I don’t mind the way Part 4 handled having several main characters bc it helped with the Town Setting but I can agree that letting Joarto get the last hit on Kira was kinda disappointing but He did have a great fight against Kira.

Josuke being underutilized when compared to previous JoJo’s felt more like a concession with Araki’s ever evolving writing. As you go through each part of JoJo numerically, you start to see the protagonists have less time in the spotlight than the one before them. That’s because they had to share it more with that part’s cast of characters. Part 4 felt like an experiment in this style.

Stardust Crusaders did a better job than Parts 1 and 2, but it still felt like Jotaro was the guy who carried the team most of the time. What I like about Part 4 is that there was no great evil to defeat until the third act. It was everyday scenarios where people used their Stands in their lives to make them easier. While it's true that I wanted Josuke to be the one to off Kira or someone different from Jotaro, he doesn't live in Morioh, so it doesn't have a great impact on the Narrative of Part 4, I'm content with the ending.

Honestly, Josuke getting so much development early on was awesome because Part 4 had the unfortunate task of carrying two Jojos in the same part and not have one of them be super old. In my experience this made Josuke a more enjoyable Jojo than his predecessor early on which helped make Part 4 easier to breeze through during the "weaker" half.

That's why he plays support in most the fights and even if he isn't he still usually give important info or helps plan before the fight. Giorno isn't meant to be the same type of main character the other Jojo's are and leaves that role to the rest of his team (mainly Bruno, which is why he's my favorite character).

I think people do forget that the fight with Kira was a team effort. Every major character contributed, weakening him one by one until the end. It just so happened that Jotaro dealt the final blow. I'm not defending this, but I think people do fixate a little too much on that aspect instead of the bigger picture. The main players in the city of Morioh coming together to defeat the major threat is thematically appropriate for the kind of story part 4 was going for and I do like it when the main character isn't the one to defeat the villain People also forget that, before part 6, it's usually not the main character in Jojo that gets the most development. Part 1 had very little development for any character except Speedwagon I guess... Part 2 had Caesar, it was Polnareff in 3, Rohan/Koichi in 4 and Part 5 focused more on character exploration (I haven't read parts 7 or 8 yet)

Sadly Jonathan’s development is mostly cut from the anime even though it wasn’t a lot of scenes.

I definitely see why this is a valid take away, I don't think he's in the part enough, but I almost think its in Araki's style of making group centered stories that makes it so the main character is only every a piece of the group and nit centre stage, which I think works well. I think about part 3 and 5 especially to this degree as both have their jojo not be in the spotlight as much to compensate for the unit. Jotaro and Giorno are usally in the background unless during key fights while characters like Joseph and Bruno are at the helm, with the same if not more motivation for the Jojo of the part. In short, I think Josuke's lack of screentime is just a symptom of the writing focusing on more than one player. Koichi is definitely as much a protagonist as Josuke and there's argument to say Rohan also becomes a main protagonist because of his focus and motivation post Kira introduction and is ther with Jotaro to do the heavy lifting. This all culminates during Bites The Dust, when Rohan is at the centre directly trying to find Kira, Josuke takes what he learned from Jotaro to fight Kira, and through Koichi's developed ability over the full part, only then is the stage set for Kira's demise. I think that for what was trying to be done he fufilled his role as a key character but he wasn't the sole main character

@wdp1a73r

5 күн бұрын

honestly, I'd prefer a story involving many characters as their own protagonists and not just one, I know Jotaro is the JOJO GOAT but he tends to carry the plot too much in parts 3, 4 and even 6. (except 5 , he only cameoed in it.) its a nice change of pace for a series so 'BIZARRE' (hehe, get it?) don't you think?

