morioh Cho Radio🎶

12:55 time stop spreads through the whole universe

God dammit! She paused right when DIO stopped time, and talked over the coolest sound effect in the whole part!

Kakyoin: 20-Meter Radius, EMERALD SPLASH!! DIO: More like, BELONG IN THE TRASH!! *ZA WARUDOOOOOO!!!* RIP Noriaki Kakyoin

remember, Kakyoin never told his parents that he had gone to Egypt with Joseph and company, so for them it's like he just ran away from home...

everyone who watching jojo: Araki stop killing dogs Araki: 18:26 🙂

"oh... your approaching me...?"

The time stop is universal

13:20 that reminds me of how it was thanks to stroheim that joseph got artificial hand model. In part 2 it was mentioned he passed during the battle of Stalin, he was quite the interesting dude.

Awww noo they didn;t catch the iconic moment of "ooh you're approaching me!" 😂🤣

Theory: Ant is Dio 12:52 16:35

18:50 To be fair - DIO is actually improving here, because the cat unlived in stopped time doesn't have time to feel pain - it ceased to exist before it could even realise.

a few things: - This is the perfect moment to hear the song Goodbye Nostalgia, is part of an anthology of songs based on P3 characters made by the composer of said part, this one is Kayoin's song - The range of the world refers to how far The World can move, punch and such from Dio, his timestop doesn't has any range limit, affecting literally everywhere - Check out the entire opening for the next eps

Alicia, if you can, look up 'Goodbye Nostalgia'. It's Kakyoin's character theme that while official was never used in the show itself. Riverdude made a very good AMV of the english lyric version.

First off dio seems to be flying in this which I have to say: he's not he repels himself with his stand like a fucking human pinball machine. Second ant while the silver bullet sniper rifle might work in most cases of vampires in fiction (anime being no exception as seen in hellsing) DIO is not a vampire as in a demonic being like Dracula, the stone mask eliminates all of the human body and brains limitation but as a trade off they die in sunlight. Basically DIO being a vampire is more of a biological change rather than him turning into a unholy demon of the night making him pruly immune to all menthods of normal vampire killing (as seen in part 1 he crushed the I belive silver but might have been normal iron cross of the mother he fed her baby to) except sunlight and hamon.

Finally! Your gonna see one of the best battles in Anime.

Now is not the time for tears. Be like Jotaro, get pissed and think of beating the shit out of Dio. 😡👊👊👊👊👊👊👊

So, to be clear because the anime made it look that way, but in the manga os very clear. No one is flying ever there, just the stand kicking really hard to boost them up in the air with high jumps

And now, you can understaqnd how stupidly petty the scene of Polnareff climbing stairs and still being at the bottom TRULY is.

Always love that "Oh ho! Then come as close as you like!"

Oh? You're approaching me? Instead of running away, you're coming right to me? Even though your grandfather, Joseph, told you the secret of The World, like an exam student scrambling to finish the problems on an exam until the last moments before the chime?

I actually never noticed, you see Dio about to kick Kakyoin after he punched a hole through him. I always thought Kakyoin getting launched was just from the punch. That's another level of disrespect.

I'll warn you in advance. According to narration from the manga, the entire fight between Jotaro and DIO (i.e., from the end of this episode to the end of the fight) takes place over three minutes, not accounting for time-stop. Three minutes.

Before the last episodes come, here's the reasoning behind how Dio and jotaro are doing DBZ bullshit: Their respective stands can pick them up and throw them. They can do this several times.

Jotaro vs DIO is my favorite fight in the entire series between my favorite JoJo and my favorite Villain

21:10 head pats for mama bean, joseph will be fine

So Dios stand was originally supposed to have all the previous users they fought powers as well, cause, you know, the world and all. Ariki thought that it was too OP and dialed it back to just one. Imagine fighting something with like 20+ abilities and time stop. lmao Oh also to get a good giggle think back to Polnareff on the stairs. Dio had to run down reset the man and then run back each time to the top.

the phrase "our favorite nazi" is wild XD

17 years of loneliness. 45 days of friendship. 5 days of brotherhood.
