Chapter 149. Although I Smoke, Drink, and Fight Teachers, I'm a Good Kid
---
Why was the audience's initial impression of Jotaro in the first episode of "Stardust Crusaders" generally unfavorable?
It wasn't just because of Jolyne's release schedule, which allowed Joseph (the previous protagonist) and DIO (the antagonist from the earlier arc) to steal the spotlight from Jotaro, the true protagonist. It was also because, during that jail frontation, viewers hoped for Avdol to win more than Jotaro.
This wasn't because Avdol, a new character like Jotaro, was more popur. It was simply that viewers wao see Jotaro released from jail and join Joseph iing DIO, who had stained Jonathan's body!
In this text of unified "opposition," Jotaro, who had never learned about Stands before, only lost to Avdol due to the rules of the frontation...
He did exceptionally well, perhaps even too well!
Unfortunately, victory belongs to the winner. bined with the audience's expectation for Jotaro's defeat, Jotaro's first impression in Episode 1 came off as ckluster.
There was no "Thompson Wave Ripple Overdrive" from Joseph, nor did Jotaro have a desperate burst like Jonathan's to beat DIO to tears...
As a result, many viewers aced to those thrilling ses felt disappointed.
But versely, if Jotaro could provide an exceptionally stunning performance, would these viewers then cheer for him?
Seeing the sudden spike in viewer statistid the intense showdowween Jotaro and Kakyoin on the s, Akiyuki Shinbo suddenly realized why Pucci remained fident when the reception of "Stardust Crusaders" appeared less than promising, insisting that it was only a minor issue.
Kujo Jotaro, this guy...
"Your as are undoubtedly evil!"
"If your Stand ot be perceived by victims or the w, and won't eveected! Then—"
"I will be the oo punish you!!"
His chest was severely hit, and his internal ans damaged.
Despite his Stand's precision, which could catch bullets, blog most of the "Emerald Spsh" and redug much of the damage, Jotaro couldn't let his Stand take the damage for him.
Yet, as Jotaro decred this, nobody—not even the audience—seemed to remember that he was the injured one.
Driven by this statement, they even fot that Jotaro's words essentially trao: "Even though I, Jotaro, smoke, drink, brawl, fight teachers, and dine-and-dash, I know I'm a good kid."
... No, maybe the audieiced.
Seeing the surging ents and messages on the s, Akiyuki Shinbo sighed, "I see, so that's it! It all ects, huh!?"
Perhaps because the audience could sehe meaning behind Jotaro's words, they also realized how ve a power the Stand is.
Only Stand users see Stands, which means any Stand user could do whatever they want—whether it's using their Stand to kill or steal—without anyone knowing!
Victims ot perceive their suffering, and the w ot vict them.
So, what did Jotaro do after awakening his Stand?
He locked himself in jail...
That's the true reason for Akiyuki Shinbo's amazement.
Previously, he had always thought that Pucci's decision to lock Jotaro in jail at the beginning was a bad plot move.
Especially sihe subsequent story arranged for Avdol to defeat Jotaro to tihe narrative.
If the goal was to have Jotaro leave jail, why lock him up in the first pce?
It only gave Jotaro, the true protagonist, a bad first impression by having him lose initially.
That was Akiyuki Shinbo's previous reasoning, which left him uo uand it fully.
He even doubted whether "Stardust Crusaders" was actually written by Pucci or if it was signifitly inferior to "Phantom Blood" and "Battle Tendency."
But now...
It turns out he was the one who didn't uand.
Episode 1 was a setup for Episode 2! For this line!
A self-indulgent person versus someone who stantly restrains his desires.
If his guess was right, the…
"Evil? You've got it wrong!" Kakyoin mocked, "Evil refers to the loser, and justice is the victor. The one who survives until the end is 'justice,' the process doesn't matter!"
—[Hierophant Green]!!
Jotaro's Stand has a range of about two meters.
As long as Kakyoin stays beyond that, Jotaro's Stand ot attack him.
And if Jotaro starts approag...
The le suppression of "Emerald Spsh" proved that Jotaro, in his heavily iate, was no threat!
"The loser is 'evil!'"
Seeing Jotar to throw something from a dista getting easily blocked by his pre-set "Emerald Barrier," Kakyoin ughed and said, "Die! Emerald Spsh!!"
"What did you say? The loser is 'evil?' Those words..."
The muscur, bluish-purple figure crossed its arms in front of Jotaro.
Not only did it defled repel the destructive energy of the "Emerald Spsh" with its muscles, but it also seized [Hierophant Green] at a speed Kakyoin couldn't react to!
"...describe you perfectly!"
Jotaro passed his judgment.
After this decration, the muscur, bluish-purple figure relentlessly pummeled [Hierophant Green] with its fists!
"Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora! Ora————!!"
"My Stand will carry out the punishment!!!"
…
"Ihis is JoJo! This is 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventure!'"
Akiyuki Shinbo exhaled deeply.
As for the view t?
There's o monitor it anymore!