To me, the lack of focus on Josuke's character kinda ties into the whole underlying message of P4: it's not Josuke that fights the bad guy, but the entire town trying to get rid of the disease that is Yoshikage Kira. Josuke being a JoJo only name-wise and not mc-wise is a good way of showing that, too. It's also very in character for him to not be in the spotlight, since as a down to earth normal teenager all he really wants in life is yummy food and fun videogames. Not saying that was intentional, but it works perfectly in my book

In regards to Josuke's hair thing going away after Rohan, I feel that's because the whole flashback was essentially a Cerebus Retcon-initially, the hair thing could tend to be a gag here and there early on, cause look at this bozo with his ridiculous pompadour, but once you really get into how and why he's so protective of his signature hairdo and why he flies off the handle when it's insulted, it can kinda be hard to see it made fun of. In regards to Yukako, I expect her to be in that redemption video since yeah, she practically got zilch in the grand scheme of things.

I’d say Morioh as a whole is the main character and each member of the cast, their life and experiences is an important part of it.

I think the biggest issue is both Kira and Josuke are too passive as protagonists. While reactive protagonist is aren’t bad, the need a proactive force constantly or they tend to just chill. Goku for example is pretty reactive, but that’s fine because everyone wants to kill him. The issue with all of this is that Kira also just sits there. So you have the gang and Kira’s dad setting up all these plans and hunting the other down while our main two just kinda… sit there. It’s why I think the first half of part 4 is the better story for Josuke because Akira is actively hunting Josuke down and engaging with him

I will forever miss Billy. May he rest in peace.

R.i.p to the man behind the voice Billy you were a goat

He's my favorite after Jolyne. I like to argue how the Bites the Dust tussle is my favorite fight of the first 5 Parts of JoJo. Josuke interpolates just about everything he learned about Crazy D throughout Part 4 into that fight - right down to a panel from the manga version of the Transmission Tower arc, "I can't fix back this guy's (wet, slippery) blood that's already down here!" From that line we are led to potentially consider/infer, like, "huh...so, I wonder what else he can do with 'blood' after he got his own both on & in the shoulder of Kira?" which leads into his own dried-dead-blood-bending Crazy Diamond healing exploit for massive damage - which essentially won his portion of the fight (using the gun-firing power of Crazy D's flick - which he learned to do in the Ratt arc). &, just as much, I find an even stronger case insofar as Hayato's mother, Shinobu, very-suddenly falling for Kira perhaps due to the Cinderella Stand's lingering effect it may have had on him. His good luck/fate really dictated those events for him, and while he thought Hayato did everything for him - he only further counteracted his luck by being a creepy kid maybe almost as much as Kira was a creepy dude.

Kinda like fate send him into the worst case scenario for someone to discover his true identity

It's nice getting to see most of the characters manage to live and not have a death crazy season for allies and minor antagonists while still keeping it overall compelling and having a very dark undertone with Kira-- managing to balance a much different genre of sorts with the standard jjba style. But if people like jjba for the horror, for the violence and direct action of good vs bad/moral vs immoral then people aren't going to enjoy it despite the writing and more unique take on what it means to live in this world with a stand.

DiU was amazing when I watched the anime and reading the manga made me love it even more.

Rip Billy. English Josuke.

Billy was a cool va, My favorite roles of his were Josuke (of course) and Dr. Maruki

