JoJo's Part Four Episode 8

I love how nobody pointed this out, but that girl who got her hair caught on fire? After The Hand saved her, there was a huge bald spot on the back of her head. You can see it when she turns her head at around 40:40.

Ant: "I hate hardboiled eggs." Alicia: (a look of utter betrayal)

Brazilians also have the same problem. The one derogatory word I grew using a LOT (I'm old. We just did that) and now avoid like the plague after learning its origins is "fag." Apparently the term comes from the fact we used to burn gay people at the stake too and used a bundle of sticks (a fag) to light them up. Learning that shit made using the word REAL uncomfortable for me...

Sharles Davis Kendy

the n word being black in spanish rings so true, i'm from a native spanish speaking country and i've sometimes almost been hit due to me saying black in spanish to address some item's color randomly so yeah

ffp

Wow it looks like ant was right. W ant, because of guts.

lightwizard

Yeah, the origin of a derogatory term is all about use and context "retardation" just means "slowed"; that's why a fire retardant is just a material that takes longer to burn; its reaction is slowed. But by using it as an insult, it becomes derogatory as well as when it is used incorrectly. Some people's mental development is slowed, but not all. People used the R word against people with cerebral palsy even though their mental level is not affected by the condition. Thus making it an insult to people with conditions that didn't affect their mental capacity at all. And during WWII, the shortened word for "Japanese" became a directory term as it was used on the Japanese enemy soldiers and Japanese Americans that were placed in internment camps. But look at Scotland. I'm Scottish, and I get called a "Scot" all the time, and it's not seen as an offensive word simply because that term was never sued in a derogatory manner against my people or me. The derogatory terms for the Scottish used by the English are "Scotch" and "Jock." And the N-word was and still is the Spanish word for "black." Any term can become derogatory or offensive with use. And to people that get mad when words become offensive, try defending the N-word. That was once as an acceptable thing to say no matter who you are. Language evolves, and just because something was fine to say 20 years ago doesn't mean it is cool to say now. In my opinion, it is okay to say something if it's the official definition, and I will keep doing so until it's changed, but once it is changed, I'll adapt and use other terms. Or if a slang word becomes offensive, I'll stop using it if I like the person. But not if I don't. "Bastard" and "Bitch" are offensive terms because a bastard is someone born out of wedlock, and a bitch is a female dog. So you are insulting someone's birth or calling them a dog when you use them. I'll call someone that if I don't like them precisely because it's offensive.

Sheriff Uchiha

my crack theory is that Yukako was originally planned to be a Higashikata, and Josuke's sister, thereby tying her more to the story.

Adriborte

what i like with part 4, it the fact, we put a lot, but a lot of foreshadowing moment who are exclusive to the anime, for exemple, if you come back to episode 1 and go to the moment we see the crowd in the end. You can actually see shadow of some stand users like Yukako and Keicho

Kuma

Okay, time for a patented super dumb crack theory I have that is most likely not true but the percent is never 0! I believe that Yukako is a distant (and I mean DISTANT) descendant of Bruford from part 1. My evidence? So I’m not saying that Bruford had a stand. But both he and Yukako have this really weird ability with their hair. Like, total control and the ability to pierce the skin and pull people around. (Also family members, while not always having the same or similar ability, there is precedent for that being the case.) Finally, personality type. Bruford was an extremely loyal knight under his queens rule. So loyal that he fought until he believed that he could save his queen by giving up his own life. That undying loyalty twisted by evils influence. Here we have Yukako with extremely similar problems going on. She’s young, has been given a power to get what she wants and is abusing it. Warping that same sense of absolute loyalty. Also before I close this out, their is also precedent in JoJo for personality traits to be passed down. Pointing to Jonathan and his unyielding sense of justice. Each subsequent JoJo has had their own form of absolute justice that’s been shaped by their personality (Jotaro being the closest even if his personality would make you think otherwise.) So yeah, that’s pretty much it. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

The kind of people that don't realize Freedom of Speech isn't freedom from consequences, as if their freedom to say things should be stronger than other people's freedom to live their lives without getting shit on for reasons they shouldn't be shit on.

Aye Jaye

Yup, glad those days are behind us.

Chanfyr

that friend sounds like a lot of right-wing folks in the U.S.. "i should be able to say whatever i want!" "okay. but people may criticize you for that" "OMFG WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES FOR MY ACTIONS" rules for thee, but not for me types.

Princess Paladin

I hope nothing else but better health and best wishes to you.

sexy hunk

Oof relatable. I remember stealing food from a gas station as a kid because I was so hungry and the only food I got was from the free meals in school and during the summer from a church that gave away free lunches

Carrie Thomas

Man, I remember stealing and eating dog food when I was homeless. Fun times.

Chanfyr

I was in special ed all my childhood. Calling someone retard to put them down is not right but saying they have a retarded condition is fine because you are not using it as an insult. Just don’t use a persons condition as a reason to diminish them. We can be in a challenging position compared to others but we still can thrive just fine despite our hardships.

