Rohan vs. Yoma (2) 

Even after all that running they still couldn’t catch Joseph Joestar

I love Rohan doesn't even have to draw in the air anymore to use Heaven's Door. The A in potential really meant something. Imagine in 5 years where it'll evolve even more

Man the fact that Rohan can read the reports on another man’s arm while running on a treadmill is impressive

1:33 This part, to me, it's intense like The Joestar mansion burning

絶体絶命でシリアスな展開だと言うのはわかっているけど、どうしても笑ってしまうw

Now i am motivated go to the gym

Got to admit when a normal person in this situation is kinda scary Just imagine running in the treadmill meanwhile no wall to support

Nothing like running at top speed with the threat of falling out a building to get the blood pumping.

Only JoJo can make running on a treadmill entertainment.

This is as close as a "Slice-of-life" arc we'll get in Jojo.

The part that kills me comes after this, when Yoma falls and Rohan is tempted to look and see if he died... But then he goes ''FUCK. THAT. I've seen enough horror movies to know that's not a good idea; that dude could be waiting for me to look. I'm out!'' and just leaves. I love how Rohan's awareness of tropes and cliches as a writer is used for him to make meta jokes like that.

me: why did rohon cheat? yoma: Killed numerous people me: Understandable have a great day

Jeez JoJo makes everything intense

I see both of them get ready to learn the Joestar secret technique.

Yoma: *Breaks 3 Rohan’s finger” Also Yoma: “This is fairness. We must not hold any grudges afterwards”

Reminder that Rohan had no context for Yoma up until this point. He didn’t know about his obsessive escalation leading to this dreaded run. All he knew was that Yoma was some guy he beat in a previous treadmill match and then all of a sudden he’s fucking insane and inhuman and also a serial killer.

One subtle detail I love is the difference between their running forms. How Youma keeps a perfectly composed running pose while Rohan's gets more and more chaotic, floundering his arms around.

If there's one thing Yoma likes to do, is to put his victims encased in cement and that's more petty than Kira imo

This was the episode that won me over to the OVA. I love how it looks, wouldn’t mind seeing an art-style like this when they eventually get to Part 6.

Yoma is legit scarier than many villains in JoJo. Also props to Rohan for keeping up with a god-tier athlete there.

What's scary is even after this Rohan lives in fear of Youma possibly returning. Youma scared the hell out of our boy.

Imagine running at full speed while talking the whole time

This is why I never go to the gym.

Imagine if it wasnt Rohan but Josuke or Jotaro,the treadmill itself would've start running

He may be ripped enough to be possessed by Hermes , but he can never be ripped enough to get possessed by Johnathan Joestar

Wouldn’t mind seeing more adventures of Rohan if they existed. Hell knows it is actually quite fun to see how he is able to get out of these seemingly impossible situations like “you will not seek out Rohan after dying,” or what we saw here for having his treadmill turn off even though he couldn’t get the remote.

Yoma is a Part 3 Character

Jojo can make playing cards, video games, lottery tickets, eating in a restaurant and running on a treadmill intense. What else Jojo can't do??

I said it in the awaken hermes video and ill say it again very slowly: THIS. IS. NOT. A. STAND. Its just the god hermes possessing youma because the guy is interested in being a chad so the god of chads responds accordingly

殺した人間全員セメントで固めてて草

Imagine Sandman walk in and run at 40 km/h

Yoma after Rohan dies: *C E M E N T*

その後の橋本ようまがどうなったかわからないところに、奇妙さがあっていいね。

My favorite Rohan chapter, and favorite OVA adaption. This has the package: a good mystery, a good build up, a good pay off, an obsessive and insidious villain, and Rohan facing a great adversity. Perfectly paced and intense as hell.

露伴がここまで焦るほどの相手ってかなりヤベー奴だろ

漫画家の指を折るやべぇ奴

スタンドに近い能力を持ってる殺人鬼なんだから野放しにせずに始末しないとまずい気がする

殺人鬼と縁がありすぎる露伴！ゲームの為に人を殺しておいて素直の勝利を喜ぶこの男の狂気は非常に恐ろしい

岸辺露伴は動かないはヘブンズドアー以外スタンド出てこないのにこんな気持ち悪いのほんとすごい。飛呂彦好き。

I like how jojo made such simple stuff like running on a treadmill to be the most dramatic and epic fights

0:12 I'm suprised that the sky isn't orange

*”this is just a game”* *proceed to makes a deathmatch*

3:04 how I sound when I lose at something.

筋肉の神にとりつかれた男に張り合ってるんだから先生の身体能力も十分化物

下にいた人ダンベル落ちてきてめっちゃ驚いてるだろうな

Stone ocean? Araki: No Rohan OVA? Araki: YES YES YES YES YES YES

露伴先生結構化け物じゃね？

For those asking why Yoma went flying. There was a lapse in concentration on his part for a split second at 2:56, causing him to trip, the treadmill belt was obviously heading in the direction of the window, causing Yoma to go flying out of it.

What I like about Youma, unlike most of the other jojo villians there is no fear in his eyes when he lost, just pure cold anger because he outsmarted. It makes sense why Rohan also scared of him.

露伴も身体能力バケモンで草 これもスタンドのお陰か？

2:06-2:08 Jojo constipation at it's finest.

