He just wanted an endless summer vacation for himself and his family. He was simultaneously one of the most mature and immature characters.

Theres been so many bad and absent fathers in JoJo. But Araki balanced it all out by giving us two really great and heavily involved dads in JoJolion, Jobin and Norisuke

Jobin Higashikata A man who climbed all the way to the top just to hit rock bottom

One of my favorite Jojolion characters, he just wants to live freely and get that bread. Everyday is a summer vacation

Jobin truly is the master of trades: If you win: You get to keep my expensive lambo, that you probably will never use and will get it stuck on a tree top If I win: I get to lick your eyeball

As I was reading it monthly, I had felt like Jobin's story ended too abruptly but after listening to this, it was pretty appropriate especially considering it happened right after knocking out Norisuke. That said, I do still wish we could've gotten a 2nd battle between him and Josuke if only to see more of speed king and seeing how soft and wet could've dealt with its "heat mines"

I've been thinking about this for a while, but i wonder if Jobin killing a hornet using his beetle, only for the hornet's venom to end up poisoning the beetle and leading to him losing the beetle tendency arc was some really subtle foreshadowing

The song King Nothing makes a lot more sense in the story when you view it through the lens of Jobin

Despite being the villain, part of me had been rooting for Jobin when he got his hands on the New Rokakaka. Yes, he was against Josuke, but in contrast with the Rock Humans' sociopathic motives of controlling society, Jobin just wanted his family's happiness to never end and for Tsurugi to live. Much like Josuke was fighting for Holly to live. And even as a villain, he's vulnerable and is scared and this shows when Kaato has to give him that pep talk about fighting for his family, before the [Wonder of U] arc. And I couldn't hate him, as he was hurting from this three-way war tremendously. And I have to agree on the "quiet strength" part of his characterization. [Speed King] has to be one of the least flashy enemy Stands ever, its attacks subtle, precise and ironically chilling.

Time to raise a platter of Inca no mezame potatoes in memory for Jobin.

Kira: Hands Valentine: 14 year old married girl Jobin: Nose

As it turns out, Jobin couldn’t handle the heat.

"It just was one that he would never get to see" That made me cry

I still do wish we got a true stand fight between Jobin and Gappy, but all in all Jobin is one of my favorite jojo characters in general. His introduction in Every Day Is Summer Vacation was a perfect way to introduce his character and how far he goes to get to his goals. Him killing the super expensive beetle is a perfect look into his psyche, I instantly knew how far he would go to win.

He is the definition of “don’t tell your mom”

I was only expecting jobin to be the final bad guy for most of the part especially when they fully explained the stands abilities. It just seemed so similar to Killer Queen.

Spoilers for the end of Jojolion bruh Jobin is one of my favorite JoJo antagonists. I love everything about him except for his sudden and unceremonious death. But it’s also kinda poetic. In his selfishness and ruthlessness he accidentally destroyed his own family even though he had good intentions for them. Possibly, misguided good intentions often lead to the biggest harm.

Best Jojo character. Really liked how he served as a foil for Josuke and really has such a memorable personality.

Jobin Hit so many spots for me, he reminded me of my uncle (both appear to have and not have their life together at the same time). I loved how jovial he was, his references were super touching cause I myself love making references to get a nice laugh or feel of nostalgia. His backstory tore my brain in two as It made me realize what his mother did for him and how great of a mother is, along with coinciding my malicious thoughts that certain people in this world are better off dead (especially if it would mean the life of a loved one).He was the only other male in the Higashikata household with a close range stand that could deal serious damage (shout out to joshu), (which gives me hope for a video game appearance, but its just hope), which only made me more fascinated with him as a character. Araki has this wonderful ability to make all my favorite characters fucking die, and Ive taking it at this point as a seal of approval in my mind of how good the character is.

Jobin also kind of feels like old world Kira with how he didn't want to stand out and wanted an ideal life all the while doing illegal things. On top of that, when speed king attacks with his heat it reminds me of when Kira would blow someone up with how they bubble up

Do you think Jobin listens to “the Beatles”?

