Left is garbage.
Crying about wanting a quiet life while being a massmurderer doesn't make you a deep character.
Nathan Miller
Because they're the same. Wanting to live in a world of your own choice without outside interference IS wanting to be a god, and God too.
Charles Miller
Kira's better in concept but Light was written by someone that's actually smart and doesn't rely on arbitrary plot armor and dumb luck bullshit to have their antagonist lose because they're too fucking stupid to think of anything else
James Morales
bites the dust is actually a perfect counter for the death note, as as soon as Light finds his true identity (i.e his real name) time would restart.
Kira would then see him as a dangerous stand user, with Ryuk as his stand and swiftly take him out
Levi Myers
I generally found Kira's irritation at having his quiet life infringed upon and freaky horniness to be way more interesting than Light's antispetic egomania and under-cooked "mind battles" with L

>You can call me Yoshikage Kira. I'm currently 33 years old. Not that you'd care, but I reside in northeast Morioh's villa district. Also, I've yet to marry. In order to make a living, I work for Kame Yu department stores. After a long day's work, I return home no later than 8 PM. I don't like smoking, but do enjoy the occasional drink. I'm always in bed by 11 PM, and I make it a point to get no less than eight hours of sleep each night. Before bed, I drink a warm glass of milk. It's always coupled with twenty minutes of stretching to decompress from the long work day. Sweet dreams are the usual result of this. I then awake as refreshed and recharged as a newborn child, ready to take on the day's challenges. And after my last checkup, I was given a clean bill of health. For as long as I can remember, I've done everything in my power to live a productive life that allows me to pursue a lasting inner peace. This may be a foreign concept, but I choose not to concern myself with winning or losing, life's troubles, or enemies who bring sleepless nights. That is how I cope with this backwards life we find ourselves living. It's what brings me happiness in a world fraught with hardship and misery. Of course, if I were ever to engage in combat, I would win the battle without question.

not sure if serious
i mean death note might not have a ton of asspulls the way jojo has, but it definitely isn't what i'd call "actually smart" writing, although that might have more to do with the target audience than the actual plot

well if we look at it in terms of how they died, one of them was killed by a filthy rich marine biologist with a superpowered psychic avatar who can stop time that also killed a vampiric demigod

Ian Cooper

It's just worldbuilding, and doing fun shit with the characters and stands. By your logic a third of DN is just Light fucking around homoerotically with either L or N, and the part with N is complete garbage that by the end just feels like they're putting the shitty series out of its misery.

Death Note doesn't stand up to rewatch as an adult.
Zachary Foster
The question is will Light manage to figutre out the right characters to write "Yoshikage Kira" in his note faster than Kira's gonna finish his "My name is Yoshikage Kira" monologue and touch him with KQ. I personally see it as a draw: Light writes Kira's name in the note, gets exploded and about 13-15 seconds later Kira dies from a heart attack.

Jojo fans are complete fucking idiots that have never consumed any other media where the antagonist loses because they actually fuck up (and vice versa for the protagonist) and you can retrace what exactly both parties did to end up winning or losing. Asspulling every once in a while is fine. Asspulling the entire fucking story is garbage writing. I don't even care about Death Note, but it's not a very high bar to have better writing than P4.
Ryan Phillips
Let's debunk this point by point.

>No he wouldn't you fucking retard. They had dozens of ways to kill his ass and would have done so either way. The ambulance is just a poetic way to finish him.
There's no "asspull" like in Death Note because there are no situations where clearly defined rules are broken in a way *that matters*.
When Light pulls fucking bullshit in Death Note because the author is retarded, it matters because the whole point of Death Note are the fucking shitty mindgames. So it's trash and you could be reading Liar Game or Akagi.
In Jojo, when characters pull bullshit, it doesn't matter because you're here for Araki's drawings and to see the heroes pull cool nonsensical bullshit. Which they do.
Anthony Perez
>magical explosion doesn't hit with the same force as a regular explosion from essentially the same type of weapon specifically so protags don't insta-wipe
>people surviving ridiculous injuries fluctuates depending on if the author wants them to live or not: Kakyoin dies in less than ~30 seconds from a single hole through his chest, Koichi lasts longer than a minute from the same injury but worse, Jotaro fucking gets up and is able to fight with about half a dozen of them
>Shigechi used the stand after he blew the fuck up and died, makes absolutely no sense
>Again, complaint isn't with the character being weird as much as he's weird in exactly the right way needed to mess with the antagonist's plans by dumb luck
>basically nobody knows that Kira is in Kawajiri's body until the very end except for his son eventually, Speedwagon Foundation wouldn't do shit. This was debunked in the original post anyway so it doesn't even make sense to point out

