| That fucker killed his gf, gym guy and mail guy, Rohan sure send him for a nice ride to hell. enjoyed this episode. |
| Reminding that excessive muscle building is believed by some psychologist to be the social equivalent of female anorexia for male. And that way Araki can draw more muscles too, truly fate. |

| If my portion of anime seen ever gets lower than 10% of the database, consider me dead. |
| that was an amazing episode and major jump in art quality, really hype for jojolion after this. |
| from now on i'll go for a run listening to that intense bgm |
| Best Rohan episode so far, I love how they can cram in 20 minutes what is done is at least 3 episodes in other animes, and without it feeling rushed. Also I like the ed. |
 |
| Probably my favorite episode of the OVAs so far. They made something as simple as a competition in a gym into something intense and life-risking. The ending hinting that Youma Hashimoto may come back for Rohan was creepy as heck. It also featured some nice voice acting of Takahiro Sakurai. Rohan cannot catch a break, when he's not dealing with David Bowie look-alikes, supernatural beings or ancient curses, he's having competitions with actual Gods. Being a Stand user is not easy. |
 |
| best OVA & best one-shot |
| This is why one should never socialise in a gym... Bizarre is the norm in the JoJo franchise, but this episode exceeded my expectations. Even the open ending was fitting. Here is something to keep you awake during these long nights of self-isolation:  |
| This was insanely intense I forgot to breathe. Great episode. |

I did a screenshot of the very same frame, such a great picture. I have never thought running could be so intense. |
| Holy shit, this was so on point. Best Rohan ep yet. |
 |
| Lol, nice reference to the UI of the arcade fighting game "JoJo: Heritage for the future" |
  |
| Damn this was an intense episode, I feel quite sad for his 'girlfriend' quite the power and I actually would find it interesting to see more of his stand actually. |
 |
| I hope we'll see that guy again, he's intense. |
 |
| Great episode, that guy was really crazy, his haircut made me think of Jobin Higashikata |
 |
| Reading this part in manga form was really fun but David Pro's execution of The Run was absolutely phenomenal! They went all in with their creative liberties which can only be done in this medium and expanded my enjoyment for the original story for miles on end~ Youma's muscles were glorious and Rohan's desperation during their treadmill competition was intense as hell. I can also relate to Mika having to deal with someone who's like my fitness nut of a brother to an extent lmao |
 |
| Intense battle there, Yoma is quite the piece of shit for treating others terribly and even killing his innocent girlfriend, delivery guy and random gym guy. Quite the ominous end there on Yoma at least Rohan didn't forgot to do his leg day. |
 |
| This was the last episode on the Netflix upload. Since this is now a "Netflix Original", hopefully they can fund more episodes. Rohan is a fantastic main character and story teller. |
| this story is basically about an alternate universe yu narukami from persona 4 who becomes so obsessed with work out and competitions, that he became a literal fitness god, who's also a sociopathic murderer. these ova's were great. araki is really good at making intense horror stories. i'd be nice if david production keeps animating jojo one shots between each parts/seasons. |
| Interesting to see Netflix (Europe) switched this episode with the last after the original release of the main ova in 2017. Quite nice to rewatch these short but ever so interesting stories! |
|
| This was insanity purely bred into animation, truly Bizarre. I hope that fiend found his demise. |
| This was by far the best episode. Goddamn, the SOUNDTRACK WAS PHENOMENAL. The animation was great for an OVA episode. So, this was the infamous gym scene that I saw on YT. Yoma was possessed by the God Of Muscles in the end. Still a faggot for killing his girlfriend, deliveryman and the random dude for his own sake. |

| Rohan. His hand messed up. Yoma. She fell. lol Brad Pitt. Dat list. He stole her money. Damn. He going in on the delivery guy. Rohan vs Yoma. Behind him... is that a... Sutando? She dumb for trying to put her hand in a jump rope barrier. LMAO he out of control now. Bouldering in HER apartment? Great episode. Loved the run scene. @KatoWorks You screwed up the episode order. The Confessional is the 3rd episode and The Run is the 4th. You should have figured that out with the 1st two episodes. |

KatoWorks said: This thread had already became The Run, so it doesn't really matter tbh. Because as the thread creator, you made Episode 3 The Run and Ep 4 The Confessional. You made 2 errors in the same day and failed to fix it when you had enough time to do that just by looking at the time stamps of everyone after you. The rest followed you along like sheep without questioning it. You failed to report the threads for the mod can fix it. It doesn't matter because you don't care.... The response I expected from you if you were to reply as expected. |

Getting worked up over a thread really isn't my thing, is the order different on netflix or something because I never actually seen the order myself because I watched this before any streaming site licensed it. Plus I already moved on. |
| Thread has been properly formatted to the correct number episode discussion. |
| This was my favorite episode Rohan made the right choice he didn’t even look down the window and moved on |
 |
| In classic JoJo tradition, it keeps getting more bizarre at every scene. Right after he converted one side of his gf's apartment for boudlering, it's then revealed turned an entire corner of the apartment into a climbing wall. Damn, I knew something was up when the PT's other client wasn't showing up. To remind you people can run that fast or faster exist, Rohan mentions that Usain Bolt is still quicker than the treadmill's top speed. I like the game graphics overlay they showed for the treadmill race. After the muscles formed a wing pattern, I expected Yoma to sprout wings on his back (thus fly away if he were to lose and get thrown out of the window he shattered). It is in fact evidence he is an avatar for the Greek God hermes. Thanks to Heaven's Door, Rohan prevailed in the end. Lesson to learn don't engage in games with him. |

| So tense episode, woah! Rohan vs. Hermes, the god of muscles, haha. Fine episode ending a fine and entertaining series. It was cool to return to Morioh and hear all those stories told by Rohan. |
| Haha all for them muscles, what a sigma male, just kill everyone if they get in your way haha. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Well, that was disturbing. Dude ended up killing everyone who bothered him with his newly found addiction. I kind of had this image of gym enthusiasts but gee, that was bizarre level and props to the creator for managing to come up with this. Going to use on some of my friends and my brother, xD. When he broke the windows though, I knew things were going to be go down bad... Good thing Kishibe managed to slip by using Heaven's Door. To be honest, only the episode and the first stood out to me as solid 7s but the other two were just about okay-fine. I'll settle with a generous 7/10 nonetheless. |

| @PrashastSingh @DrShitACrit idk if you guys have checked it yet, but it seems that our reviews have been spammed with likes by bots. I've checked and they're 95% random bot accounts that haven't been on the since they've been made. |

| very great episode lol, that guy got possessed by Hermes, the messenger of the Gods, he was crazy enough to kill not only his GF but even the deliveryman and the guy working out at that gym, this episode was wild lol |
NeoCinnamon said: I was a little confused when the episodes said something like Episode 9 when there were only 4 episodes. Were there more episodes that didn't get released or is it some translation error, or does netflix only have these four I don't know. i have the same doubt, does no one know? |
