You can really tell how much Araki improved the fighting mechanic in this arc. The Stands are much more creative than in the previous story arc and they are used in very creative ways. The fight was still exciting nonetheless and the way they used their Stands was pretty creative.Īs you would expect from JoJo, the fights are awesome. The final battle against him was a little messy and the way he died was pretty anti-climatic, but I guess that made sense in this context and setting, since Kira is a more of a realistic villain. Unlike Dio or Kars, Kira feels like a person who could actually exist in real life, which makes him legitimately scary.
He doesn't want world domination or anything like that, just a quiet and peaceful life.
Unlike Dio, who was more of a cartoon villain (wants to take over the world etc) Kira just wants to commit murders without being disturbed by other people. He is not as "EPIC" as Dio, but he is very memorable in his own way. The main villain of Part 4, Yoshikage Kira, is also great. He doesn't use it as much as Joseph and Jotaro though and his tick is pretty much dropped later on and his flashback never received any further explanation, but it was still a nice touch. There is even a little flashback about why he is so sensitive about his hair in the first place. Joseph had his predicting thing, Jotaro his "yare yare daze" and Josuke has his hair thing.

He is introduced as a polite delinquent, but he gets series when it comes to his hair: when someone insults it, the person gets his ass kicked! This is pretty much Josuke's thing. Of the 4 JoJos that are introduced at this point, Part 4's main character Josuke is probably the most interesting. The characters are great in Diamond is unbreakable! Almost all of them are interesting and their interactions are super entertaining. However the last third of the show has very similar issues as Stardust Crusaders (TOO obvious monster of the week) and some episodes are obviously more exciting than others, but in the end, Part 4 feels much more tightly written than it's predecessor. This causes the team of allies to be very large, almost twice the size of Part 3's. Most enemies they fight turn into friends later on or are at least somewhat relevant for the plot later. I wouldn't go so far as call it "world building", but all these little things about Morioh + the recurring places definitely give this arc its own flavor and identity compared to the rest of JJBA. Since they never leave their hometown, there is also a lot of attention to the city Morioh itself, almost like the city is it's own character. Araki successfully mixed Part 3's semi-episodic structure with some slice-of-life elements.
In Stardust Crusader, the plot felt very video game-ish, but in Part 4 fighting Stand users is more of a daily routine and not part of a journey to save the world or something. The reason why this plot works so much better than Part 3's, is because it feels much more natural. This person is committing gruesome murders for several years but was never caught, so it's up to JoJo and his pals to stop him. Most of the time they just encounter random enemies, but later they try to find out the identity of a certain someone with an especially dangerous Stand who is living in Morioh, who is the main focus of the second half of this story arc. Of course, Josuke and his friends have to stop them. to know a little bit more about the origin of the Stand abilities, which has something to do with these arrows. In Josuke's home town Morioh someone used a magical bow and arrow to transform normal people into Stand users. JoJo Part 4 tells the story of Josuke Higashikata, Josephs's illegitimate son. However, everything changed when the fire nation attacked.I mean when they released their JoJo's Bizarre Adventure adaptation in 2012! While the budget was pretty low, David Production blew the community away with their attention to detail and loyalty to the source material and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 4: Diamond is Unbreakable is no exception to this. David Production was hardly a household name in the otaku community a few years ago.
