The "average Jojo Appears In 2 Animated Parts" Factoid Is Actualy Just A Statistical Error. The Average

The "average Jojo appears in 2 animated parts" factoid is actualy just a statistical error. The average Jojo appears in a little over 1 animated part. Jotaro Kujo, who is Araki's favourite little boy and has appeared in 5/6 animated parts, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

No the real reason Jotaro stopped being gay after the events of sdc is because he saw Dio monologuing in those fugly ass boots and varicose veins and all of it was stripped from his body like some sort of miracle of Christ

I just started the part 3 manga, and I think a lot of my problems with jotaro are specific to the anime. I never really thought of the animation as “stiff,” but in the manga, jotaro has a lot of subtle expressions that give the impression that this is a scared kid trying his best to act tough. In the anime however, his expressions are so unmoving that he just comes across as a one-dimensional “tough guy” type. In the manga, he’s a dick to his mother bc that’s what teenagers do when they’re stressed. In the anime, he’s a dick to his mother bc he is a dick. In the anime, jotaro tries to kill avdol for no reason. In the manga, he begs avdol not to interfere because he’s afraid of killing him.

Also, in the anime, he calls star platinum an evil spirit, and as the audience you’re just like, oh this seems like a neutral spirit- he must think it’s evil for superstitious reasons. In the manga, star platinum can talk independently from jotaro’s thoughts, and threatens avdol with no input from him. Also the first close up of star platinum looks like this. Which is, to put it nicely, fucking terrifying. He looks like N’doul.

So it’s like, oh okay, I get it now. Jotaro is completely understandable.

I love it when authors make their unrealistically buff characters seem smaller not by actually making them smaller, but rather by putting them next to an even bigger, unrealistically buff character. Like, Kakyoin only looks small because he’s beside JOTARO ninety percent of the time. It’s like putting a monster truck next to a fighter one jet.