Great video overall Kamen, per usual! Though from my own perspective, the main reason I personally don’t really agree with the whole “Josuke being overshadowed” thing (even if I can still understand and respect your perspective) is because DiU, for better or worse, is a vast departure from the more MC-centric parts in 1-3. Those stories basically revolved around the Joestars and their connection to Dio and the Phantom Mask, and so them being in the forefront made plenty of sense. But for part 4, while Josuke is the protagonist, he isn’t the main character. Instead, *everyone* is, because DiU focuses more on the community aspect and all the people who live in this crazy, noisy, bizarre town, instead of just a select group of people like in the other parts. This’s why we’ll have some episodes revolving around Koichi, Rohan and even Yukako instead of solely following Josuke’s perspective, since he isn’t the driving force of the story, but just one of its many major players. And even if this might make Josuke feel sidelined or underdeveloped as a result, I still feel like he gets enough screentime and focus to have his personality and character shine…like a diamond. So basically, part 4 has no single main character since it follows everyone in Morioh, as well as their goals, aspirations and relationship to eachother. It’s fine to dislike this aspect, sure, but I find it to be one of the many unique ways that part 4 sets itself apart from its predecessors. I also never really agreed with the perspective that Josuke didn’t defeat Kira simply due to not landing the final blow, since the last fight against him was meant to be a team effort. Josuke fought off Kira before anyone else arrived, and mortally wounded him to the point where he had to use Stray Cat to bail himself out. Then Okuyasu saves Josuke by using his stand to take away Stray Cat, and then once Kira was left with no other options, he resorted to using Bites the Dust to loop time and was stopped from doing so by Koichi and Jotaro. Who had already fought him off once before in the Sheer Heart Attack arc, and so it was building off of their teamwork already established earlier in the series. It’s similar to the ending of part 6, where even if Jolyne isn’t the one to defeat Pucci, both her and everyone else still worked towards defeating him until his inevitable demise. Again though, I can certainly see where you’re from, but just providing an alternate perspective from someone who’s read and watched part 4 extensively due to being one of my favorite Jojo parts. And always feel like it gets majorly misunderstood due to people trying to look at it from the lens of the other parts, rather than what Araki intended the part to be on its own terms.

Josuke isn’t the only one who feels like a side character in his own story. In part 3 Polnareff gets far more character development and is in more fights than Jotaro, similar with Bruno in part 5 who gets much more character development than Giorno.

The tribute to billy kametz at the end was really sweet. Hoping to see more jojo stuff!

You know, it is pretty weird that Josuke suffers from the same problem as Jotaro and Giorno in that he, most of the time, doesn't feel like the protagonist of his own story, considering that part 4 was more story-focused and had a smaller cast of characters than parts 3 and 5. Also, in regards to Josuke not defeating Kira, i think it could've been worse. Like, Kira could've accidentally erupted a volcano and got sent into space, or it migh've turned out that Josuke and Kira's stands are the same type, or character from another part might've come out of nothere and given Josuke a convenient mcguffin to defeat the final villain. And don't forget that not only Jolyne wasn't the one who defeated Pucci, she also never even had a chance to properly beat the shit out of him before dying along with her father, who she has spent the entire part 6 trying to save, and all of her friends. In that regard, Josuke definitely didn't get the worst deal.

Part 4 definitely decentralized it's JoJo for it's Slice of Life theme. It was definitely more focused on other characters. A Slice of Life lives and dies on its cast of characters. And Part 4 does have a good selection, I'll give it that. It's just unfortunate it came at the cost of Josuke's development.

Fantastic work man keep it up

I'm currently watching part 4, since it returned to Netflix this month. I'm actually loving it and it's my second favorite part to part 3. I watch it with Swedish subtitles with the original Japanese audio and it keeps most of the original stand names, which I think it's really awesome.

I'm not sure you even know what Araki was doing with Josuke in the first place.

When I watched Part 4 for the first time I immediately loved Jouske. He’s a stand up guy who’ll do anything to protect the ones he loves most, a goofy teenager as well. That’s also why I love Gentaro Kisaragi from Kamen Rider Fourze, two dudes who’d be amazing friends to have around

Here is one very interesting fact about Jojo part 4. The story of it had several things removed when the manga was being written, in fact proibbly of all parts aside from 6 it had the most messy development as stuff was changed or removed a LOT. One of these was deepening the dynamic of Josuke and Kira. Where it was going to be reavealed that Kira had an extremly abusive and negected childhood, where his father was away most of the time and his mother often abused him physically, resulting in his fixation on womens hands. As well as explaining why his father was so obessed with helping Kira and ignoring his serial killer nature. He could only see the child he wasn't there for when he looked at him and it was guilt that made him do as much as he did to try to help Kira. Josuke was suppoused to learn this and actually feel sorry for Kira and realize it's not enteirly his own fault he is the way he is, but still be resolved to stop him. This is just one example of stuff Araki changed/took out of part 4's original planned story. No doubt this helped contrubite to Josuke not being the protagonist he could of been as he simply didn't have all the scenes he could of.

