S04E03: Putting the Spirit of Defeat in Your Soul

Good morning and welcome to our podcast, which has pivoted to be 100% about magic archery now. I know we were all thinking, “this show is really missing a sense of the ridiculous” but fortunately Araki finally added a silly explanation for a thing. (For real though: the bow & arrow are Good.) We meet Okuyasu, the most wonderful boy in the world. Josuke’s character design was a painfully accurate representation of 1990s men’s hair trends. We finally figure out how Josuke was conceived (not literally, our parents already explained that bit to us). And we say goodbye to Koichi, who must be dead at this point because...ye gods. -- JoJo’s Bizarre Explainer JoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Either you love it, or you've never seen it.
