I don’t understand why people would skip parts 1 and 2, they’re so good in my opinion

kira get ran over by the ambulance is perfect in more ways than you mentioned. Not only is it because of his sheer bad luck, but Kira is a character who lived his whole life trying to stay as hidden and unseen as possible, and it's due to the fact that the driver didn't see him at all that he perished. Pure dramatic irony.

Im so baffled by the one where the guy dislikes the strange things that happen in JJBA, like its literally called JoJo's *Bizarre* Adventure, not JoJo's Normal Adventure

I'm still not over the dude saying Valentine isn't evil. I was already wondering "did this guy even read part 7?" before the reveal that he didn't.

It amazes me that people say they don't watch part 1 because "it will surely be horribly boring". Bro, it's just an introductory nine episode arc, not a whole Toei anime 😅

I never thought I’d hear HB say “gay love child” but here we are

The hot take on Valentine killed me. Some people really just engage with fiction thru memes and viral posts alone, and it really shows.

Another thing about Diavolo's death: he's implied to be supernatural since birth. He was born with supposedly unexisting father from a pregnancy that lasted 2 years, and lived in a body as a secondary personality. Also he killed his own mother, his girlfriend, and tried to kill his daughter, burned a village in his youth, made the biggest criminal organization in Italy which sells drugs to anyone including children and is named after the devil himself. I would never be confident enough to say he doesn't deserve to be inprisoned in eternal torture, something that could be called "hell". He is purposefully created as this extremely mysterious character with vague origins, he might as well be something completely differemt from a normal human being, much worse then we think.

To add to what you said about Sleeping Slaves, I think that Bucciarati choosing to continue living and staying on his path despite knowing that he is going to die recontexualizes his actions for the entire part. Hes a hero, he could've taken the easy road and died peacefully.

Diavolo probably deserved the "Infinite Loop" punishment, but we all should agree Ciocolatta deserved it FAR more

Another cool thing about Kira getting run over by the ambulance is that for the guy that always wanted to live a normal life, his death is one of the most ordinary things that could happen to someone.

mfs be fine watching 1100 one piece episodes but get mad when they need to watch 9 episodes to understand the basic of jojo (nothing against one piece I am at episode 1007)

I love the Clamp manga, but it's a shame it's the only well-known JoJo-fanfic. For example, the doujin "Until We rest eternally" (showing what would have happened if Jonathan became a vampire and not Dio) is beautiful love letter to the classical JoJo era

I’m so disappointed that part 6 had such a troubled anime production because it needed a good anime to increase its standing in the community the most

I feel like a lot of people who overglorify Valentine seem to miss the entire point of Johnny's gun test at the end of their fight. Johnny essentially called Valentine on his bluff. That, if he really believed all of the patriotic, help my nation rhetoric he spews, he could pick up the gun without any tricks or betrayals, that he would let another version of Gyro and himself live in peace. And Valentine couldn't even manage that. Because for all of his bluster about his patriotism, about his love for his country, he is on top of that a self absorbed, deluded narcisist. He doesn't just want the corpse to protect his nation, he wants it to have his nation (and by extension, himself) be seen as the peak of the world. And he doesn't care how many people have to die for that to be accomplished. Letting Johnny and Gyro live would be meaning he failed, he lost, that he had to give up something. And his ego won't allow that. All of his talk was just that...talk. Talk he uses to continuously justify his increasingly unjustifiable, monsterous actions.

