I loved how Iggy's sacrifice also proved Vanilla Ice wrong when he said Iggy didn't have any humanity (ironic coming from a vampire), along with the narrator's note of how even having a stand is a statement to iggy's humanity

I will never understand why such a scary and terrifying character is called Vanilla ice and his black hole stand is called Cream Only Araki can make a guy named like this scary

Despite feeling that Avdol was underutilzed his death was utterly horrifying it was quick and unexpected and Polnareff's reaction to it was even more heart breaking and scary, not only that but Vanilla Ice was also a terrifying villain who was not only immortal but also had an Op stand and was mentally unstable and insane, this battle also developed Polnareff as a character and made me respect him even more as a character

Vanilla legit got more main group casualties on his record than dio

Theres nothing cooler to me, than the comic relief becoming super serious and having a really intense fight

What makes a good joke character is a likeable and just genuine kind of personality, But what makes a amazing joke character is one which offers so much more than what is expected. A character that truly leaves a satisfying and well thought impact on a person.

A thing I love about Polnareff is that after losing Avdol and Iggy he ended up being the only thing that stopped the victory of not only DIO by saving Jotaro’s life but also Diavolo by giving his life to keep the requiem arrow out of Diavolo’s hands and the only reason either of those were possible were because they both looked down on Polnareff like if DIO had just killed him instead of screwing with him on the stairs and had Diavolo made sure he was dead they both would’ve won and that I’m pretty sure makes Polnareff the single most clutch character in Jojo.

i always get made fun of when i say i like polnarreff vs vanilla ice more than jotaro vs dio

Polnareff exudes "supporting character" energy, and his continued survival and character development is just a solid twist. I kind of wish he got more of an epilogue than "he's a turtle now".

Iggy's death is legitimately the only time JJBA's successfully gotten me to cry, and I'm not ashamed to admit that.

Hate him? Bro. He fought so many villains. He has a REALLY iconic stand and appearance. And the funny moments he created in the show was great. There is another reason for me (or maybe everyone): he really suffered. He lost his sister, his friends, and even his body and stand. He really lost everything he loved and thats very sad, plus, if you look at his life, you totally understand that he's not only a clown that gets too much screentime.

I never thought Polneraff was so hated. I love him and he is one of my favorite characters in Jojo.

Cream is a terrifying stand when you think about how it represents paranoia and the fear of the unknown, what will happen in the future is in the dark and you could die at any moment because of the fragilty of life.

For me, the best battle in the whole franchise. Especially if you don't know about it, like it was my case. I didn't see it coming and blew me away. Vanilla Ice is a disturbing villain done right.

Polneraff lost a friend he thought was dead due to his actions in a sudden manner that he can’t even mourn for and for reasons that this time are genuinely outside his control and not his fault this time around. He next loses another friend shortly after in an even more brutal manner. And then another friend is killed in a fight right after this one. Polneraff needs a hug after the hell he’s been through

This fight is the only one that managed to make me cry in Jojo's , it is just amazing.

I like how this depicts how them agreeing to fight Dio means that they are ready to take sacrifices, knowing that some of them aren't going to go back home

Polnareff, when it comes down to it, is just the funny kid in class at home

I feel like people weigh Jotaro's successes too heavily against Polnareff. One of the earliest notions around Polnareff from the moment he changed sides was that the enemies knew absolutely everything about him. They knew his stand and its abilities, they knew about his quest for revenge, and they even knew that he was looking for a place to die. Comparatively, very few of the assassins wanted to fight Jotaro. They knew next to nothing about him. All they knew about Jotaro was that he's strong and fast. By the end, Dio doesn't even know why Jotaro wants him dead. If Dio sent someone to hold Holly hostage, he could have won instantly. The intel difference decided everything.

This whole fight had me sobbing, Iggy's brutal end was... hard to watch. Polnareff just kept losing the people and things he held dear, it was cathartic to see him put such an end to that bastard Vanilla Ice but still, it shouldn't have ended the way it did.

This was undoubtedly the most emotional scene in the whole series

I got the notification and put everything aside to watch this, peak content, keep it up man. Edit: This video… it makes me realise how important Polnareff was to the group and how amazing this fight was, making it shoot up my tier list for JJBA fights

I’m so glad you verbalized how fucking satisfying that neck snapping is, it’s really the cherry on top of the fight

Was for sure hype, pretty satisfying but sad ending

I've said this before, but I personally think Cream should've been the stand that represents the Devil tarot card. Ebony Devil is just.. such a lame stand, and the added symbolism of the Devil conflicting with the Chariot would've made the conflict just that little bit more meaningful.

You could say Polnareff won by melting ice.

