Fun fact. Jesus's real name was Yesua which is for modern day Joshua. He was Joshua ben Joseph. Joshua son of Joseph... Yes. Jesus WAS the first Jojo.
this is cannon also

Jojo just gets more and more bizarre
Jesus was the first to start and finish it
Jesus is JoJO reference
I need to correct you on one thing. There is no connection between jojo part 1-6 and jojo 7-9. The universe reset only changed the fate of part 6 characters. The story of parts 1-5 still happened. Jolyne and others just got a better ending. Araki did not even named part7 "Jojos" it was named originally only "Steel ball run" but it was later changed to make it more appealing for long standing fans of Jojo. Araki confirmed that it is a stand alone series and part 6 ending did not create part 7.
yup glad someone noticed was fully prepared to bring hamonbeat into the chat lol
well yeah obviously. i think he knows that. all he said is that there were counterparts like diego - dio and gyro - william zeppeli (or caesar however you wanna look at it)
@@Notabl3 nope if he even has to mention the world reset meanwhile also saying that "it's almost set in alternative universe" when it's not almost it's just actually a different universe.
Yeah, i guess what I meant to say is it’s a reset of the series in the way of it starting a new storyline in a way. Not that it reversed everything that happened before, but it’s starting over with a new storyline with similarities and callbacks to earlier parts. Jojo as a whole has had a lot of soft resets already but yeah that’s a good point that part 1-5 still happened. It can get pretty complicated lol 😅
There is only 1 connection: same universe, different timeline
Jesus Christ in jjba is actually crazy 😂 sbr is a masterpiece though for sure
Amen
Bro just spoke and the protagonist gained new power
ameeeen
"dont shoot if youre hesitating Jhonny"
Yea😂
Yes. It is.

also reading part 7 jojo is like reading jojo again with a fresh new adventure since its not connected to any previous part which makes it both a good read for old fans and new fans which is genius!
I think the reason the stand fights feel more meaningful here is because they almost always move the plot forward, which was a rare thing in early parts, especially 3.
Yeah most Part 3 fights were really just road bumps to pad out the journey, doesn't help that most villains really aren't that interesting.
Part 5 and 6 already kinda did that at times, but I do think SBR integrated them really well into the places where the characters were. Like, a lot of stand fights occurred so naturally, rather than being something that occurred between settings. An example is the 11 men, who just show up at a place Johnny and Gyro were already at, rather than being a roadblock to their next destination. Or Tubular Bells, which adds an unexpected danger to a task Lucy was already in the middle of.
With SBR JoJo switched to being a monthly manga, so there's more time to plan things out. If you're under a weekly schedule, it's probably easier to just follow the bad guy of the week/month format...
the main reason why it became such a popular manga is beacause part 7 entierly stands out with the cowboy theme and featuring 2 main protagonist who actully work really good as a team. in many fights of the manga they fight way better then the stardust crusaders ever did xd.
Because they alway let Jotaro does most of the fights
@@jakytmkthe others still got plenty of time to shine
the real reason is that part 7 is the first part of jojo to have been translated in the USA. When you read it you realize that it is not better than the others. His fanbase is just very toxic in considering him the best manga in the world. SBR is a good game like the others but it's clearly not the best. Avoid taking the opinions of Americans and make up your own mind.
@@robotboy765 I am no american (not from the US at least), but I read SBR 2 years ago and found it the most interesting Jojo part... Can you elaborate on why "it's clearly not the best"? After all, it is so clear to you that finding it the most interesting is taking the opinions of americans and not making up one's own mind.
@@robotboy765elaborate?
I liked valentine for the exact opposite reason, I think what makes a really good villain is the fact that you can't sympathize with him, he is truly evil and not a "literally me" character.
he's a selfish, arrogant and ruthless with a "dark determination" as ringo calls it and honestly when you read his backstory, you end up hating him even more because of how selfless and loving his father was only for his child to consider dictatorship the ONLY right way of advancing as a civilization.
I don't quite understand what you mean?
He is in a way both selfish AND selfless because in the end he dies every time his stand moves on. He knows that and yet keeps doing it for the good of his country which shows how selfless he is about his goal and that he genuinely believes in that he does something good, but he is also selfish in a way that he only can do that with other versions of himself, showing how selfish he is in that he will NEVER trust someone else to carry out his goals, he only ever trusts himself unless this option gets taken away as well. Funny Valentine is a character full of such great nuances.
