I think it's entirely possible that DIO has more children than Giorno, Ungalo, Rykiel and Donatello. There could be more kids spread out across the globe in separate countries who couldn't afford a whimsical plane ticket to Florida over a funny feeling in their gut. Giorno can't be the only lazy bastard in the family.

Chapters 670-752
Last time, we continued reading about Jolyne’s efforts to save her father! AND IT MADE ME SAD. Full steam ahead and onward to the end!
And I see we’re immediately opening with Anasui PLEASE
oh my god it’s the Titan’s Curse from Etrian Odyssey 4
(or at least something superficially similar, but, joke etc etc)
Anasui why you gotta be like this
oh I’m sure that’s fine
oh my god is this the green baby I’ve heard about
oh my god Anasui did you really just--
UM
... the fuck?
THE FUCK????
oh sweet mother of christ
Anasui P L E A S E
haha oh god what’s happening
oh my god, that’s sure a way to deal with the problem
Pucci......................
WELP
so I just kind of read the next arcs without liveblogging for the sake of speeding along
1. :(
2. I did not enjoy the Jail House Lock arc
lol. lmao. fucking suffer, Pucci
Anasui I think we need to have a word about your priorities
oh Anasui is having a Time
awoo
oh my god that sure was a way to fix things
Ohoho I see we are about to witness COMEUPPANCE
Jumping back in time a bit!
eat shit Romeo
Okay so full disclosure
I gave myself a deadline to finish reading Stone Ocean
in the interest of actually getting through this in a timely manner
(and because I wasn’t terribly interested in wrestling with tumblr more than I had to)
I ended up skipping out on liveblogging for.... many chapters
I like Rikiel
I did not enjoy the Heavy Weather arc beyond getting backstory reveals
(and context for certain things in 7th Stand User lmfao)
I will however at least like
liveblog the last ten chapters
since
y’know
it’s the finale
I don’t think I’m emotionally prepared for this but here we go!
ANASUI THIS IS A BAD TIME
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
oh that’s just cruel
Emporio :(
god the fact that so much is happening is at least helping me deal with all this character death BUT AT WHAT COST
lays down
oh look we’re back in the prison
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
“Even if you knew you were going to die tomorrow, it is that ‘resolution’ that makes one happy!” cut to me mashing x to doubt
GO EMPORIO GO
(also obligatory “Gee Emporio why does Araki let you have TWO Stands”)
what a way to save the day
and now...
as Anakiss and Irene drive off, we close the book on Stone Ocean, on a new and undoubtedly kinder universe. I feel bad for Emporio, because these are ultimately very different people... but so it goes.
NEXT TIME I LIVEBLOG, IT’S ANOTHER UNIVERSE TO THE LEFT, AS WE START STEEL BALL RUN
See you then!

hi! Can you talk a bit about you jjba dr? (If youre comfy ofc!) ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
an introduction to my jjba dr! ✩₊˚.⋆
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
cw: spoilers for jojo's bizaare adventure!
-> hihi! and yes omg ofcc!! i haven't shifted to my jjba dr yet but i would LOVEE to just ramble all about it if you don't mind 😌 gonna make it all aesthetic and cute too cuz hell yea😍
-> all images used (except the dividers) are from pinterest and full credit goes to the authors of these images :)
Tumblr media
★ . about my jjba desired reality!
right now, i only have one jjba desired reality which the whole thing about is me going on all the adventures from part three to five!
i think in the future i want to have a few more desired realities like one experiencing part two and part six and maybe even more of the parts if i end up finishing the other mangas! i also want to have a jjba dr set in modern times and also a jjba-based reality with kpop idols!
the timeline: in my main jjba reality, i've changed the timeline of some things so i can experience all the adventures in the different parts with the jojo boys in succession one after the other.
for example, when i first shift to this reality, i start with going on the adventures of part three with jotaro and the other stardust crusaders. the events of part four happen a year after the events of the stardust crusaders adventures when me, and jotaro are ordered to go to morioh by the speedwagon foundation to investigate well, jotaro's 'cousin'😭
in this reality, there was no affair 😙 joseph has a daughter and a son: holly and hugo. hugo is holly's younger brother and when he graduates high school, he goes off to japan for university. however, he meets tomoko there and they become a couple. long story short, he gets her pregnant and he never told any of his family, in fear of what they might say about him having a child so young. so that's how there is no affair that makes everyone go crazy, how josuke exists and how i can experience adventures when i'm not an old lady and i don't have to wait like twenty years between each adventure! (lmao)
obviously i can't live without kakyoin being dead and everyone else, so they live in this version 🤗 also, i made dio sort of less? evil? he doesn't actually commit any crimes against other humans (except blood-sucking ew but he doesn't kill anyone and just keeps people hostage as slaves and maids while he does his evil bidding eek) but is just hellbent on 'destroying' the joestar bloodline.
