The series begins at Part 1 - Phantom BloodThe series continues from Part 2 - Battle TendencyJoseph Joestar journeys to Japan to convince his grandson that the 'malevolent spirit' attached to him is a perfectly normal thing for the Joestars （even though this stuff didn't exist in the last two part of JoJo）。 Joseph also points out that he， his daughter， and his grandson have a star shaped mark on their necks， as did his grandfather before him （even though this didn't exist in the last parts of Jo The series begins at Part 1 - Phantom BloodThe series continues from Part 2 - Battle TendencyJoseph Joestar journeys to Japan to convince his grandson that the 'malevolent spirit' attached to him is a perfectly normal thing for the Joestars （even though this stuff didn't exist in the last two part of JoJo）。 Joseph also points out that he， his daughter， and his grandson have a star shaped mark on their necks， as did his grandfather before him （even though this didn't exist in the last parts of JoJo）。 Also， it turns out Dio （his head anyway） is alive and using Jonathan's body which was hidden in a second compartment of the coffin from Part 1 （even though this didn't exist in the first part of JoJo）！Retro-plot-hole-fixing aside， this begins the adventure of Kujo Jotaro; his mission to save his mother and the world。 The tale of a Japanese high schooler， his grandfather， his grandfather's Egyptian friend， a friend from high school， a Frenchman， and a dog going to Egypt to kill an immortal vampire who is also his great-great-grandpa and can manipulate time。 Part 3， let's go！ （I will say that Araki's female characters are still。。。awful。 Shallow， annoying， and。。。awful。 The only good ones have been Erina and Lisa Lisa。）Part 3 - Stardust Crusaders has 10 volumes。 。。。more

This is the Most stretched out if the JoJo parts and maybe its the speed i read it but it was still very good with once again i theme of Joestar or in this case Kujo's fighting against evil。 i'm taking away a theme of two is better than one respect your friends because it better on a journey together。 I like the fact of Jotaros relationship with his friend and how he grows to care about old joseph （from part 2） in the story and eventually saves him。 the plot of DIO from part 1 coming back to hun This is the Most stretched out if the JoJo parts and maybe its the speed i read it but it was still very good with once again i theme of Joestar or in this case Kujo's fighting against evil。 i'm taking away a theme of two is better than one respect your friends because it better on a journey together。 I like the fact of Jotaros relationship with his friend and how he grows to care about old joseph （from part 2） in the story and eventually saves him。 the plot of DIO from part 1 coming back to hunt down the joestars bloodline。 the inclusine of stands made this better giving the powers to use made it more interesting also in all of my reviews i write on volume one but have read all the volumes in the part。 i don't like how dragged out it is good but there is slow parts。 i also don't like how much fighting there is no i love the fights but its almost every second there in a new fight without much time to grow as characters。 but i think it is a great read you should try。 。。。more

Podemos hablar de que la madre de Jotaro es fan de Kylie Minogue？ It’s easier to learn than your ABC’s so come on， come on， Do the Loco-Motion with me。

Probably in the minority here， but I think part 3 is the most stretched out part of Jojo's。 It's wonderful， especially in the last third of the series， but I am struggling to get into this as much as I did reading part 2。 Probably in the minority here， but I think part 3 is the most stretched out part of Jojo's。 It's wonderful， especially in the last third of the series， but I am struggling to get into this as much as I did reading part 2。 。。。more

One of my favorite animes。 I finally got around to reading the manga。 The art is glorious and refreshing—Araki never ceases to amaze me！

After watching part one and two， and trying to watch part three， I've decided to read part three。 I'm probably in the minority， but I just couldn't get into part three。 I kind of thought Joseph was annoying， but Jotaro is just insufferable。 I'm really just reading this for DIO's "bewitching sensuality" （yes that is a real quote。 God this manga。。。）I do have to say， so I can protect my reputation as an art snob， that the art is really bad。 Like worse than Fruits Basket。 The anatomy is so strange。 After watching part one and two， and trying to watch part three， I've decided to read part three。 I'm probably in the minority， but I just couldn't get into part three。 I kind of thought Joseph was annoying， but Jotaro is just insufferable。 I'm really just reading this for DIO's "bewitching sensuality" （yes that is a real quote。 God this manga。。。）I do have to say， so I can protect my reputation as an art snob， that the art is really bad。 Like worse than Fruits Basket。 The anatomy is so strange。 Its honestly kind of funny to see these muscle bound men rippling with made up muscles。 DIO looks like a trash bag filled with rocks。 Also why hasn't any one told him how earrings work？As for the plot: I'd say this is a solid start。 The story and rules have been established。 I'm def going to continue。 。。。more

