Hey besties!

Ant agreed to watch episode 7 without me and fill me in on what I missed. I heard there was some questionable stuff and tbh I’m not really someone who can stomach SA stuff even if it is borderline. I also don’t want to taint my interpretation of the show by one bad episode or scene.

Hope y’all are cool with my decision <3 we will just push onto episode 8 of part 3. Thanks!

Sending love to Ant. (Few hugs to Alicia too)

Tobi.SG

damn but understandable

Bob

That's fair. Will we be seeing the Ant only episode or will you just go for the next episode and start with Ant's recap?

Bastiwen

Understandable, nothing ended up really happening but it was still very strange and disturbing. Good decision on your part if you can't take this kind of thing, it's not a really impactful episode storywise anyway. Can't wait to see episode 8 :)

pur3

Oh I had to think of what you mean real quick, but then I remembered.

Periwinkle (Secco Mode)

Understandable. Another one that has some weird borderline SA vibes is a two parter later in stardust crusaders with episodes 32 and 33 in case you would rather Ant recap you on those as well

Zackerex

We as JoJo fans do not claim this episode

Rare

Thank god. I can handle that stuff, but from watching your reactions this is definitely the best choice for you. There’s no shame in understanding your comfort zone.

Dysike

There are episodes of Jojos I've never watched for similair reasons, no harm in it and it'll help keep the whole experience more enjoyable for everyone if you don't force yourself into anything too uncomfortable. Good for you.

Diogenes

Yup, fair. The perp pays for it with their life but its still an extremely uncomfortable episode, I always skip it on rewatch.

Pyramide

This episode is unique in the series just for that, but is really nothing a would make a japanese person unconfortable , just westerners

Beotkkot_

Yeah i was dreading you having to watch this one... good idea to skip

Enchiladas

Y'all both could've skipped it tbh it's not really important to the story

Jay Redmond

Nothing important happens in the episode anyway, so I am fine with people skipping it. The only remotely noteworthy thing that happens is that we find out that animals can have stands.

Mr. 2Dirty

Oh that’s completely understandable Alicia. This is one of those episode that is real disturbing. You don’t miss out on anything for skipping to episode 8.

supersparta333

Totally agree. Part 3 has some rough episodes before it really starts to hit its stride, and episode 7 is the biggest pitfall. You could just read the wiki entry or have Ant summarize it and not miss out on anything. I'd say episode 10 is where Part 3 starts to find its rhythm, but that's just me.

Marco Orrego

Understandable, have a nice day

kywolf55

That episode always didn't sit well with me anyway

Joey Cat

That's fair, has a pretty messed up scene and its an episode not important to the story so no worries queen :)

LampyLust

Ant's a real one

Cark

Definitely understand and tbh if I'd known beforehand I would have skipped that episode as well! You won't be missing any major story points and honestly you're better off in the long run

Alopex The Wanderer

Good for you cause that episode is really really bad and it absolutely taints the entire series.

Unsaidrumble

The episode in question doesn't have any relevance to the rest of show so you good

Rat#394

I'm afraid

Damsgaard

It's fine to skip the episode in question so don't worry about it

Jake Fuller

All good, Ant recapping the important stuff is more than enough. I think it's a shame overall cause it'd be best if you could watch it but ultimately it's your decision and a recap is enough. At most you could just have Ant stream it after watching it and skip over the uncomfortable scenes but again that's up to you. As mentioned by someone else some later episodes also have some potentially very uncomfortable scenes, so feel free to skip those too. My only real concern is they still have good moments in the episodes I'd want to see your reaction to but I don't mind if you just don't watch them. Do whatever you think will give you the best experience.

Rick Baron

Yeah don't worry about it, it's not really important to the overall story, it just shows you that animals can have stands too, but yeah that episode is a bit SUS (also don't be too harsh on the writer it was the 80's and some things that are not ok to show here on the west were ok to show in japan the anime adaptation has taken feedback from this part to remove some questionable scenes like that product of the times and culture in future parts, also the author no longer does those kind of things)

Quinton Macejkovic

Honestly a good call, it's better to completely opt out of the scene than watching it without knowing if it crosses a line for you or just inches infinitely closer to it. No harm done in skipping that at all. :)

Aspy130

Honestly I appreciate it too. Nobody likes that episode and it’d suck to have the show ruined for you by that stupid scene

Convergeman

Ah that episode...completely understand. Like the other helpful comments here mentioned: I can also confirm you aren't missing that much. No deep character developments or anything that really gets brought up again that I can remember.

mmg86

It's fine if you want to skip the episode, but i want to say that it's only a scene in it, not what the episode revolves around, and that it confuses me a little that you won't watch it (the episode) because of what you fear it might depict. To someone who has seen the episode and read the manga, it sounds very similar to skipping an episode because you heard a random background character in it will be harmed or threatened to be harmed in a specific way, like, say, getting a hand chopped off. I assume you won't end up reacting to the episode, even if Ant ended up finding it harmless? I mean, the whole point is getting blind reactions from both of you, so i guess him reacting to his second watch would be pretty weird... well, here's hoping his recap is entertaining to listen to.

joseph joestar's number one fan

totally a good call, part 3 is also one of my least favs bc of how.. unnecessary a lot of the stuff is. i need jojo fans to realise that araki is not immune to criticism. Warning for episodes 32 and 33 because those are really weird.

Vincent

Honestly this is such a good decision, that episode is so randomly weird and such a departure from a lot of jojo villain's 'evilness'.

Soul_XIII

Eyyy ant ma boi, u take some rest queen tho

Barnabás Mucsi

Do what you want. I personally don't like the concept of skipping episodes even if they are not important or there's a few questionable scenes if the episode isn't around it. That was my problem with Naruto Shippuden too, I'd rather stop watching it than skipping the filler. But I like JoJo and for just one scene I wouldn't skip a whole episode, and also I'm not easily triggered. But you do what you do and I do what I do.

Barnabás Mucsi

But I'd still like to watch the that Ant recap it to you at least, even if you don't watch the episode itself.

dirkdiggler69

Ok, that's understandable. Maybe include a breakdown of the episode from Ant at least in the beginning of the next episode. Also, I was looking, and for me at least, if you have Amazon Prime, then the uncensored version of Jojo's is available there for free. I know people were asking for that, so if you do have Amazon prime, it is available there👍

Ronuster

i think its one of the more bizzare episodes in jojo and its a bad episode any way

Desert Penguin

What is SA and why aren't we watching this episode?

NateLocke

Yeah no, Strength is a weird episode but it has like no impact on the story so it's fine. Luckily there's not a lot of that kinda stuff in Jojo. It's only Strength and the Alessi two parter later on. Definitely skip those when you get to it, they're not fun to watch and idk what Araki was on with those episodes lol. Luckily they're not important to the plot either so big skip.

Yagi di Hoshi

Good, that episode is forever tainted for me anyhoo