thinking about adding some other people into this reality too? for example, i was really contemplating adding sunghoon into this reality and making him one of dio's sons or something but during part three, he turns on his father and helps us defeat him 😜 this is a possible addition but i'm not sure if i'll go through with this or not!
i also have some generational pact with the brandos (i didn't do it, my grandpa did smh), though i fight with the joestars. long story short, my grandpas was in love with dio and made a pact that he would swear to protect the brando bloodline (my grandpa = speedwagon but dio's version) /hj might explain this later but im still in the works with figuring out how it's going to work and the backstory behind it!
Tumblr media
★ . about me!
background: i was born in australia on the (??\??\???? - not sure on the dates and whether i want it to be set in the 80's or the 00's). i was born with a faint, butterfly-shaped marking on my back. none of my parents knew what it meant but as i grew older, it continued to grow darker, and darker. self-conscious of the odd mark etched into my back, i bandaged it up to hide it. i lived a pretty peaceful childhood. however, the after i turned thirteen years of age, very strange occurrences kept happening to me.
there were some instances where things would become heavier or lighter, or where my parents felt as if they were moving in slow-motion or faster than usual. i would get weird dreams, some of the past, and some of the very, far future.
little did i know, this was all the work of my stand manifesting.
not knowing what was happening, i was shipped off to japan to live with my uncle, in tokyo in hopes that my uncle would be able to fix whatever was going on with me. you see, my uncle is a very spiritual man. while he works as an astronomer and a psychologist, he is very knowledgeable in the likes of tarot cards, magic, and otherworldly forces (etc). he did everything he could and that was in his power to try and figure out what was happening to me, since that was his forte and all.
and thus, after years of dealing with these strange incidents, at the age of 15, my stand manifested before me. i was crossing the street, on the way back to my uncle's apartment from visiting a convenience store. however, i didn't notice a car zooming towards me until it was too late. i shut my eyes, assuming it was all over. this was my fate: i was going to die a horrible and painful death. and there was nothing i could to about it.
i shut my eyes, bracing myself for the impact and my inevitable doom.
i waited.
and waited.
and yet, i felt nothing.
the impact never came. the excruciating pain and blast i expected to feel, never hit my body.
i was alive. and completely unscathed. but. . . how?
i wearily opened my eyes and to me confusion and horror, i saw her. i saw a strikingly beautiful but eerie human-like creature floating in front of me. it had it's arms extended out toward the car, which was now moving at an impeccably slow snail's pace.
after standing there in shock for a few seconds, i shook my head and scurried away.
around a few times after this incident, the frequency at which i had those 'weird' dreams dramatically increased. they turned from being a fortnightly, even monthly occurrence, to having those dreams many nights in a row, back to back.
oddly enough, with every dream i was having, i couldn't help but feel they were starting to feel a lot less like dreams but a lot more like visions.
after two weeks of more odd visions and happenings, i finally told my uncle. he was deeply puzzled as he tried to make sense of what was happening to me. and after a few minutes of pondering, something washed over his face.
was it relief? or more confusion?
did he finally work out what was happening to me?
but in the end, all he told me what that if i were to ever run into a man with the name 'Joseph Joestar' he made me promise i were to stick with him if i ever met him.
i asked him who he was, and all he replied with was: "Joseph? oh why, he's just a very good old friend of mine."
and so, i continue my life as usual, trying to deal and overpower these strange incidents and even became familiar with my beautiful and endearing new creature. luckily for me, i was enrolled in an online school so any incidents i would have would hardly leave a scratch on my grades and records.
although, this completely changed in the last year of my high school.
you see, my uncle wanted me to have a 'fun' and 'memorable' high school experience, especially considering it was my last year. and so, he enrolled me into an actual high school, which would change the course of my fate forever.
and what a 'fun' and memorable year it was. . .
