And yet, he still actually follows that sarcastic rule, because like all the other stand users, he has one specific design choice that makes him stand out in a sea of nobodies, but said design choice is pretty low-key and not always visible: His Killer Queen branded tie. That is literally the only tell that he's a threat, and when he initially appears in that first scene in the video, you can see he's specifically facing AWAY from the camera, his back completely turned and obscuring his iconic tie.

Exactly The other JoJo villains like DIO, Kars and thr Pillarmen, Diavolo and even Pucci had their own henchmen indicating they could be reasoned with if you really, wholeheartedly support their motive. Kira is the only one villain who did not have his own henchmen. His father only used the arrow to create more users to distract the main group from finding Kira and might potentially killing them in the process. Kira is a guy having no henchmen. His purpose couldn't be reasoned by anyone. In my opinion the most evil JoJo villain, with Funny Valentine as the close second.

@anoon-

2 ай бұрын

I believe it's also about his personality and the control aspect. He hates talking to people, or even just being around people, which is why he doesn't get a wife with nice hands. Instead he uses his strength and later on his stand to kill women, and have total control over them. Remove their individuality and make them simply an object he can dispose of and do whatever he pleases with it. Notice how he never fell in love with the Mona Lisa, but instead was fixated on just her hands. Even cutting them off her so he can continue to look at them without the hassle of having the whole image, it mirrors what he would go on to do with real women.

Nice! I think you should also add the one scene immediately after Kira changes his identity to Kosaku, where you can see him in the crowd of people (white suit, black spiky hair, carrying bag)

I will say it's quite impressive the dexterity with which he manipulates the hands. The hand holding the bag I'd expect at that angle it'd just flop down all the fingers and fall, or the cloth would just fall out of the hand and it wouldn't pick it up well when he's dabbing his car.

I think it was to symbolize the looming sense of wrongness in the town despite its cheery disguise. That’s why the sky turns pink at the end of the part, symbolizing the release from evil that the town was once controlled by, while still staying bizarre with its colorful people and stand users.

Kira is slowly introduced trought out the whole first part, hidden in plain sight like this scenes and the radio tgat talk about disappearing cases, most of the audience wouldn't have noticed this the first time but on a second watch it all makes sense

He should have never gotten a stand anyways, that’s why he was found.

I came looking for this video because I was rewatching jojo and on the episode “Chilli Pepper” I also noticed at 12:37 Kira was in the background glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed

What I like most about Kira is the logic behind his ambition. His monologue insinuates the difference between peace and normality and how a boring life doesn’t accumulate to peace of mind. Much like people in IRL, he wants to live life full of excitement but free of consequences and (spoilers) achieving his goal of living a peaceful life became his downfall as while he’ll be remembered in Moriah as nothing but an ordinary man, he’ll spend eternity living an un- peaceful afterlife.

And how it’s a small town and everyone knows each other and see each other every now and then by chance. As someone who lives in a small town I can confirm you actually run into people you know pretty often at places like stores and just walking around.

My name is Yoshikage Kira. I’m 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don’t smoke, but I occasionally drink. I’m in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I’m trying to explain that I’m a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn’t lose to anyone.

I forgot how creepy bro was

"The stand user could be anyone!" Kira actually looking like any random person:

Fun Fact, Rohan, Yuya and Cheap Trick’s user are introduced in the same way. Background characters before their respective episodes.

this change from the manga was a great one, I remember watching a video talk about how araki didn’t like that he didn’t put kira in plain sight (mainly because he didn’t know who was gonna be the main villain for part 4) I just really like how it could’ve been anyone.

kira will never live a simple life he’s even caught on screen before introduced to his hand fetish.

Ngl When I saw Kira during the RHCP fight on rewatch, my jaw was on the floor. We never notice until after the fact. Just as Kira would have wanted it

Kira can’t be hidden in plain sight before he is introduced to people who already read the Part 4 manga before the Part 4 anime came out. If this was in the manga, it would be infinitely crazier.

His introduction picking up the hand is the coldest shit ever 🥶🥶🥶

The OP is my personally favorite of his appearances The viewer knows what they're getting into with all the Stand users we get to see in the first few episodes lining up, and he still manages to slip by

i litreally noticed kira in plain sight before he even revealed it

he is just trying to live a peaceful life

he really pulled the “i have to return some video tapes” at the end there

They do this with a lot of other characters in the show, you actually see Keicho, Okyuasu, Yukako and some others when Josuke stops the robbery early into the shown

This means all the memes which are like"imagine seeung a random stadn battle in the middle if the street" are confirmed canon

Im pretty sure we once see hand of a someone with purple jacket at a somewhere like a cafe around ep 10 or a eposide close to that

2:49 The way her hand just limps and succumbs to the laws of gravity(if you believe in it) tells me that he had [Killer Queen] hold the hand up to make it look like it wasn’t a disembodied hand. And then he just stopped doing that and the hand just dropped after his monologue ended.