@@AzraelSoulHunterhe’s really more on the selfish side imo. The holy corpse would put all misfortune on the rest of the world, Funny KNOWS this, yet doesn’t care. Amazing antagonist
@@John34bruh And yet this goal is all about the America instead of just his own self. He is someone who wants to benefit his country as a whole because he loves it and it is his duty. But this dream while noble is also destructive towards everything else. In a way he is selfish in his selflessnes. Which reminds of an ego theory I've been thinking of. Where pride is like a hill. On one side there is selflessnes and on the other selfishness while the top of it is the balance point. Funny Valentine climbed this hill to the side of the selflessnes, but went so far into that side that he came back to the side of absolute Ego and selfishness. That's how I see it at least.
Funny Valentine is probably the nicest president in history.
my favorite part of the manga is that it starts with Jonny not being able to walk at all, by the end of the manga he learns to walk throught the power of spin which makes you feel like its really been a long journey and i love that!
And also metaphorically
i think the metaphor is that you can overcome anything. like the best way to beat fear is by overcoming that fear. @@hello-gx6oi
it teaches us to stand up no matter what, that chains cannot hold improvement and with enough of it we can learn to walk all over again in a new light just like Johnny @@hello-gx6oi
@@legendaryshadow6428It's also to walk on the path of adulthood said by Johnny himself
It’s a part where Johnny learns to appreciate the natural perfect state of nature, and at the end defies the very concept of the natural human nervous system by overcoming a state of injury that the human body should not naturally overcome.
You can easily just say that sbr is a story of 2 jockies racing to gather the corpse parts of jesus christ and thats instantly a classic.
“I don’t wanna spoil too much”
Spoils the entirety of SBR anyway.. lol
"My Heart and Actions are Utterly Unclouded, They are all those of Justice"
Bullshit
"Jesus used a stand" alone deserves the 1st rating, the rest is just to sell better.
Stando tsukai
holy shit i thought i was watching a huge video from the quality this is so underrated
Another small correction besides the top comment, the poses are not just "almost fashion inspired"...A lot of the poses are 1:1 of designer brand poses from shoots Araki studied
It has jesus as possibly the 1st jojo and actually respectfully potrayed his character unlike now modern movies
9:08 "I dont wanna spoil too much" then proceeds to show love train that appears at the end of the manga
when you were talking about funny valentine you mentioned that you can either see him as the protagonist or antagonist, and that just simply isn't correct, those two things do not equal good guy and bad guy, think of it more like protagonist=main character, and antagonist=opposing main character
Not only is it the best but it’s actually completed. Take that Berserk and Vagabond😂JK

What stood out in part 7 for me is how I was taken back to Jonathan's character development, which is fitting as Johnny is his alternate indeed. Personally, part 1 just felt too short for a proper story that I saw Zeppeli's death only as a justification for Jonathan to match Dio's power level after being given a good training arc, but it then seemed rushed. This was then quenched by Joseph's appearance in part 2 which also showed his character and strength development that's identical to Jonathan but in a more natural-looking way, without power transfer and all. Though I think the reason why lots of fans stuck to Joseph as their favorite was due to how this formula being almost non-existent in Parts 3-6 Jojos. So when I got to Steel Ball Run few years ago and saw that Johnny is starting out as powerless, I knew it was gonna be a wild ride and he'll be my favorite Jojo. Just didn't expect it to be my overall favorite part after finishing it lol.
Part 7 has my favorite artstyle (although I adore all of the styles in JJBA, they’re all peak to me).
My style for years was based around Part 3 and 4, however very recently I decided to study the Part 7 style and my god it was the best decision I have ever decided to make because it improved my art significantly imo. This manga straight up changing my life out here.
When I finished steel ball run ngl I went for a “walk”… I cried a little, 10/10 imo.
Same
the characters developments are above amazing, truly a masterpiece
Its the Twinkification effect
Goat effect
Great video! Just wanted to correct something that you said. At 9:38, you say that Funny Valentine can be seen as either the antagonist of the series or as the protagonist. While I understand what you mean, this is an incorrect way to use these terms. The protagonist is simply the character(s) the story follows, while the antagonist is usually the protagonist's main obstacle. What you're probably looking for are the terms Hero and Villain. The hero is simply the character we are supposed to root for, while the villain is the character we're supposed to root against. Otherwise, fantastic video! True man's world is still one of my favourite arcs in all of manga
sbr is just a masterpiece araki is really goated i tried not spoiling it to my friends but i still did😭😭🙏🙏
I see people saying its an alternate universe. But according to the narrative, SBR universe is the one true universe and the rest are sub universes. Part 8 is also connected to part 7 so the storyline kinda continues there. WOU might be the strongest stand ever since it is from SBR universe, and hence is tied to every universe by default. I'm hoping to find where part 9 will go, might be the last part, and I am glad that I can go along with the journey since its inception, as a teen to my mid-twenties hopefully.