Joubin Higashikata= Best character

I hope at some point he does a video looking at Tooru and the whole flow of calamity

I really do wish he was the final villain of this part the climax would’ve been so cool also He became one of my favorite JoJo characters he’s so cool and his Character moments are great

I can't wait meti's deep analysis of Tooru and Kaato & probably the guardrail and other rock insects.

Jobin Higashikata is like the walter white of the family

man i was expecting jobin to be the last antagonist, just like diego in SBR

speed kings design gotta be one of the scariest looking stands

One thing I dislike about JoJolion is how Jobin died, it's almost like the Hot Pants treatment but her's was worse *cough cough some of us not realizing she died until chapters later*

I can’t pay attention to anything with the no more heroes theme in the background. I am suddenly and violently possessed by the urge to go play the games ASAP

Am I the only one hoping for part 8 stand stats

I was waiting for thissss he is so under appreciated in my opinion

Speed King in a lot of ways feels like a sequel to Purple Haze with a fabulous new identity.

Easily my favorite character in all of jojolion

Great. Honestly, I've been waiting for this.

Thank u for making this vid I was waiting for good video on jobin my favourite character from jojolion

Let's go finally an analysis of my favorite character in jojolion! Really loved the way Araki handled jobin in the story

This video made me appreciate Jobin a lot more, good vid

This is my favourite JoJolion Character and I am super happy that you did this vid. Like me a huuuuuge fan

Yay! Finally a video giving an in depth analysis on Jobin!

I really appreciate the adult swim bumper style to all your intros. Just a thing i really like about your videos.

Meti videos slap different. I have been enlightened. Joubin has been solved. Thank you Meti!

finally he's getting the recognization he deserves

i like how you used "heat in your heart" not only because his stand uses heat. but maybe because no more heroes 3 came out today

Great video, Jobin is really one of the stand outs of Jojolion. Seeing Kongo sensei for a bit in this video, makes me want esays about Land of the Lustrous too. I'm waiting for the Shaman King videos too!

Love the insight, thank you!

Man I haven’t even read any of part 8 but I love this dude

My headcannon for stand design changes is that, as characters mature, their stand changes, as stands ARE a reflection of their user"s inner nature

I've been waiting on this one

So glad araki used a brazillian guy as a big characters name reference

Absolutely amazing video, jobin is the goat

jojolion and deep purple... Man... I am SO lucky i saw Deep purple when I was 18....in 2004. they were ancient then, but it was a cool as heck show!

Mannnn, you put the No More Heroes theme behind the video, and now I could definitely see Travis Touchdown in Jojos😭

Jobin really reminds me of Rufus Shinra, as a character who isn’t really the main antagonist, but instead is more of a secondary consistently present threat with the same goal as the heroes and is also opposing the true main villain

I cant wait for jobins death to be animated so we can put "The Wonder of You" over it. Even in the manga its such a beautifully choreographed sequence.

"Those who stand out become subject to the flow of calamity"

Fantastic video! However, I do feel like you skipped out on digging deeper on the musical influence of his character in regards to the song Speed King itself. Like Highway Star, it is a fast-paced song that eventually ends in a violent crash. And with the song Highway Star essentially being a second try at a song like Speed King, it makes Jobin the second attempt by Araki to create a character like Yuya, somebody whose speed and ambition would eventually lead to their downfall. Plus, while both songs have a fast pace, Speed King (the stand and song) is slower than Highway Star, making the fact that Jobin’s arc lasts near the entirety of Jojolion make even more sense. God this character is so fun to dig into. Araki went hard with this guy.

He’s back to making JoJo content!

Probably one of my favorite Jojo characters wish he got more

Dude that background music. I just got into no more heros a few days ago.

Just finished jojolion today and the last parts got me crying for some reason .

Jobin is hands-down my favorite Jojolion character and maybe minor-antagonist.