1:47 is the best part. He seems so stressed and defeated😂😂

2:23 He actually got possessed by Ghiaccio

ジャンケン小僧といい露伴はギャグ戦闘似合うなw

自分から仕掛けておいてルールが追加されたとはいえ反則するとは流石っす

Guys you might think im going crazy but i think this is a jojo reference

1:40 diavolo running from requiem

ちなみに時速25kmは、50m走を7.2秒で走る換算になります

すさまじい身体能力だけど決して人間が到達できない領域ではないところに狂気とリアリティを感じる

Technically, the place is at fault imo. There's a chance that not only Yoma has fall back from the treadmill. Besides, who tf placed the treadmill back away from the town view

2:08 the face Rohan makes when he see Josuke Edit: Thanks for 50+ likes

怪異じゃなくてもこういう男現実にいるから、リアルで一番怖かったわ

*Imagine walking down the street and then a 20kg dumbbell drops on top of you.*

My takeaway is that Yoma is built like an Adonis, obsessively spends every second of his day on optimizing his workout, and is literally possessed by a Greek God. And it was STILL a photo finish against Rohan. Rohan even matched him rep for rep on the bench. What juice is Rohan on???

I wonder if the voice actors was running on a treadmill as well

1:31 I recall this scene when I work out and it gives me tons of motivation

こいつだと壁を登ってきて「ラウンド2〜」とか言ってきそう

That final look Yoma gives Rohan as he falling always gives mi chills

every thing is so detail and the animation is so smooth. I'm looking forward to part 6

Why do I feel like this is the vibe I'm gonna get when steel ball run is animated.

0:45 когда заходишь в комнату, где батя спит с работающим теликом, и собираешься выключить телевизор пультом

露伴先生、漫画家だよな......？

I like this OVA rohan hair style, DiU kinda focused on making him look sort of epic or something

Honestly i've watched this sequence numerous times before, and as an artist, my respect for the people who worked on this is truly high. I'm constantly floored not only how they somehow managed to make an anime with as much attention to detail and precision as the manga. They also some how got it to move seamlessly. And then there's the amazing cuts and shots they make, the great tie-ins from the music department in conjunction with the anime. Fantastic sound design, phenomenal voice acting. The tension, the stakes, JoJo I swear to god is the only show I always feel like the protagonists actually could very well effing die at any moment. Like yeah, they'll live. But jesus christ, I don't know how to describe it. Any other anime you just kind of role your eyes and you're like "yeah they'll get back up and whoop their ass or get away" And i'm consciously aware of that in JoJo. But jesus christ, the protagonists take DAMAGE in this show, and many times it's more than half a damn miracle they manage to live. You truly do feel like it's genuine luck or unrivaled wits they're even still alive. But that's off the point. Truly, the team behind this show absolutely blows my mind. They're just running on treadmills for frucks sake. But the way they managed to constantly induce new pressure by giving new perspectives and reiterating some cuts and effects in new ways is just. Awesome, truly awesome. I keep coming back to this part of the story, it's just utterly captivating to me. Good job JoJo team, the work you guys put into this show is truly a fantastic representation of a beloved series thats been endlessly giving quality content to its fans for decades. And what you do almost I swear to you feels like a love letter to a manga series you truly adore. Thanks for all you do jojo team, this stuff is fantastic.

“We must not hold grudges against each other after this” Oh yeah that’s rich coming from the guy specifically calling this a “revenge Match”

I really love the animation. I feel like I'm watching Part 7 already.

Heaven's door is still to this day, one of the most powerful stands and Rohan uses it so perfectly

who would've thought that one of the most intense anime scenes would occur on a treadmill

ドラマ版よりテンポ速くて見やすい まぁドラマ版もその分のじわじわくる感動があるんだけどね

うっちーがこういう役やるの珍しくて、嬉しい

"After this, we have not grudges, right?" Legit loses and gets a grudge on Rohan*

Hopefully part 7 looks good like this or better, it’s looking more like how araki’s artstyle is now amazing :D

Easily one of Jojo's most intense moments ever

Rohan: i despise cheaters, Josuke. I’ll do anything to prove you’re cheating Also Rohan: lol hebunzu doā go BRRRR

His mistake was thinking "fairness" meant anything in the world of Jojo. In Jojo, if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying.

1:34 このリズム感すこ

You cut out one of the best parts- after Yoma went out the window, Rohan quickly got out of the room. He was so scared of Yoma that he didn't even bother looking outside the broken window because he was thinking Yoma is just hanging the outside wall, waiting for Rohan to peak outside the broken window so he could attack him.

何やってんだこいつら

"I know that when I look out that window, I'll die. So I won't." This man has plot on his brain 24-7 Pays to be a novelist.

I've never seen such intense running in any show. Except Jojo.

When Rohan used his stand, Yoma noticed that. That means Yoma already became standuser by physical trainings only. Araki wrote that even Hamonusers can reach stands, but in very rare cases after hard work. Interesting what is the ability of Yoma's stand

I like the fact that they can jump to the side and avoid death, but they insist on running

手を怪我してるのに走れてるのすごい！

2:23 the scene was so intense that Yoma became Ghiaccio.

1:19 The way and reasons why Yoma killed his victims... Morioh has a serious problem with supernatural serial killers

こいつスタンド使い？露伴のヘヴンズドアー見えてる？

1:32 HOLY SHIT! I didn't notice it before, but the song that starts playing at 1:32 is the one that plays when Dio has Senator Phillips run over pedestrians to chase Joseph and Kakyoin! The one labelled for some reason as "Vanilla Ice theme", even though it doesn't play during his fight!

The animation in this OVA is fucking beautiful, good job on David Production god damn!

2:22 hey that's kira's line

About the discussion if Hermes is a stand or not: We can speculate that god=stand. Not because of the egyptian gods in part 3, since in part 3 the stands had their names named by tarot, and because of that most people can say that those are just stands with gods names, and not really gods. But in this scene Yoma notice that Heaven's door used his power against him, so we could say that Yoma posses stand powers because of Hermes, and subjectively say that Hermes can be considered a stand originated by the real greek god