>muh rule of cool for stupid shit
>implying Kira getting wheeled off to a hospital wouldn't give him a moderately easy spot to defend himself in at least for a while and implying the ambulance was poetic when they do this exact unlucky trash a billion times beforehand; literally just a shitty version of Kars' death which actually came before this
Anthony Ramirez
(cont.)
Asspull doesn't mean that a clearly defined rule is broken in a meaningful way, even though that does share comorbidity, it means that a difficult problem ends up being suddenly solved by some unlikely (read; contrived) occurrence. It's slang for deus ex machina. Kira about to haul ass away from the area when a mortally wounded Jotaro is suddenly able to get up, out of the shop and all the way to the back, and then beat the shit out of him on top of that is as asspull as you can get. Hayato being brought back to life after instakilling himself to activate the bomb on Okuyasu is an asspull, on top of breaking a clearly defined earlier rule where Crazy Diamond can't revive you. The shit you said about Death Note can easily apply to Jojo. When some fucking bullshit happens because the author is retarded it matters because the whole point of something like this should be enjoying the various fuck-ups and successes both parties pull off to win or lose, and I could just be reading Yugioh or some shit where that actually happens and it's not just repeating contrivances so the good guys can do whatever the fuck they want and still win.
If you're retarded and you just like looking at pretty pictures and heroes monologuing about how tough and cool they are after getting bisected before suddenly dropping a meteor on the bad guy, good for you. It's still garbage writing.
Camden Johnson
>magical explosion never instakilled before so its power is already established
>Koichi lasts 30s and gets healed by Josuke. Kakyoin doesn't get any help and gets THE WORLDED. But most importantly, yes, rules can change depending on the level of drama. It's not about the amount of newtons an attack should produce, it's about the language behind this attack. Seeing DIO activate The World meant instadeath for Kakyoin. Also even if you were a retarded sciencefaggot you could justify it with The World being stronger than Killer Queen. Jotaro didn't have a fist in his chest.
>minor inconsistency that really doesn't matter on important plot points
>It's not an asspull if the character is established as weird from the start. It's another challenge the villain has to face.
>Speedwagon foundation monitors people leaving Morioh. Eventually, Jotaro would investigate them and find Kira.
>Yes, and once again it doesn't matter at all. It's a rule of cool show. Not a "what if the light was red so Josuke couldn't get on time to hear Kira".
>yes. It also applies to Akagi by the way
>You're a fucking retard if you think Star Platinum couldn't bash his fucking head instantly even without stopping time. Rohan has literal mind control powers. Okuyasu can erase space. He was fucking dead. Araki could've written him to die after Jotaro's ORAORAORA you fucking idiot