That one guy's take about Dr. Who frustrates me on a fundamental level. The 2005 reboot was specifically written TO BE an entry point for new viewers. By that point in time, the last primary Dr. Who media to exist was a TV movie from 10 years ago that was not critically well received, and the last thing before that was when the original run of the show was cancelled in 1989. The show had been off the air for almost two decades. For all that most fans were concerned, Dr. Who was cancelled before the 2005 series came out. A good portion of fans who were just getting into Dr. Who through the reboot were not even born during the Seventh or Eighth Doctor's runs. New Who was written specifically to be both a soft reboot for older fans to see how the story continued after the original run's cancellation, and also an original story for new fans to jump into without feeling the need to be caught up on 30 years worth of British sci-fi. New Who re-introduces elements from the original series in a well-paced way that is a fun reference if you know what it is, but also basically expects that 80% of the audience has never seen it before. For instance, there's a single episode that brings back one of the Doctor's old companions from the 70's, as well as having a bunch of other references and cameos from that era. If you've seen the Fourth Doctor's run, its a huge fanservice fest. If you haven't, the show is just like "Oh, this is a girl the Doctor used to know a long time ago. Don't worry about it." and it works. Compare this to SBR, which began publication less than 11 months after the end of Stone Ocean. It is reasonable to believe that most people who perhaps started getting into JoJo through SBR, through a Jump subscription for example, were at least aware of the series at that point, and may have even known someone reading it up to that point, since it had only been on hiatus for about a year. Dr. Who is also a show in which it heavily incentivizes skipping parts. Whenever a new fan asks where to start with Dr. Who, the most common answer I hear is "Start with the 2005 series". But some people even say "Start with whoever the newest Doctor is." and I can't say I entirely disagree with either of those suggestions. When it comes to New Who, as long as you're starting from a certain showrunner's first story, you'll be fine. Nobody tells you to go back and start with William Hartnell and watch every episode meticulously in order. Dr. Who stories are very episodic. Sure, most episodes are part of a three-to-seven-episode-long arc, but most of those arcs are standalone. I've even heard some people say to start with the 2005 series, and if you start to get bored and wanna see something different partway through to just go back and watch a story or two from Tom Baker's run. And I don't hate that idea either. I hear people all the time say "Oh, you can skip Part X, because Part Y doesn't spoil anything from that part", as if "spoilers" are the only thing holding someone back from reading a story in the order it was written. Like, as a Halo fan, yeah, Halo Reach doesn't spoil the trilogy or anything, but if you're interested in the plot, you should play the trilogy first. JoJo is the same way. While Part 7 might not spoil Part 6, and Part 6 might not spoil Part 5, and Part 5 might not spoil Part 4, you miss the natural evolution of themes throughout the series. By Part 7, JoJo really becomes a theological thinkpiece about humanity's role in the universe, and how mathematics affect nature, and the value of a human soul, and how fate defines our actions. That stuff is all hinted at as early as Part 4 (honestly as early as Part 1 if you're paying attention), before it really doubles down in Part 5. Part 6 really takes those ideas hammers them home before I feel that it truly bears fruit in Part 7. Sure, you CAN skip to Part 7 and not be confused as to what's going on, or have major plot revelations from the first 6 Parts spoiled, but it's much more satisfying to see it happen naturally. In a semi-recent Scott the Woz video on his side channel, his friend is explaining the plot of Phantom Blood to him, and Scott asks if it's jarring to go from a series about Victorian-era vampires to "Bugs Bunny" (referencing Bohemian Rhapsody, and how at the time the vide was recorded, many fans thought that the anime would substitute Bugs Bunny instead of Mickey Mouse for legal reasons). His friend says 'no', because it's such a natural progression you don't even think about it. That is now my biggest example as to why one should not skip parts in JoJo.

Say what you want about Phantom Blood, but you can't deny that, of all the parts, this is the one that has the best chance of being adapted into live action without becoming a Dragon Ball Evolution 2.0.

Recently I wanted to draw Morioh's sky so I looked into it and I realized how much thought went into it. The fact that it's not just yellow but clear yemlow at the morning, strong or more brownish yellow at the evening, blue but with golden clouds at the sunset, and purple and dark at night. It's genuinely so interesting. That together with the blue and purple plants bushes and trees really made Morioh felt so unique thanks to the artistic direction

The take at 22:11 sounds like it was written by Valentine himself 💀💀💀

The way you cut out part of that Funny Valentine comment and then revealed that he had never read it is hilarious- I genuinely thought that was someone who had read it. Funny Valentine is a great villain, but I can’t believe people defend him as a good guy. That’s WILD and really shows that people are suppressing memories about the more disturbing parts, especially the Lucy bit

I'm such a part 4 fan boy, but I love the different sky colors. It makes the small town feel more isolated and away from anything outside. Part 4 is in a crazy, noisy, bizarre town (hahah) and everything takes place in the town. They aren't thinking about stuff outside of it, they are dealing with Kira, someone who also refuses to leave his life in the town. It's as if it's its own little world and I love it since I'm a fan of small town murder mystery style stories. Also Chase has always been my favorite opening.