Daisy Azuras

Take your time and don't push yourself too much :)

Armando Andrés

Good to see you meet Yukako. She's practically the originator of Yanderes XD. I hope things in your life get better!

Reiko Lupus

Alicia 1st 🙏🙏🙏

方树正

Well bar soap is made mostly of fat/vegetable oil so if it's not too perfumed or anything it'd be way easier to physically eat than an eraser

Grei Glace

That got dark near the end. My mind can't get over that surgery complication.

Nate Zabinski

Thank you for the episode! I hope youre doing better <3

Lemon Rat

I hope you get better soon Alice. PS: I use your videos to practice my ear with English and well, if you ever want to say the name of the series in spanish it would be "Las Aventuras Bizarras De JoJo"

Marco Orrego

Take your time to get as back to good health. Your fantastic reactions can wait until then

Dusk553

Mother Yandere

Memento Forever

I really hope you get well really soon 🥺

Robert Mitchell

God hearing you talk about your pain during reactions and knowing the cause of it is really morbid (OBVIOUSLY not your fault, you didnt know that) , fuck that surgeon.

VJ Sins

Yeah I’m just a strong believer in, if something hurts someone then just don’t do it. I’m happy my friends are open minded to have discussions and learn or debate. But sometimes it’s exhausting when it’s a constant thing, ya know?

aliciaxlife

We have a lot of people from the Balkans where I live and the food is really nice. I've also been to Croatia and Greece and both are really cool places!

Bastiwen

Or just come to to the Balkans, the food and tourist sights are the only good things here.

Barnabás Mucsi

as i always say you are never 100% correct on a subject so it is good to debate respectfully with people to get an idea of what other opinions are but sadly nowadays people just shout to you and they dont try to learn a different point of view

acercando

Fun fact: Yukako was actually one of the earliest/the 1st incarnation of the yandere trope, as Araki didnt base her of the trope, he just came up with her. So she maybe not as crazy as yanderes go but thats cuz she is one of the mothers of the trope.

VJ Sins

30:17 The short incel didnt say there was an enemy who would be disguised, he said a thing that will be a staple of most encounters from this point forward. "For some reasons stands users are attracted to one another, it could be friendly, it could be animositiy, but a certain attraction" this isnt verbatum but its the jist of it, stand users gravitate to one another via the string of fate. He wasnt talking about one enemy, just stand users as a whole.

VJ Sins

dont worry take your time even a break if you need it we'll wait you always

acercando

Its easy to miss but when they flash the name of the song on the credits you can see it say in engligh "Crazy Noisy Bizzare Town EDM Arrange ver." Also thank you for posting this, cant wait until you get better but dont rush yourself! Stay safe

VJ Sins

Thank you for the episode. Get well soon. We'll patiently await your return.

RamenRay

Get well soon Alicia. We don’t need you dying out here. Now, Music references and Stand Info Episode 8 Yukako Yamagishi’s Stand Love Deluxe gets its name from the Album Love Deluxe by Sade. Love Deluxe is another Stand in the Bound Stand type, being inherently bound to Yukako’s hair. Love Deluxe’s ability allows Yukako to free manipulate her hair, allowing it to grow to various lengths, and move with expert strength and dexterity. In addition to this, Yukako can also shoot strands of hair at people and use them to control that person.

Mr. 2Dirty

Love the mini AA podcasts at the start of the episodes.

Mojo

Thanks for the episode

TrinitytheApostle

Get well soon Alicia. Don’t push yourself too far, take time to recover.

PrivateSparky

Don't you dare die on me woman.

Werguild

Keeping you in our thoughts, Alicia. Also your friend with the slurs sounds like he's emotionally twelve, you're a much more patient person than I for even putting up with him thus far.

Geth Who

Fun fact about Yukako, she is considered like the first ever Yandere character in manga. Without knowing it, Araki basically created a whole new archetype. And yeah, it's pretty much based on Misery, +1 for both of you :D Also, is "White people food is bland" really a stereotype in North America ? Because if that's the case y'all need to travel a bit and try more than anglo-saxon cuisine hehe

Bastiwen

Take all the time you need Alicia, we'll be here waiting when you're ready to come back! <3 But not until you've gotten plenty of rest!

Harper

Yeah take care of yourself and don’t mind us. We can wait.

Sander

Don't push yourself too hard. Rest as much as you need and get well! 💜

Secco Mode (Periwinkle)

Rest and heal Alicia. The anime and all of us will wait for you to feel better.

Michael Mavis

Honestly, just take a break. Your health is a lot more important than trying to get a few more episodes out.

CJ

I hope you get better soon but don't rush things, your gealth is the most important thing :)

Bastiwen

Praying you dont do any work and just take care of yourself. Sending you nothing both love and hugs.

Ivan

Please don't push yourself! I know myself and many others will be happy to stick around even if you need an extended period to recover and figure stuff out

Isaac

Health first 🫶 Jojo 2nd