? did you reread your comment lil bro
@@wschtoriThe saint's corpse only exist in the sbr universe, when valentine jumps to another universe during the diego and hotpants fight we can see that the corpse was replaced with diamonds, and then in the final fight against johnny valentine brings a diego that has the world. For me this proofs that the first universe is not the original.
Go Beyond is the strongest stand since it beat WOU, but WOU is the 2nd most powerful for sure. I see that though
@@vittoriovenetov9655 while go beyond did beat WOU, this doesn't really make it more powerful as a stand because go beyond serves no purpose other than beating WOU
@idioticfetus I mean debatable but like Soft and wet go beyond is like one of the most powerful stand abilities and is just a genuinely powerful stand besides that
4:44 the name is in Spanish "oye como va" is a tito puente song.
i finished sbr 8h ago and now after some sleep im going to start finally part 8
just the GOAT making a new MASTERPIECE 🗿🗿

You're forgetting the fact that when it's sunny outside, you can't see inside the building.
Ay, nice video dude. You earned a subscriber. Also, I did notice something, the background you used at 06:50 was made by me lol. I'm so happy that someone used it lol. Initially, I made it as my desktop walpaper, but then I posted it to reddit, but I deleted it after a few days as I thought it wasn't that good. How did you find it tho??
Edit: Just found out I have not deleted it. Now I'm glad I didn't delete it.

@@Quataurie Nah, I made the black one lol
@@dukkarblah decent 👍
@@Quataurie Thanks: )
Best part about part 7 is that you don't have to read part 1-6 because that series is over even though its part 7 from this point onwards is a new series so people can start reading from 7 to 9 or 8. All you have to do is watch a recap video and understand what stands are and how they work.
Even though it’s a good idea to read/watch parts 1-6 to understand the story a bit better
I bought volume 22 of Steel Ball Run coz it was the Tusk Act 4 fight and I can now officially say that I cant read japanese
I bought the first 2 volumes of SBR only to find out I can’t read Spanish
the marzirella sticks song by gyro will be highly anticipated
Ah yes Divòrcé Love Train, gotta be my favourite stand
There is a super cool cowboy manga called Greenblood. I HIGHLY recommend!!
one correction, Part 7 is not set in the same Universe that Emporio landed in at the end of Part 6, it's a completely different universe not connectected to the original one.
TRIGUN MENTIONED GRAAAAAHHHHH 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥WHO THE HELL IS THE HUMANOID TYPHOON🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Fun fact: The Tusk act 4 beatdown is the first and final beatdown in the manga, this make it so much hype
I would recommend reading green blood it is also a manga abt wild west
When was it stated that jesus was a stand user
Araki is both a madman and a genius
Jotaro walkin into a church really be like: “ I sense an enemy stand user”
I will die on the hill that valentine was the good guy this whole time
Other anime westerns I’ve watched are desert punk, and gun frontier (I found gun frontier off a wiki page about western anime.)
Does Trigun count as a western? It has a lone, wandering gunman, and it's set in the desert. 👀
@@vlc-cosplayer yes in my opinion
Jojolion is a peak part too....just saying, Deserves to be third best 😎
jojolion is PEAAAAAAAK
hell yeah jojolion needs more love
Joskue part 8 is so good bro
Josuke part 8 is honestly my favorite joestar
FACTS
5:41 bro forgot about Part 2/Battle Tendency D:
Astounding, yes.
To be fair, he did not know she was lucy steel, he just thought there was a fake amongst them. That is it. He was shocked when lucy transformed back
Part 7 manga did explain what is it's world building around stands. You can skip to part 7 if you want to enjoy it.
Dont tell people to skip parts whats wrong with you
Also Jojo is one of the rare series where I don't cringe at the character designs. I have a small unreasonably gripe when every important character looks like a generically good-looking anime boy/girl. But the characters in Jojo (especially part 7) are actually beautiful in a majestic way that I don't mind it. It sounds weird now that I type it out, but hey, Araki said himself that he likes to draw beautiful men so it's not TOO weird right?