(i am so sorry if this is so corny omg this feels so corny sdsdjs)
Tumblr media
★ . my stand!
my stand name: Ancient Dreams (In a Modern Land)
statistics: power: B Rank speed: A Rank range: B Rank durability: A rank precision: B Rank potential: A Rank
abilities: weight drop! (weight change): the ability to change the weight of anything. can make objects or people light, or make objects or people heavier. the stand user cannot use this ability on themselves. the ability can be activated by shooting small orbs or energy at the opposing object or person, where they will have a butterfly emblem on them, shaded corresponding to a highlighted moon phase on my stand, which corresponds to the 'levels' of weight taken off the person. flash! (speed manipulation): the ability to change the speed of any object or person. however, this can only be done when the stand makes contact with the object of person. dream telepathy/communication/travelling: has the ability to communicate with others during their dreams, or enter one's dream through a meditative trance, with the help of their stand. the stand user can appear in one's dreams and communicate with the person, and also manipulate their dreams. however, the stand user cannot physically harm their target's through their dreams. rather, it is a soothing and positive technique that puts the target in a state of comfort. dream energy: the stand has the ability to shoot out energy orbs as a way of fighting. the orbs are made of 'dream energy' and can easily damage and slice through objects, depending on the manipulation of the orb. the orbs can be thrown in their pure form, or even me manipulated into whatever the stand user desires. for example, i could turn dream orb into a 'dream sword,' made from the cosmic energy of dreams and fantasy.
appearance: has a slim and feminine appearance. it's body is a gradient and mix of light baby blue, lilac purple and cotton candy pink, with the phases of the moon imprinted on it's chest. it wears a majestic headpiece of a butterfly on it's head, which is coloured a shimmering mix of pastel gold, purple and pink. it's eyes are a deep blur colour, and has transparent blue 'butterfly' wings.

Headcanons for JJBA characters? 🙏
oh yeah sure!
Notes: I headcanon that MIH created the new universe and the Part 1-Part 6 Universe still exists, just wiped the characters memories of it, like all of them. Except Emporio. This explains, spoilers ahead, headcanons for Emporio’s and some others!
Hol Horse from Part 3
Tumblr media
somewhere it mentions him being from Eastern Europe whether in a novel or something, but I headcanon he’s Greek-American.
Comes from a semi-big and wealthy Greek family of 5 siblings, 3 sons (including him) and 2 daughters. He’s the youngest (of the sons) and only his sisters are stand users
Has a kid somewhere, I just have no idea where exactly, maybe in Cario or somethin
Was born on December 13th (which is conveniently National Horse Day in America), 1966 which makes him 26-27 during SDC
Trish Una from Part Five
Tumblr media

Green spots appeared in her hair whenever she got really pissed
Married Giorno at 20. Yay.
Hates Dislikes Mista because he’s stinki
Erina Pendleton from Part One

Had a pet cat named Jacquelin, idk
Planted flowers outside her house for some reason
Rohan Kishibe from Part Four
Tumblr media
From an average sized family. Divorced parents and 2 siblings, a pair of twins. He was the oldest and the trio were all stand users, only his mother was a stand user though.
Was just always that weird. Wouldn’t cry in the day and all week but at the most random time on Tuesdays as a baby weird
His sister lives in France as a fashion designer and his brother lives in England as a ex-mangaka and a current novel writer. So yeah, pretty successful family.
He got his weirdness from his dad
Suzi Q from Part Two
Tumblr media
Was raised as an orphan at an orphanage. Was quite quiet as a kid.
I don’t really know what else to say except from the fact she was an only child.
Emporio Alnino from Part Six
Tumblr media
Secco’s kid, do- don’t ask.
True stand is called Turn Down For What which he awakened somewhere late 2014 to early 2015.
His mother dabbled in fortune telling before being sent to prison for unknown reasons, and was killed.
Has a fascination in Greek mythology, tarot cards and baseball.
Emporio’s is kinda outdated!

As you're probably aware, I just finished reading Steel Ball Run a few days ago. I have to admit that finishing it was a bit of a struggle, but I don't blame that on the part itself. I have a problem with dropping media I'm trying to finish for months on end out of pure procrastination. However, after I strapped myself down and forced myself to finish it, the part went by much more quickly and I was done before I knew it. And... I am not disappointed.
I heard all about how fantastic Steel Ball Run was by other Jojo fans, and for the most part, I tried to block it out due to fear it'd get me overhyped. I did a similar thing reading Stone Ocean when I heard pretty much nothing except complaining about how "bad" it is. In that case, I think ignoring the complaining ended up working in my favor- while Stone Ocean is flawed (though honestly, it's no more flawed than the average part in JJBA), I enjoyed it and found a lot of the criticisms people commonly throw at it to be unfounded.
