I don’t talk about Jojolion really.
As a matter of fact, I haven’t talked about much as of recent.
Being sick is a wild ride.
But, over that time I spent stuck in my bed, I caught up with a lot I wasn’t able to
catch up on.
With JoJolion I wanted to go over some of the early areas that I held a lot of interest
in, but there was one thing in specific that I wanted to go over.
Tamaki Damo, to me he seemed like the ideal antagonist.
The level of engagement I had for when his character had shown up versus the rest of
early JoJolion was unmatched honestly because it was one of the moments where it seemed
like everything was coming together and Tamaki had looked like a huge part of the plot as
a whole.
The thing is…
He was.
He just had a relatively short time being in the Part and that’s what puzzled me,
because I believed that Tamaki had potential on being the antagonist in Part 8.
First going about his design.
When it comes to JoJo, we’ve had our fair share of interesting antagonist.
Most designs being well built men with something huge to define them, be it their hair, clothing,
or something else that we know the character for.
Though I feel that when it comes to the case of Tamaki he would be in the same ball-park
as Kira because of the more normal take.
Except that while Kira is more so an every-day man, Tamaki seems like the scummy boss archetypes
we saw in movies from the 70’s and 80’s, and I loved that.
He’s a hustler.
If the man wants something, he doesn’t even need others to be the ones to do so.
That’s why when it came to his attack on the Higashikata household, I thought that
was a great arc.
Plus, the idea that he’s this huge cunning and suave man that could even get into the
home to begin was hilarious.
Speaking of his character.
I love the ability to shift.
Originally only being a man of few words and casually letting Hato go about everything
for him while he’s just there, into this extremely menacing home invader.
When he understands that he’s the one with the better positioning, you don’t really
see him take that cocky approach where he’s extremely over the top against the other person.
He isn’t exactly subtle because he’s extremely condescending when doing it but he doesn’t
pop off.
Actually, when it comes to all of Tamaki, I never saw him pop off in general.
Only time I can recall is when he originally could get answers out of Norisuke and when
he viewed what Josefumi and Kira did a thing that cocky children would do.
So, he himself doesn’t like being outplayed or toyed around with which is ironic.
There’s a superiority complex in there I would think.
Now with what had been done, if Tamaki was able to escape after getting beat up for a
bit by Hato, it would’ve set up more for the grand scheme of things.
We would now have a threat to the Higashikata family so everyone would have to be on their
toes and wouldn’t be able to be at a full rest until everything is figured out.
I also expected that Damo would go back to his people and try to organize more to take
care of his problem with Josuke and the household.
I don’t want to interfere with what’s happening right now in the plot, but I’m
not sure yet on how I would’ve liked to have seen stuff incorporated.
I’ll probably follow up later and make a “What if” video circulating around the
topic when I get everything together.
I hope to more Jojolion in the future.
Thank you all for watching.
I’ve been gone for a while because I’ve been sick so sorry for that.
Not sorry that I was sick because I don’t control my immune system like that.
Give me until we got nanobots and we’ll be good.
Hopefully, I’ll see you all in the next one!
Until then, peace out and God speed.
