Review:
This JoJo series had the Wild West vibe in it. But if you put in mind that this was written by Araki, you'll know this isn't simply a cowboy-themed adventure. In this series, they added a hint of religion-inspired reference. The cross-continental run throughout America was just a front for the U.S President's attempt to collect the corpse of a well-known religious figure.
Each of the characters has their own colorful back story in why they participated on the race, with a new set of Stands, abilities, horse-riding skills, and charisma. It will make you empathize with them in a way that you'll wish everyone could share the prize money or whatsoever.
Based on my understanding, this wouldn't be possible if the whole dimension didn't shift in Part 6. I commend Araki for his wide imagination and for creating an entirely different parallel universe.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Favorite character/s:
Gyro Zepelli. One of them eccentric character. Exemplary charmer and doctor. See that visuals??? It's a shame he died during the race. If he lived until the end his efforts will just be a waste since the kid who became the reason of his participation, simply died from a disease.
Hot Pants. Trap. Also in for her Stand ability and her neutrality.
Steven Steel. Best boy. I commend him for marrying Lucy without getting horny and for getting up after a lot of losses in life.