Your great my guy

Nice music choice, No More Heroes is great.

Should probably mention the parallels with Josuke and their parental figures - whereas Josuke finally accepts his identity and embraces Holly's dying body vowing to save her, Jobin defies the circumstances of his life so much that he ends up causing his father to die, embracing him in pain. That moment was probably what sealed his fate. Jobin has definitely become one of my favourite characters in the whole series just due to the sheer amount of layers Araki put into him, he's not as flashy a character as other villains in this universe like Diego or Valentine but he's just as amazingly written. Not to mention him fully maturing and using Speed King in the same way Kira did in part 4 (Speed King already touched that phone) is another sick parallel. Ironic that what he did to Ojiro, Tooru ended up doing to him.

Jobin shows how much the single minded goal to success leads to unintended consequences

As a brazilian myself, i had no clue that Jobin would ever be a reference to something or someone brazilian, that's nice :>

One of the best characters, taken from us too soon

BTW Meti, you're right about Araki needing a reference for SK. He did this halfway after making like 15 different designs for him halfway through his screentime

3:45 We get a full body for Speed King on Volume 22 and the spine of Volume 25 though :0

Summer Vacation is the hottest time of the year, so Jobin encapsulates that aspect in his Stand’s power

METI.... You are using No More Heroes music on today of all days??? I knew you had good taste but god damn you keep on surprising me. RANCE?? NMH??? Unbelievable.

Glory of Tooru when

great video! maybe some tooru analysis next time?

I like to believe that Jobin is the true main villain and Tooru is like Diego Brando :))

nice video i give it a 9/10. good good

Speed King is like a reverse Sky High.

Audio levels were all over the place. Interlude music earraped me and the voiceover right after is comically less loud.

My fav jojo character

Jobin is a perfect mix of kaato and norisukes good aspects even if he's a big man child.

Meti won’t rest until Shimoneta gets a second, third, fourth, and fifth season

Jobin gang

Best Jojolion character hands down

I just love him in general

Cheers, to Jobin. The first actually unceromonious death in jojo.

I’m a simple man, I see jojo content, I click

My favorite character :)

Finally my boy gets some love

Please do “The Glory of Travis Touchdown”

HOW MANY DAMNS TIMES METI OBANAI IGURO FOR THE LOVE OF GOTH THIGHS

the shimoneta joke was EXTRA GOOD this episode

I'm sad he won't be able to meet his second child😞 But he'll be watching over them though

If he were the main villain, I would proudly put him on top of my favourite JoJo main villains list. Even above the beloved 23rd President.

"I cheerish peace with all my heart."

I’ve never clicked a video so fast before

My Fav character 🥺

I miss joubin

TFW you thought Jobin was the main antagonist.

Nature was the main antagonist of Jojolion all along.

Jobin's death would've been 10 times better if Araki had made it clear he died As much as the attack was brutal and realistically would kill anyone, JoJo has had characters face much more brutal and instant killing injuries and be completely fine afterwards. Hell, in this same Part, Mamezuku gets multiple holes blown through him, including one directly through his brain and still wasn't dead until a bit afterwards. I feel like Araki leaned a bit too far away from the characters reactions during deaths to try keep the action flowing but in doing so, literally every major character death felt very sudden and off putting. We got no solid confirmation that Jobin was dead for like a year and just that one extra line or scene he could've added of the family freaking the fuck out about Jobin dying could've easily saved alot of how uncertain and badly paced WoU's introduction and full arc felt. In general, the deaths in Part 8 are really it's most major flaw and if they'd been better written to feel like an actual loss rather than "lmao guess he's dead now on to the next plot development" I don't think JoJolion would've left as sour of a taste in peoples mouths as it has. Hell, solidifying Jobin as dead probably would've made people actually believe Tooru was the main villain a bit more instead of a full year being like "yeah there's probably like 30 or 40 chapters left" and then "whoops it's ending in 2"
