The Evolution of Death in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure 

Ffs I almost watched the rest. Also great video I just the first 10 minutes and so far it's great I'll finish it once I finish watching part 5

Thank you for finally warning us.

wtf why no p6 or 7?

Narancia's Fate was sealed the moment he was named after the Italian word for 🍊

I read this after you said the name of the first guy who died in P5

Dio's mother had the highest impact. It literally kick started the villains quest for power and hatred of the world.

danny and speedwagon death are most heartbreaking until part 5

Can you at least give a disclaimer yo?

@@HyperRanch it's a joke

@@bluecollarcommentator7772 no it's a spoiler what do you mean?

HyperRanch Narancia doesn’t die lmao, it’s a joke. I read the manga

A list of spiritual Zeppelis: Avdol Iggy Kakyoin Shigechi Bucciarati Abbacchio Narancia Polnareff (lives on as a turtle but still) Okuyasu and Koichi could have been up there, but they just won't die.

@@lmahu6627 Okuyasu died, but ressurected.

*A dog appears* Araki intensified

@@lmahu6627 hey, if anything Polnareff would be happy as a turtle I'd think, consider this, he couldn't even walk anymore before, but now he can just vibe along as a turtle, and considering that turtles can live for a super long time, it makes things even better.

@@lmahu6627 Remember, Caesar had a lot of siblings. Maybe Bucciarati was a Zeppeli descendant

Just like King Crimson.

DAMN IT I WAE GONNA SAY THAT

GET OUT!

Aldrin Limos Eh, I just had to stop that part when he used that stupid criticism (if you can even call bullshit that) on Jonathan. He wasn't around for long but that was what made the audience realize that literally everyone can die. And that stupid "It was drawn out" part made me want to punch the RU-vidr for saying that about the *main character* . Do you want it to happen in a minute? Take example like Shigeshi or Caesar.m, these deaths are still long. Not disagreeing with that deaths are better portrayed im the later arcs but is some major hate boner for part 1.

@@balabanasireti. I thought it was kind of weird too

Yeah i was thinking the same thing ;-;

Not really he gave his goodbye to Joseph by screaming before getting crushed which Joseph heard. It doesn't help that Caesar's death only happened because Caesar got triggered at Joseph for no reason.

what about loggins

isuru Fuck AC/DC yo

@@Simpsonsfan1011 no bro he was triggered because Joseph unintentionally talked down to Caesar's and his grandfathers, to you, it's nothing, but to an Italian like Caesar, it's plain disrespectful, use your brain next time

Wtf Einstein go back to your time, your not supposed to be alive silly goose

And, in the anime, the name of the opening is "Sono Chi no Sadame", which literally translates to "The legacy of your blood".

What a nice comment

Your comment gave me chills, I don't know why but it did

Bro the name of the part was a much later decision.

i know it joke but danny didnt deserve such a rough way to go for being near Dickhead Brando

To become a man, the boy must die. It’s a tale as old as time.

It's important for his arc though :'(

Fr tho, the second he started talking, I wanted him to stop, he was so happy about what he would do after but it was so obvious what was about to happen.

@Kakatte Koi! Are you saying Dire isn't a major death? He invented the Thunder Cross Split Attack! The perfect mix of attack and defence! It's the perfect stratagem!

kakyoin must be a rencarnation of dire, because all of them have technique no one can defend or deflect

Iggy's death was like a kick in the gut.

Have you seen yhe ova version

Felt even worse in the anime, because after waiting for a week crying over polnareff "death", you are happy to find out he was saved just to then remember iggy was gravely injured and see him die. A literal rollercoaster of emotion.

Part 3 hit badly. Avdol, Iggy... Kakyoin... There were too many...

Ok sure iggy was bad but danny was kneed in the face and burned alive. Poor Danny.

Lad... Danny got done dirty!

Tiagorpg mendes i think Danny was a a major death kinda but

Not to mention its a very meaningful death. Though its brief and Danny wasnt really a character, it was a perfect way to showcase Dio's cruelty. How far he'd go to hurt Jonathan. Of course its Dio kissing Erina that actually pushes him over the edge. Rip Danny.

