[Introduction] So, Part 5 right around the corner, I believe
that I should be doing some DIU videos before I massively dedicate a lot of time to our
newest animated Part.
The one of the many things I see the fans love are these types of videos where I give
all my thoughts on the characters at hand so I’m going to be doing that here with
the Morioh Warriors.
Josuke and Jotaro won’t be here because they’re in my Joestar video and if I’m
missing someone, most likely I don’t have much to say on them or I have something remotely
soon planned.
So, onto our first ally.
[Koichi] Koichi is a cool character and personally,
he’s my indicator that DiU is not a fully protagonist based anime.
It’s odd that I’m saying this because all of JoJo doesn’t fully just focus on
the protagonist except for Battle Tendency, but there’s percentages to it if anything.
DiU gave so much to Koichi and Kira in specific in my opinion and I love it all for the better.
Koichi’s development throughout the part is probably the most evident for people, but
there’s a lot more to that development than the face value approach.
I think the easiest thing to refer to is Meti’s video on Koichi.
I’ll put up a card for it.
For what I love or what I think about when I think of the character, wrath and Echoes.
Each time that I see Koichi move on into a new Act, I love seeing the raw emotion that
we get from it.
Echoes Act 3 is probably my all-time favorite moments for Koichi, including when he was
trying to finally destroy Kira, but he ended up getting smacked up immediately.
It was a great time.
Also, since I won’t be able to connect this over since there isn’t going to be an excerpt
here on the trinity of the Morioh Warriors, I’m going to be talking about that dynamic.
Josuke, Koichi, and Okuyasu is a group that I would be fine with if they had some sort
of OVA type deal going about Morioh in the original Slice of Life way that they were
going about.
Like just having little talks here and there, checking up on each other and backing each
other up for everything.
It’s so fun to see it all!
I think the best showing of that all is when they were in the Yukako arc where they were
all pretty involved with each other.
I know that a lot of people aren’t with the neutral area of DiU, but to be honest
with you, I rest pretty easy with all of that.
I could go for a lot more of it too, if it doesn’t mess with the main plot.
[Okuyasu] Now there’s Okuyasu!
I think for those that are subbed already that know my interest with the character.
The easiest thing I’ve shown for my interest was my character study on him.
I want to say I want to talk about what doesn’t relate to his brother, but a lot of his character
is due to his huge connection with Keicho.
Though I will say that I love who he became after finally following his own direction
and letting Keicho rest.
We also see the first sign of him utilizing The Hand with how he completely disabled Kira.
It would’ve been so cool to see him do a bit more after.
I just wish that we had DiU adapted into a separate series of manga that runs completely
different than our regular one does.
[Yukako] Then, there’s Yukako.
The obvious thing here would be to go about how insane her love is for Koichi, and I really
do want to talk about her in a different light, but I can’t think of that much off what
I’ve seen.
Obviously, something to go about is how threatening she is and that’s always something that
people love.
But aside from that, there isn’t that much.
She’s a very strong girl and I actually believe that I’d like to see her better
positions for story, it would be nice to see her own fights against enemy stand users or
something like that, but probably not going to happen.
The good thing about this though is that I know that Araki knows when to elaborate on
characters.
No spoilers here, but maybe this elaborate doesn’t take place in DiU.
Maybe… it’s a lot different.
Completely unrelated topic…
I have a lot to say on Jojolion characters.
[Rohan] Now on Rohan!
With my reasonably large amount of involvement in art, my love in Rohan grew a lot bigger
than when I had first seen him or when I had first covered him in his character analysis.
Even when it was still pretty big.
The strides taken and the lengths he goes to push for his motives is amazing to me.
Also, with his life already being happening, and still having an end-game to it, it makes
a lot of sense that we would have the whole Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe series and his other
one-shots.
There’s so much to work with for his character and it’s more so about changing up his environment
while still retaining the Rohan that we have.
His One-Shots were a want that I had when finishing up DiU and when I found out about
them, I just got even more involved in his character than before.
He’s such a lively character and while a lot of his emotions aren’t exactly nice,
I love him for it.
His most notable thing for me must be his ambition and passion for when he talks about
his art or being right.
I think that’s more of a common thing in general with me though so I’m probably more
biased than the average person.
The feeling of seeing someone talk about what they’re most passionate about is probably
one of the best things ever for me.
The raw emotion you see from it, and I’m not sure what’s the wording for it because
they can even talk about the bad areas of what they like, and it all sounds positive.
There’s when Rohan was explaining his motives to Koichi and Hazmada, Rohan against Highway
Star, Rohan against the butler kid in Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe and I think I could mention
more, but if you don’t read up on the other ones it wouldn’t make sense so I’ll just
keep that off for now for when I do make a video recommending it all.
I also need to talk to Viz or something about serializing it and all the parts, because
man, people want to buy manga.
That’s probably enough for Rohan, if you want to hear more, there’s my character
analysis on him and honestly that’s one of my more favorite videos.
Not cause the content, cause it’s Rohan.
[Shigechi] I had a choice of which characters I wanted
to mention here, so the next one is Shigechi.
One common thing I see that people talk about with Shigechi is how much they don’t like
him.
I understand that seeing Shigechi be selfish is messed up to those watching it from Josuke
and Okuyasu’s perspective, but you have to think about this.
Their first couple of thoughts on Shigechi was about how could they use him and his stand
Harvest to get financial benefits, to say more than necessary.
Though I will say that Shigechi’s wrath is a bit over the top when going against them,
so I can’t reason on why that’s fine obviously, because it is.
Though why it happens is most likely off the fact that Shigechi is an extremely lonely
kid and most likely he’s one that got bullied before.
There’s a reason why our first instance of seeing him is him sitting alone with Harvest.
Personally, I think that’s what Araki was truly going for when making Shigechi.
Making him one of those bullied types while also making him an extremely prominent stand
user doesn’t look too out of the ordinary.
Especially when Yukako was made to show that even with what she believes in being more
circulated around love, she shouldn’t be one to undermine.
For what happened to Shigechi, I genuinely thought that this was a sad moment.
The fight for life in defense of his own family and putting that together with his reliance
on the only person or people he sees as a close friend or friends.
Then it all being ended by one of the hardest predictions in the show.
[Tonio] The last character is going to be Tonio off
the weight of his character in Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe.
With Pearl Jam, my general understanding of the stand is that you’ll need the required
ingredients to be able to treat specific ailments.
You can’t just cure stuff with run of the mill ingredients.
That being said, I want to describe what happens in Episode 6, but at that point I’m just
spoiling so you might as well just read it.
He’s a very determined and loving person, there’s a lot more to his character than
we see in Part 4.
The arc itself isn’t enough to fully go about his character, so I highly suggest Episode
6 of Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe along with the whole series.
Though I think that’ll be enough for me.
[Outro] Thank you all for watching!
I think the biggest take-away from this is probably anything Rohan-related.
Though what I loved about making this video is not having that much to say about characters
I’ve already covered on
the channel.
If I don’t get what I want to say about a character out, you’ll see me talk a lot
about them in these types of videos.
So!
Probably expect more Hunter stuff alone with Part 5.
Hopefully, I’ll see you all in the next one!
Until then, peace out and God speed.
