Me encanta el encuentro con D'arby.

PD: amo a Jotaro.

[Bumbo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Here we go. D'Arby is an awesome encounter. This is a "battle" designed around what Jojo does best; intense back and forths based on outsmarting your opponent. We get a couple of simple games that are made intense by the level of deceit going on. And seeing just what sleight of hand these guys will use to get the win is a ton of fun.

The inclusion of a real life dealing trick was a nice touch. Araki said that manga artists should maintain a constant interest in learning new things. And that's made apparent by the inclusion of things like second dealing. That prompted me to do research on the subject, and I ended up watching a couple of videos on dealing tricks. So Jojo got me to go out and learn something about the real world, which is really cool.

As the stakes continued to be raise I was on the edge of my seat. Because I have no idea how they're gonna get out of this situation. But I know it's going to be some hype shit that is still totally believable. The final hand of poker was amazing. Probably the most exciting part of Stardust Crusaders. Jotaro brazenly raising the stakes as D'arby slowly breaks down. And the payoff at the very end. Just, wow.

And then my boys Hol Horse and Oingo Boingo team up. Get out of here! Comedy gold. This self serious loser cowboy has to fulfill some stupid prophecy or else he's doomed. 10/10. The best individual volume of Jojo so far.

Fantastic volume, Loved it!!!👌😁❤️❤️

[Fugo Feedback · Rating 4 out of 5]

Los capítulos contra D'arby son una oda al ingenio, las trampas y el mundillo de los juegos de azar. Si a mí que apenas me interesan los juegos de cartas me gustó, me imagino a alguien como mi hermano Santi le parecerá directamente una genialidad.
En cuanto a los capítulos contra Hol Horse y Boingo, otra pequeña joyita que habla de las profecías autoprovocadas y los giros inesperados -y esperados pero impredecibles- del supuesto destino. Lástima que su lucha no termina en este tomo, pero de todos modos pienso arrancar el que sigue cuanto antes.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the episode cut for this part?

Por lejos este volumen se lo lleva D’Arby (Osiris) y sus apuestas contra Jotaro. Una pelea fría, calculadora, y muy fiel a la personalidad del hijo de Joseph, por lo que da una alegría increíble verlo ganar con puro bluff. Y volvió Dio, demostrándonos que es la última carta del tarot y claramente la más fuerte, donde me intriga saber si la fuerza bruta o el ingenio premiaran al vencedor de ese duelo. Por mientras, tendremos que seguir viendo las predicciones del pequeño con Hol Horse, haciendo todo aún más divertido.

DARBY. UGH. THIS WAS SUCH A GREA STAND. and i think it was such a great way to show jotaro's skill. like he knew had had a shitty hand and bluffed darby SO HARD. it was so great and how they both cheated and how they tried to get around each other?? raising the stakes of the bets like?? one of my favs from the anime and in the manga. BUT. WE HAVE FUCKING HOL HORSE BACK. MY GOAT. AND HE AND POLNAREFF DOING SHIT. LETS GOOOOOOO

3 estrellas.

Como ya comenté, maratonee los tomos por lo cual no me acuerdo mucho de este tomo.

Sólo puedo destacar el giro que dan los stands y como se relaciona de cierta manera con los nombres que se les da.

Y también mantengo mi opinión respecto a los personajes y el rol que tienen en la historia.

[Hannah Belyea · Rating 4 out of 5]

Unable to locate Dio's mansion in Cairo, Jotaro and his allies see information, only to find their souls on the line when facing a master gambler and his thieving Stand - and unaware of Hol Horse's plans of utilizing Boingo's predictive abilities to finally defeat them all! Araki will keep fans on their toes with this tense yet darkly humourous entry.

Mastodontica minchia di Jotaro Kujo sbattuta sul tavolo da gioco di D'Arby

[Aiden · Rating 4 out of 5]

This manga was good because it had all of the fundamentals to draw in a person such as comedy, action, and grief.

[Erika · Rating 3 out of 5]

Hol-Horse and Joseph Joestar. They're my favourite 'cause they don't always win.
On the other hand, Jotaro... he's invincible, thus boring.

[Omexmo · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.0 - Vey que negóci0 esquisito, não consigo explicar se é bom ou ruim

[Bucletina]

Admito que vi el animé primero (para el horror de Fefu) pero me gustó lo suficiente como para leerme todo el manga cuando pueda.
Y aunque acá haya dejado de ser el protagonista y esté peinando canas, sólo puedo decir ¡Cómo le entro a Joseph! <3