Tackson Caswell doesn’t Danny get killed as revenge for the first fight after Dio kissed Erina

Also Dario Brando.

He stopped thinking, though.

@@lmahu6627 yet he straight up cant die

Kars is basically functionally dead. Though tbh I wonder what would happen if he landed on a planet that happened to be capable of supporting life. Would he leave hibernation, or would he be so mentally broken that he'd just continue to be a statue? These are the real questions.

Joseph joestar:no

@@beingmegucaissuffering.5326 He should land on Mikitaka's planet, if he really is an alien

Johnny, The Tormentor What's even worse is that somewhere(I think in the Purple Haze light novel), it states that before his death, Illuso regretted every bad decision he made.

Jackie Chang I don't count PHF because, even tho it's fucking awesome it is also not canon

@@johnny_my_penls_is_small_but it is canon actually.

@@EsotericLiquid *With Fugo's backstory in the anime pretty much contradicting the dead relative backstory in PHF*

@@kaedenle except for the fact that the dead relative story is within the manga and not the anime. The anime was the one who made Fugo a sexual assault victim. Manga > Anime when considering canon

҉ Mista Gio has a bit of that Brando blood in him, so his righteous Joestar side is a little tainted by that

@҉ Mista he IS a Brando

AyaridesudesuPoi no because DIO and JoJo’s blood were mixed soooo

҉ Mista Aye, I was expecting him to talk about the ‘retired’ system from Part 3 and then the ‘fucking dead’ system from Part 5.

Imagine how fucking ballsy that would've been

As an immortal you kinda notice a bunch of people around you dying...

The problem is that most ppl hate shigechi

Yeah, I was crying as much as Narancia was. I wasn’t crying like how i usually did-silent-but as soon as these deaths came on, i bawled like a baby, like I just lost a friend all of the sudden.

F

Also i am part of the population of people who cried/felt bad for some villain’s death

Same, I cried more because Narancia cried

As soon as abbachio died and Narnancia asked if they were just gonna leave him there I had to skip the rest of the episode and spent the rest of my life fucking crying

and then part 6 prisoners against a priest with a so-called fucking pure motive

Part 7: People with good intentions who tries to do good things vs A dude with good intentions that does bad things In part 7 you can even make a case that the villain had better motives than the heroes, but made bad choices

zen0524 Well yeah he feels terrible about ruining his brother's life and wants to make up for it and basically goes insane in achieving heaven. Poor Pucci

Part 8 continues that with there being no real villian

@@yotsuyuyagiyama2443 none to pursue at least

SONNUVABITCH

OMG

I think he means mechanically uninteresting. Zeppelli was awesome as a character, but he wasn't exactly novel or groundbreaking, and his status as a mentor basically sealed his fate from the start.

Zeppeli sucked ass and I'm surprised that there's people who actually liked the character.

@@piranhazzzzz same. Ceaser was a much better character, and an even better zeppeli (but Gyro is better)

Shreakisluv Ceasar was a good character. But he had the development of an untouched rotting cucumber

@@blank6165 thats true

and zepelli, that frog punching, wine drinking, lake skipping, top hat wearing, mustached lovable guy

Dio's reaction also to me, sad. Because for the first time he actually felt worried about Jonathan like a brother but it was too late

Yeah I thought the same

nope, diavolo killed narancia deliberately because of his radar stand

Johnny-san yep, same with me, sadly

Greto daze

"I look forward to see what part 2 has in store for me." Greatness.

Now that I've watched the entire video, I can safely say: Well done video, for a well written series. Keep up the good work :D

When you like antagonists that's even more weird, bc their death often kinda reveals their character the most and if minor antagonist shows up, it's given that they will die in ca. two episodes

Well, we almost there with Abbacchio

Well we have them now

I know I’m late but the yes it’s okay that you were looking forward to it. IMO it made the death scenes more powerful and heartbreaking. So yeah DP did a fantastic job and left me heartbroken and questioning the meaning of life so 10/10.