My hot take is that killer queen is the most cutest and terrifying stand of all time like look at that cute kitten

I realize I’m just regurgitating what was already said in the video, but Jesus Christ, it truly is insane the sheer amount of comments I’ve seen of people genuinely believing that Valentine isn’t actually a bad person. Every conversation I’ve seen that involves him, no matter what platform it’s being discussed on, there’s always at least one guy coming up with some crazy mental gymnastics to excuse his actions or somehow wrap his character all up as a good person and that Johnny is actually the bad guy, and I know they aren’t trolling or rage-baiting because half of the time they’re getting positive feedback or upvotes for it. I know we all love to poke fun and laugh at the low-hanging-fruit that is the “Jojo fans can’t read” stuff, but this is genuinely concerning.

As a Doctor Who fan who started with the 2005 series quite recently in fact I completely agree with your analysis and want to add my own two cents. The main difference between Steel Ball Run and the 2005 Series is that the latter was specifically written as a Reboot meant to reintroduce Doctor Who to a new audience after a decades long hiatus. The show also adds intrigue for returning viewers by changing up the established status quo in a significant way. SBR doesn't do that and as you pointed out actually builts heavily on the concepts introduced in the previous parts. The only reason people mistake it for a Reboot is that it features alternative characters based on Part 1. The Part I would compare the most to Series 1 of NuWho is ironically Part 3 since it builds up on Part 1+2 while also shaking up the status quo by introducing Stands into the series.

Would be cool to make a video regarding the connection between (almost)every stand and user. While for some stand users it’s not elaborated on how the stand fits them, but part 3 with tarots and part 5 especially really make them intertwined(purple haze represents fugo’s rage and perfectionism, narancia’s aerosmith represents his childlike behavior…)

I didn't even notice that the sky in part 4 wasn't blue, impressive

I think a lot of people fail to understand the meaning behind gyro's sacrifice for the child and write off his character as a whole simply because the child is stated to have died later on. It's the fact that gyro gave the child the opportunity to live and ultimately die as a free man. Too many times do I see people cursing Araki for being a bad writer over this just because the meaning behind it flies over their heads.

21:43 I think this is a big factor in people not understanding/liking Part 6. Too many “fans” treat it just as a stepping stone to get to the “good part”

I love how Kira is both relatable in how human he when he's fearing to get caught and at the same time can be an extremely menacing villain. That's an amazing combination

I never understood why people hated on Chase OP, loved it the moment I heard it

The take at 21:30 is so true. Part 7 is an amazing part, and i love it to death, but people act like it invalidates every other part in the series and hype it up too much. When i first read it with the expectation that it was so amazing, it would blow every part out of the water, i came out of it a little disappointed. But when i reread it without those sentiments/expectations, i enjoyed it a lot more. I also feel like this thought process applies to other parts, too, since some parts have this occur in the opposite way where people blindly rush through them to get to another, "better", part. (Part 1 and 6 being the standout examples)

we live in a world where "funny valentine was kind of a good guy" people can vote.....

I consider Pucci's and Weather's backstory to be the best backstory ever told in Jojo's. The dynamic and tragedy, as well as the conclusion to both characters absolutely flawless writing and think it's one of the best segments/arcs in Jojo.

Phantom Blood got me so hooked when I first watched it. By the way, the last chapter of the Phantom Blood manga may be one of the best last chapters to any shonen I've seen. I love it from the chapter cover to the beautiful last page

I'm afraid as time goes on and the newer generations discover jojo, these blatant and obscenely confident misunderstandings will become more common. Especially considering how the average attention span keeps plummeting to inconceivable depths.

"Hamon Beat Trashes your garbage JoJo opinion" has got to be one of my favorite genres on youtube. Keep it up

I always love when people say "Tooru didn't have enough of a presence in jojolion" Hes a rock human. Of course he didn't.

Of... of course the stands in Stone Ocean were extra insane, *it was the end. You finish a story with a bang.* And honestly I always saw the part as Araki's take on a biblical apocalypse where the end of the world is preceded by a long string of surreal cataclysms, something that stands are just perfect for.

People don't get that dealing drugs are also much worse crime considered In Japan. Judgenent Actor was replaced after he showed to take drugs.

