JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3: Stardust Crusaders Chapter 11 Discussion

Eyyy, Polnareff has arrived. Nice.

Silver Chariot cut through those flames like it was nothing.

I don't find that foolish. This series can get quite crazy so trying to predict the moves of a fortune teller is nothing.

Good chapter, got a laugh out of the Joseph/Jotaro joke about how Joseph has crashed three planes in his life-time.

At this rate, they'll be out of tarot cards before they reach Egypt.

They can't finish their world tour with just one plane trip because that'd be too easy and boring so they took up the challenge of traversing through land and sea alone. Their first stop in Hong Kong gave some nice trivia on some of their outside dining customs and even their more exotic dishes but it had to be ruined by a wild Frenchman.



Being able to redirect Avdol's flames and carve them into a clock takes real skill and power. They better be on their toes if they want to survive this assault.

If I try Jojo where do I need to start? Is different part count as different manga? How many part Jojo is?

Lmao at all these players treating the stewardesses however they feel like.

Each part has its own story and different characters, so you don't have to start from the beginning if you want. There are some references to earlier parts here and there that loosely ties itself together, but isn't required to understand the other parts. As of now, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure has 8 parts with part 8: Jojolion currently still on-going.

Tower of Gray took down the pilots and sent the plane into a crash course, something that already had me chuckle as this isn’t the first time Joseph has been in a plane crash.  The fact that he later noted it himself was a great touch and got a big laugh out of me.  The curse of Joseph Joestar!  He may have had a pilot for a father which was also a dream of his, according to the character page at least, meaning he’s put in some time flying planes but it never goes pretty.  Overall to bridge the plane attack of Tower of Gray to landing in Hong Kong and igniting another fight this time focusing on Avdol and setting a new plot direction creates a great sense of pacing.  Definitely what we’ve come to expect from Jojo, but nonetheless greatly appreciated.



Further, we got some good characterizing moments.  Firstly with Jotaro and Kakyoin, girls love Jotaro but he could never use that to his own benefit because he’s way too standoffish.  Kakyoin however sparked a fight with the girls when he was introduced, a fight over if he was better looking than Jotaro.  It seems in universe Jotaro’s a little better looking, but Kakyoin has the ability to utilize his womanizing abilities akin to a certain Zeppeli.  He’s certainly got more tact than Jotaro does.  Beyond that, later in Hong Kong, Kakyoin is shown understanding the customs of Hong Kong, with that and how he stumbled upon Dio while traveling; it goes to suggest he is quite cultured.  Just as his stand has much utility, so does he as a person.  Avdol also, with knowledge of Tower of Gray and how he was bought over by Dio’s charisma/ideals/power rather than brainwashing, is continued to be characterized as a knowledgeable and wise sensei type.  Yet one with fire inside of him of which he can control.



Landing in Hong Kong forced the gang to move to land and sea, they plan to use the sea to reach Dio in time.  This makes the roadtrip far more engaging than a flight right to Cairo.  That was when another one of Dio’s followers attacked with Silver Chariot, using Avdol’s fire against him and declaring a fight with a flaming clock ticking down.  I’m starting to think with Kakyoin’s note, Tower of Gray’s bloody massacre message, and now a flaming clock of death, with two of these villains having announced their plans before attacking, that it may not be worth reading into too much.  It’s fun shounen villain stuff.

I like how frenchy here isn't beating around the bush.