I can easily see why this is the most liked arc of JoJo。 We have multiple generations of JoJo's family， we have new magic， and the return of Phantom Blood's villainous Dio。Also， still super gay。 I can easily see why this is the most liked arc of JoJo。 We have multiple generations of JoJo's family， we have new magic， and the return of Phantom Blood's villainous Dio。Also， still super gay。 。。。more

It was frustrating to keep searching for the right edition since it differ from region to another。 Like this edition started the volume by the first chapter of the stardust crusaders' arc while another had the last chapter of battle tendency as its first chapter！ I ，also， had a hard time accepting the protagonist way of dealing with his mum。 Hope things change with time。 It was frustrating to keep searching for the right edition since it differ from region to another。 Like this edition started the volume by the first chapter of the stardust crusaders' arc while another had the last chapter of battle tendency as its first chapter！ I ，also， had a hard time accepting the protagonist way of dealing with his mum。 Hope things change with time。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Although Stardust Crusaders isn't my favorite part（that has to go to Golden Wind）， Jotaro is undoubtedly my favorite Jojo。 His introduction in the jail cell portrays him as a rude delinquent who dislikes his mother made me hate him at first， but as the volume progressed and we find out that he locked himself because he was afraid of hurting the people around him made me really like Jotaro。 These early chapters of part 3 are probably my favorite out of the entire part。 And as always， Araki's art Although Stardust Crusaders isn't my favorite part（that has to go to Golden Wind）， Jotaro is undoubtedly my favorite Jojo。 His introduction in the jail cell portrays him as a rude delinquent who dislikes his mother made me hate him at first， but as the volume progressed and we find out that he locked himself because he was afraid of hurting the people around him made me really like Jotaro。 These early chapters of part 3 are probably my favorite out of the entire part。 And as always， Araki's art is excellent。 The introduction of stands as a power system is also pretty neat。 。。。more

Un diseño de personajes fabuloso， que es toda una delicia para la vista， y una historia entretenida con bastantes puntos de humor es lo que encontraremos en este primer tomo。Lo único que no me gustó fueron las peleas， que en ocasiones me parecieron un pelín confusas。

Okay， before I start this review （and by review I mean rant） I’m just going to say that I haven’t actually read all of this book: I’ve watched the anime， though。 So yeah。 Basically I just wanted to rant about Polnareff for a while。 Also， SPOILERS ahead。 And I mean spoilers， ‘cause I want to talk about the whole of Stardust Crusaders。Let me get started by talking about POLNAREFF， as I mentioned previously。 Okay， so the main character is supposed to be JOTARO， RIGHT？！ Well then WHY does POLNAREFF Okay， before I start this review （and by review I mean rant） I’m just going to say that I haven’t

