So, on stream and twitter, I've been asked,
"What are your favorite fights?" And with JoJo it's a lot more different than
the other things I've watched. Rather than just have specific fights that
I put over all the others, I just have a lot that I like for a lot of reasons, usually
all at the same level. So, here's ten fights. Now, while this fight is relatively one-sided,
I do think that this was one of the more satisfying beatdowns in JoJo. I know I felt that way, and I know plenty
of people when starting JoJo saw this and loved to see Dio finally getting what's coming
to him. Jonathan isn't a wrathful character. He truly tries to be the best person possible
to everyone he meets. Jonathan tried that with Dio, and Dio wasn't
having it. Instead, he had the alpha version of the JoJo
beatdown going. And that's what I think this is—a powerful,
satisfying beatdown. Though I will say it's a good thing that George
stopped this all because, to be honest, Dio would've probably made Jonathan into swiss
cheese with that knife. He needed time to grow. Next, Joseph Vs. Wamuu. Now, I love the idea of a chariot race as
a battle. When JoJo was released, many of its contemporaries
went for character vs. character, basic ground, and nothing special
except for the characters. A change in the setting made such a significant
difference. Yes, this is a fight. You got the character vs. character, abilities
against abilities, intelligence against intelligence, all that. But something about the fight being a continuously
moving setting made it more engaging? I guess that's what I'd say. Like, the pace of the fight itself, something. It's hard to formulate a specific set of words,
but the fact that the fight is constantly moving is engaging. I guess that's the idea. Wamuu and Joseph are extremely smart and skilled
tacticians of battle, so finally seeing this battle happen and considering what's at stake
is what truly made this battle as powerful as it was. Plus, it's like the last good fight in Battle
Tendency. I'm perfectly fine with dying on that hill
too, as much as I liked Kars as a concept, Wamuu was built a lot more and was like more
than Kars. Next, the Stardust Crusaders Vs. N’Doul. Now don’t take this as me ignoring the other
fights, I'm most likely making another video with another 10. This matchup is just one that I wanted to
give it's deserved attention. When you have that type of group in fiction,
there's always going to be the big question, "How well do they work together?" They got utterly clapped, entirely clapped,
wholly clapped. See, Twitter, I did use it. Without a doubt, there would be no Stardust
Crusaders if it wasn't for Iggy, and I think that's what makes me enjoy it a lot. This fight was an introduction to a new member
of the team, what's a better introduction than showing off how bad you need a member
like that? I also like seeing as to how helpless everyone
is to a ranged used like N'Doul, but still having the ability to think of something to
combat it somehow. This fight reminded me of the fight against
"The End" in MGS3, but this battle had higher stakes and higher difficulty with the conditions
they face. You also have the final standoff in the fight,
and who doesn’t love a standoff? Next is Polnareff, Avdol, and Iggy Vs. Vanilla
Ice. The reasoning is fairly the same, but it’s
pro-crusaders because it's a better example of the team synergy working. Well, it’s more of a duo than anything,
but it's one of the better displays of team synergy in the part. Polnareff and Iggy are a duo that has been
working on their relationship since the second season started. We know how pesky and tedious it was to work
out their problems in the beginning. But seeing them join together in the way they
did against a minor villain like Vanilla Ice made it all worth it. Also, Vanilla Ice was a great boss before
the final boss. Easily. Especially with a stand like Cream, it made
the battle so good. This feeling that you can be sharked from
any direction by an invisible force, and then lose your life in an instant. It put a lot of pressure on us and the characters. Because of that pressure, we got to see Polnareff
& Iggy push themselves so far in this fight. It was truly an end of the character arc type
of fight. Next, Josuke versus Keicho Nijimura. I picked this one because I believe that this
was a great first introduction for the Josuke that we grow to know. When against Angelo, there was this flare
of confidence from Josuke that’s neutralized and now only brought out when Josuke has the
fight locked down usually. That’s why we have the fight against Keicho. The first thing to consider was how the fight
had gone down. This is the first main Joestar to have an
ability tied to his stand from the beginning. Seeing as to how he makes use of it was great. While he made use of his immense strength
and speed, restoration is the point of focus with how versatile it is. Then you have Josuke fighting for the group
to be, doing the fighting that Okuyasu is scared to do. The most isn't on the line, we're not that
far into the part yet, but I'd say this here is fairly significant altogether. Another thing, Bad Company, is a really interesting
colony stand. The idea of a "small" military brings a lot
to the table with how it keeps Josuke on his toes. And with a leveled head and a Crazy Diamond,
he finishes up the battle with that, “Aaah call an ambulance, but not for me”, type
of final blow. Which, he also did to Okuyasu. Parallels? Next, we got Giorno Vs. Bruno. This is a great fight for the two main purposes,
to introduce abilities and to establish the characters. Now, to me, this fight begins when they start
talking. This camouflaged interrogation was an amazing
scene that built up to the actual fight. Meti goes over this interaction and the chapter
as a whole. I'll be linking the video in the description. Body language is huge in this interaction,
and they go into detail with it. Now focusing on the action of the fight, we
see how well both Bruno and Giorno use their abilities here. Your stand and how you use it is a reflection
of your character. With what we've seen, we get a general idea
of who Bruno and Giorno are, can be, and what their potential. The fight is a great introductory fight. It also has a great conclusion between the
two, and the significance of the battle is… well it's one of the most important ones in
the part. We’re on the second to last fight to mention
here, and it’s the Gang Vs. Prosciutto and Pesci. One huge thing that makes this fight great. Urgency. There’s a clock ticking because of The Grateful
Dead. Any of these members back here can die, maybe
not Giorno or Trish, but anyone else is on the table, and that’s scary. If you’ve been watching the parts back to
back (which is what I hope you’re doing), you’ve seen what Araki is capable of. We can lose anyone here with how it’s looking. The clock is ticking, and things need to get
done. Now consider that, and then think about Pesci
and his stand Beach Boy. Safety isn’t safety. Danger can pass through anything to come for
you. The stakes and tension is high. The setting is going. The train, fast. Bruno? Goat. And he’s against Prosciutto, one of the
most leader-like minor antagonists JoJo has seen? I love this guy. Pesci? He a little confused, but he got spirit. And that’s my reason as to why I like this
fight. And finally, a reminder that I will be making
more of these videos because there’s a bunch of other great fights, and I don’t want
people losing it. Doppio versus Risotto. Look, as a community, let’s try to be as
real as possible. If you could show someone a fight to get them
into JoJo if it wouldn't spoil what's to happen, Doppio versus Risotto is that type of fight. Not only does it have the best animation in
JoJo. It has two stand users with amazing stands
that are pushed to the absolute bring of their ability. Doppio isn't Diavolo in maximizing the extent
of his ability. However, he does a great job alone before
Diavolo comes into play. Along that, the mysteriousness of who or what
the hell Doppio is a firm driving force for this fight. And, because of the anime making some scheduling
changes, we got Doppio's backstory right before this fight to help this train get going. You also have Risotto, the last member of
La Squadra doing what his whole team has been fighting for. He’s the last legs of the hit-man team,
and he’s there with a vengeance. I love this fight, this fight has no one on
the in quotes “good side” but it’s one of the most major fights in that part. Love it to death. Thank you all for watching! I’m not sure when the next one will be,
but everyone clicks like on the video, I’ll be able to know how much you all want to see
it. Same with comments. Follow me on my other media in the description. I stream on Twitch every Tuesday, Thursday,
Friday, and Saturday at 4pm PST. Hopefully I’ll see you all in the next one! Until then, peace out and godspeed.