Man idk why but Jonathan's theme feels just like a spider-man theme. It has that heroic feeling, the sense of loss, tough will and most importantly its there blessing and curse because one is a Joestar and other one is Spider-man.. damnn

2:55 I feel like it also goes down to simplicity of the words. For most people Ripple is a harder word to use and remember than Hamon and for a lot of non-native speakers, both words are likely meaningless. When it comes to Kaiten and Spin - it's other way around. Spin is easier to pronounce and remember and it's also a much more common word. Being released at different times and different (fan)-translation styles - also probably affected it. 4:50 We had few stand users that would be nice as Hamon users, mostly due to the nature of their stands. Like Dragon's Den for me feels like a logical example, where stand isn't necessarily the main power of its user. We also had few other stand users, whose power was more area/effect based or who had drone-stands - not necessarily actively offensive. I mean, we kinda got that in part 7 tbh. Spin is a similar concept to Hamon and for many users - it's a secondary power or a power that buffed their stand abilities. We could have more stand users that fought alongside their own stand. Or stand users with more non-combative, but useful abilities that could fight by themselves when needed.

I think in addition to what you said about Kira's death, it ties into him wanting to live a quiet life, which he's stated as one of his primary motivations. As such, he's given one of the most common causes of death: a car accident

Honestly I can’t really think of a better thing for Dio to attack Jotaro with at that point in the fight other than the steamroller. Not only is it a great reveal, but I think it perfectly fits Dio’s over the top nature, it’s an awesome “fuck you” to Jotaro, and is honestly a good strategy on his part. Hit Jotaro with something so crazy, it’s harder for him to react to what, in Dio’s mind, would be the killing blow.

I wanted giorno and josuke to appear during the part 6 ending, but as cameos with them watching the events of Made if Heaven from their point of view with the audience only being able to see their backs while they look up to the sky or something like that.

It's honestly haunting to see how many people find Funny Valentine's actions just. It is true that there is nothing evil about wanting prosperity for people, but Valentine wants prosperity for *his* people. He does not care if their happiness goes beyond what is fair and is at the expense of others. In fact, it sometimes seems that Valentine *prefers* it be at the expense of others, as that would make the United States the greatest country. In short, his ideology is a cautionary tale of national pride gone too far, and a failure to see that suggests a blindness to the evil that pride can bring.

People saying that Funny Valentine is not evil says a lot about their perspective on morality and sexual consent Edit: My god, the replies are just unbelievably disgusting. And worst of all, y'all are just proving my point. These people should really touch some grass and get some therapy

We now live in a world where one can argue the musicals are the superior adaptations. What a time to be alive...

i actually love part 6 to death but my only complaint is that i wanted to see more of weather report because his character and stand was so cool genuinely

My hot take: Bohemian rhapsody is the most underrated arc in the entire franchise

I always respected part 1 for being "the start" but only recently did I appreciate its vibe, it's a very traditional hero's journey but told in a very confident and unique way. I love Jonathan's chivalry, Dio's unrepentant evil, Speedwagon's development, Zeppeli's batshit crazyness... and the ending is a real tear jerker.

10:08 people didn’t like Chase because it sounded more like an anime opening from a completely different series like Bleach or Naruto rather then a JOJO OP. I’ve even remember some saying it sounded more like an SAO Op then a jojo op lol (sao was the punching bag of the community back then 😂)

nah that guy talking about how valentine is actually is good guy just to say he hasn't read it is absolutely diabolical

skipping past part 1 and 2 because they're " boring " so you can watch PART THREE is actually insane

Hot take: Stone Ocean isn't bad

I honestly love this style of content, it feels like we get to have a kind of conversation/active discussion with you as a community around this series that we all love.

I really like this style of video with you sharing you opinion on takes of the public. Would not mind at all if this becomes a series

i dont understand how anyone could think part 1 is boring and unwatchable and be able to sit through the hell that is part 3 until dios mansion

People just don't like part 1 because it's the most tragic and serious part and most people just watch JoJo for the memes. Not saying part 1 doesn't have the trademark bizarreness and some funny moments but it had way less of it than say, Part 3 or Part 4.

I love how you always organize the video by part so I can stop your video and come back when I've caught up. I did that for every part so far lmao

It was so fun to hear your thoughts on these! Very much looking forward to a part two.

jojo fans are the type of people who watch the main villain: 1. Sell drugs to children 2. Order Chiocollata to kill Gelato e Sorbet in probably the most gruesome and brutal way possible 3. Attempt to kill his own daughter solely to keep his indentity safe 4. Kill Bruno Bucciarati (which is later "revived" by Giorno's power and his own will, but ultimately deteriorates as the part progresses until his death) 5. Kill Abbachio (Fr this time) 6. Severely debilitate Polnareff and cut any contact he could have with Jotaro 7. Kill Narancia (also fr) 8. Be the main reason on why Doppio's life was "bad" and the they get mad when he gets punished.