about the whole of Stardust Crusaders。Let me get started by talking about POLNAREFF， as I mentioned previously。 Okay， so the main character is supposed to be JOTARO， RIGHT？！ Well then WHY does POLNAREFF get to do so much STUFF THEN？！ It’s all just Polnareff Polnareff Polnareff。 I mean， I like his character， but like。。。 give me a break！ At first he’s just chilling with the gang， but once he hits his first character arc。。。 he practically becomes the main character！ Like move aside， Jotaro， it’s all Polnareff now。 I mean， he gets THREE SEPERATE CHARACTER ARCS。 How many does everyone else get。。。？ NONE？！ AVDOL “DIES” SO THAT HE CAN BECOME EVEN MORE STUPID， GOSH DARN IT！ He starts out as this respectable kinda guy， and then Avdol dies and he starts to get too cocky， and then he kills his fake little sister and then he GETS EVEN MORE STUPID！ Maybe I’m just imagining it and he was just stupid the entire time， but I feel like in each arc he gets just a little bit more idiotic。 And this idiot kills Centerfold while Kakyoin just watched， fights Hol Horse， almost kills Enyaba， helps kill that brain dude， and has a whole two episodes just for him and Judgement， that genie stand！ He does so much！And I’m nowhere near done with him， so sit tight。 He plays a huge part in almost every single stand battle once they make it to Egypt！ Okay， so with the High Priestess， Jotaro beats her， and same with N’Doul （and the only thing he does in the episode is be incredibly annoying and petty， getting our boy Kakyoin’s eyes cut and putting him out of commission for 10 episodes）。 But THEN it’s just Polnareff， pretty much！ He has that whole thing with the sword for two episodes， becomes a baby for another two （and is naked for most of that， eugh。 Although I do have to admit， Silver Chariot as a baby is quite cute）， questions fake Jotaro for an entire episode。。。 and then sells his soul to that gambler dude。 And it only gets worse from there， when he has those two whole episodes in DIO’s mansion！ Polnareff talked about how he wanted to make Polnareffland in Judgement Part I。。。 Judgment must’ve made that come true because that’s what you live in during Stardust Crusaders Battle in Egypt！ It’s just Polnareff！ Jeez！ The only Polnareff free episodes in the whole thing are the ones where Joseph and Avdol are magnetized by Bastet， which is quite the hilarious arc， I might add。 Anyway， with that out of the way， I do have to say that I love Stardust Crusaders！ I mean， it’s not as good as parts 4 and 5， but it’s still funny， action packed， and intense。 I just finished the last few episodes and I was so attached to Kakyoin that I cried a little when he died。 And I don’t cry about any old book or show。 Just saying。 And yes， I knew Kakyoin was going to die before I even started the part。 And I still cried （Yes， I’ve gotten heavily spoiled on this part， and I knew every big plot twist and death that happened in the whole series before I even started episode 1 of Phantom Blood。 Yes， I didn’t care。 Still don’t）。Okay， I’m continuing to rant about Polnareff now。 Get out your popcorn or something。 I don’t REALLY have a problem with Polnareff， I mean。。。 his character design is disgusting and I hate looking at him。。。 but if he looked less nasty then I wouldn’t have as much of a problem with him being the star of the show in most episodes。 Oh wait， I actually do have another problem with the fact that his character undeveloped with each character arc， and the issue isn’t that just dumb， that part’s fine， I mean， he’s allowed to be a funny kind of extrovert。 I love those kind of dumb-yet-still-intelligent characters like Koro Sensei from Assassination Classroom （he may have knowledge， but he doesn’t have common sense， he literally tries to teach his students how to create visual clones of themselves， forgetting that they’re humans） and Mob from Mob Psycho 100 （yes， he’s dumb， have you read the series？ Just because he’s quiet doesn’t mean he gets to escape from the curse of being a middle schooler）， so I don’t really have a problem with in being an absolute idiot。 Just wish he didn’t back track like that with his cockiness and going-off-alone-ness。 Like you’d think that after Iggy and Avdol died that he wouldn’t go off alone anymore。。。 right？ WRONG！ He runs off to fight DIO all by HIMSELF！ TWICE！！！ He’s so stupid！I have a lot to say about that Frenchman， but I’ll stop for now。 Anyway， still giving this 5 stars！ No series has captivated me like this in a long time， so you know that JoJo is special， and the kind of anime/manga you’ll only come across every so often。 This gets my highest recommendations！ 。。。more

So far， I'm not into this story arc as much as I was into Battle Tendency。 Young Jonathan was a more interesting protagonist than Jotaro is， though Jotaro's good too。 I feel that the fights are taking up too much of the plot。 So far， I'm not into this story arc as much as I was into Battle Tendency。 Young Jonathan was a more interesting protagonist than Jotaro is， though Jotaro's good too。 I feel that the fights are taking up too much of the plot。 。。。more

Interesante el comienzo de esta tercera saga。 Incluye varios nuevos elementos （y quizá peca de meter mucha información junta）， pero me copa la estructura nakama a lo One Piece （viaje en barco incluido）。 Jotaro es un buen protagonista。