However, I have to say that after reading Steel Ball Run, I can definitely see how this could be someone's favorite part in the series. So much about this part is just magical. It's a refresh of the series, set in an alternate universe to the previous six parts, but also has so many callbacks and references to past events and characters that it feels like something new but familiar at the same time. All of the characters are given depth and motivation to make you want to root for every single one of them, even if they’re working for the villain. The relationship between the protagonist and deuteragonist, Johnny and Gyro, was very well-written and their dynamic made their scenes together a lot of fun. The plot has multiple layers that make it feel complex while still being easy to follow, the pacing is significantly better than parts in the past, and the villain ends up being a really believable character while still doing some horrific stuff that makes stopping him necessary.
Personally, though, I don’t think it’s my favorite in the series, and I still had some issues with it. Like Stone Ocean, fights and stands were kind of a mixed bag in terms of how much they grabbed my interest- you have great and memorable fights and stands like True Man’s World/Mandom, Civil War, and Scary Monsters, but there were also fights that just made me go “Huh?” Chocolate Disco, Catch the Rainbow, and Wired are some of the worst offenders of this. I feel like the middle portion sort of dragged a bit- it alternated between duller arcs and really strong ones for a little while until around chapter 62. I definitely didn’t enjoy how uncomfortably sexualized Lucy Steel, a fourteen-year-old girl and the part’s female lead, seemed to be, albeit that’s unfortunately pretty typical for Jojo and manga in general. My overall biggest problem has to do with a major aspect of the main character, but I’ll get into that in the more spoiler-heavy section of this post.
So, while Steel Ball Run is very strong and excels in a lot of areas that other parts don’t, I would not say that it’s completely flawless. I think my favorite part overall is still Diamond is Unbreakable, though Steel Ball Run has to take second place. There’s a lot I don’t think I understand fully yet about this part, though- there’s a lot of heavy subtexts and religious symbolism that I think will take a couple of rereads to really get it all. If you’re into 19th-century cowboy horse racing that has a bit of a twist to the story as it goes on, you’ll probably be really into part seven.
That’s pretty much a summary of my thoughts on this part. The rest of this post will go into spoiler territory, so I’ll put it under a cut.
 The best part of Steel Ball Run for me was easily the last 32 or so chapters. While I enjoyed the beginning and middle of the part, I was a bit confused as to how it was seen as the best. Once I saw more and gained an understanding of D4C and Funny Valentine’s character, though, everything just clicked for me. You have no idea how fast I soared through chapters 63-95. On the contrary, chapters 15 through 27 and chapters 36 through 60 were the portions that I was the slowest reading. While I blame myself for being so slow to finish the part (sorry), these bits did seem the dullest to me. Steel Ball Run has a very strong start, a very strong last 35 chapters, and everything from Scary Monsters to True Man’s World was extremely good, but I had to force myself to get through quite a bit of it. That isn’t to say that it was all bad- it just didn’t interest me. I just... really struggled to care about Pork Pie Hat Kid.
Something I really liked about Steel Ball Run’s plot is that it's straightforward enough to be engaging and complicated enough to be thought-provoking. It’s a race across America with a fifty million dollar reward for the winner, but it’s also secretly a ploy for the President of the United States to collect and assemble a Holy corpse split into nine parts that will grant him and the country large amounts of wealth and fortune... at the expense of every other country. You have two different main motivations for the characters- one, to win the race and collect the prize money, and two, to acquire the corpse either for themselves or just before the President does. All of the major characters, whether they be good or bad, have motivations for both.
 Unlike a lot of other stories, instead of painting the main character as the only one with 'legitimate' reasons for winning the race or collecting the corpse, other characters (including antagonists) have really interesting motivations and backstories that kind of make you want to root for all of them at the same time. Hot Pants wants the corpse to cleanse herself of her guilt of choosing her own life over her little brother. Diego wants to track down the man that caused his mother's death and his upbringing in severe poverty lead him down a path of desiring wealth and success no matter what it takes. Gyro wants to use the race money to save a little boy from being unjustly executed. Soundman wants to use U.S. currency to buy land for his Indigenous tribe currently being colonized by Americans. Everybody feels like a person that you understand and want to succeed in some way, even if they don't all do in the end.