Recently I finally read part 7 and almost finished part 8 and I think Josuke part 8 is my new favourite jojo due to his motivation, how connected he his to the overall plot and I love his stand I kind of agree with the point that it's kind of disappointing that josuke didn't hit the final blow on Kira but I think it doesn't hurt the story that much and I love the final battle anyway

He became less odd after a while, i miss how unhinged level of weird josuke was at the start. Curious how ur gonna feel about the ending of it tho

Favorite JoJo, and yeah, I agree with a lot of this vid. I love part 4 since I'm such a sucker for small town/city mysteries with the supernatural or weird sprinkled in (especially when the three 3 act structure is used well). I've always wished we got to visit them again, and while Crazy Diamond's Demonic Heartbreak & JoJoLion, they were a Prequel and a different universe respectively. I would have loved a sequel set with the gang in maybe their college years, whether it be slice of life or a new threat, it be nice to see how the kid's with hearts of gold have grown.

Great video as always. Glad I found your channel... WHAT'D YOU SAY ABOUT MY HAIR?!

Mangakame I didn't expect to Reference from Toonrific Tariq meme out no where like that towards the beginning of the intro that fucking amazing that he allowed you to do that.

Man I miss Billy Kametz 😞 May he rest in peace

"What'd you say about my hair!?" RIP Billy Kametz.

THE THANKS MOM CLIP 😭😭😭 you’re in on that joke as well, I love you ☠️

Joske always seemed like a small town superman. Always saw him as being around to help the other characters issues. He already knows who he is from episode one, and he knows who he wants to be from the beginning. The rest of the series seemed to be him applying that idea to his every day life.

Josuke is like Jonathan in that he is immediately striking and has his moment and that’s it. It makes him more special

Initially I wasn't a huge fan of Josuke, but after my recent rewatch of DiU he grew on me more. Hugely enjoyable protagonist who gets great interactions with all the cast, and his theme is so good! Definitely the JoJo I'd want to be friends with irl

Great video and I can see where alot of your points are coming from, but personally I do not think he was underutilized at all. Josuke to me represented the best of Morioh: a flawed person, but overall with a heart of gold and I think that presence is felt throughout the entire part. Every important battle hinges on Josuke at some point even the first major confrontation of Kira one of the main sources of tension was if Josuke would get there in time and if he wasn't there Kira would of got away. I think his final fight with Kira shows it the best. Kira realizes in that fight that the main threat to his peace was not Jotaro, but Josuke. While Kira bided his time in isolation Josuke (while not investigating) did something equally as important which is gather allies defeat enemies, and well not amazing I think it shows well in the July 15th arc in which the entire team would of been eliminated if not for the help of some of the friends made in the town. Also I think getting the final blow for Kira does not matter, cause the most important person in the fight at the end of the day was still Josuke who did all the work and who beating Bites the Dust hinged on for being late. I do agree with your point about the fact that it is kind of unfortunate that Josuke does not push the plot forward unlike the rest, but I think he makes up for that fact due to him being the one dealing with the enemy stand users in the second half of the part except 2 Rohan fights. I think what really hurts Josuke weirdly enough is merely that portion of The Lock, Surface, and Love Love Deluxe. While Surface was Josuke focused Hazamada becoming buds with Koichi pushes that forgettable fight into leaning towards a Koichi fight in the mind so for alot of people they just experienced like 4 episodes of Koichi as the protagonist not even including the opening narration starting with him. I think if this was broken up better with the Pearl Jam happening before Love Deluxe this probably would of lessened that Koichi centric feel. Overall keep up the good work, your videos are pretty inspirational! 👍

Araki: Jokuke is my favorite Jojo! Also Araki:

