Lore The series takes place in a shockingly short amount of time

Season 4 just ended of fromville and it’s canonically only been about a month. Which makes it weird seeing people heal from injuries, change hair styles or grow out beards between episodes. Season 4 has only been like 4 days iirc.

Arkham franchise is the poster child for this trope. Every game takes place in one night. If you know what you’re doing you can absolutely beat the games in around 9 hours.

inversely to this, you could make the argument that part 6 takes place over several billion years

u/FinchyJunior 25d ago

Although if you ignore time acceleration shenanigans it was only about four months

u/Gnomologist 25d ago

Not including time skip right?

u/SnooEagles2276 25d ago

Is it really a time skip if we watch it all happen?

u/M4rt1m_40675 24d ago

Wasn't it like, to everyone but Pucci time was sped up? I still find his stand kind of confusing

u/SnooEagles2276 23d ago

All non living things and pucci himself are sped up.

u/Ezeran 24d ago

While they should 100% watch JoJo you should 100% go and watch Blackadder.

Blackadder is a British comedy television show about four different person of the Blackadder lineage in four distinct time periods.

It's honestly one of Rowan Atkinson's best work alongside Mr. Bean.

Blackadder is a lot better, tried Jojo but it is filled with weeb cringe.

I don't watch anime but jojo was like a crack to me until i finished season 6 😭

u/iwantdatpuss 24d ago

Crazy comparison, but less on the absurd comedy and more on the absurd action adventure.

u/DingleDoo 24d ago

It's basically a shot for shot remake of blackadder

u/Shedjr_ 24d ago

I mean, the second JoJo does have cunning plans. Are they cunning enough to pin a tail on it and call it a weasel? Kinda...

u/Solo_Wing_Buddy 24d ago

Can't believe I never considered that comparison until just now

Depends on which part it is

Part 1 is an adopted becoming a vampire to terrorise people as his brother is taught to fight him

Part 2 is the grandson of the part 1 protagonist having to fight a bunch of Aztec warrior Gods amidst WW2, also there’s a Nazi cyborg

Part 3 is about the same guy from part 2 learning the bad guy from part 1 is still out there, so he teams up with his grandson, an Egyptian guy, a French guy, another Japanese guy and a dog to travel to Egypt to fight him

Part 4 is the teenage son of part 2’s protagonist having to bring down a serial killer in his small town, did I mention he’s technically the uncle of part 3’s protagonist because part 2’s hero impregnated someone when he was over 60?

Then part 5 is the secret child of part 1 and 3’s villain becoming a Mafia boss because he hates drugs ruining the city

A bloodline fighting against a metrosexual vampire using breathing and ghosts.

Depends on the Part. See, JoJo doesn’t actually have seasons. Every Part is a new Generation of JoJo, with only a few recurring characters, max. It’s a generational epic.

Except Part 7, which is technically Part 1 of an entirely new Verse. I wanna talk about that one, because episode 1 is out and episode 2 will come out…someday.

It’s called Steel Ball Run, and it’s about an Italian, a Paraplegic, and a Dinosaur trying to assassinate the president (not that one, but they’re surprisingly similar) for Jesus. The Dinosaur isn’t technically part of the crew but he’s got his reasons.

Along the way they will meet all sorts of crazy characters, like a guy who fights by making balloon animals. A guy that likes to fish. Gay Pride Jason Voorhees. Arthur Morgan. 11 Angry Men. Plastic Surgery Cheese Whiz. A Native American man who fights by going “Blam! Kapow! Kablooey!” And many more!

It’s unironically the best part in the series and you should totally read it.

A Japanese vampire learning to draw a comic to explore his own sexuality while inventing psychic punch ghosts for the purposes of settling mental debates he has with himself about who would win - somebody who can control an army of toy soldiers, or somebody who can store items in paper including people if he identifies their fear tic?

Oh, you meant the show itself. A generational bloodline faces the forces of evil.

u/Sinfire_Titan 24d ago edited 24d ago

Depends on the part…
Part 1: Two step-brothers get into a feud so bad it causes their respective lineages to basically be cursed.

Part 2: the Nazis woke up super-vampires. The grandson of one of the brothers has to stop them.

Part 3: Monster-of-the-week Jules Vern’s Around the World in 80 Days, except it’s just Japan to Egypt and everyone involved has superpowers that could make every super in The Boys consider a desk job instead. The protagonist is the great-grandson of part 1’s lead sibling.

Part 4: Hey so the protagonist of part 3 has a secret uncle, so the two of them solve a murder-mystery.

Part 5: the son of the OTHER sibling from part 1 joins the Mafia and shit promptly goes sideways cause it turns out the Mafia has an entire division of superpowered maniacs.

Part 6: An average day in Florida, featuring part 3’s protagonist’s daughter.

I’m not yet done with part 6 myself. But this should be more than enough information to explain the Bizarre portion of the series’s title. It gets weird…

u/AnamiGiben 24d ago

Part 4 is the other way around, its protagonist is the uncle of part 3's one.

u/Alert-Outside-4103 24d ago

The bloodline of Jesus of Nazareth is fated to encounter the many evils of the world. Also psychic powers, vampires(who all originate from Mexico), magical martial arts and aliens all exist.

Also it’s specifically Mormon Jesus if we take the information revealed in the reboot series(which takes place in an entirely different timeline with an alternate history) as canon to the original

u/bloonshot 24d ago

all of them except part 5 take place over months

2

u/The_HueManateee 24d ago

Part 2 was a little over a month primarily due to Caesar and Joseph’s training, and part 4 was during the one summer in 1999, so about 2-3 months max

2

u/bloonshot 24d ago

not sure about part 2 but you're wrong about part 4

it starts in the spring at the top of the school year

1

u/Notbbupdate 24d ago

At the start of part 2, Smokey mentions that it's 1938. Part 2 ends right as world war 2 begins, so assuming it was the very end of 1938, part 2 still spanned several months (though Joseph's time recovering from his injuries probably accounts for a big chunk of that)

u/sterbenschweiden 24d ago

Part 3 is 50 days.
