But my goodness, all of my problems are addressed with a warm embrace from part 4: Diamond is Unbreakable. This is the story of Morioh Town, a seemingly quiet place that houses a dark secret: One of the most disturbed and unknown serial killers in history. But this plot isnt really addressed much early on beyond some foreshadowing. It starts with Jotaro meeting Josuke, the new JoJo, and his half-brother, and investigating a few strange happenstances in the city. So the plot involving the main villain, Yoshikage Kira, is never really brought forth in a worthwhile manner until quite late into the story. Hell, the main characters dont even find out who the killer is until the final confrontation. This makes the episodic structure an actually sensible decision! Theres not much of a rush to find the killer, because theres not much knowledge of him, and even so, theres no personal attachment for anyone. It doesnt become a major plot point until Yoshikage kills a relatively minor character acquainted with our heroes, and at that point, everything feels like it contributes to the overall plot. Villains are no longer just minions in the way, they have actual information for our main characters, and sometimes even serve as allies. It makes the cast feel so much more dynamic, since theres more to having a Stand than just fighting for the good guys or bad guys. I also love how youll get characters that just have Stands they use for fun, without any need or reason to battle. One of the greatest parts of the show is the Tonio episode. We hadnt really seen Stands beyond their combat potential, so when we get this guy who uses his Stand to create food, a lot of warning flags begin to go off. The food is causing Okuyasu to go through some extreme bodily changes, and the entire situation feels dangerous. Its presented as this weird body horror, but after each dish, Okuyasu states how refreshed he feels by everything. The viewer has been taught by the way every story has gone in this series to distrust a mysterious Stand user, and when it finally reaches the point where shit looks about to go down, it completely turns these thoughts around with a joke about how Josuke shouldnt enter a kitchen without washing his hands. Tonio is not an evil guy, and has no idea why his Stand works the way it does. He just wants to make good food, and thats all there really is to him and his powers. You get a few more like this, but Tonio was my favorite in this regard. Honestly, I could probably talk for a few more paragraphs about why I love Diamond is Unbreakable, but Ive been writing this for about an hour already, and Im starting to get hand cramps. If it werent for the previous seasons, Id probably rank DiU as #1 on the list. I seriously love it that much. Its honestly the greatest shounen ever created in my eyes. But anyway, the series as a whole is magnificent, and I am greatly anticipating its continuation.