What i learn about these "hot takes" are that jojo fans can't read

i did not sign up to hear hamon beat say "Gay Love Child" when clicking on this video

I like this new video idea a lot - I love hearing you talk and it's fun having you address more subjective matters along with the usual topics!

Now give us cold takes 🗣️

(20:09 20:53) I would like to mention that, as someone who actively watches Kamen Rider, each season is very much a completely separate thing. While you could absolutely start with the original Kamen Rider show, starting from any of the other series is completely fine as well. And even with crossovers and extra media, they often have debatable canonicity to the series involved.

Keep making these kinds of videos they are a joy to watch!

This video was informative and super fun! This seems like it would be a good series

One of the most confusing things to me that people who are getting into the series say to me is that they do not care about Caesar's death in part 2, and I wanted to express that this video covers exactly why I think it's one of the best in the series. With the overall themes being a celebration of humanity, I feel like Caesar has always perfectly embodied that theme in his final moments (I mean he quite literally talks about the human spirit in his whole monologue) People say that Caesars death isn't impactful because we only know him for a few episodes, but I have always strongly disagreed. In general, I think death in JoJo is by far one of the strongest points of the series overall. Every major death to me (in the cast of heroes) is extremely well executed, impactful, and feels so important and meaningful to the overall story and advancement of its plot and themes.

I wonder if American fans don't see Valentine as a good guy because his actions are to benefit America. In another wording, they might be more inclined to find him evil if he was Japanese or German or British. The ultimate irony of that comment is that Valentine and Toru essentially have the same goal: ultimate prosperity for their people at the expense of all others, and yet the comment praises Valentine while scorning Toru.

Kira's ironic death is twofold. He desired more than anything to go unnoticed and in the end, the ambulance driver didn't notice him until too late xD

another thing just to add to the kira's death one, his whole goal was to live a quiet life. so it's pretty fitting that his death is mundane, simple, one of the most common possible ways to die, rather than getting bombastically finished off in a stand fight

Part 6 is so experimental with it's abilities and I love that about it. It does make the actual quality of some of the stands (for my taste) very hit and miss, some of my absolute favorites stand fights are in that part as well as the ones I can't stand at all being in the same part. Though, all the parts have weaker encounters and the overall story and character arcs are some of my favorite. Part 4 is my favorite part but Jolyne is my favorite JoJo.

Thinking that funny valentine is a good guy despite his evil actions, is kinda funny and sad cause tbh this very realistic towards real people

I really like this as a series, I would love if you continued with more videos like these!

I love people saying Valentine is a good character and not as evil as the other antagonist in the series, that just shows how they were coerced by his speech, forgotting everything he did before just as the other characters in steel ball run

I can’t explain how absolutely cathartic it is to hear someone point out the definitive fact that, yes actually, Valentine IS VERY EVIL. This particular opinion has always been especially concerning to me when you apply the way these people look at him to real-life politicians. But even without bringing it into real life, it’s patently ridiculous to think that the man who wants to redirect all misfortune onto the rest of the world for the sole benefit of his own country (and by virtue of being the president of that country, himself) is a good person, even if you somehow ignore all of the murder and SA and other flat out evil stuff he does that just can’t be justified. What a reveal it is to see that guy never even read Part 7 too, lmao. You can’t make this shit up.

I liked a lot of the stand fights in part 6 for their insane scale and power, but I would say that in general stand abilities being used in fights were the best in part 5. That part in my opinion has better stand fights than part 6 and part 7, with just how insane they get. No part better utilizes the concept of having multiple stand users fight and have their abilities clash in unique ways.

Legit so happy you have the same opinion as I do about part 1, that's so awesome to hear someone with the same take, everyone who I personally have met are not really into the first part at all ☹️

please keep making these!! i loved this :)

people just assume funny valentine is a good character (in a moral sense) because he is a satire of the american imperialism, and the american people already fall for the US propaganda

The people who think Valentine is 'good', just because he wanted prosperity for one country, should just start worshipping Pucci as the second coming of the christ, because he wanted DIO's 'Heaven plan' to benefit the entire humanity.