Another thing really good about this part is the new mechanic introduced- Spin, a form of supernatural rotation producing energy that can be used for multiple things. It struck me as a callback to the Hamon system used back in parts one to two but produced in a different way. It was always a big flaw of the series that Hamon just gets abruptly forgotten about, so bringing it back, even in a different form, was really nice to see. I will admit that the complex descriptions of Spin and the whole “golden rotation” stuff started to bore me after a while, but I can appreciate it. I also like how Stands were utilized along with Spin, to the point where they even combine with Stands using Spin in their abilities. The only point where that happened with Hamon was very occasionally with Joseph in part three, so I’m glad that untapped potential was finally explored.
 Now, onto the characters. The protagonist is Johnny Joestar, an ex-famous horse racer who quit due to becoming paralyzed from the waist down (and is also implied to be an alternate-universe version of Jonathan Joestar?) Johnny interests me quite a bit because even if not all of the focus is on him, there’s still a lot going on with his character. He’s not exactly morally gray, but there is a lot to him that is... questionable. For example, in the past, due to his fame and skill, he was egotistical and rude, which is what led to him getting shot and paralyzed by a stranger after he forcibly cut them in line to see a show with his girlfriend. He’s also described to have the mindset of a murderer and is willing to throw away his humanity to get what he wants- something demonstrated by him almost destroying the Holy corpse just so his enemy wouldn’t get his way. He also has a troubled relationship with his father, where it’s revealed he was indirectly responsible for killing his brother who his father openly favored, which then led to him being essentially disowned. They have a bit of reconciliation at the end, but Johnny never ends up fully forgiving his father for what he did, which I thought was a good conclusion.
 His stand, Tusk, might be one of my favorite stands in the series. This part decided to do something really interesting and do what Koichi’s stand did, going through “acts” as Johnny grows and becoming different and more powerful until the final stage, where it gains the power of infinity. I always loved the idea of Stands evolving with its user and the fact that this was used again was a lot of fun- it kept me guessing at what the new evolution would be and Tusk Act 4’s ability in particular was very cool. (It felt like a much better version of GER- sorry.)
 I liked Johnny overall, but he also features my biggest problem with part seven: the way his paraplegia ended up being handled was very poor. Johnny’s main motivation is that the power of the spin or the corpse will “cure” his otherwise permanent disability, and that ends up becoming true at the end when Johnny miraculously gains the ability to walk again. This is something I do not like. Disabled people have been complaining about this trope of a permanently disabled character being miraculously “cured” for a while now- to imply that Johnny was somehow incomplete due to the fact that he was unable to walk and having him be “cured” by the end to complete his character arc is... well... pretty bad. 
 There’s also the fact that Johnny’s disability... really doesn’t affect his character after the very beginning. Once he learns to use Spin to get on a horse and start riding again, his legs just become completely forgotten about. I think I saw him in a wheelchair a total of once after the first few chapters. This just makes me think that it was purely introduced as a representation of his character growth (slowly learning to walk again as he gets closer to the corpse and his character changes) and not as an actual impairment that affects his life. All of this just leaves me confused as to why this aspect of his character was even introduced at all. There’s plenty else going on with him, and you could’ve come up with a better motivation than simply him wanting his permanent disability to go away (maybe him being disowned by his father led him to quit horse racing, and the Steel Ball Run race is him trying to return to his former glory?) Instead, it just ended up coming off as a harmful view of disabled people and poor treatment of permanent disability in storytelling.
Another character I want to highlight is the deuteragonist of part seven, Gyro Zeppeli. He was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed his character and relationship with Johnny. I loved how he rapidly alternated between a gorgeous model and terrifyingly ugly depending on what he was doing and I loved all of the stupid comedy he did to lighten the mood. I also liked how Gyro and Johnny both sort of learned from each other- Gyro helps Johnny learn Spin and get back into horse racing and Johnny helps Gyro defeat Diego by teaching him that his determination needs to become stronger in order to get what he wants. Gyro ends up being both a serious companion to Johnny and a comic relief at times. I wasn’t really too sad at his death (mostly because I saw it coming) but he was a really good character.
