When I read other JoJo parts, I realised that some of the arcs were inconsistent. With SBR, you don't get that, from the start it got me hooked, each arc. They were all above 7.
Some of my favourite arcs were:
All the characters in SBR were fucking amazing.
Johnny had such good character development. He's the best JoJo, and Gyro is the best Jobro. When Gyro died, I got into tears, even though I got spoiled, it was the saddest death.
Lucy steel, an amazing female character, she had good character development too.
Antagonists, the antagonists in SBR were fucking great. Valentine, Blackmore, Dio, Dio in the parallel world, Sandman, Ringo Roadgain, even the minor antagonists.
Gyro is the best zeppeli, you cant change my mind. I felt so depressed when I finished SBR knowing that I won't see Gyro again. I hope we get a side story or something for SBR.
The story revolves around Johnny and Gyro, set in 1890, they enter the Steel Ball Run race for a grand prize of 50 million dollars.
Johnny and Gyro learn about stand abilities and they gather the corpse parts.
President Valentine is also chasing for the corpse parts, they encounter, have a fight to death, Gyro dies. Beautiful conclusion.
Holy shit, the stand's in SBR were so fucking sexy, the design's looked so good.
Some of my favourite stands are D4C, Catch the Rainbow, in a silent way, mandom, scary monsters, the world, tusk and 20th century boy.
I recommend listening to music while reading SBR, when you read music, it gives you more emotion.
If you are going to listen to music, for Johnny's and Gyro's fight with Valentine, I'd recommend listening to some Phonk music.
For the conclusion, I would listen to these songs:
While listening to these songs when reading the conclusion, you will 100% get into tears.
I must say, this is one of the greatest pieces of fiction that I've ever read.
As a whole (before part 4) , the JoJo franchise is alright. Not great, but still good.
When watching JoJo's, I realised how many flaws there were, but when I read SBR, there were none.
For me, SBR is a 10/10. The ending got me in tears. The fight between Valentine, Gyro and Johnny was one of the best fight's I've ever read. None of the arc's were inconsistent. It got me hooked from the start.
The last arc was beautiful, the conclusion was one of the best conclusion's I've ever read, the panel where Johnny says "Gyro, let's go back home" got me into tears, this was a beautiful manga.
This shit was fucking peak.
