Summary
Araki delves deeper into his "trade secrets" and discusses how to create villains, as charming villains are the key to a good manga. He also reviews the four basic structures of manga and what to do when one has trouble creating a character. Araki suggests creating the main character and villain at the same time. Although he lost Dio Brando's original character sheet that he made before JoJo's Bizarre Adventure was serialized, he created a new one through memory and shares it as an example of what to consider for a character's background. He talks about character deaths and suggests that authors shouldn't let their feelings be involved when determining whether a character should die or not if it goes against the natural flow of the story. Recently, Araki has wanted to portray villains more realistically rather than simply being strong. He mentions how the film depicts Arthur as a realistic villain who the audience could relate to since the character's circumstances are shown. Araki ends with discussing how he wrote and developed the villains of each part of JoJo.
