- jojolion is my favorite part not just because its the most well written part or because it has the best aesthetic or not even just because of the symbolism and every little attention to detail but its also my favorite part because it sets up this plot that is vastly different from other parts leaving for intresting enemy dynamics and how enemy stand users come into play. the part is not just "defeating a big bad guy" which forces araki to get very creative with the overall writing of jojolion and how he sets things up. this is also part of why i really enjoy DIU because it has somewhat of the same approach as jojolion except with a different endgame in mind. instead of being exaclty like jojolion where it natarully just cant have a huge "defeat this bad guy" typa goal in mind due to the story, DIU purposefully restrains from revealing an antagonist in the first half of the part to give the town-like vibe to the watchers. it gets the watcher familiar/attached with the town of morioh and familiar with the every-day citizens of morioh as they would with their own neighborhood, making the reveal of a serial killer whos been lurking undetected for years alot more grand and sets the steaks high as if you were a citizen of morioh worrying for your own saftey. i personally think these 2 similar writing-styles of DIU and jojolion are very underlooked and people should really try to look at the real meaning behind the writing of araki before they hate. the whole reason why jojolion especially is one of the most overhated parts is because most fans cant seem to realize the brilliance of it upon first glance. i would talk about sbr (an easy top 2 out of all parts) but thats a whole other unrelated topic and i think ive yapped too much for one bullet point.
My History With JJBA
i first found out about jojos somtime between late 2021 and early 2022. i dont remember the exact details but me and my family went to New York City to go to a musical. when the musical ended and everyone was walking out i saw one of those billboard things about the stone ocean anime release. i looked in to jojos more and found out that it was absolute cinmea. i began watching jojos from the very start and it was so peak that i managed to finish parts 1-6 all in less than a month.
when i finally got up to the manga (parts 7-9), beleive me when i say that i did NOT want to read them and for the same reason why anime-only fans today refuse to read parts 7-9: i didnt like reading. around april of 2022 i saw this one steel ball run video talking about why it was the best part. i didnt have a clue about most of the stuff the guy was talking about in the video but it was still jojos so i liked and commented, to which more and more sbr vids started to appear on my feed so i just eventually decided to read sbr just to get it over with. it somehow only took me a few pages to get hooked onto sbr and i managed to fly through it within a week. i couldnt just read a little bit of peak fiction and ignore the rest so you already know i had to get on jojolion asap. to my suprise, something actually existed in this world that could top sbr. this is when i started to realize that jjba as a whole has always been this peak and this is also when i started to get really big on jjba.
