104. Stardust Crusaders: Bastet's Mariah, Part 1

For this episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, we review Steel Ball Run: Tusk, Part 2 (E8 of Part 7). Johnny’s Joestar resolve (and a little self-confidence) are taking shape as he sets out to save Gyro and take down the enemy Stand user. We discuss the new name for his Stand, how bad we feel for unconscious Gyro, suspending our disbelief with how fast some characters figure things out, and whether our theory about the corpse is true.

For this episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, we review Steel Ball Run: The Terrorist from a Faraway Country (E5 of Part 7). Gyro’s palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy as he’s confronted by an enemy from his past.

The lore of Stands in this new universe is beginning to come to light, but we’re left with even more questions than answers.

For this episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, we review Steel Ball Run: The Desert-Born Outlaws (E3 of Part 7). The crazy, nonsensical, and bizarre nature of JoJo is in full force with the trio of enemy Stand users that we meet in this episode.

For this episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, we review Steel Ball Run: The Sheriff's Request to Mountain Tim (E2 of Part 7). SBR is back! JoJo Fridays are back! CG JoJo OPs are back!

For this episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, we review Stardust Crusaders: Bastet's Mariah, Part 2 (E31 of Part 3). Hilarity ensues as Avdol and Joseph grow closer to each other in a very literal sense. Outside of their meme-worthy moments, we discuss if Mariah was a compelling enemy for the duo to face, and just how oblivious the other JoBros are to their plight.