Con este tomo arranca la nueva saga de Jojos y a diferencia de las primeras dos， las batallas dan un giro sorprendente introduciendo no sólo nuevos personajes sino mecánicas y simbolismos que enriquecen la trama y revitalizan la saga en este nuevo capítulo de la demencial obra del maestro Araki。El nuevo protagonista Jotaro se distingue completamente de Jonathan y Joseph porque es mucho más rudo y arisco que ambos， pero tiene un corazón noble y es sensible a ciertas cosas。 El capítulo introductor Con este tomo arranca la nueva saga de Jojos y a diferencia de las primeras dos， las batallas dan un giro sorprendente introduciendo no sólo nuevos personajes sino mecánicas y simbolismos que enriquecen la trama y revitalizan la saga en este nuevo capítulo de la demencial obra del maestro Araki。El nuevo protagonista Jotaro se distingue completamente de Jonathan y Joseph porque es mucho más rudo y arisco que ambos， pero tiene un corazón noble y es sensible a ciertas cosas。 El capítulo introductorio del tomo me pareció una forma increíble de introducir al personaje。 Su actitud， las bromas， la situación que lo llevó a la cárcel y la aparición de Joseph hacen que el primer tomo introduzca a la perfección al nuevo protagonista y sus nuevas dinámicas de combate。La aparición de Joseph se me hizo muy significativa， con mucho crecimiento se nota que el anterior Joseph no es el mismo que conocimos en Battle Tendency。De los nuevos personajes， y sus stands， mi favorito es Polnareff。 Su actitud contrasta perfectamente con la de Jotaro y se nota que al igual que César Zepelli， será un personaje que vuelva un poco más dinámica la trama y que mantenga el humor y la emoción de la trama。 Es un personaje que se nota tiene una historia de sufrimiento profunda detrás y será muy interesante ver cómo crece。El villano de Stardust Crusaders， Dio， me gusta。 Es bastante bueno que tras los sucesos de Phantom Blood lo volvamos a ver。 No hemos visto mucho de Dio en acción， ni siquiera habló tanto pero nos faltan 7 tomos dobles más para acabar la historia， así que el maestro Araki tiene mucho tiempo para construir esto。La manera en la que funcionan los stand， los espíritus que acompañan a los personajes， es bastante interesante。 Cada personaje tiene un stand diferente que toma su nombre de un color y de una tarjeta del tarot。 Me gustó mucho que el maestro Araki tomó el tarot para añadirle una nueva capa de profundidad a su historia。 Los villanos menores que pelean contra los protagonistas en este tomo aparecen en una situación que se relaciona con la carta que representan， eso es bastante interesante y es una estructura narrativa que aunque típica en los cómics， no es muy común verla en el manga y agradecí mucho un detalle así de profundo。 Este capítulo pone la vara muy alta para el resto de Stardust Crusaders y espero que la calidad se mantenga en los siguientes tomos。 。。。more

I first got into JoJo because of the memes that plagued everywhere I went。 Then when I watched the anime I recognized the sheer creativity and nuance hidden in JoJo's。 I finally understood the hype。 The manga blows that all out of the water。 The hard work that Hirohiko Araki put in to make JJBA a unique and a rather flamboyant series。 The artwork is phenomenal and has come along way from part 1 but still has a ways to go till part 8 level artstyle。 Overall I say that if you haven't read JoJo's B I first got into JoJo because of the memes that plagued everywhere I went。 Then when I watched the anime I recognized the sheer creativity and nuance hidden in JoJo's。 I finally understood the hype。 The manga blows that all out of the water。 The hard work that Hirohiko Araki put in to make JJBA a unique and a rather flamboyant series。 The artwork is phenomenal and has come along way from part 1 but still has a ways to go till part 8 level artstyle。 Overall I say that if you haven't read JoJo's Bizarre Adventure read it even if you watched the anime。 Its a story worth experiencing twice。 A story of punching ghosts， gay vampires， and family。 It just works。 。。。more

There is a massive up-tick in quality here， as part 3 of JBA begins。 A lot of people will advise to just start with Stardust Crusaders， and while this volume is absolutely awesome， I am thankful for having read the previous arcs， and the context they provide。 A lot of problematic elements are resolved by this series， and the characters are a lot of fun。 The concept of Stands is just incredible， and knowing the little bits ahead I do， I'm stoked to keep riding along。 There is a massive up-tick in quality here， as part 3 of JBA begins。 A lot of people will advise to just start with Stardust Crusaders， and while this volume is absolutely awesome， I am thankful for having read the previous arcs， and the context they provide。 A lot of problematic elements are resolved by this series， and the characters are a lot of fun。 The concept of Stands is just incredible， and knowing the little bits ahead I do， I'm stoked to keep riding along。 。。。more
