I just want to mention that THERE WILL BE SPOILERS. I also want to mention this was the first time reading manga. It was an experience.
As of right now, Josuke is my second favorite Jojo. Joseph will always have a place in my heart for being the wacky and magnificent protagonist that made Part 2 really shine. Part 4 in my opinion has the most interesting villain in the series at this point for me. Yoshikage Kira just has this air about him that makes him so wonderfully villainous and evil. He is much more about skulking around in the shadows. He is just as arrogant as DIO and Kars but is not flamboyant and flashy. He keeps to himself and just wants to lead a peaceful life...
A few things really helped make this feel different from Stardust Crusaders. First, most of the stand battles were not just resolved with lots of punching. There was more of a focus on working out the abilities of the enemy stand and figuring out how to counter them. What also made it different from Part 3 is that the entire part takes place in a singular location, Morioh. Its not much of an actual adventure this time around. Its not a race against time.
The story is mainly about the hunt for Yoshikage Kira and Josuke and co. having misadventures and stand battles. At times it really reminded me of Ed, Edd, and Eddy. That being said, the monster of the week format of dealing with various stand battles works really well here.
My favorite Stand Battles were:
Koichi and Jotaro vs. Yoshikage Kira
I really enjoyed how Jotaro's incredible strength, speed, precision, and time freezing weren't much good against only the hand of Killer Queen. Since Jotaro could pretty much handle anything thrown at him in Part 3, it was grea that they showed the new antagonist couldn't be beaten by Jotaro's old tactics. It was also a great spot for Koichi to shine and show off problem solving skills and utilizing his stand Echoes to neutralization the hand. It was also great to see the calm and collected Kira lose it because of Koichi.
Kishibe Rohan vs. Ken Oyanagi
Rock, Paper, Scissors the stand battle. It was everything I wanted it to be and more. Jojo fights have always had ridiculous battles and situations and this was no exception. Araki did the impossible and made a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors into one of the most enjoyable parts of the entire series.
Koichi vs. Yukako Yamagishi
It was funny to see a straight up yandere show up in Jojo. Here we see Koichi trying to figure out his stand's abilities while placating and fending off Yukako
I hope the anime adaption of Part 4 is just as good as the other Jojo anime.
