Hey everyone! Here it is - my reaction to season three, ep 1 of the Rohan live action series! Oh dang guys, this one was really freaky!!!! Maybe it's cause it centered around Rohan personally, or many it was just a shift in tone a bit - but it definitely left me feeling a bit eerie! That being said, I LOVE the doggy!!!!!!!!! OMG, both the baby and adult versions looked just like Buffy!!!! Dang, I guess we've gotta be careful what shrines we're wandering into, because things got SERIOUSLY messed up for Rohan in this one! Great ep! Enjoy! ~ MH

Hey Melissa, this was a really good episode to kick off the third season of this series. The episode was very much inspired by the manga chapter of the same name, which is still very unknown in the western anime community as it only came out in 2021, right after Araki finished Jojolion. It is also only fan translated into English so far and not yet available in cover form. At first, I didn't really know where the episode was headed, but the more I watched, the better I remembered that I had read or at least heard about the manga chapter some time ago. I could remember that Rohan had a dog at some point and that led right back to this manga chapter. The episode sticks very close to the manga material. Only a few things were changed here and there. For example, Rohan's crazy girlfriend didn't have snakes as pets, but a crocodile. Of course, they couldn't really implement this in the series without putting the actors in danger. I also did a bit of research on the actor of Rohan Issey Takahashi. And in his wiki it says that he has been a fan of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure mangas and the character of Rohan since he was in high school. According to him, when he received the phone call about an offer to play Rohan, he was so happy that he “began dancing with the phone on his hand”. Takahashi was also heavily involved with the character's costume design; during production of the second season, he gave the character designer, Isao Tsuge, the idea of making the jagged edges on Rohan's headband shaper to be more faithful to the manga. In the third season, he also suggested to change the headband from faux leather to real leather, eventually deciding to use horse leather. The more I read about the actor, the more I fall in love with him. He's such a cool guy. And probably very different in real life to how he plays Rohan. It's a shame he doesn't have social media so that you can stalk him a bit. But that's what the show is for, so that you can admire the actor a bit. I'll include the link to the manga chapter in my comment so that you can read the original if you feel like it and compare how they did it in the series. https://mangadex.org/chapter/86986c93-89b9-4ffe-99c8-97fe6bb2c383/1

Unsettling to the max! But this was so good. My understanding is he was out cold while the spirit was running things on its own accord. The spirit was his shadow. I’m not sure exactly what that implies exactly but probably a mimic that does what one wouldn’t normally do. In this case, fan-servicing and leniency towards his work ethics. Ones he would never tamper with by any means. The fact Izumi was able to convince him means she made him do the impossible which is hilarious. Man that was so trippy. That fan girl was sick in the head. It’s so crazy how he left it to “her” to fix everything. We don’t know what the outcome for her will be exactly— just that he’s written in she is unable to do harm onto others which is terrifying in itself. Crazy episode. Creepy story. I loved it 😬 😱 😥

SO unsettling right!!! Yeah I think you're right about how it worked! That's the thing, I feel like maybe the spirit was like, the things he had potential to do but wouldn't....? Lol I love that she convinced him! If anyone could do it, it's her! Omg I know, that girl was seriously messed up, yet he had to leave it to her to fix everything, dang! I think you're right, I think he just gave her the "order" not to hurt anyone else, since there's really no way to hold her accountable for things that never happened. SO creepy!!!!! Me too!!! XD

Hey Leonie! Wow, that's so cool that this is an actual story but one that is so rare and was never officially translated! Oh that's interesting about the subtle differences! Thank you SO much for the link, I'm def gonna read this!!! Aww that's amazing that the actor is such a big fan, how cute about the dance hahaha! I love that he's had input on the design like that. He seems really loveable, maybe a bit unlike Rohan haha! Thanks again for the link!!