Zesty ahh series 🍆💀
Just a little fact, Koichi and Johnny are the only people in the JJBA Universe having an Act type of stands. Echo and Tusk.
But the p7 isnt a aftermath of p6 reset ...
I can't understand if you actually understand, but part 7 has absolutely nothing to do with part 6. It's a reboot, not a continuation from Pucci's reset.
does part 7 have an english translation in physical copies yet. if not i hop they come out soon
No, it'll be released in English like next yr
Part 6 is currently being released in English so it’ll be a few years yet before we get SBR release
Rip I really wanted to collect the manga once I finished collecting the current berserk manga
What the fuck, there are no physical version for Steel Ball Run in English ? In France, the first volume of Jojolands come out in April ... My heart is with you guys !
Next year bro the stone ocean is in underworld arc
I mean, i feel why its such a superstar among the rest of this stellar series is purely mechanical.
It switched from being in a shounen magazine to a seinen and became a monthly release.
More of an adult audience and more time to create, better working conditions with less harsh deadlines create a higher quality work.
If the norm of manga release was monthly or bi-weekly, we'd have higher quality of work in general and higher quality of life for all creators.
I'm pretty sure that Jesus wasn't confirmed to actually have a stand, his corpse parts perform miracles, and in the part Gyro himself said that the thing that makes a saint isn't what they do when they're alive, its the miracles they perform after their death, the miracles being mainly granting stands
4:32 hum actually Gyro isn't the main chararcter, his initials are GyZe not JoJo
9:54 it was actually really needed for us to go against valentine more, as its understandable to do evil for the sake of the country and some may agree to some extent but the sexual exploitation of a 15 year old is downright horrid and a action that is unforgivable thus earning our hate of valentine
yo nothing on my boy pocoloco?
3:06 REAL by Inoue
In which website you guys read manga
Fun fact: Persona is inspired by Jjba the Author's of both mangas are good friends
6:20 yep i think the historical sets are 1° medieval 2° greek/roman 3° wester 4° 1600 pirates times
4:01 I would say he toned down the bizarre ness of the body so that stuff like stands would be truly buzzard because there being people being able to summon there fighting spirits isn’t that bizarre when the people look like there on steroids 24/7 but if you make them more anatomically correct while giving more unique features (ex. Josuke’s hair) than the stands feel more bizarre as the world around from the outside looks more normal
Shory answer: Gyro is to masculine and awsome or the long answer: Writing and Jesus Christ casually in the part
6:15 how did bro forgot green blood
The only complained i had for sbr is a conplained i had for the entire jojo series is that the characters dead are sometime.... Weird? Like we get a good introduce to sandman as a good guy tried to win the race and save his land but ended up being an evil person that do everything to achieve his goal and then just die 💀without telling what happened after that?
I was so disappointed to see Sandman go out so soon. I thought that he would definitely end up being a JoBro - apparently Araki wanted that too but ultimately he ditched that idea to give Johnny and Gyro more cook time.
I don’t mind most Jojo deaths, since they usually happen at the right time and hit the right way (except for Caesar and Kakyoin), but this one was particularly frustrating. Joseph and Lisa’s reaction sold Caesar’s death, and Kakyoin completed his arc before dying. Sandman? Coolest intro ever, can outrun horses, noble reasons to race, and ends up as Steely Dan. Just another (weak) villain of the week.
@@osmoticmonk most of the charater you don;t mind is because you don;t have empathy for them like would anyone feel empathy for ego Monster like kars or dio 💀 kira is fine the way is it diavolo is one side so no one care but pretty cool concept puchi is perfect valentine dead is also perfect executed amd for side characte like bucchi arako made that so you know and understand anyone so their dead won;t feel weird but it still so outboff place unesicery
Yeah sandman character assassination is the most major flaw of the story.
Y'all stupid as f
Sandman want the money for the land but president offer him the land to side with them so why not
"wow cool horse racing manga with cool powers"
"funny valentine and scarlet scene"
if part 5 was published as a monthly seinen , it had the potiential of being better than part 7 and subjectively i still like part 5 more
He'll no it was mid
True. I just genuinely like all the characters more. They are all tragic and flawed characters in their own way but the story really makes sense for their situation. I think all their goals really line up well. Also the antagonists like Risotto, and Diavalo both had realistic goals and the fights were all good.

