We're in the endgame now.

Okuyasu was sitting on the couch, watching TV, "Man. This is boring?"

Goopy (I looked it up. He doesn't have an actual character name, so I'm calling him Goopy.) came in with a box, "What do you have there?"

Goopy used a pair of scissors to open the box, revealing a camera. Okuyasu grabbed it, "A camera?"

The camera took a picture despite Okuyasu not touching any buttons, "HELLO!"

Okuyasu threw the camera out the window, "It's a stand!"

The camera stand jumped through the window, "Why did you do that, you asshole?!"

Okuyasu used The Hand to grab the camera, "You're not here to kill me?"

"No! I just heard about your family situation and I figured I'd check it out."

Okuyasu made his stand tightened its grip, "Prove it."

"Okay! Okay!"

There was a knocking at the door. Goopy opened it and a man with camouflage clothing came in, "My name is Aztoca Cameron. I'm a professional photographer."

"What do you want?"

"I heard about the craziness of this house and I'm here to investigate the weirdness of this house."

Okuyasu smirked and wrapped his arm around Aztoca, "So, you can make me famous?"

"I work for a website that's really going to dig a story like this."

"Website?"

"Yeah and it's going to be big. With your story, we'll be making bank."

Okuyasu smirked as he sat down, "It's a very long story."

On January 16th in the year 2000, a post detailing the life story of Okuyasu was uploaded to the internet. However, because it was on a website nobody went to, it would remain hidden from the world.

Aztoca was at Okuyasu's door, "I lost my job and my house. Would it be alright if I crashed on your couch?"

Okuyasu grunted and let him in, "You better have a way of paying!"

"I will!"

He never did.

Diamond is Unbreakable is probably my favorite arc so far.

Before I start talking about the story and stuff, I'd like to talk about the animation real quick.

Before DiU, Jojo had a very exaggerated art style. Most of the characters had comic book-esque physiques and used more realistic coloring.

In DiU, and onward from what I've seen, uses more realistic physiques and more stylized coloring. I don't have a problem with it, but I can see some hardcore fans finding it jarring.

Let's talk about the overall plot first. Jotaro visits a town called Morioh to find Joseph's son Josuke and to track down a criminal that had a stand.

Some shinnegians ensue and it sprirals into a murder mystery.

If there is one way to describe DiU, it would be all over the place in a good way. The plot points feel natural. Like it's a weird and fun set of circumstances.

There is another way I'd describe DiU. I find it weirdly wholesome if that makes sense.

It's a series where a bunch of different characters go through some emotional stories and take down a villain.

Steven Universe is the first western cartoon I think of when I think of this arc, because of the weirdly wholesome things in this arc.

The characters don't become perfect people, but that helps it work very well for me.

Let's start talking villains.

Katagiri was a thug, nothing special about his character, but his powers were cool.

Keicho was Okuyasu's older brother and his power and motive were really good. He wanted to kill his abusive dad to put him out of his misery because Dio's death turned him into the goopy guy.

Akira had a cool stand and gimmick, but he wasn't the most compelling character. He was entertaining though.

Yoshiro was a fun villain. His main goal of protecting Kira makes him a better dad than most here in western animation, but he was interesting. His stand ability was cool, but kinda impractical.

Then finally, there's Kira. I love this evil bastard. He had an entertaining personality that made us want to see him get his butt kicked, but wanted to see more of.

It's rare for a villain whose goal is just to be left to his hobbies. That's probably what makes him such a memorable villain for me. He wasn't some diabolical mastermind off to rule everything. He was a murderer who wanted to get rid of the inconveniences that surrounded him.

His love of lady hands was weird, but it was part of his strangeness that made him memorable.

I do think he has an arsenal that is hard to believe anyone can fight him.

Quick list of his powers: He can make whoever Killer Queen touches explode, Killer Queen has a tiny tank form that tracks heat, he took Stray Cat to give him more long ranged capability, and the rewind time by an hour if someone talks about him to a targeted person then those people die.

It can be a bit silly, but that's par the course and it does make sense with the context of the episodes.

His defeat is satisfying.

But let's move on to the heroes.

Josuke was a fun lead. I loved the thing with his hair and the backstory behind it. He was strong and I loved how he was a healer. I hate it when a healer is just good at healing, so it's nice where the healer is strong.

I like how he wasn't really an asshole. In the episode with Shigechi, he was fine with taking only 25% and letting Shigechi take 50%. That's a show of how good natured he can be.

Also, his episode with Joseph is precious as hell.

Okuyasu was also a lot of fun. He doesn't get as much development as I would have liked, but he does grow.

There is a nice thing with him being an abuse victim and growing from meeting new and good people. That's really cool and something special, especially since they don't really draw attention to it.

He does seem to get better with The Hand and that's a very cool stand.

Koichi is the best developed of the characters. I have to wonder if he was a favorite of fans or Araki's, because he appears in Golden Wind.

He starts off as a bit of a push over and not useful, but, as the story advances, he grows into a more confident and competent stand user.

He changes his hair style as things go on.

I'm not sure why his stand could talk in its final form, but that's not really important.

By the way, I'm not going into all of them. Just the main important ones.

Rohan is a...facisnating character. He's a manga artist and can be a huge jerk. He doesn't become a great guy, but he gets better.

With him being a manga artist, I thought he was based on Araki himself, but that's apparently not the case. From what I've seen, Araki is a pretty chill guy.

I love how the part where his house caught fire and he didn't even care. That part was hilarious.

The rest of the characters get screen time, but they don't really do anything despite being prominent in the intro. Then again, I think it was only the 2nd one they were prominent in.

My favorite episodes are the July 15 three parter. I think it shows the characters at their best.

There's also a lot of fun situations that are very unique.

The final stretch of the series is a real highlight. Hayato being trapped by Bites the Dust to the final fight between Josuke and Kira. It's all really good.

I can understand if some people didn't like how Jotaro finished off Kira, (If you want to be a bit more accurate, Reimi pulled him into the Shadow Realm or wherever the grabby hands take you.) but Josuke was the one who caught Kira in the first place.

They wouldn't have caught Kira if it wasn't for Josuke, so I feel like that's enough for him.

A neat detail I didn't notice until I saw someone point it out is that the sky is not blue until the ending. That's a nice detail and helps give the whole series a sense of conclusion.

Overall, Diamond is Unbreakable is a very good arc and is probably my favorite arc of the series thus far.

I hope you enjoyed Jojo-vember! And I'm hoping to have some stories for the back log done before November ends. See you all later!
