JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 4 Diamond is Unbreakable Arc by Arc Review (01/11)

Before I start, take note that Araki-sensei loves English songs hence the stand from Part 4 onward were named after a Band or Song name.


Kujo Jotaro! Meets Higashikata Josuke


The year is 1999, ten years after the defeat of DIO in Egypt and we are introduced to Koichi Hirose who lives in Morioh, Japan. Koichi meets Jotaro Kujo, who is looking for a person called Josuke Higashikata.


Jotaro finds a Stand user with the Stand, Crazy Diamond, getting infuriated when his hair is insulted. Jotaro tells Josuke that his father is Joseph Joestar and that Josuke will get 1/3 of his inheritance when Joseph passes away. Jotaro also tells Josuke to beware of a man lurking around in Morioh that Joseph discovered with Hermit Purple.


A man sees a pretty woman walking in the street and invites her for a ride. She subsequently beats him up. The man asks a police officer to help him but he says that woman is his daughter, Tomoko Higashikata (Josuke's mother). Josuke and Koichi go to a store where a man is threatening to kill a woman. When he insults Josuke's hair, Josuke attacks him and the woman but heals the woman with his Stand's power. The man was revealed to be possessed by a Stand that was depicted in the photograph Joseph created.


Rating: 8.5/10


Higashikata Josuke! Meets Anjuro


The criminal Anjuro arrives at the Higashikata residence dressed as a milkman, aiming to poison Tomoko and her son. Tomoko notices something strange about the bottle of milk he gives her and sees that it is ajar. She asks for a new bottle and he curses, planning to kill her and Josuke with his Stand inside that bottle. Ryohei Higashikata comes to visit his grandson and is killed by Anjuro's Stand.


Three days later, while it is raining, Anjuro ambushes Jotaro, not knowing that he is a Stand user. Jotaro punches him and runs back into the house where Anjuro emerges from steam. Josuke fails to catch him in a bottle when he is in this form. Anjuro fills the whole house with steam so that Jotaro and Josuke are trapped. Josuke breaks through the wall and then repairs it, but Anjuro predicted that he would do this and turned on the humidifier. Josuke swallows Aqua Necklace but he was prepared for this situation and swallowed a latex glove beforehand. Aqua Necklace is trapped. Josuke and Jotaro pinpoint Anjuro and Josuke melds him with a rock, making things how he feels they should be.


Jotaro asks Anjuro how he got his Stand and Anjuro tells him that when he was in prison a man wearing a school uniform pierced with an Arrow and he didn't die. The man said he passed the test of the Arrow and now he has a power called a Stand. The man added that he was from Morioh and Anjuro should come there sometime.


While Jotaro and Josuke were listening to the story Aqua Necklace escaped and was about to smash a child's brain. Josuke reacted quickly and "fixed" Anjuro even further- making him a one of Morioh's biggest attractions, all while saving the child.
