The second half to Part 3 of JoJo. More fights and DIO!
[(SPOILER AHEAD) STORY:]()
The second half of my favourite part, we get to see many new enemies, and a new ally.
This is season where we get to see an amazing villain DIO.
The whole point of this part was to stop DIO from playing with Stands and to save Holly Kujo (Jotaro's Mother, just in case you forgot) and all of that is now coming to fruition.
Before we get to see DIO we get the usual fights we had in the first Season of Part 3. I won't give much detail into them as all of them playout differently (as to be expected). The big difference with these lads is that they are the top guards for DIO and therefore will be much tougher. Especially Vanilla Ice and his OP stand.
[CHARACTERS:]()
I've already covered the main cast in the last JoJo review (this one). I'll just be covering the new additions to the main cast.
First up we have Iggy, the new ally. At first he is quite a handful though he gets much more lovable in the later episodes, almost as if Araki forgot his intial design, which I guess he did forget since later on (even in the Manga) Iggy's appearance changes to be more cartoonish and "cute". He personality does change slowly but feels more natural than that design change. As he gets accustomed to the gang he can be quite "nice".
DIO, he is the Main Villain of Part 3. He is much more insane than Dio from Part 1. The power of the Stands got into his head and he insists he that his Stand is the most powerful [BIG SPOILERS AHEAD LADS]() DIO's stand is 「THE WORLD」 which can stop time for few seconds, though DIO later explains he can get more time if his body, which is stolen from Jonathan Joestar, heals.
There pretty much is no other big additions, the stand user Vanilla Ice is quite impactful though.
Vanilla Ice's Stand is a black hole like stand. Even Vanilla Ice doesn't know where things go after they enter the Void.
At first Vanilla Ice dies for DIO but gets a second chance due to the help of DIO's blood healing him. This turns him into a Vampire.
He is quite a big character in my opinion because he is responsible for the death of 2 main characters.
[ART/ANIMATION:]()
Well I can't really say anything different than from my last review. The art style is the same.
Here's a recap of what I said before:
Part 3 does try and stay true to Part 1/2 with its big bulky men and square-ish features though it looks much cleaner and more badass (in my opinion).
The Animations though did get quite the oomph especially in fights, we get to experience much more fluid movements which is great.
[MUSIC:]()
The soundtrack is, as always, amazing. It packs quite a punch in each scene and overall adds that missing ingredient.
The new OP (end of the WORLD) is amazing, probably my favourite Opening from JoJo. It is incredibly catchy.
The ED (Last Train Home) is quite...well...sad. After such a long journey our heroes get some rest. That's the vibe the song gives off. Which is so heartwarming to be honest.
[OVERALL OPINION:]()
JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken: Stardust Crusaders - Egypt-hen is an amazing second half to an amazing Part of JoJo.
The villains, heroes, and fights worked togehter so well to give us such a great show.
The sheer insanity of DIO and the impact of Part 1's decision of Dio is so cool to look at. Such a simple decision as putting on a mask led to all of this. Amazing.
