I would die for this French baguette man with stupid pillar hair.

If there is one thing that I believe in, it's fate!

Añadir nuevos personajes para la batalla es un punto acertado, si bien Jojo termina siendo el más protagonista, también están los demás para brillar y demostrar que no sólo acompañan al protagonista. Aun así, pienso que es un excelente modelo de presentación para los aliados que necesitarán los Jojos de cara al enemigo final.

[Robert Mudas · Rating 3 out of 5]

Je suis très partagé.
Le début ne m'a pas emballé du tout... Déjà que je n'accroche pas du tout au principe des stands, qui devient d'un seul coup la nouvelle base de cet univers, le format "trois chapitres pour une courte étape du voyage dans laquelle on affronte un nouveau stand" me paraissait déjà hyper répétitif.
Mais la deuxième moitié du tome a attiré mon attention, surtout le dernier adversaire dont j'ai trouvé l'idée originale.

Todo el tema de los Stands me parece impresionante pero sigo sientiendome en la historia del primer volumen

Jojo's bizarre adventure is a manga with an incredible and unique art style and is an action book with specialized weapons called stands. It is really hard to find a topic for this book because of the jam packed action but I have been able to come up with the topic of determination because they showed determination throughout the journey to heal Jotaro's mom.

Yep. Stardust Crusaders is even more meme-heavy than I realized. I'm enjoying compiling these a little too much.

Memes in this volume:








NON NON NON NON NON




Wait... wrong book.






Jotaro harming marine life??






Out of all the memes I listed here THIS is the one that makes me laugh the most... WHY???

You know, for as high as I am on part 3, I actually wasn't terribly invested in Abdul vs Polnareff or Josuke vs fish. The first was uneventful, and the second just didn't hold my interest. It's not a big deal though, since the encounter with the orangutan was the right kind of bonkers.

Already, Araki is experimenting with just what a stand can be and who can use it. Throughout, I've enjoyed the mysteries involved. The gang has to determine if what's going on is due to a stand, what that stand's limits are, and who is controlling it. It's really fun and interesting. Because of how fresh stands are, this volume can get away with 2 less than stellar battles.

Si no me equivoco, en este tomo aparecía el tipo del brazo grandote que manejaba un auto diabólico. Tomo entretenido e ingenioso como siempre, pero no de los que más me ha gustado.

Star Platinum

[Erika · Rating 3 out of 5]

Since the introduction of the "幽波紋" aka the stand in the previous volume, the story structure has gotten interesting.
However, there are still some things that I don't like:
-how the male characters treat women (I know this manga is aimed at young boys, but still...)
-characters explain EVERYTHING because the drawing is not clear enough and what's going on in the battle scene is too complicated. (Just like Speedwagon did in the previous parts 1 and 2)
-I find it weird when the characters actually SAY the word "ニヤリ" instead of just doing it.

What I find interesting:
The way Joseph Joestar talks. He talks in an "old man" speech. I wonder when people shift their speech patterns like that. (none of my grandparents or my parents talk like that, but the old people in these fictions talk in this way...)

[Gab Andrade · Rating 3 out of 5]

3 estrellas.

Sigue siendo un poco pesado en algunos puntos, pero muchos de los personajes parecen ser muy buenos contendientes para que me puedan gustar a lo largo de la historia.

Jotaro me parece un personaje un poco toxico, pero se que necesito conocer más de su trasfondo para poder saber el porque es así con otros personajes

La trama es algo que estoy entendiendo y siento que es de las más sencillas que he leído de las tres partes, pero también se que esta es una de las partes extensas de Jojo, así que se que se tiene que extender y ver muchas situaciones.

Por el momento lo siento bien todo.

Jotaro and his allies have fifty days to find and defeat Dio if they hope to save Holy from her feverish Stand - yet they've barely begun their journey when a barrage of skilled and bloodthirsty Stand users challenge them in the sky and beneath the waves, willingly dragging innocents into the mix! Araki is sure to keep fans hooked by every intense twist of this exhilarating and hearty entry. Neither air, land or sea is safe from Dio's reach...

[Zander · Rating 5 out of 5]

As good as the last one! The art is perfect as well as the characters and I already have the third one and am going to read it tomorrow. Also I really like how there’s parts where the book has color to show how the ability’s represent the user itself. So basically perfect book and can’t wait to read the next!

[lux · Rating 2 out of 5]

Jotaro est hilarant à ses dépends, son caractère est fascinant, les hommes de peu de mots le sont presque toujours. Kakyoin est le plus charmant des personnages que j'ai vu jusqu'ici. Et évidemment daddy Joseph est excellent. Leur aventure prend un tournant intéressant, j'ai hâte de voir leur confrontation avec Dio.

[Ivy Shack · Rating 3 out of 5]

*sigh* the way this is the third part I've read/watched and the second time a woman is victimized while bathing.... At least this time the creep wasn't the protagonist and instead was LITERALLY AN APE... The more I read/watch the more I'm confused as to how Araki will write a female protagonist because thus far not a single female character has been written well from a feminist perspective...

3.5 - Vai ter muitas lutas de stands aleatórias só pra encher capítulo, já deu pra ver

[Robert B. Ullrich · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ah yes. The ape part.

Uh, Jotaro keeps using his fingers to win which is getting a little boring.

All in all, solid volume.

[Arthur · Rating 3 out of 5]

I can't decide if I like this series still

[Hana Eka · Rating 3 out of 5]

Akhirnya saya menikmati manga satu ini.
Adegan pertarungan pertama Jojo dan Dio versi vamp!
Selain makin bara, karakternya tidak berubah. Sebaik-baiknya tokoh utama khas shounen.
Dan apa pula itu narasi pertarungan dari temannya.
Bro, narasimu itu antara penting dan tidak penting... xP

[David · Rating 5 out of 5]

The second generation continues to fight against Dio and his minions while finding many allies on the way who are willing to help fight against Dio. However, with more people involved, there are also more people to protect.