Okay this video is definitely interesting and it discusses an idea that I studied frequently which the media of Jojo’s part 4 and how unique it is to most media and even within the Jojo franchise which says a lot. I definitely disagree with the part the Josuke isn’t deep. He is simple but in my opinion he’s character actually carries a lot of thematic depth within the themes of exterior vs interior image, uniting communities the theme of healing bonds, relationships, conflict and connecting people to each other, the theme of genuineness and a punk with a gold diamond heart in general. That being said I think that Josuke barely being the protagonist is THE POINT, Meaning that Josuke and his character’s thematic messages are associated with him being a SUPPOT a healing hero more than being traditional hero and that’s I believe is his appeal. I think Araki managed to successfully get every message of the character Josuke told decently and never missed out on anything the character wants to tell necessarily. Btw he does have goal in protecting his people in Morioh which is interesting in this case. To me Josuke is one of the better examples of protagonists who are reactionary and don’t having a strict progression yet executed perfectly. He is sort of a way better Ichigo in a sense. I do agree with the fact that we might be left needing a bit more of him but I think part of that issue is solved by the manga “partially” meaning that the part 4 manga has a lot more content compared to the anime which means a lot more of Josuke. Now I still think we needed a bit more of Josuke inn terms of character arc and screentime and I also agree that there seems to be dropped character traits within him in a weird way which definitely distasteful. Anyhow great video and I agree with some of your points but I definitely think his utilization isn’t as bad as you presented although still not good either. Still he is the best JOJO imo.

Josuke and Giorno feel like friends

this is gonna be great

if josuke was done dirty... then johnny was done dirty deeds done dirt cheap

GREAT video. Also having a video about redemption sounds awesome, so WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT MY HAIR!?

Something else that should be mentioned is that, compared to the other Jojos in the first universe, Josuke is arguably the only Jojo who's life is more consistently grounded compared to the other Jojos, which is probably part of why there's not as much focus on him directly all the time. Unlike the other Jojos that have to be constantly on their toes to survive throughout their designated Parts, Jotaro lives life as a normal teenager that goes to school and deals with semi-normal teenage things. Yeah, he has to fight for his life against Red Hot Chili Pepper, some rats with Stands, and Yoshikage Kira, but outside of that one eventful summer that makes up Part 4, his life is the most laid-back slice-of-life levels of calm out of all the other Joestars in the first universe. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The problem with Josuke/Kira dynamic is that there is none. The character never actually "meet" until the final fight. The fact that kira appears vs shigechi, and the sheer heart attack arc is the first and only fight before he goes into hiding kills all pacing with his character. If there was a fight in between in which our characters meet and have a little confrontation, even if they pull the "they are doing something next to eachother without knowing who the other guy is" to atleast have a baseline interaction so that their opposing designs can work off eachother they could have a really fun dynamic. But since Kira went into hidding so early on, Kira's dad steals the spotlight that should had been Kira's showing off his character to the group, instead we get Kira showng off his character to randoms in the street and the Kawajiri family, and don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE daily life with the kawajiris, but Josuke is not a part of that, making Kira more of his own character but reducing Josuke's part in it.

I guess you could say that this was a... DIRTY DEED, DONE DIRT CHEAP!

This guy deserves more subs...

Huh. You finally did a Josuke video! Nice. Also, Rip Billy Kametz. Edit: 2:55 Fitting Edit 2: 16:46 Lol! He gets it from Joseph! Edit 3: What did you say about my hair!?

That tribute to Billy was wonderful Kamen. WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT MY HAIR!?

Cool video

I clicked on this video and immediately fell asleep I'm now arriving for the second time about to repeat the same mistake

Imma be honest, it’s been a while since I’ve watched pt 4 but I completely forgot about that alien character they met until you mentioned him. He was so random and unexplained that he never really stuck with me.

In regards to the manga, Part 4 is my favorite part hands down. A solid 9/10

Pucci: IM GOING TO ATAIN HEAVEN Josuke: hits window making it all come back together pulling the window frame puccis floating in back to the ground, or should i say, pulling it into a CRAZY BEATDOWN!!!*

So happy this got made! I love josuke and he’s my fav jojo (how original. I know) and i totally agree with him being underutilized.

