Stardust Crusaders

Like you have that.

Or you have Walk Like an Egyptian during Stardust Crusaders, which is an 80s song.

You know what I mean? Or you have Roundabout by Yes, which is also during that era.

But then for this part, you get some original song streaming steel ball run over and over again by Yuki Chiba or whatever.

Um, and then after this I guess you'd call it second core, second stage, second core of Steel Ball Run.

Once that wraps up, then we will return to a biweekly schedule for Stardust Crusaders.

So, um, yeah, just make note of that as we go through these next couple of weeks.

And lastly, thank you guys for your patience with this episode, um, and when it actually premieres.

We, we do see a, the sky full of stars that Gyro and Johnny are looking at, uh, a shot of a snail, a shot of a field of sunflowers, and then a, a butterfly kind of flying in the, uh, in the foreground as I think there are racers in the background.

I also think that these are maybe references to previous JoJo parts.

Like, that sky full of stars reminds me of Stardust Crusaders.

The, the sunflowers, I, I feel like that's kind of reminiscent of Giorno in a way.

Train Home, by the way.

That's the second Stardust Crusaders ending for anyone who's wondering.

Yeah.

I'd have to think about it.

Which also has a very long full version and a pretty sweet guitar solo.

Yeah.

um and i do love that and i think it's rare to hear metal in anime openings anymore true um but i think i pretty famously hate the second stardust crusaders opening i love all the part four ones part five i think i mainly like fighting gold i think i don't know they're all so good yeah

i think this is like a classic jojo op though

It was like, do you want to watch

this? Star? Starlight? Stardust Crusade.

Yeah, Stardust Crusade.

Which is a pretty fun name.

Crusaders.

You think of that in comparison to the JoBros in Part 3.

In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3, they have a secret handshake.

We see the characters are intimate enough friends that they reference...

A, they have a secret handshake they do with each other, which is silly.

And Kono Karuda.

This is episode 105, and we're reviewing part three, Stardust Crusaders: Bastet's Mariah, part two.

As always, there'll be spoilers for this episode and anything that's happened in the JoJo anime.

Did I say it right that time? Bast- Bastet?

You dirty Bastet.

[laughs] I was scared I was gonna mess it up, um, like my fear from the last episode.

But yes, we are rounding out this second half, or I guess this arc with Mariah, and the second half in this episode being probably one of the more iconic episodes in not only Stardust Crusaders, but S- JoJo's Bizarre Adventure as a whole.

Not iconic in the traditional sense, like it's epic or meaningful or impacts the story.

Yeah.

And Stardust Crusaders where they're all the big men in the car and then they go, yeah, the guy with his arm.

Just crazy stuff.

So yeah, so they're flying to wherever, I can't remember where they're, oh, they're trying to chase the priest and they're trying to go to Cape Canaveral or wherever it is.

I feel like

in this one they probably put emphasis when they were saying the words as well because they're Americans yeah true

and then it's so funny because when you think back to it and you watch within Stardust Crusaders and it's censored like to all hell yeah

I forgot about the censoring with the black bars yeah he's

Um, so look forward to that.

And then once Steel Ball Run second cour, second stage, whatever, wraps up, then we'll switch back to biweekly, um, with Stardust Crusaders.

And for anyone who's like, "What the hell are you talking about?" We have another podcast, um, called Strictly JoJo that we have recently resurrected from our unofficial hiatus.

Um, so if you're, again, a JoJo fan, you're gonna watch Steel Ball Run, you wanna hear our review, um, check out Strictly JoJo.