RayGstrike 56 Part 9? Hahaha

@@DoganME don't laugh, it'll happen. Araki is immortal, remember? Hes got time...........actually maybe even that won't be enough time for him..

you forgot killing the owner of the dog instead of the dog in part 6

His death was really a shocker to me. Never thought he was gonna die like that. (Too bad we're gonna have to go through a hiatus before we know what happened to you know who)

This was painful to read. It will probably hurt a lot more once we see the rest of the story (or maybe we are being bamboozled).

Who died?

@@whattheactualfu1828 Read the manga.

@@AzraelSoulHunter i don't want to read the manga. I want to know who died. So, who died?

It was the most crushing for me too. His and gyro's deaths

perkedel Mista technically is responsible for all the deaths because of the Sleeping Slaves arc (the stand was called Rolling Stones I think)

@@bruceasiandude8979 Yes, that's right. He can't change the fate of someone who's going to die.

@@milky517 But he did change the fate of two persons who weren't actually going to die.

@@Patronaros you can just kill more people.

Either Bruno dies there or its delayed but Abaccio and Narancia are thrown into the mix. Pick your poison.

Also the fact that Dio gave life to his body in a messed up way makes it feel disgusting. Which makes Jotaro Wrecking Dio much more satisfying for the viewer

@@linusmota9712 Not only that, but Jotaro also split Dio up the middle the same way Jonathan did

As much as i hate DIO, i gotta admit i feel bad when he was "crying" in pain.

He did not die for nothing. Jonathan spent his last few moments in-between choking in his own blood a) making sure Erina would survive b) blow up the boat so that he and Dio sink and perish... the second part did not entirely work due to Dio's luck BUT in the entirety of part 3 his desecration allowed the Joestars to access their stand abilities AND his body was resisting Dio, downgrading his physical prowess and vampire powers (hence Dio's reliance on The World ...). So no. Jonathan pretty much gave his children the right tools to wreck DIO, even implicitly...

So is Joseph, Jotaro, Josuke, Giorno, and Jolyne considered "nothing"?

I'd have to disagree. I thought Narancia's death was done really well. I love how moments before it happens we get a monologue of what he plans to do when everything is over and we have some nice hope, then it happens and even us the readers are left confused. You do get to see the characters lament the death, especially Giorno noting that his body is an empty shell and all he can do is return his own soul into it, plus turning the body into flowers. The reason no one completely stops is cause they know Diavolo is on the move and letting their guard down will result in another loss. Narancia was one of my favorites so this scene really hit me.

You spoiled my best friend about Gyro and he's in tears 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@epitaph574 thats how passione works Read the mango

AFAIK Avdol was supposed to die when he got shot, but fans asked Araki to bring him back and so he then died like that the 2nd time. I dont remember where I read it though.

I agree and disagree because Abbacchio's death may have been approached more masterfully, I think it was so beautifully done, but it didn't sadden me nearly as much as Narancia. I belive it depends on how much you are connected to the characters which decides our feelings towards them when they die. The way the death is handled can only amplify the emotion

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CLTWWgKDZQg.html

You actually serious?

How is this happiness? How is death happiness?

Arigato...

he was going to have to die one day, might as well have died saving his kid

Aren't Johnny's and Jotaro's death the same? They both die saving their kids. Plus, maybe it has more relevance in the future?

@@messyroommate6691 yeah they are pretty similar, its just that johnny having a shitty life makes it alot hurt more (jotaro and joylne also kinda got revived at the end). Idk i just wanted johnny to have a better life.

Johnny is the Steelball version of Johnattan. He was going to die no matter what. Remember what Pucci said about Gravity? Weird shit happens will always happen to stand users that's how the world works.

Don't forget the fabulous Aztec Gods of Fitness.

What's sad is that the sleeping slaves arc exist, (the one with the rolling stone that can predict someone's death) Bruno, narancia and abbachio would've died regardless wether they were going to fight the boss or not...because the stone's last form was the heads of those three characters... Also, I'm not sure if la squadra could've talked it out with Bruno's gang since la squadra wanted to continue the drug trade, something Bruno would definitely and strongly disagree with. Still wished that we could've seen more of la squadra tho...

Screw you Fugo doesn't desserve to die Smh -Read Purple Haze Feedback scrub-

@@raikoedgymoto sorry, Fugo was kinda meh to me, especially after left.