 My favorite characters in Steel Ball Run overall are Diego, Lucy Steel, and (I realize this may sound bad- stick with me here) Funny Valentine. I’ve talked about Diego before, but he was a wonderful callback to the original DIO while also being his own character and a really nice change of pace from the other six parts. Lucy Steel had a lot of screentime to establish herself, got the closest to the President out of any character (although that wasn’t always a positive thing), she was surprisingly tough while also being sensitive, and her scenes were (almost) always enjoyable to read. It was fun to watch her grow in confidence as she becomes determined to stop Funny Valentine, even if she goes through some of the worst torment out of any character trying to do so. The only thing I really didn’t like was how aggressively often male characters harassed her and made sexual advances on her. Most of the time, it was portrayed as a bad thing, but you even had supposedly “good” characters doing it at times like Mountain Tim. It felt mostly unnecessary and inconsistent in messaging.
Funny Valentine, though, was the character that stuck out to me. He’s such an interesting and surprisingly hard-hitting metaphor for American ultranationalism and the way that his ideology started with something positive (learning to appreciate his father, who didn’t reveal vital secrets even after being tortured mercilessly for months) but became something horrific (wanting to make every other country suffer so America could “thrive”) was genuinely really well done. He’s a bit of a difficult character to say that you “like”, though, because... well, he does a lot of fucked up stuff on screen. I did not find him likable, but I did find him extremely well-written, especially for Jojo. D4C is also one of my new favorite Stands and the final fight with him and Love Train was genuinely fantastic. I honestly do not have the words for it.
Here are my brief thoughts on the other characters:
Hot Pants: I was kind of disappointed by her. She’s a nun who disguised herself as a man in order to enter the Steel Ball Run race, and she wanted to collect all of the corpse parts for herself so she could cleanse herself of the sin of sacrificing her little brother to save herself from a bear attack years ago. I was excited to see where her character would go, but then it just... doesn’t go anywhere. She just gets killed in Love Train’s debris. Honestly, I didn’t even realize she died at first. I thought she was just incapacitated until Funny Valentine added her to his list of “sacrifices”. She never gets any form of resolution, even post-mortem. I guess part seven just didn’t know how to properly cap off her character, which is a shame because of how good she was at the start.
Pocoloco: Okay, this guy might be my favorite minor character in Jojo. He is absolutely hilarious. I am not disappointed by the fact that he’s the guy who actually won the race in the end. There’s not much I can really say about him except I kind of wish there was a Steel Ball Run spinoff in an alternate perspective where we see how Pocoloco won the race in his bullshit way.
Soundman: Same as with Hot Pants- his character just doesn’t... go anywhere. He dies and all of the struggles the Indigenous people in America were facing just get dropped and never mentioned again. He’s kind of a waste of a character (and an introduction to the story), especially with how good the Indigenous colonization pairs with the message about American imperialism. I get that it sort of ties into real life considering Indigenous people did get colonized anyways, but I was kind of disappointed that it just gets no mention at all after Soundman dies. I can’t say much about how well Native Americans were actually portrayed in this, but this is what struck me as off.
Steven Steel: Like most people, probably, I started off despising him and feeling confused as to why he was being portrayed as a “good” guy despite being in his fifties and married to a young teenager. Once the true nature of their relationship was revealed, though, my opinions lightened. My feelings are mostly neutral towards him- I like that he was not a creep to Lucy, but his relationship with her is the only thing I found interesting.
Diego From Another World: Okay, this felt a little like fanservice, but I absolutely loved this. What an amazing idea for a final fight. Again, the only thing I didn’t like was how the part felt the need to make Other Diego almost assault Lucy, but seeing The World be brought back one last time was just great.
So, those are my general feelings on Steel Ball Run after finishing it. It has its flaws, but it’s overall very, very good and I’d strongly recommend reading it. It’s definitely a step up in quality compared to other parts and it was a lot of fun to read.

So just to be clear: these videos aren't made by me, they belong to all the amazingly talented people on Youtube. I just thought I would try to post those I bumped into not so long ago (1 year or so). Most of them are about JJBA, but I'll try to add other AMVs to them from other fandoms I like. So yeah, this will still be expanded. The links are in right before the video title.
JJBA
[X] JJBA - Believer [AMV] by Blue Death - this one shows Jonathan's and Dio's 100 year long battle
[X] Bustin' by Blue Death - this one is just funny XD Just perfect 🤣 I can't say more about it.
[X] Bubblegum Bitch - Dio AMV by crysEdits - One of the most perfect song for Dio, the most iconic Drama Queen.
[X] Dio Brando AMV - Primadonna by Michalina Chrzanowska- Again, another perfect song and AMV for Dio.
[X] Dio Brando - Oh no! [AMV] by Blue Death - Honestly this was the first Dio AMV I saw and it surprisingly fits to him.