Koichi is just that reliable of a guy you know.

Josuke always has been and always will be my favorite JoJo.

The point of Kira being killed by the ambulance is symbolic and plays on the biggest overarching theme in Jojo which is the concept of fate. Kira got run over by the ambulance because no one noticed he was there. This is ironic because Kira’s biggest goal was to go unnoticed and live a quiet life. He got hit because no one noticed he was there. Also add extra irony where as a ghost he got dragged away by a bunch of HANDS. Double ironic.

I feel like punching a wall every time I remember Billy Kametz is gone. R.I.P

I understand a lot of your points, Josuke definitely definitely feels like a secondary character by the end. But I think when I sit back and look at it he’s still my absolute favorite Jojo and part 4 is my favorite in the series. I think that the other Jojo’s are total badasses. Practicals larger than life heroes especially the first 3. But just like how Araki said Josuke feels like a big bro or a reliable upperclassman. Someone I don’t look up to in the sense that they’re larger than life but like someone I’d want to have as a best friend. To know they’ve got my back if something happens and that I’d be willing to return the favor for. I’d rather be one of the guys in the “Duwang” gang😂 then where I’d want to fantasize about being the hero like the other Jojos. Though l do wish it was say more of a team effort to beat Kira. Which is what I think they where going for when Jotaro takes in that breath imagining all the other teammates before he OraOras Kira into the ground. Also mad respect for the Billy Kametz tribute at the end. RIP you crazy diamond.

Weird how araki's favorite jojo is very underused on its own part

Josuke didn't get done dirty hes the goat

You raise very valid point. I did feel like the plot and josuke as a whole got lost until Kira showed up. Yet with hindsight I guess Josuke just stayed lost 😅

Josuke (Part 4) is my favorite JoJo, most relatable IMO and a fun character to watch, but as you said, was done dirty by his own part. R.I.P. Billy

Josuke as a character is perfect! In the peaceful town of Morioh, just your average hoodlum. Just like Kira is just your average office worker. Although both of them have their morals and are quite the opposite, what they do share in common is that they just want to live their lives in peace, even thought they are blesses with unnatural abilities. I honestly love the fact that Josuke isn't actively searching for the bad guy, instead the danger comes to him and while it isn't he just goofs around with his friends.

“WHAT’D YOU SAY ABOUT MY HAIR!?”

He was Done Dirt Cheap

Alternate Video Title- Josuke- A JoJo DONE DIRT CHEAP...

I think the explanation was that Yuya didn't want to, which contrasts with his conclusion in Enigma as well as everyone else who were there to say they would help, but didn't. I think they wanted it to run longer with the father fleeing with the arrow and making more stand users to fight, because he cant find Kira. During that time that group said 'We have no clue where Kira is. He's a killer and bound to strike again, we will wait until then.' Then later 'Rohan took these pictures of potential Kira's, Who's this kid, why he spying on his daddy? We have to find this kid.'

I think the reason for it not being the case is because there is literally no time for it to happen. Yuya become a stand user and also got defeat right before the Stray Cat arc and then right after that was the thursday that he was healed back and can do something. Right at the end of that day Rohan already notice Hayato and they decide to go investigate him. And then the very next day was Kira's death

It wasn’t that. They immediately got a clue on Kira’s location during enigma fight so he wasn’t needed (cheap trick and enigma fight takes place on the same day)

Every time kame says yoshikage kira, feels like I should take a shot, should make this a game XD

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DROP THE MEAT!

bro goes from "scariest thug in the whole town" to "baddest bitch in the country" by doing one pose in the end

It’s cool that you like this character

I really hope you talk about Jojo again (specifically about Jolyne cause she’s my favourite Jojo) and yeah it did really feel like Josuke was more of a side character in his own part

Part 4 is my favorite part, but I'd have to say I agree. Josuke needed more attention, and Jotaro not giving him any props felt weird. I guess cause he was more conveniently available than Josuke, even though he did the most work

RIP Billy Kametz