This is a fight I think about often. I just love how it’s solved in such a genius way and the emotions. 10/10 fight

Are you gonna do a Most Terrifying Stands episode about Cream? Because it's (in my opinion) pretty goddamn terrifying. It's invisible, can erase you from existence, and its user can't die. (That's more related to Vanilla Ice's vampirism, but still)

In Brazil, we love Polnareff and we say he is the true protagonist of part 3. Which is what he is for reals❤🎉

Easily the best penultimate fight in JoJo’s imo. One of my favorite things about this fight is how terrifying and overpowering Vanilla Ice is with his destructive stand and fierce determination, but despite all that we are constantly reminded how much this guy, Vanilla Ice - a guy who instantly swallows one of the most powerful Stardust Crusaders, a guy who gets stabbed through the brain stem and KEEPS GOING, a guy who is so sadistic that he opts to kick Iggy to death instead of immediately annihilating him - is in DEEP and entirely loyal service to his lord, DIO. It forces you to think “What the hell is DIO capable of that this monstrous stand user is only SECOND to DIO’s power and fear?!” Vanilla Ice is a horrifying threat all his own while also building up his master. Just beautiful stuff.

Shoutout to you for congratulating this fight! One of my favorites too, and imo the most tense in the series

Finally got the time to watch the video, congrats on 100k man:)

Easily a top 5 JoJo fight

You posted at the perfect time, I love to watch your videos while eating and I just sat down to eat when I got the notif

CONGRATS on 100k

Gonna be honest, Polnareff is the kind of person you want in your corner when the going gets tough. He came through multiple times throughout the series and proved himself to be a genuinely valuable companion to the other crusaders, and really helped out Giorno and his friends.

Cool merch and a good video. Today is a good day :D (Also I love the super saturated colors for the anime clips. It looks really nice)

Bro unleashed his inner English teacher on an ACTUALLY deep piece of literature

Polnareff & Iggy vs Vanilla Ice is unironically the best fight in Part 3 by a mile. It felt like both parties were actively trying to kill each other with everything they had, while also exploiting each other's weaknesses. Iggy and Avdol's deaths were also among the saddest moments in the series tbh. And while I would have preferred Avdol to actually have put up a fight, his and Iggy's sacrifice not only allowed Polnareff to win, but it also sold you on the *gravity* of the situation and how scary Dio must be if someone as strong as Vanilla Ice worships him like a god.

upon seeing those panels of polnareff killing vanilla ice, I felt like chariot actually twisted my head as well that's so much power in one single image

5:34 Those edited sound effects are hilarious and brutal. Love it!!!

Finally someone covers my favorite fight of the 8 parts (part 9s not done since i last checked a month or two ago)

The worst thing about vannila ice is he just killed avdol instantly that he doesnt even get a backstory

FINALLY! someone covering my favorite fight in the entire series

How was he a hated character? I always liked him but this fight made me love him. One of the best fights in the entire anime for sure. And don't forget Kakyoin, Jotaro and Joseph were playing videogames while the other half of the team were dying...

man glad someone talk about this fight, my favourite one of part 3 for sure

CONGRATS ON 100K YAYAYA

congrats on 100k

This is my favorite fight in fiction

Polnateff is both the funniest and most tragic character, he really was the heart of the team.

Might be a hot take, but I honestly thought this was the best fight of Stardust Crusaders. I get it that Jotaro vs DIO is pure hype with everything being on the line in that moment and finally seeing DIO in action after all the buildup to finally confronting him, but Vanilla Ice was always just a much more impactful fight to me. The contrast between Polnareff's heroic enthusiasm and willingness to face down the evil looming over him versus Vanilla Ice being so cold and heartless and willing to do anything no matter how evil or absurd for his master DIO. The emotions that run through us as we watch Iggy and Avdol sacrifice themselves to save Polnareff. How on the edge we get watching a hero like Polnareff battle an evil like Vanilla Ice anyone would look at and consider impossible to defeat with such horrifying powers and skills. The satisfying end to the duel and the tearjerking moment where we watch Avdol and Iggy pass on after seeing Polnareff had successfully avenged them. Everything in this battle was just phenomenal and very pure for a battle between good and evil.

That metas hat looks dope, will be sure to get one 👌

love your content man

I started watching ur channel for some time and i enjoy It so in gonna be ur 99.101 sub

Bruh this shit is peak fiction, almost like the gambling dude stand, like almost no hope if the enemy just had an IQ above 80 lol

Nice videos like always

Ngl this was one the fights that brought me to tears. Especially with iggys beat down then down. Polnareff made me proud and I got a new found respect for him

It’s in my opinion one if the most thrilling fight in Jojo’s

I LOVE Vanilla Ice, he is such a dangerous villian, whose defeat relieves you so much, you hate him to the bone, like you hate Homelander. The fight with him showed Polnareff in such a different perspective, even the revenge on J.Geil wasn't so sweet, because we weren't as emotionally attached to Polnareff's sister as we are to Adolf an Iggy