[X] My Type [AMV] by Blue Death - The vibe of this song is perfect for Part 2; it has a suave vibe. I love how in the song you can hear someone breathing out like in Part 2 Joseph had to watch out for the right breathing. The editing is top notch.
[X] Part 2 AMV-Satellite by Giblow 20 - It's a cool AMV, I was surprised by the song choice but it's a good choice. And the editing is great too.
[X] Joseph AMV (Overdrive) by doppvolia - I think this is a cool AMV, Joseph's theme is my favourite from the six JoJo's theme.
[X] Joseph Joestar - When you were young [AMV] by Blue Death - This shows actually that Joseph wasn't just a goofy character, he too went through a lot. This is just... sad. I cried an awfully lot because of this. The parallel between Ceazar and Polnareff and then Kakyoin 😭
[X] JJBA - Glitter and Gold by Novani - Wow, this is just... so well done. I can't say too much about it. 😅
[X] Teenagers • JJBA AMV by Mai☆ - "Jotaro scares the living shit out of me" (Sorry 😆)
[X] Stardust Crusaders [AMV] - I'm so sorry by BadGoodBoi - This is a cool edit, with a cool song for a cool team.
[X] Jotaro Kujo - Monster AMV by Blue - This Skillet song fits perfectly to Jotaro. He wanted to stay in the prison because he thought he was posessed and would hurt people he loved. He thought about the manifestation of his own soul as an evil spirit.
[X] Stardust Crusaders - Everytime we touch [AMV] by Blue Death - I never expected this song for a non romantic AMV but here it is. And it actually made me cry.
[X] Diamond Is Unbreakable - Rollercoaster [AMV] by Blue Death - It's so nostalgic and emotional, just like DiU is for me. I love how it captures the beautiful friendship between Josuke and Okuyasu! The part when the refrain starts for the last time
[X] Turn Up the Crazy Diamond - [ Panic! At The Disco &amp; JJBA] AMV by D. Nubs - This is actually great how the whole video is synced to Victorious. The song references Killer Queen a lot, and it's about getting away with murder, which is basically Kira.
[X] Vento Aureo ("Golden Wind") - Turn [AMV] by Blue Death - Okay, this is basically a tribute to Bruno's kindness. I like to think this is also Giorno missing the gang; all those craziness that happened to them.
[X]Vento Aureo ("Golden Wind") - Heartlines [AMV] by Blue Death - This one is just as emotional as the former GW AMV.
[X] JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - Gangsta's Paradise [AMV] by Novani - I can't say much about it, it's so good.
FE3H
[X] FE3H GD Spoilers | World We're Gonna Make | (...) by ContestChar - This is a GMV but I still put it here because this is my favourite and GD is my favourite house and team from the game. The song fits perfectly for Claude, his dreams and for my OTP too in this game. God I miss the skittles. 🥲

I think that the Jojo villain that unsettles me the most is Pucci.
Like yeah the other villains are unsettling but the thing about them that makes them easier to deal with is that they all have some kind of weakness. In the end they all fell to their Jojo counterparts and that was the end of them. They were monsters that you'd hear about in stories and they had their limits and all that jazz. The only human that is among them is Giorno's villain but even in the end he was taken down.
But Pucci.....he's a human who has a purpose.
If there's one thing that I've learned from reading so many stories it's that the villains who should be feared are those who believe that they have a divine purpose. A purpose that was given to them by a holier being in their eyes. Pucci is a man who's guided by his religious faith and beliefs, a man who's not afraid to commit horrific crimes and acts all in the name of his lord DIO. Like he's so devoted to this he's willing to do anything for his lord and savior.
It's villains like these who take their beliefs too far and who do things that no one else would ever do that makes them that much more terrifying. Because they don't care what harm they cause nor who they hurt along the way. As long as they can do what they believe needs to be done then they'll do whatever it takes to make it a reality.
And Pucci is the very definition of this.
This is one of the reasons why out of all the Jojo villains that I've seen that he unsettles me the most and I'd only seen him in a few episodes. Just from that small amount of screen time I knew that he would die for his cause and that made me instantly nervous of the guy. And that alone makes him much more terrifying than any other villains I'd seen and gotten to know.
Like holy shit Araki did a fantastic job at making such an unnerving villain and David Productions did an amazing job making Pucci as unsettling as possible despite being in only a few episodes. Like bravo.