Kayden Wilson

No it's not. Learn what words mean.
I'll assume you're talking about Deus Ex Machina from now. Aka elements that the author needs to bring to save himself from a corner he's written himself into.
>Kira about to haul ass away from the area when a mortally wounded Jotaro is suddenly able to get up, out of the shop and all the way to the back, and then beat the shit out of him on top of that is as asspull as you can get.
This is fucking dumb already. Jotaro got wounded the chapter before, and nothing established he wouldn't get up before hours, especially since Jotaro is hardcore. But most importantly it's not a necessary element to save the plot. Araki could've had Josuke get the drop on Kira and beat the shit out of him.
>Hayato being brought back to life after instakilling himself to activate the bomb on Okuyasu is an asspull, on top of breaking a clearly defined earlier rule where Crazy Diamond can't revive you
Once again, it's not. Crazy Diamond's rules are as soft as they get. He can't revive dead people, that's for sure. The story says Hayato was still not dead when Josuke healed him. What you're calling a Deus Ex Machina is saying "the amount of time in which a character got blown up was too long for me to believe the magical time healer could save him". Protip: it's not. It's merely a detail you're focusing on because you're autistic.
(cont)
Jonathan Young
>The shit you said about Death Note can easily apply to Jojo
Not really.
Your science sperging missed an important point. Death Note is supposedly happening in our world, and with a much more serious tone. The tricks are supposed to make sense. The police, the detectives, the plans, everything is supposed to be relatively grounded, with the exception of the magical killer book that influences all those realistic elements.
And when it's not, everything crumbles. You understand the story operates on a dumb shonen logic when by all means the premise and tone are headed towards a much more different kind of writing. This disconnect is what you could call bad writing.
The very premise of Jojo is to make bizarre and creative stuff, fights, with gore and artsy shit Araki comes up with. That's what you're being sold. If you get to part 4, you have already accepted that Jojo characters can literally pull complex magic rope tricks offscreen while their opponent looked away for 2 seconds (part 2). It's part of what you're being sold, and never tries to be anything else. When it does it, it does it right. It's not about having consistent internal rules, it's about using the narrative and visual language to speak to the reader.
Might as well criticize Akagi for Washizu getting bullshit hands.
Tyler Sanders
>still arbitrary
>oh the context was different so it's not as lethal/TW being stronger than KQ makes a difference here even though it's a fucking hole in the chest either way/Jotaro didn't have a hole in his chest, he had around 5-6 from a point-blank explosion, which is inarguably worse
>"minor inconsistency" that kickstarts the entire plot
>asspull isn't the character's qualities for the millionth time, it's the fact that this character just happens to enter the antagonist's personal life at his most vulnerable moment
>Speedwagon Foundation isn't all-seeing, even if he did identify Kira he'd be on a boat ride to Abu Dhabi by the time he did if he tried the running away route
>rule of cool excuses stupid shit
>this is fair, ambulance backing up over a victim is still fucking idiotic
Deus ex machinas and asspulls accomplish the exact same thing. They mean the same thing.
>Jotaro got wounded the chapter before, and nothing established he wouldn't get up before hours, especially since Jotaro is hardcore. But most importantly it's not a necessary element to save the plot. Araki could've had Josuke get the drop on Kira and beat the shit out of him.
I don't care how hard Jotaro is, those are grievous. I don't mind not immediately dying from them, but you're not in fighting condition. Josuke and Okuyasu couldn't have gotten the drop on Kira because they were too far away at that moment.
>The story says Hayato was still not dead when Josuke healed him
You blow up, you die. It's instant. He got his fucking head dissected into little pieces.
These aren't some minute details you'd only focus on if you're autistic, these are broad strokes.
(cont.)
Mason Torres
I never wanted to knock the basic premise, but I'm saying that its bizarre nature doesn't excuse the lack of consistency and the fact that the protagonists can just pull whatever they want out of their ass to win and that I can apply the basis of Death Note's premise being flawed to Jojo. Yugioh also does weird, creative shit and uses its narrative and visual language to speak to the reader (Duelist Island is my favorite with this) but when I read Yugioh I can see every step the winner took to come out on top and what the loser did to eat shit. Jojo doesn't do this. Jojo does shit like Narancia completely ignoring his carotid artery getting bit into to win.
Carson Ortiz
Those are all either details that only matter if your perspective is "this isn't science" (which is stupid) or making up shit. We're literally discussing the size of the holes Jotaro got after the magical toy car blew him up. If you're discussing that kind of shit unironically and can't notice there's something wrong, then I can't help you.
Yugioh totally pulls this stuff by the way. And it's not really an issue either. The early duels were literally glorified role playing games.
Austin Martinez
There's no discussion on the holes because the point is that they were massive, incapacitating injuries. I understand that you're supposed to suspend your disbelief, but Jojo basically wants you to turn your brain off.
Gabriel Morales
Interpreting those holes as "there's absolutely no way Jotaro will regain consciousness for 10 seconds so his punchghost can beat up Kira" is only your interpretation. If after 4 seasons of critical injuries not being critical, you still read it this way, then you're the one being a bit slow.
Luis Miller
Are people still defending Jojo’s shitty writing?
Daniel Moore
>still arbitrary
yeah its a fucking explosion
araki literally just said "ok it needs to be powerful enough to kill someone but i cant let it be TOO powerful so ill make it hard to see but not an instant kill"
Joseph Foster
I really like the worldbuilding of Morioh but ultimately it's underused. There was no need to introduce new stand users, and more of the people we met should have been involved against Kira.
Julian Davis
>yeah its a fucking explosion
meant to say its a fucking magic explosion but you get my point
Jacob Martinez
That's not an interpretation, that's really basic logic at play. It's not like critical injuries are commonplace prior anyway. Polnareff gets fucked up by Ice and has just enough left in him to kamikaze jump Dio. Caesar gets fucked up and can walk around for a little bit. Then we get to Part 4 and this shit happens. The only other example before is when Jotaro gets his bones broken by DIO in P3 and can still fight for some reason.
>can explode hard enough to injure someone but not hard enough to kill them at point-blank even though it's basically completely identical to a grenade explosion
Evan Sanchez
>basically completely identical to a grenade explosion
their similarities begin and end with them being explosions
again you are hung up on a magical explosion being different to a real explosion
Chase James
I don't get why there was a big fuss over the townsfolk all coming together after Shigechi's death and then none of them even try looking into Kira? The Golden Heart of Morioh theme is kinda underplayed outside of the main cast.
Isaiah Gutierrez
Why are you still trying to discuss with someone trying to quantify the strength of a magical explosion by comparing it with a real weapon?
Retards trying to argue science in stupid ass fiction desperately need more self awareness.
Levi Ross
We could’ve gotten a few chapters dedicated to every stand user in Morioh coming up with ways to track Kira, but RPS kid was more important.
James Wood
Honestly I still think Stray Cat's explosion being in a sweet spot to be dangerous but not really deadly is stupid but this does look autistic so I'm gonna knock it off