Dude straight up, I have so many people telling me they skip or dislike Part 1 and I'm totally with you on this one

Hell yeah! part 1 appreciation!! i love part 1 for what it is and people are so unfair comparing it to parts that araki wrote like 20 years later lmao

Part 6 is one of the best parts, full stop

3:00 do you think that SBR subs (when the anime comes out) will sub the power as 'Kaiten', making the community call if that instead of Spin?

Love this format man. Keep up the good work

A hot take stemming from the CLAMP take, I think Jolyne’s stand ability being somewhat of a fusion between Star Platinum and Hierophant Green and that it’s specifically stated to smell like soap (which Jota’s stand is named after) is Araki’s way of making Jolyne directly relatable to female Jojo fans but as a way of almost canonizing Jota. It’s part of why I love Araki’s freedom in new writers adding to the JoJo canon nowadays, and part of why I love Jolyne (and why Jodio is ranking really high too)

8:08, I have a love/hate relationship with this art-style, on a one hand; it can make characters look really pretty or on the other hand; it can make them look like toothpick.

the color scheme in part 4 is absolutely amazing and it truly makes morioh feel like morioh, giving part 4 a different mood compared to the other parts, I wish they did something like that with jojolion knowing that it also takes place in another version of morioh

I love that communities have a guiding voice when it comes to explaining stuff/lore Fromsoft has vaatividya And jojo has The goat Hamon Beat keep the content up bro love your vids

Love the hot takes, this should definitely be a staple

For Ripple/Hamon vs. Spin/Kaiten one thing that could distinguish them is their respective in-series origins. Hamon is introduced to us as a rather "Eastern" style, with its roots (that we're given through Zeppeli) being traced to India and it being a breath technique which is more aligned with Oriental philosophy, while Spin is specifically a technique of "Western" influence through Italy and Western concepts like the exploration of the Golden Ratio that was done most primarily by European academics. I mean, it's not really a hard and fast because under that logic Hamon would be using a Hindi or Sanskrit term and Spin would be using Italian or Latin but that the sort of "East-West vibe" can subtly nudge people to using one of the two generally recognized terms more.

From these hot takes I now realise that most people just do not appreciate "kino". They don't even know what it is even if it hit them in the face. Also I feel nuts for not disliking any part now that I hear these takes, it seems everyone has at least one part that they hate very much dislike.

great video, definitely do some more, it opens a lot of opportunity for discussion and it's just interesting to hear more of your opinions

You need to do more of these videos! This was a really fun video! Also cannot understand how anyone could skip Phantom Blood, let alone dislike it

5:36 I'd like to add to the Road Roller thing by pointing out that that DIO using the Road Roller *_actually did have a point_* and it wasn't a completely random thing. In the final fight of Part 3, it became a central point that Jotaro needs to get in close enough to DIO to obliterate him with Star Platinum's punches. However, DIO was strategically countering him using The World's powerful punches, the Time Stop, and long-range throwing knives. So the Road Roller is actually a way for DIO to avoid Star Platinum's range while still launching his own powerful attack at the same time. Note that it was legitimately a good enough attack that Jotaro could only escape/counter it by doing his own Time Stop, which DIO couldn't possibly have predicted. 13:15 And yes, Diavolo's fate is indeed justified. Yes, characters like Cioccolata are probably worse, but *1)* that doesn't change the fact that Diavolo nonetheless still deserved (just because his crimes arent' as extreme doesn't mean that he doesn't deserve the death loop). And *2)* unlike those other horrible villains in the series, GER's death loop was one of the only things that could _ACTUALLY STOP_ Diavolo. Araki himself explained that King Crimson is such an overpowered Stand with its ability to avoid Fate that only something that constantly rewinds and nullifies continued actions (AKA a loop with no room for continuation) could reliably defeat Diavolo. It was a mix of Diavolo very much deserving it, as well as being the only feasible way for the characters to actually take him down for good.

It’s insane how bad so many jojo fans are at actually understanding what they’re reading. Especially with the part 6 stuff

I like that we got to see the absolute peak of what Hamon can do, at least briefly, and then it takes a huge back seat for the rest of the story

What a wonderful day a hamon beat vid!