Yo I don’t know what you did to the colors in the anime clips but it looks great

Man it’s actually crazy how I go to JoJo breakdown videos when I’m bored

I had a legit relationship-ending argument over this fight (the whole relationship was a toxic mess, and this was the final nail in the coffin and we were dumb/petty teenagers). She didn't see this fight for what it was, and was genuinely upset that Polnareff survived. She screamed that it was so unrealistic and that any other outcome wouldn't have worked. Needless to say, I disagreed. Over the years after I saw this fight, it slowly cemented itself my favorite fight in all of Part 3, and I will stand by that. Polnareff has always been my favorite Part 3 Character, and this fight reinforces that belief

For the Longest time I’ve always believed that Avdol should have lived and polnareff should have sacrificed himself to show his growth from the sacrifice Avdol made . But recently (and thanks to this video) I’ve come to appreciate this fight and polnareff as a whole since his Character had a much bigger capacity to grow compared to Avdol and iggy. In the end the sacrifices made in this fight and the last fight really drive home the theme of sacrifice echoed in Part 6

Yeah this is easily the most memorable fight in any media for me

When I think back to the best fights in the series, the first that come to mind are: White album, part 5 train, Vanilla Ice, Josuke vs Kira and Valentine.

I really like how one of the options Polnareff considers is that his friends will appear to save the day, like the viewer is also thinking that because its such a classic trope, this way it kinda lets you relate more to him, both you and the character were waiting to Jotaro appear and save the day

i remember reading part 3 and getting seriously excited by the annubis fight, then this one blew my mind

I just binge watched all Parts excluding 5. The Part 6 ending made me feel sad for a bit. But Polnareff vs Vanilla Ice made me cry. Seeing Iggy get beaten down stirred a lot of feelings for me. Avdol dying. Polnareff experiencing hell and then still choosing to chase Dio afterwards.

I know a lot of people's favourite crusader is Kakyoin, understandably so. But Polnareff just hits different every time i watch the part. He's such a funny character whenever he's on screen. He's always the butt of the jokes. But he treats every single one of his friends with the respect they deserve. He values those connections he makes with people, and it helps him grow even more as a character when one of those friends sadly passes. Polnareff is a real one, through and through, and i just love him so much

Happy 100k !! 🎉

You brought back memories of the 1st time I cried to an anime

proud of the growth you’re experiencing rn man, love your work!

This has always been my favorite part 3 fight

Its got one of the best selections of songs too!!!

IGGY GET OUT OF THERE HES STILL ALIVE IGGYYYY!

Bittersweet. That's the word you're looking for.

I like how iggys design changed when he was introduced then later in the story his design changed

That shoulder bump was top tier finish.

Always been my favorite fight in JoJo

Great vid

This is my fav battle in jojo

5:29 Nice callback to "It was me diorite!"

It really sad to when you think about it everything that spurned polnariff forward was the loss of someone he cares for: his sister death is what got him on his quest for J.gile and crossed his fate with meeting dio and getting pulled into the whole jojo bloodline battle, avdol’s death gave him the resolve not to flee the mansion and to push forward to fight vanilla ice, iggy’s death gave him a second wind through rage/resolve not to give in to defeat…..he has his moments where he acts tough and cocky in a fight and he has skill for sure, but it’s only when he loses someone important in his life is when his true strength gets revealed, imagine how sad it is to be considered a hero but your greatest growth is from failing to save the ones you love

Btw really great video. Totally spitting facts.

The last few fights of part 3 are so peak

Great video man I’ve always thought it was an awesome fight polnareff is one of the best jojo characters I enjoy him he’s not in my top 5 but I still think he’s great

In 8 jojo parts, this fight is my favorite

This is one of the greatest fights in part 3

editing always makes me shit myself laughing

Polnareff vs Vanilla Ice is by far my favorite battle of part 3

Finally I to someone who like that's fight.

I know what the next vid this man is going to make hes going to make a vid tittle why jojo character posing is peak jojos.

He was a mini boss and he took out two of the crusaders.

The French Revolution strikes again.

5:30 can someone tell me where did he get the t pose avodol model from

Honestly i love vanilla ice and the stand design of Cream, when i first watched it cream seemed like an unstoppable force and an incredibly overpowered stand, and avdol's death was so quick and it didnt even have fanfare, it was fast and fatal from cream and polnareff is thrown head first into a lethal battle against a seemingly undefeatable foe who already killed his friend

Polnareff is the only frenchie I respect

Iggy and Polnareff had a ruff start

I know the cultural importance of Jotaro as the lonely hero taking inspiration from Clint Eastwood but man, Polnareff honestly is the true protagonist of Part 3, Jojo wouldn’t be the same without him.

13:10 When I first saw it, made me tear up a bit. By that point, had warmed up quite a bit to Iggy and started to quite like him.