Araki loving Fugo soo much he didn't wanna see him dead..

U clearly haven't read PHF

Of course we gotta talk about Caesar’s death. It was powerful, noble, moving, while still being functional. Caesar was a big dummy-head for wanting to fight the Pillarmen head-on, and he was quite arrogant at times. He came to accept his death, at least enough to throw the baton to Joseph. It’s as if Araki is restating something that could be interpreted from William A Zeppeli’s death, but this time more effectively- **fate is cruel.** Seeing Lisa Lisa break down was the final blow that made me cave in. Maybe it’s because of how strong she is, always being a bit hard on the boys during training and setting an example for how powerful they can become. As Wamuu drove home, Caesar’s death was one of great honor. Though he pledged to be the one to end it all and avenge his forefathers, he came to terms with his own downfall. In his last moments, he threw away his usual pride and carved his legacy by becoming a support for his friend. His final pride was being a team player, an unfortunate sacrifice for a greater cause, and I think that’s beautiful.

To me, part 3’s deaths weren’t consistently good or bad. I’d say for the most part, they were powerful and very emotional. However, there are some flaws to them. Let’s start with Avdol. I felt that his return was kind of... not cliche, exactly. Sort of... unrealistic, even with the excuse that they wanted to trick the enemy into believing the Crusaders lost some power. Now, when he died for the final time, it was kind of sudden as well. But what happened was that he sacrificed himself for the second and final time. I believe Meti covered this in a video? Avdol, despite saying to never turn back, making a pact for everyone to focus on their own survival, couldn’t bring himself to do nothing as Polnareff faced certain death. He was a mentor even in his last moment, as Polnareff realized... uh... lessons. My brain is starting to fry. So strangely enough, Avdol’s death didn’t make me cry. However, Iggy’s... oh god. It hurt so badly. I don’t really see Iggy’s death as a plot device except in the fact that it drove his character home and melted our hearts... painfully, as if it were with acid. Polnareff had already lost Avdol. Now he loses someone else, but even worse, he began to realize how little he had cherished him at all. Iggy was shown to be rude, cold, selfish, and not very friendly to anyone at all. He and Polnareff had a conflicting relationship. So why, why did Iggy give himself up for the sake of someone else, especially Polnareff? Because deep down inside, he never hated him. The absolutely horrifying and perilous nature of Part 3’s journey truly shows itself here, when all that could’ve been is lost. Kakyoin... oh boy. This death was really painful. He didn’t get to say goodbye to his parents, and he left so much behind. But now that I think about it, he didn’t really say goodbye to the Crusaders. His final message was a crucial contribution to their last remaining members’ victory against DIO. The only thing that I’d really complain about is the fact that he survived for an unrealistically long amount of time, and conveniently just long enough to realize DIO’s ability and then act to warn the others. Ah yeah, and Joseph’s resurrection was uh... kind of BS. But hey, glad to have him back. If only EVERYONE ELSE COULD’VE BEEN SAVED!!! .°(ಗдಗ。)°.

iggy's death is crushing.

@@greedow it's like a kick to the gut

@@elpatoamo4136 more like several kicks to the gut

Can we add weather report? He was finally going to get justice until Jolyne arrived.

Jamal Davis Doppio was so sad too. Forever waiting for the boss, in an unfamiliar and dying body.

Thanks for the fucking spoilers. In case you didn't notice, this was a video about Parts 1 through 5. You're not meant to spoil later parts in the comments. At least put a spoiler warning next time. Major fucking spoilers about Jotaro and Jolyne should not be in any comment anywhere without a spoiler warning. You just ruined Part 6 for me (and others) and spoiled the death of the series' most iconic character. Asshole. Can't believe people do this kind of shit.

Yes, no one should discuss anything further than what is animated, without babysitting those who haven't read a 30 year old work in it's entirety in a place where discussion of all things jojo is definitely meant to occur. If you are going to be this triggered by a spoiler you should either read the manga or not read the comments on a video that is about the evolution of death in the series. Obviously the comments will not shy away from discussing more than the video does and it's no ones responsibility but your own to curate your own experience with the franchise.