this *stands* out
Steel Ball Run is magnificent! From Setting to Themes it’s a work of art through and through! Of course I still believe that each part is better than the last in it’s own way, so that they all stand on the same level and stand out. Sure, that’s a bold proclamation, but the differences in each part make it so that it’s like each part is it’s own story, because it is. Jojolion was the best of bizarreness, it may’ve done some weird things at the end, but that’s fine! I can’t wait to see more Jojolands!
whats the music in 3:04?
jotaro's theme
Sbr is stand alone but having read all the previous part is what makes it I can't believe I'm gonna say this but be par on par with berserk
you know what would be funny... if Jesus's actually name was josus and he was the first jostar in jojo history
joshua, son of joseph
hell yeah it is, part 8 close third too
0:50 bro.. have you not read steel ball run.. it's obviously an alternate universe
Araki cooked a goddamn masterpiece. Hopefully SBR gains more popularity when it's animated🤞
Suppose that you were sitting down at this table. The napkins are in front of you, which napkin would you take? The one on your ‘left’? Or the one on your ‘right’? The one on your left side? Or the one on your right side? Usually you would take the one on your left side. That is ‘correct’ too. But in a larger sense on society, that is wrong. Perhaps I could even substitute ‘society’ with the ‘Universe’. The correct answer is that ‘It is determined by the one who takes his or her own napkin first.’ …Yes? If the first one takes the napkin to their right, then there’s no choice but for others to also take the ‘right’ napkin. The same goes for the left. Everyone else will take the napkin to their left, because they have no other option. This is ‘society’… Who are the ones that determine the price of land first? There must have been someone who determined the value of money, first. The size of the rails on a train track? The magnitude of electricity? Laws and Regulations? Who was the first
Because jjba is peak fiction :3
5:19. Please, read 20th century boys. I loved Jojo part 7 but i think 20cb is even better! So give it a read after reading part 7. Such a damn good story.
Magenta magenta's stand
Yeah 20th Century boys has my vote for best manga of all time
Its as bro 20th century boys repeated the manga story by two times lol they overhyped the most bs things and the civilians were the most stupid people I've ever seen
One thing that disappoints me is how Jojolion couldn't even approach the quality of SBR. I know some people will argue with me over this, but the setting, the characters, the plot, and the villain all felt natural. It's like Araki lost direction and then changed his mind and decided to make Tooru the villain. Even as early as Phantom Blood, there was an objective from start to finish.
Jojolion was supposed to be an improvement, a successor to SBR, but I don't think Araki can ever reproduce that. I don't have super high hopes for Jojolands.
Edit: Also, Jojolion takes place in Japan, which isn't a bad thing in itself, but that setting's already been pretty frequently used. I mean, when you have such unique settings like a maximum security Florida prison, the American old west, from San Diego to New York, Egypt, Hong Kong, and various other places that have likely never been shown or even mentioned in anime before, going back to Japan (not even a different city or town in Japan, just Morioh) just feels kind of bland.
ermmmm... what the scallop?
took the words right out of my mouth
Correction, 1890's not 1860's, 1860's is around Johnny Joestar's birth.
Hold on... the anime.. is 190 episodes?... your kidding, it felt like, idk, 50?
6:03 how is part 4 not an amazing setting
In my opinion steel ball run is my favorite part and a masterpiece
green blood is a manga set in the wild west
sbr is basically brokeback mountain on steriods
2:00 No, watch/read in order or not at all. It is kind of criminal to miss all the evolution of the series.
3:00 Real, by the author of Vagabond. There's a whole sub-genre about it but mostly sports manga.
No offense but have you watched or read jojo parts 1-6? I feel like you kind of undermine these parts in this video.
I have, and Part 7 is in a different league. Part 6 is kind of close, but not too much.
Tbf the previous parts don't matter or effect SBR onwards considering the fact it's set on a whole ass different universe
Honestly the stands in part 7 lack "physicality". Tusk act 1-3 doesn't need to manifest as a creature when Johnny just shoots nails. It's just an ability and not a stand. Same with D4C, Civil War, In A Silent Way, Mandom. Some part 3 stands act as beings rather than just an ability. Hermit Purple doesn't just transfer information, it's also vines that can be used to swing. Dark Blue moon can summon barnacles, but also uses the fact it has scales as an attack. Hanged Man has his knife wrists, Sethan is a shadow, Star Platinum uses its lungs, fingers, eyes, like it's an actual person. A lot of part 7 stands just lack that which is disappointing
Come on man, I can't watch a video that immediately fumbles the bag after the 1st minute. All the other nerds have already pointed out the issue.
Where can I read sbr? I cant find anywhere to read it in english
